MONEY is POURING In.
The Wolf Is No Longer at Mrs.
Parnell's Door.


New YORK, Nov. 1s.-Last Saturday
morning the Associated Press sent out
a dispatch from Bordentown, N. j., tell
ing of the sad condition to which pow
erty had reduced Mrs. Della Stewart
Parnell. The dispatch stated that her
house, "Ironsides," was mortgaged for
$4,000, and that unless the sum of 1858
was raised at once the mortgage would
be foreclosed, and the mother of Charles
Stewart Parnell would be without roof
over her head. Before the sun went
down that night the telegraph had
brought her enough money to pay the
interest and taxes, and still the money
continues to flow in from all parts OF
the United States. 1t looks now as
though Mrs. Parnell had seen her dark
est days, and the wolf is no longer at
the threshold of "Old lronsides." 1t is
probable from the aid already offered
that the HIustrlOus Irish leaders mother
will not only be secure from further
want and destitutiOn, but that the sum
of the entire mortgage on the place will
be raised. Mrs. ParnelPs warm heart
is filled with gratitude toward her
generous friends. Oyerseer James

PARNELL IGNORANT OF THE SITUATION.
LONDON, Nov. 16.-Mr Parnell states
that he was greatly surprised when he
read in the newspaper the reports
which spoke Of the poverty OF his
mother. and that he Immediately cabled
to his agent in New York TO supply her
with funds. He had no reason to sup
pose that his mother was pressed for
money, as on previous occasions when
she required help she had always APP
piled for and obtained prompt remit
tance of the sum required. He had re-
eeived number of letters from her
recently. and in none of them did
she complain of want of
money. On the contrary, she
wrote in good spirits, and referred
to her intention to realize a large amount
from the crops Of her estate at Borden
town, n. j. These crops she had been
storing for several years. waiting for an
advance in prices, and she expected to
obtain for them the sum of $3.50. Mr..
Parnell thinks his mothers income from
the crops has been attached, to await
the issue of a legal proceeding in regard
to a foreclosure sale of the BOrdentoWn
estate. He does not suppose there is
any danger of such sale, as years ago
he instructed his American bankers to
guard against this by necessary advances
of money, if required. His mother had
always declined to reside anywhere but
in America. although he frequently tried
to induce her to live on this side of the
water. SO that he could have a better
chance to care for her.
