British at Montreal (Canada) in the year

thence, in irons, to England, where he
was thrown into prison, treated with the
utmost harshness, repeatedly threatened
with execution as a traitor, and the let

for English soldiers taken prisoners BY

A Letter From Mrs. Parnell.

Mrs. Della S. T. Parnell, mother Of
the Irish leader, has been much an
noyed by the unmanly attempts Of some
INSCRIPTIONS enemies to cause her en-
barrassment. In a letter, written a
few days ago, she says:
1.-The lmpertinent remarks of some
in this state about myself and my sur
roundings are copied only in Phlladel~
phia, and that restrictedly, SO they
seem to be circulated by clique, who
air them for interested purposes, and
because am an old lady and not a
man. Yet, what respect and feeling
for woman do not suggest, might be
elected by such sentiments for the
only daughter of the great commodore,
the granddaughter of the good Judge
Tudor, the niece of his equally dis
tinguished son, William Tudor, whose
memory smells so sweet, and of another
son, the benefactor oil the human race
the Ice King, Frederic Tudor, the
mother of another in the miraculous
chain of benefactors, Charles Stewart
Parnel]; of the dead Swan of Erin,
Fanny Parnell; of the unainching hero
inc. Anna Parnell-but why pursue the
list?
'sBut one thing, the leaders of such
antagonisms can only belong to the
set bred in the bone Of those who, for
selfish purposes, prosecuted my poor
mother, whose rare beauty, grace. intel
lect, goodness and accomplishments
far from softening, embittering their
hearts. OF one of such, my father said
he was the greatest rascal that ever
breathed. He and the others must
have been a pair, for my poor father
ever, to me, regretted what he called
the great mistake of his life, never
faltered in praise of my mothers per-
fections, and added that she could do
anything she liked, and would have
made him President ten years before
the Democratic party eventually
brought him forward for nomination.
s'As to the last point on which the
skulking foe hangs his battle rag, it
csn speak for all. The enemy thought
the field of ignorance as safe as it was
vast, but in the Fallon episode [ knew
my son would send none in the place
of the actual farmer at IrOnsides, as he
never mistakes character, and recon-
mend him. Letters and witnesses can
testify to this. So this impertlnence to
me is one to my son, without whose
advice make so important change.
He would be the la st to send adrlft
faithful, honest, intelligent, careful,
industrious men. For the wisdom Of
the farmers. both of us can vouch. The
two men on this place are right men in
the right place, and my sons aged
mother needs such. The very suDpo-.
sition Of his superseding either IS in
the nature Of a wicked slur. III

Their discussion Of the proposal that the
STRENGTHENING branch of the municipal gov
eminent be transferred from the health to the
police department.. and remarks made by them
recently, indicate that the Commissioners are
giving thoughtful consideration to the problem
Of securing clean streets. There are few ques-
tons in whose decision the local public is more
generally interested. Whether from INSULT
cient appropriations or defective methods, or
both, the public spaces of the city have not
been satisfactorily cleaned There has always
been criticism of the small amount of money
which Congress has assigned for this import
ant work, and there have been even louder
and stronger complaints that the most posi-
bic was not accomplished with the money
which was supplied. Reports Of sweeping
which did not sweep. Of methods Of cleaning
which left the sweepings unremoved for SO
long that the rubbish spread itself again over
the street and Of streets not swept In accord
snce with schedule. have come by the hundred
10 the press and doubtless to the Commits
sionsrs. 1t Is well that the Com
nissioners are giving the matter serious
attention The examination into the causes
Of the unsatisfactory service ought to be q
searching and thorough one. Every one will
sincerely hope that the Commissioners may
devise such methods OF securing the faithful
and satisfactory performance of this work that,
il just causes of complaint arise, they may
clearly be seen to result from the failure of
Congress to provide sufficient appropriation,
and not from any fault in the supervision Of
the District government or in the performance
of his duties by the contractor. The public
confidently anticipates cleaner streets for next
year.
