ENGLISH YIEwsoF THE UNITED STATES.
What Tory Organ Predicts Would Happen
II Ireland Got Home Rule.

II ireland Got Home Rule.
From the London Spectator
We are convinced that American opinion
and American strength, q strength irresistible
by any European State IL it were once fully
exerted, constitute two of the many dangers
which would result from the concession Of
home rule. That measure would almost infalli-
bly, result in a declaration of independence.
Some of the Irish leaders may be quite sincere
in declaring, as they do when speaking on this
side of the water, that they have no such
scheme in their heads; but their best motive is
the desire to be nation with . separate career,
and without independence they are not such
nation. The highest and therefore in the long
run the most operative aspirations Of their
people, would not be gratihed by liberty as
parish England would always be accused of
intriguing, always hated for her wealth, always
suspected Of meditating invasion; the causes Of
friction would be endless, and some of them
justly resented by the weaker side. and in some
lmpulsive hour the final declaration would be
made.
The vote once passed in Dublin, the indie
pendence of Ireland would be recognized by
the American Union in week. A hundred
motives would induce the politicians of WASH
ington to recommend that course and the peo-
pie, after moment of hesitation, would accept
the advice. They have never quite forgiven
England for recognizing the belligerent rights
of the South. They have never forgotten that
their own freedom was in part owing to French
assistance and that their success has never
theless, never in all the subsequent time en-
barrassed France, except indeed, by making
her for moment think Lafayette great man.
All the desire to give Great Britain a lesson,
which defects American politics before every
Presidential election, all the aspiration to
stretch the States over the provinces of the
Dominion to the pole, all the anxieties of both
parties to rivet the Irish vote, and all the hoat
ing impression of Irish suffering, would tend
together to induce the Union to protect Ire
land.
That would mean war with a State stronger
than ourselves, with 1000 600 of allies, ready to
die for her. living in our own streets, and with
an indefensible territory. which yet must be
defended, stretching along her side. Even un-
der those circumstances, England might sur
vive or emerge victorious; but to say that they
would not be serious circumstances, or that
Ireland, in the event of rebellion, could be sub
dued with ease, Is utter folly. No State, how
ever powerful, will ever again do with ease any
thing to which the American Republic is
strongly opposed. There Is not diplomatist
in Europe who does not know this, or who does
not hold that Napoleon LII. was only sane IN
quitting Mexico, and that Prince Bismarck
showed his wisdom when, rather than quarrel
seriously with Washington. he abandoned all
pretentions In Samoa

One of the remarkable features of the exhi-

world where feas are notlso previous. No Par

are born here. They may come from Puy-de-
Dome, from Boissy-les- aches, or be brought
here by the Arabs and Algerians at the exhibit

hotels swarm with them, is inconceivable to

ONE LOOK.

'T'm sick Of the world, - he said;
81 am sick OF the world and life;
OF the double-faced hypocrisy,
And the strain Of the goddess strife.
~ am sick of the fools that succeed;
am sick of the sages that fail;
OF the pitiless laughter of wealth,
And OF fpoverty's pitiful wall.
4 am sick OF the devils that leer
Atinnocence passing by;
will bar my door to the world;
will lay me down and die"
But there came change as he spoke,
And the mists were burned away;
And the midnight darkness OF his despair
Was turned TO jocund day
And the sun broke forth once more,
TIL his giories filed the skies.
And the magical power that wrought the change
Was one look in woman's eyes.

SWEET SYMPATHY.

No love had / when Beauty came;
And she to me inclined.
Her looks did not my heart infiame,
For her had no mind.
No Low had when Vassar put
A learne maid in view.
She wrote her love in Latin-but
Her stockings were too blue.
And still no love at all had i
When rich Miss Cresus smiled;
But though 1 hated poverty,
Iwould not be beguiled.
No love had until she spoke,
Who read my ev'ry thought,
And knew me not as other folk,
But as a sweetheart ought,
A loTe have who's sure to be
My -ove always-sweet sympathy.

A WAR INCIDENT RECALLED
By the Pensionlng Of Woman Whose
Husband Was Rebel.


ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcz.I
CHARLESTON. w. VA. September 25.-The
receipt to-day by Mrs. Mary Pinson. Of this
county, of q pension check for s2,5O0 recalls to
mind one of the tragic incidents of the re-
bellion. When the war broke out Mrs. Pinson,
now rs years Of age, resided with her husband
and five children ON Blue creek. The husband
was an ardent Confederate, while his wife
warmly espoused the Union cause. When
President Lincoln called for volunteers the
oldest son, Harvey. broke avg from parental
restraint and enlisted IN the Union army. The
boys action made the father furious, and he
swore he would shoot the first Yankee coming
in sight Of the house.
During the summer Of 1851 q squad Of l8 Fed
erals, in charge of Lieutenant, stopped in
front of the house, and the officer climbed up
on fence and sat down. Pinson shot him,
firing through q window. The soldiers fred
several voIleys into the house, and Pinson was
killed and three OF the children mortally
wounded. A few months later Harvey was
killed on the Federal side. Mrs. Pinson has
since had a hard struggle with the world, but
now the Government has insured her the
necessaries of life, at least during her remain
ing years.

THE TOPICAL TALKER.

Natures Fall Opening Not Much to Look At
Soap viii Not Save Him-A Rational
Dog-sweet Sympathy.
FROM present appearances there will not be
a very brilliant display of autumnal tints in the
foliage this year. A row of maple trees near
Edgeworth, in the Sewickley Valley, which in
other years has been notable for the gorgeous
color it lent to beautiful landscape in the fall,
is already nearly bare of leaves. The unusual
humidity of the summer is responsible for
this. The dogwood trees, which are about the
first to wear autumn's bright livery, are in the
same plight-most of them having shed their
leaves.
The hickories are beginning to turn yellow,
but it is not SO varied a color as usual. All the
transformation OF nature at this season prom
ises to take on sober and sad tinge, as if the
trees had not the heart to mark the departure
of SO sloppy summer with decorations of any
account.

EsE
THERE is a little black and tan terrier in
this town who possesses something very like
rational power. In fact. a lady who knows him
intimately declares that he is uncanny in his
intelligence.
A few weeks ago, while this small dog was
being washed upstairs, one of the ladies of the
household discovered in a corner of the parlor
bone, which the dog had evidently hidden
there. She threw the bone out of the window.
When the dog came down from his bath he
went straight to the spot where the bone had
lain. Either he was hungry or he was sus.
picious. There was no doubt about his feel
ings when he discovered that the bone had
been removed. AS he turned aud looked about
the room his anger was shown by every part of
him 1t happened that the lady who had
thrown the bone away entered the room at this
moment with a domestic. The dog looked at
both of them intently, and apparently read the
guilty secret of one of them Alright, for he flew
at her the next moment with great savageness,
and tried very hard to bite her. He was re-
pulsed happily.
Surely, the ability to reason is shown in the
conduct of this dog.
