The optiraist Is the jewel OF society.
He IL not born; he is made. The op-

after it has been freed from all dele

He Is, as 1t were. a sheaf OF expert.
ence clarified and tinctured till nothing
but the pure, fragrant altar remains.
1t is not impossible that he may have
been. In his younger days. so ill-con-
tanned as to rant himself hoarse as a

timists. whose soul. In his latter years
was as calm and translucent as one of

In his youth.
When one has been beneath the trip
hammer OF real affection. has felt the
hand OF calamity clutching 1T his
heart, the little everyday an
noyances seem TO him like the
tickling OF a straw welded
by liliputian. and the cries of pain
and disappointment that winnow the
air. as the tinkling babble OF toy lives.
Who shall say that the optimist has

The faith OF the optimist Is rs bound

comes almost prophet, for the knowl-
edge Of what ought 10 be. and the faith
that 1t will be brought 10 pass. A
Delphic oracle, or a seer OF Ercildoun

as the wind which Egypt's natives

NEW YORK, December p -Irish-Amer-
leans in this city have for years kEown OF
the relations between Mrs O'Shea and
Charles Stewart Psrnell.
Ia England IL is recognized as the only
great fault in the Irish leaders, life, and
five years ago came near causing . split in
the Irish paTty which would have placed
Biggsr, Healy. the RedmOnds, Davitt and
Justin Mccarthy in opposition to Parnell.
AT that period Parrell, in order to buy
Capt. O'Shea' q silence, insisted on nomi-
uaiing him 10 Parliament from one of the
Connaugbt Districts. Most Of Parneli's
lieutensnts were in open revolt for a week
but foslly, to avoid scandal, permitted
O'Sbea to be returned. When O'5hoa got
into Parliament he declined TO &C. with
the Home Rulers, and was not returned
when Gladstone promulgated the decree Of
dissolution. Since then II has been under
stood that Capt. O'Siea has been in the
receipt OF money from Parnell.
Mrs O'Shea Is q handsome woman of35,
well educated and OF good family. Her
relations with MIR. Parneli are said TO date
from 1880, when he first viaited Mayo and
Galway. He remained Is a guest in Capt.
O'Shea's house and made the place his
home when Capt. OShea was away.
Whenever P4rnell bas secluded himself for
weeks a. a time his intimate friends knew
he could be found at the house of Mrs.
0'Shes.
Both Parnell and Mrs. O'Shea have 81
ways denied that sny improper relations
existed, but il is well known that when
PArnell was urgently wanted in London
he he's been secluded in Mayo with Mrs
O'Shea. The latter alleges separation
from her husband on the ground Of bru-
taliiy. Mrs. O'Shea has never been in this
country, ard is known to hive been in
London but once. If Capt O'Shea should
get a divorce Parnell would probably
marry her.
