MT. Parnoll Delivers Two Speeches

MT. Parnoll Delivers Two speeches
 Yesterday as Nottingham.
 LONDON, Dec. 17.-Mr. Parnell addressed large meeting this afternoon at Noting ham. He declared that there never had been movement of such magnitude to the coun- try which was so comparatively free from crime as the Land League movement. The object of the home rule, movement, he said, was to Iegenerate Ireland, especially with re- gard to her industrial condition.
 Irishmen themselves must promote Irish industries, by building harbors, clearing out the channels of rivers and retaining waste lands; not at the expense of the English ex chequer, but of the Irish sxchequer, or best of all. through the effects of local and individual enterprise and with private capital. Nr. Balfour's plan of making railways through impoverished districts was vain expenditure of money. and this implies the regeneration of the industries and the industrial and commercial spirit of the people. If home,ruls was granted 1t would not discourage the rlch people of England from promoting industrial devel- opements, but the money would be judicious- ly and advantageously employed instead of being wasted as now to maintain in power | 8 government of fraud and trickery. Expenditure of that sort would enable Ire- land to get and to keep her head above water and 50 exercise and develop the qualities of her people that she would be no longer an 1 exhibition for the wonder and scorn of the nations of the earth. (Cheers) Briefly re- ferring to the Parnsll commission, the speaker said that he believed the judgas' re. port would not discredit the national move ment.
 MT. Parnell devoted the speech he made tonight to the tenants league. He said this was by far the greatest and most powerful movement ever organized in Ireland or any other country. Although Ireland was tram quill she was not appeased. She did not sub. nit. On the contrary the peoples dislike of the government was tenfold more intense fol the experiences of three years of coercion But the country, though it did not yield, ,wae tranquil because of the faith 1t had in ths assurances of Mir. Gladstone that triumph. ant Liberal party would soon give 1t its legit innate freedom.
 MT. Parnell upon the conclusion of hi
 engagements at Nottingham will visit Mir Gladstone at Hawarden.

The Dog Called the Servant.

The possession of an Intelligent dog
in the family may be a very useful
means out of emergencies. Not long
ago some members of family return
ing from an evening entertainment
were unable to gain an entrance to
their house. The key had been for
gotten and the servants were evidently
asleep. Ringing the door bell produced
no response. The only sound indoors
was that of the dogs tail gently thump-
ing against the rug, but after time
that ceased. The dog had recognized
his friends and refused to bark. When
all efforts to enter seemed fruitless the
door was opened by sleepy servant.
accompanied by a very wide-awake
dog. 1t seemed that this friend of the
family had made his way to the serv-
ants room and had gently awakened
her to a realization of the situation.
AS he had never been permitted to
enter the room before, it is evident
that his sense of the needs of the occa-
sion had shown him that he should not
wait for a ceremonious invitation

Lack Of Courtesy to Wives.

A Western woman, talking of the
lack of courtesy on the part of hus-
bands to their wives, says: when I
think I have a hard time, I just think
of the women who have no servants,
but who themselves care for the
children, wash, iron, cook, mend,
churn, milk, carry wood and water,
all for less than an Irish servant girls
wages. OF course men appreciate
their wives, of course they do, but
they keep their polite manners and
courteous ways for-other mems wives.
Cine time James thanked me for saving
him room beside me at the concert,
and then sort of apologized for being
polite, by saying he thought it was my
sister Mary y .@.#.

ZEPHANIAH EZEKIEL.
His Lengthy and Futile Attempt to
Escape Punishment.

It was eleven o'clock on a forenoon
when our grand[athers were young.
The scholars in Aunt Sally Wood
bridges long dining-room knew it was
eleven, because every day at that hour
the tin baker went down upon the
kitchen hearth with a bang, and the
cofee-mill, nailed to one side of a win
dow-casing, was heard sending forth
its periodical clatter.
In those days not only did the mas.
ter Of the district school board round"
but the school likewise accompanied
the master in his peregrinations from
house to house, in each of which a
room and n few chairs, settles or boxes
ton.
The long, old-fashioned dining-room
OF the Woodbridge domicile was at
present given up during a few hours
of each d;.y to this excellent use. But
no sooner had the masters stout ferule
raped smartly On his little green
table at twelve o'clock, than trans
formation scene took. place in the in
terest of hungry Woodbridges.
/ am an hour ahead of my story,
however, and must go back. The
bang of the tin baker had just been
heard, and Aunt Sally's hand had now
grasped the handle of the coffee-mill
with it's usual vigorous touch, when
Zephaniah Ezekiel Trask, a youth who
frequently varied the monotony of
school life by efforts to amuse him
self, slyly SHE'D a small wad Of paper,
with the evident intention of lodging
it in the open mouth of a member of
the arithmetic class, who was deeply
absorbed in the interesting process of
subtracting one-half from seven
eightls.
Unlucky shot! The paper pellet
went wide OF its mark, and glancing
from the forehead of it's intended
victim, struck the nose of the dignifed
but pcppery master!
Tho whole school saw it, some with
carefully-concealed glee, and others
with unbounded amazement; as if the
whole fabric Of Learning had been
menaced. On the face of one small
boy was such O. mingled look of fear,
Consideration and despair that his de-
lection was an easy matter, although
the mastsr was somewhat advanced in
years, and wore huge goggles over his
eyes.
"Zephaniah Ezekiel" roared the
master, 'take off your jacket and
come here" 49,. 49,.

THE TARAN1ELLA.
An Ancient and Picturesque Dance Origi-
mated by the Greeks.

An Ancient and Picturesque Dance Origi-
mated by tine Greeks.
In the lower part of the Hotel
Tramontano, at Sorrento, is a room
where, whenever the proprietor calls
for them, a number of Sorrentino men
and women come in their picturesque
costumes, and to the sound of pipe,

cient lute), castagnettes, etc, foot
most prettily and vivaciously this curt
Gus dance, which has come down from
the old Greek days.
Pliny the Elder wrote of il. and de-
scribed it most fully. In his day it
was called tine dance of Gades''
(Cadiz), because it had been brought
to great perfection in that city on the:
Atlantic; but he says it was imported
into Gades by the Greeks, who, YOU
remember, had large settlements
around the whole of the Mediterranean
shores, and far up the Atlantic coast
in Hispania and Lusitania- The

the '.fandango," and so it is in P ortu-,
gal, in Brazil, and in all Spanish;
Am erica. Curiously enough, the first
time that I ever heard fandango airs
played was on summer night in the
Plaza of Cadtz. But in no part of
Spain or Portugal, or Latin America,
will you see the fandango, or taran-
tella danced a. in Sorrento. 1t is
there in its perfection, and it is not
merely dancing that you have, but
they also sing the popular Neapolitan
airs, for the dancers are singers, as
many of your readers will testify who
heard them at the Italian Exhibition
in London last year. One of them-a
falegname "a carpenter)-played most
exquisitely on the mandoline. I think
that never heard the air III Pesca-

sweetly and touchingly rendered than

Neapolitano. is, as I was informed by
the head waiter of the Tramontano, a
hair-dresser of Sorrento local ''bar-

or, Antonio, is also good composer
OF music; the little young fellow, who
danced so capriolacally-to coin a.
worlds an olive-wOod cutter, and the
other male members of the corps are
mechanics in various callings; while
the women dancers or silk weavers, or,
as married, keepers of their own
houses. The tallest woman, and one
OF the most graceful of the dancers, is
the wife OF the little mandolinist.

Instrumentation mentioned, they are
accompanied by small but very fair
orchestra. No one who goes to Sor-

and all are supposed to contribute at
least two francs each.-Paris Cor

Needs but little song. you say;

Think you u breath will serve to sing
The little dimpled dainty thing!
If every apple bloom took heart,
And to the music lent Il part,

Should tremble into melody
With summer wind and meadow rill,
And birds should twitter, pipe and trill,
Yet when the evening shadows fell,
There would be more than half to tell.
A little song! My love would reach
The sweetest words OF English speech,
And finding every one amiss,
Blend all sweet words in one warm kiss.
Sometimes with heavy heart 7 go
About my household tasks, and slow
Tears hurt my eyes. Ah, then I creep
Where little Peggy lies asleep;
The white sweet blossom of her hand
kiss as there in tears stand.
Tell me the secret Of that power
That sends me singing tor an hour.
The meaning Of that mystery.
I sing the baby's hand; and yet
surely never would forget

The tiny, rounded, fragrant chm?
And underneath the chin-ah! there
Lie kisses all unseen as air.
Yet there I know they are, as true
AS they in clouds like white moth flew.
Ah, Peggy Sunshine, dear thou art,
Best of the treasures OF my heart.
The patter OF thy little feet
I know not from my own heart beat.
All, baby dear, if this be true,
That all the love have for you
Is but a hint whereby guess
AT Gods unmeasured tenderness.
Then every soul of every race,
Guided by Love, will find Loves place.

But it's the haby's hand sing.
On, little song! Upon the wing
OF rhyme and music flutter fast,
For now the day is nearly past;
And know st thou not ut set of sun
Thy little singing must be done:
For then begins the song that seems
To lure her to her nappiest dreams
A drOWsy measure, soft and slow,
OF little waves that come and go;
A merry measure, low and light,
OF "lammies" tinkllng home at night.
All, oft I've sung in tender tone,
Her little hand within my own,
While her white eyelds softly sank
Like white lambs on a violet bank.
Alas! the evening chimes are rung;
Her little hand is half unsung.
You sigh; you think the little song
By many word and note too long
Poor dull of heart! what woula you do

the Infatuated trainer of young ideas

With nervous haste he transferred a
large pile of it to the fire. place, and
soon had a dense smoke rolling up the
chimney, to the horror and amaz :

grimly shouted the master, as he threw
piece after piece of the bark upon the
writhing mass already lighted. No
boots appeared, however. The smoke
grew denser and denser, and still there
came no sound from the chimney.
Zephaniah Ezekiel had not been idle.
Finding that he could go up one step,
there was suggested the idea of con-
tinuing on to the top of the chimney,
a feat easy of accomplishment in one
of those enormous, old-fashioned stone
structures. Crawling carefully up from
one projecting stone to another, now
lifting himself with his hands and now
with his feet, his head at last emerged
into the open air at the very instant

was low, and sloped gradually down
