Honey Dew.

Honey dew is viscid, saccharine matter which exudes from the stems and leaves of plants, both trees and her. baceous plants. Its presence is usually, not always, ascribed to the aphides and other insects which feed on the juices of plants, puncturing them to extract their sap. Dry, warm weather seems to be necessary for the production n the sap of that superabundance of sugar which is thus thrown off. Honey dew is often so abundant as to fall in drops from one leaf to another, sometimes even falling from trees in a copious shower. Orange and lemon groves ire. quently suffer great injury from honey dew, since, drying on the leaves, i' coats them with film of clammy sub stance, to which everything brought by the atmosphere adheres, clogging the pores of the plant. The coffee planta- tions of Ceylon have in this manne, oftentimes been nearly ruined for sea sons bearing.

Died Aged 110 Years.

Miss Fannie Dcweesc who died at Louisville, ky.,at the age of nearlyl 1G years, was most remarkable woman, and her history is ron dered more interesting from the fact that her husband lived tJ be 103 years old. There is no doubt about the correctness of these fig. ures for they have been amply authenticated by family records and other evidence.
 Mrs. Deweese was born in Virginia in Aug, 1773. Just before her husband died they celebrated the eighty third anniversary of their marriage Shortly after their marriage in Virginia they came to Kentucky. and she had lived for nearly century on a farm in this country eighteen miles from Louisville. They prospercd there, and Mrs. Dewcese leaves a considerable estate. She had eight or ten sons and daughters, and great great grand childred were present at her funeral Three maiden daughters are living on the old place. One of them is 90 years old.
 Mrs. Deweesc, although a Virginian. never claimed to have seen George Washington, and all she remembered of the Revolutionary war was the return here, at it's close of her father, who had been u soldier in it.

Two men who were standing in the entrance were blown across the street, but escaped without serious injury. The cause of the ex- plosion is said to have been the lighting oi a match in the basement, where gas purify. ing machine, preparatory to it's removal, had been disconnected from the service pipes, which had been left.unplugged. It is supposed that one of the men now in the hospital lighted the match. The damage to the hotel building is estimated at $3,000. The hotel had not been open for business for several weeks

THE pARNEI.L COMMISSION.
Views Gen. Harrison Expressed
 Last Year On the Irish Question.

At the meeting of the Pnrncll Commission the first witness was Mir Arthur OConnor. member of Parliament. Ile testified thnt while he was in Indianapolis lust year Gen. Harrison, now President of the United St ntes, said that every honest man and lover of lib- erty would rather share the company of MT. William 0'Bren in Tullumore jnil than that of the Viceroy in Dublin Castle. Mir. OCon- nor said that when he took office in the l.enguc ho found mnny of the books frag- mcntary and in arrear. It wns impossible to do anything with them. He did not know whether the books which the Government seized during the administration of Chief Secretary Foster had been destroyed.
 Presiding Judge Hunnon ordered that in quiries bc made about these books.
 Mir. OConnor repcllcd as culumny the suggestion that the tenants had understood as hint to murder or use violence upon them. He admitted saying that it was not unnatural that a man who saw his family flung into the roadside should shoot the evictor.
 MT. Justin Mccarthy, member of Pnrlia- mcnt, was the next witness. He testified to the horror and dismay which the Phoenix Park murders had caused among the Par. nelltes.
 George Lewis, Mir Paruelrs solicitor, was examined with reference to the missing books. He snid he hud no knowledge of any books except those of the English branch of the Lengue, which were produced in court. He had not applied for the return of cancelled checks or bank pnssbooks.

Administration.

An Effect of the Cronin Case on the
Administration.
WASHINGTON, June 12.-"No Irish need
apply" seems likely to be the next announce
ment Of this administrator. Secret society
Irishmen will at least do well TO bring the
secret history Of their lives with them, IL
they desire acceptance here The revela-
tions at the Cronin inquest have kept Secre-
tary Blaine and President Harrison in q
cold perspiretion, lest Patrick Egan should
be implicated. He has not been recalled,
and probably will not be, but If he had not
been appointed he could not now. No more
can his friends, John f. Finerty, candi-
date for sub-treasurer at Chicago; Aus
tin Ford, son of Patrick Ford, candidate
for surveyor at New York, and Maroney,
whose name appears so frequently in the
Cronin inquest proceedings, and who was
candidate for inspector in the New York Gus
tom house. They may be all right, but the
administration does not propose to take any
more risks. Warm words have already, it
is stated, passed between the President and
Secretary Blaine about "the bad blunder'
of Mr.. Egan's appointment. Secretary
Blaine has been warned to be more careful
in future recommendations.
