Tho irish Rack Rents.

The trouble about the Irish rent ques-
ton is that the Irish people generally
consider rent contract as having no
moral obligation. The truth has been
handed down from generation to gen.
GRAFTON that their ancestors were wrong
fully dispossessed Of their lands, and
that the title of the large landlords,
while legally perfect enough, is in its
last analysis based upon robbery. The
rent is therefore considered not so much
a pecuniary burden as a patriotic griev-
ance.
With our forefathers it was not the
price of the tea, but the principle of the
tea tax, that led to the revolution, and
in like manner, as the Irishman looks at
it, the rent is not SO much d financial as
a political question, though when the
crops fail payment of the rent is an i'm
possibility. To the extent Of considering
it political question the English gov
ernment agrees with him, and hence the
recent arrests. If pounds and pence
only were involved it would have left
the landlord to take care of himself

No New Coins for the Present.

Superintendent Bosbyshell, of the
mint, received from Washington a COM
munication from E. O. Leech, director
of the mint, conveying the disappointing
intelligence that the department. at
Washington would not take any action
until next summer in regard to provid-
ing new designs for coins, under the bill
recently passed by congress. Director
Leech explains that he is so busily en-
gagged in the preparation Of the report of
his department and the secretary of the
treaslfry's time will be SO much occupied
for some months that the matter of
changing the models and designs of coins
cannot be taken up until late in the
spring.
Since the bill became law Superin-
tendent Bosbyshell has been in receipt
daily of letters from persons anxious to
enter into the competition, showing a
widespread interest in the subject. As
it was hoped to change the five cent
nickel piece and get rid Of the buzzard
dollar as quickly as practicable, the de-
lay will be received with universal re-
gret.-Philadelphia Inquirer.

Coachman Williams. ruct.

Coachman John Williams, who guards
the horsefesh of E. G. Howe, of Bristol
is in luck. He has just returned from a
trip to California, where his uncle died
recently, leaving large estate. The in
terest on $7,5O0,00 was bequeathed to
John and his brother William, who lives
at Blackburn, N. Y. The wealthy de-
cedent, Theodore Luderick, immigrated
to America from Metz, Germany, in
1S49, during the gold excitement in Cali
fornia, and he went to that state with
only enough money to pay his fare. He
got into the mining business and pros
pered. In 1876 he was worth SIC, 900, ,00C,
but during the panic in 1877 he lost
heavily. Before his death he left sew
eral millions to charitable institutions in
his country. Philadelphia Record.

In the Clouds.


Professor Moller, of Carlsruhe, has
made some interesting observations on
clouds. The highest clouds, cirrus and
cirro-stratus, rise on an average to a
height of nearly 10000 feet. The mid
die clouds keep at from 10000 feet to
$4,000 feet in height, while the lower
clouds reach to between 5000 feet and
1000 feet. The cumulus clouds float
with their lower surface at height of
from 1000 to 5000 feet, while their
SUBMITS rise to 10000 feet. The tops of
the Alps are often hidden by clouds of
the third class. but the bottoms of the
clouds of the second class, and espe
cially of the thunder clouds, often enfold
them
The vertical dimension of cloud OBJ
served by Professor Moller on the Netle-
berg was over 1900 feet. He stepped
out of it at height of about 3,70O feet,
and high above the mountain foated
clouds of the middle class, while wells of
mist lay in the ravines and clefts. The
upper clouds were growing thicker.
while the lower ones were dissolving.
and soon it began to rain and snow

Discord in the Choir.

Drilling volunteer choir is the most
exasperating work ever undertaken by
a human being. In the first place it is
morally certain that at least half dozen
members think they know more than
the leader, and two or three are al
ways better informed than the man who
wrote the music, so they offer, with
cheerful alacrity, the most idiotic sug-
gestions as to the manner in which it
should be performed, and feel much ag-
grieved if their ideas are not acted on.
Then the women are always either
30 devoted to each other that they keep
up constant chatter when they should
be singing or listening to the leaders di-
rection, or are quarreling and "put each
other out"
They are not responsible for all the
trouble, but when they do quarrel they
generally manage to enlist the men in
the service of both sides, and the first

choir has quit and the other half is about
to do so because they are not numerous

A Smart Detective.

Sergeant Moser on one occasion saw a
waiter in cafe at Soho receive and
place in his pocket letter which the de-
tective believed to be from a criminal a
knowledge Of whose whereabouts he was
anxious to obtain. He therefore drop
ped his ring on the floor and asked the
man to look for it. Alphonse, expecting
a reward, Immediately went on his
hands and knees, ard while thus en-
gagged Sergeant Moser distracted the let
ter from his pocket and thus obtained
the means of bringing forger to JUS
tice. Who can doubt that this was a
perfectly justifable act? Butt instead,
Sergeant Moser had suborned another
person to steal for reward, and without
telling him the object in view, he would
most assuredly have acted very wrongly.

Didn't Want a Pension.

John Parkhill, of Portland, who has
made himself famous as being the only
man in the United States who did not
want pension, passed through Astoria
on his way to San Francisco to the vol
unteer fremen's reunion. Mr.. Parkhill,
who is over 90 years of. age, served
through the Seminole war in Florida in
1888, and also in the Mexican war.
He was one of the handful of from
tiersmen who raised a company to fight
the Mexicans before the United States
took the matter in hand, and afterward
served all through the war. He refused
to enter the War Of the Rebellion be-
cause he thought it was too much like
fighting brothers.
For years pension agents have made
life burden to him in their endeavors
to secure pension for him. He fought
them manfully for a long time, as he
said he was able to make his living.
Finally the papers came and with them
his back pension, and it has been COM
ing ever since, actually forced on him
against his will.-Astoria (Ore.) Colum-

Courted @,ine Girls at Once.

AtLowell William Anderson, who was
arrested on suspicion of larceny, is quite
a character. In his possession was found
a memorandum book, recording the fact
that he was counting nine girls. For
convenience sake he had them numbered
from one to nine inclusive, and when he
had occasion to refer to them in the
memorandum it was by number.
One entry is the fact that No. became
aware that he was escorting No. 6 to
places Of amusement. His description
of No. Z would make her tear her hair if
she read it. While travelling Anderson
recorded that he had letters from eight
of the girls in one day. Anderson claims
a residence in Portland, Me-, and was at
one time polo player.-Cor. Boston

The Alumni to Hold Dedicatory Ex-
cruises.
For some time past the alumni OF f1cthe
high school have been making prepara-
tions for the dedication OF the new high
school building with appropriate cere-
monies. The building will be ready for
occupancy, it is expected, on about the
Oath OF the present month, and the
Alumni society will conduct public ex-
ercises, dedicating the building, few
days before it is taken possession of for
school purposes. An excellent pro-
gramme has been prepared, consisting
of musical and elocutionary selections,
interspersed between addresses by we'll
known educators of the city and others
connected with the public schools. The
alumni have been greatly aided by the
city board of education in preparing for
this entertainment. The society of
graduates is now we'll reorganized, hav-
ing held weekly meetings for over a
month past, and the prospect of having
the high school in house of its own,
has awakened lively interest on the
part of the alumni. The final meeting
of the society before the celebration will
be held tomorrow evening in the board
of education rooms of the city hall. The
programme will soon be made public.
