Laplanders OF the North GANG.

Both men and women were remarkably
Short seldom more than four fee: high, with
eyes wide apart and fat, expressionless faces.
They wore reindeer garments, With leather
boots IN to the knee and bright colored hats
in form of sou'westers on their tangled locks.
At our request the men called loudly to the
Lap-in-chief, who was waiting for summons
upon the hills, to bring down his herd Of rein
deer, and very soon the cries of the dog and
the rafting of the horns OF the deer were to
be heard, as the beautiful creatures answered
to the call of their master and bounded down
the hillside toward us. The patriarchal Lap,
after we had made few vain attempts at
exchanging eourtesies, signifled he expected
handsome donation for his trouble, and on
saying ''good-byn we noticed that the Nor
wegian sailors who accompanied us each gave
his coin in turn, it being considered unlucky
to part with Lap without offering some
small gift.-Temple Bar.

whether close fence or an open one, and
sometimes whether wooden fence, stone

anything to do with this perceptive power,
but the impressions are made on the skin of

A LiTTLE HAND.

Perhaps there are tenderer. sweeter things
Somewhere ID the sun bright land;
But thank the Lord for his blessings,
And the clasp of little hand
A little hand that softly stole
Into my own that day,
When / needed the touch that loved so much
To strengthen me on my way.
Softer it seemed than the sof6est down
On the breast of the gentlest dove;
But its timid press and its faint caress
We're strong in the strength of love.
1t seemed to say in a strange, sweet way:
II love you and understand"
And Gained my fears as my hot, heart tears
Fell over the little hand.

The Kilkenny Election May Reunite the
Irish National Party.
NEW York, Dec. 24.-Messrs. Dillon
and O'Connor, the two remaining Irish
ENJOYS on this side of the Atlantic, have
issued the following statement in refer
ence to the Kilkenny election:
1--WE learned the result of the Kill.
kenny election with great pleasure.
The majority is greater than we had
hoped for. 1t is vindication of the pa
triotism and sagacity of the constitu-
ency, because it shows that considera-
tion of the good of the country and the
safety of the cause have prevailed with
the electors over natural feelings of
gratitude and affection for great leader
like Mr.. Parnell, which have blinded so
many to the true issue at stake.
1.-THE result in Kilkenny, in our iudg-
ment, offers chance of reuniting our
party, and we earNastLs '"ne that both
sides will now cooperate with Mr..
O'Rrien in bringing about a reunion OF
the Irish National party"

With Delight.

Test-Davitt Makes Another Attack on

che New Newspaper Anxiety About
the Paris Conference.
LONDON, Dec. 4.-The Parnellites will
Ole petition for the setting aside of the
Kilkenny election, but there is much
doubt as to the success of their efforts in
chat direction.
The doubt as to the fate of the Parnell-
tie petition is not confined to the Parnell-
ties themselves, and the weight of opinion
is that it will fail. There seems to be nc
question that under the Reform bill Of
1857 the grounds on which the contest
influence of the clergy" is expressly
named in that act as one of the causes
upon which an election may be set aside.
"Undue influence" however, is an elastic
phrase, and a Conservative court may
take a different view of the evidence on
this point from that taken by Parnell-
tie layman.
Hennessy's election is hailed with de-
light by the Liberals, who profess to
believe that it means the political DEATH
knell of Parnell. Sir William Harcourt
said that he had no doubt that the Irish
party, under its new leadership, would
soon be working in complete harmony
with the Liberals, and that all the ground
lost during the recent Decentralization of
the Irish contingent would speedily be
recovered.
Everybody is now looking forward with
curiosity to the outcome of the Paris
conference. Arthur O'Connor is quoted
as saying that Mr.. Parnel still Yields an
influence not to be despised, and that, if
willing to listen to reason, he will find
his opponents also reasonable.

A RIOT OF WOMEN.

Violent demonstrations of the Female
Workers in Bologna's Arsenal.
Bologna was in an uproar a short
time ago in consequence of the violent
street demonstrations of the 10000
women employed in the arsenal there.
The government had just ordered g..
QUO, 900 cartridges, and in the midst OF
the resulting hurry and hustle several
women threw about explosives with the
greatest carelessness. A young woman
superintendent reported this, and
the careless women were discharged.
The superintendent had already
earned the hatred of the women under
her by her pretty face and popularity
with the Off GERS. The discharge of the
women she had reported for discipline
brought this hatred to q white heat,
and conspiracy was formed to lynch
her. The officers in charge of the arsenal
discovered the plot and gave the pretty
superintendent a guard of ten police
men, who watched over her night and
day. All the women in the arsenal
then went on a strike and marched up
and down the street5 shouting, curs-
ing, stoning every one they met and
usually bringing up before the pretty
superintendent's house. Whenever the
superintendent appeared in the street
the women were after her with clubs
and stones, and were fought back in
hand-to-hand tussles with her escort of
policemen. At night the women got
drunk and painted the town till the
last Bolognaite was aroused and brought
to his window with loud demands for
peace. The government finally listen
ed to these demands, and had the
streets kept clear at night by a COM
pany Of soldiers. Although most of the
women have since returned to work,
the plot against the fascinating super
intendent is still on, and she attends to
her duties, only under the guard of heI
ten policemen.-N. Y. Sun.

HIS LAST CRIMINAL CASE.
General Butler Announces In Court that
W. He VIII Retire

He VIII Retire.
BOSTON, Dec. 24-An interesting incl
dent in connection with the case of the
United States VS.. Carrie E. johnson, wal
the statement of General Butler, in the
course of his argument for the defence,
that this was the last criminal case he
would ever try.
The woman was charged with an at
tempt to defraud the Pension Office by
swearing that johnson, the deceased
soldier, was her first husband, ignoring a
marriage contracted many years ago to a
man named Stevens, who is now living
in Vermont and from who she had never
been divorced. The defence was that,
being but IA years old at the time, the
laws of Vermont rendered the marriage
ceremony void.
General Butler made the closing argu-
ment for the defence, and District-Attor-
ney All IN for the government, and both
gentlemen did themselves credit by their
able pleas. ss
It is somewhat a blow to learn that
the verdict given was that the woman
was guilty, and that the old hero b ad
lost his last criminal case.

Mr. Davitt adds that Mr.. Parnell is a

Ireland's liberty and honor as this new

show that it not only smokeless, but also
of a higher explosive power than the Or

to drive bullet into a pine board to a
