LONDON, Dec. 23.-Timothv Harrington
fastened, on his arrival at Queenstown, to
communicate with Mr.. Parnell and the
latter is said to be much encouraged by the
information which Mr.. Harrington has
brought from America. All day long the
Two parties have been busy electioneering
The priests, both those Of the Ossory do
cese and others from various parts of Ire
Ianc, spent the time outside of religious
services in pressing their views on the peo-
Pope Hennessey. Allusions, more or less
direct, were made from the pulpits to the
pending contest. ...-1s
Parnell EXPRESSED himself tonight as
confident of victory. Much apprehension
is felt for the effect that the defeat might
have upon his followers. Parnell was in
much better form than on the previous day
and evidently was determined not to dis
grace the close of the campaign by any
abusive language. He addressed the peo-
pie on their leaving church and made use
of language more persuasive and dignifed
than at any previous gathering during the
struggle. He reminded them Of his many
years of service and appealed to their sense
of gratitude not to set the seal of condemna-
ton on his life long work for ireland. The
people listened patiently, though the priests
protested against Mr.. Parnell turning Sun
day into day of political strife and argu-
ment and urged their focks to go home.
There was very little demonstration to-
day, and all seemed DESTROYS of putting on
their best behavior. The very absence of
rows to-day is, however, considered I'M
favorable to Parnell as showing that the
McCarthyites are gaining sufficient hold to
be able to restore discipline, and indica-
tons point to Hennessey's election. The
most intense interest is felt in London as to
the result. The Liberals believe from the
dispatches received to-day of which the
foregoing is a resume, that the priests have
done Tor Parnell and that he stands no
chance. On the other hand, betting men
who calculate to win are willing to back
Parnell at much lower odds than week
ago, but are not ready to bet even.
Monday will undoubtedly be an exciting
day both in London and Kilkenny. While
the official result will not be known until
Tuesday, it is thought that on Monday
night fair idea Of the result can be OBJ
tanned. The polls will be open until
O'Clock p. III.

Eve Against Eye.

From the st. Louis Globe Democrat.
'Rattlesnakes may charm birds, rab-
bits, and dogs, but they can't charm
cats" '~-'
The speaker was George Stearnes, a
farmer from Walker County, Ala, who
was telling snakes stories while waiting
for train at the depot. To prove his
assertion Stearnes related the following
incident:
He owns large black cat, which kills
every snake and lizard it can find. The
other day he saw the cat creeping
through the grass toward some kind of
prey, and watched it. A few feet away
he discovered large rattlesnake collcd
ready to strike, and its bead-like eyes
fixed on those of the cat. The head of
the snake was making the peculiar
swaying motion which is a part OF the
charm that brings birds and rabbits will
ing victims to the mouth of the hideous
reptile. Stearnes SAYS he saw at a
glance the snake was trying to charm
the cat, and, as he was not much at
tached to the feline, he stood still to-
await results With its body close to
the ground, and it's tail swaying back
and forth, the cat continued to creep
slowly forward. Its eyes were fixed on
those of the snake, as though the two
were testing their powers of mes
/ merlsm. Slowly and cautiously the cat
crept closer and closer to the coiled rep
tile, and it really seemed for awhile
that it had fallen victim to the charm
ing powers of the RATHER. When within
four feet of the snake the cat stopped,
placed its feet in position for spring,
and remained motionless for an instant.
The snake seemed surprised, and
changed its position slightly. This was
the opportunity the cat was waiting for:
Quick as lightning the feline leaped
and caught the snake by the neck with
teeth and claws, and after rolling over
and over for two minutes thes snake was
dead. The cat did not release its hold
until long after the snake ceased to
move, and then, as it walked away, would
occasionally look back to see if there was
any suspicious movement.
Stearnes says it was the most fasci-
mating sight he ever saw, the cat creep
ing up to the snake, which, no doubt,
thought it had secured a good dinner by
the charm of it's eve.

British Voters.
From the November Century

from the November century,
London's new government rests upon
a franchise so popular that practically
nobody who would care to vote is eX-
GUIDED In the first place, all house
holders are enfranchised, and this in
cludes every man who rents place for
his family, even if it be only small
room in the garnet or the cellar of a
tenement house. 1t also includes those
who live within fifteen miles Of the
metropolitan quarters, for any purpose,
worth certain very limited rental.
Owners of freehold property in London,
no matter where they live, if British
subjects, are entitled to vote. Widows
and unmarried women who are house
holders, occupiers or owners OF proper
tv, are also authorized to vote for county
councillors.
The principal basis of the franchise is
the household, and the chief disqualifi-
cations are receipt Of public aims and
failure to pay rents that have fallen due.
Any resident of the metropolis or vicin-
itv who is entitled to vote is eligible to
election. Furthermore, any British sub
iect who owns land in London, or who
is possessed of limited amount of
property, no matter where he lives,
may be chosen councillor of the coun-
ty of London. The fact of residence in
one district does not disqualify, either
in law or in the popular judgment, for
candidacy in another district.
