FoRciBLE NOT ELEGANT.
Cries Heard at the Meetings OF the
lrIsn Factions.

DUBLIN. December 14.-Mr. Parnell and
party today drove from Kilkenny to Tully-
rome. preceded by band and accompanied
by a large number OF vehicles filed with
their supporters. At Tullyrone Mr.. Parnell
addressed 500 persons. His speech was
brief, and mainly a repetition Of his utter
ances In previous speeches. 1t was delivered
amid running commentary Of cries such as
"Down with Judas Healy," ITO hell with
Hennesy," etc. From Tullyrone the party
drove to Freshford, where Mr.. Par
nell addressed meeting. referring
miserable gutter sparrows" whom he had
pushed out Of obscurity and given better
chance than he gave himself. After winning
10 Kilkenny, he said he would go to every
quarter of Ireland and ask the support of
the people. Here gathering OF his OppO-
nents interrupted Parnell with shouts Of
"To hell with the adulterer." A fight would
have followed but for the police. Mr.. Par
nell closed his days work with an address
at UrlingfOrd.
The anti-Parnell faction held meeting to-
day at Tipperary, at which about 1000 were
present kilograms were read from Healy
and Saxton apologiziDg for not attending the
meeting, on the ground that their presence
was required elsewhere. Canon Cahill's tax

fifty Parnellites TO start cheering for their
leader. This was responded to by anti
Parnell men and the cheering was kept up

Colby University.

For some time stories have been circulat-
ing about the college that harmony did not
dwell in the council of the Sigma Kappa So
ciety, and the fact that they had noe held
their annual initiation has given ground for
various conjectures, but one Of the young
ladies has denied all stories of disagree
ment. and said that initiation had been de-
layed because their constitution did not pro-
vide for such large freshman class.
Sigma Kappa was organized at Colby in
1874 and it seems that its active membership
was limited by the constitution. 1t has also
been the policy of the society to embrace ali
lady members Of the college. The large en-
tering class OF this year makes this latter i'm
possible and at the same time keep within
their Limitation.
A novel scheme has been adopted and
which, we think, Is an innovation In college
societies, In New England at least, and the
ladies are to DO congratulated on their inge-
nuity in solving their difficulty. IL Is pro-
posed TO initiate the ladies of '94 into the old
society and then divide the whole society IN,
20 two chapters to be known as Alpha and
Bata Chapters OF Sigma Kappa society Ihe
two chapters are TO have separate meetings
aud are to be conn scted only as individual
members of one grand sisterhood. 1t Will be
seen by this plan that the growth OF the So
ciety is only limited by the growth Of the
college and that 1t is possible To have large
chapter roll in one college. Recently the
following ladies were initiated: Sadie L.
Brown, Jessie NJ. Bunker, Mary l.. Csrle-
ton, Frances Ii. Clutter, Lily NJ. Hazleton,
Kate w. hobbs, Clara FL. Jones, Frances &. /.

"The Mission of Nations"

After warm tribute to the character and
services of the late Mr.. Elwell, Of the
Transcript, DIR. Dalton passed In review the
evident mission to mankind Of such races rs
the Greek, Roman and Jewish. Equally
clear, he said, Is our indebtedness to Italy.
France. England and Germany. Italy in
herited the choicest fruits Of the anclents,
and transmitted them to the northern ma
tions Of Europe with much Of her own In
vention. France and Germany have ad-
vanced still farther. aud England farthest of
all in political leadership, and the grand
mission of clvilizing the weaker races. Our
Institutions are essentially English, with
American notifications and improvements.
The solidarity of nations is now generally
recognized.
II the survey of the relations of nations
taken last Saturday seemed somewhat pessi
mistic, an optimistic view Is equally plausi-
Bile and even probable, not only In thought,
but as to the event.
To begin with China. THE Chinese are the
most industrious and persevering of the
Oriental races, and will gradually rise In the
scale of comparative influence. Russia has
a mission in relation to them as their nearest
and greatest neighbor. A part Of her policy
will be to keep these Celestials under her
surveillance and in leading strings. ss Eng
land does India. Germany, In her turn, will
restrain Russia. while England. France and
Italy will lead Europe in the maintenance Of
liberal political principles.
Wealth will not only increase. but be more
equally distributed, and popular education
become general. Above all others, the
United States will grow in numbers, wealth
and the elevation Of the entire people. The
strong races will more ana more regard the
weak as their ward. whose welfare they are
to provide for. More regard will be paid TO
the laws Of health. still more TO that knOwl-
edge which Is power, ana we may hepe,
more yet, to that righteousness which ex-
alteth a nation" In no previous age has
there been such general recognition Of the
rights Of all classes and conditions to the
pursuit, and, If possible, the possession Of
happiness. The idea that mo man llveth to
himself Is accepted aud extended TO ma
tiOns as well. How to promote the general
welfare, abolish abuses and secure the high
est good to the greatest number, these are
the problems Of our day, and will continue
to be discussed till satisfactory solution Is
found.
Tie contention is, said the lecturer, that ii
Is not the province of civil government either
to sustain or to suppress any form OF relig-
ion which is not evidently inlmical to good
morals. Proofs of harm to both church and
state, inflicted by an alliance or antagonism
of the two are abundant.
Equally impracLicable are the sociallstic
theories which require state control of all
properties and industries. Experience alone
can determine how far legislation can re
strain the evils and control the conflicting
forces OF civil society.
The above is an outline merely of the lee
ture. A large audience was present, as usu-
al, who have listened to the course with EVIL
dent appreciation.

Although considered by his COLLEAGUES in
the Senate genial and approachable man,
Senator Hampton still has the reputation of
inheriting the arstocratic sympathies of his
grandfather and father. There is a piece Of
impertinent gossip that he has never willing
ly consented to the marriage of any of his
sisters or daughters because he could not be
persuaded that there were in South Carolina
or anywhere else suitors good enough for
them. Whether it is true or not does not
concern his contemporaries but many of
them will find it very easy to believe the
story.
1t may be believed easily that many good
people in South Carolina are firmly per-
suaded that the foundations of society are
overturned when Wade Hampton has to
stand aside for man whose ancestors are
not so well known as the fact that he him
self belongs to the Farmers Alliance.
