Mr.. Thomas p. Gill, M. p, who has just
arrived in this country, afirms that Ireland's
condition has not been in the least exagger-
ated. He says he has personally visited the
scenes of misery and knows the facts. The
potato blight affects chiefly the western.
northwestern and southwestern sections of
the island. Mr.. Gill does not want money
simply to relieve the distress occasioned by
the short crops. he wants enough to do that
and also to continue the fight against Eng
llsh oppression. He is awaiting the arrival
of 0'Brion and Dillon before proceeding to
present the facts to the American people.

The New York policemen have not yet
completed the census of that city, but they
have reached already an enumeration con-
siderably in excess of he.national census Of
the whole city. A very large part of the in
crease is due, no doubt, to the fact that when
the national census was taken it was warm
weather and large number OF people had
left town for the country. Those people have
now got ba k. In city as hot and populous
as New York the number Of people who go
cut of town on the approach of hot weather
is of course large The discrepancy between
the two counts do not, therefore, indicate
necessarily that the national count was Sc
rously defective.

Tammany has renominated Hugh j. Grant
for Mayor. Grant is typical Tammany boy.
His father was rumseller, and he himself
owns large number of liquor properties
from which be derives a comfortable reve.
nue.. Outside Of politics he has had no bust
ness. His education Is very defe tive, aud
If LIE were obliged to rely upon himself to
write the messages which fall to the Mayor
by reason of his Office they would not be
written, because of his inability. But as a
politician he has been success. He has a
big pull by reason of his liquor interests
and besides he can make himself very agree
able to the 'boys" when he is so disposed.
Nobody would ever think of selecting him
for mayor because of any fitness for the Of
fee, since he has none. But fitness is the
last thing thought of by Tammany in select
ing candidates. The first thing is the will
iugness to do as Tammany wants them to
Ia that direction Grant has proved all thai
Tammany could desire, and for that reason

The Democratic candidate for Governor of
Massachusetts has abandoned the national
issues. and is relying on the cry of "Turn
down the lobby" to elect him. As that
means the turning down Of as many Demo-
Gratis as Republicans it is difficult to under
stand how the Republicans can be turned
out on that issue. The legislature happens
to be Republican; but no one supposes that
a Democratic legislature would be more Writ
nous. J IL only way to combat the lobby
success iujly is to send men of higher charac-
ter and greater experience to the legislatures,
and this is difficult to do when the work is so
exacting and the pay SO small This cannot
be done in Massachusetts or in any other
New England State by substituting Demo-
Gratis for Republicans.

When he was stationed in Canada Lord
Wolseiey spent a holiday in the interior,
where be and his attendants built wigwam
and enjoyed the peaceful solitude of nature.
He had not seen an Indian chief, and his
knowledge of the individual was derived
chiefly from the perusal Of the works of
Fenimore Cooper. He bad a desire to see the
real article, and some friends of his living
twenty miles away promised to send along
the first Indian chief they ret.
One morning Lord Wolseley was informed
that a uobleman of the west had arrived.
With his mind full of the conventional pict-
Ure of the high souled, noble minded red
man, he went out and found = gentleman
clothed in an out-of-date dress suit and waist
coat, who, having had a great deal to do
with the Hudson bay traders. knew fair
smattering of French and Of English. He
talked necessarily for upward Of an hour.
and st the expiration of that time the gen
eral became bored. Feeling in his pocket for
q coin, he produced two shilling piece. and
with some fear that he was grossly insulting
his guest, offered IL % him. The noble Indian

Hawks and Trains.

The promptness with which birds take adj
vantage of the various appliances of modern
civilization is a strong argument in favor of
the doctrine that animal intelligence is not
different from human intelligence in kind, but
only in degree.
According to one Of our exchanges, an en-
CINE driver on a Scotch railway has noticed
that hawks of the merlin, or "stone falcon, "
species make regular use of the passing of
trains.
They fly close behind the train, near the
ground, partly hidden by the smoke. As the
cars thunder along through the fields and
meadows small birds fly up in clouds, and
while they are bewildered and preoccupied,
the merlin dashes among them out of the
smoke and easily secures its prey.
Should it be unsuccessful it returns to the
wake of the train, and awaits the startling of
another bevy. The engineer afEirms that the
hawk has no difficulty in keeping up with the
swiftest express trains.-Y Companion.

Getting Tn Early,

Most of the talk about early rising is moon.
shine The habit of turning out of bed in
the middle of the night suits some peoples
let them enjoy it. But it is only folly tc
lay down "a general rule upon the subject
Some men are fit for nothing all day after
they have risen early every morning. Their
energies are deadened, their imaginations arc
heavy, their spirits are depressed.
1t is said you work so well in the morn
ing. Some people can, but others can work
best al night; others again, in the afternoon.
Long trial and experiment form the only
conclusive tests upon these points. School
boys and young people generally ought to
get up early, for it is found that nine-tenths
of them can stand it, aud it does them good.
But let no one torture himself with the
thought that he could have been twice as
good a man as he is if be had risen every
morning at daylight. The habit would kill
half of US in less than five years.--Domestic

CONGRESSMAN BOUTELLE sea at an early are
He must have liked it, for he chose a sea voy-
age instead of entering college, as his friends
desired. In 1862 he entered the United States
navy and took part in many a hard fight
While an officer on the Sassacls he was pro
NOTED to a lieutenantcv for gallant conduct
in the engagement with the rebel ironclad
Albemarie May 3, 1854" He afterwards
won still higher distinction and remained in
the service till 1866.
After some years in business and as editor
of The Bangor Whis and Courier, he was
elected to congress in 1880, and has been re-
elected biernially since. One of his colleagues
has jocularly said that Mr.. B0utelle on his
entrance into congress looked around for
"some big job TO tackle, ard thereby win
fame, and found it in the navy. 1t certainly
was big job, nor Is it vet certain that Mr.
Boutelle's attack on Secretary Whitney's
methods resulted in any gain.
A very curious episode in Mr. Boutelle's
political career was that at the Chicago con-
vention Of 1888, when, as one of the Maine
delegation, he received a dispatch from Mr.
Blaine, in Scotland, peremptoriIy forbidding
any further use of his name as q candidate
for the nomination for the presidency.
The ordinary politician would have laid
the dispatch before the Maine delegation at
once, but Mr. Boutelle was altogether toe
cautious for that. He first proceeded to
prove that it was not a forgery-for there
have been forgeries at critical periods in
American poitics-by cabling Mr. Blaine for
q verifcation. Meantime, however, the lat
ter had left Edinburgh for Linlithgow, and
much time was consumed in finding him
time enough for Blaines friends TO get in
some fine work. with the Indiana and Cali.

and his military experience gives him the right
to speak with some euthority-it is necessary
to maintain all the machinery of a complete
