An Interrlew wlth Parne1I.

NEW YoRK, Dec 10-The World pub
fishes an interview with Mr. Parnell, in
which he critises Gladstone for his hardness
in taking action after the verdict Of the
divorce court He says he did not know Of
Gladstone's letter to Morley until after his
reelection Five days before the verdict
he had seen Morley who apparently knew
what the result would be, but Morley asked
him no questions. Mr.. Parnell said that
he had all along determined to do nothing
in the divorce proceedings, for the reason
that he thought defense was solely the
province Of Mrs. O'Shea. He was willing to
90 into the witness box, but when she con
clnded to make no defense he could not
take any action.
The Duty of Irish-Americans.
He denied that he had ever authorized
Michael Dayitt or any one else to say that
he would clear away the charges at the
trial
What do you consider is the duty of
Irishmen in America in this crisisS" Mr..
Parnell was asked.
Il consider" said Mr. Parnell earnestly,
"that it is the duty OF Irishmen in America
at this crisis to assist me in maintaining
the integrity and independence Of the
Irish pnrty. That integrity could not and
would not have been impaired by any mere
alliance with the Liberal party, but mat
ters for some months past have progressed
further than mere alliance.
Something approaching to a fusion has
been and is now taking place. This is

PATERSON, N. j., Dec. i0.-The liabilities
OF Messrs Nightingale Bros q Knight,
silk manufacturers Of this place, who
made an assignment to Judge Barkalow,
are now stated to be not less than Sl00,-
0O0, and their assets, II Is believed, amount
TO only about half that sum. The cred
itors are chiefly the firm Of j. 4. Walker,
Sons a. Co., Of New York, who went un-
der last month, and the National Broad
way bank. About two weeks ago the firm
called q meeting Of their creditors aud Of
fered settlement upon basis Of lfty
cents on the dollar but this was declined
and the assignment followed. The wind
up is the elimination OF difficulties under
which Nightingale Bros have labored for
the last seven or eight years.

would have involved my retirement had
Mr.. Gladstone given the assurance the Irish
party required, but these assurances were
not given, and my persecution by our party

The right at Kilkenny.

Mr.. Parnell will take personal part in
the canvass of North Kilkenny during the
coming campaign for the election Of a
member Of parliament. He is much cut
up by the decision of Sir John Pope Hen
messy to stand as an anti Parnellte can
didate, especially as 1t was Mr.. Parnell
who brought him forward as a candidate
for the vacant seat. 1t is probable that
the fight at Kilkenny will be a sort Of text
for all the future fights in the various
Irish constituencies, and for this reason
both sides will prepare with great care
this initial presentation Of their respective
cases to the people The feeling in the
district is at fever heat, and a more fully
representative locality for the first appeal
to the Irish people could hardly have
chanced to offer itself.
The Catholic Influence Underestimated
Mr. Hennessy's action in repudiating
Mr.. Parnell, for whom he is known to have
a great personal admiration, is thought to
show the strength Of the Catholic influence
in the district. The extent to which this
whole quarrel may resolve itself into a re.
ligious strife is, many think, too little taken
into account ia the current comments on
the situation.
