 Discuss the BaIlynahill Fight.
 DUBLIN, Dec. 17.-There was great ex- cltement' in this city over the news of the fight at Ballynahill. Crowds surrounded the bulletin boards and punctuated their readings of the news with hostile cries. In some instances blows were ex- changed and the evidences of an ugly feel ing were everywhere displayed where men were gathered in groups to discuss the situation or defy one another.
 Policemen passed rapidly to and fro, dlspersing the knots of angry men and insisting on constant movement.
 The organ of the McCarthyites in this city has assumed the name of 'Insup- pressible Ireland," the court having enjoined, on application of Parnell, the use of the title "The Suppressed United Ireland"

Attacked by Davitt's Friends and Struck With a Bag of Lime.
 KILKENNY, Dec. 17.-After the trouble at Ballynahill the Parnellite party drove to Castlecomer, and Davitt and Tanner soon made their appearance there also. They at once began to address open-air meetings. dilating upon the events that lad just occurred at Ballynahill, and as- fierting that MT. Parnell had brought a mob of hirelings to attack them. MT. Parnell's carriage. while passing, was hooted, and Davitt sent word to Parnell that If he would come and stand by him (Davitt) he would guarantee peaceable hearing. MT. Parnel replied: q am not in a position to treat; am only in a position to fight" Then addressing his audience he spoke in an impassioned vein, declaring that he would not assault any one, nor would he ask permission to speak from cocksparrow like Tanner, or jackdaw like Davitt.

THE CREW REACH SHORE.
The Steam Barge City of Utica Founders
 Near Wilson's Poinr.

SOUTHPORT, Conn.,, Dec. 17.-Storm- tossed and nearly dead from exhaustion. the crew of the ill-fated bargeH City of Utica, which yesterday was supposed to be lost, reached shore at Wilson's Point, after hard struggle with the waters of the Sound.
 The story of their battle for life is a thrilling one. Captain Martin said the barge left New York Tuesday afternoon and proceeded as far as the head of the Sound. There she was obliged to cast anchor late Wednesday afternoon, owing to the gale.
 Late Wednesday night the gale moder- ated, and Captain Martin again started on his trip. Thursday night he was off Norwalk, and the wind was blowing a gale. At this point of the trip the ma chinery of the barge broke down. and then they were at the mercy of the winds and waves.
 About midnight the barge struck a sunken rock off Tavern Island, southwest of Wilson's Point, and stove a large hole in her bottom. The barge began to fill and in short time was nearly filled with water. Most of the crew were abed when the barge struck and at the sound of the shock they rushed on deck with their clothes in their hands. The lifeboat was cleared away and the captain and his wife and little ones were the first placed in it. They were followed by the crew of three.

 Murder.

Hazen Bellware Charged With 8 Brutal
 Murder.
 HARTFORD, Conn.,, Dec. 19.-The trial Of Hazen Bellware for the murder ot Frank Miner, citizen of East Hartford has begun in the Superior Court. A jury was obtained with considerable difficulty, owing to the notoriety of the case.

 Bellware told Miner that if he came outside he would shoot him. Miner opened door, but as soon as he did so Bellware fired two shots at him, both of which took effect. He died an hour later. Bellware asserts that he did the shooting in self defence, but his com panious are ready to testify that it was without provocation.

POETS AND POETRY,

Walt Whitman's Optimistic View of ThInn s
 That Are to Be.
 Grand as to-day's accumulative funSl of poetry is, there is certainly some. thing unborn, not yet come forth, differ ent rom any thing now formulated in any verse, or contributed by the past in any land-something waited for, craved, hitherto non-expressed. What it will be, and how, no one knows. It will probably have to prove itself by itself and it's readers. One thing, it must run through entire humanity (this new word and meaning Solidarity has arisen to us moderns) twining all lands like a Di- vine thread, stringing all beads, pebbles or gold, from God and the soul, and, like Gods dynamics and sunshine, illus trating all and having reference to all.
 From any thing like cosmical point of view, the entirety of imaginative iterature's themes and results as we get them to-day seems painfully nar- row. All that has been put in state- ment' tremendous as it is, what is it compared with the vast fields and values and varieties left unreaped? Of our own country, and splendid races North or South, and especially of the West ern and Pacific regions, it sometimes seems to me their myriad noblest Ho. merle and Biblic elements are all un- touched, left as if ashamed of, and only certain very minor occasional delirium tremens glints studiously sought and put in print in short tales, sspoetry'' or books, Walt Whitman, in North Amer. iaan Review

 of Lime He Suffers Great Agony. LONDON, Dec. 17.-The excitement here is intense over the conflict between inc Irish factions at Ballynahill, and Mir Balfour has ordered the concentration Inf large force of constabulary at Kill kenny,
 Dispatches from Kilkenny state that at the moment of attack upon Davitt's crowd, the one-armed patriot had just been denouncing Parnell as a shameless reprobate and traitor to his friends and to the Irish cause. The words were uttered In so loud tone that they were plainly audible to the people in the Parnell meeting.
 One of these jumped up, and flourish ing blackthorn, exclaimed: "Iet at them boys-clean out the gang of Glad stone lickspittles. No English dictation. God save Ireland"
 The cries excited the crowd to furv and though MT. Parnell held up his hand deprecatingly, they rushed with one accord upon the Dayitt men. The priests who were upon the platform with Davitt were the first to rise and lean down among the combatants, Davitt and Tanner following
 Davitt Trampled Down.
 Mir. Davitt, not being in good physical condition, was carried along, and trampled down in the rush of his own followers, and there is some doubt whether5 he received the blow on his head from an enthusiastic admirer, who aimed it at 8 Parnellite, or whether it was inflicted by 8 stone thrown from the Parnellite ranks.
 Both crowds, as they fought, shouted. "God save Ireland," intOrminglinR this cry with that of "Parnen forever" and Down with the adulterer;" "Davitt's the man for us," etc.
 A priest, whose name is not learned, was conspicuous in the Davitt ranks by his height and strength of arm. Just as the Davitt men were giving way, this priest, by two powerful blows, right and left, laid low two of the foremost assaiI- ants, and revived the courage of his own side. The Parnellites, however, had the advantage, when the inter- ference of the police resulted in restor- ing quiet.
 Davitt's injury causes him much pain, but 1t is not considered alarming. In the cases of some of the wounded, sert. ous results are dreaded.
