About sixty years ago the whole Parnell
family turned their attention toward
America, and the father of Charles Stew
art remained in the New World long
enough to woe and wed Della Stewart, the
beautiful and talented daughter of Com
modore Charles Stewart, of the United
States navy. And about this lady some
strange and painful statements nave been
made. After living in Ireland till her
children were rown, and being at one
time a great ~favorite in Dublin society, she
returned to the United States and now
lives at Bo~rlentown, y. j., in poverty.
There seems to be no doubt about it.. She
was at one time actually dependent upon
charity.
AT the same time her distinguished son
appears to have been living in compare
tive afluence, and another son was and
still is "A fairly prosperous fruit grower in
one of the southern states. Her ~favorile
daughter, Fanny Parnell, died before this
season of extreme poverty began; the other
two daughters remain in comparative oh.
security in Ireland, and Mrs. Parnell's only
companion and attendant is Michael
Slavin, an old servant who shared her
prosperity and will not desert her in adj
versity.

The Man and the DigestibIe Brick,

y familiar figure in the streets of Lon
den a few years ago was a certain colored
gentleman who, provided the bystanders
would subscribe the sum of one shilling,
promised to eat a brick. | stopped to
watch him on several occasions, but never
saw him even attempt to eat a brick. He
commenced the proceedings by producing
a large newspaper and laying it open on
the ground. He next tool a few bricks
out of the pockets of his coat, and laid
them, together with his coat, on the paper,
and then began a long peroratlon on the
digestible properties of the brick.
Whether his audience subscribed the
necessary shilling or not, he still continued
to speechify until the arrival of my friend
in blue put an end to the proceedings,
and the brick eating gentleman, after care
fully picking up his stock in trade, togeth-
er with the subscriptions of his audience,
and after n lengthy argument with the po-
liceman as to why he should he prevented
from getting an honest living, decamped.
Although, Of course this gentleman
never did actually eat "A brick, or even a
small portion Of one, there are cases on
record of people having eaten stones, pieces
of glass, knives, birds with their feathers
on, charcoal, cloth and similar luXuries.-

st seems to me to pay thirty cents a
pound for the amount of wrappings that
some grocers find it necessary to put
around butter is something of a stretch of
the courtesies of life, if not actual dis
honesty.
Families who buy butter by the pound
unquestionably pay ~one-quarter more for
their butter han those who buy it in guam
tity. There should be a law f%orbidding the
weighingof some of these heavy dishes and
including it in the price of the butter. On
one occasion ! took pains to weigh "A pound
of butter lone up in this fashion and found
that it weighed scarcely thirteen ounces,

The Methodist Church. south.

The leading topics under discussion at
the great Methodist conference in Wash
ington are such AS the title of the gathering
suggests, viz, "Ecumenical." That is, the
universal church, the Ecumenical Method
list church, the really catholic or universal
church. This topic and the claims of
Methodism to be considered "A truly uni
versal church are treated by the most
powerful minds in the conference, and it
goes without saying that their papers and
the discussion they excite will be of intense
interest.
Akin to this, and indeed a part of it, is
the great question of Christian unity,
and of course another effort is on foot
to hasten the differentiation of all the
Methodist bodies of the United States and
Canada. The greatest division, as every
body knows, was that of 1S45, for in May
of that year was organized at Louisville
the body now known as the Methodist
Church, South. 1t raises a smile or n sigh,
according to the readers temperament, To
recall that peculiar time, but now all can
smile at the confident predictions of rash
editors that the Methodist church was
ruined-'a dying body" The Methodist
Church, South, now includes about 200.
900 members, and its 1890 general confer
ence at st. Louis was an occasion when
the most extraordinary ability was dis
played.

the great fire at Delft rather than desert
her uniledged young, is well known. The
stOrks that continued to feed their nest
lngs through the fearful Commandment of

two pictures, photographs from which we

into the town. 1t was placed on a large
chimney stack ON one of the highest
houses.
