Local Government in Ireland.

LONDON, Aug. 10. -Balfour, chief Sec
Rotary for ireland, in a speech delivered
at Plymouth today, outlined his ideas
of Irish local government. He ridiculed
anything like a suspicion hat the gov
ernment's proposed measure for Ireland
was q small home rule bill. Gladstone,
he declared, was assailed with such a
suspicion when he proposed q similar
bill in parliament. He was aware that
many members of the conservative
party disliked the proposal, but he
argued that local government should
not be withheld from Ireland, inasmuch
as it had been repeatedly promised
Balfour declared it would be madness
to allow the county councils to admins.
ter the funds of any class not repre-.
sented in those bodies. Such a Der.
mission would convert them into en
gines of tyranny and oppression. The
incidence of taxation fell upon the oc.
cupiers Of land. whom the council
would mainly represent, and they could
be trusted to prevent extravaganza and
jobbery with their own funds.

CarIyle's Peculiar Tribute to
Webster.

"Webster was Il large man, stout,
and tall; he had Il massive brain and
face and as masterful eyes as ever
blazed upon un adversary. When
he was in England he spent much
time with Carlyle. who, being asked
after Mr.. Wrbster's departure what
he thought otDaniel Webster, is said
to have replied that he was the
greatest false pretense living His
friend, expressing astonishment,
said:
"'Why, how is that??'
"Said he: 1t is not possible for
any nan to be at great as Webster
looks
"Wcbster had Il lion face and the
most commanding eye OF any man
OF his day, and it is not strange that
CARLYLE, who was athin, wiZened sort
of q man in his looks, should have
been powerfully affected by such a
masteriul presence as that of Web
ster. Webster doubtless had faults.
but his pre-eminent ability in debate
gave him an exalted standing, and
it was said of him that he never ut
tered a word in any public speech that

morality TO indorse.' '-lnterview in

The Old Man Changed His
Views.

VloW0s
When l was a boy l went to visit
an austere old uncle of mine, who
kept a country store in a Florida
town. He was never knownt to laugh
out loud or to take amusement out
OF anything. There was a great
bumblebees' nest in the eavestrough
of the old store. however, and the
darkies that were always hanging
about used to stir it up occasionally
to make fun. Whena strange darky
would come around who did not
know OF the trick, the boys would
get him near the nest, stir up the
bees behind his back, and then quiet
ly get out OF harms way and watch
the stranger jump when the bees
stung him.
This trick, when successfully car
ried out, was one of the very few
things thai tickled old Uncle Ben,
and he would watch it's performance
with anxiety lest it should fail, and
would then retire to the back part
of the shop and shake for ten
minutes with internal laughter,
which only found outward depression
in his quivering stomach and shout
ders and swapping black eyes. This
had been repeated scores of times,
when n day there came a hitch in
the proceedings. One bee lit just on
the old mans upper lip, and gave
him a sting that raised q lump as
big as a pigeons egg, there in one
minute.
Old Uncle Ben retired to the back
OF the shop, as usual, without giving
any sign of his smart, and l followed
him to see him shake with laughter.
There was no shake this time, how
ever. The old man called me to him
and said: See here, my boy, you run
out into the back yard and get me a
lump OF cold, wet clay from the we'll
side" did so, and he sent me away
again, saying that he wanted the
clay to stuff up a rat hole with. I
hid behind barrel, however, andsaw
him clap the clay to his mouth, take
his head in his other hand, and
stamp around and swear to himself,
till l got scared. Then he took out
some ball blue from a box, wrapped
it up in his handkerchief, dipped it in
a pail OF water and rubbed it on his
lip till he lookedlike an Indian on the
war path, Finally he calmed down,
washed himself off, and came out
looking sourer than eve
The next day the boys found a
most promising victim. and we're pre-
pairing to.play the trick on him when
Uncle Ben came out and shouted:
CHOW then YOU lazy %rascals, l won't
have you driving off my customers
with your scurvy tricks. The first
boy that touches that bees nest will
get a cowhide over his back!" And
the darkies never could understand
what caused the old man to change
his mind so suddenly about q trick
that had amused him SO many times.

LAMoURE, Aug. 1O:-A fire in the
dwelling of Wilhelm Boelter, neal Girls
void, LaMoure county, destroyed the
house, partially sod, and burned to
death, in bed, Mrs. Hermann Boelter, q
young woman whose husband was away
at work in the harvest field. Mrs. Boel-
ter was married but a year ago, and was
keeping house for her father.in-law.
The absence of the old gentleman gives
ground for suspicious of foul play, but
as the ruins had not cooled sufficiently
to allow a Thorough investigation this
morning he may be in them also-and
might be away without knowledge of
the fire.
A LATER REPORT.
The coroner, DIR. Boyd, is now max
ing an investigation and finds that the
father-in.law's remains were not in the
ruins of the house. He also found a
note pinned to a stake at some distance
from the burned house. The note pur-
ports to be written by the father. in
law, and is horribly scrubbed. 1t is so
poorly written, in English and German,
that it is very hard to read, but the pur-
port is thatthe writer, WHO'S the father
in-law, set fire to the house, barn and
g%ranary-all at some distance from each
other--hlmself. but so far as can be
deciphered no reasons are given for
the act. Active search has been made
for the old man, but he cannot be found,
and there is no. clew as to the reason fol-
his action, if he committed The crime
himself. Public sentiment is divided
as to the catastrophe. Some believe an.
other person than the old man wrote the
note and pinned it there; others that ht
did it and is insane, while still other.
believe there has been a quarrel and THU
is the outcome. Everything is excite
ment, and the authorities are making

ing much space to articles containing
bitter attacks upon the government Of
India as administered under the vice

hey Were Hornets,

We were waiting on the depot plat
form in IL new town in Alabama, and
as the dozen OF us walked up and
down some one espied a wasps' nest
hanging on u bush across the track.
He pointed it out as a wasps' nest,
but Il short, solid man, who had q
head like a cannon bali and a Jaw
denoting great tirmness OF character,
at once replied:
81 beg your pardon, sir, but you
have made the very mistake
OF chasing the wasps with the horn
cts. That is a hornets nests"
"And beg your pardon, sir" pro-
tested the other, who was n planter,
"but hornets don't nest that way.
They build mud houses under the
caves of the old buildings, and one
won't sting you unless you pick him
up. My niggers declare that no wasp
can sting if he wants to, while, on
the contrary, a hornet

terrupted the solid man; chat is a
wasps' nest. You are right about
the wasp being a peaceful insect, and
l think l will take that nest along
for a souvenir. They say they are a
sure cure for quinsv."
"Do you know a hornet from a
wasp?"
81 should remark!"
"Well, when you get through with
that nest l want you to tell me
whether it vas occupied by hornets
OF wasps. Gentlemen, look out for
yourselves?"
He started for the woods and we
followed, and when we reached a safe
distance and looked back, the man
with the iron jaw was just cutting
off the limb which held the nest. He
held it up and called to us to come
and see it, but his call was followed
by a yell which would have done cred.
it to a Comanche warrior with q
double Adams apple in his throat.
The big yell was followed by a Sc.
ries of boots, whoops, EXPLANATIONS
and calculations, and these we're &C.
companied by gymnastics of an intri.
cate character. He jumped. lodged,
twisted and cavorted, and finally
started down the track on n gallop.
Seventy minuteslater, and just as the
train whistled, he came out of the
woods, dead lame, one eye shut, his
nose as big as his fist, and his head
bare.
"Hornets or wasps?' queried the
planter.
"Hornets, by thunder!!" groaned
the victim as he hurried to get his
valise.-New York Sun.
