IsprcIAL TO TIE NEwsl

DUBLIN, Dec. 19.-It has now come to
light that the reported dynamite outrage
at the Dublin post Offices was not as fatal
rs at first supposed.
On Wednesday, Dec 0, at $50 o'clock in
the afternoon, a package was dropped in
the receiving box in Sackville street. 1t
was the busiest time of the day. The
superintendent seized the parcel and burn
ed his fingers extinglishing lighted fuse
attached TO il. The parcel contained tin
box ten inches long, five wide and
two deep, it containing three naval dyna-
mite cartridges. At the tops of the two
outer cartridges pieces of window sash
cord were attached. They were put
through hole in the box and the cord
was saturated with parafine and lighted.
AS arranged the machine could not hurt
anybody 1t is believed that the perpe-
traitor Of the attempted outrage was ignor-
ant of the properties of dynamite.

Crimes of the Russian Peasantry.

ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. l9-This year
will long be remembered by the Russians,
not only on account of the famine, but by
the many terrible crimes that are being
committed in all parts of the empire by
the famished peasantry. At Acheliabinst,
in the government of Orenboorg. which
lies partly in Europe and partly in Asia,
yoang peasant was murdered by five
men in his sleep for four roubles.
Near Majechoff, in Russian Poland,
three peasants enticed a shoemaker
named levanofsky into forest and muir
dered him beliveing he carried a big roll
of money. To escape detection the muir
derers cut the body in pieces and endeav-
ored TO burn it, -Four hungry workmen
whilst walking through the for
est found piece of the half
roasted flesh and took it home to their
fellow workmen, who ate it with great
relish. The four men being accused of
stealing strange meat, offered to show
where they found it. An arriving at the
spot the men discovered TO their horror
that they had been eating the roasted
body of Levanofsky.

Warlike Talk I'm Europe.

ST PETERSBURG, Dec. 19.-The NOUoe
Vrcmyd to-day prints a semi-oflicial ar
ticle concerning the dispute between
France and Bulgaria. The article ap-
proves the action of France in withdraw
ing her representatives from Bulgaria,
and declares that If France had yielded
any in her demands that the decree of eX-
pulsion against NJ. Chadouine should be
rescinded she would have established a
dangerous precedent.
The NOUOsi says that the Chadouine in
cident may render IL incumbent on
France and Russia to intervene To prevent
Bulgaria from being made centre of ag-
itation by the Dreibund and base for
Austria's advance upon the Balkans.
BERLIN, Dec. 19.-Gen. It sLCynski
Count Won Waldersee's predecessor in the
command of the Nineteenth Army Corps,
has just published an essay on war. Re
garding France he says; "ller armament
may equal ours, but our organization is
stronger, discipline better and personal
ambition higher Our officers never exceed
the limits of the general welfare. IL is
extremely doubtful whether the supreme
central command in France Is in position
60 lead the armies as a united whole. ]"
Referring to England he says: England
is likely 10 decide the result of the next
confederation. An impor ant question is
whether England will remain neutral"
After calculating the results of Eng
fand's supporting the Dreibund he says:
Germany cannot reckon upon this al
lance. England Ia es Rnssia and fears
France. England might p ay a favorable
part, but will not, especially If the lber-
ais are in power"

THE CHALLENGE WE ACCEPT.

THE CHALLENGE WE ACCEPT.
Hon. Robt P. Porter.
No effort should be spared to popular
ize the discussion of the Tariff. Made
bold by their temporary victory last fall,
the Democratic organs have taken up
the Mckinley bill and propose to discuss
it. The more intelligent discussion we
have of that bill, the more certain will
be our victory in 1892. Discuss it in
all its phases. From the standpoint of
of American homes, of American wages,
of American productions, of American
prices, of American ingenuity. Analyze
it with a view to ascertaining whether
or not the employment of sevearl hun
dred thousand workmen here at home,
in industries heretofore conducted in
foreign countries, does not give market
right at home for millions of pounds of
pork and millions of bushels of grain.
Study the census figures of 1890 and find
out that the increase in the population
of the growing developing industrial
centers of these Western States is rap
idly encroaching on the food producing
capacity of your fields.
Study it in the tables showing the
average prices of grain in manufacturing
and agricultural States; and then tell
me if this increase in manufacturing is
not beneficial alike to farmer and artisan
If the American farmers could only learn
the truth about the home market the
Free Traders would be compelled to
abandon all attempts to carry single
Northern agricultural State.

ABOUT CHEWING GUM.

London is excited over the alleged
adulteration of chewing gum, and the
controversy has enlisted as high medical
authoity as the Lancet, which, after
summing up the bubbles of lawyers
employed to defend arrested dealers,
resolves the matter thus:
"But what is chewing gum? The
following definition might be suggested:
A substance of very variable compost
ton, ignorantly employed by children,
which, when containing paraffine wax,
may lead to very grave dangers, and the
sale of which should be prohibited'
The legal definition is what the Lancet
has reference to.
The practice may be comparatively
harmless and is doubtless preferable to
chewing tobacco or snuff rubbing, but it
is inelegant, no matter how exclusive
and recherche some of its votaries NAV
be. 1t is difficult to tell what may be in
chewing gum, but there are so many
substances that may be utilized that
there seems to be no pressing necessity
to use deleterious ones. Some apOlogistS
for the disgusting American habit of
chewing tobacco contend that the me-
chanfcal action of the weed on the teeth
is to cleanse them, but tOlerably CON-
petent authorities contend that brush
and soap and water will do the work
much better without exciting the salivary
glands and saturating the system with
nicotine. Northern Ohio youth were
formerly partial to tamarack gum. Its
taste was not particularly pleasant, but
as a tooth cleaner it was as good as any
other gum, and there was certainly
nothing deleterious except the chewing.
The practice doubtless tends toward
filthiness of habit. For, instance, it is
common when two girls as sweet as
June roses are getting their lessons to-
gether and one has forgotten her gum
for the other to oblige her friend by
lending her wad part of the time, they
chewing the same piece alternately until
recess allowed them to reprovision.
Now fellow can stand considerable
from a nice girl, but this practice is not
calculated to make her appear more
angelic in his eyes. However, an angel
is scarce a proper synonym for girl, as
all angels we have ever heard of were
as of the masculine gender.

Hon. ]. S. CLARKsoN, President elect
of the Republican League, in recent
interview said: "The next Republican
candidate for President must be man
broad enough to cover this broad land
and able to administer justice on all the
differing interests with a true regard to
all national interests. President Har-
rison has made faithful Executive in
every public sense, and is lacking only
in the personal popularity which gives a
man the power of electricity in politics.
His pure intellectual ability is not second
to any American living to-day, not even
his phenomenal Secretary of State.
Whoever is the Republican candidate
must be a man who can maintain the
solidarity of party in the great agricul-
tural region west of the Mississippi.
The candidate must not only be near
the people, but must not be far from
the farm. All politics will go more
closely to the farm than for fifty years.
The farmers are going to assert them
selves in public affairs and for the good
of the race"

OLIVER GOLDSMITH.

Probably one of the most wonderful
men that the eighteenth century gave
birth to was Oliver Goldsmith. Seem
ingly lazy, prof1igate and worthless he is
remembered and revered for the great
things he did.
Oliver Goldsmith was born at Pallas.
Ireland, in 1928, the son of an Episeo-
palian minister. His boyhood gave no
promise of useful manhood. At the
age of seventeen he entered Trinity col
lege, Dublin, but for some of his pranks
soon had to leave it. For time he led
vagrant life, but afterward returned to
college and graduated; then went to
Edinburgh and studied medicine, but in
attempting to practice made a dismal
failure
He had an Unsuitable desire for gam
bling, and thus always squandered ev-
erything he could get hotd of. He set
out on foot to make tour of the conti-
nent of Europe supplied by no other
means than those afforded by his good
spirits, his kindly disposition and his
flute, upon which instrument he was
finished player.
When he had failed in almost every-
thing else he finally drifted into litera-
ture, where he worked in obscurity for
some years. But finally his efforts were
crowned with an enviable success.
His first work that attracted attention |
was ''The Traveller" which at once
placed him among the great authors of
the century. Following close upon it
came the "Vicar of Wakefield, the most
exquisite novel of that age, work that
has been the delight offour generations.
and will only perish with the Engi IN
tongue. Then came the deserted Vii
lage," most beautiful and finished
poem. These are only a few of his
books but the greatest of them, and
upon these his fame as an author will
always rest.
These and other works which were
very popular brought him ample re-
and yet he was always in
yolved in pecuniary embarrassments.
He had large heart, a generous hand
and an indolent disposition, loved good
living, fine clothes and ostentation. He
died i'll pril 1774 1?74 I, deeply in debt, yet
loved and regretted as few literary men-
are. He was buried in Temple church
and his epitaph was written by the great
DR.. johnson, but his books are his most
enduring monument.
