ANOTHER SCHEME OF AGITATION ExPoUNDED.

ANOTHER SCHEME OF AGITATION EXPOUNDED
Another scheme of agitation for the redress of Irish
evances Is ON foot and has received the Endorsement
of the Fenan Brotherhood, of which George Smith, a
prominent member of the AntPoverty Society," is chair
man. The object OF the organization is set forth
in manifesto, copies Of which have been sent 10 the
various Irish societies in this city and throughout the
conntry This document says, among other things !:
The noisy turmoil In Ireland at present Is In salient
contrast with the silence that prevails among the Irish
race abroad What does this silence mean? 1t means
that the Irish millions have buttoned their pockets and
withdrawn their support from a movement they never
heartily believed in The Irish people, through their
representaves asked for one trial Of agitation.
1t was given TO them, with ample means to support IT,
Where has it landed theml In mire Of disgrace ana
disaster While the Parliamentary factions are fighting
about political soapbubbes, there IS even in Ireland,
saving remnant strong enough to show that the soul has
not yet gone out OF Ireland Apart from and under
living all this petfoggng Parliamentary agitation there
is still powerful burning remnant of that profound
hatred of British dominion which has always lain ready
10 burst forth In a fame upon any appearance OF a
chance or even Of half chance. There are men III
Ireland still who are willing TO make any sacrifice to
excise this corroding and cmacating cancer II not
e Irish race abroad will persist in its endeavor until
1t is excised.
"Ireland's condition to-day is comprised in the state
ment of one single fact and the solution OF one single
nroblem. namely that the Irish race is powerful
outside OF Ireland that they precipitate England
into difficulties Active revolution is not necessary

WITH THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT
IN REGARD TO THE CASE OF THE ITATA.
Paris. MAY 2l-Whitelaw Reid, the United States
Minister. in an interview to-day was asked II 1t
was true that at the request Of the Chilian dele
ootes he had communicated with the United States
Government asking that the orders sent 10 the
Charleston be countermanded and that the United
States Government had acceded TO the request.
Mr. Reid said
Il have had nc negotiations with the agents
Of the Congressional party. They called upon me-
/ listened to what they had 10 say, but re1useo
TO hold any official communication with my GoV-
ernment in regard to their request"
The Chilian agents in this city who represent
the Congressional or insurgent party declared To-
day that an arrangement has been made between
the Congressional party and the United States
authorities by which the insurgent steamer lta'a'
which is now being chased down the west coast
of America by the United States warship Charles
ton. will not be seized by force by the Charleston
or by any other vessel of the American Navy. by
the terms of this arrangement, the agents here
state, the fugitive craft will be handed over by
the Chlian insurgents to the United States author
ties pending a settlement of the question III dis
pute as to whether OF not the Itata has violated
the neutrality laws This action, it is said, will
be taken without prejudice 10 the Congressional

a Relic of the Revolution.

The Congress galley-the only ex-
listing battle-ship, we believe, OF the
war for independence, except her con-
sort, the Royal Savage, which lies
sunk at Valcour island-has been
hauled out by Mr.. William Adams
after having reposed quietly in the
waters of Arnold's bay on the east
ern shore of Lake Champlain 115
years, and her bones are now bleach
| inc on the shores which she has rem
dered historic. Her history is familiar
to most of our readers. She was Gen
eral Benedict Arnold's flag shipin the
severe naval battle which occurred
near Valcour island October IL, 1776
| between the American and British
| fleets During the night of the 18th,
the Royal Savage having been lost
and the British feet being double
that of the Americans, the latter re-
treated up the lake, but was over
taken by the British on the 18th near
Otter Creek and a hot engagement
followed, of which the Washington
and Congress, which were in the rear,
stood the brunt. The Washington,
commanded by Gen Waterbury, was
captured and the Congress and four
gondolas were run into what has
since been known as Arnold's bay,
and blown up. 1t seems singular
that, although Arnold fought his
vessel until she grounded, only two
of her armament Of twelve guns have
ever been recovered, and it is hoped
that others may now be found in or
beneath the acknowledgements YER

One of the most useful hints for
sick room attendance is very seldom
known outside OF hospital ward
and not even there in many cases.
The hint is how to obtain cold cloth
without the use of ice. Every one
knows that in fevers or weakness a
cold cloth on the forehead or face or
base of brain is one of the most com
fOrting things in the world. In the
tropical hospitals and where ice is
scarce. all that is necessary is to wet
linen cloth, wave it to and fro in
the air, fold it and place on the pa
tient. Have another cloth ready,
wave it to and fro just before apply
ing it. These cloths have a more
grateful lasting eoldRess than
thosefmade SO by the burning cold
produced by ice.
Thousands of people, when drying
their faces after washing, wipe them
dOwnard-that is, from forehead to
chin. This is a mistake. Always use
upward-from the chin to the fore
head-and outward-toward the ear
motions. Never wipe any part of
the face downward.
A very good authority gives a very
simple remedy for hiccough lump
of sugar saturated with vinegar. In
ten cases, tried as experiment, it
stopped hiccOugh in nine.

A Rival OF the Yosemite,

In the vast Sierra wilderness, far tC
the southwark of the famous Yose
mite Valley, there is yet grandel
valley of the same kind. 1t is situa.
ted on the South Fork of Kings Riv-
err, above the most extensive groves
and forests of the giant sequoia, and
beneath the shadows of the highest
mountains in the range, where the
canyons are deepest and the snow
laden peaks are crowded closely to-
gether. 1t is called the Big Kings
River Canyon, or Kings River Yose-
mite, and is reached by way of Visalia,
the nearest point on the Southern
Pacific Railroad, from which the dis
tance is about As miles, or by the
Kearsarge Pass from the east side of
the range. 1t is about 10 miles long,
half a mile wide, and the stupendous
rocks of purplish gray granite that
form the walls are from $500 to ).
600 feet in hight, while the depth of
the valley below the general surface
OF the mountain mass from which it
has been carved is considerably more
than a mile. Thus it appears that
this new Yosemite is longer and deep
er, and lies embedded in grander
mountains, than the Well-known Yose-
mite of the MERGED. Their general
characters, however, are wonderfully
alike, and they bear the same relation
ship to the fountains of the ancient
glaciers above them. John Muir in

In making offers of commissions to
eastern loan agents, it is a somewhat
notable fact that the western opera
tor offers to the eastern agent double
the commission on a per cent. that
he does on a 6 per cent. bond or loan.
We have before us a sample of these
offers; the following is from the cash
Ter of prominent Nebraska Savings
Bank which reads as follows:
A commission of / per cent. on 6
per cent bonds and of 2 per cent. on
Z per cent. bonds will be allowed
bankers and brokers on all sales OF
bonds on this list"
This little fact furnishes food for
thought to those who send their mon
ey west. The weaker the security,
the higher the interest paid of course,
and when western sharpers offer their
eastern agents twice as much COM
mission for placing a poor as a
good loan, don't they really place a
bonus on floating their inferior goods?
If all the money lost by Vermonters
on these western investments could
be known it would be next to impos-
sibIe to induce a conservative eastern
man to send his money west. If a
man happens to have good luck in
getting his pay, he talks about it on
the street corners that the public may
know how bright and sharp he is. If
he loses he is ashamed to have it
known, pockets his loss and keeps
the secret of his misfortunas in his
own breast.
