a BITTER FEUD.
Irish Bishops and Pnrneliitss Arrayed
AEalnsl Each Other.


CORK, Jan. 2.-The feud existing be-
tween the Irish bishops and the Parnell-
ties, which has been smouldering since
the election I'm North Kilkenny, again
burst forth fiercely yesterday and the
most bitter feeling prevails on both sides
Mayor Horgan, an earnest supporter OF
Parneil, was Installed at the town hall
as mayor or CORK to-day, amid q scene OF
intense enthusiasm on the part OF
the Parnelltes. No anti-ParnellItes
were present. A rumoT was cir
culated early In the day that
there was trouble brewing for the Par
nellites- The trouble manifested itself
when the arrangements were being made
during the morning for the customary
installation ceremony at the Catholic
cathedral, which has formed part OF the
days proceedings. The Parnellites were
then informed, first by rumor and after
wards by positive fact, that the Install
alton ceremonies at the cathedral must
be abandoned, as Bishop O'Callahan re-
fused to receive che Parnellite mayor.
This Information was greeted with many
signs OF extreme Indignation by the Par
nellites, who are now CONVINCED that the
battle OF the priesthood In only In It's first
stages, and that long aud desperate
struggle for supremacy between them
selves and the priests may be looked for
ward 20 throughout ireland II Parnell
remains at the head OF the Irish party.

Gold Chain in a Lump of Coal.

A curious find has been brought to
light by Mrs. S. w. Culp AS she was
breaking lump of coal preparatory to
putting it in the scuttle she discovered,
as the lump fell apart, imbedded in a cir
cular shape, small gold chain about
ten inches in length of antique and quaint
workmanship. AT first Mrs. Culp thought
the chain had been dropped accidentally
in the coal, but as she undertook to lift
the chain up the idea of its having been
recently dropped was at once made fall
lacious, for as the lump of coal broke it
separated almost in the middle, and the
circular position of the chain placed the
two ends near to each other. AS the
lump separated the middle of the chain
became loosened, while each end re-
manned fastened to the coal
This is study for the students of
archaeology who love to puzzle their
brains over the geological construction
of the earth, from whose depths the Gu
rious is always cropping out. The lump
of coal from which this chain was taken
is supposed to come from the Taylor
vile or Pana mines, and it almost bushes
ones breath with mystery when it is
thought for how many long ages the
earth has been forming strata after
strata which hid the golden links from
view. The chain was of eight carat
gold and weighed eight pennyweights-

A LandIadx,s BIN.

In the house of a lady in the Kurfurst-

furnished room and agreed to pay thirty
three marks month for it. At the end
of that time he asked for the bill. when
to his surprise he found the thirty-three
marks had risen to eighty for his apart
ment. Among other peculiar items in
the bill were; For using the carpet,
four marks; for use of knife and fork,
four marks; for putting the room in or
der, ten marks; for use of u chair on the
occasion Of a visit from your brother,
four marks. The lodger considered this
reckoning preposterous, and refused to
pay, so the lady detained his box, which
contained large sum of money. The
Englishman has sought the aid of the
law in revising the bill of the specula-
tive hostess London News

Making GOOD Roads.

The movement which has been well
begun in many parts of the country to
reform the wagon roads. which have TO
a great extent fallen into sad state of
neglect, is likely to be forwarded by the
action taken by several agricultural col
leges, and particula " y Cornell uni
versity, in giving cor.. # instruction
in roadmakng.
Very often bad roads exist because no
One in their vicinity knows how to con-
etruct a road The people often do the
best they can, but roadmaking is a
science in itself, belonging properly to
the civil engineers profession.
In Cornell university the professor of
civil engineering, the professor of agri-
culture and the professor of horticulture
have been directed to prepare a plan for
putting the roads Of the university prop
erty into the best possible condition; and
when the road has been completed an
inscription is to be put upon it, stating
how much it cost, what materials were
used, and what methods were employed
in its construction.
In several agricultural colleges, courses
of lectures are given by practical men
upon roadmaking. Farmers institutes
are taking the matter up, and the people
everywhere are learning that much bet
ter methods of roadmaking exist than
the old one of heaping up dirt in the
middle of the driveway, to be worked
into ruts and washed into the bitches
again in the course of year.@Youth's
