complete and on the harder rteru,sj
Within five years from the day en- which
Mr.. Gladstone locked up Mr.. ParnelI in
Kilmainham jail Mr.. ParnelI had forced
Mr.. Gladstone to abandon his Irish
policy, to renounce his Irish PRINCIPLES
and to march the remnant of his shat
tered legions, with arms reversed and
drums muffied, into the Parnellite camp.
"Mr. Parnell has always been the
mystery man of politics, and people now
think that the mystery is cleared up
The mysteryywas Mrs. O'Shea: When
Mr. Parnell was not in the House of
Commons he was at Ethan In her soci-
ETY. or at some one of the many other
places in which this long intrigue was at
different times carried on. His absences
were often commented on, never publicly
explained. Never did any man carry
mystery and secrecy so far. 1t wasgsup-
posed at one time that Mr.. ParneH cloaked
his movements because he dreaded as
sassination.
%He cared nothing for societySS,but of
late years some of his new Liberal allies
or their wives have sought him and asked
him to dine. If they knew his ways,
they sent their invitations by telegraph;
nor were they even then always re-
ceived.
'sMrs. O'Shea is no ordinary woman,
nor is she an adventures. She is of the
bluest English blood and is a,woman OF
intellect and refinement. Her brother,
Sir Evelyn Wood, is one of the best gem
erals in the British army and, after Lord
Wolseley and Sir Frederick Roberts, who
are both IriShmen, next in the line Of
promotion for commander-in-chief. Mrs.
O'Shea is handsome, with pearly white
skin, wealth of golden hair and
graceful, voluptuous figure. She has
| fascinating manner and is charming in
TOD
tastes and mans knowledge of politics.
The breath of suspicion had never
touched her until she met Parnell. She
started in to help him politically and
ended by becoming infatuated with him.
The fascination was mutual.
"O'Shea is the son of a Limerick attor-
ney who left him large fortune, which
| he squandered in horse racing and gam
bling. He was an officer in a. crack cav
airy regiment, a dashing, lady-killing
fellow with good figure and attractive
manners. He married kittyyWood when.
she was in her teens, but the pleasures
| of the mess-room and the race course
| had more attraction for him than home.
When he lost his money he left the army
and lived on his wife's, spending it free
| ~ on wine, women and horses. He often
remained months away from home and
! utterly neglected his wife. Getting into
| Parliament for County Glare through the
influence of the Catholic bishops, he
foisted himself on Parnell through his
wife's entreaties and proceeded to eam
a good Government berth by makir &
! himself useful. He closed his eyes to
j what everybody knew and finally only
acted from mercenary motives. He is
the most thoroughly despised cad in
| London to-day. UNDER other circum-
stances and with man. for husband
i Mrs. O'Shea would have made good
wife. There can be no doubt that Par.
nell will marry her"

PICTURE OF PARNELL-

THE FAMOUS FRESHMAN.

Careless OF an PrOpristy-He Ignores An
Personal and Social Obligations, and Yet
Is q Great eader OF HIen-A Master OF
the Art Of Obstruction.
This most interesting pen picture of Mr.
Parnell yet printed is furnished by the
confessedly unfriendly hand of George
W. Smalley, one of the best known of
London correspondents: "hIr. Parnell, be
the merits or dement's of his home-rule
policy what they may, has been, at any
rate, a great figure in public life. He
has led not great party, but party
large enough to hold the balance of
power in English politics, with extraor-
binary ability and power. =
When he entered the House Of Commons
the cause of home rule was the cause of
despised and powerless minority. To-
day Mr.. Parnelps watchWord is written
on the banners of all that is left-and
the greater part in numbers is left-of

accomplished this amazing result by
methods not less amazing. He defied the

its rules Of deliberate purpose. organized

degrade and dishonor the Oldest parlia-

asAIoney Goes"

The old saying that "mOney goes"
was illustrated last week, says a st.
Louis paper. A customer rendered
$50 bill. Thetradesman,had it changed
by neighbor, who, being in hurry,
gave a pocket-piece of SO in gold of
of the issue of 1861, which he priced
highly and did not want to part with.
He went to the. tradesman to whom he
had given the valued coin, and the lat
ter went out and hunted up the GUS
toner to. whom he had given it. He
had bought some cigars at neighbor
ing store and had given the gold piece
in payment. Upon going to the cigar
store it was found that the proprietor
had transferred the coin to a saloon
keeper near by, and, at that place. it
was found that the saloon-keeper had
used it In iquidating his brewery bill.
The next day ne3ghbor went to, the
brewery and found that the cashier Of
that institution had just parted3witb
the coveted piece of money to dissats
isfied employee. The individual was at
last located In a neighboring SALOON and
the coin recovered.

'We're overrun by rats, sir"
''But what heard sounded like human

''That's some sudden scampering OF the
rodents. I've heard them repeatedly.
The house is one of the oldest structures
built on these shores, as you may have
noticed-very old and somewhat dilapi-
dated, it having been left uninhabited
many years"

ears near us, other than our oWn?" con-
tinued Hillington, as he fixed his gaze
upon a certain point of one of the walls
Of the apartment.
@Sure? OF course I am. Those sounds
are cause& by rats, and by nothing else!"
Radd spoke very decidedly, and with
out the least intention of saying anything
about his unfortunate habit of drinking
and its consequent phantoms- including
@Mr. Chapman"-for the simple reason
that he had already conceived the prof.
ect of making an ally of this young man
from India and was anxious to stand well
with him.
Much to Radd's joy-for he was eager
TO hear more Of the tragic fate Of Colonel
Barton Ridley-the explanation he had
given was instantly accepted, doubtless
because the sounds within the wall had
ceased, and HillingtOn resumed his mar
rative as follows:
"As was necessary and natural, I re-
NAMED in Cape Town several days, Of

to get track of the outlaws, but they did

in the China Sea or the Indian Ocean,"

you?"
sNot a trace, sir"
Radd smiled little stronger.

Town gave you every possible assist

closely, but without letting him detect
the fact.

INC stupid Teacher.

Perhaps the most difficult school
teacher to deal with is the stupid one,
who knows nothing outside. of text
books. A boy, attending one of our
public schools, came home. the other
day, humming a school song. The
tune attracted his fathers attention.
and he asked the boy tossing the song.
He did so. It was a rollicking sailor
song, and in the choEus the boy sang,
We'll fill our bowls and. eat the toast. 4"
At this point the father stopped him
and asked where he had learned the
song. The boy replied that he had
learned it at school AZ once knew that

vented and perfected the art of obstruc-

crime against the dignity and authority
of Parliament. He was not, and is not,
a good speaker, nor even, in the ordinary
sense, a good debater. Yet, in the end,
he subdued this proud assembly to his
will. He conquered his place. He was
heard and almost obeyed. The House,
which used to apply to him all kinds of
discipline, sometimes rather childishly,
found itself in the end compelled to treat
him, and to treat with him. as an equal.
