him in London, at any rate, is man
who smokes short pipe; and he smokes
that short pipe at all times, in all places
and under all circumstances with per-

being regarded as truly national char
acteristic. Peer and plowman are equal
ly devoted to short pipes.

Matter Looked for.
IBy United Press.l

DUBLIN, Dec. 81. The Journal says
that Mr. Timothy Harrington, member
Of the House of Commons, will probably
attend the next meeting between Messrs.
O'Brien and Parnell. The Journal be-
lieves the outlook for an amicable set
tlement of the matters at issue between
the Irish leaders to be hoped. 1t con-
siders that the prolonged interchange Of
views which was had at Boulogne yes
terday must have tended to the eyolu-
ton of basis OF agreement.
On Monday evening, Mr.. Parnell went
from London to Brighton and returned
to London yesterday morning 10 time
to make the FolkestOne train and catch
the channel steamer for Boulogne There
is no truth in the published reporls
that Mr.. Parnell went to Paris, thereby
inferring that he had visited Mrs.
O'Shea.

EOR ENGROSSING CLERK OF THE
HOUSE.

Especial Cor of STATE CHRONICLE
Just now there are many candidates
out for the various legislative Offices of
the approaching General Assembly. 1t
is highly important that none but good
men should be elected to fill these posi-
tions.
The writer has noticed through the
columns of the CHRONICLE and other pa
pers of the State the name of W.
Tomlinson, editor of the Asheville
Country Homes, mentioned for Engross-
ing Clerk of the House. can heartily
endorse all that has been said of his
competency to fill the position, and that
he is a true Democrat aud did more to
redeem the Ninth district from Radical
ism than any man in it, through his pa
per, which is the organ o; the Alliance
in western North Carolina. Mr.. Tom
linson was born and reared on the farm
in Iredell county, and from childhood IS
we'll known by the writer to be deserv,,
ing young man. The Legislature could
not do better than to elect him.

SOmo.

Visiting this department of the State
Government yesterday. we found Libra
rian Birdsong with pleasant smile on
his face, and busily engaged in closing
up his report for the past two years. lie
informed US that his efforts to make the
library an attractive place for visitors
was fast being realized. The number Of
visitors to the rooms during the past
year far exceeded that Of any period ID
the history OF the state Library. While
he does not hope TO get the older OF our
citizens in the hablC OF using the rooms,
the younger ones are taking advantage
of the library to a gratifying extent.
There were one hundred visitors to
the rooms Yesterday, engaged 10
reading ard admiring the handsome
rooms, pictures. &c. Fifteen portraits
have been added to the picture gallery o.
illustrious soldiers and statesmen OF the
State during the past year. From MS
report we see that the receipts Of books
reached 1881 volumes during the past
two years; 166 volumes more than dur
ing 1878. In glancing over the regis
ter We were surprised to find SO many
visitors recorded during the year, who
reside out of the State. We were IN
formed that the accession or books by
purchase was not as large as the publlc
demand The next Legislature should
increase the appropriation for this pur
pose, which would enable the librarian
to add such works as are found IL all
first class libraries. the latest text books
On agriculture, mechanics, &C., should
be in our State Library where all inter
ested could have the privilege of consult
ing them at all times

A TERRIBLE SNOW DRIFT.
no Nails 10 Sparta in Ten Days
Travel Cut OF.


Mr.. R. L. Doughton, of Alleghapv
who is in the city, tells us that the re-
cent snow in that county, is the tiggest
and most ruinous to travel than in ten
years. 1t was II inches deep at first
and on Christmas day inches more
fell. The drift of snow was very great
and IL some places it was over ten feet
deep.
About all the mails have been blocked
up, and for ten days it was impossible
Tor the daily mail 10 get through to
Sparta, the county seat. All travel, ex-
cept by horse back, has been totally
suspended, and the Inconvenience and
delay to business has been very great.
The snow is still on the ground. 1t
drlfted as it fell, and the falling snow
was so thick that a traveller could not
see his way before him. If the weather
had been very cold, the stock would GER
talnly have frozen. Allegheny is great
s;oekraising county, and if the weather
had been severely cold, the loss would
have been very heavy.
Some OF the oldest inhabitants saw
that there never was such a drift of snow
seen ID the county.

HOAR'S RANT AND INVECT.yE

yesterday the CHRONICLE took occasion !
TO rebuke IN plain terms me sanguinarv
utterance of SoaGhern newspaper which
threatened blood if an attempt should
be made to enforce the Force bill. We
do not retract what we there
stated, but we do say that
such bloody article is Lot to
be compared for baseness and invec
tive to the speech made by Senator HoAR
Tuesday We have no space for his
basely partizan utterance, and give the
following synopsis sent out by the United
Press merely as sample Of his offensive
advocacy of his sectional BILL
Hoar told Southern Senator's that
they had pledged their official oaths and
honor as men that they would give their
devotion to the Constitutional amend
ments if they were only let back into
their old condition in the Union, free
t, ON the consequences of rebellion. And
now they were denouncing those Consti-
tutional amendments as "a stupendous
crime and blunder"
He criticised the new constitution of
Mississippi, and said the people were
not blind to the objects of the Mississip-
pi constitutional convention. If they
were their eyes would have been opened
by the declaration of Judge Calhoun,
the president of the convention, avowing
the purpose for which 1T was gathered,
and who said that if he were asked
whether it was the purpose to restrict
negro suffrage, he would frankly answer,
Eyes, that is what we are here for
Mr.. Hoar recalled the Copiah massa-
ere in Mississippi, the murder of Fred
Matthews and the burning Of his widow S
house, and said that within the present
Christmas season that widows son 1.-THE
Republican postmaster, young man OF
: 21, had been shot down in the streets of
Carrollton, the home of Sena tor George.
"How long," Mr.. Hoar exclaimed,
show long, oh, God! shall the blood OF
, these martyrs cry for vengeance from the
ground? How long shall the murder OF
: men because they are Republicans be the
e only crime to which Republicans are in
0 different2"
0 The Senator referring to Mr.. Walt
e halD thinks the era of these things il
e passing by in Mississippi. Let US hope
e so; and that when its dark and blood!
e history is written, it will be recorded
t that there was at least one manly voic
8 in all her chivalry that uttered the in
It dignation of an American freedman a
y the outrage on Americanism and or
st freedom.
D In conclusion Mr.. Hoar addressed
e himself directly to the Southern Sena
tors and said:
4 "You have tried everything else, nov
% try justice. You have exhausted ever
y policy and failed. This terrible questio
B. will not down. Your people hav
