LONDON, Feb. 13.--The Telegraph to-day
publishes long interview with Messrs.
O'Brien and Dillon. In this interview it
Is made to appear that Mr.. OBrien adj
vised Mr.. Mccarthy to restrain the asper-
ity of some of his supporters. 1t is UNDER
stood, says the Telegraph, that the allu-
sions made IN Mr.. 0'Brien's manifesto
were directed against Mr.. Heely and a few
of his friends. In an interview with Sex
ton, Parnell and others Messrs. OBrien
and Dillon had urged that both sides
avoid rancor. After discussing plan OF
campaign Mr.. Parnell and Mr.. Dillon had
arrived at mutual understanding in re-
gard to evicted tenants.
Editorially the Telegraph says that both
Mr.. 0'Brien and Mr.. Dillon will be glad
to be relieved of this onerous position,
and that for the same reason the Union
lists will be unable to view the execution
Of their sentence TO imprisonment with
regret.

assurances
BThe Times says: Probably Messrs.
Dillon and 'Brien do not regret their
scclusion. Never before did decree niSi
effect such q manifold and far-reaching
separation"
The Standard adds. "The war has

There have occurred numerous deaths
TO sadden the new year, but the most I'M
expected was that of Leo Delibes. Delibess
was dashing,. popular, full of life and
gayety, and although for some time past
his superb physique had been undergoing
a change, no one supposed that his indis-
position would terminate fatally. In him
France has lost great artist, and one who
carried with him 10 the grave the secret
of his art. Delibes was born in 1886, in
the Province Of Sarthe. AS child he
was taught music, and at the early age of
~ years his name figures on the roll of
honor of the Conservatory, where he car
rled of the prize for solfeggio. For
child, his voice was remarkable, and he
was in great demand in church circles.
lie learned the piano of Couppey, the
organ with lenoist and harmony of
Ba2in, and at Is became pupil of COM
position in the class of Adolph Adam.
With Adam Delibes found the master he
needed, and the master, in his turn, dis
covered pupil who was destined to sur
pass him.
For several years he devoted the greater
part of his time to the conservatory. lie
was greatly beloved in the school and
when his tall form and leonine head ap-
peared and his sonorous tones greeted the
pupils they seemed to derive an insplra-
ton from his presence and from his IN
born gayety which he never stroye to dis
semble. Lately he had lost his viyacity,
and seemed affected by his malady tosnch
an extent that the pupils, during his last
examination, predicted that he had not
long to live. The following week he
dined with his wife at the house of his
collaboration, Philippe Gille, for whom
he cherished an intimate friendship eN-
tending over many years. The next
night he was seized with violent pains
in the head and retired early. Toward
morning the attack was renewed and he
cxpiredin great, agony. The announce.
ment of his death was everywhere received
with the deepest sorrow not alone in
Paris but throughout France where he
was greatly beloved.

Fashions in wedding Rings.


There is fashion in wedding rings as
in everything else. Now a heavy twenty
two, or at least eighteen, carat ring is
fashionable, but not many years ago
these were regarded as vulgar, and thin
golden circlet was preferred. Hence
fashion and poverty combined forced an
immense number Of very neat, but cheap
rings on to ladies' fingers, and quite a
trade is now done replacing these with
heavier and more costly bands. Foreign
ladies appear to cling to the old tradition,
that It is unlucky to take wedding ring
Off, for they never come to supplement
the actual ring, or emblem of union,
with q better-looking one. But in this
country the fact that weddings often take
place without rings at all, prevents the SUI
perstition gaining ground, and American
ladies, whose husbands have got Weather
since marriage, generally Insist upon a
wedding ring more in accordance with
their idea of the fitness of things.

GoRMAN AND 1892.
He Comes From Union State.
.,. From the NetD York. Sun. |.,


AS O genuine and thorough Democrat,
Mr.. German is violently Objectionable to
the MugwumpS. Our cracked little con-
temporary, the Springfield Republican, at
tempts to whistle him down the wind
with this curious tune: .,s. .
1.-THE enthusiastic friends of Senator
German have been prompted by his skill
full management against the Force bill TO
suggest his name for the next Presidential
nomination Of the Democratic party. The
subject Is hardly a serious one, however,
from the fact that Senator German comes
from Southern State. Rapidly as the
war prejudices have faded from the public
mind of late, II would be too rash an ex-
pertinent for the Democratic States of the
South to ask the assistance of Northern
States in cleoting a Southern man."
This. is really funny. The Democratic
party, however, is national and not.a
the existence OF any disqualification for
the Presidency in citizens living south OF
Mason and Dixon's lines who are Consti-
tutionally eligible. The sentiment of the
country in regard to the Force bill, which
was aimed chiefly at the South, has been
shown too recently and too strongly to
afford the Republicans any, reasonable
grounds for believing that there is 'an-
other President in the bloody shirt" Be-
sides, whatever objections there might be
TO the advisability of nominating candi-
date from one of the Southern States that
seeded, they do not apply to Maryland
candidate
Maryland, our Mugwump friends ought
to know, was not one of the Confederate
States. The Legislature, which was in
session in the spring of 1861, did, indeed,
propose that the State should remain
neutral. II recognized the independence
| of the Confederate States, and declared
| against Federal coercion of them, but il
| declined to pass an ordinance of secession.
| When the question was referred to the
| people in the fall the secessionists were
| beaten out Of sight. A Union candidate
| for Governor was elected by an immense
majority, and hardly q handful of seces'
| sionists was returned to the Legislature.
| Nearly $4,000 Marylanders served In the
| Union Army, and few State Governments
We're more Jealous for the Union cause
than was Maryland.
A Maryland candidate would be no
more exposed TO war prejudices" than
| Massachusetts, candidate, The Mug
wumps must try again. III they can
demonstrate that Mr.. German Is not q
native of the United States, his friends
will be willing to admit that he can never
! be President, As IL Is, the Maryland
| Democrats will continue 10 insist that
Howard County is in the United States
and that German of Laurel Is mighty
III man TO be President of the United
States; and there are q good many othel
Democrats who will agree with them.
