Excitement in Ireland Over the Renewal
of Evictions.
DUBLIN, Sept. 20.-Ihere ia renewed ex-
citement everywhere in Dublin in conse-
quence of the resumption of the eviction of
tenants who are in arrears for rents. In
county Glare the sheriff proceeded yester-
day with large force of police to Cool
ready to dispossess delinquent tenants, but
instead of the resistance expected the tenant
was ready to pay the back rent. At the
next house the sheriff found the same con-
dition of affairs. The result OF the raid
was that the rents were paid and none of
the tenants evcted. The Freeman's Jour-
nal, anti-Parnellite, declares that the at
tempted evictions we're the result of the
landlords desire to discredit home rule

New YORK, Sspt. 2o.-Hon. Carl schurz
has written letter addressed to the Cleve-
land and Stevenson clubs of Kings county
and other citizens of Brooklyn. giving his
views on the present national political situ-
ton. Sohurz was invited to express his
opinion In an address. but i'll health pre-
vented. Schurz says in part:
1--WE are told that the tariff il the chief
issue Of the campaign. l certainly don't
underestimate the Importance of any Of
its aspects, but regard it only as part of the
former comprehensive question, which is
not merely economic but political in char
aoter. and concerns the general working,
and, in fact, the moral vitality of our dem
ooratio system Of government. There al
ways has been and always will be money
used in elections for perfectly legitimate
purposes, but the sums which are now spent
in /, residential and state campaigns a gen.
Grafton ago would have been thought fab
ulous. That much of this money Is used
for bribery and that the evil is growing
and spreading from year 80 year cannot be
denied"
referring to party machines, he said the
development of party organization Of late
years had been largely In the direction of
machine methods What will the effect be
on political life? 1t serves to raise up a
race of unprinoipled and visionary politi-
clans ana to retire from public life men with
patriotic ambition who wish to serve the
public welfare according to their honest
convictions.
Sohurx entered into lengthy discussion
on tho tariff question, making the deduction
that the republican party has sort of
tecit partnr rship with the benehciaries of
the taritf-the nonsyed power-to do all it
can in the way of furnishing campaign funds
to keep the republican party i'll possession
Of tho governments. In return the repubi-
onns do all they oan by way of tariff lsgis-
lation to keep the mousysd power in the
enjoyment OF large financial power.

And the Drummer Mept.

The drummer had just finished rather unreliable fish story, but nobody said anything for minute; then a venerable man of clerical cut cleared his throat and said
 Speaking of fish reminds me of case that came to my knowledge recently. 1 live down in southern Ohio on a river bottom farm, and I've got well on my place about twenty-five feet deep and four feet in diameter, lined with brick. Last summer a year ago l received 8 couple of new brand of fish from the fish commission at Washington and put them in my well.
 'I never thought much more about them until one day this past month my wife told me something was the matter with the well, and I'd better see to it. sent my farm hand down to investigate. and he came back as fast as the wind lass would turn and reported that soRe- thing was in the we'll raising Sam Hill He couldn't tell what it was, but it looked more like sea serpent than any thing else. It didn't scare me at all, and got into the bucket myself and went down. And, gentlemen, what do you think discoveredY
 Nobody answered. Nobody knew.
 "WeI, I'll tell you," continued the narrator. "I found the water only about a foot deep, and those two fish had grown so large that one of them had rubbed his tail off clean down to the quick and the other had worn his nose off up to his eyes just turning around and around in that four foot well, and there's no telling how big they would have been if the water hadn't got so low we had to take them out and turn them loose in the river"
 The venerable gentleman ceased talk ing, and the drummer, with tears in his eyes, went over and shook hands with him.-De:roit Free Press.

Not Wasted.

The Widow Jenkins lives in a small house at the edge of Maine forest. in the heart of which lies beautiful lake much frequented by summer tourists The widow, assisted by her son Jake, is accustomed to put up the visitors horses, and to supply the visitors them. selves with meals before and after the excursion to the lake. One day she saw party of four drive up with the guide. and noticing that two of them were ladies, she exclaimed to Jake quite au- dibly, Here's another lot O them eejots!
 Mrs. Jenkins was good cook. but that day, for some reason, she set before her guests plateful of cream of tartar biscuits which were of such leadlike consistency that nobody could eat them. She surveyed her guests with dark dis approval as the meal progressed, and at last swept the plate from the table and saying, I'm sorry ye can't make out t eat what's set before ye." she left the room.
 A slight gloom pervaded the rest of the meal, and Mrs. Jenkins did not re- appear. It was dusk when the tourists reached the house again.
 "Come right in" called the owner cheerfully from the kitchen door. "Set right down to your supper; it's all ready an waitin."
 Much gratified by this change in the demeanor of their hostess the party seated themselves at once. The princi- pal dish was an enormous Indian pud- ding, and being exceedingly hIngry they ate it with thankful hearts. When Mrs. Jenkins had seen the last morsel of it disappear she heaved sigh of relief.
 "There," she ejaculated as the com pany rose from the table, "l shd have give ye more v'riety, but was bound t git that puddin eat up! l couldn't bear t think of all them biscuit bein wasted, an it seemed as if you folks had orter be the ones t eat em, seein they was made a purpose for ye. An ye have eat 'em; they was worked into that Indian pud- pin, ey'ry one of 'eml An now 1 ain't got any hard feelins toward ye."- Youths Companion.

 "Indeed she was. So beautiful and stately that they made an ideal couple. Every one spoke of it. Remember how they used to promenade on the lawn moonlight evenings?"

In the fall the maple changes to a dream Of golden red. And the iceman tries to estimate how much he is ahead, In the fall furnished beauty overspreads the mighty oak, And the "fellahs" wonder how they'll gel their ulsters out Of soak. In the fall milder music ripples from the happy brook, And the tourist sadly mourns his fabbergasted pocketbook. Tn the fall the forest echoes with the laughtel of the elf, And the Nancy Hanks gas meter gets right up and humps itself. In the fall glad streams of sweetness flow from wine and cider press, While our better half is busy making over last years dress.

Equals.

The great musical composer Rossini was an odd and whimsical humorist. After finishing his great works he in- tulged himself in long period of leis- ure, and did not write a line of music. This habit of his once furnished him an opportunity for a joke.
 A friend called on him and found him writing his autograph with sentiment at the bottom of some photographs of himself.
 One of these read, "To M. Pillet Will, my friend and my equal in music"
 What" cried the visitor. "You are not serious? M. Pillet Will is not your equal in music"
 Certainly he is-since l am doing nothing," explained Rossini.-Youth's Companion.

LITTLE THINGS.

A goodby kiss Is a little thing,
 With your hand on the door to go, But it takes the venom out of the sting Of thoughtless word or Q cruel fling
 That you made an hour ago. A kiss of greeting Is sweet and rare
 After the toll of the day, And 1t smooths the furrows plowed by care, The lines on the forehead you once called fair
 In the years that have flown away. vTis little thing to say, You are kind:
 l love you, my dear" each night, But 1t sends thrill through the heart, ind For love is tender, as love Is blind
 As we climb life's rugged height. We stsrve each other for love's caress,
 We take, but wed do not give; It seems so easy some soul to bless, But we dole the love grudgingly, less and less Till 'tis bitter and hard to live.

An Odd Habit Among Rocks.

Among the odd habits of rocks is the way that members of the same rookery have of intermarrying generation after generation. The males always choose their wives from among their near neighbors, and if one should be so bold as to bring home to his rookery bride from distance the other rocks will in- variably refuse to receive her, and will force the pair to build some way off. In the neighborhood of big rookeries out lying nests of this kind may always be found. Yankee Blade.
