st Helena.

Very few people in this country know
anything about the island of st. Helena
beyond the fact that it was the scene of
Napoleon's exile. United States Consul
Coffin seems to have had in mind the
prevailing ignorance and in his last re-
port to the State Department concluded
to give some Information of the local GUS
toms and conditions. His subject seems
to have been very limited, as he covers
it in the following brief paragraphs:
ION the Island of St. Helena there is
no city. The town called Jamestown
contains, should judge, some $500 IN
habitants, and the country surrounding
about 800 more.
''The island is governed by Governor,
who is appointed from England, and five
members of Council, who are appointed
by the Governor and serve without pay.
The Governors salary is $4,000, and, as
he is Judge, Postmaster, and head of the
Board of Trade, he probably receives
emoluments beyond his established sal
ary as Governor.
''The Police Magistrate is also the
Queens Advocate, Collector of Customs,
etc. There is colonial surgeon sent out
from England who has charge Of the civil
hospital at salary of 81 $50 per annun,
and for services to the parish he receives
$500 per annum. There is board of
health appointed by the Governor and a
board of assessors.
'sThe streets and town buildings are in
charge of the colonial engineers depart
ment. The roads in the country are in
charge of the military engineers, as are
all the roads leading into the country;
they are military roads There are but
two streets in the town-one starting
from the water frontage and leading up
the valley to the head of the town, called
Main or Market street, about one mile
long, and one short street branching off
from the main street, called Napoleon
street, leading to the military road to
Longwood. The lower part of the main
street is lighted with kerosene. There is
no public library or free hospital.
"The revenue is raised by duties on
spirits, vines, beer, and tobacco, and
wharfage on the goods landed here,
which is high. They also raise part of
the revenue from local taxation. The
revenue fell short OF the expenditures
$4,000 during the year 1891"

Do Irishmen Read?

1t certainly appears rather surprising
that there is so little sale for books in
ireland, but to my mind the slur thus
implied that the Irish are not a reading
people can be satisfactorily explained
away, says writer in the Freeman's
Journal. A nation can in way patron
ize literature and read or know the con-
tents of standard books and yet buy very
few of them. In Ireland particularly
there are many impediments to the diffu-
sion of literature, but the peoples love of
knowledge overcomes them all and pre-
serves their intelligence without much
aid from the printer and the bookseller.
Long weary years of persecution have
enfeebled the nation, and have destroyed
many leading feature of the Celtic race.
The seats of learning and those who
dwelt and taught therein, who made Ire
land merit the proud title of Island of
Scholars-these noble halls we're RACED
to the ground; those worthy men,
whether young or old, we're driven to
death or exile. Thus it was that the
great majority of our forefathers had to
depend for their education on the hunted
priest or hedge schoolmaster, it being a
crime in those days to teach the unfor-
tunate Papist. To-day we are but slowly
recovering from the illiteracy which
necessarily relgned supreme. The vari-
GUS educational systems have been I'M
able TO reach the poorest class until the
past decade, and consequently those who
are old enough to read and appreciate a
book have not been blessed with an OPP
portunity Of acquiring knowledge of
reading. To bear out this, recent returns
show that there is a comparatively greater
number of persons who cannot read or
write ia Ireland than in England or
Wales.
This is perhaps the principal reason
that we are not q reading people, but
there is also some truth in the statement
that not small number of us Hiberni-
ans have not the means Of satisfying the
commonest necessities of life, not to speak
of buying books. Those of the inhabit-
ants who speak the native tongue are un-
doubleday the worst off in this respect.
When times improve we may yet SEQ q
large sale for Irish books, and the Celtic
may flourish again when those who
speak it now can afford to cultivate it as
their mother tongue.
Notwithstanding the fact that they are
unable to read, most people in Ireland
have thorough knowledge of the politi-
cal questions OF. the day, of their religion,
and of the history of their country.
Aided by the naturally bright intellect of
the Irishman, they can form pretty fair
idea Of what is going on in the world
outside, and what has taken place in
their native land in past times, partic-
ularly in their own parish or county.
Not week is allowed to pass in the
typical Irish village without it's inhabit-
ants assembling some evening in the
forge or other public building to listen
to the village reader giving forth the

NEWS FROM OVER THE SEA
ANTRIM.

The Rev. Samuel George Cotton, con-
victed at the last Assizes, before Chief
Baron Palles, for cruelty to children at
the Carogh Orphanage, was put forward
to receive sentence. He expressed de-
sire to address tbs court, but Justice
Holmes said he had no power to allow it,
and further, counsel had addressed the
Chief Baron when the case was tried.
Justice Holmes then read the Judgment
Of the Chief Baron at length. The medi-
cal certificates OF DR.. George Porter and
DR.. Fitzgerald and the prisoners age
we're fully taken into consideration, but
he could not reduce the term Of impri-
comment to less than six months without
hard labor. He must, however, avail
himself of the power to inAict fines, and
he must do so to the fullest extent the
law allowed, and that was to infiict fine
of e1O0 in each of the four cases. He
did not think that the circumstances of
the case of Elizabeth Burnett necessi-
tated fine. The sentence would be six
months in each of the four cases Of
Thomas Collins, Charles Outlet, Mary
Thornly I'd Patience Walker.
ARMAGH.
An inquest was held on July 18th, by
Mr.. John Francis Small, coroner for the
South Division of the county Armagh in
the townland Of Clohogue, about two
miles from Newry, on the body of far
mer named John Gordon, who had died
suddenly from the effects of fall he
had received on his way home from
Crossmaglen, on the previous Saturday
evening. The deceased, in company of a
man named Peter. Toner, left Crossmag.
len in a cart, and when they had gone
some distance along the road, Gordon
fell out of the cart on the road. He WIS
unable to rise, and had to be carried to
his sisters house, where he died next
day. DR.. M'Bride deposed that the de-
ceased died of paralysis, which probably
attacked the heart. Verdict accordingly.

THE RED RIVER voYAGEUR.

Out and in the river is winding
The links of its long, red chain,
Through belts of dusty pine land
And gusty leagues of plain.
Only at times, a smoke wreath
With the drifting cloud rack joins
The smoke of the hunting lodges
OF the wild Assiniboines!
Drearily blows the north wind
From the land of ice and snow;
The eyes that look are weary.
And heavy the hands that Tow.
And with one foot on the water
And one upon the shore,
The Angel of Shadow gives warming
That day shall be no more.
Is it the clang OF wild geese,
Is it the Indians yell.
That leads to the voice of the north wind
The tones OF far-of bell?
The voyageur smiles as he listens
TO the sound that grows apace;
Well he knows the vesper-rinRing
OF the bells of St. Boniface.
The bells of the Roman mission,
That call from the tuTrets twain
To the boatman on the river,
To the hunter on the plain.
Even so in our mortal journey
The bitter north winds blow,
And thus upon life's Red River.
Our hearts, as oarsmen, row.
And when the Angel of Shadow
Rests his feet on wave and shore,
And our eyes grow dim with watching,
And our heart faint Vt the oar.
Happy is he who heareth
The signal OF his release
In the bells Of the Holy CITY.
The chimes Of eternal peace.

TYRONE.
Strabane Dog, Poultry, Flower Show
and Industrial Exhibition was opened
on July %, in glorious weather. The at
tendance was enormous, and the latest
motion" in ladies' costumes was to be
seen on all sides. The Sligo contingent
was rather an attenuated one, but those
who stayed at home missed most en-
joyable day. Amongst tine successful
exhibitors was Mr.. Nuttall, Of Cullina-
more, who took no less than five first
prizes in the setter class. Mrs. INITIAL
also got a first prize. In the poultry
section Mrs. F. G. Smyth, of Clugher,

and got several valuable prizes.
WATERFORD.
At Waterford, on July 30, four men;
charged with assaulting Mr.. David

and their friends left curt.
WEXFORD.
Another rather sudden death took
place at Askinsilla, Blackwater, on the
morning of July Esd. The deceased was
farmer named Thomas Whelan, Pig
market hill, Enniscorthy. On July I'D,
he complained of being unwell, but no
particular notice was taken Of this fact,
as he appeared to be in his usual health.
Subsequently he went to where some Of
his men were making hay, and on return
ing to the house he proceeded to his
bed-roor2 and lay down Oh his bed,
where he was subsequently found insen-
sible and breathing heavily. DIR. Ryan,
of Oulart, and Father Dunno, of Black
water, we're summoned to attend him;
but he passed away, at half past one
o'clock without rallying in the slightest
degree. The coroner was communicated
with, but did not, under the circum-
stances, consider 1t necessary to hold an
inquest. The funeral OF the deceased
took place ON the 25th, and was one Of
the largest ever seen in the district,
High Mass and Office was celebrated at
Blackwater, and the interment took
place in the family burial ground at Cas-
tie Ellis. ...

KILDARE.

1t would seem as if we were about to
have another and the final series of Clon-
COREY evictions. The Rev. A. Kinsella,
P p, states that nothing stands before
the poor people and the roadside save
the short interval required to collect the
forces Of the Crown for the protection of
the Emergency men, who are already
quartered on the spot, and ready to re-
sumo their fall work Olongorey stands
luridly out in the recent history of the
agrarian war. Not within the four COR
ners of Ireland has any district been SO
savagely and UNANIMOUSLY harried. Some
of the worst and most cruel outrages
ever perpetrated in the name of the law
have been inflicted upon the unfortunate
Clio corey tenants, and all because they
have resisted the payment of rents which
they never earned and which are physi-
cally incapable of being earned out of
the holdings. It cannot be forgotten
that Judge barley himself, of all men,
acknowledged that the Clongorey rents
were rack-rents. The admission from
such a source is the heaviest condemna-
ton of the evlctions. When Judge OAR
ley speaks of rackrents it is safe to as
sumo that they are rents which no tenant
could or should be asked to pay.
KILKENNY.
In the Dublin Bankrupt Court, before
Judge Boyd, in the case of Michael Nor
ris, farmer, at Clowen, Mrs, Norris, the
bankrupt's wife was examined by Mr..
Ignatius O'Brien for the assignees. She
stated that the landlord had got judg-
ment for rent, and the farm was put up
for sale, and knocked down at FL to the
landlord. A receiver was appointed over
the lands by the court, and Father Pur-
cell negotiated with him on her behalf
for the farm, and the court ruled that
Father Purcell's offer should be accepted.
Witness now had possession of the land,
off portion of which she raised hay, and
she used the remainder for grazing. She
advertised quantity of hay for sale,
and insisted on her right to sell it, al
though she had got no conveyance to
the farm. The further hearing was adj
journed.
