OUTRAGE IN IRELAND.

Moonlighters Inausurate the New Year
by an Attack Helpless Females and
by Wrecking Club Houses and Public
Halls at TulIah, County Glare.
DUBLIN, Jan. 3.-Another outrage by
moonlighters is reported from Tullah, a
small town in County Clare. On Satur-
day night band of moonlighters who
had grudge against man employed
as servant by the family of the late
Judge Browne, visited the residence of
the Brownies, which is situated short
distance from the town. One of the
band. who was in Disguise entered the
house and demanded to know the
whereabouts of the man servant. The
only occupants were the daughters
of the deceased magistrate. They in
formed the moonlighter that the man he
was looking for was not in the house.
This information seemed to enrage the
moonlighter, who drew revolver and
fired upon one of the girls. Fortu-
nately his aim was bad and the bullet
went wide of its mark. He then
amused himself by firing at random
about the room until his weapon was
empty. when he withdrew and joined
the gang that was awaiting him out
side. When they learned that the man
they wanted was not in the house the
moonlighters withdrew without max
ing any further trouble. The Misses
Browne as soon as possible notified
the authorities of the affair, but as yet
no arrests have been made.
A party of Parnellites at Kilrush
who were celebrating the new year
Sunday night became imbued with bit
ter political animosity after they had
filled themselves with Irish whisky,
and determined to wreak vengeance on
their political enemies. the anti-Par-
nellites They marched in body to
the rooms occupied by the Workmen's
club and made an attack with stones
upon the building, smashing all the
windows and doing other damage. The
mob gained fresh accessions while the
attack was going on, and when pro-
posal was made to attack Temperance
hall it was received with shouts of ap-
proval. In short time the latter build
ing was in as bad state Of wreck as
the Workmen's club.
The police were absent, and the riot
ers had everything their own way.
Gaining courage from the fact that no
opposition was offered to their rowdy-
ism. the mob attacked the town COM

Changes of this sort in the coustitu-
tion have often been suggested, and so
far as it pertains to congress this
change would certainly be wise. Such
a scheme would undoubtedly secure
much popular support. Even as it per-
tains to tie president the proposition
would also command considerable ia
vor. This is an age of reform" There
is a large element of the population
who would abolish any political Us age
that is old and put something different
and hitherto untried in its place. Hun
dreds of thousands think that the mode
of eleeting presidents is too slow and
cumbrous; tens of thousands say that
the idea of having president at all is
antiquated and absurd and that COM
mission or board should be put in his
place. Then there are others who
would abolish the senate as well as the
president Nobody ever saw an age in
this country more favorable to new
notions in politics than this is. Let
the exultant and impetuous democracy
pitch in according to constitutional
methods for the required changes in
the system Of doing things, for the
president and the republican members
of congress are going to hang on to
their offices until the term ends for
which the people elected them.-St.

1T THE SHRINE.


 After i few hours more journeviug the pariN reached their destination. For Marie II WAS q time of blessed peace, for the kind words of the sergeant had brought her such relief that wearied nature asserted her power, and she slept. So weary was she that she lay as one dead. and evCn bad dreams came not tu her. The road had got somewhat smoother as they drew nearer Ia the val ley. 50 that she was less jolted than had been the experience hitherto on the jour ney.
 When they arrived at the gendar- merle. the sergeant would not have Marie awakened. Let her sleep, poor soul, while she can." he said. So couple of men lifted without awakening her and placed her ill room. where the ser geant's wife had her laid on q bed as good as was to be had. The door was locked, and she was left alone to sleep until the morning, when she was to be taken before the magistrate.
 When she awoke, after long sleep, the sergeant's wife gave her a comfort ahle meal, and in many little ways such as kind women know helped to ease her diSress.

The thought came to her like an inspira- tion that it could not be any one pursu- ing her, or the pace would have been quicker. She made up her mind-she would trust her child to the mercy of this stranger.
 Hastily wrapping him III her woolel. shawl, she laid him tenderly at the foot of the shrine. after kissing him with pas sionate fervor, and hurriedly hid herself in clump of trees thet grew thiclly around the shrine.
 The horseman approached at au easy pace. She peered out eagerly through the leaves to see to what kind of pcrscn she was about to trust tho fate of her child.
 He had thrown the rein on the horses neck and was to all seeming unconscious of what went on around him. He was evidently in some deep distress, for the tears were rolling down his cheeks. The mothers heart grew glad, for the eyes seldom weep when tine heart is hard. As he drew near, the child, which missed the warmth of its mothers breast. gave a feeble cry.
