An interesting letter to Thursdays Times
from "Scrutator" shows in a very striking
manner what the yIll-o'-the-wisps are which
are misleading the Irish people to desire
Home-rule. "Scrutator' directed his agent to
find out so far as he could what the tempting
features of Homs-rule were in the eyes of the
Irish labourers, and the following was one of
the conversations which resulted from the
Investigation. "a" stands for agent, and "L'
for labourer:-"A: What do you object to
under he present system? L Isn't it a terrible
thing to see all the fine bullocks going over to
England to feed the English soldiers PA:
Then if you had Homs-rule, | suppose you
would keep them all in Ireland for your own
consumption ? L: Troth we would; and when
we get Home-rule, there'll be public works
started and factories for making Irish frieze.
"A And | suppose you won't let the f1szs
go out Of the country either to cloths the
English? Il: Indeed we won't.-A: Who is
going to pay fer these public works and SO
forth? L. You, Of course, and the likes of
you" TIL next conversation was held by a
Protestant tenant-farmer Ky with either a

Serious attention is being paid in Germany
to plans fol- erfecting a light coat Of mail
impcnetrable to rife-bullels or to the bayonet.
The one we mentioned last week, vented by
Herr Dove, u tailor Of Mannheim, has, it is
asserted, already been PROVISIONAL purchased
by = syndicate for &l5O, 600; but it is only
one of three. Another was made two years
ago by an Austrian engineer named Sarnso,
who tried in vain to induce his Government to
take it up; while a third has been submitted
to the German Military Department by an
engineer of Mannheim, named Reidel. 1t is
said that the latter can make all impenetrable
shirt covering the frame down to The knee
and capable of adhering to uniform cloth, which
weighs only 5lb. All are believedto be made
of compressed hemp, faced with rings of thin
wire, and all are completely bullet proof at a
hundred yards, though all, of course, allow the
bullet to mf1ict a terrible bruise. We have
said enough elsewhere of The effect this dis
oovery may have in war, but may add here
that it certainly will aft ord a wonderful pro-
lection against bullets for artiIlerymen, and
those who work Gatling guns.

A despatch from Copenhagen reports th.t
the Castle of V-ll6, a convent for noble la
dies, near Kj6ge, in iceland which was built
in 1886. was completely destroyed by FIRE on
the morning Of March 20. Several Of the
elder nuns had narrow escapes, being rescued
in their night clothing just before the portion
of the building they occupied became s%nvelop-
cd in flames. The library, which contained a
valuable collection of books, was destroyed,
as were also many old paintings and nearly
all the. furniture in the building. The sacra-
mental vessels, which are of considerable
value, were, however, saved. The castle was
insured for eight hundred and two thousand
kroner, and the contents for one hundred and
thirty thousand kroner.

Pleasantvillc, Ap rl 5-The high Wind of
last night famed tn e smouldeling embers of
Sunday big forest fire into lame and it is
now raging worse than ever. A village has
been almost wiped out, and more damage ii
threatened
When the flames began to sweep through
the forest this morning they headed towards
Suttontown. This is a village about two miles
from the out skirt of West PleasantrilIe The
strong westerly wind drove the flames for
ward st a rapid rate. All the morning and
we'll into the aftern DON it looked as though
West Pleasantville would have to go. Tilton 5
mills are located there, and when it became
apparent that the village was in Danger work
was suspended al the mills and the men has
tened out to fight til flames. 1t was not long
before it was seen that any effort in this d.
rectiOn would be futile. Back firing was
then resorted TO. The mill hands were aidet
by the farmers and their hired men in this
work, and soon a lar &c strip of land was laid
waste. The flames reached this and stopped,
Fortunately the wind had died out and
shifted a point, and the embers were not car
ried across.
Suttontown was not so lucky as West
Plea sa% ntville. Several houses were burned,
but how many is not yet known. 1t is i'm
possible to reach Suttontown from here, as
the blazing forest interviews. 1t is believed
that the entire village has been wiped out. 1t
will take several hours to circle the flames
and ascertain the damage. So far as we can
Judge from here there is no abatement in the
fury of the flames in the forest.
Hollidaysburn, Penn. April 5-The most
destru ctive forest fire that has visited this re-
gion for many years occurred on Reservoir and
Loop Mountain last night. The burned ter
ritory covers an area of thirty two square
miles, and heavy gales of wind rendered the
work of fighting the flames Intellectual. Six
farm houses in Monisson's Cove, thirty five

destroyed by tie fire, and the farmers had

The accident which happened in pelons
menagerle at the Gingerbread Fair is much
more serious than was at first supposed.
Carrere, a deputy tanner attached to the es-
Enlistment, was putting two e n-y%ear-old
animals, called DArtagnan and Groom,
through their facings. when the hrst-named
brute seized him by the upper part Of tho
right arm. The man endeavoured to catch
the animals n~ostrils with his left hand, when
DArtagnan gashed him f~earfully with one Of
its paws. Pezon rushed to the rescue, and
frightened the lion away by plodding lis
body and firing prstoI-shors. Carrere was
carried out of the cage in a deplorabIe condi-
ton. The lion tore away strips of his flesh,
aud the doctor who was called in declared
the case to be one Of exceptional CAVITY.
While this scene was taking place, Groom.
the other lion. was RENDERED wild by the smell
and sight of blood, and roared furiousIy.
There was a terrible panic among the sp"cta
tors, many of whom ran out of the m%snagerie,
and tbs shrieks Of women and children made
matters worse. Carrere, the wounded ramer.
has been six years in his dangerous profession,
and was fist employed by Pezon sl4 months
ago.

New York, 9Th May.-During the debate
in Committee of the House of Commons on
the Home Rule Bill, Mr.. Gladstone announced
that he had determined to retain the ninth
clause referring to the regulation of the Irish
Imperial delegation in its present form. Mr..
J. Chamberlain stated that he would i'll re-
gular order move the postponement of the
first eight clauses of the Bill, beginning with
the most important. The motion to postpone
the first clause was, however, defeated by 270
to 2l3 votes. During the debate many dila-
tory motions We're brought forward. The
opposition tauntingly criticized the Govern
ment during the discussion. The Irish mem
bers abstained from taking a prominent part
in the proceedings. After a sitting of six
hours the closure was applied.

titles of land in California which
they plant, cultivate, pay taxes for
ten years, paying you $40 per acre
as your part of the profit, they
keeping the balance for the care
and cultivation. They give an
acre of land away with each four
certificates. All they ask you to
do is to pay for the irrigation,
which can be done in small pay
ments each month. They will
send you the names of ninety per-
sons who last year received from
$25 to $500 on one years invest
ment. President Harrison says,
"Half of the good things of Cali
fornia have not been told" The
Hon. Jeremiah Rusk says, "Truly
California is a poor mans para
dise." To fve-acre holders the

Prostitution OF The Federal
Judiciary.

LOUIS pSpupAS.
Senator Platt of Connecticut
fears that if the Federal judiciary
is not treated with more respect
public confidence in it will
be impaired. "It is not wise," he
says, "to attack the judiciary of
the United States; it is not
wise to charge the judiciary with
desiring to usurp power; it is not
wise to intimate that Judges are
czars; it is not wise to talk about
the disposition Of the judiciary to
reduce laborers to the condition of
serfs, aid to speak to them as being
chained like galley slaves to the
oar"
We will not stand on metaphors
but it is wise to tell the truth and
it is true that the Federal Courts
lend themselves readily to the most
odious oppression. The Federal
bench is and it's decisions for the
most part are against manhood
rights and in favor of money
privilege.
We believe it to be fact that
the Federal Courts haveuniformly
decided iii favor of every fraudulent
claim presented to them in the in
terests of speculative capitalists
posing as, innocent third parties"
after the consunmation OF
conspiracies to rob the people by
the issue of swindling bonds. We
know of no case where the decision
has been Oh the side of the people
no matter how great and how
glaringly apparent the fraud. And
in these fraudulent cases Federal
Judges have not hesitated in the
interest of the capitalists they
represented to revive Imprisonment
for debt, throwing County Judges
into prison "for contempt" but
really to extort a settlemeLt
favorable to the fraudulent
Plutocracy that is the power be
hind the Federal bench.
| Now these same Federal Judge!
propose to imprison for contemp
to their authority workingmen. .wht
will not submit to the terms O
railroad corporations. AS it ha
come to be contempt Of th'
Federal bench not to pay
fraudulent debt so Low it is to b.
contempt of the same bench
who is not bound to compulsory
servitude.
Whether it is wise that :thes'
things should be talked abont, le
those who control the Fedora
Courts Judge! Certainly there ii
that in them that is calculated tc
stir the blood, but certainly they
will be talked about as long as The
Federal bench shows so brazenly
that it is the mere agent for de.
claring the will of the Plutocracy
