In q recently published essay, Dr..
Douglas Hyde suggests some methods Of
maintaining the Irish LANGUAGE: I'VE
can, however, insist" he says, "and We,
shall insist it Home Rnle be carried, that
the Irish language, which so many for
eign scholars Of the first calibre find 60
worthy Of study, shall be placed on q par
with-or even above Greek, Latin and
modern languages IN all examinations
held under the Irish government. We
can also insist, and we shall insist, that
in those baronies where the children
speak Irish, Irish shall be taught, and
that Irish speaking schoolmasters, petty
session clerks aud even Magistrates be
appointed in Irish speaking DISTRICTS

The women of Corea wear huge trous-
ers, padded up inside with cotton wool,
ana socks similarly padded, which are
fastened tight around the ankles to the
trousers. Over these is shortish skirt
tied very high over the waist; and tiny
jacket, generally white, red or green,
completes the wardrobe of most Corean
women. The hair very simply made
up, plaetered down and tied into knot
at the back of the head. A silver pin or
two are sometimes worn in it as an adorn-
ment. Young girls and old women often
wear curious fur cap. It has hole in
the center and two long silk ribbons ut
the back. 1t has the shape of section
of a cone, and when smartly worn it is
becoming.

The Democratic party stands in the
state of New York as it has ever stood,
for that religious liberty which is guar
anteed by our constitution, and I arraign
the Republican party for its covert sym
pathy with and encouragement Of the
proscriptive spirit which attempts to set
up religious test as q qualification for
official preferment in this land of the
free, and which is propagated by cer-
tain political organization which deserves
execration at the hands of every fair
minded man, but which the Republican
state convention last week distinctly re-
fused, though earnestly urged, to con-
denim. Our duty is plain. and / believe
we ehall perform it, and if, perchance,
adherence to the right brings disaster,
we shall brave]y accept our fate and take
our place in private stations by the side
of our prescribed fellow citizens until rea-
son, justice and true religious freedom
shall resume their sway, as surely they
will. Such we're the words of Senator
David B. Hill at the Saratoga convention.

Upon one occasion Webster sang in
public. Tt was when Jenny Lind was in
this country and was singing at the old
National Theatre in Washington. Web
ster and some of his friends were present
in one of the boxes next to tue stage.
They had just come from dinner where
the wine had flowed freely, and Webster
was under. the inspiration. The sweet
songstrees was rapturously encored, and
by no one more heartily or conspicuously
than by Mr.. Webster. She recognized
his applause, and in response to one of
the encores and out of compliment to
him she sang "The Star SpanRled Bar
ner." This was more than Webster's
inspired soul could listen to and keep
silent, and in the midst Of the song his
bass voice was heard rising ia concert
with the glorious soprano of the prima
donna. The audience instantly burst
into furious applause, the fair songstress
courtesitd to M. Webster, and Webster,
rising in his box, bowed to the cantatrice.
The applause and the exchange of
obeisances contin ued for several minutes,
It was like contest of courteeiee between
Olympian Jove and the Muse of Song.
The scene was one never to be forgotten.
