Bright Irish Wit.

Lord Waterford used to tell some
good stories of his experience as an
Irish magistrate. One of them referred
to the case of woman whom he had
to sentence for breach of the peace.
He let her off on condition that she
found two securities in G10 each that
she would keep the peace for six
months. THANK We, my lard" said
che, moving toward the door. No, no, I"
said Lord Waterford, "you must name
your securities, that ! may see whether
they arc satisfactory" Faith, ard
who would name" she answered, "but
your lordship's self; yer good enough
for two"-a retort which not only
showed the sprightliness of the Irish
character, but in addition the feeling
of friendly confidence which the Irish
peasantry who knew him cherished for

FORMER NAVAL TAcTlcs.
The English Destroyed the Encmy, the
French Preserved Their Ships.

The Enxllsh Destroyed the Encmy, the
French Preserved Their Ships.
The line of battle simply meant that,
upon coming in touch of an enemy, an
admiral formed his feet in one long
line, in which each ship followed in the
wake of the one Immediately preceding
It. at a sufficient distance to allow room
for maneuyering. In this order the
two fleets ranged alongside OF one an
other, discharging their broadsides as
they passed, until one line was thrown
into confusion, whereupon the COM
mander of the other hauled down his
signal for ''line head" and hoisted
that for general chase" which
meant that his ships were to close with
those of the enemy, and finish the bust
ness with the grappling-iron and the
| cutlass. This was naval battle IN
theory; and supposing the antagonists
really in earnest, the theory was capable
( of being converted into extremely good
practice, but in the 18th century that
was just what the French rarely were.
The tradition of the English service was
| that a commander should destroy his
enemy's ships; the French, that ne
should preserve his own. Consequent
Nv. a French admiral would never ac-
cept battle until he had gained posi-
ton in which he could, at any moment,
trun out of action before the wind, AID
as an English admiral would never
break his own line to force him, most
notions ended in the fleets defiling past
one another, the French bringing
down the English spars, the English
hulling the French with every shot, un
ill the French, having, as they consid
cred, made pursuit impossible, put
suddenly about and ran before the vino
to fulfil their destiny of living to fgh'
another day.
OF course, 1t was always open to &c
termined officer to disregard 1.-THE lint

only one way to cure deafness, and that Is

caused by an infiamed condition of the mu-

this tube gets inflamed you have rumbiing
sound or imperfect hearing, ana wnen !. -
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con-

A great revolution has been sffec-
ted this week in the conditions
which control business. 1t could
not be in any fair degree reflected
an yet in transactions or in records,
but there is ample evidence already
that crushing weight has been
lifted and rolled away, and the
business world has begun to adjust
itself to state Of freedom and Sc
curity which 1t has not known for
years. Dread of immsasurabie dis
aster no longer locks up resources
and paralyzes enterprise, and new
contracts involving many millions
have become binding since the
election. The rush for stocks on,
Wednesday lifted the average for
all railways $l.l6 per share in a
single day and Trust stocks $l.54,
and In many of the most active the
advance was so sudden that heavy
sales for realizing caused some re-
action. The wild advance of over
8 cts. in wheat on Monday and
Wednesday was also followed by
realizing and decline of Thursday.
But the instant vanishing of the
premium on gold, which had
reached about per cent, the I'M
locking of many millions which
had been boarded, the collapse Of
the interest rate from s and IL to s
and 51a per cent, and the quick
demand for American securities on
foreign account, are signs of more
lasting promise. The lifting of the
load Of peril and Of fear, all men
know, means an incalculable relief
for all industry and trade.-Dun's
Review.
