Indications are not wanting that the
present winter will be hard and dis
tressing one on the laborin classes. On
December %, at Mas Union, a work
man, to whose Industrious habits the

he could not get employment. The clerk
stated that there were forty or fifty more

Mr. We're Foster, the well-known phil
snthropist and educationist, whose name
and good works have been familiar to
the readers of the Irish American" for
the last forty years, recently subscribed
e25 in aid Of the building fund Of the
Mater Intirmorum Hospital, Belfast,
which is rapidly approaching compile
ton. Mr.. Foster says that in so doing,
he is giving helping hand to all ex-
ceilent charity and stimulating "a gen

Royal Hospital"
The Belfast Harbor Police are under
the control of the Belfast Harbor Com

exclusive franchise. Out of total of
81 constables, only three are Catholics.
Recently seven or eight new appoint

4 There came along 4 iniativ s
jackson Democrats Of those ttiinIes. wllls,
if alive, which is improbable, is still yot--
ing for Jackson. He wore coon-slkin
cap, hunting shirt and other things,
among them rifle of the long. old
fashioned Kentucky variety. Speaking
to Prentice, he said: .gSS
you're writin' Clay's life, amt YET" "a
| eyes," replied Prentice. # .
"Well, want you to write my life, and
do it monst'ous quick, too" he said, with
a nenacing glance at his lengthy weapon.
Suddenly Prentice snatched from be-
hind the tree his shotgun, and, leveling
it, full cooked, in the face of the intruder,
he said:
Il won't write your life, but I'll take
it if you don't leave here"
The fellow protested that he was just
joking, fell into good -natured- COM
pliment upon Prentice's good looks,
"lowed" he was game" and the two
parted OH quite friendly terms.
"But I was not game" Mr.. Prentice
said to the writer after telling the afore-
going story. II always knew that if l
wanted to stay in Kentucky in my bust
ness I must show fight, and though ! am
NATURALLY tin,id did show fight, and that
show has saved me from many diff
Guilty"
Prentice is often spoken OF as duellist,
but I don't think he ever fought duel,
though he was frequently challenged.
He went to Arkansas once to fight a
duel, but the affair was adjusted in sat-
isfactory way before the principals met
on the field. Generally he got out of
duels with a joke On one occasion he
said in response to an invitation to thus
make target of himself: 1T takes only
one fool to send challenge, but it takes
two to fight, and 1 beg to be omitted
from the category" Frequently, how
ever, he was suddenly brought into per-
sonal encounters from which he always
emerged with full credit and honor to
himself Once, for instance, Frankfort
editor fired at him with pistol in a
Louisville street. Prentice closed with
the man and had him down with knife
brandished above him. Some bystanders
shouted: Kill the scoundrel!' Cut
his head off, and the like, but Prentice
put away his knife, remarking as he did
so: Il can't kill all unarmed man." and
allowed his foe to arise; the two after
ward becoming close friends. In such
matters Prentice of Louisville was unlike
Prentiss of Vicksburg, for the latter was
nearly always spelling for fight" and
would shoot 'at the drop Of hat" It
is said of him, and with good authority,
believe, that Prentiss would leave a
hand at game of poker to go out and
exchange shots with persons who liked
that sort of diversion, and would then
come back and take up his cards to see
if he could "open jack pot" whatever
that is.

CLARE.

Aillaloe correspondent states that
the unusually bad harvest in that dis
trict has left the tenant farmers In an
almost hopeless condition. The hay
crop in the 1ow-lying district near the
Shannon is absolutely unfit for feed
ing purposes, and even the after-grass
has been rendered useless by deposits of
sand left by the foods, so that the farm
ers will find themselves in a sorry plight
during the course of the coming spring.
They are already on the eve Of bankrupt
cy. The farmers universally state that
they have not experienced such bad
season for the past fifteen years. But
though the condition of the farmers is
anything but good, the condition of the
laborers is sad in the extreme. for they
are left without work-their only re-

Two FAMOUS MEN.
One Great Journalist, the Other
a Great Orator.

A great many people unwitting1y con-
| fuse George D. Prentice of the Louis
vile Journal with Sargent S. Prentiss of
Mississippi. Both were natives of New
England and in many points Of character
they resembled each other, though they
differed as widely as the poles in others,
says an exchange. Prentice went to
Kentucky to write biography of Henry
! Clay when that wonderful man was
about to become candidate for presi-
dent. Prentiss went to Mississippi when
little more than boys then. One be-
came great journalist, the other great
orator. The Life of Henry Clay was
written at Lexington, KY, and at Olyn-
plan Springs, a rural resort in the noun
tains of Eastern Kentucky, then owned
by Clay.
The work was done in such an incred-
IDLY short space of time and SO perfectly
that Prentiss at once became d lion, and
the Wings put up" for him the Louis
vile Journal. At that time Shadrach
Penn was the editor OF the Advertiser,
the Democratic organ in Louisville, and
PENIS friends predicted that he would
make short work Of the Yankee boy
But he didno't. Prentiss made short
work of him. At the start Prentice an
work of him. AT the scarf Prentice an
nounced that he had quilts of all sizes in
his culver from the humming birds
wing to the eagles, and persons could
choose which he should use OF them.
Penn chose the eagle and Prentice gave
it to him. For time such polemic war
was waged between those giants that
people stood almost aghast, but after
about nine years Penn threw down his
weapons and quit He went to St. Louis
shortly afterward and died. Upon PENIS
departure from Louisville Prentice wrote
an article so magnanin1ous and beautiful
concerning his ancient enemy that its
kind has never been excelled except
when he wrote of PENIS death.
While Prentice was working on his
life of Clay at Olympia Springs one day
at fayorite spot in the forest, near a
great shalybcate spring, he was resting
under huge chestnut tree that is stand
ing to this day, and is called Prentice
chestnut with manuscript and pencil in
hand. Leaning against the tree back Of

Homesick.

SO, I want to go to Frisco, an I want to
go to stay,
For there LIES worth livin', and workins
:s5s n, jest like play;
There the golden poppy's bloomin', an
the fruit is on the vine,
An the breezes from the ocean are as
good as any wine.
An out there, if 1 remember now, the
. skys bluer blue,
An the flowers that are bloomin' are OF
brighter hue,
An the birds somehow sing sweeter, an
in different way,
An the clin,ate,-well, it's perfect,-most
every month is May.
An your friends stan by you better, least
so it seems to me,
An you have kind of feelin' so good
an loose and free,
That when once man has felt it, no
matter where he strays,
He loves the Frisco people and the FRS
co peoples ways.
I've been a powerful loaier, an roamer
in my day.
Yet l have found few places where a fell
Ter cared to stay,
But there's something bout old Frisco
must be something in the aid
That keeps me jest a-longin' an along
in to be there.
An I'll never rest contented nor be hap
Ply any more,
Till Tin where the old Pacific goes to
pieces on the Shore
There man forgets to worry, and his
troubles small and great
Like the white winged ships go stealln
out through the Golden Gate.
