NEWS FROM IRELAND
The Irish Canadian Maiden.

Inc Irish CANADIAN MAIDEN.
In the land of the North, where the pine
evergreen,
Stands guard DER the mountains with
lordliest mein:
Where the streamers of heaven are
brightest of hue;
And the storm king revels the long win
ter through;
There, where the kings jewels adorn
each glen,
First bloom'd' this bright fower-ma
belle Canadienne.
Though the land of her birth is bleak,
rugged and bold,
cold;
'Tis warm as the summer, yet pure as
the snow,
For rich Irish current runs freely be-
And she'd arm a lover to fight for the
green,
With the patriot glow of an Irish cul-
leen.
Did you hear her but sing the sweet
songs of our land
Sad. lively, or loving, bold, warlille, or
grand
AS the music gushed forth from her soul
you'd declare
That it was not maid but an angel was
there;
No sing-blrd of Erin, in woodland or
glen.
Could rival the voice of ma belle Cana
dienne
With the grace of sweet music she move
thro' each scene
10 the humble child, to the naughty a
queen;
And SO brilliantly sweet are her blue
Irish eyes,
That the stars must be jealous above in
the skies,
AS tenderness, pity and purity shine
From the depths of her soul through
those orbs SO divine.
I've seen her eye sparkle when Erin's
dear name
Was spoken with love (none dare men
ton to blame.)
I've seen her bright features Indignantly
glow, o!.ipG
When reading that story of centuries of
woe. 81
Oh! there never lafs' 3 1 daughter of true
Irishmen
With more IRISH heart than ma belle
Canadienne. :.
d;lt
Sweet maid Of the North! may no
gloomy clouds lower
Above the bright pathway, till life's lat
est hour;ss u
May the flowers in thy breast when life's
even comes on,
Be still fragtanntsaand fresh as they
bloomed atythe dawn:
And ere the noon comes, may thy sweet
voice to me /.
Sing the glories of1Erin. triumphant and
free!

steriIixing Water without Heat.

Charleston News and Courler)
A short time before the war we re-
printed from tho Popular Science News
plan for steriliZlng water which, per-
haps is worthy of especial considera-
ton and investigation on the part Of the
military authorities.
Professor Bilslik, according TO the Jour
nal named, was its authority for the
statement that water may be sterillZed In
five minutes by simply adding to it bro
mine, and the bromine may thus be neu-
tralized by adding ammonia. Two hln-
dred tests of the plan, IL was further
stated, had been made with the river
water at Berlin. land all germs OF disease.
including those of typhoid and cholera"
were found to be destroyed. To sterilize
one gallon OF water, IL was explained,
three drops OF a solution OF 100 parts
water, 20 parts bromine, and 10 parts pota-
stun bromide" are dropped into IL. and
after five minutes drops of per cent.
solution of ammonia"
The plan is simple enough, cheap
enough, and convenient enough for use
anywhere and everywhere and at oil
times, in city country, and camp, and
even on the march. IL six drops OF the
two fluids Will sterilize a gallon OF water,
a canteen full OF il should steriiiZe all
the drinking water used by company
for a month or two. II the process OF
sterilization and naturalization takes only
five or ten minutes, IL is quicker than
boiling the water, and can be employed

would not be pTacticable-as on march
on nickel, on railroad trains, and even or
the battlefield. And bad water. 1t Is to b'
remarked, is bad everywhere, and one
dose of it all round might serve to plant
the seeds OF fever or dysentery in

Correspondence of the Associated PressD
MADRID, May 3t.-Careful watch is
kept over the movements of ministers by
newspaper men, in the hope of cleaning
some grains OF Information therefrom.
The Duke de Almodovar and Senior
Aunon caused quite a fiutter by calling
together, late at night, on Senior Sagasta.
The two ministers were carefully stalked
on leaving the Premier's house. where
they had been closeted with him for half
an hour, but the only information that
they gave was that their mission had
been one of mercy, they having called
10 secure the good offices OF the Premier
to obtain the Queens pardon for a muir
derer. who is to be executed In Cadiz to-
morrow.
1t is said their efforts have been un-
ayailing as this is the second time the
culprit has been condemned to death.
The greatest horror and distress reign
at Cadiz at the idea OF an execution TAX
ing place there. The local carpenters re-
fused TO put up the scaffold, and men
have had to be brought into the town
to perform the loathed job.
Senior Sagasta has SO far succeeded In
staving Off auE further crisis, Senior
Gamazo periodically declining to make
mischief by urging his financial views in
opposition TO those of the Minister OF
Finance, Senior Puigcerver. but there is
strong Telling that the present Cabinet
will crumble away at the first bad news
received. Everything points TO Senior
Silvela as the coming man, though q
military Cabinet may be necessary first
to suppress the elements of disorder,

Is near starvation.
The Madrid papers continue TO profess
ignorance Of the actual position Of Ad-
miral Cervera's squadron.
sAGAsTA CABINET DOOMED.
So far, Senior Sagasta has been able
to keep the peace between his ministers
Of Public Works and Finance, thus bear
ing out what he said in the interview
already sent, some days ago, but no one
considers that the present Cabinet has
any lasting power. The silver question
is likely to give it further shake
Starvation riots have again broken
out in the province OF Murcia, and by
all accounts they must soon occur on q
large scale in Catalonia. Everything
points to a disturbed state Of affairs al
