GOIdsmith's HerOines.

1t was the age OF moral sentiments, and
to have them Ut hand was the sovereign
est thing against temptation from With
oft and within. Heroines used to e1-
press them whenever the ieast danger
threatened and sometimes when they
were In perfect safety. Under instruc-
lions of the good Samuel Richardson they
sought the welfare Of themselves, their
lovers and their correspondents In formu-
laries prescribing the virtues for every
exiGency and praising right conduct with
a consistency which ought TO have availed
rather more promptly than it did. But
neither of the girls in The Vicar Of
Wakefield" is very profuse Of them, and
this marks either laspsing faith in their
efficacy or rising art in the novelist.
Goldsmith, ut any rate, confines the
precepts and reflections to the father of
his hcroines. rs he might fifty do in the
case Of the supposed narrator. Richard

novels. obliges his heroines to make them.
Yet he was great master and in spite of
his preaching II great artist. Hewas man
of middle class conscience, and In an age
not so corrupt as some former ages, but
still of abominable social usages, he
could not withhold the protest Of q

OUR IRISH lEAVEN.
Ehey Range From Street Sweepers
to MilIiOnaires.

Industrially the foreign element in
America has been very important. More
than 80 per cent of the immigrants who
have come and are coming to this country
are industrious and sober. They come to
better their fortunes, and they set about
doing it with great energy. The railroads
and great public works in this country
used to be built by Irish laborers. am
speaking in general terms. Without them
we would not have been able to make the
great progress which justifes us in be-
leving that our growth in wealth during
the past 80 years is more marvellous than
anything the world has previously seen.
But the Irish have found other occupa-
tons, In which they can crafty their gre
garious instincts, develop their wonderful
talent for political organization and in
large and small ways enjoy the independ-
ence to spend and to accumulate which
was denied to them for so long at home.
They have therefore settled in great
measure in the cities and taken up the
occupations that in such places are open
to them. These occupations range all the
way from street sweeping to millionaire
fnapciering and include cab driving. car
driving. being porters, harkeepers, clerks,
merchants, doctors, faUyers ami editors.
As professional politicians they have had
no peers IN the history Of the world.
They may be said to have a genius for
politics.
And the Irish who have not fo0ked to
the towns are doing remarkably well.
They are farmers all over the country,
and their success in the north Atlantic
division Of the country, OIL farms that
were no longer profitable under native
management, has been most notable. As
husbandmen they are frugal without be-
ing niggardly Their remarkable political
strength is due to the fact that they have
kept together when it came to voting
more consistently than any other people.
Thackeray says somewhere. his observa-
ton being Of the Irish in London, that
there never was an Irishman so poor that
he did not have another Irishman who
looked to him for employment and sup
port. This was tribute to their loyalty,
their friendlness and generosity.-Ains-

who, coming uninjured out of railroad

less fortunate fellow passengers. All the
time he was at work, however, he held
one hand to his collar, and when it was
over one of his companions discovered
that he was holding tight to his necktie,
which he had been in the act of tying
when the collision occurred.

came up once, tried to scream, but the
water choked her, and down she went
again. A man who was lounging in the
gallery surrounding the pool, realizing
that something was wrong, jumped in,

was none too soon, for she was uncon-

General Grant" said the colonel, twas
q close observer of men and horses. His
eye went over the horses of an artillery
company or of a cavalry regiment light
ing up wirh appreciation of the soldierly
quality of horses as well as the soldierly
quality of men. After the surrender ut
APPROXIMATION instinctively his sympathies
went out TO the Confederates who owned
and were attached to their horses, and
one of the first things he thought of was
some scheme by which the men might be
permitted to take their horses home. /
don't believe there is an old cavalryman
that served i'll the Confederate service
but warmed to General Grant from that
minute.
Il have always thought that General
Grants influence had much to do with
inaugurating the policy that permitted
many of our own cavalry and artillery
men to smuggle home or to purchase at a
mere song favorite horses or company
pets. In one case know that he openly
encouraged the nlen of an artillery COM
pany to carry home bay mare that had
won u peculiar reputation. There was
not 4 finer looking mare in any artillery
company than Bay Bet. She was pur-
chased on her good looks and her spirit,
but she had never been harnessed, and
she would not work in team. She caused
SO much trouble that she was finally as
signed to one of the officers as Il riding
horse. In weeks and months of service
she developed tie genuine dramatic bat
tie spirit. She carried herself as finely
ne any horse in the service
son one occasion, when Il good many
of the horses were shot, the captain as u
last resort ordered that Bay Bet be put
into harness, that the guns might be
dragged to Il new position. Every one
expected to see trouble, but Bet accepted
the situation, and we whirled to the new
line with the mare showing as finely as
she would in cavalry charge. The boys
cheered and cheered her, and the Con-
federates probably supposed that the
cheers meant victory on some part of the
line. After that Bay Bet was one Of the
most seryiccable horses in the company,
but she would never bear a whip.
"She was taken home and for some
months was allowed to play about the
farm at Id will. In the fall it was de-
cided to use her in blowing. She took
to the harness well enough, little skit-
fish over the pillow, but went to work like
an old stager. But early in the day the
man driving the team struck her with a
whip. She was furious OH the instant
and ran away, dragging the plow and the
old farm horse after her across the field
in the style of Il cavalry horse careering
to the front, struck snag Of tree pro-
jecting from the ground and killed her.
