AMNESTY MEETING IN DUBLIN.  An amnesty meeting, which was preceded by a procession through the streets, was held on Sunday afternnon in the Phcenix Park, and was largely attended. There were six platforms. Mr. P. O'Brien, who presided at the principal one, said that when Mr. Morley threw out the bait of amnesty in the Leinster-hall he had learnt the feeling of the people of Dublin on the subject. If Mr. Morley Jid not see his way to release the Irishmen who were in English prisons for political offences, their fellow-countrymen in Newcastle would release him from his responsibilities. Letters of apology were read from the Lord Mayor, Dr. Kenny, M. P., Mr. Clancy, M.P., Mr. W. Redmond, and Archbishop Walsh. His Grace enclosed a subscription for £5, and expressed sympathy with the object of the meeting. He declared that the case of the prisoners should be widely proclaimed. Two Labour leaders, Mr. Sheilds and Mr. Canty, stated that they had been offered bombs by a Frenchman in Dublin which, if they had accepted them, would have exposed them to imprisonment in Portland or some other English prison; but they would adhere to their own policy.—Mr. Harrington, M. P., said that with the crimes with which the prisoners were charged they had no sympathy, but the plank on which they stood on the amnesty platform was that, whether they were guilty or innocent, their crimes had been expiated by their imprisonment. He would respect the Government which said these men were in prison because they deserved to be there, but he had nothing but loathing and contempt for the Governmot which said they should be released, but they were afraid to release them. The Government professed to be in sympathy with Ireland, and said they were ruling the country according to Irish ideas; but such a Government were liars if they inflicted any further imprisonment on the prisoners.—Mr. Field, M. P., also spoke, and a resolution demanding amnesty was simultaneously passed at all the platforms.  A terrible suicide has been committed at Annecy (France). A navvy, occupied on the works of • new railway, put a dynamite cartridge into his mouth and exploded it. His head was blown to atoms. Mr. Herbert Ward states that all the tribes residing about the Congo are ready speakers, fiery in expression, adepts in the use of metaphor, clear in reasoning, and alert in debate. The sonorous effect of their speech is greatly aided by the soft inflections and harmoniois euphony of their language. It Is common for the speaker to hold in his hand • number of small sticks, each representing a pre-considered point of his argument. Each point is subsequently emphasised by selecting and placing one of 11W/0 sticks on the ground.  Artificial Teeth exquisitely fitted.
