Celt or Saxon.
Ed. Journal : I ha been inter
estod in tho temperate and judicious
articles of Mr. James Kay on the
Irish Questiou, but thereja one point
of fact as to which I should doubt
whether he was quite right. If I
understand him, he is inclined to
think that by the time of James the
First the Saxons (and Normans) in
Ireland were nearly equal in number
to the proper Irish. He appealB for
confirmation of this opinion to the
commonness of Saxon names. It
has probably escaped his attention,
that in the reigu of James the First
au act was passed, requiring the
Irish, at least within the English
pale,to give up their Celtic patronym
ics, and assume some common
-pn.i:ai. namp ennh as White, or
" f rnwn. or Johnson, or the like. Of
course this act was very imperfectly
carried out, and like the act abolish
ing the name of MacGregor, fell
ultimately into entire neglect; but
it will 6erve to show how Saxon
names, by thousands, might be as
sumed by purely Celtic families.
The relative proportions of the
two religions in Ireland would sup
port the same view. Apart from the
Gorman noble3 and their retainers,
who came in with and before De
. Bourgo, the main British immigra
tion into Ireland took place after the
Reformation ; and while the Saxons,
whether Scotch or English, had
small inducements to turn Catholic,
the Milesians had powerful induce
ments of interest to turn Protestant,
which, however appear to have had
little effect, except among the great
families. We may therefore pre
sume the Irish Catholics to be almost
as of course Celtic, and the Irish
Protestauts, Saxon, or at least Brit
ish. This would give at least three
fourths of the true Irish, reckoning
in the old English of the Pale, who
were settled there before the Refor
mation, and who cast in their for
tunes with the origiual inhabitants.
There is one clement of doubt,
however. The Scotch Highlanders,
as we know, are Irish, as Ireland
was the original Scotia. And a
great many of them have remained
Catholic. How large an immigra
tion there was of them back among
their kindred, is a question. Their
uames, of course, would be very
much the same as those of the Irish
proper. But 60 many of tho High
land names have been transplanted
to the Lowlands, that it is often hard
to Bay whether a North Irish Pro
testant family iB originally from
Scotland, or is of the native stock.
Yet on the whole, as an Irish gen
tleman once remarked to me, in
Ireland, religion is still a pretty
good criterion of race. And that
would make the true Irish over
whelmingly more numerous than
the desceudonts of the immigrants
who came in after Henry the Eighth
had exchanged his title of Lord of
Ireland for King of Ireland.
Perhaps our friend Judge Higgius
would favor us with some papers
respecting the exact ethnology of
Irelaud. As one in whose veins, as
well as name, Irish Celt and English
Teuton are commingled, I should be
very much interested in the dis
cuseion. Charles Casky Starbuck.

Thomas Carlyle.
West Hill, Neb., Feb. 14. '81.
Ed. Journal: Having for some
months been almost momentarily
looking for the intelligence of the
death of Thomas Carlyle, I was
hardly surprised when I saw the ac
count of it in last week's Journal.
Having always been an ardent ad
mirer of his, deem it not out of
place to offer a few Hues in regard
to him and his life to the readers of
the Journal ; realiziug, though, that
few, perhaps none of them, are so
interested in any thing pertaining to
this great and good man as myself.
Thomas Carlyle was born Decem
ber 4, 1795, and consequently at the
time of his death was more than 85
years of age. Ho was one of those
meu whom Scotland delights to hon
or, and who was, is now, aud ever
will bo an honor to Scotland ; and
not to Scotlaud only, but to the
whole world, and the age in which
he lived. We know comparatively
little of his life, for it is one of our
great disadvantages, as with the
contemporaries of other great men,
that we are not so well situated for
knowing him and forming a true es
timate of his character and real
worth as will be subsequent genera
tions. Mr. Carlyle entered Edinburg
University before he had completed
his fifteenth year, and studied, I be
lieve, with the intention of entering
the ministry, in accordance with the
wishes of his father, but a change of
views when he was twenty-one
made this impracticable. Iu 1818
we find him in Edinburgh with his
lite-work still unchosen, but with
decided leanings toward literature.
He married in 1826 and in 1S2S set
tled in Dumfriesshire on an estate be
longing to his wife. Here his whole
time was giveu to literature, aud it
was while iu this place that he wrote
"Sartor Resartus" and the remarka
ble essay on Robert Burns. Between
the years 1837-40 Carlyle attained
considerable eminence as a lecturer,
and a portion of his lectures deliv
ered during that time have been
published. Notwithstanding his
success in this direction, his extreme
modesty and natural timidity caus
ed him to disUke the lecture field,
and only once since 1S40 do we fiud
him appearing in public. This was
in lSGfi when he addressed the Ed
inburgh students. For many years
he had serious doubts of having
gained tho ear of the people to any
considerable extont, aud of "The
French Revolution," one of his great
est works, we find him saying
"What its effect on the public was
I know not, and know not, but re
member well and may be here per
mitted to acknowledge the deep, si
lent joy, not of a weak or ignoble
nature, which it gave to myself in
my then mood and situation ; as it
well might."
As many of your readers doubt
less know the manuscript of "The
French Revolution" was destroyed
before going to the printers. Car
lyle was well nigh disheartened, but
in about five months finished a sec
ond manuscript. Whether this lat
ter effort was as good asaho former
we do not know, and we might well
think Carlyle himself was in doubt.
To Thomas Aird who met him in
Dumfriesshire after the labor was
completed, he expressed his opinion
that the second effort was better
than the first; but some time since
when in conversation with a corres
pondent of the World, of London,
he remarked of the work, "1 set to
and wrote it all over again," but in a
melancholy tone concluded "I dinna
think its the same; no, I dinna think
its the same." Be it the same or
not, we know for a certainty that
these historical works utterly trans
cend anything of the kind produced
during the same period ; and indeed
it were hard to find their equal in
auy day. Hi3 works will be handed
down to posterity, even apart from
their literary excellencies as the hon
est productions of a diligent hand.
I remember having road an anec
dote of him which shows clearly
how accurate and painstaking he
was. I was 60 much impressed with
it that I took it down in my uotc
book and give it here as I read it.
It was during the first reprint of his
miscellanies. Coming one day
from his printers in Charing Cross,
he was laughing prodigiously, hav
ing enjoyed the following joke all
the way trom the printing otlice. In
urging on the printer, that worthy
had replied : "Why, fair, you arc so
very hard upou us with your correc
tions I . They take so much time you
see." The author urged the plea
that he must be accustomed to that
sort of thing, aud that he had got
such work done in Scotland. "Yes,
indeed, sir, interrupted the printer,
we are aware of that. We have a
man here from Edinburgh, and when
he took np a bit of your copy he
dropped it, as if it had burnt his
fingers and cried out : "Mercy on
us, have you got that man to print
for? Lord knows when we Bhall
get done with all his corrections!"
But he is gone gone to meet her
whom he loved sae dearly" and by
whose death he said, the lamp of his
life is gone clean out. His form
now lies in the ancient grave yard
he visited so frequently; and he
rests by the side of her over whose
grave he so often knelt, and the sods
of which he wet with his tears and
covered with his kisses. Peace to
his memory. T. L. H.
The Future of the Republic
Trom a Lecture ly Kalpb
Waldo EmentoH.
It is certain that our civilization
is yet incomplete. It is not a ques
tion of whether there shall be a mul
titude of people here. That is
settled. But shall we, the new na
tion, be the guide and lawgiver of
all nations as having clearly chosen,
aud (Irmly held, tho simplest and
best rule of society ? To buy and
import much from England and Eu
rope does not make us better men.
Every town has its cottages, its
fashions, its church, from Eugland.
America is provincial. It is an im
mense Halifax. Laughter and ap
plause. Our politics threaten Eng
land, aud her manners threaten us.
Our tendency is to make men all
alike, and extinguish the individual.
The builders of London gave you
your houses, aud the Bishops of
London your faith. Laughter.
Thus we find that often the passion
lor Europe casts out the passion for
America; they, for whom London
and Paris have spoiled their own
homes, can well be spared to return
to those cities. I can not only see
room for more genius thau we have
here, but for more than we have in
the world. Our young men lack
idealism. A man, to be a success,
must not be a pure idealist, but ho
must have ideas. He does not want
to be sun-dazzled or sun-blind, but
he must have glimmer enough to
keep him from knocking bis head
against the wall. We want men
of originality, with their ideas wider
thau their nationality, and taking in
the intereBtB of the race and of civ
ilization. We need men of moral
and elastic minds, who can live in
the moment aud take a step forward.
Columbus was not a backward feel
ing crab, nor was Martin Lutber,nor
John Adams, nor Patrick Henry,
nor Thomas Jefferson.
The genius and destiny of Amer
ica is not sluggard, but is an inces
saut advance, like the hand on the
dial's face aud tho heavenly bodies
by which it is moved. The flower
of civilization is the finished man ;
the man of sense, of accomplish
ment, of social power, a gentleman.
What hinders that he be born here?
The new times need the new man,
the complemental man, whom plain
ly this country; must bring forth.
Mortality is the object of govern
ment. Wo want a state of things in
which crime will not pay, which al
lows every man tho largest liberty
compatible with the liberty of every
other man. I hope America will
come to have its pride in having a
nation of servants aud not a nation
of served ; whore ovory man cau say,
"I serve; I apply my faculty to the
whole extent of my power to tho
service of maukind in my especial
place." He thereby shows a reasou
for being in the world, and that he
is not au incumbrance. Applause.
But the helm is given to a better
guidance than our own, aud, seeing
how that guidance has rested on this
Union thus far, I have good confi
dence for the future. I feel that iu
all directions the light is break
ing; that trade and government will
not lose by the overthrow of the
enemies of mankind ; that the useful
and the elegant arts will be exer
cised within us as a nation, that the
reason, the noblest affections and the
purest religion will find their abid
ing home in our institutions. Loud
applause.
Children and Music.
Let no child be taught music who
has not a natural appetite for it.
Decided muBical talent generally
shows itself early. Many children
sing before they can speak. I have
written down with the date affixed,
so that there can be no mistake,
more than one actual tune invented
and sung by a small person of three
years old. But the negative to these
positive instances, is less easily as
certained. The musical, like anoth
er faculty, developes more or less
rapidly, according to the atmos
phere it grows in.
And there is always a certain pe
riod of "griud" so very distasteful
that many a child will declare it
"hates muBic," and wish to give it
up, wheu a little perseverance would
mako of it an excellent musician. I
am no cultivated musician -I wish
with all my heart the hard work of
lifo had allowed me to bo but 1
feel grateful now for having boen
compelled, three times over, amid
many tears, to "learn my notes,"
which was uearly all the instruction
destiny ever vouchsafed me. Nev
ertheless I believe I did a good deed
the other day.
A mother said to me, "My child
is thirteen and has been working at
music ever .since she was seven .
She has no ear and no taste. If she
plays a false note sho never knowt
it. Yet Bhe practices very consci
entiously two houra each day. What
must I do?" My answer was brief:
"Shut the piano, and never let her
open it more. " The advice was ta
ken, and the girl, who now spends
that unhappy two hours upon other
things, especially drawing, in which
she is very dilligent and very clever,
would doubtless bless me in her
heart if she knew all. But tho love
of music, which she had not, often
exists without great talent for it.
Still, in such cases cultivation can
do much. Many vocalists, profes
sional and otherwise, have begun by
being vox et prceterea nihil, that is
possessing a flue organ, but no skill
in using it.
While, on the other hand, many
delightful singers I recall especial
ly Thomas Moore and Sheridan
Knowles may have had scarcely
auy voice at all. The expression,
the taste, the reading of a song, are
as essential and delightful as the
voice to sing it with ; and these last
long after nature's slow but inevita
ble decay has takeu nway what to a
singer is always a sore thing to part
with, so sore that many are very
long far too long iu recognizing
this. Sadder to themselves than to
their listeners is the discovery that
now, when they really know how
to sing a song, they have not the
physical power of singiug it.
The Silent Woman of .Mon
tana. On Willow creek resides a woman
who for fifteen years, except on one
occasion, has not uttered a word.
In 18(55 she was relentlessly forbid -den
by her parents to marry the
man of her choice. Soon after this
the family moved to Montana, aud
since the day of thoir starting, the
young lady, now grown to a woman
of 30 years, has not articulated as
much as half a dozeu words. Her
loug silence is attributed to intense
and abiding indignation at the cru
elty of her parents, aud probably
conceiving words to be useless aud
inadequate to oxpress tho poignancy
of her suffering, she concluded nev
er to speak again, aresolutiou which
she has adhered to so far with re
markable tenacity. She lives with
her parents, occupies a room by her
self, refuses to see strangers, and to
all intents and purposes is absolute
ly dumb. Her memory is strong
and accurate for one who neither
talks nor reads nor takes other in
tellectual exercises. Through the
partition in her room she will some
times listen to the conversatiou of
those in tho adjoining apartment,
and occasionally, several days after
it has taken place, it will be found
on paper in her room, written out.
There is no doubt of her ability to
speak. Butte Mirier.
The happiness of your life depends
upon the quality of your thoughts;
therefore, guard accordingly, and
take care that yon entertain no no
tions unsuitable to virtue and un
reasonable to nature.
Training: Children.
The great bluudur which almost
all parents aud nursemaids commit
is that when the child takes a whim
against doing what he is wanted to
do will not eat his bread aud but
ter, will not go out, not come to his
lesions, etc., they, so to speak, lay
hold to his hind leg and drag him to
his duties ; whereas, a porou of tact
will almost always distract the
child's attention from its own obsti
nacy, and iu a few minutes lead it
gently round to submission. We
know that mauy persons would
think it wrong not to break down a
child's self-will by main force, to
come to battle with him and show
him that he is the weaker vessel;
but our conviction is that struggles
only teud to make hi3 self-will more
robust. If you can skillfully man
age to delay the dispute for a few
minutes and get his thoughts off the
excitement of tho contest, testoone
he will give in quite cheerfully ; and
this is far better tor him than tears
and punishment.
The Ite.st DoughHuttt.
The doughnut has been favorably
mentioned in literature, aud it fills
au honored place iu our memories
of childhood; but tho doughnut
which is rolled iu pulverized sugar
and which has a raisin iu the centei,
possesses au ideal grace never at
tained by the plain fried cake, or
even theriug. Take three pints ol
llour, a piece of butter about the
size of a hen's egir, one cup of su
gar, one egg, a small bowlful of
milk or water, four or five tcaspoou
fuls of bakiug powder; flavor with
nutmeg or cinnamon. The dough
made in this way will be thin, and
you will need to sprinkle flour
enough over it and on the kneading
board to roll it out nicely. Cut the
cakes out with a biscuit-cutter; then
take a knife and insert it at the edge
of the cake uutil the point of the
knife is at the centre; then take out
the kuifc and put the raisin iu;
press aud flatten tho cake, and cut it
out again with the biscuit-cutter.
This operation prevents the raisin
from bursting out wheu the cake
rises. Evening Post.
The Midnight Suu.
The spectacle of the suu shining
at miduight, attracts many foreign
ers to Swedish Lapland during the
month of June. For six weeks
there is scarcely any night iu the
north ol Sweden ; the suu uever seta,
and the soil, constantly heated, pro
duces, in a month aud a half, barley
and other crops. At that time of
the year the Laplanders pen up their
reindeers and move their huts to
ward tho cultivated fields. Being
very hospitable, they greet with joy
the arrival of the tourists, who gen
erally meet at Mount Gallaware,
148 kilometres from Lulea. From
that hill, which is 580 metres high,
the beautiful spectacle of the "mid
uight sun" cau be admired iu better
condition than from any other place.
The 24th of June is the day selected
lor the ascension ; it is tho longest
day in the year, the sun being twenty-two
hours aboye the horizon.
This year the 24th of June was not
favored with fine weather, and, ow
ing to the cloudy sky, tho suu was
not visible at midnight, but the fol
lowing day travelers were well re
warded for their trouble, the sun
shining brightly at midnight.
Simplicity in Ires.
Our young girls in America do
not seem to have the seuse of the
beauty of simplicity iu dress. No
young girl looks as young or as
lovely in heavy velvets aud loaded
trimmings as iu simple muslins and
soft, clinging materials.. They de
tract from their own fresh charms
by calling attention to their adorn
ment. I should be inclined to say
that no jewels, unless a single row
of pearls about the throat, no lace
but simple Valenciennes, should be
worn by any girl younger than 21.
A dress perfectly fresh, light iu col
or (where the complexion admits),
beautifully cui, and almost entirely
uutrimmed, cannot be improved up
on for a yonng girl. It is the sweet
rounded forms, the dewy bloom of
tho cheek, the clear young eyes, the
soft, tender lips that wo want to see.
Where silks are worn they should
uot be of heavy quality, but soft.
Our young girls wear dresses like
dowagers. It is a futile waste of
money ; not beauty is attained.

The prohibition amendment was
sacrificed in the interest of tho rail
roads. Church Howe did it. Had
the prohibition bill been managed by
a man who was friendly to its pas
sage, it could never have been de
feated. It was used as a stock in
trade, an article of merchandise, for
barter and sale, and when it 'had
been used to its fullest extent aud
all possible advantage derived from
it, the amendment was thrown over
board like a sucked orange. We
predicted this from the start. It
could hardly have been otherwise
under such a leadership. But Ne
braska people are like all others ;
they are credulous and enjoy haying
