Tlio Conntr Ilnnpltnl and Its Alleged Liability to Tnko n. Tumble \Vlio In Ilcnlly nt ' Fnult. The Now l > onh-Trn ] > . There wn.s nn ultltudlnous old time out nt the county hospital ycstorduy. County Commissioner ! * O'ICcclTo and Mount , Archi tect Meyorn , from Detroit , the contractors Ilyan & Wulsli , Superintendent WnUh nntl Dennis Cunningham were the only partici pants In tli6 merry making. "Tim whole mutter In n nut shell , " said ono of the party , "Is that the county In hclnR ? obbcd in an outrageous manner with the wilding of this Institution , nnd all those who Imvo n linger In the plo are twisting , con torting and convolutlng In a distracted effort to shift the blame from their shoulders to Bomo ono el no's. " "Tho whole hulldlngl" savagely nnd em phatically vociferated Architect Moyers on n litilf dozen occasions , "is little leas tUan a death trap I" But n few words of explanation. Ono week ago the brick archway over the main window in the east wall ot the south wuitf caved In , leaving a vacuum hip enough fern n elephant to walk through. The collapse nlso Hprunir the walls , and large crucks nro visible extending from this oinbrochuro In the walls , both on the south and cast , to the Window panes below. Contractor Walsh claims that instead of the arches there should Imvo been Iron beams , while Superintendent Iloss nnd Architect M.vors assorvato that "Walsh lias prosecuted his Work nt variance With the ofllclal directions. In fact , Hess ycsUday sent Into the county commission ers a written protest and complaint , stating that the contractors , Itynn ana Walsh , would not obey his orders. Architect Meyers said the cause of the CO- Japse.of the arch referred to Is because the contractors had taken out the centers or braces before the mortar hud had ono-thlrd time enough to set. Ho said this very thing was the cnuso of the recent fall , of the ton ptor.v building iu Chicago. Ho ' said those centers should nothavo boon removed before the lapse of a month or six weeks , nnd then should have been thoroughly tcstod by a gradual lowering of the sumo before they were entirely taken down. Ho also declarer that nn inferior cement , which lias DCCU packed in Portland cement parrels , 1ms been used instead of the Port land cement Itself , and the contract specific ally calls for the Portland ; that some of the mortar used was up IU for any purpose. Ho Bald further , that Mr. Walsh should bo com- Soiled to go by the instructions of men who ndcrstood their business , or ho would issue un order for his dismissal from the building. Ho pcrcmptorally forbade the superin- , tcndont allowing any men to go to work in any part of the north wing of the bulldmg.as po ajiprcheuds a crash here nt any time phould tbo least vibration , bo given to the prchcs. The centers huvo all boon taken out Of the lower arches , nnd the scalTolding for the upper arches rests directly on the center - tor of each. With tbo unset mortar used , ho Declares ttint they arc apt to collapse nt any moment. Consequently , Hess has ordered his men , as they vnluo their lives , to not ven ture in here for anything. On the other hand , it is claimed that the building is being constructed too cheaply ; that the contract was taken at figures that Will not Justify ullrst-class job. The truth Of this assertion could not bo readily ascer tained. Commissioner O'Kcofo is determined from this on out that the very letter of the con- -truct shall bo carried out , and a competent builder will bo detailed to visit the scnuo of operations every day , and report progress and the conoral condition of things. - Commissioner Turner limbered up and de livered himself of several opinions against ( ho board's action in the hospital matter that 'wore ' anything but complimentary. Mr. Tur- per did not got In from his farm early enough to Join the morning excursion , consequently felt in about the right mood to air himself. 'Mr. Myers has got the board where It cnu't help itself , " ho Bald , "Ho is not re sponsible Tor any of this trouble. Certain tnombers Imvo gotten themselves Intou tight lox ; they know it , and for that reason dnro not say anything to Myers. As I look at it , Jio has had nothing to do with the construc tion work. After receiving a picture of the building- from him. they simply took the fcvhola matter out of his hands , and have boon running contrary to contracts , agrao- tnonts , rules and understandings. They se lected a sperintcndont and assistant without oven consulting him. Ho should , at least , have had an opportu nity to recommend n mun for the place. But J suppose certain members had favoritesand wanted to put them in. They also made their own estimates , and have been going ahead regardless of results until mutters finally reached that condition from which relief could not possibly be hud except through tha architect , and not desiring to Bhouldor the responsibility themselves they have attempted to saddle it on to him. But ho has cot thorn where they can do nothliu' . All the action taken nt meetings amounts to nothing. Resolutions were offered nnd passed , but that was the end of them. Nobody over , called them up afterwards. The fact is they were u blind to the newspapers , nnd were never Intended to ho enforced. I have not taken part nor said anything , for the reason that I preferred to see those members who have gotten Into the hole work themselves out. You cnu't bet Myers has got them. " A Heel Hoi Mooting. Last Saturday afternoon thu board of county commissioners , nt its meeting , de cided to hold n session , yesterday , for the purpose of appointing nn nrchltoct for the completion of the now county hospital. The present architect , 12. K. Myers , had put n bli ; white elephant on the hands of the board , to use the term of one of the com mis- planers , Myers had neglected to perform His duties , and would never coino to Omaha from Detroit to look after the building un less ho thought he would bo relieved of his position. The board of commissioners had blood his "monkey business , " to quota the words of Hlchnrd O'Kcoffe , us long as it could. The commissioners Would not tolerate him any longer pud hold a session yesterday afternoon for , thn express purpose of appointing a now nr- chltcct. Ills services were to bo paid for by Jvlr. Meyers , that was the board's ' idea of the jnntter. * The mooting of the commissioners was hold. That was nil that was dene. It waa pioru of u fnrco than anything else. It was disgraceful , nnd oven old hayseed farmers who didn't know anything about pnrlmmeu- | nry inws , were disgusted and left ; it. Thn entire afternoon was spent and not n solitary thins accomplished. "I.o wonder my predecessor weut crazy , " remarked thn auditor of the board. "If we have tunny moro such meetings I may bo in the itnnin uont. " The entire session was devoted to O'KeofTo ' end Anderson , both of whom had the floor at all times , nnd both had It together. It was nothing moro or loss than a personal light between them on any matter that came up for action , After the customary preliminaries Mr. p'Keoffo made n motion to proceed to appoint } t new architect for the hospital building to iierform the work that should bo demo by thu iircsont architect. The pi ovisions of the { notion were that the now architect was to | : ecolvo his pay from Myers or his services houUl bo deducted from Myers' account. Mr , Tumor was of the opinion that Mr. Myers would Imvo to bo paid every cent foi its worls whether or not the board appointed jolf a dozen architects. Myers had permitted ; ho board to appoint a superintendent and in assistant , and iimka other appointments m the construction of .the building. Myora would expect the now architect to bo paid | > y the board. After this declaration Anderson and O'KcoiTo ( jot Into a personal fight. tCnch ono blamed the othei for thn bad work done oa the hospital jO'KoolTo held that it bad been performed while Anderson was In the board , and An person claimed that O'Kooffo was rcsponsl Jilo for attaching his name to n contract t < erect a hospital largo enough for the state | t was a white elephant on the county and Aiutcraon thought the board mlglit as vvel phoulder its share of the blame. Ho alludec to thu "while elephant" on several occasions but O'ICouito. gave him a sneering look tuui meant ns much as to say that they had taken the bull by the horns nnd it was not policy to pet tasked over the fence. O'Koeffo stated that ho was willing to shoulder his part of the blame , and to show that ho was willing ho wanted to appoint another archi tect. Anderson said the board wns as much nt fault as Myors , as the board hnd 'not com plied with the agreement nnd contract by not rcqulrlngthosupcrlntondentof the build ing to Rive bonds. The contract Was then read , and Arch Itcct Myers , who was nt the PoxUm hotel , was sent for. Ho came , but found the commis sioners in a wrangle. The motion to ap point n now architect was lost. O'KcoiTo nnd Andersen got into another squabble over n Iittlo resolution which was pasted at Saturday afternoon's meeting. It Is an follows and was Introduced by Mr. O'Koorfe. "Hesolvcd. That honcnforth all resolutions appropriating nny money for the payment of debts of Douglas county shall bo road once only , the first time at nny regular meeting of tlio board nnd shall then bo plnood on ilia for Inspection nt the next regular meeting of the board , when they may bo tnkon up , read the second nnd third times and passed. This rule shall not apply , however , to the appropriations for salaries ot county ofllclals and employes , nor to the estimates given by the county surveyor on contracts , nor cor- tlllcd certificates for jurors and witness fees from the ulork of the district court. " Mr. Anderson had the measure recon sidered and offered n substitute. IIo claimed that the resolution conflicted with the utat- utcs. Ho would not odor nn amendment to the resolution. If the other members wanted to Ignore the law they could do so , but his substitute was in accordance with the laws of the state. The substitute was finally dropped , nnd Andersen and O'KcciTo engaged Into another wrangle about steals and "crookek bills" which the resolution , If In force , would remedy. The question of adopting the resolution , was put to a vote , and it resulted in n tto. O'KcofTo nnd Turner for it , nnd Anderson and Mount against it. S. I. Pope & Co. , of Chicago , were allowed $7,000 for heating and steam fitting in the now hospital. Between B and 6 o'clock the board ad journed to meet nt S ) o'clock this morning , on the hospital mmldlo. Headache , flcklo nppotite , failure of eyesight , tube casts In urine , frequent tlcsiro to urinate , especially at night , cramps in calf of legs , gradual loss of flesh and dropsical swelling any ono or moro of the nbovo disorders are symptoms of advanced kidney disease or Brlght's disease , and Warner's Safe Cure should bo freely used according to directions. Dr. Wm. H. Thompson , of the city of Now York , says : "Moro adults a'ro carried off in this country by chronic Kidney disease than by any other ono malady except consumption. The late Dr. Die Lewis says , over his own signature , in speaking of Warner's Safe Cure : "If I found myself tlio vic tim of a serious kidney trouble , I should use your preparation.

They say in the Pacific Islands , speak ing of the distribution of apooics , that they never heard of our common house llywhich Is now a great nniannco there , until it was distributed from port to port by Europoun vussols. In the now mauds tha ) . uro occasionally discov ered there is no such insect us our house fly , according to the Now York Sun. Some years ago a great matted muss of living and decayed vegetation that had formed in the upper Paraguay broke away during a freshet and drifted 2,000 , miles to Uuenos Ayres , whoru the people ple wore very mucli astonished by the Huddon appearance of nmiiy wild ani mals anil reptiles tlmt hod taken roftign on the Moating island to escape tlio delude , Stanley , in his lost letter , gives and Jntorcstiuf ?

Europe , THE TWO CHIEFS OF DUNBOY. In its rovitw of the novel just issued liy Jnmcs Anthony Froudc , entitled "Tho Two Chiefs of Dunboy , " the Globe-Democrat Bays : It is not gener ally known that Mr. Froudo began his literary career with the idea of being a novelist. Ho produced two works ot lotion nearly forty years ngo nnd they proved to bo melancholy fail ures. Then ho turned his attention to history and biography , and achieved a reputation which is likely to bo perma nent. Those early stories nro not now in print , and the author does not care , it is said , to claim them ; indeed , his friends toll that ho bought and de stroyed a largo part of the editions in order to escape responsibility for thorn. EIo has now made another attempt in that line , with n result whioh can only bo called partially successful. That is to tjiy , while the book is interesting as a picture of life in Ireland at the mid dle of the last century , it does not meet any of the requirements ot a first-class novel. It has no plot , to start with ; it s only a succession of quasi-historical incidents , in which the characters come and go regardless of dramatic Illness and unity. There is no love-making in .t. and no heroine , and no happiness. Lt is romantic in a certain sense ; but , ho romance is mostly of n criminal and 'orbldding nature1 and the good suffer equally with the transgressing. One ot the lending characters. Colonel nel Goring , is nn English Protestant , who occupies Dunboy castle , in the south of Ireland , and has command of a tiundrcd miles of tlio coast ns a revenue ofllcor ; the other , Mnrty Sullivan , is an Irish Catholic , exiled in Franco , whoso family has boon ousted from the Dun- boy castle estate , and whoso friends uro anxious to have him return to his na tive land and organize nn insurrection , lie having won distinction as a soldier in foreign armies. "It is for you to save us if you can , " says Morty's cousin , Sylvester Sullivan , who .has sought Inm in Franco as a bearer of the latest news , "nnd if you fail us now and ill comes of it , you have had your warn ing. " Morly's face grows hard nnd storu ; bnt ho hesitates. Ho has lost faith in Irish insurrections. His service abroad has given him a disgust for local conspiracies and crimes , nnd for the cowardly uatriotlsm which disguises disaffection behind perjury , and accom plishes nothing save an increase in the general misery. But , after all , ho knows himself to bo chief of a race whoso existence is now in peril. IIo is touched in his pridp by the fact that an English colonel is in possession of the castle of his ancestors. "Tho colonel is a crafty lad as well as a bold ono , " says Sylvester , "and it is never so easy to reach him. He's at the old deviltry again , bringing in Protestants to live among us. The parliament changed the law , and thovcan stay now. were luck ! Ho bas found copper in the mountains , nnd ho has fetched over gangs of miners from Cornwall to dig it for him. Psalm- singing rogues they are ; but they work as Sir William's people did , andthoio is a deal of money going among thorn. And in the same way ho has brought moro of them Cornishmon , with boats nnd lines and nets , to take the fish ; and they are making money , too. The country is going to the devil with them all. But what does the colonel care for that , so long as ho is doing the Lord's work , as ho calls it. " Morty asks , "What ails Mac fin nan DhuV He is older than myself. " Syl vester answers , "Wo ago quickly in Ireland , your honor , with the whisky and the broken heads ; and Maclinnan has had his share in both. " Thou ho gives a graphic account of Maciinnan's wrongs and sufferings , and implores Morty again to Jreturn to Ireland and resist the oppressors of his unhappy countryman. Colonel Goring wns a faithful soldier and a religious wjan. Ho had no wish to injure in any way the Irish people of the district in which ho commanded , but ho believed in the enforcement of the law against smuggling , and his ef forts in that connection soon made him very unpopular , notwithstanding his personal kindness and generosity. The ugly fact was brought homo to mm that the people were in sympathy with the smugglers , and with all other violators of the revenue law. Moreover , general unrest prevailed , on account of the prospects of a French invasion. Peace was ot yet avowedly broken , but the French and English were flghing in In dia nud America , and the signs of approaching war were visi ble on all sides. Privateers were said to bo already at work , and Colonel Goring had information that muskets and powder in largo quan tities had been landed in his vicinity. While ho waa straining his utmost to protect the coast , ho was assailed by a hundred potty acts of persecutionwhich showed that a systematic attempt was being made to drive him from the coun try. Again and agahi ho represented hfs situation to the govern meat at Dub lin , but his letters were not answered and ho was loft to take care of himself as best ho could. At length Morty Sullivan appeared and stood face to face with Colonel Gor ing. The latter said to the citizolis who were standing near : "Gentlemen , I must call for your assistance in the name of the law. The person whom you see before you is u proclaimed rebel , with a price on his head. IIo was with the Pretender in Scotland ; was captured , and for a few hours was under my own charge. Ho Is Morty Sullivan , I am ready to swear. I arrest him , and I require you all , on your al legiance , to prevent his escape. " Morty sprang to the top of u rise in tlio ground. "Arrest mo , will you ? " ho cried. "Arrest mo , that you may sot my head on your Temple Bur , besideKilinarnoch'u and Balmerino's ! Then I must send for them who will put in bail for me ! " He blow a sharp , shrill call on u whistle , and out 01 the woods no all sides rushed bodies of seamen , armed to the teeth with cutlass , dirk and pistol rulllans of all nations , ready for any sorvlco which their commander might require cf them. "You see those men , " Morty said to Goring. "Lot but ono of you lift a hand to touch mu nnd the neil you stand on shall run with blood , and not one of you shall leave these ground alivo. Meddle with mo now if you dare ! " Goring saw tlmt it would bo useless to persist in the arrest. "You have taken ns by surprise , Captain Sullivan , " ho uaid. "and you have our lives in your hands if you nloaso to murder us. I toll you none the loss , to your face , and in the face of those villains whoso pres ence proves you to be a rebel , a pirate , a murderer for all I know , that you have forfeited your life to the law as a felon , and you will come to u felon's end , I toll you if I leave here alive I will brllig'ftn English frigate upon you before fore a week is out ! " Morty bit his lips till the blood ran. "Gentlemen , " ho said , "Colonel Gorinpp'olls me I am u plrato , and my life is lorfoltod. I will give him a chance to take it. For what I am , and for what yonder vessel is which I have the honor to command , I will answer , if called on , to my own Eovoroign , King Louis of Franco , mid to nn other. My only quarrel is with Colouor uorlug himself. Lot ua end it , nnd then If my practice on this roast Is a danger to the r.cst ot you , I will go , nnd you shall hoarof mo no more. " Ho tore off his glove hnd flung it in the colonel's face. Gbrlng caught it and tossed it gently back , enylng , "It shall bo ns you ploaso. " , , , , The preliminaries of the duel were soon adjusted. Twblvo paces was the distances chosen , hnd it was agreed that the combatants-should ( Ire consec utively , nnd loss -for the first shot. The advantage foirtft Morty. IIo waste to fire first nnlli-nt his own ttnio nftor the handkerchief was drop- pud. The signal was given. IIo raised his pistol , took delib erate aim nnd lot his arm fall slowly. Then ho raised it again with n vicious smile ; ho drew the trigger , the hammer foil , nnd the pistol missed ( Ire. llo cocked again , pulled again , and again there was no result. "There Is some thing the matter with your Hint , sir1 said Goring , cooly , "you had bettor let it bo looked to. " Morty flung his weapon to a second , who rearranged the Hint nnd returned it to him. Ho ilred instantly , but Gorlng's calmness had disturbed his nerve. His arm shook. The ball intended for hid antagonist's brain passed through his hut and left him. untouched. It was now Goring's turn. "Captain Sullivan , " ho said , "it is not your fault tlmt you missed me , for you were deliberate enough , I might now save the hangman trouble. But your Hfo is forfeited ; it belongs to your country , nnd to your country I Rhall leave you. I shall not flro at you in return. " Ho paused a moment and scanned his pistol. "But , " ho continued , "that you may know and that all here may know that your life is inino if I please to take it , do you see yonder bough at the top of the furthest elm. with n single yellow lent at its extremity ? Mark that leaf. " Ho raised his arm and glanced along the barrel ; a Hash , a shot , and the leaf , cut off nt the stora by the ball , slowly fluttered to the ground. "Give us other pistols load ngalnl cried Morty ; but the crowd objected , the seconds in terposed , and the affair proceeded no further. Of this encounter with Morty Colonel Goring thought no moro than if his horse had fallen , or nny other ordi- narv nccldont had befallen him. But of Morty's presence on the coast , in command of a piratical vessel , ho thought long and seriously. IIo thought much also of Ireland and her people. The situation was at once both a sorrow and a mystory. Ho asked himself what it all signified. English rule had done it all , the priests said. But it was not so , Goring know , for their own annals told that at no time had the Irish chiefs nnd their followers boon other than wolves , devouring ono another when no sheep were loft for them to devour. His conclusions were that the Irish as a race had disowned the facts of life , and the facts of life bud proved the strong est. est.It It did not take Goring long to ascer tain that Morty's vessel was loaded with arms and ammunition from Franco , to bo landed for the usjj of the insurrec tionists. So ho collected a party of his English tenants whom ho could trust , and proceeded to the point where the landing would protmbly bo attempted. They were Justin time to conceal them selves and to pour 'a volley into the ranks of the pirates as they rowed close to the shore. Thus the landing was prevented , and Morty guessed instinc tively who it was that had bullied htm. Moro bitterly than over ho swore to have his rovpngo. But swearing would not help him now. His vessel , the Doutollccould not move for not a brouth ot air was stirring. * Ho sent up a signal rocket for the boats to return. The answer soon came in a loud explosion tolling that the barge with the cargo of guns "and powder had boon blown up to prevent its capture. At the first sign ot wind the Doutollo got under weigh , headed for France. Two days later she was overhauled by an English frigate , and a sharp fight en sued , in which Morty was viCtoriousand at the end ot a fortnight ho arrived safely at Nantes , there to prepare for fur ther sDrvico in such direction as should seem most promising. Some time went by , and Morty did not return to Ireland. He was occasion ally board of , however , in other quar ters , fighting and plundering ; and at lost ho paid his country another visit , under orders from the king of Franco. Ho was instructed to ascortafn how many men could bo counted on if a Fro n oil force should bo sent there. It was as ho had expected. The Irish were not ready to fight for themselves. "Tho heart is not in them , " he said bitterly. "They will only bluster and boast , but when the time comes for action it will only bo which shall bo first to be tray tbo other. None are braver when cows' tails are. to bo cut off , or the country's enemies to ho shot from a hiding place. But to stand up and fight the Saxon in nn honorable field , as the Scots did with Bruce and Wallace , that is beyond them. And therefore wo are what wo nro. No nation over trusted us that they did not rue that day. Ask the French ; ask the Span iards. Wo have made the name of Irish patriot a byword of contempt through Europe. What curse is on us , that only when wo have left our miser able country our courage nnd manli ness come back to us ? " It was to his sister that ho said this , and she reproached preached him for his lack of faith. "God knows I have no love for the Eng lish , " ho wont on , "but I will meet them only in fair fight , man to man. " His friends , and particularly his cousin Sylvester , urged that it was at least his duty to make a settle ment with his personal enemy , Colonel Goring. "Bring Colonel Goring .and mo whore none can interfere with us , " said Morty , "and I will thank any of you. Wo can then settle our differences once for nil , and there will bo an end. But ho gave mo my Hfo once , and it shall never be said that I took liiniTit a disadvantage. " Syivostorsaid ho would bring about such a .mooting ; and ho did by luring vColonol , Goring away from homo under false pro- tons'os , It was. , at a wayside - side blacksmith sliqp , that the colonel unexpectedly encountered Morty. The latter was accompanied by his friend Council and by Syh'es.tor. ' AH soon as Goring enteredCoiiiibll stopped behind him and barred thovdbor. Then Morty said ; "I have returned to Ireland , Col onel Goring , only fo'r-a short stay. I am about to leave it , hover to come back. A gentleman and a soldier , like your self , cannot wish that I should go while the account botwcoii. us is still unset tled. Our fortunutQ , < mcoting here pro vides us with an opnprtunlty. " Colonel Goring saw that a treacherous contriv ance had brought him thoro. IIo be lieved they intended to murder him. But his courage did not fail. Ho an swered that ho could not degrade the uniform ho were by stooping to measure arms with ono who stood outside the pale of honorable men. Morty laid four pistols on the smltb's tool chest. "Tako a pair of them , " ho said1 "they are loaded alike. Lot us stand on the opposite sides of this hovel , and so make an end. " Ooring glanced at the door , with a thought of escape , A bar lay across it , but of no great thickness ; a vigorous blow might shat ter both it and the staple into which it ran. Sylvester detected the glance and its meaning , and throw himself in the way. Goring snatched a heavy ham mer , which stood against the wall , and struck Sylvester , breaking his collar bone , and hurling him back sonsolcaa , doubled over tbo anvil. Morty and Connell , nollhor ot whom had Intended foul piny , hesitated. A second stroke of the hammer shattered the bar , and the door hung uyon the latch. In an other moment Goring would have boon frco nnd iiwity. Connell sprang forward nnd closed with him. The colonel flung him heavily on tho-floor. IIo resend nd drew h knife , which Goring wrenched from him , nnd was about to drive it into his side. "Shoot , Mortv. shoot , " ho cried , "or I am adoad iimni" Morty snatched up a pistol , fired , and missed. The second shot was true to its mark. Goring's arms dropped , ho stag- pored against the door and fell. IIo was dead. The murder of a revenue officer in Ireland was a matter ot slight import ance : and the death of Colonel Goring would probably Imvo gene unavenged but for another act of treachery on the part of Sylvester. That repulsive wretch , stung by Morty's condemnation ot his meanness , disclosed all the facts to the authorities , and a company of soldiers was sent to arrest the guilty parties. The house was surrounded and sot on lire , and as Morty rushed out through thu flames a do/.on musket balls struck him and ho died without a word. The body was given in charge of tbo soldiers to bo carried in n cutter to Cork. They lashed a rope around the neck and shoulders , and made it fast behind the cutter's stern , and in this ignominious fashion they towed behind them all that was loft of the daring plrato through the waters of which ho had boon the glory and ter ror. At Cork the trunk was quartered , and the bond was placed on tlio castle battlements , and the comrades who were taken with him.when ho was killed had a short shift , and the blootly drama wns ended. By way of final com ment , Mr. Froudo says : "Colonel Goring belonged to an or der of men who. if they had boon al lowed fair play , would have made the sorrows of Ireland the memory of an evil dream ; but ho had come too late ; the spirit of the Cromwollmiis had died out of the land , and was not to bo re- revived by a single enthusiast. Morty Sullivan slow him , nnd when slain in turn mot his just reward. Yet , when the actions of men are measured in the eternal scale , and the sins of those who had undertaKen to rulolroland and had not ruled it , are scon in the full blos som of their consequences , the guilt of .Morty , the guilt of-nwny another des perate patriot in that ill-fated country , may bo found to boar most heavily on those English statesmen whoso reckless negligence was the true cause of their crimor.

Howard gives the following charm ing picture of post demonstrations in Now York , and what may bo expected at the forthcoming centennial celebra tion : Wo have had superb demonstrations hero. Some of you can remember the de parture of the Seventh regiment for Washington in 1801. Why , the very pavements btood on end and yelled with patriotic fervor. Do you recall the mag nificent testimonial paid by the people of this city and. adjacent regions to the memory of Horace GrooloyV When that cortege moved down Broadway it WAS not the procession in the middle of the strict that made it notable , but it was the multitudinous , panoramic aggrega tion of humanity that escorted it to the ferry gates that made it ono of the most significant demonstrations with which the city of demonstrations is familiar. And when the honored name of Peter Cooper was placed upon his casket , and all that was mortal of him was borne with quiet , solemn ongo toward the cemetery , what an outturn , what acres upon acres of men and women aye , and of Iittlo ones , too were scon by close observers of that sentimental celebration of a good man's life. So you sco we arc to a certain extent prepared - pared for something great , and in the massive magnificence of this coining demonstration , how contemptible , how pitiful , how little will bo the incidental disturbances hero and thoro. A pick pocket horea rude follow there , a push ing policeman and an awkward horse man , what will they be in comparison or by contrast with" the wonderful dis play1 ! So , too , in looking back years hence to this great centennial senti ment , which I honestly believe rests active and admirable in every Now Yorker's heart , who will care to remem ber the squables between the dogs at the corner , the scuffles between the po licemen and the intemperate , the fall ing of ahorse , the tripping of a soldier , the squables of a Fish , the ruffled fea tures of a McAllistertbo idiotic egotism of a GerryV Lot us burv those things in a common trench , and massing our selves in impetuous phalanx , move on irrespective of such demonstrations on this great occasion as will not only bo memorable to us but will live , in history , and inspiration to our children , and a glorious recognition of those who went boforo. Mr. Blulno'H Pallid Face. Secretary Blaine came late from some dinner party and made his way down the rooms through groups of hand shakers , Bays a Washington letter. He is , if possible , whiter than ever snow- white liiir | and a pure marble-white , perfectly colorless skin , making him a contrast with all the sallow-faced or ruddy people in the rooms. His remarkably - markably quick black eyes animate the face in a way to rout all theories of invalidism - validism , but the secretary seems ab sorbed and lost in mental worries. Whenever ho is soon driving from his do partition t to thu white house and bncic the nremior looks worried , and evidently the cares of thu ofllco are hard or lie takes them hard.
