After looking about mo In America. I saw
Conclusive proof that my countrymen were
not by Providence Intended for merely one
or for merely thirty-one vocations All arts ,
all tiadis and all tricks , from California to
Connecticut , have their largo and faithful
following of Irishmen ; yet I modestly admit
that ho BceniH to lit best Into bis nlchi' '
nhcio hu Is dominating the crowd and lias
joked to his cir the ( icrmun , the Scandi
navian , the Hun , tbo Dago .mil the Amer
ican. You may heo lu fresh Irishman , as
green an they grow thorn , one day granted a
Jpb with the pick for God's sake , pass that
way a twelvemonth Inter and the odds are
that you Hud him not only managing his
former comrades , but bossing the man that
pinployed him. There Is n strong nnd asser-
the Individuality about the Celt , and It Is
Intolerance of restraint more than ambition
of adv.uiceniunt that makes him push for the
lop.
lop.A
A flashlight on his character In this ro-
Hpcct is the story of the Irishman who
landed In a strange country when a political
light was laglng and who , on being sur
rounded by both part ITS and questioned ,
' 'What hldo ate you on' " replied , without
any hehltntlon , "I'm agin' the govcr'ment. "
J'or there Is only one rule under which ho
will ceist to chafe Ills own rule This
dialing , then , supplements nnd sometimes
supplies the place of abstract , ambition. The
Geiman , the Page and tbo American arc all
right , he acknowledges , in the spheres for
which Iholr Cipator meant them. Than ho ,
there is no man more heartily pleased to sea
thorn piosper In' their proper sphere , nut
my countryman In America feels an uneasi
ness in his confidence until hc'has repressed
them Into that sphere The Dago Is a
tolerable hand at the pick and the German
nnd American , with the Jew , were born for
the drudgery of commerce. No IrlRhman 1
BO narrow as to deny them their privileges
liere , and none so ungenerous as not tc
ncknow lodge their brilliant abilities Hut
then , ho cannot let his generation run away
with Jiihtlco and permit them to try their In
experienced hands at n thing they know
nothing about and are not adapted for tc
wit , ruling a city or a stntc. In Milwaukee
the most German city In America , there Is n
ward that boasts only ono Irishman , yet he
IH "boss1' of the ward. Yet heIs far from
being Intolerant or tyrannical here He will
permit the Herman and the American tc
clamor against him and agnlnst the Ihws he
has framed for their bonollt and protection ,
ho will let them curse him. If It docs them
any good , nnd till their papers with rank
abuse of him. Knowing that abuse of n
benefactor Is ono of the suicut 7oologlc.il
signs that mark the genus man , he mag
nanimously smiles nnd keeps otralgut on
ticncfactorlng.

Your Irish political leader Is the Clncln-
natiiH , who has been , by Providence , called
fiom the spade to lift the reins of power in
* \ America , to guard > ou and to look after
jour destinies. There are In tt'e New
Island ( as wo call America in our Unellc )
nt the present day some thnnHar.d ? of Inllti-
rntlnl politicians who , If the ) had by acci
dent remained in Ireland , would now be

of ihe Irish-American.

tuoth'T In Ireland ; Iho simpler nnd mori
naive humor Is less apparent , 1 admit , but
on the other hand , hlfl caustic quality ha
gained more point and force , nnd he cat
make It score like a rapier. When an Irish
man retains the nalvo and combines it will
the caustic ho has an effective ) weapon In
deed. Not a few of our people bete ar
possessed of this. A lady told me of an Irlsl
tramp (1 ( would like to think that the gcnu1
Is rirc ) who , having been helped at bei
bouse , went on to the next , whose mistress
though wealthy and lavish , habitually re
fused lo 'encourage alms Beckers , schoollm
the maid lo Inform all such that "they ha.
not anything eatable In the house. " Tin
broken Iilshman , getting refusal , ploddei
hfs way back to the house at which he hat
been helped , nnd he said : "Ma'am , you'l
excuse me for troubling ye a ccond time foi

jou should ever happen lo fall Into the saint

The old faction spirit still clings to oil ]
people abroad as well as at home , and oui
lll-\\lnliern are fond of saying that you can
not leave two Irishmen In a room alone 01
one. would kill the other In vindication of 111'
method of freeing Ireland. And so they tcl
us that this want of cohesion , of agreemenl
of unlly Is one of Ibo big defecls of oui
imturo'lu America ns well as at home. Tin
people wl.o call It a fault because wo do nol
always agree regarding ways and means art
superllclal thinkers. Some one has said thai
the cumeof our Irish nature Is accentuates
Individually. That this Is the key to thi
problem I admit , hut that Individuality ac
centuated Is a curs-e I deny. Oilier nation
alities there are , and successful ones , wbe
let one man or two men think for them am !
crowd like a flock of sheep wheresoever ihe
driver drives them. They arc successful.
Contented sheep will glow fat. But ovcrj
Irishman nets 11 value too high n value , II
you like on his own Intellect , and thinks
for himself , and tlilnku lhat ho can think n =
well as his neighbor , If not betlcr. Am !
though , collectively , this Is a misfortune , II
Is an admlrablo trait individually.
From the ordinary worldly what you cal
the practical point of view , then , Irlshmei
may be unfortunate In their natures , tmi
looked at from the moral level , as good met
hhould look at such , they are especlallj
blessed. Once two of my countrymen dis
agreed about the right and the wrong of i
subject , and at length came to blows. Whui
one of them "knocked out" the other ( If joi
will permit mo borrowing from the languagi
of j-our ring ) ho bent over his fallen frlcni
and asked : "Have ye got enough ? " "Plenty
Ixird knows. " "Who's right , then ? " "You'ri
light , of course though the dlvll take mo I
I believe It. " "Then give us a shake of youi
fst , and yo'ro fieo to believe what ye choose
BO "long as yc don't wanl lo shove It dowr
my throat. " That was an optly Illustrntlvi
combination of ns > sertlvo Individuality am
moral tolerance.

For , though the Irish-American docs nol
get proper credit for It , he Is a very tolerani
individual much moro tolerant now thai
before ho quilled home. Uven the N'orlh o
Ireland Orangeman , who , with the possi
ble e.sccpllon of Mohammed's henchman , Is
the most Intolerant individual that ovei
stalked over the catth , grows broad , llbera
and Iiibh In America Yet among us norlh-
orn Irish the old feeling of party anlmosllj
takes long killing , I admit. On ono St

the city hall. An Indignant northern Irish ,
man was , , to an American group , rating tin
coulemptlblo mayor nt a grand pace. On <

said the Just Charllo hotly. "Oh , but ther
the Trench would ask to have their Hag

Ihe Swedes would look for Iho same pilvl-
lego. " "Certainly , why nof" "And jou'c

Charllei looked about him with a bold , chal

Ibc Jon the same right' " "The Greek , thi
Jew and the Turk , " assented Charlie. "Anc
on the Twelfth of July , of course , the
Orangemen would fly their Hag on It ? " In-
slanlly Oharllo placed a feat fill list undei
his quesllemer'ti nose and said , "I would
br'ok Iho neck of the man who would pro
pose it ! "
The partial distrust and dlsllko wltli
which , at ono time , tbo southern Irish and
the northern IiUh In America viewed eacii
other are much mitigated In these tlajn 1
think It was principally because of the non-
Ccdtlc element , or , nt least , non-Irish , foi
which the noith wns noted , that the south-
crncis detested us , the fardowns. It will
bo leinembored how , when the greenhorn

difference of rhar.iclerlstlcs Whether 01
not It is from his long association with the
Scot 1 know not. but our urn them Irlsli
Colt impresses blf emotions and Is distrust

man Is a jolly conuade , and has told you
the history of himself and all his kin on au
hour'p ncqu.ilntame. The northern In slowci
In friendship , and , I think , truer. He Is not
nearly so brilliant as his southern cousin
but he Is a rounder renconer and a bralnlet
man. The northern will never make as ac
complished a gentleman as the southern ;
and bu will never win his way so fast or &c
well. Yet ho IMS jncro tad nnd more sel-

Nol only nio my kin lo be found In every
po&dblo and Impossible corner and calling
in the I'lilted States , showing their adapta
bility and vcisatlllly , bin they ofttlmes arc
found In odd nnd ludlcrotn situations. In
a bit ; wcHlcrn lown once I wandered lute
a chow to hear a ransomed Circassian girl ,
who had been long enslaved b > the Turk ,
detail her wonderful experiences. Her early
life in Clrcassla , with ull Its loveliness and
joy , was as boiutlfullj and graphically de
tailed an her after yeurs with Iho Moham-
mcdiin and both Ihe pretty girl ( for sue
was pietty ) and her vvondoiful tale were
doubly wonderful and Interesting to me. In
asmuch as I discovered that Circassians
speak Kngllsb with an excellent County
Galvvay brogue I am fond of llttlo crow-da
and loitering along State Direct , In Chicago ,
ona night , stopped on the skirls of a HltU
gathering which had congregated around an
carnetu looking Kentucklau preacher , who
was seeking from tbo Christian Cblcagoan
help for mlbslonary work among the be
nighted heathen of bU Kentueklan town.
This good man preached at hi audience
and prayed for them by turim , and a hag-

prtarher , bearing a standard , punctuated

sui-h nn exquisite Irish brogue that m :
curiosity was very much awakened , for
had never seen an Irishman In such ai
olllce before , t saw well that Patrick ha <
fallen upon evil times. Uoth bin comitcn.itu
nnd his clothing showed It. and ihe gapes ti
his boots spoke loudly to the same effect
HU eye met mine , at length , and the hume
of the situation proving too much for me
smiled , I fear , a rather quizzical smile Thi
lines nbotit the poor fellow's mouth In
'stnnlly relaxed , and smiling , loo. at bclm
raughl , bo dropped bis eyes to the ground
I edged around to where he stood , though hi
tried to frown me off "Hard luck" '
whispered In his car between responses
"Tho dlvll's own luck Praise Ood' "
Of our people In America , oftentimes thi
least radical change takes place among thi
poorest and the. hardest working. They ver ;
oflcn rclaln all the beautiful , unsophisti
cated traits which , barring the sparse con
tents of a llttlo red bundle , were the onli
wealth they brought with them to the nev
Island the Island of hopes and dreams
Somewhere before , perhaps , I lold Ibo storj
which will bear repeating , of the two pool
Irish navvies , who on n cold and dirty Feb
ruary day , their bones probably aching am
their clothes certainly soaked with sleet
after n scanty lunch In Ibo shellcr of a wal
smoked In silence the pipe of pcaeo and con

My countrymen In America have , despite
desperate dlssdvnntagcH * asserted their solid
worlh and steillng qualities nnd compcJleil
the American , the German and tbo Jew tc
acknowledge and esteem lhat worlh ami
those qualities. The Irish navvy of yes
terday Is a man of position and power today
holpcd to gain for our race

the reaped It has richly merited. It Is a
pleasure and a pride to find in every his
enterprise , every big undertaking , every big
newspaper , In every big store , from Seattle
to South Carolina , Irishmen almost Invarl-
nbly holding the positions of trust and re
sponsibility. And It Is remarkable that even
the very shrewd Jew , cvcrywhero over the
States , must have his right-hand man Irish ,
Per a confidential position , for a position re
quiring dominating powers , for a position

No dlHCUHblon of mourning could assume
to bo complete without rcfoienco to the
hnndkorchlcf linen and the > lulling card. .
The first bbould not bo hemstitched In black
and ninny men ridicule , tlin notion , and with
justification , that it Is necessary , manly or
seemly to cany with mouinlng dress othur
than a puiulyhlto moucholr. There Is un
deniably a luimbci , however , who cling to
the tradition of tin1 mourning imndkorchtet
and have in the corners of their purely
white linen squares a small oval 01 diamond
of black linen bet and on this the Inltlalu
In clmsiely simple whlto embroldcty done.
Surely tl-oro Is noihln } ; conspicuous ,
or effeminate In this device as
may bo uigcd against the black
bolder , and It serves perfectly to satisfy
the conscientious qualtr.H of those who
lo\c to do cvcr > tiling in decency nnd order.

Concerning evening dress for n man In
mourning for the first month , nothing need
bo said , for ho who respects lilw own grief
nnd tbo coiuentlons sufficiently to wear
carefully considered mourning does not for
at least four weeks appear at any function
where evening dress Is required At homo
for dinner tbo costume necessary Is that
customarily worn , the waistcoat matching
the troupers nnd short dinner coat , tbo tlo
of lusterless black bilk , tliu ulceMi links
such as ho woio with his afternoon dress
and tbo snlrt studs of whlto enamel. When

black waistcoat tli > and black gloxes nio
worn to the theater and to dinners , while
the simple enamel studs appear \astly moie
appropriate than the iindertakorlsh cucct of

wear tbo more than e\or popular white

handsalchclh. lie proceeded to one of the

A man who Is said to ha\e married twenty
wives and was bcntc-nced to the peiiltcn-
llaiy by a jury in a Chicago couit wept
long and bitterly as ho was led away. This
Incident meiely goes to bhow the complexity
of human nntuu * . Some men would have
shouted loud hohannas at the idea of escap
ing twcutty wives , even In the bceluslon ol
a penitentiary.
The uninvited guest has seldom caused
moio anguish than at an ultra-fashionable
and bck'ct masqucrado ball given to high
.society In San Francisco , when upon le-
movlng the masks It was discovered that
the person who had been awarded Hist
prize for his realistic ccstume was a gen-
ulno negro tramp , whoso presence at the
function was the scheme for rcvengo In
vented by a , man who had not been In
vited. One fair lady who had tied the prl/c-
wlnner's shoe during a dance fainted when
the horrid discovery was made and re
mained unconscious for an hour.
The appialsors of the Richard Cole estate
In Detroit met the other day and listened to
the financial alfalrs of tbo estate as told
by the widow. It scorns that Coli , not be
lieving In savings banks , had placed his
money in tiles hid In the cellar wall. Last
summer some of the blllb became moldy and
stuck together so badly that be teak $2,000
or $3,000 worth out to the orchard and laid
them out to diy. A cow came along and
ale most of the amount , according to Mrs
Cole's stoty , and also masticated a deed cf
the farm which was In Inn pile. No money
was found In the house , but she claimed
that Mr. Cole had filled a tllo with bills
and bad burled It In Iho orchard , just whcie
she did not know. The appralfiors have no
occasion lo doubt the story as given. Pov-
oral thousand dollars was found in the
house after the old man'H death , and It Is
probable that coiiblderablo more Is secieted
around , as ho was known to have been quite
wealthy.
When Arthur IMwards of Hiookljn asked

If she would marry him her icply was that

"Uon't ) ou think your husbind Is simply
