Views of the I-ord I.PMitennt Concerning th SiipjirrtNiou of Out. agps. Duiu.in. Jan. lit.—" Earl Spencer. Lord Lieutenant, who is the guest of Lord Port Arlington, in replying to an address froru the in habitants of Port Arlington congratulating him upon his wise and merciful administration of law and the success of his efforts, to preserve order and prosperity in Ireland, said: “After the events of recent years, it is improbable that lawlessness can at once be eradicated. Its baneful influence will, from time to time, make itself felt, and it needs anxious watching. The ‘government will rely upon the support of all classes to maintain order.” The correspondent says the add res- was the more pratitying beca use i nflain tnatory i< it ices had been circulated endeavoring to incite the people against Karl Spencer, ar.d urging them to remember that Hynes. Walsh and Joyce were hanged by drunken Castle Hacks. A Call for the Strong Hand. I.onnoN, Jan. 19.—The Marquis of Ilartington. Secretary of State for War, in a speech last, evening, referring to the condition of Ireland, said that through miserable hatred and hideous conspiracy he had lost a relative beloved by all his brothers, Lord Frederick Cavendish. He had, he said, the greatest confidence in Earl Spencer, the Lord-lieutenant of Ireland, and Trevelyan, the Chief Secretary, who went there at a time of great risk. An irresponsible society existed there, side by side with a very threatening agitation and widespread sympathy with crime. Secret societies, the Marquis said, no doubt existed in Russia, Germany, Fiance and America, and where they existed extreme measures were always necessary. The evil must be grappled with. The Irish problem could only be met by firm determination. The Marquis said he did not think the matter was hopeless. The law must be strengthened to meet the exceptional condition of the country. The government must show that murder would meet its just reward. Home rule, he said, could never be permitted in Ireland. It had been suggested that the government should find funds to establish a peasant proprietary in Ireland, but lie strongly condemned the idea of paying out the hardearned funds in the English exchequer for such a purpose, unless it could be shown that the people wove capable and willing to work. Although he could not say crime had been eradicated, were clearly good remits from Cue exceptional legislation in regard to Ireland. He had every reason to believe the distress in Ireland could be met from local sources of relief without an appeal for help from the imperial funds. He believed a iittle rest was necessary for Ireland. STARVATION AND DESTITUTION. Pitiable Condition of tlic People in t\ie Northern Part of Ireland. Dublin, Jan. 19. —The whole north of Ireland is in a most wretched condition, owing to the complete destruction of the grain crops in September by a terrible tornado ar.d the rotting of the entire potato crop, caused by constant rain.

THE MILWAUKEE EXPLOSION. Dentil of One of the Victims The Cause of 4he Accident. Mtlwatikep. Jan. 19.—Anson Farrington, who was fafally injured at the explosion nt tlie Opera- house. Inst night, died this afternoon. Albert Seramer (not. Seymour) cannot live, as the physicians any. The other three injured are doing well, and will recover. The cause of the accident was the explosion of n calcium light cylinder, the result of mixing hydrogen and oxygen gas. with which the two cylinders were charged. The mistake was made by Farrington in the forenoon. It was noticed, and his attention was called to it by the scenic artist accompanying Collier’s “Lights o' London’* Company. Farrington replied that it was all right: that when he wanted hydrogen all he needed to do was to turn on the oxygen cylinder. This he forgot to do. The scenic artist also told Manager Marsh that the running of the calcium lights was in inexperienced hands, and that he was apprehensive of danger. A chemist says the wonder is that the entire building was not blown to pieces. The vessel exploded was about three feet long and one foot in diameter. Prompt action on the part of the officials and sensible men in the audience prevented fatal results from the stampede. The company played to-night before empty scats. A benefit matinee for tiie injured is advertised for to-morrow but it is fcareu that the accident will seriously cripple the whole season of the Opera-house, which is not at all a safe place in case of lire.

THE FIRE RECOUP. Burning of the (jnincy House, at Quincy, 111 —No Lives Lost. Quincy. 111., Jan, 19.—The Quincy House, otic of the largest hotels in the city, burned this morning. The fire was discovered by one of the guests on the third floor, who at once gave the alarm. First Clerk James L Griffith, who was on the second floor at the time, called the porters and sent them to every room in the house to alarm the guests. Many of the guests were in the dining-room, but a large number were asleep. Men, women and children rushed to the street, only a f-w waiting to dress; but the tire progressed slowly and no lives were lost. Kate Butler, one of the chambermaids, had a narrow escape, having goue to her room to get out her trunk. Her clothing caught fire, and she was badly burned about the bead and face. Her injuries are not considered serious. William Stickelback, a detective on the police force, had a leg broken by tailing down stairs. He had gone into the burning building to rescue any one who might need help, and becoming blinded by me smoke, fell the full length of one of the stairways. There were in the hotel about fiftv regular boarders, fifteen transient guests, and fortytwo servants. Nearly all the guests and boarders lost everything. The hotel building was owned by J. L. Morris, valued at $30,000. It was leased by <l. P. Fay, who owned the furniture and fixtures, and will lose $15,000. The hotel was built in IS3B, and cost originally $105,000. It was four stories high and 110x200 feet in size. Morris had $12,500 insurance, $2,500 each in the Insurance Company of North America, Commercial Union, Mercantile Marine, Fire Association of Philadelphia, and Detroit Fire and Marine. There was about $3,000 insurance on the furniture. The fire caught from a defective flue. Complete Destruction of a Business Block at Moorhead, Minn. Moorhead, Jan. 19. —The Key City Block, a brick structure which cost $40,000, burned to the ground early this morning.

Lady Gregory in London Times. It was not until the end of February tint I went, w ith Lady Anneßlunt, to see Arabi’s wife. They had moved some little time before to anew house, large and dilapidatedlooking, and which Arabi was represented as having fitted up in a luxurious style—in fact, at tiiat time the crime ‘most frequently alleged against him was that he had bought carpets to the amount of £l2O. I must confess that thore were some pieces of new and not beautiful European carpets in the chief rooms, but I must add that if Arabi paid £l2O pounds for them he made a very bad bargain. The sole furniture of the reception-room of Arabi’s wife consisted of small, hard divans covered with brown linen, and a tiny table with a crochet antimacassar thrown over it. On the whitewashed walls the only ornaments were photographs of him in black wooden frames, and one larger photograph of the Sacred Stone of Mecca. In the room where Arabi himself sat and received w T ere a similar hard divan, two or three chairs, a table and an inkstand covered with stains. His wife was ready to receive us, having heard an hour or two earlier of our intended visit. Bhe greeted us warmly, speaking in Arabic, which Lady Anne interpreted to me. She has a pleasant, intelligent expression, but having five children living out of fourteen that have been born to her, looked rather overcome with the cares of maternity. She wore a long dress of green silk. “My husband hates this long train,” she told me afterward. “He would like to take a knife and cut it off, but I say I must have a fashionable dress to wear when I visit the Khedive's wife and other ladies.” An old woman with white hair, dressed in the common country fashion—a woolen petticoat and blue cotton jacket—came into the room and occupied herself with the children. Presently we found that she was Arabi’s mother. She spoke with great energy and vivacity, welcoming us and talking of her son with much affection and pride. “I am only a fellah woman.” she said, “but lam the mother of Ahmed Arabi.” • She took me twice into another room to see an oleograph, of which she was very proud, representing him in glaring colors. A day or two before we left I went again to see his wife. She looked a little sadder, a little more anxious, than when I had last seen her. She seemed troubled, poor woman, because the Khedive’s wife, wflo used to bo kind and good to her, now says. “How can we be friends when your husband is such a bad man?” The old mother sat in the corner attending to the children aud counting over her beads. I said, “Are you not proud that your son is a pacha?” “No,” she said; “we were happier in the old days when we had him with us always and feared nothing. Now lie gets up at daybreak and has only time to say his prayers before there are people waiting for him with petitions, and he has to attend to them and then go to his business, and often he is not hack here until after midnight, and i.ntil he comes I cannot sleep, I cannot rest 1 can do nothing but pray for him all the time. There are many who wish him evil, and they will try to destroy him. A few’ days ago he came home suffering great pain, and I was sure then he had been poisoned; but I got him a hot bath and ho grew better, ami since then I keep even the water that he drinks locked up. But. say all I can, L cannot frighten him or make him take care of himself; lie always says, “God will preserve me,’ ”

A FAVORITE HYMN. Tlio History of the Hymn, “I Love to Steal Awhile Away. ” Musical Herald. “I love to steal awhile away," one of the sweetest hymns which is ever snng in public or private, is the composition of a woman. Mrs. Puce be H. Brown was born in Canaan. N. Y., on the first day of May, 1773, and, losing her parents in her babyhood, was cared for during her Underest years by her grandmother; and, at the age of nine years, she was bound out to service until she should >e eighteen. Hard toil was her constant lot, without a day’s schooling ind no church privileges. It was a wonder that, after the period of her slavery was at an end. she was able to devote her spare time to study, whereby, attending a school with little children, she learned to read, write, sew, and obtained some other knowledge of an elementary character Almost as soon us she learned to write, tne talent for composition made itself felt, and she besan to write verses and essays, mostly of a religious nature. She married Mr. Timothy H. Brown, of Monson. Mass., and tne greater part of her married iife was spent in Ellington. Conn., where was written her best hymn, that which tviil preserve her name to memory for long years to come: "I love to areal awhile away From t-ver.v cumbering cktc. And a pen.l the Mourn of setr:ng (lay In huiubie, grateful prayer. “I love In ROlltnde to nliad The penitent.a. tear, Ami ui. h;p promises to plead, When none hut God chu hear. “I love to think on mercies past. And future good implore, Ami al: my cares ami sorrows cast On Him whom 1 adore. “I love by faith to t:*ku si view Os brighter scenes in heaven; Tiie pro-pe.ct doth iiiv strength renow While here by tempest driven. “Tints, when life’s toilsome day is o’er, May its departing ray Be culm as tuis impressive hour, Aiid lead to endless day." Two tunes were composed expressly for this hymn: the one called “Monson,” by tier son, the Rev. Dr. Brown: the other, by William B. Bradbury, is called “Brown,” for the author of the verses. It is often very interesting to know the circumstances which lead to the composition of a favorite bit of verse or prose. This by tun was originally entitled “An Apology for my Twilight Rambles, addressed to a Lady;” and it was sent, when first written, to the lady who had unkindly criticised Mrs. Brown’s custom of strolling off by herself daily for a little twilight walk, accusing her of “neglecting her family” by doing so. In 1824 the verses were published, with the author’s permission, by Dr. Nettleton. in his volume of Village Hymns, and since that time it has been familiarly known aiid sung by Christians all over the land.

MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCES. They Are Accounted For by the Explosive Medicines Now in Use. Ni*w York Times. Explosive as nitro-glvcerine is known to be, it is far inferior in power to many other explosives. Among the new additions to the materia medica are several which, though harmless when umnixed with anything else, may form frightfully explosive compounds when mixed with some other remedy. For example, chlorate of potash and glycerine form an explosive in comparison with which nitre-glycerine is tame and harmless. Now, it often happens that a person, after gargling his throat with glycerine, swallows a chlorate of potash lozenge. It is then only necessary for him to experience a slight concussion, such as is produced when a man accidentally stumbles and strikes a lamp-post, for an explosion to follow. Tincture of iodine is also frequently applied to the interior of the throat of a patient, who soon afterward gargles his throat with a solution of ammonia. This forms a compound even more explosive than that formed by chlorate of potash and glycerine, so explosive, in fact, that the mere vibration of the throat caused by an effort to speak will result in an explosion. As to hypophosphite of lime and oxide of silver, either of those will occasionally explode spontaneously and when umnixed with anything else. And yet it is probable that hundreds of people swallow these explosives every day in the year. Any one of the explosives just mentioned explodes with such violence a3 to reduce tiie receptacle in which it is exploded to an impalpable powder. Curiously enough, such explosions are rarely accompanied with any great noise, unles the explosives are placed in contact with some substance as rigid as iron or granite. A single scruple of oxide of silver placed in the waistcoat of a fat man, and exploded by percussion, makes a report no louder than that caused by clapping the hands, but it destroys the fat man so completely that not the slightest particle of him can ever be discovered except by a chemical analysis of the atmosphere. This simple experiment, which can be tried by any person who has a fat friend, will be more conclusive as to the effect of oxide of silver when exploded than any amount of explanation could We now see what becomes of the men who mysteriously disappear. They are men who have taken some explosive medicine. A slight shock, such as a collision with a small boy. or an umbrella carried under the arm of some heedless pedestrian, causes the medicine to explode, and the report is so slight and the disappearance of the victim so instantaneous and complete that the whole affair passes unnoticed. Let the doctors look into this matter. It is one which closely concerns their prosperity. If they ara to have the good-will and assistance of undertakers and the confidence of the public generally, they must prescribe no more explosive medicines. A New Explosive. Sebastine is the name of anew explosive brought to light in Sweden, which is attracting much attention. It appears to be based upon nitro-glvcerine, but, while both more powerful and cheaper than the ordinary dynamite, possesses greater safety, because the explosive oil is more completely absorbed and bound by a specially prepared kind of charcoal anil other ingredients, and because in ordinary eases it requires no percussion cap to explode. In mining, sebastine is exploded simply by the fuse, providing the bore-hole is properly secured by a strong wadding, as in an ordinary charge of blasting powder. According to official statements not one single instance of accident lias happened from its use. The Swedish government having ordered trials of sebastine against dynamite, it is saul to have been proved that sebastine was far superior in effect and about equal in force to English gun-cotton when used in torpedoes.

The Attractions of the Yellowstone. UsporL of the Park. Nuporinteinlent. One of the greatest attractions of the Yellowstone region is Yellowstone Lake, 7,780 feet above the sen, almost on tho top of the main range of the Rocky Mountains but large enough to float all the navies of the world, and surtfQunded by some of the grandest mountain scenery in North America. Its waters, pure and cold—in places 300 feet deep—shine with tiie rich blue of the open sea, swarm with trout, and are the summer home of countless swans, white pelicans, geese, brant, Miipe, ducks, cranes, and other water-fowl, while its shores, ►ometimes grassy, but generally clothed wit It dense forests of pine, spruce and fir, furnish coverts ami feeding groumis for elk. antelope, black und white tailed deer, bears and mountain sheep. Scattered along the

shores of the lake, and on the mountain slopes which overlook it, are many clusters of hot springs, sol ta taros, fumaroles and and small geysers. At one point, a hoi spring, boiling up on the edge of the lake, has deposited the mineral carried in solution by its waters, aud built up a rocky rim about itself, so that wading out into the lake one can climb on tiie ritn of the spring, and standing there can catch trout out of the cold water of the lake, and without moving from his tracks can turn round and cook them in the spring. FORTY-SEVENTH CONGRESS THE SENATE. A Pointer for the Admission of Dakota— Further Consideration of tiie Tariff.
