HUMORS OF THE CAMPAIGN.

EDGAR L. WAKEMAN'S IRISH LETTER. Hi Parnell Demonstration at Shanballj The Maalcal Contingent II amorous Disappearance of Ireland's Liberator Bow Pyne Avoided Arrest, Etc. Doxeraile, Ireland, June 3. There is po much misery in Ireland that I sometimes think the few notes of mirth and merriment which escape through the minor chords have always an added rharm and delight. The pig-headedness of the governing classes furnish many ridiculous contretemps; while the intensity of the loyalty of the Irish people to their dream of home rule, and their extraordinary alertness to prove by memorial, contribution, deputation and public demonstration, their attachment to their leaders, are often at the bottom of flips, haps and errors which in their outcome are mirth-provoking beyond adequate exprepsion. AVhileloitering about the northern part of county Cork, in the vicinity of the Poet Spenser's old castle home, I learned of a delicious instance of an extraordinary reception to Parnell, at Shanballymore, which never gained publicity, and which the great Irish leader no doubt ever recaUs with awe and wonder, if never ith complacence and pride. Shanbauy was loyal to the Irish cause to the backbone.' Every peasant soul within, and in the vicinity of the little hamlet, pave the landlords and agents roundabout, had declared for Farnell and the league. Tney w ero all "aching their hearts sore" to put their loyalty on record, "wid a yell tha d make parlaymint, ewate bad luck to lt. tri ruble like an ould corrag." Shanbally was also the home of Ned HobBon, steward of the New York Cuban steamship, "Niagara," one oi the most rollicking practical jokers of men. Every f ummer Hobson came back here t "Shanbally for a bit of vacation among the old folks. His parents were land owners, and therefore uncompromising torics. But he cared little whether tenants paid rent to his father or "the campaign fund;" was an out-and-out good fellow ; and was fairly worshiped "among th "byes" for his well-known apostasy from Ealfourim, nnl e f pecially for the free hand with which he dispensed his American-earned money, rot always without a touch of tenderness among the poor and suffering, but always with such lack of partiality that half the parish were constantly in an uproar from practical joking a.id poteen. Bat neither S"ed Hobson nor Mr. Parnell have looked upon the fine faces of the Shanbally yeomanry since lSi. One June inornins of that vear as Höhten rode down into the vilfajre from his father's barricky old mansion, he noticed a general air of suppressed importance pervading the little place. Never since Father Mathew tad preached his great temperance sermon m Shan ball v, which was hospitably uproarouslv applauded at the time, but condemned in the privacy of the home, as calculated to "spile the eperrit of the byea," had the village shown such general agitation. From the humblest village ehaughran up to Father irady, who, "attinded their sowls and kept a pig," there was a kindling and awakening in the manner ot all. "Morning, boys," said Hobson, genially, dismounting at "Foxv PriscollVshebeeh, the only place of public resort in all Shanbally, hat's the excitement about, this morning? Half the town's rostherinj? at th street corners and I suppose the ether half would be out. too, if they wern't in jail, or dodging summonses. What have you been up to now, boys? potting another landlord ; a friendly turn with the constabulary ; or duekins a few more Enslish tourists?" (.lory be to tlod," replied Foxy Priscoll Mveronly. hanbally wor niver behindhand in sthandinjj out bouldly for her rii?iif?. whether in thriving disngrayrnrntP vrjcl the 'poiis,' or a friendly shot kt a landlord ; but tes omethin more' important than ayther; surely you must have heard the great news. Pairnell's comin'a Tbnrsday next, to make a spache on the wrongs av us all ; and its the foine sthyle we must recayve him in. At Bally been lat Chewsday, whin he wor there, they had a barrel of whiskey, free to all, an' lour pipers playin 'God save Ireland' all the time he worn't spakin" ; an', tare an' cutis. Misther"ed, Shanbally can niver re takin' a back eate to a durty patch of cabins (tes no more for all their praete's house an' wather-raill) like Ballybeen; an' sure, Misther Ned, wid yourprand exparience av the nobility an' deppytations an' the loike, yez can put us in the way of rowlin' their pride in the dust!'1 Hobson, ready for anything that promised undue hilarity, "From a proper pride in the town that has known me from childhood," he said, but with a portentiou3 twinkle in his merry eyes, which remark was greeted with loud shouts of approval and cries of "Oh, thim'ri the beautiful sintiments!'' "Tes in parlaymint yer honor shud be !" "Ned wor i ver wid ns, heavin be thanked!" and the like. They made him chairman at once, which he properly acknowledged at Foxy Drisroll's bar; he appointed a committee of twelve from the admiring Shanballyites around him ; he compelled their emulation by a discourse on the liberality at rival Rallyheen, where 15 was raised for the Parnell demonstration; and in a jitfy, on heading the lint with 1 himself, had 27 IDs M "in the hat," and the promise of the price of one of his pics when disposed of at Kildorer fair oh the morrow from a stanch patriot, Larry Halloran, just out of nine months in Cork jail for a little difficulty with the conutabularv, into which he had strayed in a thoughtless moment without being prepared with the usual alibi. Within a davor two Ned was on hand with his report of a plan for the forthcoming demonstration. In so important an affair as this, he urged the eye, the ear, the heart and the inner man must all be touched. Banners and mottoes should be had in prolusion. Those which had already done righteous duty at the incarceration of divers Shanbally victims in Kilmainham jail had been procured. Bally been had had four pipers making the air heavy with "God save Ireland." For every one of the P.allyheen pipers a pjreat band of music had been secured. There were the eye and the ear done for. Parriell himself, Father Grady and other illustrious patriots, would take caro of the heart. For the inner man, as fine a cold collation as one would joy to see, with a rousinjr barrel of whisky to keep it company, w ould be eet in Mike Hennessey's barn. "Bat, ye blackguards," said Ned with a fee scorn, betokening intimate acquaintance with his old friend., "it's an elegant lock I'll keep on that same, 60 that ye'il rot be 'soft' before the ceremonies bepin. Father Grady'Il head f lie committee in his new car with bin pran inp nag, and bring Parnell, in real Purlin style, from thf -t;;-tion to the hr.nl;.tljy. I'.s.t it's need! I'm telling you that t have t'o erund coup thoroughly eii' ctive, it n.ti-t l- r. Furpr:3c entirely. fco instead of having the band in fall view of our truest, as is customary, we've decided to ambush them ' in the great ditch on each side of the road, behind the walls on the top of the hill, where Parnell will enter the town. Then,-as the immortal liberator is being Jowly driven between the concealed hosts

of musicians, he will be greeted with such a martial burst of melody as will make the rocks tremble on Knockmealdown mountains; and if he doesn't ever after acknowledge it the proudest moment of his life, may freedom never come to old Ireland !" The eventful Thursday came and nearly all the inhabitants of northern county Cork with it. The little streets, away out countryward were soon tilled with vehicles of every description, from the prosperous tradesman's outride car to the bone-breakinqr donkey-butt of the petticoated hillside farmer. Shanbally was suddenly stormed, overflowed and altogether surrounded by several thousand people. Even hated rival Rallyheen was all there this day, with raised eyebrows and pursed lips, scornfully mindful of Shanbally's sudden glory. But fchanbally's folk themselves were wild with pride entirely. In the midst of all, Ned Hobson, chairman and grand marshal, with a glowing and confident face, was giving his final orders for the disposition of the unusual musical contingent. But now an unexpected dilficultv arose. Three of the four bands were of very recent origin. Each played one tune only, but that one with all their lungs and loyalty.' By doing more than justice to the one melody, they thus escaped criticism on the grounds of diversity. They could not all play together without more or less confusion. That was certain. Which band should take precedence? Mr. Connors, of the "Fermoy Trumpeters," with treat feeling asserted that to hear his "byes play 'The Wind That Shakes the Barley is a träte not often experienced," and that he could not consent to performing before a public whose feelinps had already been lacerated by the "Honerail Minstrels" in a raid upon "Tho Night Before Iarry Wa iStretched." Nor would the "Mallow Beethovens" for a moment consider standing in the shade of the "Killinane fc-erenaders." Dismay and ruin stared fShanbally in the face, until in a burst of desperation Hobson shouted: "Well, then, all play together and be damned to you!" a sugcestion accepted by all parties with outward manifestations of satisfaction, and inward determinations on the part of earh band as they marched to their rendezvous, to play the other out of countv Cork altogether ; as evidenced by 6ucn whispered signiticant remarks as that of "Doneraile's" big drum to his companion of the cornet: "Av the inds only sthand, Tim darlin'. 'Mallow' won't be in it this blessed day !" Scarcely had the musical force been planted in the ditch, where to the last minute a score or so of its members protected loudly that their brogues were "all under wather," when a small urchin, acting as a look-out in a tree-top near the ambush, announced the approach of the distinguished party, the priest's frisky horse "ethepping liko a major." "Now then," exclaimed Hobson to his men ; "down out of sight, every mother's son of you. And when I give vou the word, 'Now, boys !' let 'em have it with a will, for the sake ot old Ireland!" Gallantly the cars rolled along. Father Grady in his best hat and coat and a large sprig of shamrock in his button-hole, driving the liberator, closely followed by the cars of the proud committee. Great were the cheers that went up from the thousands massed along the road, hanging in the trees, perched upon the walls, piled into vehicles and swarming upon the house-tops along the way. It was a proud moment for Father tlradv, for Ned Hobson, for triumphant Shanbally. "Thus, Mr. Parnell," said Father Grady with a beaming face and gesture of pride toward the enthusiastic people, thus it is that we wel !" "Now, boys!" roared Ned Hobson from the top of the wall. Father Grady's sentence was never finished. The four bands split the air with a thunderbolt of discord. The priest's skittish horse- fairly squatted nnd quivered. Parnell became a tritle pale, ami turned to Father Grady as if in inquiry. F.ut there was no time for explanation. The horso rose upon his hind legs and pirouetted for an instant. The bands blared and thundered louder than ever. Crazed with fear, the animal took the bits and the road with a famous leap. Away went horse, swaying and banging car, the priest and Ireland's liberator, like a flash ot light down through village 6treet, np the ringing road, and on and on, faster and faster, finally disappearing in a cloud of dust far out on the old Dublin highway. For a moment the peoplo were speech Icfs. Then realizing that the enthusiastic musicians, who were still at it in the ditch with might and main, playinn as never before or pince for local honors, were the cause of the appalling fiasco, they get upon the innocent performer with cries of, "hamers ye are, that have drummed the great Farneil out of town enthirely !'' and drove them, big drum, little drum and trumpet, like scattered flocks of sheep, f-om the town of Shanbally forever. It is related that the spirited animal never stopped running until Caher, half way across county Tipperary, was reached. Father Grady was not seen until the next Sunday's mass, the biggest for the same ever celebrated in Phanbally. Mr. Parnell got back to Dublin without an accompanying deputation. But neither the grat Irish leader nor the wicked Ned Hobson, who escaped somehow in the melee following the sudden disappearance of the people's idol, for varying and various reasons, have ever since been seen by the loyal and waiting Irishmen of fcfhanballymore. The late Douglas Pyne, M. P., for West Waterford, one of the most lovable of men, as I knew from personal acquaintance, in the fall of 187 threw the whole United Kingdom and a part of America into roars of laughter, from his odd and characteristically Irish mode of avoiding arrest for upward of three months, with the police, soldiery and a warrant literally under his very nose. The "seditious offenses" which had brought the law upon him consisted in tunneling from his own land to the house of a neighboring tenant undergoing siege for eviction, and in this novel manner supplying him now and then in his dilemma with courage and comfort in the form of an odd bottle of whisky and a snug hamjer of victuals cooked by good Mrs. Pyne herself. Mr. Pyne was considerable of a wag, and as it was October when he was "summoned," his crops were all in, and as parliament did not meet until January, he decided to employ the intervening time in having a little fun with the minions of the law. His place was at the edge of the old town of Tallow, on the shores of the murmurous Bride just above its confluence with the ßlackwater. He was a tenant, as were all the farmers about him, but the Elace was an important holding; and his ome was one of those old and now almost obsolete mansions of the Irish gentlemen of half a centurv ago. Not a stone's throw from the mansion stood the ruins of the castle Lisfinny, one of the most ancient of Erin's castles. The huge square keep is still intact. Its ivy-covered walls are fully ten feet thick at the base, and risp, with here and there a narrow windo w, over 100 fret above the ground. Into this strange structure 1'yne and two of his companions retreated, availing up and completely barricading the lower entrance, and, provided with canned meats, fruits and other edible, with an unknown quantity of whisky and cigars, here he grandiosely defied arrest. An entire com pany Tot Balfour's soldiers proceeded to dislodge him. But that was impossible. An entrance could cot be effected. Ever if one had been made, arrangements were such within that anywhere from one to a dozen tons of rock

could have been precipitated upon the invaders. Mr. Pyne soothingly told the soldiery all this, and much more which made their duties particularly agreeable. The situation becoming known, Lisfinny was the center of attraction for all Ireland. Throngs came to Tallow daily to cheer Mr. Pyne, who sagely addressed them on the wrongs of Ireland from a window ninety feet from the ground; while the unfortunate soldiery were the butt of immeasurable and inexpressible ridicule. Thirteen weeks of this tremendous farce continued, when finally the great question as to how Mr. Pyne would take his seat in parliament grew to be universally discussed. Irish wit and resource answered this promptly. Suddenly there appeared placarded all over the counties of Cork and Waterford a notice announcing that Mr. Douglas Pyne's grazing lands would, on a certain day, be sublet by auction. Toward evening of that day every road leading into Tallow swarmed with Irish cattle and Irishmen. By sunset over 1,000 cattle were bellowing and charging around the base of old Lisfinny, while fully 101 tenant farmers, swearing, protesting, fighting, managed to have the soldiers hopelessly stampeded by the excited herds. It is nearly fifty miles by road from Tallow to Cork harbor. In the melee, a clever ruse by Pyne's friends among the tenantry, the eminent offender was lowered from his eerie, and by relays of swift horses was at Queenstown before midnight. The next night he was in the south of England, and ten days later, while Balfour's soldiers were still closely guarding old Lisfinny, that the arrant rebel should not escape, Douglas Pyne quietly entered the house of commons in Ixmdon, and gravely took his seat in parliament, amid such cheers as never before or since made the great structure tremble to its very foundations.

THE ROTATION OF CROPS.

THEIR GOOD EFFECT ON THE LAND. Other Farm Information Silos Need Not He Weighted Jan Buddln; Hemedles For Plant L.lce and Mildew Farm Votes Household Hints. No syatem of farming is said to be complete that does not include grass as one of the crops in the rotation. Green grass makes more beef, more milk, more wool, and greater growth of young stock than any other food that is allowed, in proportion to cost, as it is most plentiiul at a season of tho year when the demand of the animals for supplying warmth and repair of waste is at its lowest degree, and also because the animals harvest it themselves by grazing. It is the grazing of the grass by the animals that reduces its cost, compared with grain and hay, that adds to its value, and for this reason the farmer can afford to grow grass for his stock alone. But grass performs another function. It adds to the fertility of the soil. A crop of clover sends its roots deep down into the subsoil and appropriates food that is far beyond the reach of surJace-feeding plants. This etored fertility, which is just as much beyond the reach of the farmer as though on a neighboring farm, is transmitted to every portion ot the plants, and the substances in time find their way back to the field in tho shape of manure. The farmer, therefore, enriches his field through the agency of clover by bringing from below the fertility of the subsoil and transferrins it to the toil. But there are other 60urces of fertility to which clover plants apply, which is the nitrogen of the soil brought down by the rains as ammonia or nitric acid, and a large proportion of this nitrogen is ptoed in tho roots, which, when tho land is plowed, leaves a large amount of available (lant-food for the grain crop that may folow. Clover, however, draws very little nitrogen from the soil itself, as it prefers potah, but it leaves for the next crop a certain food not necessary for itself but highly important for grain. If a piece of land is kept continually in clover the land becomes "clover sick," thus indicating that, though plant-food exists that is more suitable for grain, there is no longer an abundance of that preferred by clover. Hence we find largo yields of grain on land formerly occupied by clover, the land, in the course of a few years, by judicious rotation of crops, adapting itself to clover again. By properly rotating crops, making clover, wheat, corn, oats and potatoes, follow each other, or by any other preferred system of rotation, the land is given better cultivation, fewer weeds spring up, and the soil is not exhausted of certain elements at the expense of diminishing its fertility, though plentifully provided with other elements. By rotation of crops the loss of the ingredients of plant-food are more evenly balanced, and each crop will yield more than when the land is devoted exclusively to one crop for several successive seasons. June Budding; Success. (American Agriculturist. The most important element in budding this month is to get the trees large enouch to bud by the 10th or 15th of June. For this purpose the Reed should be bedded in June or July, or thereabouts, of the preceding year. Select a warm spot on the south side of a hedge or building; take off an inch or two of the top soil until ä solid bottom is found, which 6hould be packed down hard and leveled; place boards edgewise alone the sides and ends of the bed, fastening them by etakes ; put the seed in the bed from two-and-one-half to three inches deep; put light Foil over them about two or three inches deep. Natural Tennessee or Virginia seed is beet. In planting, pelect an early piece of ground: plant the pits a little farther apart than for fall buds; cover a little deeper than usual, to protect them from late frosts. As soon as they begin to show above pround rake lightly with a 6tecl rake. Force the little seedlings from the very start, eivinjr them extra cultivation, always keeping the soil around them loose and moist. To the beginner the budding may seem tedious, but those who have done it for several years bud from two thousand to four thousand per day. Remedy for Plant Lice. Tobacco water is an old and useful application for the "green fly" and all other "plant lice" or aphide, upon bouse plants or Upon those in the open ground. Tobacco stems, or any other kind of tobacco, may be covered with water in a kepr or other convenient vessel and allow to eteep for some days. This will make an infusion much too Btronp for delicate plants, and should bo diluted with water until the color of strong tea. The early, tender growth of some fruit trees is often be.-et by dark-colored aphides in such numbers that the shoots look black. Young trees may have the branches bent down, and their ends immersed in tobacco water. Those that cannot be treated in this way should have the tobacco water thoroughly applied by using a syringe. fellos Need JXot He Weighted. A cover to the silo, or weights, are wholly unnecessary. The silos that had no covers of any sort, last year, did not show more surface waste of silage than those covered with paper, boards and sawdust. Only two or three inches of silage molded w here no surface protection was used. The two or three inches of white mold made an air-tight cover that offered all the protection needed. The silos covered with a foot of dry straw, well tread down, showed the leaßt loss of any. Those who covered closelv and weighted, report the greatest loss. There is no more necessity of weightipg a silo than of putting 200 pounds per square foot on a potato heap. Preventive of Mildew. Take three pounds each of flowers of sulphur and quick-lime. Slack the limo and boil with the sulphur in six gallons of water until reduced to two gallons. Allow this to settle, then pour off the clear liquid and bottle it for use. An old iron pot will answer to boil it in. A gill of this liquid, mixed with five gallons of water, is an excellent prevention and cure for mildew upon plants showered upon them as soon as the mildew appears. Household Hints. A teaspoonful of salt in eah kerosene lamp makes the oil give a much clearer and better light The juice of tomato is said to be excellent for removing ink, wine, and fruit stains. Spots may be taken from gilt frames by rubbins: lightly with a piece of flannel moistened with white of an ej?g. A teaspoonful of pulverized alum mixed with stove polish will give the stove a fine lustre, which will be quite permanent. Instead of a baby basket, fit up a bureau drawer. First lay wadding around sides and bottom, a faint "mention" of satchet powder, then cover with blue or pink satin quilted is best Make a thermometer case in form of a crescent Cut in heavy card, cover with plnsh, edge with eilt cord, and finish with bows and loops of ribbon. Sew thermometer in place, a bow of ribbon at top (narrow ribbon is hest for this) and hang crescent by a loop.- . Furniture needs cleaning um much as other woodwork. It may be washed with warm soapsuds ouicklv. wined dry and then rubbed with

an .oily cloth. To polish it rub with rotten stone and sweet oiL Clean off the oil and polish with chamois skin. Paint spots can be removed from clothing, even after they have become dry and hard, by the use of turpentine. I hare seeu a gentleman's sleeve, which was thought to be ruined with paint, make to look like new again by rubbing with turpentine. It is also an excellent remedy for bed-bus. Apply plentifully with a feather to all suspecting cracks. It is sure and safe. Make a photograph case of peacock-blue plush lined with old-gold quilted satin. Measure the plush 24 inches by 9 inches and line with satin of same size. It is a good p'.an to put in a thin layer of cotton and sprinkle with sachet powder, before sewing lining and outside together. Fold each end about 11 inches to form pockets, tack together, and finish with a cord, either to match one of the colors, or the two colors together. Sew the cord all around and across the top of each pocket Ribbon of the two colors tie in a bow when the case is closed. The outside can be painted or embroidered. At the sub-tropical exposition in Florida last winter I saw them making crazy-work dishes, and will tell you how they did it Take a bowl, for instance, and spread putty all over the outside of it Then take your broken dishes as many kinds as you can get and press the pieces into the putty, matching them just as you do crazy patchwork. Should there be any small places in which yon cannot fit a fragment of a dish fill it out with putty. Paint the edges and joints with gold, silver or bronze paints, and you will have a novel and pretty ornament rw Houtekerper. Farm Notes. Throw plenty of dry dirt in the pig-pen and on the door of the stalls. When flies are very numerous in the stable it indicates that it requires a thorough cleaning. Keep the soil around your pear trees clean the first year and cive an application of wood ashes occasionally. Warm water will not answer for the cows on a warm day. Shade is also indispensable for stock in the summer season. Wet grass is injurious to young chicks, even in the summer. Do not tnrn the hen and her brood out until the sun is well up. Insecticides should be used before the damage to fruit is done. It is too late after the insect has found a retreat in the fruit Boxes for wrens should have openings not exceeding one inch in diameter. It such boxes are provided, the wrens will take possession of them. liens will become lousy now, if not provided with dust-baths and the hen-houses kept clean. Lice propagate very rapidly in warm weather. Keep the soil around cabbage plants frequently stirred and they will grow faster. Weeds and grass must not be allowed among cabbages. Ducklings of the Pekin, Aylesburg and Rouen breeds can be made, with high feeding, to attain the weight of five pounds each when they are ten weeks old. It is not too late to set out more sweet potato plants. As the ground is still damp they will get a good start and grow rapidly. They love plenty of sunshine and warmth. Water the young celery plants with a solution of a pound of saltpeter in twenty gallons of water. Thin them out if too thick, and use only the strung and stocky plants. Sell the young geese in preference to the old ones. Old geese make the best breeders, are more careful with their young and give a large supply of feathers when plucked. A Holution of a gill of carbolic acid in a bucket of water, sprinkled over the floors and yards cf pig pens will assist in preventing bad odors ana lessen the number of flies. The blackberry is a persistent weed and a nuisance if allowed to secure a stand on a piece of ground where it is not wanted. Every piece of root that is cut off makes a new plant Dig a trench and fill it nearly full, cover with earth, and leave it for your next setting down of asparagus roots. It will have time to decompose, especially if occasionally moistened with soap sudd. Keep the burdocks down. They delight in plenty of food, and a plant of burdock will rob the soil for yards around its base. As fast as they show their shoots above ground they should be chopped ofl'. A dead limb on a tree should never be allowed to remain. The sooner all limbs and branches that Bhow signs of decay are cut ofl the better. The tree will thrive better, and the new wood on the other portions of the tree make more growth. No matter how cleanly the business is otherwise conducted, if the milker continues to smoke while milking the milk and its products will be tainted with the odor and flavor of to

bacco. Nothing is more sensitive to outside odors than milk, cream and butter, and ibe air of any place where milking is conducted must be kept pure. Ayer's Tills are palatable, safe for children, and more effective than, any other cathartic Men and women prematurely-pray and whose hair was falling are enthusiastic in praising Hall's Hair Renewer for restoring the color and preventing baldness.
