It is safe to infer from Gladstone’s recent speech thst justice is about tC be done at last to the Irish Umant. The tenant has certainly waited long caough for it, if bis spirit meanwhile uM not always been as mild as it might have been. j - '-"A%sr*A The remains of Senator Carpenter are at last to be taken to the family 1 home for final interment. Th&sXen--ute has just come to -ion, and it is a disgrace thatit was not arrived at sooner. «■** ——i J-m—---m of death hap been uouoed agafnst the nihilists on trial in Russia for complicity in the tc&lli >ig of the late osar. As Sophie Plpofusky is of noble birth her sentence must be conflrmedby^h^zar* Pbof. Carpenter, the mesuaeiirif, recently gave A^number of his fleci*liar entertainments in Washington, and the people whom he hypnotised “acted like perfect fools.” A horrible suspicion dawns upon us that the pro-' feasor,While at Washington, hypnotized the senate when the members knew nothing about it, and forgot to remove the shell..

The ways of Providence and p*lifornia juries are past finding out. Laura Fair and Kalloch were, both acquitted in the Golden dtate, and a woman who recently shot her husband and then beutover his dying forth and blew his brains out "with her little pistol, has been found guilty of “iuvoltfntary manslaughter.” She couldn’t help it, you know. Poor woman. »..A Bible sold for SB,(M) in New York recently. It was the Untteuberg Bible and said to bay* l»eeu jV* first book-ever printed with movable types.

The sayiug is a true one, especially when one of the masters a 'man tries to serve is himself.

a v effobt is being made in the east to raise 'a fond for the purpose of enlarging and increasing the useful* ness of the school for Indian girls, at Hampton college, Virginia. The girl a now iirthe college acquire the EugHHPI language readily, apd give becoming useful women. The ides is a good one, but it strikes us that it would be an equally good one to do something toward educating the it-; dlan boys as well. Why discriminate as to sex ? ' ».

The Texans seem to admire. the new president. One of them recently sent him a miniature bale of cotton, aaying: “By this mail' I send you a bale of cotton to enter your cabinet of curiosities. The fortunate people 6uT >here are free from general elections for two yean, and have devoted their to increasing the Importance of their king—Cotton, and enhanalng the value of his empire—Texas. We fssl that Ohio people can successfully run the general government.” * > “ " - A man with the uncommon of Smith has recently published a card In a Texas paper apologizing for serving in the union arxby, anw .asking employers not to permit their “groundless prejudices” to debar nfl from employment. Any man whCii ashamed qfe having defended his slats in time of direst peril is worse by for, than those who fought against it. Hr. Smith should be allowed ,to tramp. Such a man would not earn Ids salt. Decent rebels and unionists should have nothing to do with him.

severe rebuke, and it is to be hoped that In case of Col.‘Garber's death the men who took advantage of his condition to help on their aapiratlons,wtil ' not only not get the office that they wanted, but never-be given officii, of any kind at the hands of either pgrf^., y ■ ■ ■ —■ ■ ■■■ ■ .a’ CoKSEcnccT man killedy his brother in i lit of drunken anger sixteen years ago, and has been in prteon since until a few days ago, when he was pardoned by the governor, glvgn a gold watch and S2OO and held a reception in the governor's room of ftl»U stats capftol the day of his discharge, being introduced to the msmbeis of the legislature and st-de officers, CjjyjJl the avertSiTconnecticut man.»
