IRISH CONSTABULARY.

A Police Organization of Over 12,000 Well-Armed Men. The royal Irish constabulary is composed of the inspector-general, toe deputy inspector-general, three assistant inspector-generals, thirty-six county inspectors, -a doctor and barrack master, ninety first-class district inspectors, ninety second-class district inspectors, forty-five third-class district inspectors, 260 head constables, some 2,400 sergeants and acting sergeants, and soma 9,600 constables. ■Of the non-cOmmissioned officers and constables 236 are mounted. The recruits are chiefly taken from the farmer class, though, of course, the cities and towns provide their proportion. Very great care is exercised in their selection. The candidate must be over 18 years of age, not less than 5 feet 8 inches in height, and 36 inches round the chest. The Irishman has a natural instinct lor drill, andJthe recruits at the depot pick it up very rapidly and well. The recruit on joining his country station has, like the young officer, to put into practice all he has learned in theory at the depot. This is by no means as easy as it might seem, and it is a year or two with him also before he is ■worth much as a policeman. His average patrolling work is some six hours in the twenty-four. This may seem little in comparison to the eight hours’ beat duty usually performed by, the metropolitan policeman, but then the royal Irish constable is never out of uniform when off duty.. He is liable to be called on at any moment. He can not go far or remain long away from his station, and sometimes on detachment duty, in disturbed places, he is working for twelve or fifteen hours daily for weeks together. A patrol never consists of .less than two men. In the daytime the senior of these is. armed with a revolver, the jurior carrying a baton only. In disturbed districts by day, and everywhere at night, the patrol is fully armed, the senior with a revolver, the -others with carbines. The duration of a patrol varies from three to six hours, •of which a portion is always spent in ambush. Andon a cold, wild winter’s eight an ambush in a wet ditch is no pleasant task. A. recruit under six months’ service is paid £BO per annum. A constable of over six months’ and under four years’ service, £54 12s; over twenty years, £7O 4s ~ The allowances, etc., of the noncommissioned officers and constables are as follows: Boot allowance, 2s 2d monthly per man; arms and straw allowance. for keeping tho arms in repair and tilling the palliasses with -straw, 9d per man monthly; lodging allowance for married men over ten years’ service, 4s 4d per month. On the other hand, there is a deduction from the single men of 4s 4d per man monthly for barrack accommodation. For every night that a head constable is absent from his station on duty he gets 4s 6d extra pay, and a sergeant or constable similarly absent gets 3s 6d. A head constable is allowed ls9d when absent from his station for ton consecutive hours, except on the Ordinary duties of his district, and Is 3d for eight hours’ absence. A sergeant or constable is similarly allowed Is 6d and Is respectively. A head constable receives Is 3d marching money for every eight miles marched on the same day •when the place marched to is outside his own subdistrict, and a sergeant or constable Is under like circumstances. Each man receives an allowance for making up clothing sufficient to cover the expense of having his uniform made by the tailor. There is also a fuel and light allowance granted to each station, which covers the expenses incurred in this respect. Officers and men in the force become entitled to pensions on a scale laid down by acts of parliament after a certain number of years’ service. Under the latest acts dealing with this subject the pensions are not so good, proportionately to the pay, as they used to be. Of late years the tendency has been to increase the pay and allowances and lessen the pension of members of the force, but on the whole no complaint can be made. Speaking generally, the uniform of both officers and men resemble that of ft rifle regiment, except that the officer’s patrol jacket has five tags on it instead of braid.

The Prosperous Dutch.

These people, and indeed all Dutch people, are beyond doubt contented and comfortable. The have the happiest of temperaments and no anxieties. They are the wealthiest nation in Europe. They have the best of food and wines and music and education; their climate is healthy; their history ts honorable and stirring; they smoke cigars at one cent apiece that would be dear in New York at twenty times that sum. Their homes are beautiful to look at and delightful to live in. Their country is.a miracle. The men who made New York and have stamped themselves all over the United States came from this little land, whose total population scarcely equals that of London. If I were not an American I would be a Dutchman. Np other nation of Europe comes into competition with them.—Julian Hawthorne.

Saving a Watch.

“If you ever drop your watch in the water,” said the jeweler to the delegate, “hasten to throw it into a cup of alcohol or whisky. That will prevent the works from rusting. John Church and Mr. Hill one of his business associates. were down south fishing and by • some mishap their boat was upset and they were thrown Into the water. Both had fine watches and both were forever ruined because they dld not know what to do to prevent the movements from rusting. Just bear this in mind.”— Cincinnati Times-Star. Ammonia and alum taken in food, works great injury to the human system, and this especially in the cases of delicate women and frail children. Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder is free from all such noxious substances. It to pure, healthful and economical.

CURRENT COMMET.

Chicago is the best representation of “American progress.” New York has grown by virtue of its situation, Chicago by virtue of its energy. Chicago ought to have the World’s Fair. A recent attempt to desecrate the grave of Ralph Waldo Emerson calls forth the most indignant and righteous condemnation, The only cause for the ghastly and dastardly deed seems to have been the enmity aroused by the activity of Edward Emerson in ferreting out and bringing to punishment local law-breakers. It would seem that of all men the gentle sage of Concord, who during his life taught nothing but peace and love to hi& fel-low-man, might be permitted to rest quietly in his grave; but local rancor and petty greed know no limits, and the only comfort is that the soul of the philosopher is out of reach of the base attacks to which his body is still liable.

China appears to have been in earnest when it threatened to expel every American residing in the Celestial Empire as a retaliation for our Chinese exclusion policy. The threat has been repeated with somewhat of a warning attached to it. If carried out, China will gain nothing by being spiteful, but will certainly lose a great deal. There are few if any American-born laborers in China, but there are several American merchants and agents on the coast, and these buy very freely from native houses and factories. To expel them would involve the loss of an enormous quantity of very profitable trade. Recently an energetic freebooter held up the mayor of Litchfield, 111., and relieved him of his valuables. But the mayor—crafty man—had foreseen the occurrence and was merely baiting the highwayman, and as soon as he had the crime fastened upon him summoned five policemen, including the chief of police, who'surrounded the robber. A general melee ensued in which the highwayman did up the entire crowd, together with the mayor, and escaped unhurt with the latter’s valuables, leaving that crafty gentleman wondering who the horse was on. But this daring free lance has at last met his match in the person of a humble sheriff, who fought him for ten minutes all over the jail corridor, down two flights of stairs, and desisted only when the robber fainted. All through the fight the sheriff had a revolver in his hand, which he refused to fire, holding that it was unnecessary to use a weapon upon an unarmed man. Would for the sake of law and order that there were more sheriffs who would dare a long and almost mortal combat sooner than shoot where they thought they were not justified.

Taken Unawares.

Unsuspected causes for malaria exist everywhere. a sunken lot partly filled wbh water in the vicin ty of your abode, a new location upon ami filled in, hut formerly overflowed or marshy, and causes far mor.e occult than these, produce the atmospheric ml.smata which constitute the germs that, if inhaled, linen into fever and ague and congenital maladies. A person taken unawares with a malarial complaint should, as Stou as it declares itself, seek a d from the safe, non-disappointing, cordial me>iiclne, Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, which has for over a third of a century, and In. every quarter of the globe, relieved the malariastricken. and neutralized minsma in air and water.

A Curious Map.

Writer In Washington Capital. I saw a map in the library of the War Department which I have often wished to see again. It was Mr, Cameron’s idea of what the map of the United States ought to Idbk like’after the suppression of the rebellion. In it the names of the revolted States wepe obliterated. None of the Southern State lines were retained. Even the border State lines were rectified. Delaware was absorbed by Pennsylvania and Marland. Maryland also took in the eastern shore of Virginia; Virginia was divided and the ancient name disappeared; natural lines were adopted to form new States, and Louisiana west of the Mississippi was thrown with Texas to make four new States, but none to come into the Union until 1880. Florida was obliterated, States takirtg the place of Mississippi, Georgia and Alabama getting a coastline at her expense. I hope this map has not been destroyed. It would be of great interest to the future historian, as showing what a politician would have done with the United States if he had had the power. From all that I observed in those early days of the war I am convinced that the revolution did not go deep enough for Simon Cameron, and that it went deeper than was anticipated at its beginning by Mr. Lincoln.

OVER THEIR GRAVES.

Over their graves rang once the bugle’s call, The searching shrapnel,and the abashing ball; The shriek, the shock of battle, and the neigh Of horse; the cries of anguish and dismay; And the loud cannon’s thunders that appall. Now through the years.the brown pine-needles fall, The vines run riot by the old stone wall, By hedge, by meadow streamlet, far away, Over their graves! We love our dead where’er st/hfld In thrall— Than they no Greek more bravely died, nor Gaul— A love that’s deathless! but they look to-day With no reproaches on us when we say, “Come! let us clasp your hands, we're brothers au/rz:: Over their graves! —Henry Jerome Stockard in The Century.

Josh Billings' Philosophy.

New York Weekly. Thare iz nothing we are more apt to parade before others than our kares and sorrows, and thare iz nothing the world kares so little about. If you hav enny doubt about the vast amount ov virtue that the last generashun possest, go and studdy the epitaffs in the grave-yards. Take affability, good sense, honesty and good breeding, mix them together, and shake them well, and you hav the ingredients for a gent eman. The good things a man duz are hard to remember, the easy things are dredful easy. The world seems to be governed bi example; thare iz hardly enny one so low down the skale but what he haz hiz imitators. Truth kan stand alone, but a lie haz to lean on sumthing, generally another lie. Thare iz nothing that grows so fast, and reaches maturity so quick, and begins to dekay so soon, az a mushroom. It would be well for sum pholks to think ov this.

Don’t Waste Your Time

and money experimenting with doubtful remedies, when Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery is so positively certain in its curative action as to warrant its manufacturers in supplying it to the public, as they are doing through druggists, under a duly executed certificate of guarantee that it will accomplish all it is recommended to do, or money paid for it will be promptly returned. It cures torpid liver, or biliousness, indigestion, or dyspepsia, all humors, or blood taints, from whatever cause arising, skin and scalp diseases, scrofulous affections, (not excepting consumption, or lung scrofula), if taken in time and given a fair trial. - - The proposed pugilistic mill frequently turns out to be a wind mill.

How to Gain Flesh and Strength.

Useaftef each meal Scott’s Emulsion; it is as palatable as milk. Delicate people improve rapidly upon its use. For Consumption,Throat affections and Bronchitis it is unequalled.

Catarrh Is a complaint which affects nearly everybody, more or less. It originates in a cold, or succession of colds, combined with impure blood. Disagreeable flow from the nose, tickling in the throat, offensive breath, pain over and between the eyes ringing and bursting noises in the ears, are the more common symptoms. Catarrh is ■ ured by Hood's Sarsaparilla, which strikes directly at its came by removing all impurities from the blood, building up the diseased tissues and giving healthy tone to the who.e system.
