LIFE IN IRELAND. Mr. Mandeville Turns on His Jailer—Evictions at Wexford—A Picture of Tullamore Prison. A cable dispatch from Dublin says: “A writ has been sworn out by Mr. Mandeville against the governor of Tullamore * prison for assault. The charges are based upon the treatment he received at the time his clothes were stripped off by the prison authorities. The eviction of Foley, a tenant on Col. Tottenham’s estate at Wexford, was resisted. The house was barricaded and boiling water and stones were thrown at the evicters. The officers secured a tire engine and drenched the tenants, who surrendered. Ten arrests were made.” GLOOMY TULLAMOBE. The prison buildings at Tullamore, in which Editor O'Brien and Mr. Mandeville are incarcerated, have .a very imposing exterior. Over the entrance is a large tablet bearing an incription recording tiro fact that the foundation stono of the building was laid in the fourth year of tho reign of his gracious majesty King George IV. by Baron Tullamore, the lord of the soil. In the prison there is accommodation for 200 prisoners. A small portion of the jail ;s used for female prisoners, of whmn there are rarely more than a dozen incarcerated at one time. The jail was not used for prisoners under Mr. Forster s act. Tho principal hard labor carried on in the jail has been pumping water, and, for prisoners not sentenced to hard labor, sack-making. MR. CARLISLE TALKS. Tho Speaker Confident that Congress Will Effect a Reduction of Import Duties. With regard to prospective legislation on the tariff Speaker Carlisle is reported by a Washington correspondent as saying: “I have every reason to believe that an equitable reduction on imports will bo effected during the coming session. 1 expect we shall develop the same opposition with which we have always had to contend. The Republicans will undoubtedly be found in the position which they have always held. Tho protectionists will wage as bitter a warfare as ever, but the reform must come. As to the reports which I have seen in the papers that a tariff bill is now in course of preparation I will say that as yet absolutely nothing has been done to formulate a measure.’ •You have seen tho stories with regard to your intentions toward Mr. Randall?’ ‘Yes, 1 have seen them. I can say nothing whatever on that subject. As I have already indicated, lam not tho Speaker of the next House as yet. When I have been elected it will bo time enough to talk about these things.’ ” NEWARK’S NUMEROUS REDS. Fears that They May Cause Trouble in the Near Future. The police of Newark, N. J., says a telegram from that city, are convinced that serious trouble with the anarchistic element is only a matter of time, and will develop as soon as a labor strike of any magnitude occurs. There is a very large foreign-born population. The Irish are to a man opposed to anarchist doctrines and look upon the anarchists with utter contempt. Among the large German, Bohemian, and Slavonian population, however, the seeds es anarchy have been industriously sowA, and the German labor organizations aro dangerously infected by anarchist ideas. Killed Two Indians. Victor M. Locke, a big stockman and merchant at Antlers Station, Indian Territory, was startled from his breakfast by the entering into his house of Jack Watts, a Choctaw, and an unknown Indian, with pistols in their hands. Mrs. Locke met the men at the door, and felled one with a stick of stove-wood. Meanwhile Mr. Locke had got his rifle, and, before they could fire, he shot both Indians dead. Most Cheerful. New York telegram: Anarchist Most seemed to be quite cheerful when a reporter called at his cell in the Tombs. “Os course we shall appeal to the higher courts, as in the Sharp case,” he said. “My case is somewhat similar to his, and I hope for a reversal of the judgment. It must be so for the sake of free speech." Sparks from the Wires. Tom Connors, of Pittsburg, offers to wrestle Evan Lewis in Chicago for $250 a side. Diphtheria is alarmingly prevalent at Montreal. There were thirty-two deaths from the disease last week, and it shows no signs of abating. A colored woman named Collins, who was once a servant of General Jackson, has died in Nashville, Tenn., aged 118 years. The revenues of the Government for the month of November amounted to about $30,500,000. The disbursements were unusually heavy, over $18,000,000 being paid out on account of pensions alone, and it is estimated foat the public debt increased by nearly a million dollars. It is said that Henry S. Ives has found substantial backers who will place him in ■control of the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton railroad. French and English shipbuilders are negotiating with the principal iron manufacturers of Bilboa, Spain, with the object of establishing extensive naval yards in the province of Biscay, and it is stated that the Spanish government will enter into contracts wilh them for the building of men-of-war. EAST. Powderly’s friends in tho Knights of Labor organization of New York are said to be anxious to precipitate a strike on the street railroad lines of that city iu order to demonstrate how strong the administration is. A judicial decision has been rendered which will prevent a Pennsylvania coal company from carrying out its intention to evict striking miners from their homes. The New York Court of Appeals has reversed the decision in the case of Jacob Sharp and ordered a new trial. The aged boodler, when the news was broken to him, I manifested no emotion whatever, and seemed even to take but little interest in the matter. Since his conviction he has fallen into a moody, stolid state of indifference to all outward things from which it seems impossible to arouse him. Johann Most appeared in the witnessbox in his own behalf at New York, and denied that he had made use of the violent language attributed to him. In his charge to the jury, the Judge said that ho failed to find anything in the speech of the defendant as he gave it at the trial that came within the statute; but after being out over tour hour-> kho jury returned with the verdict that he was guilty as charged in the indict-

ment. Most, while on the witness-stand, was asked by the prosecuting officer to state bis views. “We do not tight against any particular Gov- l ernment," said Most. “We do not especially J fight the Government of the United States. We I are opposed to Government as such ; we think ! that tho power held by the Government should I he abolished.” Most said that tho “ruling classes" were in rebellion, and it was possible that even what the people had —the Constitution of the United States—would be taken away. His motto was, “Education for organization ; organization to put down the rebellion of tho capitalistic class." “We do not expect that the capitalistic classes will give up what they have peaceably. There will bo fierce fighting on both sides." “Bombs end dynamite ?" asked Mr. Nicoll. “Yes, on both ! Bides." “Your idea is to conquer peaceably if j you can, by force if you must." "That is history. We believe foice will be necessary in time.” Mr. Nicoll asked Most as to his belief in a supreme being. Answer—”l do not." Mr. Howe, his counsel, tried to menu matters. Ho said : Do you believe iu a great First Cause?" “I say," said Most, ’as Socrates did, we know that wo do not know.” T. V. Powderly is in New York collecting information to be used by the Knights of Labor in their attempt to induce the Government to establish a telegraph system of its own. He states that he will officially answer all charges of reckless expenditure by the General Executive Board during the last year. His arrangements to visit Europe aro complete. lio expects to leave next May. WEST. At Wausau, Wis., a building occupied as a residence by Carl Honikel, his wife, and five children was burned, and the father and children perished. Mrs. Honikel received injuries of a serious nature. The luilding was a wooden structure, double-boarded, tilled in with sawdust, and very inflammable. The froi.t was used for sleeping rooms and the back as a kitchen. The tire started in the kitchen, and the family were doubtless asphyxiated before they were reached by the flames. The fire depiytment was very slow in responding to the alarm. Honikel was a hard-working, industrious Gorman. When dragged through the window he had clasped in either arm the inanimate bodies of two babies. The building was fired by an incendiary. Mrs. Honikel, upon recovering consciousness, and on learuing the fate of her husband and children, raved like a maniac, and it is feared that if she lives she will be hopelessly insane. A terrible tragedy is reported from the Indian Territory, which grew out of the attempt of a deputy marshal named Dalton to arrest a horse thief named Smith. Tho latter was found in a tent, in which there were also another man named Dixon and bis wife. When the officer inquired for Smith the desperado rushed out and fired upon him, and a general tight ensued, which resulted in the killing of Dalton and Smith and Mrs. Dixon. Dalton and Cole were brave men, have killed several desperadoes iu tho Nation, and were looked upon by tho United States Marshal as tho best men on his force. This makes fifteen United States Marshals killed in Indian Territory during the last two years. A boiler exploded in the hotel known as the Kirby House, in Milwaukee, Wis., and one woman was instantly killed, a number of others fatally injured, and some seriously hurt. In all, fifteen persons were wounded. An Indianapolis special says: “Stories of cruel and inhuman treatment of prisoners in the Indiana reformatory for women and girls caused Governor Gray to make an investigation, which was concluded today. He says he found the inmates were afraid to give testimony in the presence of officers of the institution, and it became necessary for him to request the latter to withdraw from the room where the investigation was conducted. The prisoners talked freely after that. All agreed that the cat-o’-nine tails was often used upon their bare backs, and some of them bore deep marks of their punishment. Another mode of chastisement was to thrust the hands of the prisoners through holes in a door and keep them iu this position from one to three days with handcuffs. The Governor will at once recommend a reform in the management of the institution.” SOUTH. A negro named Bigus was taken from the jail at Frederick, Md., and hanged to the limb of a tree. The man was charged with assaulting an aged white woman, but he died protesting his innocence and accusing another negro of the crime. After the most exciting campaign in the history of Georgia, the Prohibitionists were defeated at Atlanta and in Fulton County by a majority of 1,12’2. Four years ago the county was carried by the Prohibitionists by 2d J majority. Hereafter whiskj’ will flow free as water in the capital city of Georgia. An Atlanta dispatch says: The principal fight made on prohibition during the campaign was that it did not prohibit, and that intoxicating drinks could bo openly purchased in a number of places throughout the city, which paid taxes to the United States Government for the sale of whisky. Thousands of gallons have been sent in each month from cities around Atlanta, from which it was almost as easy to get a jug as it was at burs in tho city. The antis claimed that prohibition injured the city, which was recoiling tJ.OOO a year in whisky liscenses without increasing in the slightest the amount of whisky soldin the city. The Prohibit mists, on the ether band, claimed that Atlanta never had prohibition; that while it was so voted years ago, the licenses then existing did not expire at some of them until almost a year ago, and that since that time rhe domestic wine clause in the local option bill allowed many places in the city by which the law could be easily evaded. This was, however, remedied by the last Lcgi.ltiture, which put a license of D,o>’> on all wine-rooms, which license will go into effect after Jan. 1. A Minneola (Texas) dispatch states that a heavy wind-storm blew down a hall in that place during the progress of a dance held by colored people. Five persons were killed and about twenty injured. About seventy persons were in the hall when it ■ collapsed. Six of the injured have arms I or legs broken. The killed are: Thomas | Hardeman, Jack Wilson, Reuben Garrett, i Fannie Benson, and Rose Benson. FOREIGN. A cable dispatch from Paris says: “M. j Grevy on Sunday informed M. Bouvier of : his resolution to resign tho Presidency, and said that he would send a message to the Senate and Chamber of Deputies on next Thursday. M. Rouvier proceeded at । once to the residence of M. Floquef To nounce the resignation of the President.” It is reported that the interview between j Bismarck and the czar was a stormy one, i and that the iron chancellor bullied the Russian autocrat to his heart’s content. The alliance between Germany, Austria and Italy explains Bismarck’s temerity. Uharles A. Gillig, of the American ! Exchange, London, says that Mr. Glad- I stone will visit this country in April and make a six weeks' tour of the country “Mr Gladstone,” said Mr. Gillig, “has so "far overcome his dread of an ocean voyage that he will make a short trip io this country in the S| ring. Ono thing that tended to bring ■ about this change of mind in Mr Glad- , stone was the fact that his physicians have I long advised him that an ocean vbyage would be beneficial to his health, and as he has always cherished a desire to visit this country, now that his diead of the ocean has been conquered, be embraces the opportunity eagerly.” Cable dispatches on Saturday from the French capital thus outline, the situation nt that date: President Grevy still stubbornly resists the demands for liih immediate resignation- Iho press unanimously ccndenms the prolongation of the crisis. Le I'fo.e taya ITcsideiit Grevy will not resign before he has placed the r nubile in a safe positii n. It declares' that tho Orleans prjnpes are very actß> afid warns Rep ibl cam ■ to reflect oil the iLprsn they are taking. A meeting will 1-e held in the j’elleviljs quarter ।

to-night to adopt moasures, as the call says, to conform to the situation. Councilor Vaillant presided at a revolutionary moating iu Salle de Fovrior last evening. Two thousand persons were present. ; Deputies Canelinot and Basly delivered । violent speeches directed against Ferry. They declared it necessary for the people to march j to the Hotel do Ville to prevent the King from I going to tho Tuileries. Resolutions wore adopted declaring that the people called upon the popular forces to organize themselves to venture everything against extortioners and traitors. The meeting dispersed with cries of “Vive la commune.” There was no disorder. Lord Salisbury’s speech before the meeting of the National Union of Conservatives, at Oxford, makes it clear that । the Premier feels that ho is absolutely dependent upon tho support of tho Liberal Unionists. He outlined a rather extended platform of reforms which the Government proposed to introduce at the next session of Parliament, and said that he did not intend to propose increased powers of local government in Ireland until there was a marked change there. The rumor that a Berlin physician has at last succeeded in isolating the bacillus which is supposed to cause cancer has attracted much attention in Berlin, as it is generally thought that such a discovery might in some way be advantageous to the Crown Prince, says a cable dispatch. 'The discoverer is a young physician. Dr. Scheurlen, an assistant at the Royal Hospital. Pending further experiment Dr. Scheurlen prefers not to explain his methods and the results of his research. Dr. Scheurlen is positive regarding his discovery, claiming that no loopholes for mistakes have been left; but before publishing his experiments he wishes to submit them to the members of his profession in Berlin for their judgment. Cancer, by tho way, has long been supposed to be the result of some micro-organism. Several of t^e most eminent microscopists have been at work on th > same problem which Dr. Scheurlen hopes he has solved. GENERAL. Near Portrero, a suburb of San Francisco, fire destroyed two blocks of dwellings, rendering forty families homeless, and causing a loss of $75,000. Tho burning of the Windsor Packing House at Des Moines, lowa, entails a loss of $250,000, with $195,000 insurance. The owner will rebuild in the spring. The following is telegraphed from Panama to the New York Herald: The lievista Catolica of Bogota, speaking of mission work in Colombia, says that in Caqueta, San Martin, Casanuro, La Goajira, Sierra Nevada, Choco, Opou, and Darien th re are over two hundred thousand Colombians who live a savage life. Many of these people, mon, women, and children, are stolen and sold into a life of slavery of the vilest description. Sometimes combats take place, from which results tho slaughter of hundreds, whose bodies are loft wheio they fall. The Itevista Catolica also refers to tho plunder of Colombian citizens on tho Putumayo and Napo by Dolores Remedios and to his infamous slave-dealing transactions, end particularly to his public sale on the lower Amazon of women stolen from Colombia. A MYSTERIOUS disease is said to be claiming many victims nt Posoya, in Chili. The victims are first taken with pains in the stomach, followed by a flow of blood from the mouth, and sometimes from the eyes ami ears. A New Orleans dispatch says “The steamsh p Harlan, just arrived from Central America, reports that November 28 an armed force of Nicaraguan soldiers boarded the American steamship W. S. Moore and schooner Nevada, both wholly owned by American citizens and duly licensed by the Mosquito Government to trade in tho ports of that country. The officers and crew abandoned everything to the captors, who, when their authority for the seizure was demanded, presented their muskets. I lie owners o the vessels are making an appeal to the Government of the United States for redress.” The tobacco crop this year falls far below the average. Tho eastern and western leaf crops and all the market stocks of tho United States make up 360,1)00,000 pounds, against 541,000,009 tho preceding year, and 575,000,000 two years ago. The seulling-racc for the championship of the world between William Beach and Edward Hanlan on the Napean River at Sydney, Australia, was won by Beach. DUBUQUE’S BRIDGE DEDICATED. The completion of the high bridge over the Mississippi River at Dubuque was celebrated with great enthusiasm tn that city. There was a procession and speech- making, and a large number of visitors were present from tho surrounding country. A Dubuque dispatch says: Tho high-bridge celebration was a success. Tho morning was bright, and the city deeorated for tho occasion. Tho prin pal thoroughfares fluttered witli flags mid bunting. At an earlv hour great crowds begun to pour in. All railroads ending to Dubuque brought their tribute, while thousands of country people fom Illinois and Wisconsin entered the (it, over the now bridge. ly IJ oclo'k ti-o city was filled with strangers. Great interest centered in the parade, and 1 ng before the appointed hour the streets along the line of march w ere thronged w ith eager spectators. The parade was the largest and most interesting of its character ever seen in lowa. It was over throe miles long, and the trades display embraced every branch of manufacture and commerce iu the city.

“LET US HAVE PEACE.” No War Justifinbto Except War on Erroneous Opinion. The great Chieftain who lies buried at Riverside no doubt felt the full force of the prayer: “Lot us have peace.” He had leaned that “Civil war leaves nothing but tomos.” Hie greatest military heroes have not been those who shed blood for the love of it Wellington said, “Take my word for it, if you had seen but one day of war, you would pray to Almighty God that you might never nice such a thing again.” The sentiment that war is a“rolicof barbarism,” and—as a method of settling international dilferenoes—should be shelved with other obsolete relics of darker ages, is a growing one. Ihe idea of arbitration is more bofiUmg modern civilization. But it is recogn zed that the sentiment “Let j us have peace” must bo given a broader meaning if its lull benefit is to bo realized. We see the catholicity which the trend of modern thought develops in the efforts for the union of the churches, the striking down of the barriers which iiave been a hindrance to the advancement of tlio true faith. It is noticeable, too, in the leniency, growing yearly ^oro marked, shown by the medical school^ 'oward each other. 1 nue was when a practK-unor of one school willingly, if not gladly, noted tho death of a patient of a physician of another school, 'duo “brotherhood of man” ideas of tho present day took no root in the medical profussion of a quarter of a century ago. Now, physicians of the highest stand ng admit, and dure publish to the world, their belief in the efficacy of that professional bete noir, the proprietary medicine. dhe late Dr. J. G. Holland, an educated physician, some years ago wrote in Scribner's Magazine, of which he W'as editor: “It is a fact that many of tho best proprietary medicines of the day are more successful than many ph#«’tci>nß, and most of them wore first discovered and used in actual medical practice.” Milhous of people all over theglobe confirm this statement. The celebrated Dr. R. A. Gunn, of the Mod- | ical College of New York, in his published I book, recommends tho use of Warner’s safe cure in cases of bright’s disease, and other kidney disorders, and says ho knows the remedy is used by leading physicians. It not only cures kidney disease, but the many other common named diseases which would not prevail were tho kidneys sound. That great public teacher, Dr. Dio Lewis, had the courage to write to the proprietors of । Warner’s safe cure, after a full investigation i of its merits, “If I found myself the victim j of a serious kidney trouble, 1 should use I your preparations.” Tho serious nature of kidney disorders is that they are the real cause of nearly all tho diseases from which wo suffer. If, therefore, the kidneys are k pt in health, we shall escape all such diseases. Tho world is growing more tolerant, as intelligence increases; Grant but voiced tho growing sentiment when ho prayed “Ixd ns have peace,” and Tennyson budded better j than ho knew when he wrote: “Ring out old shapes of foul disease ; Ring outilie narrowing lust of gold ; Hing out tho thousand years of old. Ring in the thousand years of pence.* Unskillful Workmen. Tho apprentice system fifty years i ago has long since been entirely aban- ; doned, and the common remark nowi adays, that skilled workmen are scarce, says the I'ra<Heal Mechau o . is not | particularly strange. Boys who go to work at any of the mechanical trades. I nowadays, are apt in most eases to cheat themselves, and permanently ini pair their future usefulness, by quitting after a few weeks or after a few months' service, and seeking employment elsewhere as skilled workmen, when in | fact they at best acquired but a smat- ! tering of some of the simp'est details of their trade, The tendency of such A course is to put these incompetent workmen on a level, in one sense, with tho older and far more skillful portion of a shop's working force, or, rather, the tendency is to drag the skilled workmen down to the level of the other class. The object of the incompetent class is not to do as much work as possible and do it as well as possible, but to ge» through the working hours and do as little as possible, and when they find in an establishment a trueblue, thorough workman who doos a fair day’s work and does it well, the incompetent shirks are ready to combine to reduce the faithful, intelligent workman to their own incompetent level. I'ho great fault with many labor organizations is the fact that they are in too many cases tilled up with this incompetent class, who adopt that method of backing themselves up, in their lack of skill and faithfulness. They aro simply pretenders, who know but little of their trade, manifest little disposition to learn more of it, and when at w ork aro constantly in danger of spoiling work, thereby entailing needless expense upon their employers, and often causing annoyance and expensive delays. A skilled workman is given the best work, because the management has confidence in his ability to properly • perform it, but this very fact excites jealousy among the skillful workman’s incompetent shopmates, and he very soon becomes the object of their dislike, if not of their positive hatred. Uis employers dare not pay him according to his merits, for that would increase the general disaffection. and so if he desires to have peace with his fellow-workmen he must sink down to their level. Business is unsettled in the whole labor market by tho discontinuance of the old apprentice system. By that system all workmen would be compelled to possess a degree of skill and efficiency which would exalt merit to its proper standard, and thereby effectually do away with the bickering and jealousies which are the result of a lack of merit. —American Cultivator.

Ata somewhat mixed ball given at a seaside resort a gentleman who was a dentist asked a lady to dance without tho honor of a previous introduction. He f-aid in explanation of tho oversight: “My dear Miss, you will not r< gard mo in tho light of a stranger when 1 assure you that I had the pleasure only a few months ago of pulling two and iilling three teeth for your father.” The Arkansaw Traveler notes something in the same line. “Tommie,” said a New Mexico lady, addressing her son, “you shouldn’t make so free with the gentleman. You never saw him before.” “Yessum, 1 have. He’s tho man that shot pap.” “Oh, is he? 1 thought ho was a stranger. Go back and talk to him if you want to. ” — Tea as Siltings. Dr. Frantzel, of Berlin, reporting on the effects of immoderate smoking upon tho heart, says that smoking, as a rule, agrees with persons for many years, although by degrees cigars of a finer flavor are chosen. But all at once, without any assignab’o cause, troubles aro experienced with the heart, which compel tho calling in of the doctor. Common cigars are not so liable to produce these effects as the finer flavored ones. Nor can the charge be laid upon cigarettes, although they produce evils of their own. Tho troubles seldom begin till after the smoker is over thirty years of age, and most usually attack him at between fifty and sixty. While it has not been determined what it is that makes smok ng injurious, it appears certain that the effect does not depend upon the amount of nicotine. The discovery of a new gas is a rare and important event to chemists. Such a discovery has been announced in Germany by Dr. Theodore Curtins, who has succeeded in preparing tho longsought hydride of nitrogen amidogen, duimide or hydrazine, as it is variously called. This remarkable body, which has hitherto ba I'ed all attempts at isolation, is now shown to be a gas, p;ufectlv stable up to a very high temperature, of a peculiar odor, differing from that of ammonia, exceedingly soluble in water, and of basic properties. In composition it is nearly identical with ammonia, both being compounds of nitrogen and hydrogen. Ie tho coneludons a woman has reached are sound, that is all com crus us. \nd that they aro very apt. to be sound on tHo practical matters of domestic and secular life, nothing but prejudice or self-conceit can prevent ns from acknowledging. Tho inference, therefore, is unavoidable that the man who thinks it beneath his dignity to take counsel with an intelligent wife stands in his own light, and betrays tli it lack of judgment which he tacitly attributes to her.

Many persons are troubled wilh a chronic tonden yto constipation. They are of bilious temperament. The complaint to which they are subject, though easily remediable by judicious trestim nt, is, in many cases, aggravate I by a resort to drastic purgatives and cholagogues. As the human stomach and bowels aro lined with a delicate membrane, and not wilh vulcanite, they cannot stand prolonged drenching with such medit ines without sor o is injury. Nothing restores and counteracts an habitual ten lency to constipation so effectually as Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. Its laxative effect is gentle and progressive. It neither convulses nor weakens the intestines, and its effects are unaccompanied by griping pains. It arouses the liver when tho organ is sluggish, promotes digestion, and encourages appetite and sleep. For lover aud ague, kidney troubles, nervous complaints, and incipient rheumatism, it is incomparable Tako a wineglass before meals and see how soon you will relish them.
