in a dispatch from Panama to the

sistant surgeon Russell and cadet
Midshipman Glennon, who had re¬
ceived a leave of absence at Callao
and went to a mountain village by
rail for recreation, were arrested
and detained over one night on
suspicion of being engaged in rev¬
movements. They suc¬
ceeded in communicating with the
minister of the United States at

rest was made without the least
cause, and the Peruvian officers
who were engaged in it were at
once dismissed from the service.

The” Real Situation in Ireland
James Radpath, now traveling in
Ireland. as tho correspondent of
the Now York Tribune, appears to
have his eyes about him, and has
not allowed himself to be di drived
hy_H’ory lies and b^ n r A rn knTOate
In his last letter he writes :
“The Dean of Cashel has address¬
ed me a letter that tolls some gad
stories of life among tho lowly in
Ireland, that has so often moved
the hearts cf tho civilized, world.—
Like nine out of every ten of the
cultivated priests whom I have met,
tho Dean docs hot licsitato to at¬
tribute tlie impoverished condition
of the people to tho disgraceful
system of land-tenure that prevails
in Ireland, a system that would
make a desert in ten years of Iowa
or Illinois. There is an impress¬
ion in America that tho agitation
against tho land proprietors in Ire¬
land is an agrarian movement. It
is nothing of the sort; it is an ear¬
nest effort to remove tho causes of
famine. Tho evidence is over¬
whelming, and comes from every
county, to show that the landlords
of Ireland are not contributing a
shilling to the relief fund, but, as a
class, they are mercilessly enforc¬
ing tlieir legal claims to their pound
of flesh frbtn 'their starving ten¬
ants.”
Fatal and Lamentable Accident
Wo have been permitted to make
the following extract from a pri¬
vate letter to a friend in this city,
giving an account of a most shock
ing accident which occurred h^t
week at Dungcnoss, Cumberland
Island, resulting in tho death of
the little son .of B. M. Davis. The
writer gives the melancholy' partic¬
ulars of tho sad occurrence as
follows:
“A terrible accident occurred
yesterday at Dungcnoss. Mr. B.
M- Davis, son of Gen. W. G. M. Da¬
vis, the recent purchaser, had tho
misfortune to shoot and kill his el¬
dest soli, a bright little fellow of
five years of ago. The family had
just moved over from Fernandina
the day before, to take possession
of their new home. A flock of roo
ins lighting in a tree near the
house, Mrs. D. called her husband’s
attention to them, and suggested
that he shoot some for their break¬
fast. lie got down his breech
loader and standing in tho doer
proceeded to put in a couple of

papa.’ Mr. D. hastened to the
child, and noticing the red stain
also on his lip, said; ‘Did papa
shoot j'ou in tlic month also ? ‘No,
papa, right here,’ he answered,
putting Iris left hand over the
wound in his right arm and side.—
Ho looted up beseechingly at his
father, but without any outcry or
screaming. Instantly llr. u., teok
him up, and as lie did so a violent
hemorrhage burst from the child’s
lips, and in less than fifteen min
utes the little fellow was‘beyond
the pass of shadows.’ It has spread
a cloud of sorrow over our little
community, and all tender to the
bereaved parents their heartfelt
sympathy.
It is needless to add that the
parents are almost crazed by this
terible, heart-rending disaster.”
London Truth: “iVomen are
seldom deceived in their estimate
of men's character, unless their nat¬
ural shewdness is blinded by love.
Then tln-y make stupendous blun¬
ders.”

The three are then passed between
polished steel rollers, ;u_d- the result is a

which the eases, baefcf, centres, bezels,
