The passage of what is known as the
i“Peace Preservation rot,” and wbieh is
n reality an oppressive law akin to the
“ Curfew ” law imposed by the Norman
conquerors in England, has been so
obstinately resisted in the English par
liament by the Irish members that the
business of the government has been
seriously obstructed.
Ann Eliza, the seventeenth Mrs.
Brigham Young, has come to grief.
Chief Justce Lowe has practically re
versed the decision of his predecessor
Keene which awarded her $500 per

rided that as there could have been no
legal marriage, there could be no legal
divorce, and hence no alimony.
The Russian government, it is re

Tuikey has neither capacity nor right

general European war.

The cracking of a picture in the sun

about thA discovery, or * rediscovery of
the art of painring in oil. Mezzotmto
owed its invention ny Prince sinner* to
the simple accident of a. sentry’s gun-
barrel being rusted in the dew, Henry
Sohanward, a Nuremberg glass-cutter,
happened to let some aquafortis fall
upon his spectacles, and noticed the
S asB was oorroded and softened where
e aquafortis had touched it. Tak
ing the hint, he made a liquid accord
ingly; he drew some figures upon a
piece of glass, covered them* with
varnish, and applied bis corroding
fluid, out away the glass around bis
drawing so that when he removed the
varnish the figures appeared raised
upon a dark ground, and etching upon
glass was added to- the ornamental
arts, Alois Senefelder, playwright and
actor, thinking it possible to etoh upon
stone in lieu of copper, polished a slab
for the purpose. He was disturbed by
his mother coming into his small labra-
tory with tho request that he would jot
down her list of things for the wash, as
the woman was waiting to take the
basket away. There being no paper or
ink handy, Senefelder scribbled the
items on his stone with his etching
preparation, that he might copy them
at his leisure. Some time afterward,
when about to clean the stone, he
thought he might as well see what
would be the effect of biting the stone
with aquafortis, and in a few moments
saw tna writing stand out in relief.
Taking up a pelt-ball charged with
printing ink, he inked the stone, took
off a few impressions upon paper, and
had invented lithography. TLa pelt-
ball used by Senefelder was long in-
dispensible in a printing office. A
Salophian printer, in a hurry to get
on with a job, could not find his ball,
and inked the form with a piece of soft
glue that had fallen out of the glue
pot, and with suoh excellent results
that he henceforth discarded the. peit
hall altogether, and by adding treacle
to the glue, to keep it from hardening,

nia, that they will have to contend
against the cheap labor of the large
Chinese population ; ou the Pacific coast,
and consoles itself with the- reflection
that Caucasian labor will oome off . vic
torious and drive the Mongolian popu
lation back to China.- This may be
true, bdtlhe record is that the China

for work, and the; existence of a large

Revival of the Iron
.
Trade, ' /
It is poor consolation in adversity to
kno w that we are not alone' iif our mis
ery; such as it is, however, our iron
manufacturers may take it to them
selves. The depression of the iron
trade is general throughout the world.
This state of things is partly the result
of an unfavorable condition of the gen
eral industry of the manufacturing na
tions, causing a diminished demand for
whatever involves a consumption of
iron, and more expressly it is the con
sequence of a severe check upon rail
road construction and the building of
iron vessels. As the iron trade is de
pendent upon a thousand other indus
tries and subsists upon supplying the
instrnments of industry and commerce,,
its present condition is the most ex
pressive oommentary possible upon the
state Of business among the commeicial
nations generally. The only cheering
faot discoverable in this unsatisfactory
aspeet of things is that the iron trade
of England begins to show distinctly
defined beginnings of a recovery. The
reduction in the price of iron is grad
ually increasing the demand for it; and
now the cheif obstacle to a steady re
covery appears to lie in the stubborn re
fusal of the workmen to accept the
wages that employers consider the
changed state of things calls for. This
i« a difficulty which, from the necessi
ties of . tlio csss, cannot ba prolonged
much further; and its settlement must
be in favor of the manufacturers.—New
York Bulletin.
—" Arrah, me darlint,’’ cried Jamie
O’Flannigsn to* bis loquacious sweet
heart, who had riot given, him an op
portunity to get in a word edgewise,
during a two honre’ ride behind the

"are ye aftherknowin’ why your cheeks
are like my ponies there? ’: ,J‘Shure
and it’s because they are red, is it?”
quoth the blushing Bridget. "Faith,

-If rumor be correct, the Princess
Clothilda will be shortly separated from

“ Oh why should a fellow feel sad
When it’s easy enough to-feel gay ?
Oh, why should he go for to die
When there’s overy.mducement to star ?’’
—An English justice fined a boy ten
shillings for whistling while a clergy
man was passing the gate, and that's
the sort of a little man John Bull is.
If the boy had been humming a tune
he’d have probably been executed.
—A genius thuB defines the difference
between men and women: "A man
gives forty cents for a twenty-five-cent
thing he wants, and a woman gives
twenty-five-cents for a forty-cent the
thing she does not want.”
—It must be rattier binding on a man
one hundred and ten years old to pick
up his favorite paper in the morning
and find a quotation like this in the
leading editorial:
“The good die young ;
Bat those whose hearts *re jitj Mfi. summer
dust .
Barn to the socket.
—An editor, who is evidently a man
of family, sagely remarks that a boy
who will yell like a Tartar if a drop of
water gets on his shirt band when his
neok is being wathed, will crawl through
a sewer after a ball and think nothing
of it. ' ,
—The Parisians say that they have
had enough of the high heel boot fash
ion for ladies. They assert that it flings
them too much forward, hints the
spine and reduces the size of the calf.
The doctors recommend the reverse
fashion, very low heels indeed, and
high soles, for a time, so as Jo fling the
body backward from the hips upward.
-Prof. Huxley, Dr. Sanderson, Mr.
Darwin, and other eminent biologist,
intend to petition parliament on the
subject of vivisection, in case it comes
up for discussion. While they are anx
ious that useless cruelty should be
prevented, they are extremely desirous
that no obstacles should be placed by
legislative aotion on research, and these
views will be embodied in the petition.
—"There is a dog.” This trivial
phrase was used by an instructor of
actors in Paris as the vehiole of an im
portant lesson. He taught them to
give it in the sense of various impres
sions, as, fear of the dog, love of the
dog, contempt for the dog, astonish
ment, regret, etc., and so exhibited
that it mattered less what words an
actor had to give than how he gave
them. , \
-Bald-headed men are only living a
i;ttl i in advance of their time. Accord
ing to Darwin, we are indebted to our
frisky ancestors, the ape, for our hair,
and men with long beards and prolific
scalps hive no reason to feel that they
are particularly superior to their less
lovely fellow-men. It may be extinc
tion to the barber business and a blow
to human vanity, but the coming man
is to be bald-headed.
—The trade in "blooded” dogs
is an item of no little amount. _ The
valne of these principally pointers,
brought to this oountry from England
during the last two years, is stated to
be $100,000. Tbe furore about Lave
rock’s red Lush setters, Gordon’s and
kindred breeds, is now as great u was
ever that in Japan about spotted rab
bits. No dog that oosta leas than $1,000
is now considered worth owning. These
valuable animals have their pedigrees
preserved with as muon care as the
nobility of England.
—The growth of Catholiasia this
Catholio tffiurch^in *the United States
probably numbers 8,060,000 communi
cants. The Oatholics occupy 6,920 sta
tions, chapels and churches;- they have
the servioe of 4,878 priests, flopostolic
vicars, 49 bishopB, 9 archbishops and 1
cardinal. They have 18 theological
seminaries, with 1,500 students; over
2,000 schools of all grades, and more
are among them' 7 different orders of
monks and friars. 12 of nuns, 8 different
