IRISH MATTERS.
Dublin, April 6. -Capt. O'Shea, in a
letter acknowledging the receipt of an
apology from the Rev. Father Furlong,
who had in the course of a political ad
dress erroneously stated that the house
hold expenses of the O'Shea family were
paid by Mr. Parnell, says Mrs. Wood, the
aunt of Mrs. O'Shea, allowed her 115,000
annually. It is also intimated that the
O'Shea "divorce case will probably be re
opened, and that, should this be done,
further revelations damaging to Mr. Par
nell will be made.
The tide of Irish emigration is unabated.
Six liners during tho past-week took 1.24C
emigrants, mostly of the farming class,
but including a few mechanics or
tradesmen from Munster and Con
naucrht. The passages of these
people were fully two-thirds paid by
relatives in America. All the White Star
and Inman line steamers announced to sail
have already full lists of passengers.
Notwithstanding a downpour of rain
fullv 2,000 persons assembled in Phoenix
Park yesterday to assist in the demonstra
tion of the Amnesty association and pro
test ngainst the continued imprisonment
and alleged inhuman treatment of Irish
and Irish-Ameriean political prisoners by
the British government. After speeches
had been made by Mr. Kenney, Mr. Par
nell and others, resolutions were passed
calling upon Irishmen at home and abroad
to nut forth every effort to secure the re
lease of their friends and demanding that
the government hasten the unconditional
surrender of the prisoners.
Parnell's speech was a tirade against
the Liberals, whom he accused of always
making political prisoners while the Con
servatives released them. The same thing
might occur again and John Daily and
others convicted of perjury during the Lib
erals' tenure of office be liberated by the
Conservative government. Why, he ask
ed, dia not Mr. Gladstone release these
pr o lers in 1SS0? He (Gladstone) did not
hesitate to stoop to ascei tain tho opinion
of dynamiters in America as to whether
they would accept his home rule bill of
that year, and even went so far as to re
ceive some of these people at Hawarden.
Why did not he release the prisoners at
that time?

w.
H. HERNDON'S INTIMACY WITH
THE GREAT PRESIDENT,
Here a voice exclaimed: "Why did you
not make conditions?" while cries or ".Kill
him! Lynch him!" were raised.
In reply to his questioner, Mr. Parnell
declared that tho Irish party never made
conditions with the government. The
prisoners, he said, would rather rot in jail
than accept anything but their uncondi
tional release.
London, April C. Mr. Gladstone, in re
ply to an inquiry whether Mr. Parnell's
ntatement made yesterday at the meeting
in Phoenix park, Dublin, to the effect that
he (Mr. Gladstone) had received dyna
miters at Hawarden was true, telegraphs
that the utterance referred to is au abso
lute faleshood.
Official figures at Xorth Sligo would be
disappointing, solid as the victory is, were
it not that the Irish parliamentary party
had to fight not only Parnell but Unionists
as well. From most careful returns the
Tory votes polled for Parnell are fully 800.
This was an entirely unexpected interven
tion. It is true tho local Tory organ, the
Sligo Independent, advocated Parnell's
side, enlarged upon the dreadful things
that would come were priestly dictation
to be re-established, but most people
thought the Tories would confine them-
Belves to Platonic sympathy. When, how
ever, the rally came tho true blue Tories
were there side by side with the Fenians,
Making necessary allowance for this
strange alliance Parnell would seem to
bear the ratio of one to two so far as
professing active Nationalist voters are to
be counted, but there is a new class
rapidly forming of neutrals, of differents
who are quite sick of both sides und
heartily long for peaco and industry.
While these men are not attracted by the
bide hostile to Parnell they are stanch
home rulers and would eagerly accept any
reasonble measure which would not
violently dislocate the various interests of
Ireland. These all abstained from voting.
The leaders on both sides have a number
of letters from such men. They all seem
most anxious to have a swift and satisfac
tory settlement, which shall end tho
troubles of so many weary years of unrest
and worry. All these must count emphat
ically as anti-Pamellites, although they
find little to win them on the opposing
side. Connaught will probably be in this
strugglo whac it has been in so many
other struggles, tho vanguard of Ireland
Parnell's chances in Connaught are very
small indeed. He is practically sure of
North Mayo: so. too. he is nearly sure of
South Roscommon, possi bly Sou th Lei ti im
nnd South Sligo. Elsewheie his chances
are remarkably bleak. The deplorable
thing is that this wretched, fratricidal
strugglo must go on until the man who
causes all tho tumult i& brought to his
knees. Compromise or accommodation is
quite impossible. The fighimustbe fought
out to the eud. The number of illiterates
who turned up polling-day is so surpris
ing as to suggest that what Irish peoplo
want even more than a land bill'is an edu
cation bill.Ic is said that at one booth a
third of tho voters officially declared
themselves incapable of reading writing.

SPANISH DISHES.
The Two Were Iw Partners for Orer a
Score of Tears, and "Never Passed a
Word" Close of Herndcn'a Xon and
Unostentatious life.
The death of William H. Herndon, friend,
confidant, law partner and finally biogra
pher of Abraham Lincoln, brought sud
denly to journalists a realizing sense of
how little they knew of this man aside
from hi3 relations with Mr. Lincoln. That
he was an "original abolitionist;" that he
began the practice of law at the age of
twenty-four and was the partner of Lin
coln at twenty-five; that his every spare
hour after the death of the great Liberator
was given to the work of presenting a true
picture of the man, and that he died at
his farm near Springfield near the age of
seventy-two such are the purely personal
details.
But when one turns to the life of Lin
coln, every page of it, covering thirty years,
is redolent with Herndon. Nearly all that
the world knows of the early life of the
Liberator has been gathered and procured
by his affectionate, devoted, diligent
friend. From the very start their rela
tions were far more intimate than those of
partners usually are. Herndon was the
only man to whom Lincoln unreservedly
revealed his early affairs of the heart and
his later troubles growing out of the af
fections, and it is no small compliment to
DRS. TERRILL & PURDY.
DR. J. H. TEBRILL.
How to Use Oil in Cooking Without Its
Disagreeable Effects.
Though, as a rule, Spaniards of the
better class are not early risers, they be
gin the day with the desayuno, as they
call the meal. This usually consists of a
large cup of milk and coffee, or a small
cup of thick chocolate, -with a kind of
cake called ensaimada. The chocolate
is made with milk, never with water, ex
cept in the poorest families. Between 1
and 2 p. m. old fashioned Spanish folks
have their dinner. The table is very
simply laid with a clean cloth and sev
eral plates of sweets and fruits; flowers
seldom appear; saltcellar, pepperbox and
mustardpot never. A spoon, fork and
knife lumped together, a tumbler for
water and a small wineglass are set at
each place.
A Spaniard never commits the heresy
of mixing wine and water; he says it is
spoiling two good things. A goodly
sized loaf of bread flanks each plate.
The soup tureen is first handed round,
and, although its contents are a trifle
greasy, nothing can be more nourishing.
It is compounded of all the good things
that go to make up the classical cocido
or puchero. The substantial portion
with which the soup is made is placed
in three separate dishes and 6erved up
immediately afterward. On one dish
figure large, thick slices of boiled beef
and pieces of fowl with slices of bacon;
on another appear the garbanzos, or
chick peas, and on the third are the veg
etables with slices of chorizo, or sausage.
The cocido is usually eaten as it is,
though in some houses tomato 6auce is
added. Tho puchero, or cocido, takes
its name from the pewter pot in which
it is slowly boiled. In every well regu
lated home throughout Spain the cocido
is made onco a day, and a right good
thing it is, as at any hour you may
chance to need a cup of broth you can
be supplied with it. The next dish is
the frito. Frito means a fry, and the dish
usually consists of fried brains, fried
sweetbread, croquettes of fowl, etc.
In no country are things fried better
than in Spain, because good olive oil is
used to fry them in, and oil makes those
delicacies more crispy. That Spanish
oil may be turned to good account for
anything in cooking will no doubt cause
unbounded surprise. There is no deny
ing the fact, however. Food ill prepared
with oil is no doubt a trying case in so
far as the palate and nostrils are con
cerned, but a good Spanish cook knows
well how to disguise the taste of the oil
in many ways.
Tho simplest and perhaps the best ad
vice is to let the oil come to a boiling
point and to throw in a piece of bread,
which is taken out as soon a3 it becomes
brown and thrown away. This takes off
any bad taste the oil may have. Tho
pan is then carried to an open window
and the steam blown away, a process
which as effectually clears it of any un
savory smell. Boston Transcript.
RETALIATION.
MONTREAL. Quo.. April G. A special
from St. Johns, N. F., says that the New
foundland goernment has issued a
proclamation prohibiting the issuing of
licenses to buy bait to tho Canadians, and
confines the granting of them to New
foundland and American vessels only.
The action is in retaliation on Canada for
interfering in the island's attempts to
conclude a reciprocity treaty with the
United States, inducing the imperial cov
ernmeut to forbid it. Tho Canadian
government had, up to today, no reason to
doubt that tho modus viendi of last jear
legardiug bait licenses to Canadian vessels
would be continued this season, aud so
told all inquirers on that subject. The
result will ue a prote.-t from tho dominion
to tho imperial authorities, nnd another
brand thrown into the blaze of indiguation
that is now pervading the island. The
bame special says that tho convention
which Mr. Bond aud Mr. Blaine concluded,
but which was not ratified by England,
has been made public. It excepts green
cod (p.ckled) and minerals from the list,
and the result is a revulsion of feeling m
faor of the imperial government's refusal
to ratify the treaty.

A PARNELL RUMOR.
London, April 6. A sensation was
caused in the lobby of tho house of com
mons this evening by a rumor that Mr.
Parnen had been privately married since
tho O shea divorce proceedings. Accord
ing to this rumor, the lady whom Mr. Par
nell married is not Mrs. O'Shea. Several
Parnellites in the house of commons were
interviewed on the subject tonight, but
they refused to say more than that the
"mystery" of their leader's inner life,
often referred to recentlv, as certain to
clear Mr. Parnell's character, will shortlv
be explained.

Nearly Krerybody Is Superstitions.
"The amount of mental suffering igno
rant people undergo from the fear of ill
omens being fulfilled is inconceivable to
persons of well balanced minds," said a
well known physician.
This doctor spent two years at one of
the charity hospitals on Ward's Island,
and while there had an excellent oppor
tunity for observing many peculiarities
and various phases of humanity among
the outcasts of a great city. Continu
ing after a short reverie the doctor said:
"Of course superstitions have existed
and will exist as long as there remains a
belief in the mysteries of future life. It
is seldom admitted by persons of intelli
gence that -hey are, to a greater or less
degree, at all subject to the uneasy feel
ing an uncanny event will produce. But
it is really an exceptional thing to find a
person who has no superstitions what
ever. Generally the presentiments are
so unimportant that they are but sel
dom alluded to by the one experiencing
them, and are soon forgotten. But that
they do exist in nearly every mind ia
undoubtedly true." Chicago News.

WILLIAM HENRY HERNDON.
the biographer that he used his knowledge
most judiciously, as it is among the great
est proofs of Lincoln's inherent nobleness
of character that the more Herndon knew
the more he respected and loved him.
Without superstition one can easily be
lieve that a man of Mr. Lincoln's peculiar
temperament was molded for the awful
strucgle before him by peculiar personal
trials, and that he could not go through
the experiences of love and marriage in
the commonplace way of most people. On
this matter Herndon was the one man in
all the world who knew Abraham Lin
coln's mind. There was another point,
one on which many are yet sensitive, as to
which Lincoln and Herndon were long in
perfect accord, and that was religion.
Messrs. Holland, Arnold and others have
produced a respectable body of proof that
Mr. Lincoln changed his views. Mr. Hern
don certainly never did. He lived and
died a consistent and persistent deist, and
never believed that Mr. Lincoln had be
come aught else.
The partnership between the two was
formed on the 20th of September, 1843, and
continued in active practice till Mr. Lin
coln became president, and in form till his
death. The manner of its formation by
Mr. Lincoln was eminently characteristic.
As soon as he had settled with his former
partner, Judge Logan, he sprang up the
steps to where Herndon was sitting in the
office and said:
"Herndon, should you like to be my part
ner?" "Don't make fun of me," was the first
reply. Assured that Mr. Lincoln was in
earnest Mr. Herndon said, "You know I
am too young, and have no standing and
no money, but if you really mean it there
is nothing in this world that would make
me so happy." Mr. Lincoln immediately
fell to preparing tho papers, and so that
partnership was formed. They had al
leady become warm friends, and it was no
doubt the subtle instinct of Mr. Lincoln
that enabled him to perceive how com
pletely he could trust Mr. Herndon and
led him to this apparently abrupt action.
Sometimes it would happen that Mr. Lin
coln would reach the office plunged in the
deepest gloom; then Mr. Herndon would
retire, locking the door, and walk about
for au hour or two till the senior partner
had recovered himself.
It was not desirable that clients x hould
see them at such times. In happier
hours the friends discussed almost every
question that agitates tho human mind.
Through tho early part of their part-
nersnip tney Kept no partnership ac
counts, but simply divided the money as it
came in. But their business soon grew too
extensive and complicated for this. Twice
only was Mr. Lincoln more radical in his
anti-slavery action than Mr. Herndon, the
most notable instance being that of the fa
mous opening speech of ISoS, which con
tained the statement that "A house di
vided against itself cannot stand," etc. In
common with every other adviser Mr.
Herndon at first strongly opposed the ut
terance of such a sentiment. In 185G Mr.
Herndon took the remarkable liberty of
signing Mr. Lincoln's name to the call for
all opponents of the Kansas-Nebraska act
to convene, including Old Whigs and Abo
litionists. For this act he was severely
censured by the friends of Mr. Lincoln, but
the latter confirmed his action.
Just before starting to "Washington Mr.
iiincolnsaid to him, "Billy, you and I have
been together many years, and have never
'passed a word.' Will you let my name
stay on the sign till I come back from
Washington?" The tears came into Mr.
Herndon's eyes and he wrung the other's
hand in silence. To the day of the assassi
nation the sign remained unchanged, and
the business was done in the name of "Lin
coln & Herndon."
It only remains to add that after the
death of his partner and friend Mr. Hern
don continued to lead the same quiet, un
ostentatious life, gradually withdrawing
from business. A few years ago he pub-
i lisnea a three volume biography of the
j Liberator, of which a second edition, with
j much new matter, has recently appeared.
, Unlike many works on the same personaee.
it is not a florid eulogy or an apotheosis,
it is a history and description of the man.
! Other unpublished manuscripts on the
same subject are left in competent hands.
Mr. Herndon was born In Greensburg,
iy., uec. "Js, lsib, and was a resident or
Illinois from 1S20 to the time of his death.

In one of the Springfield grammar

example in arithmetic on the blackboard,
and had finished it with the exception of
the last two figures of the answer, which
was in dollars and cents, when she was
called out of the room. On returning
one of the pupils raised her hand and
eaia, -xnere are some cents to tne an
swer in the book, but there isn't any on
the board." "Why, Nellie, what do you
mean by speaking to me like that?" the
teacher exclaimed in anger. After the
school had been in a roar of laughter for
fully a minute it dawned on the teach
er's mind that it was "cents" instead of
"sense" that the girl was talking about.
