Great excitement was caused in Dublin,

(:lamntion under the t-uercinn not pro
claiming the county and why of Dublin,
In an urgent meeting oi the privy council,
alter considerable dim-nasion, this urgent
measure was resolved upon. There can
be no doubt. that the object of the, author-'
"has is to arrest Mr. John Dillnll, .\l. I’..
and other prominent. members oftlle land
league, who have recently delivered
speeches which bring them within the
scope ofthe act. Intention ot'this action
was kept profoundly secret. and a. rumor
which was circulated on duturduy night
was not believed. There can be little
doubt that :1 number of fcniun organizers
who recently returned to Dublin after
the ﬂat scare had been passed wull ﬁnd
themselves in a very unpleasant predica—
ment. ‘
The Herald's \\'u~ihington special suys:
The policy of the administration towards
Mexico and the Central American states
is to be of the most friendly character,
lookim: to extension of commercial rela
tions with their people and with pro
nounced und |bositiVe assurance that we
wish as neighbors ol fellow republics only
their welfare and proaperous‘ growth, and
have no desire or intention of territorial
occupation or nggrnndizemcnt. This
distinctly friendly and neighborly policy
comes happily at n time when our com
merce with Mexico is suddenly taking
very important proportions because it
will allay distrust and speed that proslier
our: trade. There is no doubt that the
impetus which the opening of Mexico to
American capital and enterprise Will give
to production and trade of both countries
isdestined to nrniom: theso~cailed “era ot

f Travel, Traillc and Commerce.
! Little does the world think what tre
mendous capital is required to carry on
its travel, trafﬁc and commerce. The
railroad net, woven all over the globe,
consists of 200,000 miles; Asia. Austra
lia, and Africa can claim only the tour
teenth part; the other thirteen-four
teeths being nearly equally diVided be
, tween Europe and America. The rolling
. stock in use over this railroad net con
: sists of 66,000 louomotives, 120,000 pas
. senger and palace cars, and 1,500,000
‘ freight cars. The capital invested in all
I t . . _
the railways is estimated at twenty bil
lions of dollars. The commerce of the
: seas is carried on by 12,000 steamers and.
’ over 100,000 sailing vessels. The ton
-nage of these vessels amounts to over
j twenty million tons. Telegraphic
. communication is maintained by
! 500,000 miles of wire, of wine
about ﬁve-eighths fall to Europe,
. two~eighths to America. and fully one~
eighth to the submarine telegraph sys
tem. There are 40,000 stations, from
which 110,000,000 dispatches are sent
annually, or on an average over 300,000
' daily. According to poFulation, Switzer-
Tlaud does the most te egrsphing, there
*heing one dispatch annually for every
‘ inhabitant. This is undoubtedly due to
. the great annual inﬂux of travelers and
{demure-seekers. Next come the Nether
ands, and then Great Britain. Russia
. stands last on the list, as she sends only
forty-live dispatches per annum for every
thousand inhabitants. The transmission
of letters by mail amounts in round
. numbers to about 4,0(K),000,tm0. Accord
! ing to the population of the several
5 countries, the Americans write by far the
’ mast letters; next come the English;
then Switzerland, Germany, the Nether
‘ lands, Denmark, Austria, France,
Sweden, Norway, Spain. Hungary, Italy,
Portugal. Greece, Russia, Serm, Rou
niauia, Turkey.
I’SALM XXIII.—This Psalm witnesses
how close to the youthful heart the con.-
sciousness of God must have been which
could thus transform and glorify the lit~
tle things which were so familiar. We
can feel in a lazy play of sentiment, the
ﬁtness'of the shepherd's life to suggest
thoughts of God—because it is not our
life. But it needs both a meditative
habit and a devout heart to feel that the
trivialities of our own daily tasks speak
to us of Him. The heavens touch the
earth on the horizon of our vision, but
it always seems furthest to the sky from
the spot where we stand. To the Psalm
ist. however,“ in higher ways to his Son
anddnord, all things around him were
full of God, and as the majesties of na
ture. so the trivialities of man's works--
shepherds and ﬁshermen—were solemn
with deep meanings and shadows of the
Heavenly: With such lofty thoughts he
fed his youth.
