Death of Buckshot Foster.
The Bight. Hon. William E. Forster,
formerly Chief Secretary for Ireland, is
dead. He had been ill for some time.
He was 08 years of age. Mr. Forster
was born a Quaker, his father being a
minister of the Society of Friends, liv
ing at Bradpole, Dorsetshire, England,
where on July 11,1818, his son William
Edward first saw the light. In man
hood, however, young Forster aban
doned his early faith, and became a
stanch defender of the Established
Church. Forster's father came to the
United States on an anti-slavery mis
sion shortly before the war and died
here, and his body now lies buried in
Tennessee. In 1874 Mr. Forster came
here, and made a memorial gift to the
Quaker school at Friendsville in hunor
of his father's memory. After attend
ing school at Tottenham, young For
ster entered life as a worsted manu
facturer, and when he had established
himself successfully, he married in
1850 the daughter of the late Dr. Ar
nold, headmaster at Rugby. Mr. Forster
entered politics in 1859, and failed of an
election to Parliament fromLeeds.
Two years later, however, he was re
tained from Bradford, and he ha3 con
tinuously represented that borough in
the House of Commons since that date.
Mr. Forster entered Parliament as a
Radical, and as a leader of a mg of
his party he became Under Secretary
for the Colonies in 1865. In 1868 be was
appointed Minister of Education, and
he held this post until Mr. Gladstone
retired from the Cabinet in 1874. Two
notable measures were associated with
his name—the Educational act and the
Baliot act—which he introduced in
1869 and 1871 respectively. In .1880 Mr.
Gladstone resumed office, and Mr.
Forster was made Chief Secretary for
Ireland, which past he resigned in
May, 1882, to be succeeded by the late
Lord Frederick Cavendish. During his
service as Chief Secretary for Ireland
Mr. Forster incurred the hostility of
the Irish at home and abroad, and his
life was even threatened. Ue secured
the enactment of the Irish Land bill in
1881, and at that time it was he who
proclaimed the Land League to be il
legal and criminal, and arrested Mr.
Parnell and many of bis followers for
their part in the land agitatiou. It was
he who gave to Mr. Parnell the apt title
of
athe
Uncrowned King of Ireland."
During the exciting times of the war,
when the sympathies of Englishmen
were with the South as opposed to the
North, Mr, Foster was a conspicuous
and steadfast friend or the United
States.
OASADIA:M'-NEWB.
The regular weekly meeting of the
Toronto branch of the Irish National
League vas held iu that city Monday
evening of March 25, in the I. CI B, CJ.
Hall, comer of King and Jar-vis streets.
The proceedings opened witii the read
ing of the treasurers report. He stated
that $12(5 had been, received from the
leaguers of Mara township, that the
parliamentary fund amounted to §1,500
and that he hail a balance ou hand of
$165. Mr. Carson, a young Presbyter
ian, then addressed the meeting, and
eaicl that Irishmen of all er eels should
not hesitate to come forward and ex
press their interest, in the struggles of
the old land for Home Parliament,
Mr. Taylor, an ex-Orangemau, then
came forward and gave it as his exper
ience that no Irishman after reading the
history of Ireland could consider him
self one and belong to the body he has
quitted, Mr. Teefy read an editorial
from The Dublin Freeman describing
the absurd ignorauce of the people of
England on Irish affairs. Notice was
given on a motion to do something to
vai'de forwarding aid to the famishing
inhabitants of the west coast of Ireland,
The Hon. Mr. Costigan, Minister of
Inland Be venue, has lately forwarded
to a number of prominent Irishmen in
the old country parliamentary and other
documents relating to Canada, amongst
them His Grace the Most Rev. Dr.
Croke, Archbishop of Oashel His Grace
the most Reverend Dr. Walsh, Arch
bishop of Dublin His Lordship the
Bight Rev. I)r. Nulty, Bishop oi'Meath
Charles S. Parnell, M. P., and
the Eight Hon. T. D. SulliTars,
the Lord Mayor ©f Dublin, and
has received letters of acknowledge
jnenfc. Hia Lordship of Meath writes:
"A compliment emanating from BO il
lustrious a statesman is .an honor of
which I feel proud and for which I am
fervently thankful, and I tender my
mo«t grateful acknowledgements for the
high and unexpected honor done me,
with an assurance of my most earnest
prayer for your happiness and welfare.
I venture to forward you a few copies of
a letter which I have recently published
on the great question of education in
this eouutry and England." Mr. Par
nell writes: "For these and the other
parliamentary papers which you havo
from time to time forwarded me, I am
very much obliged, and I beg to tender
you my best thanks." His Lord
Mayor's secretary writes: "His Lordship
cannot avoid expressing the hope that
the courtesy you have shown him in
this instance is but the forerunner of
many other acts of mutual kindliness
between the public men of the two
countries in the future, and that the
period is not far distant when the 'exis
tence here of a form of government
based upon similar lines to that which
you possess will enable the evidences of
Ireland's' friendliness towards Canada
to take a more tangible and practical
shape than is at present possible."

There wa'nt any use o'frutting.
And I told Obadiah so.
For Jf we couldn't hold on tothinjrs
We'd jest got to let them go.
There were lota of folks thatf suffer
Along with the rest of us,
And it didn't seem to be worth our while
To make such a dreffle inuss.
To be sure, the barn was most emptyv
An' corn an' pertaters sca'ce.
An' not much of anything plenty and cheai
But water an' apple-sas?:
But then.-as I told Obadiah,
It wa'nt any use to groan.
For flesh an' blood could't stan' it, an' h«
Was nothing but skin a:i'bone.
But, laws, if you'd only hoerd him
At any hour of the nigh t,
A prayin' out in that elosot there,
'Twould have set yon crazy quite.
I patched the knees of those trousers
With cloth that was no ways thin.
But it seemed as if the puces wore out
As fast as I pet- em' in.
To me he said mighty littie
Of the thorny way we trod.
But at least a dozen times a day
He talked it over with God.
Down on his knees in that closet
The most of his time was passed
For Obadiah knew how to pray.
Much better than how to fast.
But I am that way contrary
That if things don't go just right,
I feel like rollin' my sleevvs up high
An' getting ready to light.
An' the giants 1 slew thao winter
I a'n't. goin' to talk aboat
And 1 didn't, even complain to God,
Though I think lie found it out.
With the point of a cambric needle
I druv' the wolf from the door,
For I knew that wc needn't starve to death
Or be lazy because we were poor.
And Obadiah he wondered.
And kept me. patchin' his knees.
An' thought it strange how the meal held
out.
An' stranger we didn't freeze.
But I said to myself in whispers
"God knows where hie- gift descends:"
An' 'tisn't always that faith gets down
As far as the finger ends,
An' I would not have no one reckon
My Obadiah a shirk
For some, you know, have the gift to pray.
An' others the gift to work.
—[Josephine Pollard.
medical Women In Paris.
Eight feminine physicians are regular
practioners in Paris, the most noted of
them being Madame Madeline Bres, who
was the iirst to take the degree doctor of
medicine. This she received through
favor of tbe Empress Eugenie, who, during
her husband's absence at Chalons, opened
the door to the profession for madame, de
lighted at the establishment, of so desirable
a precedent. Dr. Bres has a large num
ber of patients of both sexes, many of
them distinguished. She writes on hygienic
subjects frequently and ably, mingles in
the best society, is a brilliant talker on
light or solid topics, and is the salaried
physician of the Theatre Chatelet. At
first all the would-be wits of Paris tried
to make the feminine doctors ridiculous
but these have shown so much ability
and skill that the satirical arrows could
not hurt their professional reputation.
Madame Rose Perree is a social favorite
and receives big fees. Mademoiselle Ver
heniPs specialty is brain disease, and
several others have had marked success
with nervous affections of their own .sex
Nobody but a woman can fully sympathize
with or understand the mysteries and
miseries of a woman's nerves. What she
suffers from so much herself she can usn
uaiiy treat in others.
A musical SestiUB,
MIPS Carrie Duke is a member of an old
and prominent Kentucky family, and the
daughter of General Basil Duke, of Louis
ville. She is but 19, decidedly pretty,
graceful, accomplished, singularly modest
withal, and is resolved to pursue music as
a profession, even against the wishes of
her parents, who have independent means,
and a prejudice against her appearing in
public. The late Dr. Leopold Daro.rosch,
Laving heard her in Cincinnati, where she
had attended the College of Music, was
so much pleased that he invited her to
play at one of the symphony concerts in
New York. So very few women have
been, or are, violinists, that Miss Duke's
skill and progress naturally excite surprise
and laudation. After Mary Anderson,
Seliiut belter and Currie Duke, Louisville
will certainly put forward claims to be
another great art eentre like Paris or
Peoria.
Invented to Abate a Nuisance*
The poet of the Boston Courier thug
immortalizes the feuiaie crush hat:
Somebody has invented a theatre hat
for ladies. It is operated by a spring to
which a string is attached. When tho
curtain rises the lady pulls the string and,
presto, the hat collapses, falls flat on the
head. Ey pulling the string it again is
restored to its original shape. These hats
will doubtless be generally worn by
ladies who are in the habit of going to the
theatre. What higher compliment can
be paid a woman than to have it said
of her:
She's as beautiful as an angel.
And as amiable as she is fair,
For she al ways wears a collapsing hat
When she sits in au orchestra chair."
In the Heart of au Oak.
A large oak block, about IS inches in
diameter, that has been knocking around
in various Brookvillo yards and wood
sheds, was split up recently, and in it was
found an augur hole about three-touths of
an inch in size, containing bunch of
human haiv done up in a piece of printed
paper. The hair was near the centre of
the block fastened in with a pine plug. It
was apparently put in when the tree waa
quite small, as the tree had grown over
the plug to tbe thickness of about four
inches, with the grain perfectly smooth
aad straight.—[Kennebec (Me.) Journal.
A Good, Kind Sister.
Small brother—Where did you. get that
cake, Annie?
Small sister—Mother gave to me.
Small brother—Ah.' she always gives
you more than me.
Small sister—Nevermind She's going
to put mustard plasters on us when we go
to bed to-night, and I'll ask her to let you
have the biggest.
Friendship.
Lady—"Would you believe it, the doctor's
wife is idle and slovenly with her
home and leaves her children to
take care of themselves, and her hus
band spends most of his time at the clnb.
Gentleman—Ah! and how do you know
all this
Lady—Well, you see, I am her best
friend.—[Fliegende Blaetter.

An Anecdote About Insersoll.
A story is told of Colonel Robert G. In.
gersoil to show that, when he lived in
Peoria, Illinois, he believed in a much
talked-of-subterrauean region, whose ex
istence he has since vehemently discredited.
He was engaged as counsel by a pretty
and attractive widow who had a claim
against a corporation, which it would not
pay. For the company appeared Jonathan
Cooper, an able lawyer and a devout
Presbyterian. During his argument he
referred to the Colonel aB often unreason
able, on account of his great sympathy
with the plaintiff, charming women always
arousing his chivalry to such an extent as
to make him unmindful of sound law.
Ingersoll, in reply, admitted his sincere
admiration of the sex, whether as rnaid
sns, wives or mothers, and declared that
he would rather sit on a rough bench in
Hades, talking with a beautiful woman
For fifteen, minutes than stay forever in
lonathan Cooper's heaven, singing psalms
\nd playing on a celestial banjo. This
raised the laugh on Cooper, who joined in
it himself, and the decision of the jury was
given in favor of the widow.
The Sarcaatlc Woman.
Have you ever met the sarcastic young
woman? No! Well, she is a pest. The
iddy girl, the gushing girl, the lackadais
ical miss are not ornaments whose loss
would cause the world grief, but they can
be tolerated. The sarcastic maiden should
be suppressed by law. The school is grow
ing. Nobody likes the sarcastic girl
everybody fears, and many hate her. Her
atock in trade may originally have been
gatire, but has long ago degenerated into
impudence ad with the degeneration has
slipped aw er ability to see the differ
ence betw -n what was and what is—be
tween satire and impudence. She has
been fostered in the family circle, and
generally stays there. She began with
mild criticisms of her friends and ends
with lampooning them. Now she has
none, and caricatures her acquaintances.
Her parents s.pplauded her early efforts,
and she retaliates by staying on their
hands. The family think her brilliant,
young men avoid her, and what the world
knows as a sour old maid is generally
thus created.—[Vanity Fair.
Somewhat Mixed.'
The London Figaro describes the tan
gle of relationships which will follow the
marriage of Prince Alexander of Bulgaria
with tbe second daughter of the Prince
Imperial of Germany. The crown Prin
cess of Germany will suddenly find her
self transformed into the mother-in-law of
the brother of her brother-in-law. Her
Majesty will become the trrandmother of
her son-in-law's brother, and Prince
Henry of Batten berg will grow dizzy as
he thinks of himself as the brother-in
law of his neice by marriage. Tho Prin
cess Beatrice will be the aunt of her sister
in-law.
The snarl may be indefinitely followed,
but no human intellect could stand the
strain.
•llfonno's Dos "Ugly."
A letter from Madrid says: "The deepest
njpurner of the late Alfonso was Ugly,
his Skye terrier. The poor animal howled
to be allowed to go with him to El Pardo,
but was not allowed. She got there not
withstanding, but how nobody knows.
When the king was dead she was found
lying under his bed in a state of the deep
est depression. Ugly certaiuly knew that
she had lost her royal master. Ever since
that loss she has been altogether off her
food, and to prevent her dying from in
anition tailk and soup have to be forced
down her throat. The queen was greatly
distressed at having to allow the poor little
dog to be turned out of the mortuary
chamber when the religious ceremonies
were taking place."
A matter of Taste.
Young Mrs. Vassarline—You are sure
this is real English breakfast tea, Mr.
Grocer?
"Oh, ye3, we warrant it."
"Well, I'll take a pound if you are sure.
Our visitors are from London, and I should
be dreadfully mortified to give them Ja
pan tea by mistake."
An Undenl ruble Protector.
"All is over between George and myself^"
said Clara, as she sunk wearily into a
chair "I cannot trust my future happi
ness to such a man. I shall write him at
once that we must part."
"What is the trouble?"
"I met him in the street to-day and he
wore eannnffs."
Never Would Be Missed.
The effect of the "Mikado" craze on the
Ancient Mariner, says the Boston Post:
Nor dim nor red, like God's own head
The glorioua sun uprist.
And all averred I'd killed a bird
That never would be missed.

XiocallnsT a mine.
Whitlach went into the Palmer House
barber shop the other night and made a
sensation by a fnnny mineral discovery
which he claimed to have found in the
marble tiling. As is known, the tonsorial
professor at the Palmer House has had
sunk in each of the dark marble blocks of
his floor a silver dollar. There are 267 of
these dollars, and the effect is odd and
puzzling to the bucolic mind. The dollars
are sunk into the marble, and made
flush with the surface. Each piece is se
cured with cement, and also by a wire
which passes through and under the tiling.
••Jim" Whitlach went in the other
night, glanced down, and, affecting not to
see the mint marks on the dollars, said:
"Great God, boys! Look here! Native
silver right in the croppin's. Caesar's
ghost! Let's nail her," and out came a
pile of prospectors' blank notices, .in two
minutes Jim had one filled out and in
another second there was tacked up notices
of location of the "Palmer" mine, '•con
taining 1,500 feet on the Palmer lode, with
all its metes and bounds, dips, spurs and
angles." The barbers laughed and took
Whitlach for crank, but he insisted up
on it that the lode was a true fissure, that
it carried native silver from the croppings,
and that he would begin at once to sink a
shaft, and with tkftit he out with a pen
knife and legau to dig up oue or the dol
lars. There was a rush of two or three
of the barbers, but Whitlach pulled a re
volver three feet long and pointed signi
ficantly at his "notice of locatiou." The
joke ended, as all such jokes do, by friends
getting the pretended crank out, and
"Jim" "setting'em up" for all hands at
the other Palmer mine— in the other end
of the building. "Jim" Whitlach has, or
had, a great friend in Nevada named
Elliott—Fred Elliott. Elliott was a man
of varied accomplishments. lie was a
sailor originally, and served in the navy
during the war. Then he became a type
setter, editor, politician and mining camp
oracle. He is now, Whitlach says, marine
editor of the New York Herald. They
were a great pair once, in the old White
Pine days. With what timidity, delicacy
and daintiness they used to manipulate
the truth.—[Chicago Herald.
