Invited to address tho children, ho dc
clincd first, but finally conscntod, and
to illustrnto tho welcome of tho sinner
to repentance, tolated tho following
anecdote:
"I reckon most of you young onos
.havo beam about that old feller in
Egypt, which was well fixed for kids,
Tho old man was heeled clear to his
neck, and thar wasn't a dip nor spur
that ho wasn't onto, and you bet ho had
his squar doso o' sheers in ovory pay
dirt chimon tho divide. Ho was a good
old man, straight as a rlflo bar'l, and
without knot, rot or woodpecker holo
lrom root to crow's nest. For a long
Umo ho'd boon full owner o' an oighty
stamp mill, and travelers in them parts
-seon tho smoko rising from his chimney
pretty steady, and they knowed quartz
was grinding and tho dust was good.
Thar warn' t no funny business about
the old man. Ho knowed primo wash
from salt by tho color, and it warn' long
aforo tho boys quit stealing his mules
and set right down to tho levels and
picked for trade. Thoy knowed ho'd
straddlo any blind, but ho doalt fair, and
thoy respected him. Woll, children,
tho old man banked a heap o quartz.
Ho had n big ranch, and tho sheep on
it was as thick as miners' tents. Thar
was antolopo, andpralrio chickens, and
jack rabbits, nnd black tail deer till you
couldn't rest. And thar was lots of
wheat and a big shack, built o' logs,
with a parlor in ono end. Now, I toll
you, that thar old man was fixed up to
tho trap, and don't you forgot nothing.
But ono o' his sons was kind o' restless.
Ho wanted for to prospect for himself.
Tho old man givo him tho racket
straight from t'to hip; told him not to
mako a doggono fool of himself. Stay
whoro ho was. Thar was more money
in a stamp mill than thorc was in mines,
and ho advised tho kid to locate right
thar. Wbv, children, that thar old
man know from tho fust hour thot tho
short didn't have no show, oven for
tailings, and what's tailings, oven if ho
played to win, to a squar dlvido on the

But tho kid wanted long grass, and

You've got to kill him and smoko him

voices were heard calling on the guard!
ans to open tho door and givo thorn ro

CauliQ'o, ono of tho guardians, who was
about to leavo tho room, when ho was
thrown back and informed that neither
ho nor any guardian in tho room should
leavo until thoy had dono something for
them. Tho passago on tho stairs was
thronged with sullon, famished-looking
men. Ono of tho guardians suggested
that thoy could got somo tea in tho
house, when a voico roplled: 'To hell
with your teal What good is tea to us
when our children aro starving? As
sure ns God mado littlo apples, 1 am
ready to dio for my children. I'll do
somothing despcrato if I don't got relief
for thorn.' A sceno of confusion ensued,
which lasted soveral minutes. In tho
background somo poor follows wcro
weeping. After somo tlmo tho men got
to understand that tkoy could find bread

IRELAND-
Tho Freeman's Journal, ot Dublin,
says tho fact that Parncll did not remain nil
tho time In Paris was duo ton friendly Intima
tion that tho French aro not to bo depended
on to fully recognize tho rights of prlvato In
dividuals to control money Invested In their
names. Parncll, O'Kcllcy, Egan, Harrl', Brcn
nan, Dillon and Blggar hold a consultation In
Paris. Afterwards Parncll, Dillon, B'ggar
anil O'Kcllcy return to London to participate
In sittings In the Commons. Egan will remain
In Paris; tho others return to London. Walsh
Is still In London.
It Is Rtatcd that tho Land Loaguo has
decided to Invest in the Lnltcd States the
70,000 now In Europe. When Parncll re
turned to Paris from Frankfert thero were ru
mors that his absenco from London was due
to his fear ot being arrested. A delegate
from the last meeting of tho Land League
waited on blm with a resolution that he should
go to America, but he decided to remain on
the continent to complete other arrangements
In connection with the League in consequenco
of Its becoming known to himself and friends
that communications addressed to him and
them bad been tampered with by the Govern
ment. The Leagues are convinced they were
tampered with as long ago as December, and
the utmost caution has since been used. It ls
denied that any compromising statement has
been written, but It Is thought necessary to
remove tho headquarters ot the League to
Paris. Parnell will start for England In a
few days. Brennan has been instructed to de
posit all tbc documents of tho League In a
place ot security. All communication be
tween Parncll and his friends In England Is
carried on by couriers. Bigger and Healcy
returned to London.
Dublin dispatches of Fob. loth, say
A returned Irish-American named Laughlln
will be arrested In connection with the out
rago and robbery t.c?r Castle Island, County
Kerry. The Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland speak
ing at the Lord Mayor's bar.quct, said that
though tho persons receiving Indoor relief wero
fewer than at the same tlmo last year, the num
ber receiving outdoor relief was greater.
Whether the present calm was tho beginning
ot a permanent peace, or whether a Sharp
struggle was before us, what bad happened
was full ot grave meaning. It showed that
below tho apparent smoothness there was a
certain amount of mischief lurking.
Parnell has writton a long lotlor to
the Irish National Land League. Ho has d(
cldcd'not to como to America at the prctent
time, but will remain in Ireland and in Par
liament, no appeals to English and Scotch
public opinion against the tcnorlsmof Par
liament, advises tenants to retuso to pay un
Just rents, and refuse to tako farms from
which others have been evicted.
