New Voik. â€" At r.. nv.eting of Irishmen iu BrooKljn Sunday night the use of dynamite was favored by U Ujuovan Rossa and Rob- ert Blissert. The latter stated that an Irish Crusaders' Club had been formed, and they expected soon to have 100,000 members. San Francisco. â€" A ceremony representing the funeral of OT)jncell, recently hanged at London, took place here on Sunday. Efiforts were made to make a grand demonstratioD, but the board of supervisors and thepromin- t-nt Irish organizitions declined to take part and only oUO persons were in line. A very serious riot occurred in the 'ity of ^Mexico over the introduction of the new uickel coins, which the lower classes did cottaketovery kindly. 'J'herumpus.finally re- sulted in a panic, and a mob ruled the city era time, smashing windows and commit- tir.;; other crimes. The military was called oi.t, acd finally r;uell€d the disturbance. T;;e press is now the well acknowledged p ;-.wer ia the community. Not long ago a Ger- man licvspaper callei attention to the fact that n.ore apothecary shops were needed in T-'crdn, asd vvjthin two week 3 steps had been '.:iken for the estlblishmeut of nineteen new I nes. I'robably near all thsir stocks on hmd will be druqs to them hereafter. Tog convicts at the Massaohuiettj S^te i'rison were granted the usual privileges and scmethiEg more on Christmas Day, and two nun were conditionally pardoned, oce of them being John Noran who was serving a life term for the murder of his sweetheart in 1S67, and the other, George H. Richardson, of Car tD3, wko ^a* canvicted one year ago, of murder in the second degree, for shoot- ing his father. It is said that evidence has come to light since his trial, tending to show that the shooting was accidental. A Philadelphia dispatch says â€" A slijht improvement in the tone of the iron market has been developed daring the close of the year. P.ices have reached their lowest limit and careful buyers have taken advant- age of special rates for foundry and forge iron, and bought allowanc.es for thirty or sixty days. There are enquiries for large lots of steel rails at $3-5 per ton, and makers predict heavy transactions at that figure. The Western mills are now booking orders. At Pittsburg negoti.itions ore in band for Urge lots of steel raili an i moderate sized lota of small railway material, for delivery during fcnuary and Fobrua-y. Among the many re.a3on* given for the flivorC9 in Maryland the Detroit Free PreM relates the following â€" "A young woman in that State has brought suit to annul her marriage on the ground that her husband is a rnulatto, while shs ia white. The marriage took place in 1879, and it was not until a year later th.^fc the vjjfo di covered the Jact as to her nusb^ua's ancestry. There La no claim that he used any deception. It simply did not occur to her to Euspcct that he was olher than a white msn until she ac- cidently saw a tintype of his i.ephev, which bore unmistakahli traces of negro ancestry. It will be (iitiicult for most in- telligent p3ople to understand wherein the joung woman has any grievance but in this respect she does not difTer from a good many v/oman who sue for divorce. GKEAT BRITAiy. ^.Tkree baronets and a peer. Lord St. Laon- ards, grandson of the eminent Chancellor, have recently he'ped to swell the list of bankrupts in England. A parliamentary return jist issued ehowa that the total taxation ot Ireland in 1S£2 produced a sum of £3.53^,679 which was an increase cf £143,249, or 4i per cent, on the amount levied in the previous year. llscently published judicial statistics show that 447 of the inquests held in England and Wales in ISSO resulted in a verdict of "died from excessive drinking." This is 29 more than in the previous year, but it is below the average (48 l) for five preceding years. Lord Lome's attempts to acclimatise the Canadian moose-deer at Inverness, Scotland, have failed, the climate being apparently too moist, but the Canadian musk rats and other animals and birds imported are doing well, and the wild turkeys are flourishing. The London Timc.-i says that the continu- ed depression in trade is a puzzle to the community, Tne revival of 1879 was but temporary, and merchants now complain that their profits have either disappeared altogether or are extremely small, while great industries are admittedly in distress, and I'owhere is there real prosperity. But it is nicro'y the speculative trade which is depressed. The hand to mouth trade is fully niaiatained. The chif f cause cf the lengthened depression, the writer thinks, is to bo found in the series of bad harvests. The violence of language used by some of the leadinglriahagitatorsof to-day may bein- ferred from the following in connection with the ' prohibition of a recent Nationalists meeting near Dublin. A proclamation from the Lord LioutenanS of Ireland was read forbidding such a meeting. Mr. Biggar, M. r., who was to address it, drove off vracn he saw the proclamation. At a din- ner the same evening Biggar, ia referring to the Lord Lieutenant, said he was not aware how Earl Speacer obtained the title to his property but unless some church robber p.mcsr.cd it years ago he would probably at the present day be a drunken housebreater. Ilistovj of a Soug. ilr. Bennett, a music-writer, and Mr. Webster v.ere intimate friends. The latter wai subject to melancholy. tie came ia to where his friend Webster was at business eiie day, while iu a depres- sion of spirits. " Wnat is the matter nov.' ' stkl liennett, noticing his sad countenance. " No matter," said ^Veb8lcr " it will be right by-and-by." •' "cT that sweet by. and- by," said Ben- nett. " Would not th it santiment make a giod hymn, Webster ,; " "Maybe it would it," replied 'i'Vebste,-, iaditl'erently. Turning to his do tk, Bennett Vriote the three verses of the iiymn, and handed thorn to Webstir. When ne red them, his whole demeano.- changed. Stepping to his desk, he began to write the notes. Having finished them he rtqacstcd hi 3 violin, and played the melody. In a few minutes he had the four parte of the chorus jotted down. It was not over thirty min- ntes from the first thought of the hymn be- fore tho two friends, and two others who had come in in the meantime, were sii'ging all the parts together. A bystander, who had been attracted by the music, and had listened in tearJu! silence, remarked, " That hymn is immortal." It is now sung in every land under the sun. â€" Exchange. ^m 1 1 i ^B I I (ilasgow's Commercial Importance. Many readers will be surprised to learn that Glasgow is the secoad largest city in Great Britain, and tlie third in commercial importance. In population and mauufact- toriea it almost equals Philadelphia, and for wet weather surpasses an.' American city, large or small, with which I am acquainted. The people are busy, thrifty, inuustrious and exceedingly polite, intensely national, but absolutely ignorant and indiff.-rent about America and American t flairs. I have rot met any person so ignorant as the Italian count who asked whether it was not dangerous to venture out of NsW York on account of the Indians; but they do not seem to know or care that in tho viciaity of the noble city of Towson there is a populous and thriving village of Biltimore. Glasgow claims to have the lirge^t loco- m'jtive works in the woili and me r- lip- building yards extend alcng th j Ciyae twenty miles to Greenock, presenting a scene of ceaseless industry that afctonishes even an American traveller. The Glas£;ow CitheJ- ral is one of the most ancient aadiutt resting churches in Great Britain. Tbe preeent structure was built ia 1181 and 13 in ex cellent preservation. The Univerfaity of Glasgow made it a prom n ant p'ace, even when the population wa.3 qiite small. â€" Ba'.t'imore Day Letter, A Minnesota Tornado. The Norwegian poet and preacher Kristo- fer Janson gives the following account of a tornado which destroyed his house. " We had built two wings on the church, you know, as 1 summer resort for me and my family, and we had jnst moved in. The church itself was not yet finished, the doors and windows not pat in, and the carpenters and joiners bosy at their work when the misfortune happened. The weather had been torbulent for many days, every night lightning and thundering with violent sbow- en. It was on the morning of the 2l3t, We had jast taken our breakfast, and had gartihered oat on the porch to look at the grand play of the elsments performed before as. Around in the hoiiaon there flashed lightning, and it thickened and darkened more and more. We foresaw a violent temp- eat. It seemed aa if the atorm moved away in the direction of New Ulm, and we won dered if that poor town should be drowned to death for the second time. It wes swept away by a cyolone two years ago, you re- member, A cloud, black as the raven's wing, appeared in the west. Suddenly it split, and between the two blick trains expanded the most fearful, dismal sky 1 ever saw. The color was greenâ€" gray â€" yellow, and it darkened the sun, so it became dim as t will jut. The carpenters had by-and-by gathered together with us on the porch. ' This must be a hail storm,' one of them said ' now we will pretty soon hear of dis- asters.' Suddenly the cleft widened be- tween the two black cloud- wings, and the upper one came with a terrible speed, hurry- ing back toward us, ' Let as walk in,' I said, ' It seems as if we, too, shall get a taste of it.' We went in, and our parlor looked quite dark. We had scarcely beard the roar- ing of the storm coming. In a moment we were surrounded by a white cloud, and the wind and rain lashed the house, which groaned and shivered all throut;h. It was not rain, it was furious torrents of water mixed with heavy hail, which poured down from heaven. The storm tried to burst open the door, bat five men pressed against it with all their might. The wall seemed to give way and stood in a bow the building shook as in convulsions, I ielt like a tight- ening •! my heart every time the house seem- ed to be lifted from the ground and dropped down again. Twice we had these terrible shocks, then in a moment, house, men, furni- ture, were hurled through the air one hun- dred feet away. I do not remember any- thing before 1 found myself on the ground crawling .among the debris of my new home. The first I discovered was my wife, with a child in each arm, lying at my aide. Men and children were scattered around a^nong lumber and sidings, whether alive or dead nobody could tell, A table and a staircase cime iying through the air some men met them and pushed them away, so they did not kill my wife and c'nildren bits of wall and roof whirled round us here it was im- possible to remain. We crept and crawled, and ran for our lives down to the forest. Ai we found each other there were only six a friend of ours, a farmer, had one of the small girls in his arms, my wife .arother, and one of my sons clung to me."â€" 'hri.thn Uti io/i. The (Jiiocus of £ui;Iaud. Ikiglaad has been very fond of Queers, and has usually given them a good name. Ui MatiHa we know very little. But the faults of Miry were attributed in great part to her husband; while both Elizabeth and Anue have, perhaps with equal reason, been decorated with the names of "(iood." It certainly has so happened that the reigns of t'ne last three Queens who have occupied the English throne have been both happy and glorious. Ia all alike we see great developments of the national energy, the flowering of a brilliant and characteristic literatuie and the growth of new pDlitical and social ideas inaugurating new stages of progress. If we carry our minds back to the ascension of Queen Elizabeth, we find ourselves iu a world which has, indeed, little resemblance to our own, but which was an entirely new departure from the world cf the Flantagenet" Similarly, in the re go of Anne, we are face to face with a political and social regime wholly different iu kind from that of the seventeenth century, the departing footsteps of which we look back upon through tho reign of William. In our own time it is unnecessary to say that we live ia a transition period from the stereo- typed thoughts and habits of the pre Reform era to scm3 unknown and unconjectured destiny. Thus all three reigns have been signalize i by the same distinctive f satures have each in some measure ushered in a new age, and have been distinguished by the same literary End intellectual activity. To which of them history will assign the supremacy ii a questicm which we shall not touch. The Elizibethau, the Augustan, and the Victorian eras have each their special glories to boast of; and their comparative greatness must depend to a great extent on the character of the mind which contem- plates them. â€" London Staiidanl. Gladstone as a Timber-Dealer. Mr. Gladstone, it appears, includes among his numerous vocations that of a dealer in timber. We are not aware that he entered voluntarily into the business, but at all events an insight to -it has been ofifered to the pablic. He was applied to by a Lam- beth workingman who wanted to make some tables and chairs out of trees felled by the premier. Mr. Gladstone replied that he would make known the eubject of the Lam- beth workman's request to his son, "as he regulates matters of the nature referred to. ' About a month afterward â€" a most unbusi- nesslike delay, we should imagine, â€" Mr, W, H, Gladstone wrote to the workman in these terms â€" "In referetceto your letter, I beg to ask you how many feet you require, Wa have a beech of about sixteen feet available, but I fear the carriage to London wonld be heavy," The offer was accepted, but the beech turned out to be eighteen feet long, so that the stock-book of the firm has evidently not been very carefully kept. It is understood that, in the letter in which Mr. Gladstone banded over the conduct of the transaction to his Bon, he expressed some desponding sentiments with regard to this branch of the family basiness, Gladstonian timber has not been in great demand lately, the list transaction having taken place in Leeds in 1880. Mottoes for the Lime Kiln Clnb. On the first of the yew the following mottoes and greetings will be printed on cloth and hong on the walls of Paradise Hall: " Credit am an enemy to entice you to buy whax you doan' want." " Dar am no danger of de well cavin' in if you keep on top." " If life had no sorrows we should grow tired of hearin' each odder laugh," " Gray ha'rs should respect themselves if dey want to ba respected by odders." "De man who eats appka i;i the dark mustn't let his stomach be too pertickler about worm holes." "While color has naflSa" partickler to do wid treein' de coon, doan' pay too much fur a yalier dog."

What we intend to do to morrer won't buy meat far to-day's dinner." Struck Oil. It was a Woodward avenue car. A lady richly dressed sat in a corner of the car and said to some one with her. " I smell kerosense oil," " So do I," answered her friend. One after another got into the car, and tho lady in the cornet sn flei suspiciously, and at last fix id her eyes upon a qnist looking little man near the door. " 1 believe he's got tho oil,' she said in a stage whisper to her friend. " I know it," replied the friend. "There ought to be a law against carrying keroaene in the street cars. Such an odor " and she glared at the little man. "I shall inform the Superintendent," said the first lady aloud. " I shall inform the President of the road," said her friend with a fixed and glassv stare.

A PAINFCL ACCIDENT. An Kntlr* Growth of WIils]tera Torn firom a Man's CUb, ToseiAer wltli (he rieah. Henry Felkamp, is a cutter in the em- ploy of a firm of wholesale clothier«. on the corner of Vine and Pearl streets. He is, cr rr^ther was the possessor of a magnificent beard fifteen inches long. Monday morning a spring on the cutting machine of the es- tablishment broke and flew under a table near the rapidly revolving shaft of the m»- chice. Mr, Felkamp stopped and reached usdec the table for the spring, when aaddenly the shtit cxught his lens; beard. In an in* stant the beard was wrapped tightly around the revolving shaft, which threatened to dash his head to pieces in the machinery. Mr. Felkamp, with the desperation of a doomed man, threw out his hands and brac- ing himself against the mae'ainery, .pulled with all his strength a^iiast fate. His arms were stronger than his chin, and by main force he extricated himself by pulling the flesh cll the greater part of his chin. A part of the whiskers broke cfl' some were palled out by the roots, but tiis lower lip and the fleah of his chin were literally torn oil, exposing the gums of his lower jiw. He then called called for help, bef or*' his associates knew that an acciideut had oceur- ed. The proprietors and employes of the firm exerted themselves to their utmost when they found what a terrible fate had befallen their respected comrade, but the telephone was called upon unsuccessfully for some time in attempts to summon physi- cians. One fiaally arrived and put the la- cerated flesh back over the wound and sew- ed it fast with ten or twelve stitches.
