The interest in North Dakota was nothing last year to what It' Is this.

Conceding tbe reasonableness of such a prophecy, every active, enterprising man in the United States, who, being diligent in bis business, shall wear diamonds before summer," and stand by four kings," ought to mucilate and get some oorner-lots. A. L. WHAT WILT THOU HATE ME TO DO! Oh tor a vision and a voice to lead .4 To show roe plainly where my work should lie; Oo where I may fresh hindrances impede me, Vain and unanswered seems my earnest cry. Hush, unbelieving one, but for thy blindness, But for thine own impatience and self-will, Thou wouldst see thy Master's loving kindness, Who by those hindrances is leading still.

He who of old through Phrygia and Galalia, Led the Apostle Paul and blessed him there, If he forbid to preach the Word in Asia, Mast have prepared for thee a work elsewhere. Courage and patience I Is the Master sleeping Ha He no plan, no purpose of love? What though while His counsel He ia It is maturing In the world above. Wait on the Lord, in His right hand be hidden, And go not forth uncalled to strive alone; Shun like a sin the tempting work forbidden, God's love for sonls be sure exceeds thine own. None are good works for thee but worklappointed; Ask to be filled with knowledge of His will. Cos: what it may, why Uvea life disjointed One work throughout God'a pleasure to fulflll.

But if Indeed some special work await thee. Canst thou afford this waiting time to loser By each successive task God educates thee; What if the iron.be too blunt to use? Oh, thou unpolished shaft, why leave the quiver? Oh, thou blunt ax, what forest canst thou how Unsharpened sword, canst thou tbe oppressed deliver? Go back to thine own maker's forge anew. Submit thyself to God for preparation. Seek not to teach thy Master and thy Lord; Call it not zeal it is a base temptation-Satan is pleased when man dictate to Down with thy pride, with holy vengeance trample On each self-flattering fancy that appears; Did not the Lord Himself for onr example.

Graphic Karratlve of Atrocities by South Sea Islanders. Hawaian Gazette. Tbe following extracts are from the log ol the Hawaian brig Pernors during a cruise among the South Sea Islands in search of lab.

oreru: On November 28, when off Aurora Is land at dusk, we observed twd schooners astern of us at 8 o'clock. A boat boarded us from one of tbe schooners, the Aurora, Cspt. McCiuud, from New Caledonia, trading. Tbe other schooner, the ldaobe, was owned by Mr. Cbaifia, an American gentleman, who, with his partmer, Mr.

Johnson, has been living this last four years on tne Island of Oba aa traders. Cspt.McCloud and Mr. Cbaifin were in the boat. The gentlemen came on board to advise us not to cruise at Oba, as be, Mr. Cbsffin, had that day shot Ihe principal chief, Ouley, aud then left tbe island.

Mr. Chamn's statement is that the deceased Chief Ouley gave orders for the murder of bis partner, Mr. Johnson, and himself. Fortunately for Mr. Cbaifin he is suffering from asthma and could not sleep tbat night and went on tbe beach for a walk to ool himself, and during that time he beard the repot ot firearms near his houBo.

Ha went up to see the cause and found bis partner shot dead in bis bed. Since then he himself has not been molested. Mr. Chaffin slates also that it was Ouley that gave orders to take the Mystery's boat and kill all bands. Tbe people in the boat were tho chief officer of tbe vessel and native boat's crew, recruiting labor for Queensland, and the said Chief Ouley had a cannibal feast off the body of the white man that Mr.

Chaffin saw himself. Mr. Cbafiin says he has written to the authorities about the murder of bis partner, and as no t.otice has been taken, and being about to leave the Island, he considered it his duty to avenge the death of bis partner and the deatb ol many others, and requested Cap. and myself to make uis statement public, so as to warn traders not to trust any ol the natives five miles North or South of tbe North pointof Oba. November 29.

Not being successful on the South Point of Aurora, stood over to Oba and near the place where Ouley was shot; hove to off Longauns, the North point of Oba, lowered the boats, and pulled in tor tbe beach. A great number ot men and women on the beach were more indited to fight than recruit; pulled about five miles to another chief's landing The chief of tbe district was not on the beach, but bis son Fangancy came to us snd said his father had just returned from a big meeting and feast all the chiefs of the island had met, and it was decided that any boats coming near the shore were to be fired on and the crews killed, If possible. Tbe young chief advised me not to attempt recruiting at Lon-gauna beach in tbe morning, as I told him I thought of doing: he said if I did they would decoy us close in 'and sboot us all. I thanked the youth much and at 5 p. M.

returned to the vessel without recruiting an7 this dsy. On returning to the vessel I met a canoe with a young native in it that I have known this last four years. I asked him about the disturbance on shore acd what kind of a man his eblef, Ouley, was. pretending tbat I knew nothing of his deatb. The lad told me tbat be was a very bad man and had killed a lot of white men.

It was he who had the Mystery's crew killed, and another cblef was punished for doing it by a man-of-war; he also gave orders for Messrs. Johnson and Chaffin to be not, but Mr. Cbsffin was not in tbe house at tbe time, or he would have been killed also. But Mr. Chaffin had shot him now, so he ws not afraid of talking about blm.

The youth's account corroborates Mr. Cbaflin's statement. Carlyle's Political Influence. The Ration, la most men under fifty, In fact, Carlyle is more known as a very truculent political philosopher than as a moralist, and most of his later Imitators Mr. Froude for one have imitated him rather In preparing the way of tbe Strong Man in and recommending the helpless and forlorn to atrip for a salutary dczdn oa tbe bare back, than in preaching self-knowledge or the inner worship of the 'veracities." Tbat tbe effect of thla on English politics has been bad, and very bad, during the past thirty years few will deny.

It beyond question baa aa evil influence on English opinion both about Ireland and about India, snd about tbe civil war In tbe United States. had much to do with the pmiii' iinn of Ibat great scandal, the de-ti-nra Govomor Eyre, by neatly tae whole of society. Nay, we think sr. noi fcr wrong in saying tbat it did much to prepare tbe way for that reinaiksu epi.ode in English history, the late administration ol Lord BeaeotisSeld, th it Jinito fever; its lvlb waste of blood and treasure; lis feiociru assertion of the beauty of nst'onal selflabness; lis contempt, for all that portion of the population of Turkey which, was weak and subject and unhappy. When one contra-ts the spirit In which John Stuart Mill approached all such eobjeet In his laday, bis patient porseitof tbe facts, bis almost W1U, VI view of those who differed with htm, hit steady indifference to his own fame in dealing with all public question, and tben read tbe coo-tempt uooa wsy in whicb Carlyle disposes of him in the "Reminiscences," one get', we were going to an almost painful sense of ihe contrast between the influence of tbe two men on tbeir day and generation.

In so far as tbe RemioieceEdes.1' therefore, ruin Carlyle a a politician, their publication must be considered a gain for the English race. Tbe pal tlcular political vice hi influence fostered, that nobody, who cannot thrash you in fight is worth listening te, is, it must be said, a viee peculiar to the English race. It is only in tbe Anglo-Saxon foruoj thta man of foreign biitlt and unfamiliar ways of thinking has to obtain a locus standi by rnak'ng himself an object of physical terror. Tbe story which has lately gone the rounds of the papers, of Carlyle' dlMusaion with some Irishman who got tbe better of him ifi argument in support of tbe logical right of tbe Irish to manage their own affaire, in which he met hi opponent ia tbe I aft retort in half-humorous vehemence by inform-i ing blm tbat be would eut bl throat before he would let blm have bit independence, is not bad expreasioa of the spirit which has governed English policy in dealing with dependent communities. Beware of Lappiag.Dor.

The report will not take the ground tbat no other nominations should be considered during the present session, but tbat the program of business should be restricted in- this manner for the present, or until otherwise determined by the caucus. The Senate committees' recommendations, if adopted, will probably result in holding an executive session tomorrow after noon. THE LEGISLATURE.

IS THE SENATE. Loaf IfiahVi Jenatcha. Washington, Msy 2. Mr. Saulsbury denied the Democrats were responsible for the delay ot publio business.

He argued against tbe right of the Vice-President to cast a vote for the election ot officers and declared that the Democrats would not consent that the Republicans should be placed in a position where the vote of tbe Vice-President might be used to give tbem power which did not belong to them. The Democrats were justified in all they had done resisting tbe passage of the pending resolution. He didn't charge a bargain, but asserted the people believed it, and would believe tbat tbe election of Riddleberger was the consummation thereof. He protested against any action which would lessen the government in the estimation of the people and warned the Rspublicaca their course would bring the administration inti disre pute. He was not sure tbe administration could have bs'f its nominations confirmed ex cept for the aid of Democrats, but if tbe administration was to aid in strengthening the hands of repudiators In Southern-States he would unbesitatingly say the administration was not worthy his support.

A motion for an executive Besslon was lost. 21 to 22. An hour was consumed in calling the roil upon utaiatory motions, and on motion of Dawes the Senate adjourned. FIGHT WITH THE KROUMIRS. Latt Wight's Despatchfs.

Paris, May 2. A telegram from Souk-EI-Arba eays 2,000 Kroumirs yesterday made a desperate attempt to cut L'ogerot's communications. After an hour's bard fighting they were compelled to retreat to the wooded heights. Tbe woods were immediately fired by the French. The ranks of the Kroumirs are swollen by numerous desertions from All Bey.

Another despatch announces that Vlnceh-don's forces ergsged 5,000 Kroumirs, Thursday, near El-Aloum, and a desperate battle ensued, lasting seven hours. The Kroumirs retreated, badly beaten. Only three Frenchmen were killed and twenty wcunded. Contrary to his solemn promise to return lo TudIp, Ali Bey is retiring upon Bej. Efforts are being made to induce tbe English residents in Tunis to Mgn a petition to Queen Victoria, asking her to intervene to protect tbe Bey.

It is said I bat preparations are.being made at Kiel to send several German war vessels to Tunis. i Tbe Government has received information that a tight occurred between the French Kroumirs at Ain Ismail, April 26tb, the day the French crossed the fronlies, which lasted nine hours. Seventy-eight Kroumirs were killed end eighty-nine wounded. The French loss wss greater. Cifty-eigbt Tunisian soldier and many non-combatants were killed by the bombardment of Tabarcs.

THE NEW NORTHWEST. Immigration te Dakota The" Jfew Set-tiers Maloly Farmers from Canada. FABUO-A CltY WITH A POPULATION OF OTEB 4,000, AHD A LIVELY BUSIRESS. Fargo, (Dak.) Correspondence Chicage Tribune. For weeks tbe teams from tbe East have been hauling daily loads of immigrants into Fargo, the entrepot, distributing-point, and metropolis for the whole New Northwest.

A large majority ot the new settlers this Spring are farmers of meana from Canada, who purchased tracts of land through agents Jest year. Tbey come in parlies ranging from 100 to 300 and bringing ell their stock, implements, and household good. It is one of tbe eights of the region when an Immigrant team, billed through generally from some point in Ontario, strike Fargo. Tbe long station platform is instantly alive with Glengarry bonnets, fresh rosy mothers and maidens, chubby children, and aturdy men betraying very plainly their bardy Scotch ancestry. Tbus you shall see tbem 200 or 300 of tbem at breakfast time, and before noon they have been absorbed somehow bv tbe country.

Their teams are hitched up, and they are oft and on their claims in an hour or so after they cross tbe Red. One party of 300 arrived a couple ot week ago In snow-jtorm. Coming up through the State, Wisconsin and Minnesota especially, they kept posted as to the state of the weather at tbe place of their destination. Learning that they wonld find snow here, tbey telegraphed ahead to White, the lumberman, to get out lumber for runners to be delivered at the train on arrival. Too see, being Canucks and used to high latitudes, they knew just what to do.

In half an hour after the snow-pluw sailed into tbe station, these people bad fastened their wagon-boxes on the improvised runner, and were scooting across tbe prairies toward tbeir new homes. The little metropolis of Fargo te fast cea'lng to be little. A year ago perhaps it held a legitimate population of 1,700 or today it can show something over 4,000, and to this must be added tbe population ot Moorbead, on tbe Minnesoti side of tbe river, just aeross tbe bridge eay 2.000 more. It is growing rigbt up Into a regular city, and one can sea it grow day by day. At least seventv-Sve new buildings, including many business-: blocks, are going up at the present time, and there are twice aa many -more tone started within tbe coming two weeks.

Real estate has advanced 200 per cent, witbin a few weeks, and localities considered remote today may catch tbe boom tomorrow, a others have, and go kiting. To mind accustomed to the mushroom grow of new Westers points, this movement will of course appear speculative, unless the conditions are inspected eareluliy. In truth, the growth of tbe City ot Fargo is far in the rear of tbe country's development. Tbe population and wealth of Cass County, of which it is the county-seat, are conceded on ail hands sufficient fj support a city of 10,000 people. THR WHOL18A1SJ BtJSIWXSS -of the town Is larger than that of many cities six times its size.

Nearly ali lines of business are represented yet by a comparatively small cumber of house. In staple lines, like dry goods, groceries, provisions, hardware, and tbe like, there are concerns as extensive and slinging as much capital a the general run of like bouse In tbe larger cities. Almost without exception these came early, enjoyed a rich harvest for a few years, and have steadily extended until they control tbe trade for bur; dreda of miles west and northwest at the the same time abutting small dealer, out. Busy I You would think so. Tbe corners of La Salle and Washington streets at noon are sot more bustling taan the two leading business streets ot the future Northwestern Chicago all day long.

Let a freight train atop the way at the Broadwav Crossing for a mlo-uta, and there is tbe same old crowd tbat crosses the bridge on Madison Street daily. Everything is metropolitan. The banks are bat way two ot them, both National with egg be accidentally drank In by human being, It grows into a kind ot bladder-worm, the ravagea caused by the growth of which are so serious that In Iceland (where tbe social conditions lead to the maintenance of many dogs) it is estimated to be tbe cause of one death out of every seven. So great is the evil tbat the Iceland Legislature, some year ago, ordered that ali the doge ot the Island should be simultaneously purged and their excreta burned. These fact with rt pect to the dog show that the filthy unclean habit in which so many ladies indulge of allowing their lap doga to lick their handa and face i a practice not unattended with uanger." A SOLID SOUTHERNER.

Fine Specimen of the Sentimental Boar. bon Idiot. Soufkem Y. Tribune. I found one man, an editor, at Merldan, who seemed more solid 0 than, anyone, els I had seen.

Indeed I am strongly inclined to think that he, and a few. others somewhat like him, constitute the whole of the Solid South." This gentleman is troubled by the vulgarity of Northerners, or ot the North. ern character. He ears if we would oulv aend gentlemen to the South he would be glad to welcome as many a possible, nut so many Northern men are low and sordid, and were never in a gentleman's house ia their Uvea," and when they come to tbe South they make people think they are representative Northern men. i told him we could not well afford to aend all our best people to tbe South, aa we neeu mem at some and admitted that we have not ao many gentlemen in the North as we should like to have, and that there are traits in the character ot many Northern men wntcn are not wnony admiraoiy, but sug gee ted that my travels had given me the im presslon that in these matters tbe North and South are.

mech alike, Are. Southern me a all, or generally, gentlemen of the highest order of character Then we bad a long and rambling talk, interesting but too diffuse to be reproduced here. Our friend is not a politician, nor in any way, I think. a bad fellow. He has good Intentions and someexcetteut personal qualities.

But he is young, and he cherishes an absurd worship and regret for some features of tbe old regime la the South. He would not have slavery back but he is repelled by tbe harsh, practical, vtii gar features of the advancing new order of things. He has studied Northern character" if. as he Insists, there Is such a thing at distinct from Southern character be ha etuditd us Irom a distance, and aeee only tbe lower or worse side of our society ana civiir zatton. He and a very tew men like him at least I can find very tow are doing tbe Sooth ill eervlce.

Every now and tben this gentleman writes something which fires the Northern heart" beautifully." Politicans who wish to deal harshly wlta th South It there are any such could well afford to pay him a good salary and keep him constantly writing or taiEing- rie Will niter enougn absurdities In two hours to supply material for anti-Southern speeches for a whole political cam paign In the Northern States. I cannot see taat such men have any influence in the South. Leading Southern men Democrat everywhere warn me against them, and say they are fools. I have found no elderly man among them. They are, those that I have seen, ail ol them, Impracticable, romantic young sentimentalists, and allot them editors.

As I was leaving him I said, I wish you could take hold and help us witb the new or der oi intngs. ieet ratner sorry ior mose wbo feel aa you do." Thank you," said be, but the sympathy of our conquerois is gall log sometimes." "Ob, no," I laughingly ra- filied, do not feel conquered. That seems a ittle absurd under the circumstances, and ao long after the fight." He is a rather engag ing fellow, but he somebrfw reminded me of a young Confederate offioer whom I once met oo a battlefield in Virginia a few hours after a hard fight. Our forcee had captured the ene my's stores, and 1 was engaged wtta a detail of men opening boxes snd packages and taking account of the property, when this officer, a prisoner, who was helping their own surgeons in the care of the rebel wounded in a tent near by, came up and said, you have no right to. meddle with these things, air.

"Why not, sir?" I asked. "Because they are the property of the Confederate States of America, sir." Tben why don't tbe Con federate Mates of America take eare oi tneir property I Inquired. The old order ot things in the South has gone tbe way of the other property ot the Confederate States ot America. The Blackwell's Island Bridge. New Tork JYioune, (Sunday).

The work on the New York and Long Island Bridge, which is to be built across the East River at Blackwell's Island, will begin this week. The coffer-dam for the piers at Ravens-wood Is now ready at the dock, and will be put In place and sunk as soon aa workmen can be persuaded to go Into the water. Tbe bridge wiliveet upon four piers one on tbe Hew York side, between Sdventy-sixth and Seventy- seventh streets, one In Ravenswood, upon the lower end of the waterfront of Dr. estate, and one on each side of Blackwell's Island. The open from Ravenswoodlo Black well's Island wilt oe d)b reel, mat across me Island 700 feet, and the one reaching to tbe New York Bide 734 feet.

To shorten the space between the piers on Manhattan and Blackwell's islands, which is the longest distance to be spanned, tbe pier on the west side of Blackwell's Island is too be pi seed eighty (est from the shore, where the water la about ten feet deep. Tbe Long Island pier will be partly on land and partly in the water, and tne ctber two piers will be entirely on the land. Toe advantage of this situation is tbat all tbe piers will rest, oo tbe bed-rock, which Is in no case more than a few feet below tbe water level. Tbus the principal difficulty wblcb has blndred previous scheme for bridging tbe river Is avoided. Tbe foundations prepared by nature will save tbe company.

Dr. Rainey aays, fully six millions of dollars, and will make the undertaking, whicb would oth erwise prove of no more than ordinary profit, a very lucrative enterprise. The whole cost of the bridge, lighted by electricity, crossed by double track for steam cars, and connected on both sides with the railroads, will not be more, it is claimed, than $5,000,000. Of this turn nearly one-hall has already been subscribed, and a large amount of the stock will be taken in London. Rapid trains will run acrocs the bridge, connecting on tbe Ravenr- wood stdo, one and a ball miles from tbe river.

with the main line of tbe Long Island Railroad, and on tbe New York side with tbe Stc- ond and Third Avenue Elevated Roads, and with the Grand Central Depot, Elevators will bs placed near the piers oa both sides. and Dr. Rainey says that the time from Rav enswood to rVall Street will be leduccd to twenty minutes. Tbe work, wblcb the eon-tractors propose to finish in three years, is a private undoi taking, and a commission has been appointed by tne Supreme Court to appraise tbe land which will be taken on Black- well's liiauu. Pious Lottery Players In Naples.

Naples Correspondence London News. A correspondent of the Oaztetta di NapoU gives the following graphic account of a su perstitious ceremony which is performed three times every week towards 11 o'clock at night by a group of men, women and children of the lowest classes. Th? ceremony consists of a pilgrimage to the Old Cemetery with the object of Invoking the dead and obtaining numbers to play In tbe lottery. More than fifty men and women, aavs the correspondent, marched alowly and silently to the old cemetery, ana wnen tney reached the gate pros tr at 3d themselves and recited the customary prayers for the dead. Then some of the nlder persona, the interpreters of tbe party, grasped tbe iron bars ol the gste snd began attentively lo examine tbe interior of the cemetery.

A quarter of ao bear passed In religious silence. All at once one ol those who were gazing through the bars turned round and, in a low voice, exclaimed, "Six. teen!" Tbe moon had issued from behind a cloud and illuminated sixteen crosses. Then all tbe people made tbe sign of the cross and recited sixteen avesand sixteen gloria patris. Ten minute after an old bag cried our, a dog, a dog, Six and immediately all the others exclaimed "Six 1 six' and repeated six ave, six gloria patris and six requiems.

Then tbe erowd anxiously waited for the dead to furnish them witb tbetbird number. But no sign was given. They began ta murmur; their devotion was oa the point of turning into blasphemy. A few curse were heard. Suddenly a boy exclaimed.

London Letter to the Providence Press. Probably yoo have heard ot Whistler's ex travaganza in house. He waa engaged te decorate a noble mansion ia Bel via: the price was no object to the owner and for that matter neither was it to Whistler. One day a friend asked me to go over aad see one ot tne rooms to at waa nearly completed, and 1 hastened to accept the invitation.

Thla is what, we asw oa entering: A very slim, spare figure extended -on a mattreae In middle of the floor; beside him an enormous palette, paints, a half-dozen long bamboo hah pole resting on a line with tbeir butt oiose at hand, and a very large pair of binocular glasses. Whistler, dressed wholly in black velvet, with knickerbocker pantaloons top ping just below tne knee, black: silk stockings and- low pointed shoes, with silk ties more tnan six inches wide and diamond buck lee, was fiat on his back, fishing-rod ia band ana aa enormous eyeglass ia one eye, diligently putting some nnlshlng touches on tbe celling, his brush being on tbe other end of the fif-h- pol. Occasionally be would pick up bis double glasses like some astronomer peering at toe moon, ana having gained a nearer and better view of the effect, he would again be gin to agitate the paint brush at the other end of the long pole.

A tight ao strange that It would pay Strang era to come miles to see, occurs every night five miles south of this place, oo tbe Cedar Bluffs of the Cumberland River. Every evening, just about aundown, the sky la dark ened as far as the eye can sea by great flocks of birds to root-t in these eedara.

Your correspondent, accompanied bv a native and a lantern, spent a couple of hours last nignt among toe cedars, watching this wonderful congregation of birds of every tongue, plumage, and almost every country this side of the tropics. Startled by our approach, arret crowds of tbe chattering tribe would rise from their perches In the cedars and fly off with a noise like deep and distant thnodtr. We had to scream at the top ot our voice to hear one another speak. Large limbs of tbe trees were broken off, caused by the accumulated weight of birda. Hundreds, blinded by our lanterns would fly into our faces.

We could pick thousand ot them from tbe branches ot the trees. But what seemed so strange about thla bird convention was the seeming peace and harmony thst existed between tbe birds. Tbe hawk and dove roosted is peace on tht same branch, while hundreds ot robins and sparrows circled In perfect aalety around tht perch of large owls. In the early morning, when these songsters of tbe groves left tbeir perches In the. cedars for th fields ot the open country.

It was a most beautiful and gorgeous sight to behold. With tbe blue of the jay, the crimson and red of the fence wren end red bird, tbe yellow and gray ot tbe yellow and sparrow birds seemed like some grand and splendid panorama of tbe floral kingdom endowed with the power of music moving through the air in a procession composed of all the colors of the rainbow. Hundreds of people go every night to see this strange wonder. Bhch OfNT bbts Aits Lotions for akin die-eases, cute, sprains, bruise, Ac, and use Glxkx's STiiFHtra soap.

Bangs came tip yesterday in the United States Supreme Court-This was a suit to recover the amount of two. Insurance policies of $5,000 each upon tbe life ot Bangs, and payable to his son.

The defense of Ibe company was that the insured tooa out policies with the intention of defrauding the company by committing suicide; that this intention was known to his wife and son, and was In pursuance of a deliberate conspiracy gotten up by the three together previous to the husband's dealb, and that the letter died from. a dose of strychnine taken with suicidal intent.

I Latt NighCt Detpatchei. Dublin, May 2. Dillon received a tele gram while speaking yesterday and quietly disappeared after reading it. Nicholson and Mullen are the names of the men arrested on suspicion of firing oa Farrel and Kelly last night. When Mullen was ar rested Nicholson shouted to him not to "split." Mullen has been identified bv Kelly and will be brought ud on a charge of attempting to assassinate Farrell and Kellv and tnrettening to blow out tbe brains of the con stable.

Th. affray caused almost a pseic. At is stated that Farrell Is in possession oi information which it was imperative i-hould not be divulged. There is little that be bid the rinse himself and, BFcoming faini-bearted at the prospect of a search, gave them up on the pretext of having found tbem. When he did this there was ne guarantee that he would not tell all he knew respecting Fenian movement and repositories of arm at Dublin.

Tbe Freeman's Journal says No true Irish man can regard the fotnre with any feeling save one of grave distrust and utter dismay. The Irish Times says: The shooting of Farrell proves that a spirit of most dangerous lawlessness larks in Dublin, apparently under the management ot some secret influence. The discovery of hidden rifles Is almost as staiillng as the shooting of tbe boy. We cannot regard tbe future wiih any reeling but one of grave distrust and utter dismay. Dillon was arrested this evening at Port Arlington on his way to Dublin.

Dillon wa arrested on a warrant charging him with inciting persons to forcibly oppose and resist the execution of process of law lor giving possession of land, and to riot and as. aault. On arriving at Dublin ha was taaen to KUmatnbam jail. A warrant tor arrest of Brennan haa been made ou'. ne was not tbe slightest attempt at a PPuf monstraUon on the arrival of DU'on at Dublin.
