AVliHt iriitrht be called the sentimental obstacles to harmony "ctwcen the countries are explained in part as follows "The English government of Ireland is still prac- tit-ally a furoign government. Tbe Engli-h may say that it ought not be po, cannot be so, because after all the two islands form out; king doin, owo allegiance to a queen who is us directly qncun of tbe one as of the other, arc governed by a popu hir assembly, iu which repiesenta-tivus of Ii eland representatives more numerals than her population and wealth entitle hor to Bit and vote nnd speak freely, aud more than rreely.

JNeverUinlees people in Ire hmd still think of antl tiilk of tbo nal power, set in motion by forces th -y do not control, conducted on principles which may or may not be good, hut which are not their prin- ciples. Unquestionably there is much truth iu such a view. One need only listen to an Irish debato peoples, tint they are con- tempt nous of, at Lest, condescend ing. They do not allow tho subject to forget that ho is not only a subject but an inferior. Their very indifference to his opinion of the in is the most constant evidence of their pride.

Between them and the Irish there is a sort of incompatibility like that which existB between the German and tho Slav. It is true that tboy do not hate the Irish as tbe Germans do the Slavs, and as the Lowland Scotch hated the Celtic Highlanders, even fo recently as in the days of Thomas Carlvle'a youth. An Englishman is not sensible of any antipathy to an individual Irishman and it need not bo said that an individual Irishman baa every chance, and uses it, of success iu England. In the professions uf arms and law and medicine, in. the church, in literature aud many of the leading men uf modern Britain are Irieh by birth or education, real irishmen with their Irish quality, perhaps even their Irish speech bewraying them.

But for Ireland as a whole, or for any group or Irishmen associating them selves as Irishmen, tho Englishmen have a feeling which, if not dislike, is least distrust, and wmon, cm hardly to be called con tern ptuoiiSj is certaiuly not respectrul. An Irishman who is content to be even as an Englishman is received on the same footing. But Irish men who obtrude their Hibernian character and mitiomdity arc ill regarded, Then local patriotism is thought ri diculous. What have tboy to be William II. Vandcrbilt surprised J10 mM "KWk not 1 1 from the principal control of the railroads he bus bo long managed and which he partly owns.

This stop has been taken from a desire to have a uttlt more rest. Ihey arc all in a prosperous condition and running smoothly. Perhaps his retirement from the direct mimngo meut will not le so much felt He bus for years been training a competent corps of mon and these will carry ou the work he hiis superintended so long and so successfully. This is the plan now adopted on all well conducted roads. Promotion goes 01 iu the order of merit.

There is little or no favoritism. The man who proves himself capablo and efficient goes to tho front. The io- capablcs aro dropped from the rolls. is about tbo only placo wo know the line of merit. It ib a kind of reform that means something.

It could bo profitably studied by tbe Civil Service Commission of the general government. The Pennsylvania railroad is a tine example of what promotion, according to merit, means. Its ablest officers have risen from the lowest round to tho highest. Its great efficiency and success are largely due to this cause. It could be profitably adopted in a Initi vieed the killing of only John Kintz- lcr and the scaring of his wife.

Grotehen. Fifth, The defendant was arrested, indicted, tried for and acquitted of tho killing of John Kintzler. Sixth, Tho confession of Jona than Moyer, mado in the presence of the Rev. D. E.

Reed, is to the same effect as Uriah Moyer's. docs not connect the defendant with tho killing nor oven with the taking of the money. He says that Emanuel Ettinger and Uriah Moyer were present at the killing, on Friday, and that Emanuel Ettinger, Uriah Moyer and bimsell wore present at tho taking of tho money, on Saturday. That they were present on tho former occasion.aud they were present on the latter occasion, and he names them. Seventh, Tlio confession of Emanuel Ettinger, made in the presence of his spiritual advisor, Rev.

J. P. Shindle, Mr. John P. Stttler, a jail keeper, and tho Hon.

Blinking and glowing tbe bright white and blue light scattered beams alike up 011 the just and the unjust and made conspicuous everything within its compass.

The streets were crowded early. The day closed heautiful ly e'ear and all who could were out to enjoy its close. Alongside tho electric the gas is a feeble thing and the oil lamp a spectre. The lights with but two or three cxcaptions burned ffnnd ly throughout the evening and tho current was not cut until half past ten. There are not as many using the lamps or who had them in use Saturday evening as will have thorn.

A number of applications were not filled because of the lack of time. Being mi experiment the lights gave i satisfaction and the trial will be re- peatcd next Saturday evening, with I all weak points strengthened aud the wires perfected. In the square between Front and Second street, a lamp was suspended to prove tbo new illuminant'8 as compared with gas. The effect was far beyond expectation and something will bo said of it in councils this evening. It is a romaakable fact that not a single electric light company in the country ie down in the lists as having paid a dividend during the past year.

Tho light is at best an experiment. Edison, the originator, at Meulo Park, is pursuing day by day plans looking to its ultimate perfection. Of the various patonts the Edison, Brush, and Argamix aro the leading ones aud none of them approach the expectations of tho inventors. The liaht is in more general use in New York and Chicago than in Philadelpl'i but it meets the demand butter in tho lat ter city, principally from the fact that there is no conflict of companies.

A new nso has bo 'U discovered for oyster shell. For years they have been used for the manufacture of lime as manure, for decorative in tho preparation of a cheap imitation of marble but if it is now found that they cannot be better utilized thin by being thrown in quantities into the sea, wnere nicy mako tlio host possiblo foundation fur nev oyster beds. In July and August net many ship loads of these empty shells will be sunk by English and French oyeter farmers in various places suitable for tlio purpose, and a few healthy, liv-I ing oysters will thon be droppod upon the same spots. Experiments have proved that under such condi-1 tiona the bivalves will shortly multiply to an almost incredible extent and in so brief a period as two years each empty shell will have from thirty to forty young oysters attach-, ed to it.

A strong- legal contest between Curtis S.

Books and the bore ugh of Dan ville came to a close at the Blooms- burg court on Saturday, tho jury rendering a verdict against tho bor- ouch for $3,600. I he history of the case is, that Charlotte Books, wife of tho plain-. iff in this suit, on the night of Oc- tober 27,1878, attended her church, in Danville, and the next morning was found drowned in the canal, which runs through the central part of the town. In going to and from church she was obliged to puss ov- 1 er the canal bridge on Church one abutment ot which was nn- guarded at the time, and tho plain- titt charged that by reason ot the borongh omeere neglecting to guard the abutment, his wifo missed her way, stepped over tho into the canal and was drowned. The borough authorities set up tho defense that the plaintiff's wife committed suicide.

The verdict was the subject of milch comment. Over sixty witnesses wore iu attendance. This suit has bcon before the court, off and on, for tho past four years, and came up for a final hearing with the above result.

i people, so moulded legislation. The press must not only direct the thought of the people, but do the tlJiuking tor the pooplc. 11 us has bcon preeminently true during the past fifty years of our nation's life. No country, perhaps, has had such a varied history, has undergone so many has encountered so many vicissitudes. Our changeful political complexion, our wars, our financial crisis, our unprecedented growth, our gigantic our influential states among tho nations-, havo all contributed to and made, necessary the most vigorous application of journalistic energy.

During all these changes Col. Tate has wielded a strong pen, ha6 consecrated his lifo with singleness of purpose and with unswerving decision. During all his life he has stood by the ono party, has adhered to its principles, has fought its but tics; whatever may be men's political predilections, however thoy may differ in relation to any interest of life, they will respect a man of strong conviction. A man, who, believing ho is right, will stand by its the respect of thoughtful men, is indeed every inch a man, is a king among men by divine ordination. The Party Game The result uf the elect km last autumn, says Harper's Weekly put both parties on their good behavior.

Tho Republicans had still a scssiou of, Congress before them in which to show their disposition, and iu N. Y. where the majority against the Republican candidates was overwhelming aud unprecedented, the Democrats had tho Legislature, and tho greatest possible opportunity. In the contest of the winter for the favor ot tbe country, carried on by the Republicans in Congress and by the Democrats in the New York Legislature, every honest observer must agree i hat the Democrats have ignoinioiously faib-d. The twoiin-; purtant measures in Congress were the reform bill and the revision ol the tariff.

The Republicans were responsible for legislation, aud early in the session tlmy passed a reform bill substantially as it was drain by the friends of reform. The on ly vigorous opposition to it came from Yet the Demo crats had vociferously demanded ic- form. aud appealed to the country as especially roformeis. Tho tariff was it! vised and the revenue roduc ed. It was the reduction more than the larilf in which tho country was interested, but the Democrat left the impression that they would tolerate a redundant revenue if it were nut reduced in tin ir own way.

Congress adjourned, and the two results which ihu election had been universally understood imperatively to demand administrative reform and rodnction of the revenue had achieved by tho Republicans, ft was, indeetl, the same Congrtss which six months before had scornfully flouted reform. But it luid not then heard from the country, and the immediate oues'iun of the winter was, which party will most! truly apprehend and cany out the' wishes of the country I At length tho Democratic trial ImB also ended. Up 11 every great mcuBuro in which the principles which tbe election showed to be fciv- ored by tbe people have been invulv- ed the Democratic has taken the wrong position. It has pumonstratcd the taisuuood ut own platforms aud it has renewed in fall vigor tho deep and general distrust of tho party. Viewing the contest of tbe winter merely as a game, without reference to sincerity 1 or principle, tho Democratic party has been incredibly stupid.

It totally and iguomimoufly loit the 1 game, and it has itself furnished tin strongest reasons for its general defeat next year. About three o'clock ono morning of last week Miss Miller and Miss Noonan, telegraph operators in a tower ot the Pennsylvania Company, were greatly alarmed by a tramp who climbed a telegraph the roof of the tower and tried to gain access tn the apartment of tho ladies.

All the liquor saloons in Wilkes-JSarrc, 250 in number, wore closed on Sunday, owing to the efforts of the Law and Order Association." The liquor dealers, believing that the law should be enforced in other cases if in heir's, induced the Mayor on Saturday night lo order the elosing of the cigar storos. Ho other bnsiuesB was interferred with.

It is said the incensed cigar dealers have to a man declared their intention of Beeing that the Snnday liquor law is enforced in the future." Freight Train Wrecked. 14. TheEm-pi re freight train east was wrecked at the Montgomery bridge this afternoon. Five cars left the track just west of the bridge derailing which ran into the bridge.

Among the theories that have been suggested for the cause of cy-clontB in tho Southwest has heen tho wholesale destruction of the for ests. Tho wood-cutter's axe has been justly charged with tho droughts and noods in our rivers, and now the attempt is made to add the cyclone in the list of its evil results. Tl.e theory of planetary influence in producing cyclones is apparently negatived by tho local character of the whirlwinds. It is therefore suggest ed that the wholesale denud ition or the forests has increased electrical d'sturbatices and removed the bl ua and harriers to suriacc current: wind. Tho theory is, however, pret ty badly shattered by the fact that cyclones have been most frequent in localities where there has been the least cutting of irecs.

It is true that tho Southwest is largely bare of forests, but it is naturally so. The destruction of forests can hardly bo charged wi'h the cyclone in localities where there have been no forests within tlii memory of man. ribbons, velvet oan I ed in her bow.

Mr. Gowen has taken no action on tho petition, but an increase in his salary is now talked of, and the pulse of the stockholders is being privately felt on this sul j.ct.
