Work is work, dono order, to a certain standard, how and when it is required, without regard to its being interesting or the reverse. Neither crochet, embroidery, Berlin wool work, war flowers, paper mats, or any other of the many expedients for killing time, must be relied upon for earning a living.

Purchasers are often found for articles of fancy work of tiie class alluded to hut the kindly motive of purchasers is generally a defiance of all the natnral laws that govern supply and demand, and sales are necessarily spasmodic not continuous. Of allthedelu-eions of which it behoves the educated women of the future to shake off is that of dependence on needlework for bread-earning. The day has gone by for any sufficient reward to be obtained by ita use. But, as we have already stated, Miss Drew does not dispel such dreams without offering a substitute in reality. She hastens to show what em-ployments are remunerative and how success can best be attained by their pursuit.

Her interesting and trustworthy pamphlet should be in the hands of all those who are desirous to forward a movement of undeniable importance to the country in which we lire. The price of the pamphletnow on sale at the Irish Exhibition is only twopence. We observe that the inhabitants of Ramsgate have decided to place a portrait of the late Colonel King-Harinan in the Town Hall. This shows that, whatever opponents may have pretended to think of the late Parliamentary Under Secretary for Ireland, he was held in high esteem by many of his constituents. This must be admitted that ho was a brave Irishman, and faithfully strove to discharge what must have been, very unpleasant, as well as very onerous duties.

That the Nationalists hastened his end there can be no doubt. Some recognition of his worth is, therefore, Reserved. THE IATE COLONELlINfi-HABHAl. Ramsgate, Tuesday. At mooting helrit here to-day it was decided to place a portrait of the lata Colonel King-Harman in the Town Hall.

ALLEGED MURDER OF A W0IAN AT PLYMOUTH. Plymouth, Tuesday. An inquest was opened at Plymouth to-night on the body of a young woman, name unknown, which was picked up'tbic afternoon nn-ler Plymouth Hoe. Ort Monday afternoon a soldier and a woman were heard having high words together on a cliff near the spotMn question, tvnd shortly after the soldier was observed running away, and the woman had disap.

peared. About this time a soldier entered thj barracks, close at hand, pumped by running, without his hat. His name was taken, and the poRct believe they have thus secured the clue to what they regard as foul play. EXECUTION AT OXFORD. TERRIBLE SCENE ON THE Oxford, Tuesday.

The execution of Robert Upton for the mutder of his wife at Milton-imd'or-Wychwood in May last took place this morning in Oxford Jail. The condemned man had passed a good night, sleeping most of the time, and walked with a firm step to the scaffold. Berry was tho executioner, who is said to have used a five-foot drop but Upton, who had a slender neck, and was six foot in height, disappeared below the trap on the bolt being drawn, tho effect of the fall almost severing the head from the trunk, and thus'caus-iug a most horrible spectacle Upton, who was a very ignorant man, had paid great attention to the ministration of the chaplain since his condemnation. There was the usual assemblage of -spectators outside the jail to witness the hoisting of the black flag. Another correspondent says When the oulprit disappeared through the trap the prison offioials '-and reporters present heard a splashing 'sound, and upon looking into the cavitjy saw that the shock of the fall had torn the flesh off tbe cttlprit's neck, from which tho blood had poured into the pit below, and sploshed on the sideB of tho scaffolding.

Death had, of course, baen instantaneous. Berry accounted for tbo occurrence by stating-that the culprit's nsck was thin, and that with a man of his ago such a thing could not always be prevented. i THE VANDELEUR EVICTIONS. A COUNTER PROCLAMATION. As stated yesterday, the Government have issued proclamations warning all persons against assembling around Kilrnsh during the evictions, while a counter proclamation has been posted, oJ which the following is a copy proclamation.

"Come on Norbury, come on with your hire lings. We await you and them. This is not the first ttmo the same hellish game was played oh our forefathers. If the mouldering bones in Shariak- lyle could speak; if the waters of the ferry could give up their dead, humanity wonld bo aghast at the dreadful tale they could toll. We faced the crowbar brigade then when we Tvere friendless.

Do you think wo fear them now No, we will fight every inohof ground, and use every means in our power, legitimate and otherwise, to defeat you. Woo botide the coward that gives in to tho murderer of John Mandeville. Remember John Dillon in Dnndalk Jail: God save Ireland." The reference to Norbury in the above lies inthe fact of Judge Norbury being grandfather, to Captain Vandoleur. Despite the preparations on both sides, influential gentlemen are exerting themselves for a settlement yet. The amount of arrears on the estate is enormous about 80,000.

The priests on Sunday at all the masses discountenanced violence towards tho police and soldiers. ATTACK ON A HOUSE IN CASTLEWELLAN. Casti.ewella, Tuesday. To-day, the pioraiBea of Mr. Wilson, a lnercliant of this town, were wrecked.

A man went to the shop windows, armed with the handle of a pick, and before the police arrived deliberately smashed every window in the front of Wilson's house. It is alleged that the cause of the attack is that Wilson took the premises from which another man was evicted. The alleged offender was arrested by the police, who. it is stated, bad to use their swords before the arrest could be effected. A magisterial investigation will be held to-morrow CWednesday) at ten o'clock.

T. Harrington repr' sentcd the relatives. 1 Mr. Morphy, Barrister-at-Law (instructed by Mr. St.

Leger) appeared for the Prisons Board. District-Inspector Seymour said he represented the Crown, but would produce no evidence. The first witness called was Mrs. Mary Mandeville, the widow, who gave evidence as to his imprisonment under the' Crimes Act. She stated that before then he was strong, and.

used to carry her upstairs. He never did so after leaving prison. He tried once, and then said she had grown very heavy. He complained to -ft'ituess of his throat, and said the prison doctor frequently certified that he was fit for punishment when he was not. Witness continued He told me that while his throat was sore be was three days 011 punishment diet.

Ho told me that his threat was so sore during that time he could not cat the punishment diet, brown bread, and he drink the cold water; that he took nothing to eat for more than twenty hours because ho could not eat the bread or drink the water. He told me that one, I of the prisonecs in the jail hod given him a rope, and that he tied it round hie waist, and as he suffered more and more ftoni hunger he tightened the rope. (Sensation, in court). Mr. Wm.

O'Brien stated that Mr. Mandeville told him that at Cork ho had been deprived of his own clothes, and that he made no resistance beyond protesting; that they were returned to him before bis departure for Tullamore; and that no power on -earth would make him give them up again without a struggle. He met Mr. Mandeville coming from mass on the following Sunday morning, when deceased was greatly changed. He never met hiia again until his release.

The Court adjourned until to-morrow, when Mr. Wm. O'Brien will be cross-examined. THE GLADS'i'ONIANS AND THEIR' PARNELLITE ALLIES. London, Tuesday.

FAILURE OF A FIRM OF BIRMINGHAM SOLICITORS. LIABILITIES 40,000 Birmingham, Tuesday. A meeting of the creditors of Messrs. Oelf Latham, who, until two months ago, carried on one of tbe oldest-established and, apparently, lucrative practices as solicitors in Birmingham, was held here to-day. The liabilities amount to nearly 40,000, and the assets to little over 3,000.

The meeting was very largely attended, and, under questions, the senior bankrupt admitted that the firm had applied to their own use large sums of money which had been placed in their hands by clients for investment. When applied to in reference to these moneys they had represented them to be $aced out on mortgages and other investments which did not exist, and in some cases the deeds of property belonging to clients had been obtained by misrepresentation, and pawned to cover advances to the firm. The bankrupts are also under remand in criminal proceedings against them' for misappropriation of a considerable sum belonging to a lodge of Oddfellows. A trustee and committee of inspection were appointed, and the bankrupts being unable to make any offer to their clients, adjudication was determined on. THE COUNTY DOWN RAILWAY.

111301 DYNAMITE PLOT II CHICAGO. OF REVENGE. BUILDINGS TO -BE 'BLOWN TO. THREE ARRESTS, FROM Otrft CORRESPONDENT. Chicago, Tuesday Afternoon.

An almost indescribable sensation hsabeen caused here by the announcement that a great dynamite plot, directed against public buildings 'and State officials, has been unearthed by. tbe When there appeared serious probability -that the anarchists condemned for complicity in the Haymarket massacre" would', be hanged their fellow-revolutionists indulged in the wildest threats of which were renewed when the executions actually took place, but nobody ever attached any importance to the wild talk of revenge, and the newspapers referred to it with contemptuous sarcasm. It now transpires that these desperato men were in earnest. The plot now discovered had its ramifications all over the lower districts of the city, and, it is believed, extended even as far as New York. Its immediate object was to blow up the Board of Trade and- other large public buildings, and to murder most of the men judicial and police officials and witnesses whose work and evidence seoured the conviction of Parsons, Spies, and others of the infamous gang of anarchists.

Specially elaborate plans were matured for compassing the death of Mr. Julius S. Grinnell, the city attorney; Judge Garry, and Police-Inspector Boufleld. The police became awaro some time ago that some serious plot was being- hatched among tbe anarchists, and it -was not long before the detectives were in possession of sufficient evidenco to justify their intervention. It was, however, deemed advisable to let the plot come to a head, in order that the entire gang of conspirators' might be swept into one wide net, Nervous citizens just now are rather inclined to the.

belief that the police played with their prey dangerously long, for'tlm plot was to have been put into execution at midnight tonight, and it was not until yesterday that the authorities decided the time-for action had arrived. At two o'clock this morning the chief meeting place and manufactory of tho conspirators was surrounded by police, aud then entered by a strong pome of tho best-nerved men in the force. It was confidently espe'eted ihat tho whole gang, known to number at least twenty desperadoes, would bo caught in the trap, but tothe iutense disgusi of the police, only threo men were, found on the premises. They were quiokly handcuffed without offering serious resistance, and then a minute search was made of the house, with startling results. Twelve cases or filled with dynamite, were found, tho quantity being sufficient, it is said, to blow up entire streets, and to place hundreds of lives in ieonardy.

The dvnamito was removed to a safe plaooj for the prisoners were taken to tho station-housea- One of them, who vehemently protested bis' innocence, and who, it was louna, naa not ueen very long in the country, was released under surveillance but tho others both well-known anarchists of the most oxtremn school are detained in and it is certain that other arrests will soon be made. The- police refuse to divulge any namea or to give much information respecting the designs of the conspirators. But it has been ascertained that the dynamite was to have been placed under the houses of those marked out for destruction and to bs exploded simultaneously by means of time fuses or clocliworlc further details of the plot are t. uwtuiiuu wirni muun anxiety MYSTERIOUS DEATH OF AN OSANGE- MAN NEAR BAN BRIDGE. THE INQUEST.

P.AirisBlDGE, -T esdav, r-rDr. Alexander Heron, J.P., coroner, hold an inquost to-day on the body of Robert G-reonaway, who -was found on the railway line on the night of the 1 3th inst. Tho next-of-kin wS3 represented by Mr. Samuel Cunningham, Banbridgo, District- Inspectors Bcness (Portadown) and -Miller (Banbridge) watohed the proceedings on.bebalf of the Crown. The first witness examined was Mr.

John Hozaok, who deposed be. remembered the even ing of the 1 3th of present month, and was coming from Scar va towards his' own bouse. The night was pretty dark, and had been raining. He heard a noise when near Whiteside's bridge. It was tho voice of a person singing.

He asked who was that, and the person singing did not reply. He was aware that a train wonld pass over the line in half an hour or on-honr afterwards. He struck a match and examined the man and liftad him, and after a close inspection discovered that tho person in his arms was his servant man, Robert Greenaway. He could not stand on his feet; then. Witness called a man named George Clarke to give assistance.

Clarke had retired for the night, feut got np immediately and followed "witness. Assisted him to bring- the injured man over the parapet wall and home. He ilid not cross -the railway bridge in coming He questioned the deceased as to how he received the wounds, but could got no satisfactory reply. The witness and Clarke got the deceased up to hin but he djjlnot apeak Bensibly tho whole way. No informationtiduld be obtained from him.

When he first found dc-cep-sod he had his hat on his head, and -there were.no bruises or cuts in it. that he could observe. He had since heard that the doctor said his-skull was fractured, and he considered it rather strange that he was sitting quietly with his hat on after having his skull fractured. Miry Jones deposed that she was well acquainted with the deceased, who was with her in Scarva on 1 3th July. She went from Scarva to Gilford, and returned again.

She walked home from Scarva to her mother's house in the. evaning-, and arrived there about eight o'clock. The deceased remained up till ten o'clock. He had only taken one bottle of porter and a half glass of whisky that day. He was perfectly sober when he left her company to go home.

Samuel Newell, David Spence, John Jones, and several other persons were examined, all of whose evidence went to corroborate the previous witness, but nothing new was elicited. Mr. Wm. Dobbin deposed that he and Dr. M'Rride, of Gilford, had made ft nost-mortem exa mination of the deceased, and that, on removing the scalp, they tountt tho front part of his head all smashed up.

Some of the fragments were loose, and the brain protruding. Whan ho first saw the deceased he was suffering, from compression of the brain, the result of a fractured skull. He visited the place where the occurrence took place, and he had ho doubt that the deceased -must have fallen from the bridge on to the railway. No blow from a weapon would have caused such injuries. Dr.

'Bride gave similar evidence. The jury found that the came to his death from injuries received on bis head by a fall, and they were of opinion that suoh fall was caused by Borne person or persons to them unknown. ACCIDENT ON THE GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY. Yesterday evening a plate-layer named Alexander Morrow, at Broomhedge, near Moira, met with a rather serious accident at the Groat Northern Railway terminus. Ho had been walking down the line, when an engine which was being backed struck him, knocking.

him down, anil when he was endeavouring to pull himself away from the line his feet were caught in the wheels of the engine and fearfully mangled. Theeugine, which was going at a slow rate pf-speed at the time, was brought to a standstill, and the injured -man was removed to the Royal Hospital, where ma injuries wore astenaeo. to.

In the evening an open-air meeting of the. match girls was held at Mile End, at which the surrender of the directors was announced amid enthusiastic cheers.

TiffE I1ISI EXHIBITION. FANCY BAZAAR. BY OUE SPKCIAIi TTIBB Lo'vdok, Tuesday. Fresh life was imparted to the Irish Exhibition to-day by the opening of the long-iTjroraised grand fancy bazaar. This important funotion has brought to Olympia rank, fashion, and troops of friends.

There is a general incUiation among the public to favour this em-pc im of Irish trade and commerce, with its sidis lit a of peasant life and monumental charac- teru It is the one spot where the feuds that rags over Irish politics are ignored, if not torn. buried. Upon this neutral ground the political ladies of both parties in the State have met in friendly rivalry. The object of the bazaar was worthy of the co-operatien of the distinguished ladies who appeared on the scene to-day, and who will continue to hold the field" for the next three days. The old market-placo of Belfast, with its quaint gables and bid-fashioned windows, has been erected at considerable cost by the execu tive in order to provide a place where the beautiful work of the poor women of Ireland might be exhibited and sold.

But for this act of thoughtf nl-ness thousands of persons would have been unrepresented and exoluded from this national undertaking. Here, consequently, have been brought lace and needlework embroidery, knitting, and a variety of work, the outcome of industrious handSj and that, tbo, without the expenses incidental to forwarding of goods to a reedg-nised do-pot, But this act of benevolence has caused a heavy drain on tbe Exhibition finances, and it was in order to recoup this in part, if not altogether, that Lord Arthur Hill and his committee organised tbe fancy fair. The idea was enthusiastically taken up by ladies whose potent influence may be said to regulate fashion and overn society They not on ly offered, their services as stall-keepers, but contributed articles of every description for sale, and, indeed, levied black mail" on their friends and acquaintances to serve the same object. As a result tho stalls were laden with articles of a most miscellaneous description, from music and literature to walking-sticks, from glass and china ware to perfumery and fans, and from flowers and drawing-room ornaments to photographs and pug puppies 1 It will be seen from tho subjoined revised list of names that a more comprehensive list of not be desired, containing as, it does names suggestive of tho very antipodes of politics to wit The Marchioness of Salisbury and Mrs. Gladstone, Countess Spencer and the.

To the above have to be "added two other stalls, on which were sold quantities of Kimberley diamond earth, made up in neat parcels, presented by Sir Charles Mills, K.C.M.G., C.B., who notified.in writing that the earth contained a percentage of diamonds and rubies.

These packages were Bold at 2s 6d each, and the stall was presided over by tbe Hon. Mrs. Armytage and Miss Alice Armytago; and the other a stall, under the direction of. Lady Arthur Hill, tor tho sale of artificial flowers for the Tho fair did not open till half -past three o'clock, but long before that hour the building was thronged with people, and from three onwards there was a great rush of sightaecrs eager, to get a glimpse of tho Drichess of Teck and the noble phalanx of fair ladies who wore shortly to cater for the public. All the ladies arrived on the scene early, except the Marchioness of Salisbury, who drove up with her party at three o'clock and awaited at tbe entrance the arrival of tho.

Duchess' of, Teck. Her Royal Highness arrived at half -past three, and was received by Lord Arthur- Hill, the Marchioness of Salisbury, and the Marohionossof Londonderry, the Countess Spencer, the Countess of Aberdeen and others. A procession was then formed, headed by the Duchess of Teck and the Marchioness of Salisbury, and marched down the' centre avenue round the fountain and into the old market-place. The line of route on either side was thronged by spectators, and as the procession wended its way the band the London Irish Rifle Voluuteers played the National Anthem. On euterifig the marketplace the Princess Mary went direct, to the stall of the Marchioness of Salisbury, where, assisted by ber willing helpers, she immediately opened the bazaar, and a very busy time she bad of it.

Round this, stall for upwards of an hour there wsb a compact crowd, everyone being anxious to purchase a flower from the of the Princess. While no extra charge was made to Olympia, entrance to the Old Markot Place could only be obtained -by payment of 2s. But this infinitesimal toll had np effect in preventing overcrowding the rush of people was enormous, and the limited space quiokly became uncomfortably warm. Movemenn in any direction became not merely difficult, but well-nigh impossible, aud the indefatigable young ladies bent on pressing their wares were sadly retarded in their well-meant efforts. Matters mended with timo, but throughout the evening the Belfast Market Place was perhaps the most congested district of Ireland, but in this instance with gaily dressed people.

To say that businoss was brisk and that large Hums' of money were taken wonld be to convey a very weak idoa of the commercial aotivity that prevailed and of tbe tact and persuasive powers of the fair stall-kcopori. Many who ontered with well-lined purses came with these receptacles pretty well "scooped." The ''fun of the was at the establishment over which Lady Kilmorey presided, where puppies and kittens and birds were to be seen in great variety. Tho beautiful young ladies moved to and fro among the crowd offering tortoise-shell kittens at 2s Bd apiece, and'the countess was to be seen demonstrating the high breed of a pug puppy by holding aoountorfeitpresentmentup by theskin. The pugs were easily disposed of in lotteries to subscribers at 5s each. Another raffle was thot in which a Kerry cow was drawn for by subscribers.

-After se ven o'clock tbe charge of admission to the market-place was reduced to a shilling, and tomorrow (Wednesday) this price will be charged all through till the close, and on Thursday and Friday, after seven p.m., sixpence only will 'be charged. So far as to-day's experience goes the bazaar has proved an unqualified success, and the utmost satisfaction has been expressed bv all in- lerebiBU in one project. DEATH OF A CENTENARIAN.

Despite the strange and peculiar opposition of Lord Herschell, the Companies Bill passed through committee in the House of Lords this evening, and now there is every probability of ita being passed into law this session. If Lord Herschell, backed by Lords Kimberley and Granville, had had their way the bill would have been "hung up" in the limb of a select committee for the rest of the year. The Prime Minister described tbe hostility of the leaders of the Opposition to the Lord Chancellor's measure as of a sham and a bogus character.

To use the language of the noble marquis, the bill is sadly needed to prevent the formation of "bogus companies," intended merely to enrich their pro-moters. The public, when the raoasure becomes law, will not be exposed to the old risks attendant upon the investment of money in the liability of companies. No doubt, as the Lord Chancellor, observed, the genius of fraud would keep round and attach itself to any laws which the Legislature might pass, but the clear duty of the Government was to make the schemes of the fraudulent more difficult of realisation. Dullness and business reigned supreme in the House of Commons to-night. There was neither fire nor passion, recrimination nor abuse scarcely a loud word was heard in any quarter.

All was peace and calm. The Irish Nationalist leader and most of his supporters were 'invisible, so Ministers had to be content in their absence with the mild inquiries of such quiet mombers as Mr. Handel Coss-hamandSirT. Esmondo, Dr. Cameron and Mr.

Conybeare, Mr, Piekersgill and Mr. Channing, the latter of whom soemed very anxious that the Home Secretary should enlighten him as to the scientific mystery connected with the frog's march. -Upon this Mr. Matthews was silent, but he explained that, according to a police order of the year 885, tho practice known under that name had been prohibited, except in certain cases of absolute neces sity, and then resort to the military march had to be reported the next day. In view of tho evictions which are to be held on theVandeleur estate, in the County Clare, to-morrow, Mr.

Sexton put a question or two to Mr. Balfour, which clearly indicated that the Government mean by the force requisitioned or the occasion to maintain the peace and give due effect to the decrees of the law courts. Mr. Sexton inquired if resistance" was expected, and Mr. Balfour stated that every effort to produce resistance, had been made by the agitators, and if Mr.

Sexton and Mr. John O'Connor, who craved for ready data, did not accept this assurance the Chief Secretary was quite prepared to give them fuller information on notice. This turned the laugh against the questioners, and tho matter dropped. The phenomonal progress made with the Local Government Bill in committee to-night has taken away the breath of the oldest parliamentary hand. The chances are that the whole measure, including the schedules, will be disposed of to-morrow.

Afterwards the Irish Drainage Bills will be taken np and passed as quickly a3 possible. I do not think that niucn can come of the Radical even it is seriously pisrsisted in. With the Local Government Bill through committee the way will be clear for the ample and copious discussion on the army and navy estimates which Lord, Randolph Churchill demands. The remaining votes in committee of supply will occupy, it is expocted, tho next three weeks, thus landing us in the first or second week in August, when everybody desires to get away for a holiday. There is still some talk to-night to the effect that an autumn sitting may yet be avoided.

This can only happen if inisters abandon such important measures as the Welsh Tithes Bill, the Railway Rates tlpon the provisions of which a grand committee has been sitting all the session the Land Purchase (Ireland) Amendment Bill, and other measures of flrst-class importance. Ado-finite statement one way or the other will probably be madfe by Ministers' on Thursday. It was expected that' the Parnell Allegation Bill would be issued to members of the House of Commons to-night, but it will not leave the printer's hands until to-morrow. I hear that up to the present the judges who may be selected to conduct the inquiry have not been nominated. Tho English Bench is somewhat undermanned, but it can supply any number of independent and impartial men, who would conduct any inquiry that may be held to the satisfaction of all parties.

The crowds of visitors at the first exhibition at Olympia to-day, the first day of the fancy fair, were prodigious. Standing-room could not be found for all those who obtained admission, and thousands of people had to be turned away. A number of members of Parliament interested in the native 'Irish industries endeavoured to gain admission to the Exhibition in the afternoon, but -were unsuccessful. Sir Edward Green, the member for Wakefield, was one of an indignant number of representatives who subsequently laid all tho blame of the matter upon the shoulders of Lord Arthur Hill, the hon. secretary.

The fancy fair will, no doubt, greatly popularise tho Exhibition, which up to the present has had the weather against it. The winner of tho Queen's Prize at Wimbledon, Mr. Fulton, hails from Westminster, and not, for a wonderj from over the border, nor even from Devonshire, which at one time ran Scotland close in crack riflemen. When the. result of the competition was made known in the lobby of the.

House of Commons this afternoon, a metropolitan member was hoard to devoutly thank Providence that the victor was not a Scotchman. About this, however, the honourable member ought not to be too confident, for the sous of Scotia have been known to penetrate so far south as Westminster. ARRESTS IN SLIGO. Sligo, Tuesday. This morning four members of the Gurteon Branch of the National League were conveyed here under a strong police escort, charged, on an information made by District-Inspector Wall, with entering into a confederation and conspiracy to impede tho administration of the law by refnsing to be sworn and give evidence respecting a certain case which was at bearing in a court held at Mullaghroe, in the County of Sligo, on tho 21st June, under the Coercion Act.

Losdok, Tuesday. George Wyndham, private secretary to Sir. Balfour, has sent the following letter to a correspondent "Irish Office, July 17 th, 1888. Dear Sir am obliged to you for bringing to my notice a letter published in a Hampshire- newspaper, and signed by Mr. J.

Corben. who passed some criticism upon my answer to your original communication. Tho accuracy of the faots with which I then supplied you has also been impugned by Mr. Wm. O'Brien, who again, in the Freeman's Journal of Monday, attacks the reply I made to him in that paper' issue of the 1 4th inst, and is further reinforced by a letter contributed from the prison at Derry City by 1 Father M'Faddcn If you care to read these letters and the leading articles upon the same subject you will see how very far this controversy has strayod from the original at issue the morality of the plan of oampaign.

I enclose my answer to Mr. O'Brien's violent attack, and am convinced that any impartial, render will allow that the interpretation placed by mo upon Mr. Kflbride's words is not only a natural one bnt the only one they can be made to bear. To return to the original question. You asked for a judgment, not upon the morality of the' i plan of campaign but in particular forthe contradiction of Mr.

Corben's assertion that ifc.had bean used against a good, landlord. In answer to your appeals, I submit that this title could hardly be withheld from Mr. Ponsonby, Tho O'Grady, or Lord Lans-downo. I might have added the naine of Mr. Brooke.

Mr. O'Erion, except witha curious want of success in the case of Lord Lansdowne, makes no attempt to prove that these gentlemen arc bad landlords. Mr. Corben does. He objects, in the first place, to the Timet being cited as an authority upon facts which illustrate tho past management of thoir estates, waiving the question as to the propriety of publishing confidential reports upon tho private affairs of Irish landlords a course which Mr.

Corben appears to expect. I fail altogether to perceive that ho has disposed of the detailed and comprehensive stateuw.Dt in the Times, December 27th, 1887, whose authority he disputes by adducing the cases of five tenant farmers for which he gives no authority at all. I see that he admits the plan of campaign to be illegal, and he is wise." 1 It is in the words of Baron Dowse, 'proclaimed to be legal by everybody oxcept amateur politicians; 'but this illegal' plan of campaign depends for ita efficiency upon the threat or enforcement of boycotting against all who are loath to break the law by entoring its ranks. If it depends apon boycotting, the claims of tho one and the other to be considered moral must stand or fall together. How many definitions have been given to Mr.

Gladstone's, of the' 24th May, 1882, is perhaps the best, but I prefer to quote again from the same learned judge forwhose opinions so many Separatist politicians have re cently erpres3ert the greatest respect. In addressing the Gsiand Jnry of the County Down at the lost spring assizes, Baron Dowse said 1 Ho was told there was no boycotting in tho county. He was really glad to know it, for ho did not know a worse offence against the law of God and man, and it was a cowardly offence to boot, which might be an attraction in the eyes of some Yours faithfully, (Signed) George Windham," THE IMPERIAL MEETING.

Bttblin and Olvmpia Exhibition, 1243a We would again remind our readers of the fact that a grand bazaar in aid of the Bangor Parish Church Extension Fund will bo held in Bangor Castle demesne on the 26th, 27th, and 28th the present month. It may be mentioned that Lord and Lady Dufferin have shown their interest in the undertaking by contributing, among other, gifts, a large assortment of Indian embroidery. The Dean of Down, and his parishioners deserve all the assistance that can be rendered, and we trust that in this and other ways many practical proofs of sympathy will be given. The Right Honourable Viscount Bangor has kindly consented to perform the opening ceremony, and. taking into account tbe attractions with which the bazaar will be invested, it ought to prove an undoubted success, fully realising the object in view.

At the annual meeting of the Armagh Protestant Oi phan Society, held in the Primatial City yesterday, under the presidency of Sir J. Calvert Stronge, in the unavoidable absence of his Grace the Lord Primate of All Ireland, reference was very properly made to the lamented death of the Rfcv. Thomas Ellis. The deep interest which the first secretary of the society evinced in its welfare was proved in many self -sacrificing ways, and his name will not soon be forgotten. We are glad to observe that the work has been carried on during the past year with even increasing efficiency.

A faint idea of the good that is being accomplished may be judged from the fact that in 1 8S7 the num. ber of orphans eared for was 1 35. With respect to matters financial a favourable report is given. The receipts for the period in question more than covered the The report states "This result, it is true, is duo to an exceptional effort made by the promoters of the Lurgan Bazaar. But although the pressure of circumstances lias cost us (for the.

present at least) some subscriptions, and death has made serious gaps in the ranks of our subscribers, it is satisfactory to know that the income from other ordinary Bources haa not diminished in proportion. More offertories were sent in, and more card collections, including Loyal Orange lodges, were made than in 1886, and though the average of the items is low there is an. increase inthe total." We trust that during the present-year the society will receive that full amount of support it so well deserves. CENTRAL CHAMBER AGRICULTURE. OF DEPUTATION TO MB.

GOSCHEN. Loudon, Tuesday. At the House of Commons this evening, the Chancellor of the Exchequer received an important deputation from the Central Chamber of Agriculture, who urged him to press forward the Excise Local Purposes Bill in the interests of the agricultural community. The Earl of Suffolk, Earl Fortescue, Sir R. Paget, Sir E.

Birkbeck, Sir Walter Barttalot, and several other members of both Houses of Parliament were present. Sir W. Barttklot, speaking on behalf of the agricultural committee of the House of Commons, said they were alarmed at the concessions which the Government had made, and were determined to press upon the Chancellor of the Exchequer the un-desirability of making more concessions. Mr. Gos'chjjn, in reply, said that during the last twb months the Government bad not received that support with regard to the bill which they had reason to expect.

They had been bombarded in every direction by the opponents of the tax. who had Held indignation meetings, aud flooded the country with literature. He would, however, sooner'be defeated upon the bill than withdraw it. Besides the promised relief to ratepayers in the bill, an enormous principle was at stake. It would, however, ba extremelv difficult to carry the bill, and every effort would have to be made in sapport of the Government.

A special meeting of the members of the Central Associated Chambers of Agriculture was held yesterday at the Booms of the Society of Arts. Mr. C. W. Gray, M.P., who presided in the absence 'of the president, the Earl of Jersey, said that he had been informed by Mr.

W. H. Smith that the bill for the appointment of a Minister of Agriculture was in a very forward state, and would soon see the light. It was, however, at present undecided whether in the state of public business it would be beet to introduce the bill into the House of Lords or the House of Commons. The business committee suggested that at the next meeting of the council, to be held on the 6th of November, they should consider the iu cessity of levying an import duty upon competing foreign imports equivalent in amount to the imperial and local taxation upon similar home products.

Colonel Harbaii moved "That a circular be addressed to the Chambers of Agriculture in association requesting them to draw the attention of their representatives in Parliament to the necessity of supporting the relief to local rates by the new license duties proposed by her Majesty's Government." The resolution was carried unanimously. A report on tbe amendments made in the Railway and Canal Traffic Bill by the grand committee was read by Major Craig'ie. The document detailing the changes which had been made in the bill by the committee stated that some of the chief complaints of the farmers had been satisfactorily dealt with, and it was hoped that the Chamber would accept the bill. Sir E. Paget moved the adoption of the report.

Mr. Rowlandson seconded the motion, which was carried unanimously. Mr. Williams moved that the Government be requested to push forward the remaining steps of the bill. The resolution was carried.

A vote of thanks closed tbe proceedings. BOTTLED IN Bond. The Castle Grand" Whisky, supplied by Messrs. W. A.
