IRELAND. Mr. Forster had a loner interview at Dublin Castle on Saturday afternoon with MeBsrs. Dickson and Givan, the members for Tyrone and Mooaghan, who waited upon Mr. Forster for tbe purpose of prtsenting the resolutions adopted at a recent meeting of the Ulster Liberal and Teoant-rijjht Associations, held in Belfast, expressing satisfaction with the Land Act, and praying for the release of Dnvitt and the other political prisonprs.

Mr. Forster remarked ihit it was tbe first public business which he had International CouRTBPies, The announcement has been made in America that the American Steamship Company nave inttruoted their Liverpool agents to 6xtend the courtesies of their line to the Hon. Lionel Sackville West, the new British Minister to Washington, for the Transatlantic voyage. This meets with general approval. Our people, being anxious to do something to reciprocate the warmth of British sympathy for tbe President, think it appropriate to propose the bringing over of tbe British Minister in an American steamer.

The Ihiladelphia Public Ledger, expressing this feeling, says, if tha new British Minister aocepts the courtesy thus offered, ha will come by way of Delaware Bay and River, which derive their name from Lord De la Warr, one of the bietorio per-sonages of the new Minister's family. This would be only one of the many little incidents giving interest to the journey. The American Steamship Company's offer of the hospitality of one of theit ships is an act both of personal and international courtesy. Thb Avalanche in Switzerland. The first accounts of tbe nature and extent of the calamity wbioh has befallen the unfortunate village of Elm have been fully confirmed.

For years past the Tachingel Alp, a mountain hard by, composed of loose limestone and elatey rock, has been regarded as a perilous neighbour, but no precautions seem to have been taken to avert the impending peril. After tbe recent heavy rains the mountain shewed alarming symptoms of an approaohing fall. It seemed as if a part of it overhanging the villiage were about to slip down. Great gaps opened here and there, ominous noises were heard, and the people, becoming seriously uneasy, oalled in the local forest master to devise means for averting the impending danger which, nevertheless, no one seems to have considered imminent. Between five and six o'clock on Sunday afternoon, without any further warning, a great mass of earth and rock fell shear on Unterthal, overwhelming the greater part of it.

On this a number of people ran from tha opposite side of the stream to ascertain the extent of the calamity, and carry help to the survivors but bardly had they reached the scene of the disaster when tbey themselves and all that remained of the village were buried under a second 'landslip. Fifty houses were destroyed, and of the 200 persons buried under the ruins 'brief, and without assigning any reasons or makiug any remarks on the disputed gave Mr. Datttbe'Wbole sum claimed. Messrs. Sparkes and Pope, the- Board attorneys, also sent in an account of the arbitrator's expenses, which amounted to 13 Is.

also a charge for Mr. Dart's expenses of 1 Si. and the bill of his advisers, MesBrs. Smith and Symes, for 15 6. 8d.

Thus tho whole coet demanded of the Board was 35 15s. in addition to the charge for extra work, making in the whole 110 10s. Mr. Sparkes, however, having objected to some parts ot the bill of Messrs.

Smith end Symes as not legally chargeable on the Board, they had, he wrote, agreed to ncofpr. 12 in full discharge of their cliim. He also recommended the ard to deduct 1 Oa. from Mr. Pion's charge.

Th Chairman observed that they were all agreed as to the conduct of Mr. Finn in ordering extras without consulting them, and Mr. Cleave afterwards said that the Board had done wrone in which body he remained a member to the end of his career. In 1851 he removed to the College established by this denomination at Hiram, He progressed eo well then that he was soon qualified enter Williams College, one of the oldest educational institutions in New England. Garfield studied law diligently, and was soon Able to pe the necessary examinations.

Hie industry and hearty social manners won him great popularity and esteem. The college life of General Garfield," says President Chad-bourne, was eo perfect, so rounded, so pure, so in accordance with what it ought to be in all respects, that I can add nothing lo it by eulogising him. Everything abomt him was high, and noble, and manly." Garfield remained 8t Williams College as Latin and Greek teacher, and in 1858 married Mies Lucretia Randolph, a farmer's daughter and a pupil of his while at Hiram. In tbe following year when only twenty-eight years of age, Garfield was eleoted State Senator for the counties of Portage and Summit, Ohio. When the war came in 1861, Senator Garfield resigned his scholastic appointments, ond threw himself into the conflict with intense enthusiasm.

As an acknowledgment of his gallant and meritorious service," iu the war, he ceived tbe rank of major-general. While Garfield was in the field he had been eleoted by his native St ite, Ohio, a member of Congress; and it was at the urgent request of the President, baoked by the opinion of several of his fellow officers, that he decided to take his seat in Congress, instead of pursuing further a oareer iu which he had so highly distinguished himself. General Garfield entered the legislature in December, 1863. He was tho youngest man then in Congress; but though young in years, he was mature in experience and in resources, and his talents as a speaker enabled him to do as good service for tha Republican party and the cause of freedom in the Senate as he had done in the field. His speech on the constitutional amendment, abolishing slavery, is described as one of the best he ever delivered.

When in April, 1865, tbe people of New York incensed by the foul murder of Lincoln were about to wreak their vengeance on the office of The World, a solemn voice was heard above the storm. Fellow citizens God reigns, and the Government at Washinzton still lives 1" The speaker was General Garfield. The effect was electric tranquility was restored, and scenes of violence wore averted. It is one of the romances of history that Garfield himself should have been fated to rise to the same eminence, and to fall in the same way. General Garfield earnestly supported the efforts made by Linooln'a successor, President Hayes, to ssoure the complete pacification of the country.

In accepting his own nomination for tbe Presidency in the fall of 1880, he wrote It is certain that the wounds of the war cannot ba comDletelv sealed, and in me uitounoe, tie some uiniu creuuire unuergoes momentary galvanization in a curule chair. The 'Arry element is conspicuous by its absence, and even outsido not a representative of the Roaring Camp is visible. Other singularity, it is very rarely that a visitor makes a second pilgrimage to tho Exhibition the avorage intellectual individual, that has a smattering of the ologies, ought to study some handy-book on electricity before coming, if ho desires to reap the fruits of knowledge. There is a large number of suspicious-looking aged gentlemen in black, blue, or green spectacles, that devour each exhibit in silence they are the great ones chargfd doubtless with the future of electricity. The ladies admire the sewing machines with mag'o pedals, as things fearfully and wonderfully made close at hand is the boaed fluid, made up in so many pounds to suit customers.

The machines for generating the electricity are only noticed by professional folks. Getting upstairs, the salon portion of the show is reached here again pleasuro is lost for tho gonoral public as they comprehend nothing, save flashing lights, bells ringing and alarms striking more or less loud and continuous. It is only necessary to visit the Swau and Edison salons, and contrast their soft golden lights with sepulchral whites olsowhere throughout the building, to decide tbat the latter belong to tho light of other days. Tho Swan candelabra is very effective, but there is a com-bicat'on of the tap and tho bar rooms where it is suspended which does not advantageously harmonise with tho delicate discovery.

Mr.

Friday's Dublin Gazette, onntains a return showing that the number of agrarian outrages committed in Ireland duriog the month of August was 367, includiog four cases of firing with mlioious intent, tirenty-two malicious burnings, 208 throatoning letters, and forty.saven cases of London, September 19, 1881. This has been a dull week, distinctly dull. The Egyptian crisis has gone off.

The Irish crisis has not some on. The Fair Trade movement fizzes aud fizzes, and may at any moment flare up but at present even the Morning Post cannot make it do anything else except fizz. All the Free Traders except Bright seem to be half ashamed of their principles or of the result of those principles, and the Ministers are mute. The City men were talking of a crisis a crash and all sorts of things a few days ajo, und Gordon Bennet threatened us with a tornado all along our coasts to complete the confusion. But you see the result nothing, nothing at all, and if it were not for Sim's new melodrama, Lights of London," I think London just now would be as dull as Dartmoor on a wet day.

Even Gladstone cannot present us with a new Dean or a fresh Canon, and the only bit of gossip in the air is that Whistler is going to sketch Mrs. Langtry in Mrs. Langtry's most characteristio.pose. Yes there is one story afloat. Lady Brook is to take no more horse exerciso for the present.

I do not know what business those sort of trifles are of the public but the public does concern itself more about the domestic lifo of tho Aristocracy than it does about public affairs, except when there is a scare on hand, and this is the last sample of it3 impertinence. Next week you will have the Court Journal or Truth appropriating this bit of gossip, as they appropriata my tips every week without acknowledgment, and we shall be congratulated all round upon the preservation of the Earls of Warwick, as well as upon the renewal of their fortunes without tho slightest perception apparently that the whole thing is an impertinence. You have seen the announcement, of course, of the sale of the Blenheim Library. It looks like an act of sacrilege. But it is, I believe, an act of necessity.

The Duke of Marlborough has been bit in many ways during the past six or seven years, and to-day he has 0,000 acres of his estate in hand. You know what this means. Everything going out and nothing coming in the land to be cultivated in socio way or other, or to be allowed to go out of condition. It is enough to make a man sell the pictures of his ancestors or anything else that will go. These books are practically of no use-not the slightest.

Perhaps Macaulay might have turned them to account, if he had tried to reach the period they illustrate but a Duke bus something elae to do than to pore over books, and just now there is such a sale for old books that if you have them to sell you may sell some of them for their weight in gold. This is the work of the Yankees. They are the great book-buyers cf the piosent day. I do not think they buy them to read but tho fad of the day across the Atlantic is to connect themselves as closely as possible with the old country, to show old editions of English books, to put then) into old oak book-cases, and to point them out us the few heirlooms that our ancestors brought with them from tho old country. It is all humbug, of courso.

They themselves know it to be humbug. it is not a disagrceablo affectation, like talking through your nose, and most of these books of tho Blenheim Library will, I expect, go to America. It is quite possiblo that tho day may come when an English scholar wishing to consult some rare book will have to cross tho Atlantic, aud to read it in a Boston Library or an old farm house in Ohio. The Americans produce no hooks of their own that are worth buyinrj- but they know how to steal and how to buy up English books. I had a curious illustration of this book-buying tendency of the Americans a few days ago.

I wanted to refer to Bedford's book on Hunting. It is a book which two years ago you could have picked up for a couple of r-hillings in any book shop. I had a very international buffet down stairs.

General Garfield's triumph at the Presidential election which took plaoe during the first week of November last year was complete and more signal than ever anticipated.

He assumed his new and onerous duties in the spring of this year and his career has been such during the few months that he has been permitted to fill the offieo of President as to give rise to expectations of great reforms in the system of government. It was on the morning of the 2nd of July laBt he entered the depfit of the Baltimore and Potormec Railway for the purpose of journeying to Locgbranch to visit bU sick wife, when Gniteau sent two treacherous bullets on their deadly mission. From the first the doctors appear to have had little hope, and nothing but an excptionally fine constitution kept him from sinking within a few hours of his receiving the 'wound which has, after neailv three months of suffering, at last proved fatal.

After some discussion as to what ought to have been done originally, Mr. Browne proposed that the Board act on Mr. Sparkes's advice and py the amount awarded, less tbe deductions mentioned by him. ThiB was seconded by Mr. Snow.

Mr. Bollard moved an amendment that, as all extra work must, by a olause in tbe contract, reoeive the assent of the Board before it could be done, that the arbitrator's award be not acted on. The amendment went on to say that it was the duly of Mr. Dart, after the discussions and divisions whioh had previously happened in reference to the building of Yeofurd Schools, to have got the sanction of the Board before making any deviations from tbe original plan, more especially that in reference to extra briokwork in building a wall, whioh involved an additional cost of 29 19. rird whioh, after nil, marred the appearance of the schools.

Mr. Sparkes had also advised them that (hey were not legally liable for extra work without their sanction. Mr. Cleave enid Mefsrs. SpaikeB and Pope id told him that the Board ought to have urged arbitration before.

Habvest Friday last was sot apart by the inhabitants of Alwingtonasa day ef thanksgiving for the harvest, and the result was so satisfactory that in alt probabilty the pruotice will be continued eyiry year until the Great Harvest." Attention had bten called to tho eveot by lha appearance of printed bills, issued a fow days previously by the newly appointed Reotor, announce" that a tm would be held in the afternoon, and service in the Church in the evening. Tbe response to tbo invitation was unanimous, all but the sick, bed-ridden, and infirm were there, filling the house of proyor to overflowing, making it for an hour home and rest of tho hard woikiog people, so that those who had toiled side by sido in the harvest Held might with one accord thank the Father for the fruit of their labour. In the afternoon a pnblio tea was held in the Bold near the Church at 4.30, of which about three hundred parsons partook. The ladies who kindly p'esented tea trays ana presided at them were Lady Ruthveu, presided over by the Governess at Yeo Vale; Mrs. J.

K. Pino-Coffin (Porlledge), Mrs. and Miss Frith (Rnctory), Mrs. Fulford (Dolheridge), Mrs. Wakely (Alwington Town Farm), Mrs.

Betty (Drydon Farm), Mrs. Pennington (Ley Mills). The Honourable Lady Mary Gore occupied a seat at Mrs. J. E.

Pine-Coffin's table. During the afternoon the Churoh bells rang out merry peals. The weathrr was everything that could be desired. The Church was thronged with visitors during the afternoon to witness the decorutions. These were the work of Mrs.

Frith (Rectory), assisted by Mrs. Chippeodall St. Lukes, Manchester), the Misses Coffin (Porlledge), and the Misses Frith (Rectory). Tbe decorations were chiefly confined to the allar, font, and pulpit. The altar and font especially presented a beautiful e.nd artistio appearance, being ornamented with grapes, corn, and a variety of choice flowers.

The communion table had four wax candles l't on it amongst the beautiful flowers, and six wax candles on the ledge of the beautiful stained glass window above the commnainn table, which when lit at the evening service had a good eff-cr. The rails of the communion table were ornamented with a variety of flowers, and in front of them were placed a number of plantB in pots. At 7.30 the Fervice in the Churoh commences. The two ohuroh wardens, Mr. Wale, of Fairy Cross (the Reotor's Churchwarden), and Mr.

Sargeant, of Rotlston (the peoples' Churchwarden), were exceedingly polite in finding seats for the visitors, many of whom came from neighbouring parishes. The Rector (Rev. James Frith, M.A.), conducted the service, and Mrs. Chippendale, of St Luke's, Manchester, presided at the harmonium. The Rev.

John Chippendale, Rector of St. Luke's, Manchester, preached on extemporaneous sermon, and his eloquenoe had a great effect upon the large conereeation. whore Messrs. Gambetta and Ferry are tho Btars. Both arc agreed, it seems, on the necessity of deputies not con.

A National Convention promoted by the Irian Land League was opened in Dublin on Thursday. About 1,200 persons were present. Mr.

Parnell, M.P., presided, and delivered a speeoh, in which he said the Government by passing a Land Act which settled nothing and left the land question to bo periodically re-npeoed, intended to keep tbo cl.ssB in Ireland divided, in order to prevent Ihem uniting together in a demand for the legislative independence ef Inland. Tenant farmra should, ho said, be on their guard against the designs of the Government, which were carefully concealed in tbe Act. The Laad Lt ague demanded that rent should be abolished if, therefore, tenants entered into engagements wilh their landlords coverine more than a year they were violating the principles of the League. Having explained bis views on the question of tenant improvements, Mr. Parne 1 Hdmitted that the Land Act had (-Sooted a great reform in giving the tenant power to borrow monoy from the Government to be spent in the improvement of hii holding.

Telgrams were received from American branches of the League advising the Irish people to hold (he harvest, pay no rent, and rijeot the Land Aot, or, it waB thrateceJ, the American subscriptions would be ditcoDtinued. Resolutions were unanimously adopted condemning the Protection Act, declaring that the LaDd Act would not be acoeptd as a meesaeeof peacB until the suepeots werereleaed, and pledging the Convention to agitate and organise for the self-government of Ireland. A resolulion was piopostd authorizing tbe League to prepare test cases to present to the Land Commission in Older lo discover whether the Land Act would effoct a substantial reduction of rentnls and the discussion upon this had not concluded when the meeting was adjourned. A most, turbulent meeting was held in tbe Mansion House, Dublin, on Wednesday, under tbe presidency of the Lord Mayor, to consider the question of tbe promotion of Irish manufactures and tbe proposed Industrie Exhibition. There was continual opposition between a Land League section and the remainder of the mreling.

Eventually an Exeoutive Committee was appointed, wbioh included a majority of Land Leaguers, among them being Mr. Parnell.

General Garfield on Saturday was seized with ohills, anj becoming gradually weaker, expired shortly before eleven o'clock on Monday night. The Cabinet immediately affer held a Council, and Vioe-President Arthur was informed of the fact, and ad vise i to take the oath as President. The news reached London about twenty-minutes to five o'olock, and epeoial editions were ot onco issued of the leading London morning newspapers, so that those comiog into town wera early apprised of the event, and the book-stills of the various railway stations were eagerly beeeiged. In many streets digs were hoisted half-mast high from offices and public buildings, and the American Embassy and Legation were thronged with English and Ameiicans, desirous of learning all the latest details to hand. Although not unexpected the death of tho President, created a profound eentation throughout the metropolis, and elicited universil feelings of sorrow and regret amongst all classes.

The extraordinary vitality which has been displayed by the President throughout his Iook and painful illness, had led to the hope that he might still survive, and although the telegrams of the last twenty-four hours were more desponding, it was not generally thought the end was sj near. The coroner for Monmouth County will bold an inquest on the body, but bas as yet a ado no arrangements for this purpose. An undertaker and an embalmer have been telegraphed for from New York. Tho body will ba embalmed, and the autopBy will take place this afternoon. Dr.

Curtis, of Washingt has been asked to come here with tbe other surgeons who recently withdrew from attending the deoaased, to be present when tbe autopsy is made. The arrangements for the funeral will be made in all respects in accordance with the wishes of Mrs. Garfield. Nothing has as yet bees decided upon, but it is expected tbat a special train will leave to-day (Wednesday) for Washington, where the remains will lie in Btata in the Rotunda of tho Capitol during Thursday and Fridoy. On Friday evening it is expected tbat tbe body will be conveyed to Cleveland, where it will lie in state during Sunday.

The funeral will probably take place on Monday next, the place of interment being Lake View Cemetery at Cleveland, in accordance with the President's wish, frequently expressed during his lifetime. The announcement of General Garfield's death has caused a very general feeling: of sorrow throughout England. The news was immediatslj telegraphed to the Queen, the Prince of Wales, and the Premier. An official telegram sent off at fifty minutes before the President died, eaid be was renting quietly, having passed the eveninrr nice copy ot it, bound in old reen morocco butaytar or two ago an American visitor, looking through my books, expresseJ such an admiration of the book that I asked him to accept it. He was all gratitude for it, and I thought no more of the book or of the man.

I had done the civil thing with him, and I was pleased to do him a kindness at such a cheap rate. You know the book is of no more practical use to-day than a book on the Ptolemaic philosophy. It is out of date. But when, happening to write on a subject that I wished to illustrate from Beckford, I tried to replace my book, I found at once why my American friend had been so delighted with his prize. It was one of the books that the Americans are buying up now everywhere.

Two years ago you could pick it up anywhere for an old song. It is now one of tho dtarest books of tho kind in the catalogues of the Booksellers. You can hardly find it at all, and if you find it you must pny through the nose for it. It is a book that is doubly valuable to our American kinsmen. It is a proof at once that your ancestors were old English sportsmen, and that they were patrons of Letters.

I have lost my book, with its green morocco, with my grandfather's book-plate in it, and I have to go to a Library to consult it but I have made an eternal friend of that Yankee, supplied him with a fresh link in his English pedigree. I don't mind but if this sort of thing goes on we shall have no old books left in this country. The last boob that is run upsnnow is -what do you think Bolingbroke All tho talk to day is of the Trades Union Congress and its treatment of tho men who had the audacity to attend the Fair Trade Conference. It is a thoroughly discreditable transaction. It is all nonsense of the Trades Unionists to pretend that their indignation is due to the suspicion that the Fair Traders received 15s.

a day for attending the Conference at the Westminster Palace Hotel. It really due to the fact that the men have had courage to declare for a. policy of Proteotion in the place of Free Trade, and I do not know anything that is more calculated to discredit Free Trade than this expulsion. I don't know and I don't cara whether the Free Traders received log. or 50s.

The men themselves declare that between, Marchioness, your beautiful eyes," and your beautiful eyes, Marchioness." Then Ferry, like Paddy, maintains that "one man is as good as another and'a great deal hotter." To the credit of the nation.it smiles with profound indifference on the political wire pulling. There has been no display of gush whatever about the resumption of the Commercial Treaty negotiations. Success depends on friend John boing very blunt in maintaining what was promised him, and to put his foot down on any unbusiness-like way of working.

M. Lciin Chatteau, who was delegated by the late Menier, the Chocolate manufacturer, to negotiate a Commercial Trea'y between Unelo Sam and Franco, but failel, has taken to stump his country in favour of American pork ho maintains, that pending the arrival of Henry the Fourth's Millennium, when every Frenchman would have a fowl in bis pot on Sundays, a nice 21b. cut of Chicago or St. Louis gammon on a cushion of greens, might well take the place of the coming bird. The trees along tho Boulevards have been in ill health this year, several have even sickened to death.

But what the majority of the Trades Unionists object to apparently is that Conservatives should hire them. There is not a pin to choose between any of these men. Peters is quite as good as Broad-hurst, and Coulson is no better than Hunt. It is a case of Arcades ambo all round. But if men in joining a Trades Union are to bind themselves to think and talk alike as well as to work alike, the sooner the whole cheat is exposed the better.

The Morning Post has spoken out upon this point with deoision and frankness, and I am sorry that two or three other newspapers did not speak out with equal frankness. The Times did itself no credit by endorsing the verdict of the majority, and the Standard still less. This was no occasion when the Standard might have proved its impartiality and its perfect independence by taking the side of freedom, and it goes the other way. The Standard, I know, may plead that it is on the line with the Times, and that apparently is tho rule that the Standard is now chalking out for itself to be 'an Independent Newspaper, a rival of the Times in point of intelligence, caniour, and caprice, and before five years are over you will find that will be the casa with all the chief London newspapers. They will be neither Liberal nor Tory.

They will take their own course. Tho Daily Telegraph ratted under Lord Beacons-field's Administration. The Standard rats under Mr. Gladstone's. The Daily News is the only distinctly Liberal journal in London now, of the morning ones, I mean, and you can see every now and then a tendency, even with tho Daily News, to kick over the traces.

The Convention decreed, that the bones of Moliere, Corneille, and La Fontaine, were to be ground into bone dust not for agricultural purposes like thoso of latter day heroes, but to bo mixed with plnstio matters, moulded into vases, and the latter presented to Museums.

Wben Tibia, Vertebra, had been crushed, the dust that was doatcd upon would not mould. Tho Chemist Darcet had a bit of Molioris jaw bone unused, so he kept it as an object d'art. Tho Vente de Tata is a three act comedy by Messrs. Wolff and Hennequin. Mile.

This is clearly the next of Parnell's demands. All tho Kilmainham prisoners to be released the Land Act to be voted a nullity unless the Land Court takes as its standard of a fair rent tho value of the land when the wolf prowled in the forests of Ireland and the elk browsed in its pastures, and a fresh agitation against Landlordism You know what that means another Recess like the last the Ministers talking in tall tones of the majeaty of the Law, and doing nothing the Irish refusing to pay rent Boycotting everyone who does, houghing cattle, tumbling landlords, and making the whole country a Pandemonium.

It is a pleasant prospect for October and November, and I shall be surprised if, when things come to a head, the Ministers do not either refuse to lift their fingers against a constitutional agitation which must be met with fresh concessions or bust up. Knox Little's appointment to the Canonry of Worcester has produced a storm in a tea-cup in religious circles, and I am not surprised. There is not a greater Ritualist in the British Isles, and Worcester ib one of the head-quarters of the Evangelioals. I am not surprised at the appointment. It is only what we might have expected from Gladstone.

I do not even object to it. The roan has a perfeot right to his opinions, and if he conforms to the Law of the Ohuroh well and good. That is the test. But to lock up one man in Lancaster Gaol because, holding Mr. Knox Little's opinions, ho holds them stoutly, and to put Mr.

Knox Little into a Canon's stall, with a cool 1,000 a year, because he knows how to compromise with his conscience upon vital points of dootrine and ritual, is a conundrum which no man could have solved but Glad-atone. Knox Little will stir np the sleepy old see of Worcester for he is what they call a rousing preacher, a man who will feoep people awake by banging the pulpit if he cannot keep them awake with his eloquenoe.

It appears that Prevot wae madly jealous of his wife, and imagined that bis mother-in-law and an old man named Ribes were cognisant of her infidelity. Having made his three affrighted victims kneel down and ask forgiveness, he savagely attacked them with the fore iron of a plough. His three children were nretent. out tne evidence was inconclusive as to wnetber it was a salmon or conger.
