SOLVING THE LABOR PHOnLF.M. 4 I'lnn Proponed nt the Clorclnml Con vention ol'tlie Kulglit or Labor. The de1cj te Irom I'eorin, 111., read in tho Knights ot Labor convention nt Cleveland u lengthy address by Lawrence Ilnrincn, a lawyer of that city, entitled "The Labor Problem, its Isolations to Inter-stnto Com tncrce; a Plan Suggested for its Solution." The address says: The fact o! the stoppage of commerce be tween tho states within tho paRt two months or more, in consequence of differ ences between the enrrier and the working men in his service; the fact of 200,000 men strikinc between April 24 and May 14, 1S80, for shorter hours, besides 50,000 more striking whose demnmis were not shorter hour: the fact that for tho whole week ending May 1, 250,000 men were oue on n strike, shows to every thoughtful man that there is something radically wrong in our industrial system; that the working men have como to a realization of thoso wrongs so far as they nffect them, and that a speedy remedy otudit to bo found in legis lation for tho removnl. as far ns possible, of the cnuses of discontent, by doing full and impartial justice to all interests con cerned. When we consider that this condition of affairs entailed a direct loss of the wages of 250,000 men in threo weeks of about :t,000,O00, and of 52,500, 000 to their employer in tlint time by the interruption of busbicss and S 1,000,000 in losses upon deferred or cancelled contracts; of $20,400,000 upon building emit. nets alone; to say nothing of far greater indi rect losses consequent upon tho feeling of uncertainty and insecurely throughout tho nation, we are appalled at tho magnitude ot tho total Iorm consequent upon strikes during the last threo months. Tho address continues that these have been many hundred millions of dollars, and while most of the strikes arc ended tho grievances aro not removed. "Working men," it proceeds, "if you liavo a reasona ble, equitable and just plan for a remedy of these evils, wo assuro you that will urge upon that part of the subject that comes without the cognizance of the united States that tho relations between tho om ploycr and employe engaged in interstate eommorco may bo determined by an act of congress, and that a fair and just rate of wtii:es l)o hxeil ly a national trihunni. Mr. Harmon says it is nppnrcut to him that if tho labor question relating to that of interstate commerce can bo solved by tho action of tho government it would be tho beginning ot tho solution of tho labor problems. 7K0.MIM1 MUX AX1) WOMEN.

THE BEAUTIFUL BRIDE-ELECT. TlioYomiK Lady Who J list Noiv Occu- pit-a I'll bile Attention. Mi's Frances Kulsom or Uullnlo, ttie young lady who of all the American ladis in the world, just now occupies the greatest t-hare of public attention, writes Lucy Hooper from Paris, Is verv young and very, very charming. I do not think that any of the portraits pub lished bv her, whether in words or by pencil, at nil do her justice. She Is tall and slender, with a complexion whose roseate paleness tells of perfect health more accurately than a more vivid bloom might do. Her features are tine, the brow broad and well formed, and shaded by thick, loose waves of chestnut hair. The nose Is aquiline, the mouth small, with full red lips, disclosing two rows of pearly teeth, white, transpaient and even. Her eyes are lovely, of a dark transparent sapphire blue that looks almost black under the shadow- of tho thick, long eyelashes. A great attraction to tho face is the delicate irch of the evebrows, which are as dark and perfectly defined as though drawn In India ink. Altogether Miss Kolsom's coun tenance is lemarkiible for Its blending of femi nine sweetness with Intellectual charm. There are elements in it of nohilitv and intelligence that will mako it most striking when girlish delicacy gives place to womanly strength and full development. Her manners are exquisite ly natural and winning, and her tact unerring. If, as is currently repoited. this fair girl Is to become at no distant date the lady of the White house she will 1111 the position to perfec tion, atid th.tt despite tho fact that she will bo the youngest lady that has ever presided there. She will be a worthy encceskor to tho last young hostess of the White house, the beau tiful mid qutenly Harriet Lain1, whose loveli ness and dignity lent such a charm In the old days before the war to tho presidential entcrtu'ltmicuH in Washington and to the hours of the presidential vacations at Uedford Springs In IYuii-n lvania.

Fully 10,000 friends of home rule in Ire land were present at a meeting held in Chi rago on tho 25th in bclinlt of that cause. Gov. Oglesby was chosen chairman of tiie meeting, nnd 1100 vico presidents were named, among whom were judges, congress men nnd ministers ot all denominations. Tho decorations were Americnn, and Irish favors blended. The governor was greeted with enthusiasm, and spoke as follows: Said he: Fellow citizens, I ncccpt with becoming ditlidcnce, I trust, tho unusual honor conferred upon mo of presiding over this vast nsNOinbhige ot citizens ot Chicago, under tho auspices of the Irish National league. I do not know how It is that dffer ences ot so serious and cardinal a naturo seem to separate the Celtic anil Saxon races Irom the cordial fellowship aud associa tions which the Saxon and Celtic citizens of tho United Stntes have established ns an indisputable fact, here where they abido together in perfect harmony, sympathy and brotherhood. If there bo differ enees of race of suilicient importance, to justify feelings of antagonism, it would lio among tho first impulses of my heart to concentrate my jest efforts to bring about in t ho Ifritish isles the cordial sympathy that exists among the people of different races in our own country. Who in the United States would not contribute energetically in any course, in nnv direc tion, tliat would bring about on tho con tinent of Europe, or especially in tho lltit- ish isles, a more cordial state of feeling be tween the races? The United States is at peace with tho woild. We have no substantial quarrel with any country; therefore, as citizens of this state, nnd of this republic, it is fitting that we should wish for the sumo blessings to be extended to our brothers beyond tho sea. 1 am proud to otllciate in the honor- nule position to w lucli you have assigned me, nnd, if by this act of mine, good can come to tho people of Groat llritaiu and Ireland, it will indeed bo an added honor and a sotirco of gratitude" Tho governor concluded by rending brief address advocating homo rule for Ire land as practical and advisableand warmly eulogising Gladstone nnd l'uinell. The follow ing message was unanimously approved, and ordered to bo sent to Mr. Gladstone: To 1'arnell, House of Commons, London : Chicago citizens, in innss meeting assem bled, request mo to express to Mr. Glad slouo their appreciation ot tho hemcos rendered by him to liberty and humanity by the introduction of his bill to restore legislative independence to Ireland, ids ability to overcome prejudice and to view fairly and broadly the present unnatural relations of the English nnd Irish people. His manifest desire to undo tho wrongs and remove tho dissensions which have caused the neighboring islands to livo in hatred and warfare, do honor, not only to his head ami his heart, but also to tho nation anil age ol which ho is so conspicuous a louder. They also desiro mo to express their ad miration of yourself and your associates lor your tireless ellorts in behull ol your country s right to a national parliament. It is duo to truth nnd to history to ac knowledge that it was thoso patriotic and lu illiant efforts that made Mr. Gladstone's action possible nnd showed the liberal par ty of Hug and the necessity of undoing tlio wrong mlliuted upon Ireland when sho was reduced to provincial vassalage.

Another squad of police will do duty on tho streets adjacent to tho whito house grounds, and perfect order will bo maintained. It is ex pected that tho usual thousands of people, men, women aud children, will hung around in the streets during tho afternoon, even ing and night in eager expectation of seeing something or somebody unusual. This crowd will bo amply provided for. it is amusing to hear tho ditilomats from all parts of the world now in Wash ington talk o! tho approaching marringe. There aro a great many tilings connected with the coining event which thev cannot understand. A lot of them got together and discussed the question to-day. They feel that they should do somothing to cole- liratetho event, but sinco nono of them havo invitations to bo present, they fear to movo lest thoy ollenil his excolleney. Tho diplomatics cannot understand why tho engagement was kept such a profound se cret, nor why tho announcement cnino so near to tho dato of tho wedding day. Then, the lirulo coming to tho groom to got mar ried puzzles them beyond measure. They understand that in America tho groom usually goes after tho bride, and they aro at a loss to understand tho presid -tit's movements. Indeed, tho diplomatics aro worried. They aro afraid of committing somo n wiui impropriety, and yet thoy don't know what to do, to do tho proper tiling, Ono tiling which perplexes them most is whether they shall congratulate Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland, and how. They iiiil to see why tho president is not publicly married, and why they are not nsked to assist. A private wedding at homo, or any other place, they say, they could understand. If tho president had arranged for his marria.o at liiilfulo they would havo comprehended it. but to have his bride brought to him alter the fashion of the effete inonurchs of tho old world is lioyond their power of intor- i. relation. They sny it is not American. and it is ludicrous to hear their comments upon it. The diplomatics are also puzzled as to whother they should pros nt gifts to tho president and his bride, nnd so tar they have been unable to ascertain if it will be proper, or whether tho giits if sent, will b received. It is customary to mako royal gin in nearly every country in tho ivnrld when a crowned head takes to him self a wife, but so many unusual things h.ivo already attached to this event that they cannot reach ft conclusion. So they remain in menial misery, trusting that they will bo excused ou the ground ol igno rance. Tho ministers would like to send Mrs. Cleveland some token of respect, but tin y cannot get an answer its to the ro priety of it.

The cznrof Russia hnsoffered Dr. Schwen inger, Prince liismarck's physician, $0,000 to reduce him to a healthy weight. The sultan ot Turkey may rank with the musical inoiiarchs ot the uge. He has re cently composed several orchestral works. Queen Victoria has ordered the royal box put in preparation for occupancy dur ing the forthcoming operatic season in Loudon. Tho Princess Reatrico looks very happy, far happier than llattenberg does when Mother-in-Law Victoria commands him to wear Scotch petticoats. King Kalnkaua is an activo member ot tho Honolulu lire department. He runs to fires with the engine, and is an expert oper ator of tho pump handle. It Is stated on pretty good authority that the Princess of Wales is a very clevor milliner, nnd gives tho finishing touches to nil her bonnets nnd lints. The Countess de Paris will give as a wed ding present for her daughter a prayer book bound in white morrocco. with liii- ing of blue inorrocco, with gold Hour delys. The Prince ot Wales, who is overwhelmed with debts, is yet able to sell his royal mother's land which sho wants to add to her Halmoral estate, and for which tho queen pays Wales $125,000. A good deal of Queen Victoria's time must bo spent in inatcli-making. According to theGermaii newspapers she is now desirous of bringing about a marriage between the Grand Duke ot Hesse and tho Duchess of Albany. Tho queen proposes to mako Wales' eld est sonthedukoof Kent, Victoria's father's title, which will give him a seat in the house of lords, and the people will bo asked to give him an annuity of $o0,000 for so sitting, St. Louis Republican: Tho czar of all Russia is growing so fat that lie asks His marek to lend him his physician. In tho early days of Machiavellian diplomacy this would have been regarded as a very danger ous experiment to make. The Duchess d'Uzes and tho empress of Austria, heretofore famous as horse riders, have their noses quite put out of joint by the sultan of Zanzibar's sister, who has been used to ride out to shoot lions, and as an equestrienne excels any feminine circus rider ever seen in Paris. Awful Discovery. Kansas City, Mo., May 23. The Times says: Last night nt !) o'clock a colored wo man named Annie Miller cut and seriously wounded a respectable German woman named Agnes Ward. The Miller woman Is one of the most hardened characters in tho city. She lives nt No. 00 State Line street, near Ninth, a very tough locality. Mrs. Ward lives next door, at No. SS. Some words came up between her and her colored neighbor, which resulted in the neeress drawing a knife, which she plunged In the side of the white woman. Mrs. Ward fell to the ground, when tho Infuriated negiess caught Her hy the hair and attempted to scalp her. She stuck the knifo In near the eve and almost ran a circuit of the head Flourishing the bloody weapon she inn to her own house ami loclieu herseit in a room Sergeant McGowan and Olliccr Todlntnter went there to arrest her, and by the aid of a small boy whom they put over the transom thev eilectcd an entiauce Into the house. When the woman was arrested It was found that she had in her house three oung white girls, the oldest IS years of age, the noxtnliout 15, and the youngest barely lit. These white girls were kept bv her for infamous purposes. and It Is claimed that the youngest of them Is so nearly a mere clillil that the ollenscs com mitted against her aie of the most revolting character. Tho charge of cutting with Intent to kill was written ngalnst her name nt tho Second precinct police station, nnd she will probably oe cnaigeu with iiaiuoiing minors lor the pur txjfe of prostitution.

THE LITTLE CANDLE MAKEH. Charles K. Whitney in New Orleans Times Democrat. I. If ono follows tlio stream ot early worshipers that pours out of tho old St. Louis Cathedral after low mass, ho will notice that tho greater nuinher pass down tho alley on the north side of tho odilieoanddistributothoniselvos tip and down the Hue Uoyal. Just be low this, Eue St. Anno crosses tho more busy thoroughfare, and is but a stone's throw from tho cathedral. Tho immediato neigdborhood there abouts has an air of sanctity and ec clesiastical quiet about it that is due, perhaps, to tho close proximity of tho reat parish church. Show windows aro brilliant with gilt crucifixes, altar candlesticks, communion wreaths and ornato rosaries; and as temptations to tho oyo of youthful lovers, littlo blue velvet prayer-books look coyly out from hiding-places oti their shelves, inviting the devout gallant to mako tlio heart of his belle flutter by such a present. Artificial flowers in great clusters bloom in handsome Sevres vases, and near them tasty biscuit vessels for holy water fill up tliognrni ture of the store windows. Hero one could, in fact, furnish nil the altar paraphernalia for either a grand cathedral or modest private chapel, nnd when high mass is sung in tho old building so close at hand, it is not difficult to imagine each window an altar nnd unseen acolytes swinging their incense-holders as tho rich organ tones fill the littlo side streets. Around tho corner from Royal street, on St. Anne, for many years stood a one-story house fronting im mediately on the street. Tho years had evidently some ill-will toward it, for tho weather bonrds seemed more dilapidated, the chimney more totter ing, and tho green mossy herbage on tho roof nioro grasping m its clutches on tlio shingle roof than any there abouts. Just before tho lire of a few years ago it was what would bo called a "tumble-down aflair," but in lSul it had a somewhat more presentable appearance. This was perhaps duo to tho neatness and tasto of tlmt dapper littlo old maid, .Mile. Pierrette, who occupied the premises, rather than to its architectural qualities. Every spring she had tlio outside regularly whito-washed, and tho heavy shutters given a glossy green that quito renew ed tho youth of the old building. Eiko tho larger stores around tho corner, her front room had caught tho ecclesi astical spirit, and in two large, upright glass case hung in long rows, tho re sults of the energetic maiden's handi work. Not oven a modest sign or other no tico gave testimony to tho world of tho articles to be found on sale within, but all tho Creole population know the plnco. Every year, just beforo the timo when tho littlo ones take their .first communion, tho store would bo crowded with children, se lecting their tall wax candles for tho interesting ceremony. Mile. Pierotto commenced tho manufacture of altar candles, so it was reported, away back in tho days of Gen. Jackson. In fact somo of tho envious shopkeepers over tho way intimated that sho liad nindo tho wax lights for tho mnrriago of somo of the old Spanish ludalgoes when they occupied Louisiana, but these sarcastic remarks wero due, per haps, to jealousy of tho littlo lnuy's thriving trade. No matter how long ago it was when sho commenced tlio business, it is nevertheless true that for delicacy of tapor, graco of ornamentation, nnd purity of wax, there was no commun ion candles in Now Orleano that could compare with hers. Even tho tinsel paper with which sho adorned them had n chic about it no ono olso could copy, nnd tho tall ones, measuring nearly five foot, wero marvels of tho candle maker's art. It was a source of much satisfaction to her, on great church occasions, to stand far back in tho cathedral, near tho vestibule, and looking over tlio heads of tho kneeling congregation, gazo with prido on tho hundreds of soft lights, all from her hand, that shed their mellow radiance on altar and picture. She hud nover been known to miss a muss, not oven dur ing tho cholera, timo of 1817, and hor reputation ns u dovoteo was not less than her ronown us a candlo maker. Except in tho shop sho wasiieven seen olsowiiero than in tho cathedral, nnd tho sweet faced Madonna lookingdown from tho pow could hardly ho said to be oftoncr seen than Mile, Pierrette. ii. Way hack in tho twenties a young lady of romarkahlo beauty produced quito a stir in Now Orleans society by lior varied accomplishmentM and rare con vei national powers. With un atied fathor she arrived from tho West In dies, noil soon afterward presided over a liandRomo establishment in tho French quarter of tlio city, pur chased hy hor indulgent parent at the sale of an estate. Hor artistic taste was naid to lie exquisite, and from tlio imitation of natural (lowers in wax to tho execution of an oil paint ing, sho excelled all amateurs ovur seen liuro before. Modunt and turns Humming, she heard tho pmieott that were Hiiowitrod tiiion nur lit an tin- effected, charming iiiuiinur, and even her rivals could nothutadniirohergirl ish graco nnd naive frankness. It was not long before she had many ad mirers at her feet, for her reputation for wealth was most enticing to thoso seeking a fortune in marringo. Conspicuous in his nttentions wns a young gentleman of pleasing address and promising ability, whoso nanio just then was in everybody's mouth. At a celebration of Iho anniversary of the battle of New Orleans he had delivered an oration that had at tracted general attention and the press of tho city was loud in praises of its exquisite sentiments and lofty rhetoric. Raoul Chappelles was a law student in thoollicoot an old attorney, and, like many others, was quito poor. A gambling father had left him with out a sou of his mother's estate, and at the a?o of nineteen ho had com menced the study of the law, subsist ing on what he could mako by com mercial collections. His family connections gave him the entree into good society, and, poor as ho was, everybody saw a brilliant future before him. Tlio beautiful 'ot Indian girl and the law student met frequently, and it was easy to see that theyoung man had made a deep impression. Tho father of the girl at first pretended not to notice the advances of Uuoul, but as month after month passed and the uequuintunro between them rip ened into an intimacy, ho startled tho daughter one morning by the an nouncement that ho woulil admit IJnoul no more to his house. Tho fiery, impetuous temper of tho girl was aroused at this, and for some days sho would not leave her room or hold communication with her father. Surreptitiously she conveyed billets doux to Unoul and mutual lovo was acknowledged. There were stormy scenes in that big house on Ksplanado street. An old negreps was placed on guard over tho girl. Her meals wore sent to her room and her only promenade was in tho back garden of afternoons. Loye latmhs at locks, and a regular correspondence wns kept up between tho lovers through tlft hair-dresser that came every day to assist the ypung lady in her toilet. One morning in May till this ended. A family carriage containing an old gentleman and his daughter stopped near tho wharf occupied by West In dian schooners and both alighted. A number of trunks were carried on board tho Ties Hermanos, and that Hoot littlo vessel was soon on its way down tho river bound for Porto Rico. Two months subsequent a young gen tleman, well recommended, entered the college at (irund Coteau to study for the priest hood, and by a coincidence society tit the same tiineniisscd Raoul Chappelles. in. With tho budding of trees and tho first warm breezes Irom tho south, Lent of 18(50 was ushered in, and all good Catholics crowded the cathedral to hear tho gifted father who had just taken charge. Tho report of his elo quence had been such that it was said another Massillon had como to earth. His fervent sermons produced quito a religious excitement wherever ho went, and New Orleans was not slow to pay him homage. His success hero was not less than elsewhere, and never be foro had such congregations filled the old edifice. Uenovolent, ever attentive to tho wants of his Hock, and leading tho life almost of a saint, ho so endeared him self that his parishoners looked upon him not only as a religious adviser, but warm friend. Tho success of his first sermon was not abated by the many that followed, and two years after ho had taken charge his popular ity was unbounded. It was about this time that a lady in reduced circumstances opened a lit tlo store on St. Anno street, and for awhile supported herself by tho sale of artificial llowors and in giving music, lessons. It was reported thatsliohad relinquished nil right, to a lurgo legacy conditioned that she should nover vis it Louisiana, and had como to Now Orleans on account of former ploasant associations. Thoro w,oro many ru mors afloat as to tho reason of this sacrifice, but tho littlo lady ovaded all questions, and tho gossipers woro left to surmise. Sho attended church reg ularly, never failing to bo thero when tho good fathor preached, but always left just beforo service was over. This hnd been noticed by many. Onco she met the father in tho alloy below tho cathedral almost faco to face. Sho hastily drew hor veil down nnd hurried by him, while tho dignified pore walked on entirely un conscious of tho littlo woman's efforts to hide her fnco. Yearn pnssod, nnd thotrndo in nltnr cnndleshnd become ono of tho recog nized industries of that section of tlio city. Of morningstho neatly-dressed proprietress of tho establishment could bo seen deftly at work ornament ing thoso tall ones of wax, putting on heron lenf nnd thoro a bit of silvered paper until thoy grow into gorgeous affairs. One evening thoBhuttors of thofront window, wherein wore exposed num bers of these wax candles, were put up earlier than usual. It was remarked that an old negro woman performed this labor, and not tho little Mile. Pier rette. Then it wns reported that tho littlo lady with tho whito cup and fichus across tho way was very sick. As it grow durker tho wind begun to blow, howling under the eaves, whistling through tho railings of Jackson square and moaning up among tho bells in tho cathedral spire. At first it caught up tho loose hits of waste paper lying around French Market, until tho nir wna filled with flocks of wingless papor birds.

A Spiritual Medium Hxposctl. , From a Manchester (N. II.) Letter. A sensational exposure of an alleged spiritualistic medium, while in tho midst of a materialization seanco took place recently at the residenco o U. li. Aniniidon. The medium was Mrs. Ressio Huston, of -1S8 Trcmont street, Roston, who had made threo previous trips to Manchester nnd gulled tho public into believing that sho possessed the requisite powers of calling up the spirit forms of thoso who hnd passed on into tho great un known. Her seances have been well patronized, but all who attended hnd not been her dupes, as several had ox pressed themselves that sho was a fraud. Tho last Kcnncowus tho eighth given by tho woman in Manchester, and her company on this last occasion in cluded somo of tho best known resi dents. Some livo or six forms had ap peared, and among tho number tho daughter of ono gentlemen, who j thought ho recognized his dead girl and exchanged kisses with her. Finally j a pretended spirit came, to a Gentle man who inado up tho party, and tlio latter acting in accordance with a preconceived plan, seized tho out- siretcneii nanu and tnrew ins arms around her body nnd boro her to the floor. Tho form wns no other than that of Mrs. Huston, who screamed, and hor husband, who always accom panies her, pulled out a billy and pro ceeded to tipply it with vigor upon tho bond of tho captor. In tho mean time tho gas hud been lighted by thoso who wero parties to tho plan, nnd Mr. Huston wns then seized nnd tho billy tuken away from him. Tho lighting of the gas revealed Mrs. Huston stretched upon tho carpet whero sho had been held by the gentleman who had tho norvo to trap her, dressed in a sleeveless whitogarinentand wearing a white vail over her head. Tho ex posure was complete and overwhelm ing, chalk and other materials used in tho deceit practiced being discovered. Tlio woman wus allowed to return to tho cabinet, whore sho clothed herself in her evening dress. Tho monoypald by tho company was rot timed, but as t he chandelier had been broken in tho lively scenes which had been enactetl when tho coup do graco took place.tho purse was presented to Mr. Aniniidon, with instruction to apply it toward tlio purchaso of another chandelier. Mr. Aniniidon informed tho Hustons that his roof could not sholter frauds another night, us ho did not counte nance anything of tho kiiul.undnt once, showed them to tho depot, whero it is supposed they took a southward bound freight train at an early hour in tho morning. Tho veil taken from Mrs, Huston's head was divided up among tho party ns mementoes of tho occasion. The gentleman who led in exposure wns John Jlyron Huso, of Eust .Manchester, and he bus tho billy which wus wrenched from Mr. Huston. Mr. Parnell'.s Mother. New York Letter in CTiicngo Nows. You huvo perhaps hoard tho con tradictory tales told of old Mrs Par-, noil's condition. Well, it is just as bad ns it is represented. Mrs. Purnoll is a lonely old lady, without tho slight est regard for what wo call comfort. Moreover, thero is a strain of boho miauism in tho family, excepting Charles Stewart Parnoll, which bo trays itself in wearing their hnir down their bucks, cnrryiim Gampy old um brellas around, nnd a certain disre gard of appearances that looks like discomfort to American eyes. Mrs. Parnoll does live on tho fourth Iloor. of a tenement-house on Hudson street, which is a vory poor street indeed; she is poor and m want of money; and sho is apparently un comfortable and is certainly failing fast. Rut Mrs. Parnoll is al ways nioro or less in thosoconditions. Sho has no idea of tho vnltio of money and has mnde ducks and drakes of a hundsomo fortune; but she never was what wo would call comfortable oven when she had money. Tho people with whom sho is staying aro plain, but thoy aro honest and do kindly by hor. To Mrs. Parnell's lively imagina tion, however, they aro princes and princesses, the tenement isa cozy flat, and us for want of money, she always was poor, even when sho wns rich. So, to Mrs. Parnell's peculiar notions of what constitute comfort and inde pendence may bo ascribed tho differ ence between her views and other peo ple's. You and I would say that site was in penury, but Mrs. Purnell JivqH ou tho shamrock and Tarn's harp and the vale of Avocu, and lesemblus Lord Edward Fitzgerald to thatdtrce that; whether she has any stocking er not is a comparative trifle,
