!A BOSTON1AN IN HUSBAND.
"Mr. A. KJinnun'a Iniprntnloni of Iho Country
nd IU Peopl.
Mr. A. Sliuninn, well known as one
of our loading morclmntsin tho cloth
.ing business, has spent iho summer
-abroad. Durimr his trin ho nmdo nn
eapccial Btudy of Irish nmttcrs, and
tho result of his observation was huo
ly printed In tho Pilot. IHs views nro
of interest and value. Ho said: "Iro
land, as viowod from an American
standpoint, is a perfect revelation;
instead of finding a poor looking
country, it nnprcsHcd us as marvelous
ly beautiful. Ono cannot help having
a. Tavoniblo opinion of tho county as
ho enters Queenstown harbor with its
nreen shoies. a harbor that is Bhcltor
Ctl on all but tho western side, and is
roomy enough for thocombined navies
of tho world to ride at anchor in."
"Do tho people appear to bo poor?"
"Ah wo spent our time principally in
tho southern part of Irolaud, wo can
only speak of that section, and whilo
-we found, in an evening stroll through
Cork, hero and thoro people applying
Jor charity, and also in passing
through tho Gap of Duiiloo, wo wore
besieged by hundreds of beggars (and
lioro it seems to bo moro professional
than from actual necessity), yet, on
tho whole, the masses did not appear
to us in that extremity of poverty wu
hud been led to suppose. In our con--vcrsation
with tho pooplo conerally,
about the condition of tho inhabi
tants, wo were told thoro was a gieat
dual of poverty and sulToring through
tin country, and when wo asked why,
tho reply was: 'Wo don't own tho
lands; tholandlords advance tho rents
A3 fast as we make improvements
and when unable to mako it profit
nblo at tho advanced prices, or pay
Iho required rent, wo nro ovictod from
tho farms, so that the averago farmer
becomes disheartened, and rather than
work and mako improvements for
flomo ono olse, becomes an idlor and
consequent sufferer. ' Wo were impress
ed with this fact as, traveling through
tho country, wo saw vnst tracts of
-country unoccupied, with horo and
there a castle, thotmh many miles
apart. On visiting Niamey Castle,
About six miles out ol Cork, tho rest
donco of tho owner, Sir Georgo St.
John Colthurst, wns pointed out to
us and vrc were told that it cost iM7,
OOO, or about $2:10,000, to build, and
Jmd not been occupied forthrco years,
tho proprietor living in Paris during
that time; and tho great estato is ly
ing idlo and uncultivated, oxcept in
tho immediate grounds about tho
Lous oared for by a hired farmer.
"On our rido to Hlarnoy in an Irish
jaunting car with its Boats facing out
ward, wo found thatched roof cottagos
in nbundanc, whoso exteriors and
surroundings nppeared extremely
dean. Thoy looked as if all was now
ly whitewashed, and as if a friendly
-rivalry uxisted among neighbors as to
who should have tho neatest and
whitest dwelling."
"Was there any out orprlso or trade?"
"In tho largo cities that wo visited,
especially Dublin, Cork and Belfast,
thoro was a general air of thrift and
Mitarnriso, a well dressed nnd healthy
population, fine retail stores, well dis
played wares, with a dash of hhrowd
nous on tho part of tho attendants
that continued tho impression that
Irish salesmen are considered among
tho best if not tho best in tho United
Kingdom."
"1 low did tho people's spirit striko
you?"
"Wo found tho pooplo vory hopolul
and imbued with the ono idea upper
most in their minds, nnd that is it
thoy could have homo rule, their own
Kovormnent, and a chanco to till tho
aoll for themselves, thoy would bo as
happy and prosperous as any people
could bo on the faro of tho globe,"
"What do you think of the national
struggle?"
"I think tho idea of homo rule is tho
leading purpose and hope in tho hearts
of tho Irish people, and thatthostrug
Ijlo will go on until its success is as.
mired. Tho woman in Queenstown,
tho porter in Cork, and tho shopkeep
er in Dublin, with whom we talked,
wera all ol one accord: 'Glvo us homo
rua, lot us take care ot our own af
fairs, nnd wo will get along and ask no
lavor.' It was our pleasure
to have a lengthy conversation
with lion. T. D. Sullivan, lord
mayor of Dublin, a highly iutelli
Runt and thoroughly well-informed gou
tleman, nnd ho was confident that it
was only a question of tinio when
home rulo would bo established. Dur
ing our journey wo fell in with an
Irish Protestant clergyman; ho oven
seemed to lean toward homo rulo, but
only feared that tho Catholics, being
largely in thomajority, would, inevent
of national success, oppress tho Prot
ectants; and when wo pointed to tho
Inct that in tho United State all creeds
and doctrines nourished under tho
Hftiuo government, nnd that patriot
ism for Ireland should overcome re
ligious prejudice, especially as Parnell
and other lbaders arethemseves Prot
(Minute, ho tlnnlly admitted tho hope
fulness of hclf government in Ireland, "
"Woro you impressed by tho beauty
or natural richness of tho country?"
"As you travel through tho country
tou nro at onco impressed by tho
beautiful green nnd lertilo lands that
cru be oeen on all Bides, as far as tho
eye can reach, Tho beautiful charac
tecistio scenery of Irolaud cannot bo
realized without seeing it. The moist
ure of tho climate freoms to bo particu
larly favornhlo to growth and vegeta
tion, giving tho thick, green turf a hil
arious and velvety appoarenco nnd a
rich color rarely teen m any other
place. In fact, you hardly mhj a fence
c stone but is clad with verdure. It
senis as if all that is necessary, in
teod of putting a premium upon idle
imiw by thepresent system of eviction.is
teencouragftthe tilling of thoeoil, which
Appears rich enouch, if properly culti
rated, to support more than four or
Hv time tho number of inhabitants
that new dwell in tho hecttou of tho
country wo passoil through. Kvery
wbvra we saw green fields and lovely
tlaWd ami vast acres of land, where
vwtatkfi nourished in wild luxuri
ance, covered with that beautiful tint
which gives tho land its just and fa
miliar name, 'The Kmc raid Me.'
"And now, Mr. Keporter, boforeclos
ing this interview, I mightsay a word,
by way of comparison between Ireland
and say, Holland, which we visited
after our departure from Ireland.
Now there is Holland, with a popula
tion of over '1,(100,000 and an area ol
about 111,000 squnro miles, with land
redeemed from tlie sea after patient
toil, and which has to be constantly
tronched, rich and pro.ipnroiiH, wliilt
Ireland, with a population ol only
about 5,000,000, although nearly
thrco times tho size of Holland (",
000 square miles) with its rich natur
al soil and beautiful climate, is poor
and depressed. The reason is obvi
ous. In the former country the in
habitants own their lands, and their
welfare is wrapt up in tho husbanding
of their resources, while in the latter
country, under the present system,
tlie ileitis lie idle and the people linvti
lost their interest from oppio
rentals and unequal ownership."

XcwYnrk'o "Swell" Chinaman.
Tom Lea is tho most eminent Mon
golian, except thu consul, in Now York
City. Says the Sun: Ho is a tall,
well-built.copper-colored man ol about
forty-Hovon years, with hhort, crisp,
black hair and a suggestion of a tnus
tacho in tho form of sixteen jet-black
wiro liko hairs. Ho is not only nn emi
nent Chinaman, ho is also a great New
Yorker. Ho runs a restaurant where
tho dinner begins with candy, followed
by preserves, and making through a
long range of amazing dishes that
tasto of bay leaves, torminates in
soup. He also owns a cigar store,
whero Chinamen buy nothing cheapor
than llfteen-cent cigars, but are popu
larly supposed to smoko only on holi
days. Jlo is also tho proprietor of a
grocery store near by, whero ho sells
meats, lish, fruits, and vegotablos,
dried and shipped from China. He
owns two houses and lots in New
York, and a rice plantation in China.
Ho is a deputy" shorili, a Christian, and
tho fat her of a baby or two, tho aifts
of his Caucasian wife. Ho speaks
Knglish, hut only in tho way that
Chluamon do so that is, if he wants
to ho can talk like a ankeo book
agent, and if ho doesn't want to he
can bo as reticent as a log of wood,
and qtuto ns umvolo to comprclieiul
any but his mother tongue. He acta

"Two fallacies aro in voguo regard
ing tho whisker question," bnys tlu
Cincinnati Graphic-Nows; "ono is that
a thin-faced man should support side
whiskers, to 'widen his face;' tho othoi
that a round-faced fat man should
favor long chin whiskers, 'to lengthen
his face' Both aro adopted on the
counteraction antidote principle, but
are wrong as wrong can bo. A man
with a sharp chin exposed is thin and
appears thin in sptto ot Mis liurnsules.
Anil a nioon faeetl man gives himself a
humorous and clownish appearance
by wearing a long, sharp tuft on his
chin. Tho principle of conformity
should be observed, or a wholesale
change made. A thin man, for in
stance, should wear chin whiskers, no
whiskers at all, or a full beard. He
no more looks" well with side whiskers
and a peaked chin than ho would to
stulT his chest and not his cheeks or
his calves. To look well he must b
uniformly and consistently thin, or
he may modify it by n complete beard.
A fat man should bo smooth-faced or
wear universal whiskers pretty closely
cropped. The well proportioned and
moderately full-taced man may vary
tho stylo and quantity of his whiskers
with impunity so far as the thin or
broad appearance Is concerned. A
Very hhort beard uives an animal look;
if very largo it indicates vaaity or
crankiness."

As wo again and again seo the wom
an expecting from hor son tho purity
of manners of a maiden, nnd making
nn account, because sho ignores them
entirely, of tho imperious necessities
of sex; so wo should seo her in matters
of national or universal import simi
larly disregarding or ignoring all facts
of which she chose to tako note. Sci
ence, indeed, presumes that in educat
ing her it would strengthen her reason
ing powers and widen her mind into
tho acccptanco of truo liberty. But
what proof is there that science would
do anything of tho sort? It has nev
er yet showed any trueliborahty itself.
Tho woman is the enemy of freedom.
Give her power and sho is at onco des
potic. The enormous pretensions to
the monopoly of a man's life which
women put forward in mnrriago aro
born of tho desiro to tyranizo. Tho
rnge nnd amazement displayed by tho
woman when a man, whether hor lover
or husband, proves inconstant to her,
comes from that tenacity over tho
man ns a property which wholly
blinds her to her own faults or lack of
charm or power to keep him. A very
clover woman nover blames a man for
inconstancy to her; sho may per Imps
blame horsclf. Women as a rulo at
tach far too great a valuo to them
selves. A virtuous woman is abovo
rubies, ha:) said Solomon; but this de
pends very much on tho quality of tho
virtue; nnd tho idea prevailing among
women that they arc valuable, ad
mirable and almost divine, merely bo
causo thoy aro women, is ono of tho
most mischievous fallacies horn of
human vanity and nccepted without
analysis.
In marriage, moreover, the influence
of tho woman, wherovor popular prej
udices plead to the contrary, is con
stantly belittling nnd injurious to tho
intelligence of tho man. How many
great artists sinco tho days of Andrea
ttol bnrto have cursed tho woman who
hns nindo them barter their heritage
of genius for the pottago of worldly af
fluence. A lady very much given to gadding
wns suddenly taken ill nt homo and
sent her husband m great hnstc for
tho doctor. Tho obedient man ran
fiart of the way, then returned to put
lis important query: "My dear,
whore shall I find you when I get
baok?" Wo have no sympathy with
women like this, who aro never "at
homo" except on their invitation
cards; nevertheless, wo can but seo
that, if husbands need vacations, so
do wives. We do not agreo with tho
old writor who said that a woman
Bhould only leave homo three times
in tier life to bo christened, mar
ried and buried. Doctors tell us
that moro women breakdown mental
ly than men, and thoy also tell
us that this is because thev have more
cares to carry, and have to carry them
continuously. When a man's work
is done, he can lock it up in his
oflico and put tho key in his pocket

she does not want an occasional holi
day, who does? And she cannot get
it at home. Tho more quiet and rest
ful the homo is toiler family, themoro
evidence that is a care, it not a bur
den to her. A housekeeper can no
moro take a vacation in her home
than a merchant in his counting-room
or a Prime Minister in his Council
Chamber. Husbands, then, should oc
casionally try and induro their wives
(if they are good ones it will not bo
easily done) to tako a short holu'av
away from home, whero they can have
tno luxury ol not knowing what is for
dinner beforo they seo it. and io to
sleep without listening with ono ear
lor tho crying of the children.
Without going so far as Lucordaire,
who, in his letters to young people
fixes tho age of seven as tho period of
weaning a noy irom tho delights o
homo life, wo still think with him that
a t lino does como when ho should pros
ecute his studios nnd meet tho trials
of life away from home. The shelter
of tho parental roof, if nover quitted,
Heroines enervating. Hoys are too
much at homo who nover meet their
equals or oncountar rivals and hard
struggles. Some mothers beliovo that
they are exhibiting the proper "ma
ternal feelings" in keeping theirchildren
at homo when they should send them
forth in tho world, whero they can bo
taught tho virtue of self-dependence
iSothnig is Hotter for a young man
than to love his home; but if by stay
ing too much nt homo his activity
and enterprise aro checked, then ono
ot the greatest of life s blessings has
oecomo a curse.
Dentil by Slow Paralysis.
Deacon Amos P. Kendall, of Palmer,
Mass., died recently of a curious dis
ease that had caused the death of his
grandfather, father and two brothers.
In effect it was paralysis, and yet it
camo on very gradually, without any
shock. Less than a year ago Deacon
Kendall noticed a lameness in a finger
on his left hand. Thodisorder develop
ed gradually, until about five months
ngo the left hand becao helpless and
dangled from tho wrist. Next tho
calves of his legs were attacked, and a
couple of mouths moro ho was forced
to stop walking, and t-oon after he was
unable to move his left leg at all. His
mouth and throat were then approach
ed, the muscles com rolling the saliva ry
? lands weakened, which caused i cease
ess flow ofsaliva. Afterthat the prog
ress of the dbnaso was rapid, and at
the time ot his death he had lost his
speech save a few gutteral sounds, wa.s
unable to swallow or to move any
member save one arm slightly and
turn his head somewhat. Tlie para!
yted portions retained the sense of
touch, and his miud was parhxstly
clear to the last.
