The British government thinks it right and proper to make representations to the American state department re specting changes which the Brit ish government thinks should be made in American laws in order to punish as crimes acts done in the United States to promote great changes in the political tie which binds Ireland to the British Crown. Very well! Is it not time asks the World, to make American counter "representa tions" to England respecting the long continuance of such a con dition of affairs in Loudon and in Dublin as is rapidly coming to hi an international nuisance? If there were any reasonable hope that the governing classes in England Liberals or Conserva tives, "Whigs or Tories could bring about peace and good gov ernment in Ireland, the United States might amicably agree to put up a while longer with these vexations and annoyances. But there really seems to be no hope of this. With few exceptions, the party leaders in the House of Commons talk and act about Irish affairs more like a lot of self-sufficient, arrogant, incapable and panic-stricken landlords than like thoughtful, able and deliberate legislators. What would the average Englishman say and do about such a condition of things in any other country as now exists and has so lon? existed in Ireland? What was there in the former con dition of the Ionian Islands, or of Austrian Italy, or of Naples, or of the Papal States, or of Poland, to justify the interference of the British public, if not the British government, a counterpart of which cannot be found in the pres ent relations between Ireland and the British Crown? Have not the United States as srood a right to be impatient of the existing rela tions between Ireland and Eng land as they had between 1808 and 1876 to be impatient of the relations between Cuba and Spain? Spain, however, succeeded in re storing order in Cuba. Is it not likely that these "representations" which Gladstone finds it necessery to make at Washington may be fore long put as severe a strain on the diplomacy of two powerful nations as did the Cuban discon tent? Pointers. Southern journals call Ben. Butler "the last of the Puritans." Freddie Gebhardt has four racers in training besides Mrs. Langtry. A woman has been discovered in New York who receives babies that are not Avanted and sells them at $5 or $10 apiece. The debt of the United States less cash in the treasury, is $1, 575,931,2SS. The decrease since June 30th is nearly $112,000,000. So many logs have been cut and hauled this season in Maine that it is thought the mills will not be able to saw more than half of them. The Cincinnati Enquirer (Democratic) boasts that "its party cold nominate j-ellow dogs in that city this spring and elect every one of them by big majorities." In New York 40,000 girls and women support themselves by their own labor, and S0,000 other women maintain themselves and their husbands by the. work of their hands and brains. Remark by Cardinal de Retz, which is as true now as when it was uttered: "A politician must often change his opinion if he wishes always to remain in the same party.1' It has been estimated that the value of the products annually drawn from our forests exceeds $1,000,000,000, and of the vast im ports of Great Britain two-thirds are said to be of vegetable char acter. -. The Queen of England's crown is made up of diamonds, rubies, sapphires and emeralds set in a silver and gold body. It weighs 39 ounces and 5 pennyweights troy. In it there are 3,452 dia monds, 273 pearls, 9 rubies, 17 asppfeires, and 21 emeralds. The tendency of the time, as the Milwaukee Sentinel interprets it, is to the taxation of all enter prises which are not exclusively charitable. The public sentiment in opposition to tax exemption is growing stronger yearly, and we may rather expect to see the tax ation of property now exempt than the further extension of the privilege of exemption. The Springfield Republican urges the propriety of the adoption by Massachusetts, with some modification, of the English expe dient of a permanent law office at tached to the legislature, which shall have the oversight of the draft of all new legislation. All private bills and matters affecting private rights, especially in the British parliament, are subject to such scrutiny. General J. W. Denver, who is mentioned as apossible Democratic candidate for president, was born in Virginia, went to Ohio, mo ed to Missouri, was a California pio neer, killed his man in a duel, went to congress, was appointed governor of Kansas by Buchanan, was made commissioner of Indian affairs, had a Colorado town (which became its capital) named after him, is rich, has a rick father-in-law, reads much history, and is sixty-five years old. In some reminiscences of Daniel Boone by a writer in the Denver Tribune- the following is said: "When ho went back to his fami ly in Virginia after roaming for two or three years, he found a ba by in the house. Mrs. Boone, who had given him up for dead, hastened to explain that it belong ed to his brother, who had been left in charge while Daniel, went on his long hunt, and Daniel, glad to see them all, made no fuss about it, since it was a Boone anyhow,' and he gathered up the family, brother and all, and went on to Kentucky." The most remarkable hail storm of the season is reported by the Hawkinsvillc- (Ga.) Disjyalch, al though it must be kept in mind that the editor of that playful sheet is never under oath while writing. This hail storm hadeits rise and fall.in Worth county, Ga., and stones of all sizes and shapes imaginable fell. It is said that a little boy found in his father's yard after the storm had ceased a hail stone that resembled a watch in every particular, having a perfect dial and the ring by which the chain is attached, and it was 3:30 o'clock by the hands when the boy picked it up. It is also stated that another one was found in a gentleman's yard that had the ap pearance in every way of of a two-year-old boy with a pistol in his hand, and that the pistol actually fired off and killed a fine fattening hog that had sought refuge in a fence corner near by. Two years ago, according to the Boston Herald, a newspaper correspondent attempted to ex plore a Florida jungle in which is "De Debbil's Tar Kiln," a deep hole in the ground from which sulphurous vapors arise. Every body in the neighborhood counted him as good as lost, except a dark eyed Tallahassee girl. In a week he returned with scarce a rag to his back, almost blind and nearly dead from exhaustion. The negroes were all afraid of him, believing that no one could get out of there except by express permisson of "de ole bad man." The girl nursed and cared for him until he was able to return to his home in New York, where he finally re covered from the effects of the in halations of sulphurous acid gas. The same train that bore David Davis to Fayetteville to be married carried Thomas Hodson on a simi lar mission to Palatka, where he met and was united to his Talla hassee girl in the same house where she nursed him back to life after his perilous adventure. The N. Y. World thinks there must be something wrong in America when an Englishman can buy cotton in Galveston, carry it to England, manufacture it, bring the fabric back to Galveston, pay our enormous customs duties and undersell a rival American fabric in Texas? Fishermen from Glouchester, Mass., are about to send out a committee of investigation to Alaska, in reference to establish ing a halibut fishery in that territory. The skill of Chinese in drawing plants as well as ladies' pedal ex tremities is well known. It is stated in a recent work on China that the ladies of the "upper ten" in the Celestial Empire wear in their bosom Jittle fir trees, which by a carefully adjusted system of starvation have been reduced to the size of button-hole flowers. These remain fresh and evergreen in their dwarf state for a number of years, and an regarded us sym bols of the perpetuity of love, to express which they are used by ladies of the highest rank.
