What tho Irish people were, what they now nro, how they he- came such, and how they can he restored to their former place in the front ranks of the molt exalted people of the world. Step back in Irish history three thousand years, and you will find Ireland then, as now, divided into four provinces, About this tiine the northern province of Ulster rose, to conspicuous preeminence The King of Ulster soon became the acknowledged head of the whole island. He was not only the commander in chief of the army of his own province, but in time of war the leader and commander of the united forces of the four provinces. The capital of Ulster, the king's place of residence, was thon called Lotbair Croliin, afterwards named Tara, and now Kew Orange. (Tara was situated near the river Boyne, between Dro- gheda and Stone, in the county of Meath.) This city became greatly distinguished for numbers, wealth, and influence, and its king for power and executive ability. The peoplo of Ulster were distinct from all the rest, in race, religion and enterprise. They were called Fir-Bahjoes, that is, the "divine folks." They were superior in architecture, and wonderful in their skill in the use of metals. In the sixth or seventh century beforo Christ a very wonderful man made his appearance; he was called Ollum Folio, the "divine man." Though he was not the king, he virtually ruled both the king and Ulster, and ho was obeyed by tho king, and his authority generally acknowledged. Ollam Folia's medallion in bass-relief is now to be seen in the dome of the Four Courts in Dublin. This wonderful man soon changed the laws, instituted a form of responsible government and a parliament, and turned the people from idolatry to a pure worship. He had a beautiful-princess with him, named Tea Tophi, whom he married to Eochaid, the king. Ho founded a large college, the Mur Ollam, and changed the name of the capital from Lothair Croffin to Tara; this name meaning "law," in harmony with the constitutional government he had given to the people. A large palace also was built for the distinguished and beautiful princess; Tea Tophi, a description of which is found in a rare and curious old manuscript, now in the library of Trinity College, Dublin. It was 900 feet square and 5G feet in height, having 12 porches and 12 doors. The inside was divided by two halls running at right angles. Each wing had 12 divisions, with 16 attendants attached to each. Here 1,000 guests were fed daily, besides the princes, orators, engravers, and workers in gold and silver, men of science nnd historians. Here were tho headquarters of the harpists and musicians, which mako the halls of Tara so famous in history. The harps used in tho hulls of this far famed city were aftor tho model of King David's, and have only Imeu fnuud in Ireland and Wales, lending some learned men to suppose that the ancient inhabitants of Ulster were of tlio tribo of Dan, and thou of Wales of the tribe of Simeon-hence, a part of Israel. (Eight hundred years after, in the roign of Oortnac Ulfada, this famous palace was standing in all its glory.) The grand old city of Tara was for more than a thousand years the capital of Ireland, and moro than this: What Jerusalem was to the pure worship of the God of Israel, so was Tara to the true worshippers of Jehovah throughout the world. Indeed Tara was the capital of the religious world, a capital on whose throne sat to rule and reign 142 monarchs of the Fir-llalijo, supposed by some to bo of tho tribo of Dun. (That tha ancient inhabitants of Ulster were of laraelitish extinction thore can bo little doubt, ns thousands of words in the Irish and Hebrew languages aro alike.) My next will be on the downfall of the Irish people, and tho means by which it was effected. Wm. Kkxt, M. D. .Irnny Mail's KoMaaee. Jenny Lind's husband, Otto CJolcl- schmidt, though he is quite bald, is fifteen years younger than his wife. The story of their marriage is a romantic one nnd littlo known. During her travels through America, Sir Julius Benedict, lirr accompanist, wus obliged suiKienly to return to England, and then sho remembered n poor young Qcrtimn musician she had met the year before, and sent for him at once to supply Sir Julius' place. Tt was not long before the young musician was violently in lovo with tire prima donna, but, being poor and unknown and so much her junior, he had no hope of any success. Finally he became so unhappy he resigned his place, and being pressed by the cantatrice to toll tho reason for such a step, he confessed his hopeless love, and was astonished and delighted when sho fell into his arms and declared she had loved him from the lirst. They havo been extremely happy together, and now people scarcely guess that she is the older of the two.—Ex. BY TELEGRAPH.

Vienna, Nov. 5.—Count Kalnoky informed the Hungarian delegation today that the situation is not one that inspires the least anxiety. It would bo impossible, he said, for Austria alono to solve the Bulgarian question. Austria's efforts aro directed, however, towards tho peaceful creation of a free and independent Bulgaria. The close relations of Austria with Germany havo -long been known to the world, and the friendship existing between Austria and Italy is neither of yesterday nor to-dny. The relations of tho empire with Kunsiri are good, and leave nothing to be desired. On the whole, he declared, the situation is better than it was in 1886. THIS HOBNINO'S DESPATCHED AT IT AGAIN. PAnis, Nov. 7th.—A dispatch from St Petersburg this morning says: Another Nihilist plot which is supposed to havo been prepared against tlie life of tho czar has been discovered. In a house near the Catharine canal is a pharmacy belonging to ono Schuppo a German, The polico were advised by neighbors that the house waa suspected. They made a descent and discovered a number of bombs, dynamite and many revolutionary pro- claitnations. The trial of 18 young army officers aa nihilists has just been concluded. lt resulted in one beiug condemned to 8 years in tho mines in Siberia and the other s to simple banishment. STRUCK IT KICK. Boston, Nov. 7.—Thomas Maguire, a workingmnn with four ohildren, living near Fall Rivor received a letter yesterday from a solicitor in Denver Col.;-informing him thnt lie has boen appointed oxecutor of the will of hia bachelor brother Barthalomew Maguire, who left a fortune estimated $3,500,000. principally invested in gold and silver mines. Barthalomew left Full River about 15 years ago, and the fortuno is bequeathed to six brothers and sisters of the deceased. A PECULIAR SITUATION. San Fkancisco, Nov. 7.—A special from Washington tu-day says: Senators now in city are remarking on peculiar situation thoy will lind themselves in four weeks from to-day, on the fisheries quostion. Just beforo they adjourned last March they declared, by almost ununininus vote, nnd aftor a long discussion, thut they wanted no commission and no negotiations, but desired our government to stnnd up to its present treaty with Great Britain and simply ilemarul its rights. Very soon after congress adjourned. Com- missiohors were appointed to meet with thoso from Great Britain here this week and when tho senate convenes it wiiljw confronted with tho no- uiinntiuns of tlioso commissioners. Tlio senators doclnro they will not confirm appointments or voto money to pay salaries ou expenses of tlio commissioners, and thero is no fund from which to meet theso outlays iu tlio department of the State But thore is yet another umbiirrnastiient which may bo presented, what will the somite do with tho treaty the commissions will present: Suppose itis n desirable one, can tho suunto rofuso to ratify it simply because it snid it did not wiint a ti-euty or commissioners.

Chicaoo, Nov. 7.--The Times this morning hns a long editorial on the discovery nf six bombs in anarchist Ling's cell yesterday. lb says. The schemo tn furnish Ling bombs was evidently carefully thought out by somo of his co-partners in crime, on tho outside. Several days ago a fnnoy soap box \\vasbroughttothejail,andjuBt now, in the heat of tho excitement, officials say thoy cannot remember who delivered it. Thoy may know who it was, but if they do thoy will not say so until they have made somo arrests. The box was -harmless looking, and wns handled in a rough nianiior as jail officials usually do those things. A hnsly examination disclosed the fact that to all appearances it contained nothing moro than a few dolicacies fur which such a human tiger as Ling hu an appetite. Had the polio* and deputies known that there woro bombi hying around loose in such close proximity they would not have been so easy, but they were' in ignorance of any danger, and they would probably hare continued so had lt not been for th* raid on Liugg's cell. It was then that the magnificient looking nap bin in* found tuliavo a false bottolb and it was underneath this the bombs were smuggled into jail, CAUOHT IN THE ACT. Chicaoo, Nov. 7.—The polio* hay* just arrested John VanPHntky and John Vater Rives, well-known Socialistic characters, who wen loitering around the jail late on Saturday night. The police lay VnnPlinsky was trying either to peer into one of the cellrosa windows from the alley, or. trying to break it open, they could not toll which for they caught him before ho ,. had a chance to carry any design ht may have had into effect.

Washington, D.O., Nov. 7.—Th«r* is quite a little excitement in naval circles over the announcement thlt Lieut. Foulke, of the navy, has married a native girl of Oorea. The lieutenant was sent to Oorca 3 years ago to represent the Uuited States government and most of this time has acted as minister. He has acquired' tne language and a liking for the people, - which he oxemplies by marrying the . daughter of a nobleman belongintr to the Kine's household. Foulke told his friends he should resign from the service and settle there. The King is very fond of him.

Chicaoo, Nov. 7.—Sheriff MaUon snid this morning referring to the six bombs discovered in Anarchist Lingg's cell yesterday: "There is no doubt u to the nature of the stuff found in Liugg's bombs." Ho said'that part of the filling hod been taken out of a couple of pipes and exploded, and that it had been found to be the strongest kind of dynamite. The amnesty people have their tables on tb*' street again this morning but then hu been less disposition on the part of th* people tu sign the petition than on Saturday, and but few names hav* been scoured.

Ten or twelve years ago Edison, the great electrician and inventor, constructed an instrument which ho called a phonograph. This little machine may be descrihed briefly as a reversible telephone, It was composed of a cylinder over which a thin sheet of soit metal or tough paper was made to pass. Attached to it was a receiver or devioe similar to those used in the ordinary telephone. When a person spoke into the receiver, the sounds were accurately recorded on the sheet by meohanical indentations made by a hard instrument attached to the disk of the receiver. After having received its message, the sheet could be made to pass over the cylinder by turning a crank, and every sound recorded by it would be accurately aud audibly reproduced. The possibilities of the instrument, it may be readily seen, were beyond all computation, and many people were greatly disappointed because Mr. Edison "laid it aside ifc- liead of bringing it into practical use. It is announced from Now York that the phonograph has ju.it been completed in all its details, uud that a large number of theso instruments are now in course of construction. In an interview the inventor said he had spent eight months on it, and pronounces it now a complete success. Five hundred phonographs aro to be ready for use before the end of January. Mr. Edison expresses the opinion that these instruments, which are extremely simple and quite inexpensive, will come into use in all commercial establishments, and they will doubtless find their way also into the homes of those who can afford to buy them. The possibilities of these wonderful instruments oannot be measured They will probably supersedo the type writer entirely. A person may talk to one of them as he would talk to a friend, and every word, as well as the tones of voice, will be faithfully recorded. The sheet may thon be taken out and sent by post to the person for whom the speech was intended, hundreds of miles distant, ind niter being placed in the phonograph the wholespeeoh niuy be ground out without the loss of a word or a tone. For either official or private correspondence this contrivance possesses very substantial advantages. The phonograph will take down tho words as fast as they are uttered, so that i very long communication may be recorded in a few minutes. The sheet, or "phonogram," is not injured by use, and may be put through the initrument as often as it is desired to repeat the communication. Asiverbatim reporter the phonograph will, doubtless, find extensive employment. Our best phonetic reporters are liable to err, and none of them can for nny length of time follow a rapid speaker. The phonograph cinnot make a mistake, and it never gets tired. Its record would doubtless be accepted as conclusive in any court of justice, for not only must it repeat the very words it received, but it repeats them in tbe same voice, with such exact tone as to be readily recognized is the utterance of the speaker. ln reporting speeches it will be necessary only to have one of these phonographs in front of the speaker. When the phonogram has been filled, it may be taken to the printing office, inserted in a phonograph thero, ind set in motion. As the sounds lire repented the words may be ut up by tho compositor. In order to ensure accuracy it is customary to read proof by copy; but the phonograph will read its own copy, ind the proof reader may des- pense with his assistant. Phonographic reporting will at once put an end to all disputes as to what a speaker did or did not say. Liko figures, phonographs cannot lie, and hon. members of parliument who sometimes say foolish things and wish to deny then afterwards will not be able to do so with much success. There are numerous other directions in which this mar vellous invention will produce astonishing results. It will no longer be necessary to import expensive lecturers or lingers. The finest lectures and conserts delivered in London miy be accurately reproduced oni ihe stage of Herring's Op House in this oity by means of this little instrument. Not only solos, but quartettes and choruses where hundred! of voices and instruments ire engiged, may be ground out without losing any of their charms—for the phonograph repeats exactly the combination of sounds it received.and then will be precisely the aame as when they fell first on the human nr. The phonograph will also be oome a detective. Leave one of these instruments anywhere, and it will tell you every word and every tound uttered iu its presence. If yoa inspect your belt girl of ihter- tiining a rival, drop your faithful phoiugraph tinder the sofa, and when yon trewane the oylinder it will repeat everything he s»id to her and 'what^ipiweredl eaaPHB—9SS9B9 A t—fle bottl* of Aytr't SarsapariUa -ill aatablUh thl merits of this medicine u a bliod purifier.

WonW Kusiiit li'om tho Unltotl State's Govern. inont Monopolising AU tho Lines— England's Exporleniro Useful to Us— How to Do It. In viow of tho ngltation in the United SlntcB Coiigroes of tho subject, of postal tcrluuriipliy, luul ,ho P™>!ll'lllt'*, that action will ho taken .upon it at the approaching session, thero eon be nothing of greater interest to Americans just at this moment Hum,the telegraphy system of the BrltiBli tipvernlnent, ta connection with its mallNiervico, inasmuch as ths service to be given in the United Btates is to be patternod alter that in England. Among the officers of tho general government with whom I havo talked 6n this subject *to Mr. J. 0. Lambe, whoso rank equals'that of second assistant postmaster general in America. He Baid: "If tho government of the United States undertakes to furnish a telegraph service-and I think it should —it ought to have the monopoly of it, and give the people the benefit of tho monopoly j otBer*ise the rival companies will let the government do the work where it does not pay, without opposition, and by cutting rates in the densely populated sections secure all the patronage there, and therefore the crew ol "** eervlce." We have only one drawback with us, and that is our indebtness; we owe for every dollar of tho original plant. With no interest to pay tne government of America should be able to furnish tho people with a telegraph Bervice at rates less than we do, and Jiave a clear front at the end of every -B^Cal year. I wil tell you something abont tho rates of tariff charged for telegrams under onr system, and you can compare them with the charges in yonr country, and see if we do not already undercut your private companies a very groat deal. The charge for t|ie transmission of a telegram from any to sny pout in our United Kingdom, including the channel Islands, etc., etc., is sixpence for the first 12 words, and a hall-penny for each subsequent word. In your money it would be 12 cents for the flrst 12 words and a cent for etch subsequent word. We charge for tho address and signature to a telegram,1 and 1 believe that it is the only departure we havo taken from your svstem in adopting the talo- graph as a means of communication. Ordinary postage stamps are placed on the telegrams for payment ol telegraph service, and they are cancelled at the postoMce whero filed the same as If they were mailed, at the rates I have named. XEWSPAFEB TAIUPFS. "The newspapers probably get as much benefit as any other class by the government telegraph svstem. The rates for .newspapers-and I mean by newspapers all publications registered as newspapers at the postolnce and entitled to reduced ^postage-and also clubs, news ablations, "bay 1 shilling (26 cents) lor each 100 words dispatched after 6 p.' . for the first address, and 2 pence (4 cento) for each 100 words to every additional address receiving the same report. For day messages tho rate is the same, excepting that the basis is 75 words for 1 shilling. You seo at this rate where a message is addressed to more than oue newspaper the cost is but 4 cents for each 103 words or fraction thereof after the initial 100 ia paid. The cheapest rate given in America is about 10 cents for 180 words, where the distance is short and the number of words sent is great. The average press rato in America ia, I behove, something like hall • cent a word, or twice the amount we charge lithe telegram is sent to one paper, nt IBIS COBKTBY. "Ihe immense advantage In postal telegraphy in America would be, I should think, to the people at places where there is no competition in tele graphy. Whon the government owns and controls the telegraph system a man living in a small place with only one tell . _ rate on his messages, ss prompt service and ss many accommodations as the one residing in a large city where there are everso many rival telegraph lines. . Then there is absolute security to those who send messages over government lines. The secrecy is perfect. No one was ever Jtnown tp make public the contents oi a message. All operators and clerks are sworn. It Is a misdemeanor ln all the United Kingdom except in Scotland, and is punished by fine or Imprisonment, to open a telegram. Tho same relates to the mall matter in America. In Scotland it is made a crime to open a message whether it Is done hy an employe or other person, or to make the contents of a telegram known to a person not entitled to them. We have special delivery arrangements and they act with great promptness," OS KAIUIOADS. "How do tin, railroads operate telegraph lines since the government prohibits the maintenance of individual wires?" I asked; "The government," replied Mr. Lambe, "supplies all employes, even ior private individuals, in the operation of telegraph- lines. Except In special instances, the railroad companies do not own the lines they use. Ifaapeclal wire if desired, they make application for it to the government. If we find it is needed, and there is room lor it, the railroad company puts up the wire and we pay for it. There Is such a thing as a railroad company leasing a wire from the government, and It li known as a sub or additional railroad wire. We charge tl a mile a year (or it and (urnish an operator;, but the government has exclusive rights (orthe construction and maintenance of all tele- graphlines,,evehover private property." ton nouns. "I presume your system wonld do awar with our special wires bt stoek "An Individual may control a lino from one iii hb houses to another; a firm may have a line of its own, built and constructed at ita own expense, from one oLita, houses to another; but one broker oannot have a line of his own to another broker unlets lie leases it irom the government, and then it is Under the government's control. The rale ior leased;hues It £7 ($35) per mile per annum. We provide these tpecial wires wherever needed, and the figure includes Instrumentt, clerks, operators, etc.. Tho aeoouiits (or the telegraph service are Kept in with mono for postage, etc., nml wherever practicable the postmaster in the telegraph operator. Of courso in tho larger places, wlrero ono or two clerks lie reouired, the postmaster, the clerical force and the operator arc distinctive offliwm nf tlio olllce. The hows for the t o.'llcea are the same as those of the off ces. Where messages arc to bo sont after official hours, arrangements must bo inndo witii tlio postmaster. Wo do not havo telegraph offices at all tho post- offices. "On March 31 oi last yoar the number of postofflccB in tho United Kingdom was 10,805. Of theso 4,740 were telo- graph offices, anil in addition there wero 1,515 railway stations open for telegraph business. When tho patrons of a post- office in a community beliovo they can support a telegraph office they torniu- iate a petition and guarantee thnt tha receipts from tho tologrnph shall bo sufficient to liquidate the expenses. Then a telegraph office is opened. Wo pay our postmasters and operators, where they are the tame, in the smaller places by a percentage of tho income of the offices. The salaries are graded the same as those of the postmasters ol the fourth class in America; in fact, our whole system of salaries iB abont the same as in America, except more liberal." i t i CHEAP MONEY.

Complaints are general all over tho country relative to the disgraceful appearance of the silver certificates of the smaller denominations. They look worse than a poor counterfeit, and havo been rejected time and time again us counterfeits. They remind us oi the shoddy clothing furnished our army during the late unpleasantness. They look worn out before they are worn at all. iSouie of the certificates flrst issued woro turned out while they were green, and they are to disreputable as to he almost beyond redemption, But the entire issue is printed on paper so poor that a corner grocery would not use it to wrap cheese in. This is not a nice thing to say about Uncle Sam's money, hut the worst of it is, it is true. Everybody who has bandied the certificates will coincide with us in saying that overy $1 and $2 silver certificate outstanding should be called in and new certificates printed on good paper issued in their stead. These certificates havo heen in circulation only a lew months, yet they present a worse appearance than the legal tender notes which havo heen in circulation (or twenty years or more. The policy o( tho Government with reference to the making ol contracts for supplying paper for notes wo think is very unwise. The system of making new contracts every year prevents and discourages the making of first-class paper for Government use. No man will risk the money necessary to perfect machinery and plant for making a class ot paper to be used exclusively by llio Govornment and not be assured that his contract will not expire almost as soon as he has his machinery in working order. A simple business proposition is involved In this matter. The Government wants a first-class distinctive pnper which nobody else shall be nllorve.l ,b use for any purpose whatever, it wants u paper that cannot lie countei'i'eite.l and that will be durable. Much a paper can be produced only nfter long and often expensive experiment. To produce it in quantities sufficient to meet the requirements of the Government nn extensive and expensive plant is necessary. What does the Government otter us an inducement for such an outlay of labor and money? Simply a contract for one year. If Congress will adopt a distinctive class of paper and permit a contrart to be made covering a reasonable perio-1, all difficulty in securing just what tlio Government wants will be obvintc.l. Then can the manufacturer be held strictly to hit contract, and good faith on the part of the contractor' will be insured by the very duration of his contract. The Bank of England for ovor a century has obtained its supply of bank note paper irom one family, and ouly once, we believe, has this paper ever been successfully counterfeited. Far better would it be (or our Government to adopt eome auch plan as this than to have its notes printed on such paper as is now being circulated as money. The Easter Island Images. Lieut.

Tho Canadian Pacific llnihvay have a gang of moil at work driving n row of piles along tho track in front of llio spot where the land slides have occurred of late. Tlio bank is not very hisrh, but the ground seems to be of n springy nature, which, when thoroughly saturated with rain, flows duwu to the track in the form of liquid mud. The length of this piece of ground is about 250 feet, and it ia the only bad spot on that part of tho line. It is expected, when the barricade is finished, that there will be no more serious trouble experienced from land slides on the Vanoouver extension. The recent rains have played considerable havoc with' the road-bed in some places and and the line is rather rough at present. Bevlvlng au Old Dlspnle. Lost evening two prominent citizens of Port Moody indulged in a dispute over a dog which one claimed tho othor had shot. Ono was a young man and the other was well advanced in years, but who still retained nil the vim and vigor of youth. The dispute occurred in the railway station, at tho Junction, whilo the parties woro waiting for tlio train. The dog shot, it appears, wus a valuable ono and the young man had boen accused on several prior occasions of having done the deed, but which ho had always denied. When the dispute was revived last night the elder of the two boldly asserted that the young man had killed the dog. To this "tire lie direct" was given, and no sooner given than a Wow from the strong arm of the old man laid the speaker on the floor. Coats wore taken off and it was proposed that thoy should go outside and settle the matter. This was done, but the gallant youth on reaching the open air declared he could not strike a head with gray hair on it; otherwise he would proceed to beat him into a jelly. The elder implored him not to let his sympathy and reverence for gray liaira prevent him from commencing the smashing process, but tho young man was obdurate and the matter stands for tho present. A Uliont Been at Nanaimo, A few evenings sinco, tho' Good Templars gave a social in Nanaimo to which, among others, two young ladies went. While they were eujoying tlio fuu two gentlemen called nt thoir house, but of course did not Hnd tho ladies in. The youngest sistor, however, was at homo and invited tire gentlemen to stay till her sisters eamo back. This they did, and when it was time for tho ladies to bo coming home they all threo decidod on going to meet them. One of the gentlemen, in "order to have some fun, as ho called it, dressed up as n ghost and concealed himself in the cemetery past which the ladies had to go on thoir way home. Contrary to expectation tho ladies were accompanied by an escort of three gentlemen. It was too late for tho ghost to retreat, so with silent stop he walked up to the party, when, suddenly, the air' was rent with horriblo yell, and the three gentlemen took to their heels.
