any Irishman deserving the name would try to injure Lady Dixie. Her mother is an out-and- out Nationalist, and that fact alone, apart from the regard due to the gentler sex, would guard the daughter of the Dowager Marchioness of Queensberry from insult and violence." In fact, the motive for this alleged outrage, no less thans, for the Phoenix Park murders, and the recent London explosions, must appear inexplicable to most people on any other theory than that its authors are, whether secretly or is agitation, enemics of Irish nationally. "This says Michael D. Gallagher, President of the Famell Land League of New York, is all got: up by the British Government. The Land League knows nothing aboutable agitation." are to have an entirely peaceable But, unfortunately for this theory of Govern- ment authorship, the revelations in connection with the Phoenix Park murders and other similar outrages fasten these crimes exclusively upon a secret society known as the "Irish Invincibles," whose members are composed of the lowest dregs of the former Fenian organizations in the United Kingdom and whose revolting deeds are applauded by the similar dregs of that once powerful movement in this country.
And still more unfortunately for this theory of Government connivance, one set of Irish revolu- tionary leaders, represented by Patrick Ford, editor of the New York frish World, openly countenance the dynamite scheme, of which the London explosions are an example, while an other set of revolutionary leaders, represented by O'Donovan Rossa, editor of the New York United Irishman, have
openly and deliberately adopted
It as national policy. The only plausible. O'Donovan Rossa, with the English Gov for connecting Patrick Ford and emment is that they are effectually playing into its hands; but this ground is of it self inadequate, as Irish "patriots" of their advanced class are entirely too numerous in this country to be all subsidized by the English secret service money which is so liberally sup- plied from Dublin Castle. No one of common sense would suppose that any organization headed by the Irish leader, or which can be fairly said to represent the Irish people, is responsible for the London explosions or the attempt on the Ufe of Lady Florence Dixie. But both these acts thoroughly in keeping with the cowardly methods of the Irish Invincibles" and their aiders and abettors in this country, that, until the contrary is proven, the world is certain to hold them responsible, whether correctly or not.

Etna, the most famous of volcanoes, is again like some of those that have in past times car- ried death and destruction to the smiling towns and villages that cluster on its slopes. There are two cities and sixty-three towns, of all sizes, agricultural districts about them, of no less than on the mountain, having a population, with the 300,000 souls. Etna differs in
in some respects from other celebrated volcanoes. Its cruptians, whether more or less terrible, have a general re- semblance. They are preceded by earthquakes, which are sometimes felt as far as Cyprus. Rifts open down the mountain sides, from which sand," smoke, ashes and scorire are poured with great violence. Lofty cones are thrown up to the height of 800 or 1000 feet Similar phe nomena are sometimes observed in the eruptions of Vesuvius, the volcanoes in Iceland and in

The obnoxious course Lady Florence Dixie has recently taken in opposition to the Irish lea ders is cailly explained. Her political creed she has adopted from her mother, who in an evil day accepted Patrick J. Smyth, the liberator of John Mitchell, and once the idol of frish Nation as her "guide, counselor and friend." Smyth's hatred of Parnell is only exceeded by his hatred of the Land League. If said he, when last remonstrating with his Tipperary constituents, "you are not lost to every sense of patriotic and human feeling, weep for a land re- duced to a condition of savagery. See the poor and honest man shot down in his cabin in the midst of his little oner See the gentle and blameless lady massacred in her carriage. See these things and reserve your curses for that lea. gua of hell that has brought all this ruin, all this shame and dishonor upon our nation." This indiscriminating hatred

an cany pray the misrepresentations of Richard Pigott, once the most extreme "patriot" in Ireland, has taken strong grounds against the management of the Land League funds, which, according to her views, have been improperly diverted from charitable uses. But Parnell's statesmanlike policy is sustained by the great majority of Irish Nationalists at home and abroad, and in that fact, coupled with the prospect that the criminal clement, which is now working on the side of the British Government, will be finally put down by the Irish people themselves rests the one great hope of Ireland.-S.
