The tnghsh Parliament met on

for the last half a century and will be
big with the fate of Ireland.

Workman of th Knights of Libor,
ays: 'If every laborer and eveiy
manufacturer would read daily a good
Taper, and keep pcnted on tbe topics of

JrooE Thcrmas, who was seleeted
to act as umpire in the matters of dis
pute between the miner? and operators
of the Hocking Valley (Ohio) mining
district, rendered his decision in favor
of the miners on Friday last. He al
lows them their demand of an advance
of ten cents per ton. and his decision.
by agreement of the parties, is final.
Nothing of special Importance has
transpired in Congress during the pre 8
ent week. The Presidential succession
bill which passed the Spnate just before
the two weeks holiday recess, has been
reported favorably in the House, but
has not yet been discussed in that body
Several speeches have been delivered in
the Senate against suspending the
monthly coinage of silver dollars and
two in favor of it. This question prom
ises to occupy a great deal of the time
of the two houses, but no change in
the present law i3 anticipated.
lr there is any young man in this
couDty. or more than one, between 18
and 22 years of age, desirous of entering
the U. S. Military Academy at West
Point and fitting himself for the Army,
we direct his or their attention to the
letter of Congressman Jacob M. Camp
bell, which is published In another part
of our paper. As will be learned from
the letter, a competitive examination as
to the mental and physical qualifications
of applicants from this, the .Seventeenth
Congressional district, composed of
Somerset, Cambria, Blair and Bedford
counties, will be held by four competent
gentlemen, whose names will he hereaf

A BiJiouT.AR peusion bill was intro
duced into the U. S. Senate last week
by Mr. Cockrell, of Missouri. The bill
authorized the settlement of the claim
of f resident James Monroe for half pay
due him as LteriS",'; Colonel of In- ; investigation.
Before retiring from bis official post
Minister Lowell performed or many of
his deluded countrymen in excellent
service In directing an-, investigation
into the alleged estates in tbe Bank of
England awaiting claimants, in Ameri
ca. Mr. Henry White, one. of the Sec
retaries of Legation in London, con
ducted the inquiry, and bis rej.-urt trans
mitted to the State Department bbows
that these fortunes are as illusory as the
proverbial castles in Spain or the gold
that is picked up in dreams on Tom Tid
dler's Ground.
It appears by a statement made by
the chief accountant of the 15a tik or
Dgland that the whole amount, of
money at the present time in the keep
ing of the Court of Chancery is eighty-
four million pounds sterling, of which
eighty-three millions belong to owners
who are known. This leaves about five
million dollars to be divided among the
imaginary heirs of the "Jennens,'' the
Hedges," the "Hyde," the "Brad
ford," the "Home" and many another
supposititious estate of vast wealth if set
tlement should ever be reached on this
side of the millennium. The numerous
American heirs of the "Jennens estate"
ot fabuiouamouut hold meetings every
now and then to iise funds for seeding
out-atflbow lawyers to London to pros
ecute their claims. Mr. White says
that the Jennens property went to tbe
heirs-at-law long before the American
claimants were heard of, and that the
latter never had a ehadow of a title.
The rest of these estates rest on the
same airy foundations. Of the un
claimed amounts in the Bank of Eng
land the chief accountant quoted by
Mr. White says there are few of one
thousand pounds, and piobably none
that exceed this sum by more than one
hundred or two hundred pounds.
Such are the phantom estates in Eng
land, the foolish quest of which has
lured so much money out of the pockets
of honest people in America. Poor
Becky Flyle was made mad in the vain
prosecutiou of a real claim in Chancery.
How many persons in this country have
lost their wits in pursuing estates in
Europe that are as unsubstantial as is
the pot of gold at the base of the rain
bow in the fables of childhood I Next
t3 Eug'and, Germany and Holland are
the favorite countries Id which weak
headed Americans are pursuing ances
tral wealth. From the time when the
Flying Dutchml began his ocean
roamings his descendants have been
searching for his phantom fortune.
The estate of Anneke JaDS, after the
accumulations of several centuries, is
Supposed to contain as much wealth as
that which Vanderbilt left beaind him
the other day. Ther there is the Zim
merman estate, some of whose Ameri
can heirs have lost their identity by
changing their names to Carpenter, and
with it their share in a fortune which is
believed to be as vast as that of the
Fuggers of the Middle Ages, if it could
only be found. Some of our diplomat
ists on the Continent of Europe, whose
time hangs heavily on their hands,
might find some employment in imitat
ing the example of ex-Minister Lowell
and exposing the illusory character of
these foreign fortunes. But it is some
what doubtful whether the victims of
this peculiar hallucination would de
rive any substantial beuefil from tbe
Ouce possessed of tbe
The agitatioD, protestation, vacilla
tion, and insubordination on tbe
part of Englishmen of all political pro
clivities during the short interval be
tween the election aDd tbe meeting of
Parliament, are strikingly contrasted
with the Imperturbability of Mr. Par
nell and the perfect discipline with
which his example of reticence is fol
lowed by his Nationalist colleagues.
So formidable is the tactical advan
tage secured by this reserve that every
device would naturally be essayed by
both Tories and Liberals to commit the
Home Rulers to a definition of the min
imum concession they would accept.
But it is pretty certain that however
modest might be the demand thus pre
maturely outlined British opinion would
Insist nn vieldlDff less. U is lucky.
therefore, that reither the sunshine of
blandiabmetit nor thetilast T5f objurga
tion has moved the Irish leader to cast
off his wonted cloak of taciturnity.
It requires extraordinary gifts to ex
ercise at such a juncture a vigilant and
iron self-repression, and to euforce a
scrupulous adherence to the same policy
or silence upon fourscore members of
Parliament, every one of whom may be
subjected to probings, pumpings and
cajoleries. We would not disparage
the great powers and services of O'Con
nell. but is the simple truth to say that
with his fervid temperament he could
not in a crisis like the present have
fixed a Beal upon his lips. The confi
dence and exultation with which he
would survey the phalanx of supporters
at his back and tbe iipe occasiou offered
by tbe equilibrium of parties would
almost certainly betray him into some
giave error of strategy. But by con
aumate strategy alone can a majority of
80 hope to wrest home rule from an as
sambly of 670. There has never, in
deed, been auy lack among Irish patri
ots of daring soldier9 or dashing cavalry
commanders ; what Ireland has JaeReu
hs been a general. She has one at last.
We are now beginning, also, to appre
ciate the imperative necessity of the
measures taken at the Dublin confer
ence to insure unanimity and subordi
nation among the Parliamentary promo
ters of home rule. We can see why
every Nationalist was asked in advance
not only to efface his private judgment
before tbe deliberate decision of his
party, but also resign bis seat should
he be pronounced leaky or refractory by
a majority of his colleagues. Of course
tbe eighty Parnellite membeis have
their share of rashness and ductility,
and who doubts but that, without the
striDgent measures taken, soroeof them,
under pressure or seduction, might have
committed themr.elves, if not their
leader, to positions and assertions they
might have to disavow ? It is the mru
who talk too much who are observed to
do too little, and to British onlookers
the pit-sent silence in the Irish ranks is
a fact of grim significatice.
It will be noticed, also, that the reti
cence maiutaiuedby Mr. Parnell applies
only to details, to the mere machinery
by which his cnpital aim shall be ef
tected. There is no mystery whatever
about the fundamental object for which
he is contending. The central, indis
pensable basis ot negotiation hasalready
oetn proclaimed. No proposition from
the Liberals or Tories will be even en
tertained, nnless it embodies a consent
to revive the Dublm Parliament. Su
mueti has been published but no more,
ll would have been folly, ou the other
band, tr formulate beforehand the pre
cise checks and balances by which the
functions an Irish legislature can be
adjusted to the workings of the British
Constitution. To devise such means of
accommodation is the business of the
British statesmen who essay to solve the
hom rule problem ; it will be for Mr.
Parueil to acceptor repel them, accord
ing as it may seem congruous or in coin
paubie with his uuswerviiig pur
pose of securing self-government for
Ireland. Wheu Mr. Gladstone or Lord
Salisbury shall have wrought out and
brought forward a scheme purporting to
attain thai, object, will be the time for
him to speak. 2T. Y. Sun.
Tke Mh Discussed question of Heme
Kule.
London, Jan. 10. Politiciaua of all
6hades seem to b thoroughly at sea
concerning the probable program the
great parties will decide upon with re
gard to the much discussed question of
home rule. The leaders of all parties
have suddenly become very reticent, and
the closest questioning fails to araw
from them an utterance upon which tbe
remotest idea as to the stand they will
take on the Irieh question can be based.
Mr. Gladstone appears to be in a state
of great perplexity, and is apparently
more or less nonplussed by the conflict
ing elements within his own party. He
seems to realize that it would be the
sheerest folly to attempt to give battle to
give battle to the Tories with his own

it is asserted, is planning and scheming
to forestall any contemplated aggres
sion by his opponents. He is acting
with the utmost caution, and will, it is
stated on good authority, be able to

much bolder and more compact front

program containing measures of such a
liberal nature to discomfit his-opponents
and demoralize them in the very
threshhold. He hopes by this plan to
bring the moderate Whigs over to his
support and thereby augmeut his forces
materially.
GLADSTONE'S PREDICAMENT
Mr. Gladstone, sorely hampered as he
is bv the apparent impossibility of get
ting his forces to combine on any plan
with regard to legislation for Ireland
will be at a disadvantage, and it will be
impossible for him to antagonize the
indefatigable Tory leader with any hope
of success. Unless he can bring about
an agreement upon some concerted plan
of action by his followers it is believed
he will adopt no policy, and watch for
a favorable opportunity to strike his
opponents and drive them to the wall.
In Conservative circles it !s freely hiut
ed that the present Government will
assume a defensive attitude, and use
every means at their command to in
duce Mr. Gladston to reveal himself
before they venture to move.

He has disappointed machine politi
cians, but it is because aftei the election
he has kept the promises he made
befoie. With him there is no cajoling
for the succession ; no kitchen Cabinet;
bo side door ; no doubt either in tbe
White House or out of it as to who is
in reality the President.
The rapidity of his rise and the height
of his elevation have scarcely a parallel
in history. Yet without the arts of the
accomplished politician, with no bril
liant points to dazzle tbe public eye, but
solely by straightforward, fearless and
independeut fidelity to public trusts, he
rose in toree nights, from a private cit
izen to be Mayor of Buffalo, Governor
of New York, and President of the
United States.
Courteous to every comer he is in
nately a gentleman. He listens with
interest to the humblest, and cannot be
swerved from his judgment by the high
est. He can neither be moved by flat
tery nor by frowns. He would willing
ly help those who have served his par
ty, but the firs: consideration is ability
to serve the Government. He is ever
at his post, and devotes himself unceas
ingly to his public duties. Questions of
state, matters of national moment, re
ceive the calm consideration of the prac
tical man. He doubtless consults his
Cabinet, is not unmindful of the great
organs of public opinion; then weigh
iug fertcb matter in tbe scales of a "just
and unstrained construction of tbe
Constitution," be decides for himself,
and will change his views only for good
and weighty reasons. He never forgets
that, if be be the head ot a party, he is
President of the Republic. He seeks to
bury all remembrauces of fratricidal
war, and draw closer and closer the
bonJs of fraternal affection. He will,
as President, beyond question cultivate
friendly relations with alloreign pow
ers, but I am sure he will never forget
that America bs a policy of her own,
from which he will never swerve.
Above all, economy and iuttgrity shine
resplendent in every department, and
be courts the severest scrutiny into
every official act."

Singular Will of a Miser.
The following singular will was made
by a miser in Ireland : "I give and be
queath to my sister-in law, Mary Den
nis, four old worsted stockings, which
she will find underneath my bed ; to ray
nephew, Charles Macartney, two other
pair of stockings, lying in a box where I
keep my linen; to Lieutenant Johnson,
of His Majesty's Fifth Regiment of
Foot, my only pair of white cottou
stockings and my old scarlet great coat;
and to Hannoh Burke, my housekeeper,
in leturu for her long and faithful ser
vice, my cracked earlhern pitcher."
Hannah, in high wrath, told the other
legatees that she resigned to them her
valuable share of the property, and then
retired. In equal rage. Charles kicked
down the pitcher, and, as it broke, a
multitude of guineas burst out and
rolled along the floor. This fortunate
discovery induced those present to ex
amine the stockings, which, to their
great joy, were crammed with money.

A fire broke out In the block of build

Emerld streets, at Philadelphia on Mon
day last. Nearly the entire) block was des
troyed. Two laree bmldihes on the oppo
site aide of Adams street caueht. fire and
were also destroyed. The buiidines were
owned by the Arnett Steam Tower Mills
Company, and were leased to a number of
occupants. Nine hundred people were em
ployed in the buiidines, and the fire throws
them out of work. Snow and ice hindered
the firemen a ereat deal. The total loss is
placed at ?l 000 Ooo. on which there Is a
very consideraole insurance.

My boy (tbree years old) was recently
taken with cold In the head, which seemed
finally to nettle in his nose, which was
stopper! up for days and nlchts so that it
was difficult for him to breathe and sleep.
I called a physician who prescribed, but did
him no good. Finally I went to the drue
store and eot a bottle of Ely's Cream Balm.
It seemed to work like magic. The boy's
nose was clear In two days, and h has heen
o. k. ever since. E J. Hazzard, New York.

The retmris of the Pope's feebleness
are declared to be grossly exaggerated,
and his Holiness is said to be t-njoyini;
unusually vigorom bealtb. It is diffi
cult to believe any item of news affect
ing so important a personage wheu that
item has been communicated to the
Continental press bv parties interested.
Lho XIII is an old man, whose health
has always been delicate, and whose
death might reasonably be expected at
auy moment. At the same time people
of his constitution pre-eminently the
scholar's are apt to reach great ages
through temperance and care. Eveiy
one will wish that the amiable and tal
ented Pontiff my, like his predecessor
upon the throne, see and exceed the
"years of Peter." riis is a transition
Pontificate, such as a man of his temper
and character will administer most sare
lj, aud illustrate most acceptably in tbe
eyes of outer nations ; and it is" for the
best interests, alike of the Church and
the world, that this period should be
made ns long and as quiet as possible.
