From the neighborhood of Belfast, Ire
land, comes the best blood in the United
States, the Scotch-Irish. From that race
have descended many, if not the large ma
jority of the conspicuous men of our coun
try in every class and profession. The
West field Republican tells the following
story of a lad coining from the locality
named. It is just such perseverance and
energy that mark all of that blood :
He is an orphan bearing the name of
David Armitage, and before he struck !
out for himself,lived with his grandmoth
er, in Belfast, Ireland. By dint of pru
dent economy, with the help of his grand
mother, he accumulated lour pounds ster
ling, and with this fund purchased a half
fare ticket to America. On shipboard,
being a bright and pleasant boj' without
friends, he soon attracted the special at
tention, not only of the captain but of the
cook as well, and it is to be presumed
that he fared quite as well as did many an
older one who paid for all the cabin and
larder had to offer. He was landed in
Boston but to New York he wanted to
go, so was dispatched thither by the in
terested captain. He arrived at Castle
Garden and found himself alone in
America, lie gave his name to the offi
cers in charge of emigrants, and told t hem
he had an uncle living in Westfleld by the
name of Robert Shaw. There are a great
number of VVestflelds in the United
States, and as the lad did not know what
state his friends lived in, postals were
sontto twelve ditto re lit Westfields, all ad
dressed to Robert Shaw. The one di
rected to Westllcld, N. Y., was answered
by telegram by Mr. Shaw of that place,
and funds were forwarded immediately,
with which the young traveler easily
found his way to the desired desitnation,
arriving there on Friday. He is a bright,
pleasant boy of thirteen years, and his en
terprise has brought him to a good home
where he will be well cared for.
A lady in Salt Lake City, who has en
joyed the privilage of attending a family
dinner party at which the host intro
duced his second wife to his llrst wife
and to his other acquaintances, has confi
ded lux impressions to the Sacremento
Union. After dinner, which dragged ter
r bly,the bridegroom looking very sheepi h
indeed, preparations were made for the
opera. He placed his arm gent ly around
thi! slender waist of his new bride, folded
her cloak, close to her form and drew her
toward him in the sight of his llrst wife
and all the guessts. She responded to
his caress with a tender glance, and the
lady who describes the scene noticed in
the first, wije's pallid face a look of ago
nized endurance mingled with devilish
malignity. When the visitor expressed
her sympathy after the departure of the
bride and bridegroom, the first wife re
plied: "I am not jealous, but happy in
this new love of my husband. Our faith
teaches us to love these sisters in mar
riage as our own Ilesh. This marriage is
not an estrangement of my husband's
love, as it would be In an unsanetitled
Gentile, but a remarriage to myself. In
this marriage I live over again my own
espousal, my own bridal, and renew again
the first sweets of married love." When
the other guests, had gone, however, the
truth came out unreservedly. "I am most
wretched. Between me and any celestial
lights, or any glory or peace or consola
tion in this life or in the world to come,
there stands that woman. Between me
and all the light of my religion stands
that woman. This girl's face is hateful
to me; that my husband should love one j
for her mere beauty alone! My imagiua-1
tion cannot be held back from all the
soul-torturing, crucifying things which
follojv in the train of his marriage.
