hiAGUlitE‘S “ 1111811 1N AMERICA.“ [From the London Slur.)

Tiin Iaisii 1x Assumes. by John Francis Mopuire, .11. P.

Mr. Mn and began his tour at Halifax. lie went through ova Scotln. Prince Edward Island. New Brunswick. U par and Lower Canada. and most of the States of the alert. North and South. He saw and studied the condition of his countrymen as settlers In the forest even yet uneleersd. as laborers on the wharves of Boston. and the levees of New Orleans. on miners. as farmers, as artisans. as merchants. as capitalists. He has produced elaborate and exhaustive study of his sob- Ject; let us add that in doing so he has made a very en- tertaining as well an instructive book. There is not an uninteresting chapter from beginning to end in this vol. ume. Mr. Magiiire has enlivened his subject by a co~ pious variety of humorous anecdotes. illustrative of the drollery, the whimsicslity. or vivacity which. under whatever circumsranees. seem to churac'terlzo the gen- uine Irishman. Some of the old traits of Irish drollery. or pluck. or whims in the late war are peculiarly amu- sin . We own to cpsrticulariy taken with the story of die young Irishman. who, having received a shot du- ring one of the great battles, fell helpless on the body of a wounded comrade, just a moment before laid low. and was greeted by the latter. with the stuttering de- mund:-—" Isn't the whole field large enough for you to full in without tumbling on me? “

Mr. Msguirs‘s report of the condition of his country- man in America. is. on the whole. highly favorable. The Irish emigrant whom he describes. is very different indeed from the sort of being whom Yimes‘ correspon- dents and Ti'iues' leading articles delight to picture and to moralise over. Mr. Maguire finds ilio Irishman in America a man of indomitable energy and patient labor; it man who has fought his way up from positive desti- tntinn to comfort and prosperity. and often even to opulence: who has lands and becvos. and money in the batik. ()fcourso. there are other specimens too; there are the drunkard. and the rowdy. and the ne‘er-do-wcll. and these too. Mr. Mogulrc describes rigorously and justly. but describes them as the exceptions, which they are. not the, average a ecimens which so many delight to make them out. T ese. the failures. owe their fail— urea. as Mr. Mognire shows. mainly to one cause—a fa- tal habit of remaining in the Atlantic cities instead of going onward somewhere and taking to the soil. Against lingering in the great cities Mr. Ms nire warns his countrymen with all the terrible, iri'e utahle clo- quencc of facts and figures. lie is an energetic oppo- nent of the theory that without capital the Iriin immi- grsnt can make nothing of the lan . He shows in how many cases a thriving and prespcrons settlement has grown In avcry few years out of the sturdy labor of 111011 who came to the land with no capital whatever but that which their strong arms and resolute energy represented. Got landat all events, go to work at once at some. thing. and keep sober. This is the sum of Mr. Ms- guire‘s advice to his countrymen who seek a home in the New World. Do this. and it almost seems to fol- low. as the hi ht does the day. that prosperity and com- fort must be e speedy roan t. '

Two great theories. pet and favorite theories, of which the Times newspaper might be culled the chosen organ. have utterly broken down with regard to the emigration of the Irish to America. One was. that the greater the stream of emigration the more quickly would Ireland herself become prosperous and contented. We take it that nobody holds to this once comfortable and plausible doctrine. The other was that the Irish in America would become literally swallowed ur in American so- ciet and politics, as the [In iienot ugitiVes soon were in t c societ and politics of ngland ; and that thus We should be ri of them altogether, and in every sense. Now this theory too has exploded. The Irish in America have become passionate lovers of the country and the Union; but they have never refined to lie Irish. and their national animosiiies and prejudices seem only to gain new fibre and expansion by tile process of traspluutntio-i. “ The Irish are gone ivillia ven ounce." said the Times. exultiugl , when the census n cw years back told of the astounding decrease in the population of the countr . " Yes." replied a popular Irish orator, u but they \vill come back with a vengeance." and the menace, which seemed more hyperbole then, lit-gins to look intelligible and practical now. It is only a few years since Mr. Bright awakened the indi-rnant dissent of the House ofConimons, by deelurin that wherever an Irishman was found on a foreign soi . there stood on enemy of England. We suppose most persons would accept this now as an incontrovertible axiom in politics. This is the condition of things which forms the subject of one or two grave and pregnant chapters in Mr. Moguire‘s book. They are chapters utterly devoid of sensation- alism—calin, proof-e. and practical. Every English statesman or politician. every journalist. every observer of passing history—indeed. everyone who has an intelli- gent interest In the peace and pros‘p'erity of these countries. on ht to read the remark le passages in this work. wli ch tell how the Irish in America are af- fected towards England. Regarding the I-‘eniim organ- isation, pro erl so called, the author of "The Irish in America " ran ly arena that he has little or nothing to tell. He sought for no relationship with any of its exponents, and avoided any acquaintancespr with its secrets. if it has any. Indeed. Mr. Maguire thinks— nud we quite agree with him—that the strength and the urposes of tlie enrolled and organised body of‘ Fen ans. me be treated on of comparitively Ilttlo im~ pertance. enianisin, let it do its best or its worst. can never achieve of its own strength anything more than an occasional annoyance to Great Britain. Mr. Mu ire took some trouble to ascertain the feeling of thefi‘i'isli in America, North and South, towards Eng- land. He found. he tells us. wherever he went, two great feelings dominating all others in the Irioliinsn's mind and working to tlier—love of America and hatred of England. I it found this among men who professed utter contempt and dislike for the Fenian organisation. and who had even less belief in its power to do anything than we have here. He found it among oven the old-fashioned adherents of tlio O‘Connellite polio . the morel-force doctrine. He found It among .19 y. slow. substantial men of business. with lcuty of money and with grey hairs. In some classes t ran into the blindest and wildest fanaticism: in many it was aocorn anled b the strongest iguorane of the con- dition of things in rest Briilan at the resent day. A personagentruly be was a full-blooded!) Fenian—once endeavoured to persuade Mr. Moguirs that the injurious Acts passed by ‘William III. for the diseourageriientof Irish manufactures are still in full force in the reign of Queen Victoria. Repeated failures, such as that at Canada, or that in Kerry and Cork. do not seem In the least to disconr e the fanatical in America. The coolly accept the ailsre, promise themselves better luck asst time, and go on organising as before. These are not. however. of the really formidable class. Those whom Mr. Maguirs points out as due rent are the men who bavo action to do with Fen onion. simply because they think its urd and impotent. The " rc- opoctoblo " turn. the men of money of practical polltlool knowledge. pin a for different and for deeper mo. Chekhoon eetly well how futile it isfor

it are sometimes not ashamed to pay homage ; and they insist that sooner or later the op ortunity they count on must come, and the Irish vote t irown into the scale will wei b down all other considerations and bring on a war wlti En land. 'This Irish t . Mr. Magnire shows by 0th al statistics. is steam; Iberessing. The relative ncrease of the foreign population. if we may thus term it. over the pure American in most of the States, is very remarkable. From various causes. some of which no can hardly allude to here, there is a marked and steed decrease in the fecundity of marriage among the pure y American population. There is, on the other band. an increase among the foreign populations and since the irish most of all. In 1860. according to the odlcia document, the foreign element in the popula- tion of Massachusetts for ssaniple.‘ although composing only about one third part of the population of the State produced more children than the American." The same document further says that “ since 1860 they have aimed savory; your open the American till in 1865 their iirtlis num cred almost 1.000 more than the Ameri- cans.” This fact illustrates very cfl'eetively some of the chances of the policy on which a large class of the Iriin in America rely. They see that their strength growing, one mi rlit almost say in geometrical pro or- tioii; they find tiat theirs is It for the strongest u all foreign elements; and they wait for the day which they think certain, when they can use their power effectually The men who speculte, watch and wait in this way. are the men Mr. Maguirc dreads. Many of them are devoted soldiers of the Union. who have fought and suffered in the service of the States. who own their first allegiance to America. and would only more. even against Enlgan-I when she bade them. They wait for the word of command. and they hope merely to be able to hasten the inevitable hour when that word shall.b(- given. The Canada raid. Mr. Maguire shows. seemed at one period to be a most formidable business. Thousands. liferall ' thousands of Irish Americans. must of whom had faced death on man battle fields were under arms and ready to cross the iorder. They were finally convinced that Mr. Seward meant to pliy a sort of llafuzzi part. and give tacit encouragement to the mow-went. The United States Government was lion- orubly and loyully in earnest. It was determined to do its duty and maintain the principles of international law. The word not passed round that the Government would stand no nonsense, and tilt-so really formidable soldiers of the projected iiivusion. true to their allegiance

uietly disbanded. The attempt was left to un- disciplined and straggling raiders. and ended accord- ingly. But what if the United States Government had then played a Ratazzi part l

The sum of Mr. Mnguire’s report. then. is that the

Irish po ulation of America. coontln an Irish even these wh’osc grandfathers loft lhe ol country. are, \villioul any considerable exception. steadily hostile to England, and have set their hearts and hopes on a war some do against her. We cannoteven attempt to sum- msriss t e number of illustrations and evidences of this state. of things which he gives in his vur interesting volume. No statesman--nuv. no man 0 sense, will any for a. moment that this is a condition of things which England can afford to despise. or ought to treat with absolute indifference. It is not pleasant to hear that our kindred ilius lune us. and it seems especially hard to a generation of Englishmen who really cannot. let them search their consciences ever so carefully. find much with which to reproach themselves so far as Ire- land is concerned. But if we are thus hated. it is bet- ter to know it. and we are convinced that the real state of affairs has never been so comprehensivel y and fairly disclosed as in Mr. Maguiro‘s hook. Does the author. himself an experienced politician and a Member of the [louse of Commons. offer no suglgostions in the way of remedy. Assurcdly he does. I e insists that oven vet Ireland can he made a loyal and contented member of the family of Great Britain. and he sets forth calmly and frankly his own ideas of how this transformation is to be accomplished. Here. however. we trench on the do- main of pure politics. with which this column has pro- perly nothing to do. We are reviewing a book of irn- vols. not criticising a debate in Parliament.

KING THEODORE 0F ADYSSINIA.

[From the Illustrated London News]

It is quite Just to observe that King Theodore has in- troduccd some valuable reforms, which do not, however, seem to have been permanent. This poteiitiite, whose real name is Kaslu. or Iiassn. is a bastard son of an im- povci'lslicd Abyssinian nobleman, llalla Welcda Georgia, who claimed to lie of the Royal lineage. Having dis- tinguished himself 111 some provincial feuds and conflicts, '10 become the aon-iii-iuw of 11115 All. who had obtained the dominion of the Aiiibuvo. country. since the Ahtlce, or supreme Emperor, \vis overthrown at Gondnr. Being a man of unscrupulous ambition and of great military ainl‘polliicui abilities, Kaela found means. in the course of two or three years. to combat and subdue. in turn. each of the chief competitors for ioivcr; first over. coming the troops of the Queen mot or. the Walscro hientu. by whose authority he Illld been appointed. its vejnjmacli or Duke. to rule the province of Kwarra near Sennaur; next defeating his fathor-ianw. line All; then lilrro Goscho. the lord ofGodJam; and. finally. destroying Ubleh, the ruler of Tigrc, whom Ran All had not been able to conquer. lie was thereupon. in 1865, proclaimed. and crowned by the Abouua. llllflL‘l' the title of’l‘iieodore. King of all Kings of Ethiopia, there bciiigan old tradition in Abyssinla “ that a King of the name of Theodore wonld arise. Who should make that nation great and prosperous. and should destroy Mecca and Medina. the two chief cities of the Moslcm."
