from Congleton in Cheshire to Ireland. Thomas Parnell attained the distinction of having his poems collected by Pope. One of his sons was a pet of Swift, and, like Swift, a poor parson near Dublin, This poor parson was as good as insane the better part of his life, having been thrown into incurable mel- ancholy by the death of a beautiful wife. Another son of the poeé became a jadge, and his son married into the Ward family, one of whom became Lord Bangor. It is a little more than a hundred years since the first title fell upon the Parnell family in the form of a baronetcy for John, who sat in the Irish House of Commons for Bangor. What dis- creditable thing he did to win the distinction, always doubtful in Ireland, is not on record ; but if he were at fault he nobly atoned for it, for his devotion to Ireland never faltered in the stormy days when the small minority of patriots were trying, while the American war raged, to bully the king into doing something for their country. The second Sir John was a colonel in the volunteers of 1782. This col- onel’s son was an active politician all his life. It was upon a*motion of his that the Peel ministry was thrown out upon the accession of William IV. He became a high oflice-holder under Grey and then under Melbourne, and in 1841 was transferred to the Upper House as Baron Congleton. HE BECAME A MADMAN.
Whether the taint was hereditary or not is unknown, but the form was the same as the madness fof the poor parson. Its violent spasms were suicidal. He had to be watched continually, and when one day his guard was momentarily out of sight, he sent a bullet through his brain. The brother of this suicide was grandfather of Charles Stewart Parnell. His father inherited many of the mental traits of his stock, and his melancholy developed into pulmonary consumption. Other imem- vers of the same generation are noted for oddity not amounting to mania, but constitut- ing them a carious study for the genealogist. One of their peculiarities is not to live together after the common mode of families. It is one of the popular sayings that two Parnell’s are never to be found together. It will be remembered that when the two interesting and gifted young sisters were in New York in early land league days, they managed rival headquarters. The mother held aloof from both, and when they were in New York she chose to reside at Bordentown. When Anna came over to Ireland, Fannie went to Borden- town to die of heart disease, and her mother remained in New York for some time operating on the stock exchange to “her ruin and the embarrassment of her son, Charles Stewart Parnell. That she had been on the verge of mental unsoundness for some years is firmly believed. As soon as she arrived in Ireland a few months ago, Anna, who had lived there for four years, was found to have gone to the Continent, and a son, who spends some time in the Southern States and some time here, whenever no other member of the family happens to be about, disappeared from Avon- dale about the time Mrs. Parnell arrived here.
The story about
TTIHE AFFECTIONATE MEETING OF THE MOTHER,
the illustrious son, and the noted daughter at their ancestral place was unfortunately not true. Mr. Parnell was gravely ill in the house of Capt. O'Shea, in Kent, when his mother reached Liverpool. Much to the an- noyance of ali friends of the movement here, she made at once a foolish and ridiculous speech at a public meeting, and when she reached Dublin, unattended, the active execu- tive of the national league politely put her on board the train for Wicklow, with the intima- tion, thus far obeyed, that her services on the platform in Ireland were not likely todo any
ood, however kindly they had been tolerated
y her countrymen in America. Anna Par- nell had done subst:.ntial service in the cause
brother and the other leaguers were in Kilmainham. But she never forgave Charles Stewart Parnell for accepting a parole from that pri- son, and they have never since exchanged any but the coldest greetings There has been much censure bestowed upon Mr. Parnell for his adhesion to the O’Sheas. The truth put his course concerning them in a better light. Their house has been his asylum. Homeless, with no one of his blood to nurse his declining health or strengthen spirits never gay, he has naturally clung to the friends whose private friendship by common consent became a thing totally apart from politics, O’Shea’s recreancy to the Irish party is beyond defence, but is not without explanation. He had no natural alliance with it. ‘The realization of its aims would be his ruin or at least his expatriation. He is one of the wretched gentry whose for- tunes, never large, have dwindled to almost nothing, and who, being aristocrats in every- thing but estates, would have no place in Ire- land after she became a practical democracy.
while her
—**half-mounted gentlemen,” every inch of them,” and ‘‘gentlemen to the backbone.” To the first belongs Capt. O’Shea, and his hopes for reward under the crown ley in the triumph of the liberals by means of Parnellite allies. It was he who managed
THE RELEASE OF THE KILMAINHAM PRISONERS,
thus rendering a service to Parnell, while it is idle to deny that a service was also believed to have been rendered to the liberals. Par- nell’s subsequent career disposes of the infer- ence that if any understanding existed, it was not one involving the independence of his party or the honor of his country ; but O'Shea believes to this day that he accomplished a feat of diplomacy surpassing anything in the achievements of Mirabeau or Gortchakoff. It is also currently asserted that at one time Capt. O'Shea procured from Joseph Chamber- lain an important courtesy with Mr. Parnell’s knowledge, and that in thrusting him upon an Irish constituency Mr. Parnell was discharg- ing a de»t of honor tothe member for Bir- mingham. In failing to vote for the home rule bill Capt. O'Shea claimed that he was bound first to Chamberlain by personal rea- sons, but his perfidy to Ireland was the end of his public life, It did not, except briefly, embarrass the private relations of Mr. Parnell with Capt. O'shea’s family. He soon resumed his lodgings in their house, and his comings and goings were as_ silent, as solitary, and as unaccountable as if he devoted all his faculties to self
concealment. It is literally true;that even ina crisis of the highest magnitude members of
The Irish divide the gentry into three classes | ‘** gentlemen |
He comprehended all the business before the house, and mastered its rules. He never be- came an orator, but he acquired the power of making short speeches of pith and moment. He was generally accurate and concise.
HE WAS ALWAYS COURAGEOUS
and usually courteous. When the fighting weeks arrived during the period of obstruc- tion his endurance was not as great as that of some of his colleagues, but his determination never weakened. He went into Kilimanham apparently robust. He came out of it an al- tered man. It is believed by those who know him best thata mild form of melancholia was developed during his confinement, and that this was directly due to the cruelty and moral outrage, the bad air and want of exercise in separable from his confinement. And it will not be forgotten that it was Gladstone who imprisoned him for saying the very truths which Gladstone is teaching as gospel to Eng- land to-day! The change in Parnell’s health after his release was manifested chiefly ir the change of his habits. His former industry be- came chronic languor. His old-time zeal took on the form of habitual indifference. The industry that had accomplished so much in organizing forces in Ireland and in pressing facts upon the gradually quickening conscious- ness of England, became culpable neglect. Although he has a secretary provided out of the funds so generously supplied from Amer- ica, letters to him remained wnanswered de- finitely, and he would not take the trouble to open telegrams, or, when opened for him, to send replies. The frankness with which he was wont to consult his colleagues became frigid reserve. It had been the rule of the party regularly to meet, freely to discuss, and independently to vote upon proposals, the de- cision of the majority being final as to any matter. This practice fell into abeyance,and the personal will of Mr. Parnell succeeded as the sole guide of a party which American tunds en- larged from a dozen to eighty-six. He show- ed some evidence of old-time fire on occasions
WHEN THE FURY OF UNREASON
was loosened in London by the death of Burke and Cavendish, he wore an aspect of sombre sympathy, but he also wore weapons which,
had he been personally attacked, would have amply defended him. When at a public meet-
ing his clothing was almost torn off by
brutal political opponents,he kept his temper,
but when one of them struck an old maa near
him he leaped from the platform and deliver-
ed upon the neck of the ruffiana blow which sent his body to the ground, because the old man reminded him of John Martin. When Forster, in impotent rage, made him the tar-
get for the most exasperating attack ever de.
livered in the house since the days of O’Con-
nell used to turn Disraeli on his spit, Parnell
remained tranquil as a summer cloud, and proved his metal by discharging at the next
sitting upon his disgraced joe an electric storm
which he must have been calmly generating
while the hero of buckshot believed he was
driving him from public life. Meanwhile,
although for two years he has done little sys-
tematic work, he was believed to be all power-
ful ; surrounded, like Homeric deities mingl-
ing in battle, by a cloud that concealed him
from the vision of mortals, he has been called
the man of mystery. His silence in the house and his absence from the platform ‘have been
taken for proof that in the secluded chamber he is working out Ireland’s destiny,and by the
invisibe pressure of his mind compelling events
to his wili. Rather all this time should he
have been called the man of misery. It is now
more than four years since his real foe dis-
closed his deadly warnings—Bright’s disease. ’ He has no pulmonary consumption. He is not
insane. Nobody who knows him well attaches
the slightest importance to his pedigree of
disease. But the malady which defies medi-
cal skill and is scarcely within medical know-
ledge has been doing its slow but dreadful work, and it is known of it that it so involves the entire physical organization that its vic- tims, before its features are fully revealed, ave supposed to be going into consumption, to be suffering with heart disease, and to be falling into nervous decay resembling incipient in-
sanity.
High License in New York,
The following is the scale of fees pro- vided by the High License bill now under consideration in the New York Legislature | for the sale of liquors in New York city ‘and Brooklyn:
1. To sell liquor of any kind to be drunk. on the premises, not less than $1,000.
2. To seil malt liquors, cider and wine to be drunk on the premises, not less than $500.
3. To sell malt liquors and cider to be drunk on the premises, not less than $100.
4. To sell malt liquors of any kind not to | be drunk on the premises, not less than $100.
5. To sell malt liquors, cider and wine not to be drunk on the premises, not less than $25.
6. To druggists an@ apothecaries to sell liquor of any kind for medicinal, mechanical jand chemical purposes, not less than $10
The advocates of the bill claim for it that it would shut up half of the saloons in the two cities, and the worst half; that it , would reduce the number of resorts for criminals and diminish the temptation of ithe poor; that the police, having only half as many saloons to look after, could watch (them more closely; and that the licensees ‘would aid in the enfercement of the law against illegal selling. It is to be feared, however, that the sixth clause would have a tendency to enormously increase the num- ber of drug stores.
———- | The Canadian Pacific authorities are to be heartily congratulated upon their efficient telegraph system, which did really fine work in reporting the election returns. The first news of the election was brought by their wires, giving the results in Quebec city before six o'clock, and from that hour until two next morning they kept furnish ing the returns in advance of their competi- tors from all parts except the Maritime
Provinces.-—Montreal Witness.
Many Michigan cities am! towns have abandoned standard time, and it is thought the Legislature will repeal the law that
authorized its adgption.
