Irish Industries.

On logical grounds the fair trade party in England is bound to aid Parnell in ‘his plea for the re-establishment. of Trish maoufaetures. Irish ‘manv-

factures aud commerce were crushed!

cut by tyrannical and harsh com- mercial laws made by England. -The linen industry, of which Belfast is the centre, is the only Irish industry that has survived the prohibitory enactments pass- ed by the British parliament in the bad jold days, and it has flourished simply because the soil of Ulster is specially adapted to flax-growing. In the reign of'| | Elizabeth the Irish cattle-drovers supplied the English markets with cheap beef, but the trade was suppressed at the in

‘stance of the Euglish farmers. Then the Irish took to exporting the hides of the cattle which they dared not ship, and that also was forbidden by act of parlia- ment. William III. deliberately killed the Irish woollen trade; and in the reigus of the first three Georges the Trish cetton trade and the Irish trade with the colonies were sum- marily burked. Parliament yieldiag to the clamar of the English protectionists of that day. Cork was once the centre of a great trade in cottons, calicoes and woollens, but to-day there is nothing left save a few half-starved weavers, driving their shuttles in the hand-loom. The shipping that plied between Cork and

Galway and the East and West Indies was destroye* by an act virtually prohib- iting foreign and colenial trade in Irish bottoms.

The New York “Tribune” says: That Ireland would be peculiarly bene- fitted by the development of home indus- tries requires little argument. A coun- try wich is exposed to periodical famines by the failure of successive harvests is the cne of all others to have a population irained in various employments. The diversification of national industries, which was systematically obstructed gen- eration after generation, would. have ren- dered the island as prosperous as it is now unfortuuate.— World.

The Romance of Arithmetic.

‘* The most romantic of all numbers,” says a writer in ‘‘Chambers’ Journal,” is the figure nine, because it can’t be multi- plied away, or got rid cf anyhow. What- ever you do, it is as sure to turn up again as was the baby of Eugene Aram's vic- tim. One remarkable property of this

Preserving Sugar, Preserve Pans, Preserve Jars and Crocks, etc., ete,, figure, (said to have been discovered by

W. Green, who died in 1794) is, that all through the multiplicat‘on table the product of uine comes to nive. Multiply by what you like and it gives the same result. Begin with twice nine, 18; add the digits together, and 1 and 8 make 9, Three times nine are 27; 2 and 7 make 9. So it goes on up to eleven times nine, which gives 99. Very good: add the digits; 9 and 9 are 18, and 1 and 8 are 9. Going on to any extent, it is impos- sible to get rid of the figure 9. Take a couple of instances at random. Three hundred and thirty-nine times nine are 3,051 ; add up the figures and they give 9. Five thousand and seventy-one times nine are 45,739 ; the sum of these digits is 27; and 2 and 7 are 9. M.de Mai- van found out another queer thing about this number, namely, that if you take any vow of figures, and reversing their order, make a subtraction sum of it, the total is sure to make 9. For ex- ample : Take 5,071

Reverse figures 1,705

-<—_- German Views on the Speech of Gambetta.

. The North German Gazette says a portion of Gambetta’s speech at Belleville, in which he said : ‘‘ I hope to see the day when our separated brethren will once more be united to France,” contains fresh and unmistak- able reference to Alsace-Lorraine, with the intention of describing the present state of affairs as merely provisional. The Gazette adds : ‘*‘ We regret that Gambetta, in the prominent position he now occupies, never allows a year te pass witheut exciting afresh by public speeches the feelings of the French nation against Germany and the stutus quo, thereby showing his anxiety to be regarded by his countrymen as one who devoted himself to the life-long task of effecting the realization of French pro- jeets of revenge. We sincerely wish to foster and strengthen friendly relations with France, and shall therefore eombat every attempt to represent them as pro visional.

‘he death rate in New York for the first seven montlis of the year is largely in ex- cess of that of the same period of 1880. It might have been supposed that this un- favorable exhibit was owing to the severity, of the winter weather, but the .truth is ihaf the increase of mortality arises from a notable development of what are known as zymotic diseases Diphtheria, typhus, typhoid and small-pox are largely in excess, while that great destroyer of infant fives, scarlet fever, has increased five-fold. Ali this means defective ventilation, over- crowding in their ‘‘ tenements,” the pres- ence of sewer-gas in the houses, and in geveral terms, dirt in some form or other.

CLIPPINGS,

The Russian Minister of the Interior is credited with the intention of estab- lishing official control over all the Rus- sian grain markets, so as to prevent speculators gaining unduly trom the pro- ductive power of the people.

Sir Stafford Northeote has publicly ex- pressed his belief that before twelve months have elapsed the United King- dom will have a general election,. The result, he says, will aifect the future of the empire. The Conservatives are anxious for an appeal to the people, for they are confident of succéss,

Tidings have been received of Prof. Macoun,who is on av exploratory survey of Lake Winnipeg, oasis, and tributary. He was at Swan Lake house on the 12th July, after exploring the salt regions, Water Hen river and viciuity. The country is pronounced rugged and pic- turesque, with some fertile speta, and with lakes and rivers teeming with fish,

The position in Afghanistan may thus be summarised :— Two policies were open to the English Government. They might have either adopted an attitude of strict neutrality atter placing Abdurrah- man Khan on the throne, or ‘they might have held on to Candahar until he had thoroughly consolidated his authority everywhere. They did neither, and the consequence is that Ayoub Khan is now in Candahar, and the people of India re- gard the star of Russia as in the ascend- ant.

In the course of an exhaustive review on the harvest in the United Kingdom, the London ** Standard” sums up the situation thus: ‘* Whatever may be the case in Ireland, English and Scotch farmers have uot a yreat return to expect as the result of this year’s expenditure ard labor. If prices should not be too low, wheat and barley are likely to be remunerative crops; but light crops of hay, oats. beans, and roots make up a heavy set off. For stock-farmers, pros- pects are not encouraging, as winter feed can searcely fail to be short. They, however, have had the best of it iately, and it is the farmers of arable land whe most need a turn of good fortune.”

Chiswick House, the beautiful Italian villa of the Duke of Devoushire on the banks of the Thames, is to be pulled down. ‘The house is historical as being the place where both Charles James Fox and George Canning died. and, by a strange coiueidence, both statesmen died in the same room. Georgina, Duchess of Devonshire, known to milliners as the first wearer of the Gainsborough hat, here held court and ruled the politics of the hour. Hogarth was once a constant visitor at the Chiswick House, and lies buried close to the garden wall. The celebrity given to Chiswick was by the Prince of Wales, who hired it for two seasons,

A case came before the Clitheroe mag- istrates recently revealed the existence of an odd Laucashire custom. Once a year the villagers of Chipping go throngh the ceremony of electing as imaginary Mayor the man who has disiinguished himself by getting ‘* most drunk.” He is placed upon a chair, and a procession, headed by two intoxicated cornet-players, and carrying mops, firearms, and painted sticks, is formed. The police sum- moned two men for taking part in the ceremony, as it was likely to create a disturbance. ‘The cases were, however, dismissed, and one of the magistrates re- marked that he * approved of these old customs.”

News from Peru announces that the Chilians have been routed in an engage- ment in the vicinity of Pisco, forty-two leagues south of Lima. It is said that Pierola is at Ayacuao with 7,000 Ara- quipanos. Campero will be in the field with 10,000 troops, and Montero, now in the north of Peru, has a strong force which is daily increasing. Many fights have taken place between the Chilians and Peruvians in Lima. In some of them the Chilians have been worsted. How long this state of affairs will coutinue it is hard to conjecture. Garcia Calderon, it is announced, intends resigning. Two- thirds of the Cabinet have tendered their resignations, and its thought that if peace is made, the only person allowed to enter into terms will be Pierola.

Beriveau AbertitE and O11 Com- pany.—An adjourned meeting of the stockholders of the Beliveau Albertite and Oil Company was held at the Wel- don House yesterday. Among the sub- jects for consideration was the propriety of undertaking the manufacture” of oil from shale, aud a good deal of informa- tion bearing on the question was sub- mitted by E. B. Chandler, Esq., one of principal promoters of the project. It was thought best, however, to take no action at present, as further information ts needed upon some important points. The discussion of this subject and the passing of an order to collect unpaid as- sessments on stock, to enabie the Direct-
