MISERABLE HOMES IN THE BOG SWAMPS OF . CAHERNAKELLY.
A correspondent of the Press in Ireland, swamps of Cahernakelly I found three fam- ilies of hard-working people at a distance of about a quarter to half mile apart. My visit was at night. Not one cabin had alight. None of the people had been to church for ten years for want of decent clothes. Not one of them had a change, and all the females had but one garment each—a coarse, patched woollen dress. Tle only food any of them hes is Indian meal, and they do not have enongh of that. @ne family of seven have been to bed several nights within the week fasting.
They all have a little land, but it is bog and won’t prodtice; besides, the times since 1879 have been so bad that they are not not able to get seed tosow. In each case their fathers have been living on the land before them, one forty and one sixty years back. When, by toiling and draining and clearing of bog, the land was so that it would raise a little crop, the agent rackrent- ed them,
The first house was that of Michael Hannify. He had eight children. A pig- sty is walled offin one end of the cabin, and a chicken coop in the other. Both are empty. Boards are laid over the tops of them, and on them, with very scant straw, sleep the family. The father and boys sleep over the pig-style, and the ,irl on the shelf over the coop. She hasa whisp of straw between two poles, and there she sleeps, eiibpat any cover but the dress she wears.
ow, k you, it is even difficnlt and
often impossible for these people to have straw enough to lie on. The ‘horse fares far better. ~Hannify has nine acres, for fwhich he had to pay £9 5s. Thomas Whelon has seven in hie family. He has a goat and a donkey. The goat gives milk for the Indian meal stir-about, which his neighbors can not have, Instead of sleeping on a shelf he has a room where the chicken-coop in Hannify’s is. TI saw the bed, dirty straw and old sacks for shects with one filthy blanket for cover. He has three and one-half acres for £3. He has been forty years on the place, and the land even yet is not fully reclaimed. It has taken two and three, and sometimes four generations to reclaim a few acres of bog land. He has one rood of potatoes sow
Philadelphia
seed he could get,
T. Reilly’s hodse is worst of all. The front wall is bulging, and the turf-sod roof is held up by three poles from within. He is delicate. He has a wife and eight child- ren, and only one acre and a-half of ground. When I entered this house the family was standing around’ a small plate of Indian meal stir-about, without sugar, butter, or milk. When it was gone a little child, far from satisfied, said :—‘‘Mamma, is there no more in the pot?’ “No, Alanna, there is not,” was the sad response. These people have not s raw, They sleep on green rushes, which I saw with my own eyes.
During the summer these families earn two shillings a day. When that is over and cold winter comes they have no other prospect than to starve. They seem to realize their sad plight. Their vacant stare of hopelessness was heart-rendering.
It was ten o'clock at night, dark, and raining, when I left this sad abode. Out- side the door, to my surprise, were two police. They followed us from there all the way to the main road and on as far as their barracks. They had been eaves- dropping.

A Terrible Ride. HANGING FROM A BALLOON BY TWO FINGERS —DRAGGED FOUR MILES THROUGH THE AIR.
At Royon on Gironde there was, on Friday last, a scene perhaps unprecedented in the annals of ballooning’ M. Gratein, a well-known aeronaut, was about to make his ascent in a hot air balloon, called La Vidouvillaise. Mlle. Albertine, heroine of several balloon ascents, was seated in the car, and M. Gratien was holding in his right hand a loose coil tied on one of the cords that served to attach the balloon. The balloon unexpectedly broke loose, and the cord unrolling itself with lightning rapidity caught in asort of knot around the first and second fingers of Gratien’s right hand,and he was immediately whisked off into the air 600 meters high. In vain he tried to haul himself up on the cord and loop it over his arm. After frantic efforts he became exhausted and hung at the end of the cords, suspended solely by his two fingers, and suffering excrutiating agony, owing to the jerking of the balloon and the cord, which cut like a razor through the flesh to the bone. In that situation Gratien was carried a dis- tance of nearly four miles, at a height of 600 metres above the earth. Mlle. Alber- tine, overcome by the horror of the situation, fainted away, and sank helpless to the bottem of the car. As the air in the bal- loon became cool the balloon descended, but bumped against the earth in the midst of a dense mass of thorny shrubbery. Gratien was not only stripped of his clothes, but his skin was literally torn in strips from his body, as he was dragged for nearly half a mile through thorny brambles. Finally, some peasants managed to cut the cord. Gratien appeared to be a mass of wounds, and to be near bleeding to death. Strange to say he did not lose consciousness for a single instant. He suffered no internal injury, and although his condition is critical, he will probably recover. When the rope was cut and the balloon was freed from the weight of Gratien’s body, it again rose in the air, carrying off Mlle. Alber- tine. By singular good fortune it soon landed in a marsh, and mademoiselle at last stood on terra firma. She was sorely distressed in mind, and badly scared, but otherwise eafe and sound.

Stanley I, King of Congo.
FOLLOWING THE EXAMPLE OF HISTORY IN FOUNDING AN EMPIRE,
From “ Italie.” If we are to believe telegrams from Am- sterdam, Stanley is signing treaties with the petty kings on both banks of the Congo At least he signs them; as for tne African monarchs, as they never learned to write, they make@ mark at the bottom of the parchment. We must acknowledge that Stanley 1. is acting very correctly from a diplomatic point of view; his treaties are drawn up in French, which, as is well known, is the diplomatic language, and are countersigned by his deputy, named Walk, who probably exercises the functions of of keeper of the seals on the banks of ‘the Congo. One of these treaties, passed with King Jongo de Selo, recognizes the sever- ignity of the Comte d'Etudes du Congo, that is to say, with Stariley. After that - promising commencement, ~the treaty stipulates a series of privileges to Stanley and the committee. (1) The right to trade and reside in the country. (2) Obligation to furnish laborers, etc. In’'re- turn for which Mr. Stanley and the com- mittee engage to pay to Jongo and his de- scendants an annual pension of two pieces of cloth. A similar treaty was passed with the king, or a king, of Manvanga. One of Mr. Stanley's aides-de-camp was thus able to say, with a little adaptation of the facts :— **We are now masters of all the country be- tween Manyanga and. Stanley Pool.’’ These were probably the treaties alluded to in a despatch from Lisbon, which states that they have caused some surprise, as Stanley represents, no constituted Govern- ment. Stanley is, indeed; only the re- presentative of an International Geographi- cal Association, but it was probably for that reason, and to meet objections, that he hastened to form a Government of his own. As chief of his own Government he can make annexations, and later on he will get his Government and his annexations re- cognized. It is said, besides, that the new king has no idea of making his subjects happy in the usual manner—that is to say, by granting them constitutional liberties. As a former journalist, he knows what these are worth and feels, no doubt, a ¢ertain contempt for the liberties of the people he defended when he was a part of the people himself. A letter we have be- fore us says, in fact :—‘‘Stanley is..of, a ate and violent disposition, aecis- tomed to command despotically, and treats thé natives of the Upper Congo as wild beasts. is Zanzibarians, besides, are armed with breech-loaders, which have a most perstiasivé power, and he exercises the right be clams with revolting brutality. ‘Why,’ an old negro chief was asked, ‘did you sell your territory to Stanley ?, He gave you scarcely anything for it, and he sells it very dear to others.’ ‘I am afraid that it true,’ said the old negro.”” That is how empires are founded—by fear» and Stanley has only followed the «xamples of history. :

A Manitoba Romance.
COURTSHIP AND BETROTHAL OF A COUPLE WHO HAD NEVER SEEN EACH OTHER, The Washmngton Star has the following account of a romantic marriage. Last evening the neat litile Grace Episcopal church. South Washington, was filled to overflowing to witness the wedding of Mr. Peter McCalmon, of the province of Mani- toba, and Miss Lizzie A. Gabriel, of this city. There isa little romance connected with these parties. The groom lives, as stated, in the province of Manitoba, where the bride has a married sister living. Through the sister the groom, about four years ago, heard of Miss Gabriel, and a correspondence was commenced, during which, notwithstanding they had never seen each other, their feelings toward each others became more than simply friendly. The hearts of the writers glowed with love. Portraits were exchanged, and minute descriptions were given of each other. The result was that a few months ago they be- came engaged to be married, on condition that there was no change of feeling after personal interview. ‘The young lady in the meantime made preparations to take a leave of absence. The groom about the first of the month arrived here. Being desirous of seeing the lady, he wrote a note to her, which she failed to receive until Monday of last week, when she promptly sent him directions to find her place of residence on Missouri-avenue, and he called that even- ing. The chains of love, woven throvgh the art of the mails, were more firmly rivetted at this meeting. The young lady’s friends were highly pleased with the gentleman. The result was that the couple concluded that it was useless to wait longer, and pre- parations were at once made for the wed- ding, which took place last evening. While the ceremony was being performed some mischievous boys tied a string of tin cans under the carriage, and such a din was made as they drove away that the horses were badly frightened, and it was with difficulty that they were restrained.
