Garibaldi at the, l'antineon--AL contrast.
(An Original Poem, Written for the Globe.)
Ashes to ashes be the hero laid
Beneath the gray old temple's glorious shade,
Where to all god -like" great Agrippa's dome
Still gives asylum in what once was Itome!
There let the patriot, soldier, statesman. rest,
After long strife, upon earth's quiet breast.
- Oh, Garibaldi. speaks no message here
To us, heart -kindled at thy grand career?
No type of statesmanship, high -purposed, pure,
Which nations need whose nationhoods endure ?
No "party chieftain" of thy land wort thou,
Tobribe for office with unblushing brow;
by hands were clean; rio ecancial taints thy
name,
As dear to Art and Culture as to Fame..
Notthine to scorn all nobler aims, to sneer
At Song and Letters with a bax-roona leer;
Or when with thy misdeeds the nation rang,
To meet its loud accusing voice with slang;
In tavern orgies Party ends promote, -
And Atheist -hearted, court the Church's vote.
Thine own State's boundaries did'st Thou de,
faco
To win supporters from an alien race?
'Or stoop to sell to capitalist greed
The broad, rIati acres which the people need?
No! Small similitude shall History see
Between our Gerrymandering Chief and thee!
PARNELL, THE LADIES AND THE BISHOPS,
Review of the Week's Work on
Irish Affairs.
ADDRESS OF THE IRISH BISHOPS:
A London cablegram, dated Sunday,
• says: The interest of Londoners during the
week has been divided between Ascot and
Westminster. Society adjourned from
London to the royal heath to witness the
contests of some of the finest thoroughbrede
in „England for rich prizes, while the faith-
ful Commons continued from day to day
their discussion in oommittee on the Pre-
vention of Crime in Ireland Bill. The Re-
pression Act grinds its slow way through
the committee debates, with dry discus-
sions on law points which threaten -to grow
interminable. If ever the Governmeht
hoped to get their new Coeroion Act paesed'
in a hurry that hope naust now begin to
vanish. There are already over a
hundred amendments down on the
paper, and as ,there is practically
no limit to the number of amendment e and
new clauses that may be proposed the
Government may well regard the future
with something like dismay. So far there
has been admirable temper hownon both
sides; except in a short passage of arnie
between the member for Roscommon and
Mr. Forster, when Mr: O'Kelly, having
characterized Mr. Forster's utterance. as'
"an infernal speech," was only saved frona
the clock tower by withdrawing :the' offen-
sive phrase. Still the temper on both
sides is becoming sour; and probably before
the end of next week there will be a direct
conflict between the Parnellites and the
Government. At the same tinae public
opinion in England is growing very strong
agaiest the Prevention of Crime Bill as
being far. too despotic and wide -reaching.
This makes it difficult for the Government
to bring their heavy battalions to bear on
the Irish party, who are further protected
by the difficulty of interfering with the
liberty of debate in committee. u
Mr. Davitt's speeches have caused a good'
deal of comment. • English politicians note'
with satisfaation the wide divergence of
opinion among the Land League leaders.
Mr. Davitt and Mr. Brennan have hoisted
the flag of the nationalization of land,.
while Mr. Parnell and his parliamentary
followers keep the peasant proprietary
banner flying. Mr..Davitt tells us that it
• amounts to the same thing, and that there
is no difference between himselfeaad Mr.
Parnell -a -Some -one -is-evidently talking
with two voices, and politicians are asking
what it all means.' In state of Mr. Davitt's
denial, there 'aria various indicaticins that
we axe on the apaiat of a serioue divergence,
if not of a division in the Land League
ranks, ana the apparently • harmless
announcenatant made • by Mr. Davitt
in Cork that one of the objects of his
trip is to' colleet funds for Miss Parnell,
is regarded as an indication that an
effort -will befinade to create a fund over.
which Mr. Parnell shall have no control
under color of assisting the Ladies' Land'.
League. Hitherto the chief part of the
ladies' fund has come from the Lana League
treasury, and -it is an open secret that
there have :been some warm pa.s.sages
between.the two executives SS to the proper
'way to use the- fund. The ladiee are
known to be very advanced politicians, and
as they are mostly young, and by no means
bad looking, they exercise no . slight
• kiltlence over the young and warm-hearted
land leaguers. . As there a is • reason` to
, believe' that they look .favorably on the
nationalization of land scheme, there,
may be ' some conneatien between
this -fact sdthe--suggestiona-of---an-
independent fund. A good story is
circulating about the Ladies' League and
Mr. Parnell, to the effect that in an, inter-
view between him and the Ladies' Lama.-
' tive he found himself fiercely' attacked for
lowering the Land Leagae flag by con-
eenting to the, intrcduction of Mr. Rede
mond's Bill for the ameridmeet of the
Land Act. Mr. Parnell, in his cool way,
listened until the ladiee had exhausted
their denunciations, and then he asked if
any of them had read tbe Bill. They wete
obliged to confess that they bad. not. 'This
incident is too utterlyfeminine not to be
The shooting -of Mr. Bourke and; his
escort produced a • profound sensation
in the House. When th'e news
was first whispered about there was
something like consternation among the
members, who assured each other that this
was an additional proof that nothing.but
strong measures would bring peace to, Ire-
land. It bas undoubtedly made.the Gov-
ernnaent more resolute in -its refusal to
raodify the Prevention of Crime Bill
despite the arguments and appeals of the
Irish members. It also brought about a
painful and dramatic scene: •Mr. Bourke's
brother called at the House to learn the
latest news about the. rumor of his brother's
assassination; while walkina down the
lobby of the Houge with, a Mr. G. 0.
Trevelyan he came upon. Messrs.Parnell,
Justin McCarthy and Biggar. When Mr.
Bourke, who was laboring under great
exciternent, saw the three mei:alters ho
exclaimed, " Parnell, this is your fault."
The Irish leader paid no attention to the
remark. Mr. Bourke then addreesed Mr.
Biggar threateningly, calling out, "You
will pay for this; your' turn will come some
day." Mx. Trevelyan put an end to this
painful scene by taking Mk. Bourke by the
arm and leaditg him away.; [
The, Irish bishops have issuecl an address
to theiralocks pronaising.the suaport of the
clergy to the people in peacefully agitating
for their rights, but condenaning ae the
Worst enemies to thercountry the Men who
recommended illegal courses, particularly
those belonging to secret eocieties.
The bishops •condemn the recent hor-
rible murders, but believe they wore due to
evictions, which it is the duty of the
Government to stop at any cost. The
bishops point out that what is rnorailly
wrong cannot be politically right. It is the
'
indisputable right of the •Irish to live on
their own seal; it is the right, and often the
duty, of those oporeesed either by the State
or individuals, ;to seek redress by lawful
means. On these grounds the national
movement has the approval of the priests
and bishops, and even of the Pope, and all
auk and generous men, withoat distinction
.of race or creed. But it is ncitorious that
the means often employed are utterly out
of order. The address specifies -the means
as " refusing to pay just debt, preventing
payment by others, injuring neighbors in
person or property, forcibly resisting law,
forming secret societies and obeying the
orders thereof. 'Under each of these
heads numerous offences have been com-
mitted, fea,tfully prominent amongst
them being hideous murders, which
even at the present moment
disgrace our couritry and provoke the anger
of God and His Church. We declare it is
lour duty to regard as the worst enemy
of our creed and countrynaen those who
would recommend the commission of any
one of the above-nanaed ;offences. We
appeal to all to have no connection with
secret societies, but to -oppose them as hos-
tile to religion and freedom. Lotus assure
you that the national movement, purged of
what is criminal, shall have the earnest
support of the clergy. A oonsidera,ble
instalment of justice has, been, within the
last feaaa years, conceded to the tenant
armersabutato -them -and -other-classes,
particularly larborere, much more is due.
It is the duty of the clergy and the people
to press their claims in every peaceable
and just manner, but the clergy
can countena,nee no illegal means
•nor dissension. The bishops express
the 'belief that the late orinaes would
never have occurred if the people bad not
been driven to despair by evictions, justly
described by the Premier . as sentences of
'death, and whichmust be fatal and nar-
manent piovecatives of crimes,- to whialiat
is the duty of the Government to put a etop
as speedily as possible at any cost. The
address is eigned by Cardinal McCabe,
Archbishop ,McGettigan, Primate of Ire-
land, Archbishop Croke, Bishop Nulty and
twenty-one others.

Extraordinary Itevelonments in the New
• Oil Field.
A despatch from Bradford, Pa..,says: The excite-
ment over the discovery of the new -oil- field in
-warren County, this State, is on the increase.. It
began abdut May '20th, when " 616 " 'began pour-
ing out 1,000 barrels, more or less, daily. Since
then the Murphy well has been struck, which
flows about900,barrels per day, Lind the Cadwal-
lader -christened "The King of Gushers" -has
• opened up with some 1,500 barrels per day. Fif-
teen other wells in the immediate vicinity are
well under waY,.and what the result will be, not
only on the City of Garfield, but on the oil mar-
ket at large, is 'awaited with anxiety. Mean-
while sPeculation is at fever heat. Land
about Garfieldiwhich could have been bought
two weeks -ago for $5 au acre has since sold for
$1,000 an acre: Chris.. Larsen. who 'owned .the
farm on vvhich."616"-Was struck, cleared, it is said,
$16,000 the first „Week, and is now cursing his
fool's hick for rselling so Cheap. On the main
street of Garfield lots sell at $15 a front foot and,'
eVen more. The kettest hotel feeds 200guests 111
ameal and is' to be greatly enlarged, while tent
hotels' and restaurants are going up on all sides.
The yield of the new district is not far from
4,000 barrels•daily, With a reasonable certainty of
being doubled br quadrupled within a fortnight.
The effect of this is, of course, to send oil down
to a figure so low that many of the wells in the
old territory tire no longer renannerative and will
'have to be abandoned. Operators predict' that
oil will sell at 40 cents a barrel 'within the next

A Quebec telegrarn. of last (Sunday) night says:
One of the most thrilling accidents which have
occurred in this district for many years. pcnit
occurred at Montmorency Falls abotit 6 o!clock
• last evening. A countryman, aged 65. named
Laberge, residing atLange Gardien was driving
• his daughter, a; Mrs. Richard, in a two -wheeled
country cart from the market at Quebec When the
horse, at young; ispirited and but partially trained
beast, took fright at the top of the hill before,
reaching the falls, and -despite theefforts of the
old man, bcicame unmanageable, and by, some
means got his leg over the. shaft and ran away.
When.Mr 'Laberge saw the position of affairs -
he used.every effort to control the anithal, but
all.without avail; for the horse made7 a bee lino
for the • left-hand side of the bridge; dashed
against the railing'at the side, the force of the
blow smashinglit in twain and falling with the
car* and woman intolhe water some twenty
feet below, all immediately sinking in the water;
the old.than being thrown out of the vehicle by
the force of the concussion, and barely escaping
being, alsd precipitated into the water. The
woman's husband -is at present in Ottavia, where
he obtained work for the -summer time. She
leavesa family of six:small children, An acci-
• dent similar to this occurred some, fifteen years

A. One Billion Dollar Fire -Wholesale
Buildinge Destroyed.
A Montreal despatch dated last (Tues-
day) night says: A fire broke out this
evening at 10.30 in the upper .at of the
large warehouse of Robert Miller & Co.,
wholesale stationers, Victoria square. It
soon communicated -to the lower flats, and
the sparks from the rear part of the bead-
ing set fire to the warehouse of Messrs.
Shaw, furniture dealers. Fortunately no
wind was blowing at the time, and a stream
of water disposed of the fire in Shaw's flat.
Afterwards a flat of Miller's took fire, until
at length the whole warehouse was in
flames. Meantime the cornice and tar
roof of the building carried fire to the
wholesale dry goods. 'warehouse of
Messrs. Greenshields, San & Co., and W.
Clenaenning & Co., on either • side of
Mika's. These warehouses took fire and
burned downwards, the firemen being
unable to do more than confine the flames
to the buildings. _The only one of the four
handsome buildings now safe (1.30 a.m.) is
the store of McIntyre, French & Co. It is
a question •whether the firemen will do
more than save it. Several narrow escapes
occurred, one especially remarkable. Three
firemen Were on a Skinner ladder, when a
heavy cornice came down with a ton or
more of the brick packing. A cry of horror
arose- fronaatens -ofetheusands-of -ordoolsersn
but changed to a roar of triumph as the
flames shooting upward -revealed the men
on the ladders untouched. Messrs. Miller
had a full stock of goads in plain and fancy
stationery, and the loss must come well
upon 5200,000; insured in part. Messrs.
Greeiashield were carrying over a large
quantity of spring goods, and had a heavy
stock of fall goods housed; the bees will be
between 5300,000 and 5400,000, the inEur-
awe() being distributed over all the British
companies. Mr. W. Clendenning-e loss will
be in stoves and ironware, and will likely
reach 5400,000. The building was owned
by W. Clendenieing, and the loss thereon
cannot be far short of 5200,000. The total
loss thus Inc may be safely set down at
about 51,000,000. What it may reaoh it is
.impossible now to say. At this moment
news comes of a large fire at Point St.

A Novel Steam En,uinc.
Scores of Masten_ mechanics, naiinufac:
i
turers, 'inventors; engineers and others
interested in mach. nary, and particularly
in steam engines, are vieiting a shop in
this city, attracted by the novelty of a new
and remarkable steam engine, invented by
-
Chester B. Turner; -of - this city. This
engine appears, even to many experienced
• engineers, a sort tif mechanical paradox.
With but one; crank, with two cylinders
oast in one piece, only one valve -chest, anal.
the entire engine as simple- and few in
parts as the-simplest-of-ordinar-y-eingle-
cylinder engines, it has no dead centres,
. but will start • forward from any
poseiblet position • in which it may
be placed. Further, it is stopped, started
and changed fionaa single -to either a c-I.6u-
ble or a compound engine, as may be de-
sired, at a touch, by the motion of a single
lever; stud the change to either forma may
be made while it isrunning at any 'speed,
just as easily as when it is still. The en-
gineer caemean it with either one cylinder,
ea a iiiaglle engine, or with both cylinders
using lips steam, as, a double engine, or
with one cylinder using live steam
and theother ruaining . by the expan-
sion- as a compound ' engine, -either
-way-as-econornically-as-an-y-a-engine-
especially built for that • particular way.
At the same time it is so simple, conipaet,
and few in its parts that it can be manu-
factured, we are assuied by aft builders,
cheaper than [ any other form of engine,;
and' they claim that it is many per cent.
more poaverful and steadier in motion than
any other engine. At any rate, it is
attracting an unusual amount of attention
among manufacturers and engine experts,
and those Nth° are curious or interested in
steam enginee are advised to go and see it.

I have delayed writing ypu longer than I'
exPeoted in consequence of the floods that

about a week ago; the Souris Riyer was
so high that the ferry could not be worked,
but we are in communication with the out-

rough tune of it from first to last, but it is
a new ;country and We must' not expect all
easy times. Tbe winter was very fair; 1
did not suffer with the cold although
on the road Most of ' the ' time.

but about 9 o'clock the sun I would
,warin the atmoepliere so that 1 could

The Ontario Board of Health met Tues-
day afternoon at 2 o'clock in the Parlia-
ment Buildings, Termite. Present -Da -
W. Oldright, Chairman, and Drs. W. C.
Covernton, J. J.' Cassidy, J. Rae, Oehawa,
and Dr. P. H. Bryce, Secretary. The Visi-
tors were Dr. John Avery, delegate from
the Michigan State Board of Health, and,
Dr, T.E. White, Secretary of the Ontario
Medical Association. A disease report
sohenae was discussedat some length, the
objeot of the scheme being te obtain, if pos.
Bible, weekly reports from doctors in differ-
ent parts of Ontario containing first, a list
of the cases attended by them and the
diseases treated, and second, the severity
of the disease, and third, its peevalence.
It WaS also agreed that a weekly compile, -
Mon, of the reports be made by the Seem-
tary of the Board, and that he communi-
cate with medical men for the purpose of
securing their co-operation in the scheme.
A diagram was, exhibited, showing the
effect that oaone-active oxygen -had upon.
certain diseases, both as to their frequency
and severity. It was shown that a,n excess
of ozonean the air decreased the frequency
of oases of diarrhoea, while the maximum
of oases of pneumonia, diphtheria and other
throat and lung diseases were shown to
occur tinder such atbaospheric conditions as
showed an eacess of ozone. This is entirely
different from the opinion generally enter-
tained in reference to diphtheria, which
was supposed to be benefitted by the pre.
