Newman hall rays :--We hoar sad stories of evictions by owners against their tenants. But evietioue it hundred times more numerous are I taking pleas all the year at our very doors, Shivering women and stary i ing chitdreu aro ruthlessly expelled from Manse and home by a tyrant that never relents, end is never sat. isfiod, who one neither plead justi0s nor necessity, and his name is A100• hal. The late harbours, sanctions, etimulntes this greatest of law break• erg, and sends him forth equipped from the arsenal law has establish. ed, to clutch the rent that might have saved the home ; to snatch the loaf from the table, the dress from the back ; to maim and trample on the passer•b-y ; to wreck trains, sink al'lips and fire houses ; to kick wom• oil and torture children ; to crowd the poorhouse and the prison ; 'to be a seducer and a murderer ; to brealt human hearts, and to send tens of thousands of precious souls every year iu a drunkard's grave. All of which is sadly true. 1Ve Qllllndiane read with n feeling of horror rho reports of evictions that come daily over the wires. One's heart grows sick as he thinks of =there and children hurried out on the road, and their little home burnt before their eyes, or toru down to:lurep them from returning to it. B: ihave we no evictions s in On u fario ? Is there a township in the Province in which whiskey has not turned dozens of men off their farms ? Is there a town, village or pity in all Canada in which liquor hal not turned scores of men out of their homes ? Yes we have evio• bops in Canada. More families fieye boon evicted in Canada by li• quor in twenty years than have been evicted by landlords in Ireland for the last century The vows• Rapers do not record liquor evic• Lions. They are going on all the salne every day. William O'Brien's Career. William. O'Brien 'was born in Mallow, County Cork, Ireland, on October tad, 1852. He comes of a family locally prominent in later Irish revolutionary movements, his father having taken part in the ex citing events of '48, and his elder brother being equally prominent iu the Fenian uprising of 1867. Will- iam O'Brien was educated at Cloyne college, and following his natural bent toward journalism he joined the staff of the Freeman'a Journal in 1876. In 1879 he visited the west of Ireland as the special commis• siotler of that paper to investigate the famine then raging there, and by his graphic descriptions of the destitution which he found he con• tributed much to the relief of his unfortunate people. Umtedlreland was established in June, 1881, with Q';Brien state head, as the organ of the. National leaders. Chief Score. tary Foster ordered its suppression and imprisoned Editor O'Brien, and fourteen members of the staff of the paper to Kilmainham., jail, as sus pecta. After his release Mr. O'Brien renewed the war against the admin- istration. He was elected to parlia went from Mallow, and 'his course in. the House of Commons was die• tinguisbed by zeal and ability. O'Brien is of medium height, thin and studious looking. In disposi• tion he is modest and retiring, al. though regarded by Parnell as the most scholarly man, and one of the ablest debaters of the Irish party. gtrarietiei , the boy tilittl'1 pants to keep warm, the dog pants to keep cool.

Jones was Convinced.— Jones was at a dinner the other day where there were thirteen at the table, said Brown to Its wife, and he says he is convinced there is truth in the superstition. I went to visit him to -day and found flim in a, sad plight. Why, %that happened him? asked Mrs. Brown.' His mother- in-law had just came to pay a month's visit. He says he will never sit down where there's thir- teen at a table again. Misfortune is sure to follow. Brute ! was be: only comment. Cnnndian News.
