Rescues n “'onmn From the Water and 'l'nluen to Conn to Explain it. To the happily almost innumerable instances of the courage, intelligence and fidelity of the canine race must be added the recent achievement of a. dog who. a few days ago, made his appearance by the side of his master in the witness box at Bow street police court, placing his fore paws on the ledge of the stand, and surveying the audience in an undismayed manner, clearly pointing to conscious recti-tude of mind. This remarkable witness being unfortu- nately inarticulate, his owner had to explain to the magistrate the share which his dog had had in preventing the death by suicide of a wretched woman named Amelia Crick- land, who abou 1830 on Tuesday night threw herself in “the r'ver from the Victoria embankment, clote to Cleopatra‘s needle. A few seconds afterward a gentleman passed by, acccmpanied by his dog, a half breed Newfoundland and retriever. The dog ran down the steps of the needl., returned to its master. looked up in his face, gave two shbrit barks. and made for the steps leading to the water again. The gentleman, suspecting that something was wrong, followed the dog and perceived the despa - ing woman struggling in the water. '1‘ e brave animal swam toward her, caught hold of her dress, and dragged her toward the stairs. The gentleman had meanwhile walked into the water up to his knees, and reached his stick to the drowning woman, who seized it and was helped to shore. This short and simple story hav- ing been told, the magistrate expressed his opinion that the half-bred Newfoundland and retriever was very noble and intelli- gent. It is almost a shame to call him a half. breed. He possesses the noblest and most useful qualities both of the Newfoundland and the retriever, and deserves to hold at least brevet. rank as a ” double- bred ” dog. The despairing woman was remanded to the House of Deten- tion, and it is to be hoped that inquiries will be made as to the truth of the pitiable tale of her forlorn and destitute condition, and of her dcsertion by her husband. Com- ments on the dog’s conduct are unneces- sary. Nature has created him noble, albeit he has four feet and a. tail, and “ noblesse oblige." It might, however, be asked whether some additional precautions might not be taken for preventing people from flinging themselves into the river from the Thames embankment. Toll-free Waterloo bridge has ceased to be to London the “Bridge of Sighs ;” but the embankment, desolate as it is by night, threatens to become a preserve for the metropolitan coroners. Were there brilliantly lit shops and oafés on this misused terrace, people weary of life might not come thither so frequently to drown themselvesâ€"London Telegraph.

RICHMOND HILL THURSDAY, MAY 10, 1883. “We hold the anomalous position of being the only fairly and freely chosen parliament which may assemble to consider the welfare of a wretchedly oppressed, plundered and misgcverned people, and we are restrained, at the same time from stepping outside the functions of auxiliaries to those of the patriots who are heroically snuggling at home in the vain hope of awakening the long suspended conscience of a“ powerful and brutal foe. How great are the possibilities, how great the responsibilities of this con- vention! We have met neither on the one hand to dictate to our brethren in Ireland in anything, nor on the other hand to apologize to their and our common enemy for anything. We have met to organize and concentrate all the forces of our race,. whose united strengih shall be made poten- tillin our national struggle. We have met to solidify all the elements of our national sympathy. so that hereafter there shall he an authorized body to speak, not for a party, not for a man, but for united exiled Ireland. We have met to tell our brethren in Ireland that it is theirs to choose the road which leads to liberty, and ours to march with them upon it. The blood. that flows in our wine shall feel the pulse beat as them; and that beat shall be as firm and steady as the tap of the drum on the mom ' of battle. It is eminently proper that we should assemble around the cradle of Ameri- can independence. By its achievement. the Irish race won the first enduring triumph against the tyranny which it shall continue to resist till its clutch is loosened from civilization. In these sacred pre- cincts it is just that we should declare, in the words of the organic instrument of the , Republic, that all men are created free and ‘ equal, and that the political liberty we‘ enjoy belongs equally to our kindred in, Ireland. Let us enter upon our duty with g an cvermastering sense of our responsi-bility.

He thanked the newspapers for the kindness they accorded the Irish in their reports of the convention. “ This was a. parliament held by the people who ought to have another method of choosing a. parliament. The Irish needed a place in the estimation of the world which had been hitherto denied them. They were here exiled from their timberland for the highest purpoeee ever placed before a people.

THE IRES]! PARLIAMENT. AFTERNOOX SESSION- The Irish-American people assembled in Convention at Philadelphia submit to the intelligence and iight reason of their fellowmen that the duty of the Govern- ment is to preserve the lives of the governed, to defend their liberty, protect their property, maintain peace and order, to allow each portion of the people an equitable efficient voice‘in the Legislature. and to promote the general welfare by wise, just, humane laws; 'we solemnly declare and cite the unquestioned history and universal knowledge of living men in testi- mony hereof : First, that the English Government has existed in Ireland not to preserve the lives of the governed but to destroy them ; entire communities it has wantonly massacred by the sword ; to the asylum of terrified women it has deliber. ately applied the blazmg torch ; into help- less towns it has discharged deadly bombs and shells ; though consecrated where age and infirmity sought shelter it has sent its bloody butchers ;- the sacred persons of venerable priests it has stretched upon the rack or suspended from the gibbet ; puling babes have been impaled on the points of its bayonets, because, in their words. “ its emissaries liked that sport "; its {old has been folded in the hand of- the assassin, and has rewarded the infamy of the perjured traitor ; its treacherous falsehood has lured patriots to unsusprcted death. FAMle A SERVANT. As if the sword. cannon, torch. scaffold, dagacr and explosives were not enough, it enjoys the unique infamy of being the only Government known to ancient or modern times which has employed famine to destroy those from whom it claimed alle- giance ; ioxcibly robbing the Irish people of the fruit of their own toil produced by their own labor. It has buried, not hundreds, not thousands, but more than a million of the Irish race, unslirouded, uncofl‘ined, in the grave of hunger. Ithas mercilessly compelled other millions in compulsory poverty to seek in alien lands the bread they were entitled to in their own. There is no form of cruelty known to the lowest savage which it has ’not practiced on the Irish people in the name of the highest civilization. There is no device of fiendish ingenuity it has not adopted to reduce their numbers. Within two years it has massacred children, and woman’s body has been the victim ‘of its licensed ruffians. There is no species of destructive attack, however insidious or i violent, ancient or modern. rude or scien- tific, whether directed against life or matter, in any portion of the globe, for which its barbaritiee in Ireland have not furnished example. I A NEGLIGENT GOVERNMENT. Secondlyâ€"We declare that the English Government in Ireland has not defended the liberty of the people, but ha: statutes which amount to a series of coercion laws framed to deprive the citizens of all vestiges of personal freedom and reduce them to outlawry, confiscate their property and compel them to flee to foreign lands. Hordes of soldiers have been loosed upon people forbidden to bear arms. To-day the representatives of the people are in prison guiltless of crime; freedom of speech is abolished; the right of peaceable public meeting is annulled; no man’s house is scare night or day from armed marauders who may insult, harass his family, without 3 warrant; a citizen may be thrown into prison without counsel ; he may be put on mock trial before a prejudiced judge and packed jury. In the lying of purchased wretches his: liberty may be sacrificed, or his life taken inrtlie name of the law.

An Illinois delegate says that the Conservative element met with a. sad disaster yesterday. He regrets this on the ground that every true patriot should work openly by means of associations like the Land League. .The League to be formed tie-day, in his (pinion, will be under the dominance of the Clan Nit Gael and other secret societies, and wrii not have the same hold'on the public confi'iente as a body organized under file direct mu; ices of the anti-dyna- mite (rut). To James Mooney, President of the Irish-Amori» can Convention : I ‘ My presence at the opening of the most repre- sentative convention ox Irish-American opinion ever assembled being impossible, owing to the necessity of my renmit ing here to oppose the Criminal Code Bill. which re-enacts permanently the worst provisrons of coercion, and if passed W111 leave constitutional movements at the mercy of the Government, I would ask you to lay my views before the convention. I would respectfully mlv1se your platform to he so framed as to enable us to continue to accept help from America. and at the some time avoid affording any pretext to the, British Government for entirely suppressing the national movement in Ireland. In this way on] can unity of move- ment be preserved both in relund and America.

Every inasmuer of legislation Imposed by the English members receives courteous consideration. Any meaaure, however just, necessary, or humane, proposed by patriotic Irish members is certain of con- temptuous rejection by acombined majority of both great English parties; thus the educational system of Ireland is notoriously inadequate; thus it is that eviction, un- known in England, and declared by Glad- stone to be almost equivalent to death sen- tences, are of daily occurrence in Ireland and have nearly doubled in five years in spite of the boasted benefit of the Glad- stone land laws; thus it is that although acsordiug to the Government returns criminals are twenty-seven in ten thousand of the English population, and only sixteen in ten thousand of the Irish population, in spite of the exasperation to which they are subjected, yet England enjoys constitutional liberty, and Ire- land is under worse thanmartiul law. 'Ihe intrepil persistent attempte of the patriot Irish deputation to obtain in the English Parliamentjust and humane laws for Ireland have always been, is, and in our belief must, continue to be a failure. Now, therefore, in view of these facts, be it re~olved by the Irish-American peoole in Convention assembled, that the English Government in Ireland, originating in usurpation. perpetu- ated by force, having failed to discharge any of the duties of govsrnment, never having acquired the consent of government, has no moral right whatever to exist in Ireland. And it is the duty of the Irish race throughout the world to sustain the Irith people in the employ ment of all legiti- mete means to substitute for it national self government. PLEDGED TO SUPPORT PATRIOTS. Resolved, That we pledge our unqualified constant support, moral and material, to our country men in Ireland in their efforts to recover national self-government, and in order to more effectually promote this ob- ject by the consolidation of all our resources and the creaticn of one re- eponsible authoritative body to speak for the greater Ireland in Americe. that all acts represented in this Convention and all that may hereafter comply with the con- ditione of admission he organized into‘ the Irish National League of Ireland, of which Charles Stewart Parnell is President. Fiftl 1y -â€"T‘ne Englibh Gaveerent in Ireland (lose not allow that portion of the Empire an equitable and efficient voice in the Legihlalure. In England one-twelfth of the population vote for the n" mom's of Parliament. In Ireland one fwvub)-fi"bh of the population vote {or men.’ r: n of Per- lizunent. In England the registiaLi-on laws are favorable to the voter, in Ireland tlzey are inimical to the voter. In Egland Lll clasmee oi the p apulation are fairly repre- sented. In Ireland the poor law is employed to secure to landlords and place- huntera u. preponderance -in the national delegatizn. In England the Judiciary is in- dependent of the Executive and eympathizes with the people. In Ireland the Judiciary is the creature and part of the Executive, and is appointed exclusively from the enemies of the people. In England the magistrates are chosen Without regard to creed. In Ireland 97 per cent. of the magistrates having jurisdiction over per- sonal liberty are selected from the creed rejected'by 78 per cent. of the people, and a detestable spirit of religious bigotry is thus legal‘z'ad perpetuated In England the laws creating civic conspiracy have long been dent}. in Inland laws made under Resolved, That we sympathise with the laborers of Ireland in their efforts to improve their condition, and an we have sustained the farmers in their assaults upon the landlord garrison, we now urge upon the farmers justice and humane con- siderationior the laborers. In the words for which an Irish member of Parliament was imprisoned, we demand that the farmers allow laborers “ a fair day‘s wage for a fair day’s work." SUleOllT T0 IRISH MANUFACTURERS. Resolved, That as the manufactures of Great Britain, which are the chief source of her material greatness, are already declining under the influence of American competition, We earnestly counsel our countrymen in Ireland to buy nothing in England which they can produce in Ireland or procure from America or France, and we pledge ourselves to promote Irish manu- facturers by encouraging their import into America, and to use our utmost- endeavor: bv plain statements of fact and discrimina- tion in patronuge to persuade American tradesmen from Peeping English goods on sale. Fourthly.â€"~Tbe Eugfish Government in Ireland has not maintained peace and order, but has for 700 years broken her peace and deatroyed her order. Resolved, That we heartily endorse the noble sentiments of Bishop Butler, of Limerick, “ That every stroke of Forster's savage lash was for Irishman a. new proof of I’Mnell‘s worth and an additional title for him to the confidence and gratitude of his countrymen." goes back to the Irish people. In addition to this an iniquitous system of taxation imposes on the people a. gigantic buraen for the sustenance of at foreign army, for the oppressive ounstabulsry, for the salaries of the supernumemry oifiuiuls and placemou, for penaions to the English favorites, for blood money for informers, and for a. vulgar comb whose extravagance is squel- led only by tho shame of its preten- sions; The namml-‘ly created capital of the country is sent to Englqu on one pretext or another, and brings no exchange except articles of English manufacture, which the Irish people under Felfrgovernmenb would produce for themselves or purchase in Americas Irish manufactures deliberately rustmyed by the English in the last century: are still dormant: ;. her immense water- power turns no wheels; her canals are all but impassast; her river‘s are obstructed; bet useful clays and valuable minerals are untouched. In her beautifui harbors are few ships, Except those of her enemy. The English law for the protection of property in Irelmid has been silence to milks Ireland to bleed at every pore'for the benefit of the hoairtkse landlord and English manufac- turers. 2 ' Rcsolved, That the English Minlatry, ontenta’aiouhly "Libera.),” has earned the c-‘mtompc of fair-minded men throughout; the wurld- by xmprifinning_more nhtm a thousand onizens iu Irelwud without an («cam-mun or trial, and a, number of her noble-hearted women engaged in works of mercy among the evicted victims of landjorg rgpucity: ' of landlord rapuciby. ‘ ' Resolved, That the people of Ireland are by the laws of God and nature entitled to live by their labor in their native land1 IN.‘ UL ‘ICIENT RF '“ESENTATION A Harrisburg, Kentucky, despatoh says : Congressman Thompson, who killed Davis, on surrendering made a pathetic speech in court, detailing his wrongs. There was profound silence and few dry eyes while Thompson was speaking. Thompson said: “ I do not believe I will receive censure of this people. but whatever is the will of the court I will bow to and bear with as becomes a good cuizeii. This has broken up my domestic relatiors, destroyed my peace and happi- ness. My daughter. dearer to me than all else on earth, is an exile from home, an outcast from society. His blood is but a feeble at nement for her tears, and if he had a hundred lives all of them would not atone for this great wrong. I feel I did what every man who has a home which he loves and a daughter dear to him would do if he has the courage to defend them from wrong. In this I expect and feel Iwill receive the sympathy of» the good and vir- tuous.” Thompson was allowed to give 35,000 bail. There is intense sympathy for Thompson, though Davis is very popu- lar. Davis has awife and two children. He was 26 years of age; Mrs. Thompson is 40. He was prominently connected, and his widow is the step-daughter of Governor Robeson, of Georgetown. The ease went to the grand jury yesterday. As yet no indictment has been found. Mrs. Davis’ first knowledge of her husband’s death was the arrival of the body. She fainted several ‘times. She now sufiers from nervous prostraticn. She never sus- pected her husband’s infidelity. Miss Buckner came here and went to the house of Thompson’s father. ~ Mrs. Thompson is living there. The father and mother of Thompson are espousing her cause, and asserting her innocence. 0:) Miss Buckner‘s arrival she left. and is at a friend's house. The lady states that Mrs. Thompson told her Davis was in- nocent. Thompson’s son, aged 14, espouses his mother’s side, and says Miss Buckner is the cause of the trouble and if she stays here he will kill her. Miss Buckner declined to say anything. Davis is a brother of Grit Davis, former owner and driverâ€"of the horses Phil. Thompson, 80 So and other fast horses, and was an intimate friend of Thompson’s. An eye witness says that when Davis left the car he was trying to draw a pistol, but when the body was searched nopistol was found. A relative of mine residing near the Blue Hills has developed a mania, for cats." He is possessed of sixteen outs of all ages and sizes. Being on a. visit to him last week and conversing with him In the kitchen, I heard a. rattling of the lath of the door leading to the cellar. Supposing some one was in the cellar who wanted to get out and could not readily find the latch, I opened the door myself. and there set a. grave and sedate old cat on the landing. and standing on her head was a. half-grown out, steadying herself by the frame of the door with one pew, and with the other striking the thumb-piece of the latch with he evident intention of opening the door. Finding the door open, they gravely walked in and seated themselves in the family circle. Woman Blown Into a Tree 'Top and Fatally Injured. An Atlanta, Ga.., despntch says : Most of the white inhabitants of Georgetown, a village on Pearl River, seventeen miles from Beauregard, were in a. Methodist Church when the cyclone struck the build- ing and tumbled the wells upon the worshippers. Rev. H. B, Lewis, the pastor, Was fatally injured. One man was instentl killed and several others seriously injure . The congregation had dropped to their knees and were protected by the seats from the falling timbers, otherwise the fatalities must have been numerous. The negroes in a church near by also had a. lively shaking up, three being killed and a. dozen or so badly injured. In the same village John A. Crawford. wife, daughter, grand- child and servant were all instantly killed, their house demolished and the body of Ills. Cravaord blown‘ 300 3erds. Mrs. Fowles' three sons and daughters were killed. and Mrs. Fowles blown into a. tree- top and fstelly injured. Several other deaths are reported from the same neigh- berhood. “ Oh, yes ; we've left a. pane of glass out in the cellar window; and when the cats are tired of staying outside they come up the cell”, stairs and open the door for themselves; it saves us the trouble." “ Did you teach them how to do it ?" .“Oh, no ; they found out the waythem- selves.”â€"â€"Z.
