CONFUSION IN IRELAND. DVBUM, Deo. Ths town clerk at Kiogetown presented Mr. Parnell with an address, expressing admiration ol hm " re solute resmtaticc of the insolent dictation of Gladstone," and assuring him o( support in hi* noble work." The address contained thii declaration : ' The people will not aooept any Home Bole icheme not giving to the people (all oonirol of the police and power to settle the land question. 1 ' I nhii speech made upon his arrival at Mr. Kenny's boose to these who had escorted him, Mr. Parnell aid he WM confident that with the yonth of Ireland on hi* side he would win, and the common sense and judgment of the Iriib people would rally in the true psth and refuse to allow the country to be dic- tated to by anyone, however eminent. The Parnell Leadership Committee daring the day prelected Mr. Parnell with an address tnphaai/.ing in the strongest manner con- damnation of the "miserable and con. tsmptible position " the asoeders had as- sumed. It said they bad belied their own utterances, had been false to their pledges of fealty scd to their constituents, and bad ignored the principles with which under Mr. Parnell's guidance they bad achieved the only saocess ever resulting to them from Parliamentary action. While on the street to-day a hostile crowd threatened Mr. Healy, who was compelled to seek protection from the police. . IRELAND " BICAFTCRSUl. have issued a manifesto to the Irish people. la tola they say : Feeling bound to protect oar country's cause at whatever personal ucrince, ws found our- selves under tin- sd uec. Mity of terminating Mr 1'aroill's leadership It would have been easier to have left him tmdisturtwd. but tuoti a oourx would have left every man of ui a traitor to bis country Mr. 1'aruell, disregarding our appeals to remember the country, evinced an ill-judged dett rmiLiailou to nialuialn n*s untenable posi- tion, inue threateniiig to t-lunse Ireland into a conflict which may overwhelm her and cause her I'rc'mnt fair | rotpvcts to diaapiwar forever. It is Ibe duty of Irishmen now. irrespective of all consideration of feelings either for Mr. 1'aruell or i hose differing from him. to adopt a coarse that will Uuil to nave Inland from destruction. Late to night a strong psrly of Parnell's opponents made a descent upon and recap- tared tbe offices of l'niit,l Ireland. The invaders destroyed all Ibe leaders, which bad been prepared by Mr. Loamy, who was installed as editor by Mr. I'arnell, and threw all the matter that they found set np into the fire. Then they took possession of tbe ledgers and other books and docu- ments belonging to the concern. All this was done in tbe name cf \Vm. O'Brien. A strong poise from various laborers' societies has been left as a garrison with instruc- tions to remain on guard day and night, and to resist by force any further intrusion by Parnell and bis friends. Il is stated that the supprease- edition will appear to- morrow. u IMIIKMII raocissicM. Parnell consulted with bis supporters daring tbe greater part of tbe day. At 7 o'clock this evening he went to the Man- sion lions*, where the procession was to form. There the crush and enthusiasm was so great that Parnell and his compan- ions fonnd a great difficulty in reaching tbe door. The crowd was enormous and the people were lightly packed and wedged in together. After nearly an boor was spent in forming tbe procession, a start was made amid the crash of a score of brass bands and the waving of torches. I'arnell rode in the lord mayor's carriage at the head of Ibe lias. Jasl as tbe procession started a score of enthusiastic men unharnessed the horses and took their places, dragging the carriage in triumph the whole way to the Rotunda. Parnell received an ovation all along the route, and at the hall he expert snood tbe greatest difficulty in making his way to the entrance. The hall bad been packed almost to sulf >catu>n for an hour previous lo the arrival of the procession. When Psrnell got inti ie he found it im- possible lo reaub the platform io any way other than on the ehonldtrs of the crowd, and he passed to the stage over the beads of reporters, the audience pressing forward, sweeping aside the stewards, and clamber- iag upon the platform after him. The cheering which began when be entered tbe hall was kept up for several minutes, during which Messrs. Kenny and Campbell, the tw" K.dtmnija. an I others forced their way to the platform. When the tumult had subsided, the Lord Mayor was installed in the chair, and a vote of confidence In Parnell was passed amid great enthusiasm. I'ABNII.I.'s U.M1I8I. I'arnell said : I have been accused of absence from the field of battle, but I did not intend lo plead lo night either excuses or reasons, believing that you, having con- fidence In me, wonld not put me to uoch an ordeal, bat take me for what you have known me to be and for what, please God, I will prcva myself to be in tbe face of Ireland and my fellow countrymen. (Loud After detailing various reasons for their action, the signers of the manifesto add that whatever judgment Ireland may pass on the manifesto her cause bang* on the issue, and the signers will abide by that judgment, they being the nation's servants. They enumerate tbe charges against Parnell as follow! : il) He speaks as If he were tbe Injured party, wtit-r.-aa be alone is res(>onsible ftT the present deplorable iltuation.

They set forth that Parneir* re-election was doe to gratitude for paet services, and his disposition to the fact that if he continued as leader the struggle might have been abandoned. The manifi ato says Parnell maul be aware that his personality obstructs iff arts for freedom and leaves Ireland wilh nothing for many years but the abominable system imposed by Ibe present Government The signers say they refuse to abandon Gladstone for Parnell or to insist upon Ihs Liberal leader revealing his plans, which, they say, would be foolishly to givu advan- tageous opportunities to Ireland's foes. The signers refuse to believe that Gladstone de sired to dictate. He was bound to publish his conviction that tbe retention of 1'arniill in the leadership of tbe Irish parly would wreck Home Rale. Why should a man of 81 waste the brief remnant of his life in a straggle foredoomed to failure? The signers offered 1'arui II an opportunity of temporary retirement with a view to bis eventual reinslaterrent, but he never gave tbe faintest chance of a settlement. His fatal manifesto was an appeal to the hatreds: between the peoples of Ortat Britain and Ireland, and makes it impoasi ble for him hereafter to oo operate with the Liberal party. The manifesto concludes : " Fellow coun- trymen, the issue we submit to yon is one upon which the fortunes of oar country must depend. May Ood defend the right." There are 47 signatures attache.) to the manifesto, beaded by Justin McCarthy. KILLS A* WILL AS OVRKS. A Potat la Which Koch's Care Does Vet Differ from Others. A Berlin despatch says : Many medical men who cams here from abroad to study the Koch treatment are leaving with their hopes of its success abated. Borne special- ists continue, their demonstrations of the treatment, bat tbe others have oeased to inquire for facilities. Prof. Bergmann, upon concluding his demonstrations, an- nounced thai he Lad made injections in 200 oases, but wonld not pronounce definitely upon the results or the methods) of the treatment until a year bad elapsed. Never- theless, he reaffirmed bis belief in the value of tbe remedy. Tbe Herald publishes an interview wilh Prof. Yirchow on tbe Koch remedy. While admitting that Koch bad made a most im- portant discovery. Virobow said wholesale inoculation with tbe lymph was absurd un- til exhaustive experiments bad proved its nature. It was clear to him that tbe lymph was dangerous for children and per- sons in an advanced stake of consumption. He declined to admit that it afforded a certain diagnosis, and said he aeiieved its efficacy in the treatment cf lupus still needed proof. He thought experiments covering two or three years ooghl to be made. The reaction against the Koch treatment has increased in violence. Eight patients have died soon after the injection of the lymph, and this, combined with the fact that there has been no verified core, baa intensified the public feelings against the experiments. A number of hospital patients here and in Lyons, who have been undergoing Koch treatment, have re fused to submit to farther trials. Owing to the pub lie furor, the commission, headed by Prof. Nallcpean, which is testing the remedy, has decided to maintain absolute silence ss to the res a Ml until the tests have teen com- pleted. A man in Madrid suffering with con- sumption, who was inoculated with the Koch lymph, has jost died. For several days before bis death he breathed wilh difficulty, and bis pulse was irregular. A post-mortem examination revealed tbe usual consumptive appearance and a peri- cardial swelling. FHB KKTKOir TKJtOBDY BKFBS.TBD. anquerullng Students In Flames Two Fatally, Others Seriously Injured.

Now, everybody can give sweetly, graciously and lovingly. How many oan aooept in tbe same spirit ? I fslt last year that there was a thread of coarse- ness in the girl who, looking at a fins book that had been lent her by a friend, said : " Ob, dear, I suppose I shall have to get ' r something in return for ill" That's li.rter and exchange. It isn't giving. Nothing was to be sent in return for the book unless il were tbe sweetesl of thanks. and the mers faol of tbs acceptance of a gift does not force upon you its return. Gift giving is like love, the desire is sap- posed lo oome from the heart, and no gift is worth anything unless it is sect with that feeling, and that only. Bat then you think you are to aooept and never to re- turn? My dearest girl, we never know how we return things in this world, bat everything does equalize itself. You have been a charming companion and have brightened many a moment to a woman whose parse is better tille.l than \ours. She sends you, when a Chrismas Day comes, some dainty prevent, some pretty trifla that she knows you will like, a book about which you have talked, or a picture that you r-ave edmirtd ; then turn you make should be your thanksgiving, and that is all. Your giflof a joyful pre senoe was made long before tbe material one. I do not mean by this that the woman who is not rich must not give Ood for hid n bat I co in- an she must not think of attempting to return at once the gift that has oome to her. It is vulgar, my dear. Wait until another gift day comes round, and then give something that expresses yontself, tbs child of y our brain and your fingers, rath-r than of your parse. After all, Emerson struck the key cole of gift giving when he said. " Oar vifls are fur the roost pan expressionless. Lei the sailor bring a sea shell, the poet a poem and tin painter a picture," and thete are the gifts that, being pa ri uf your- self, may be nc-ived as cf greater vslue than anything which money ooold obtain.

A Paris cable says : The Anarchist Do la Bruysrs, has written a letter to Le Cl* t, in which he states that he assisted Pad- lewsky, tbe Russian Pole suspected of murdering Gen. Seliverskoff, to escape from Paris after the crime waa committed. Padlewsky, De la Bruy ere sajs, made bis way to Trieste, where he embarked upon m vessel and sailed for South America. The statement of the Anarchist De la Brayere that he assisted Padlewsky, ths supposed murderer ot Gen. Beliverskcff, to escape, largely engrosses the attention of both the police and the public. Tbs prefect of police and the public prosecutor neld an extended conference to-day as to tbe advisability of arresting ' De la Brnyere unttl tbe accuracy cf his story could be ttated. According lo De la bruyere'g letter to Le Clair newspaper, Paale*sky confessed lo him that he killed Gen. Soliverakcfi on the spur of the moment after be had had a long conversation with tbe general. Tbe general had tried to pump him regarding the frequenters of Bernhcffs Lou-o, where Padlewsky was employed, and concluded by proposir g that Padlewsky act as a spy. 'ibis proposition Padlewsky bad leseuted by snooting ths general, aud had cucaued as his victim fell on bis desk, face downward. Three nighti later a woman vuited De la Brayere and implored him to assist Padlewsky in leaving Ibe country. De la Brnyere sayt be assented ou tbe ground that il was political crime. He relates how he dis- guised the fugitive by changing the color of bis complexion sad hair, and afterwards accompanied him to Trieste.

The locomotive is for ike Michigan Central. It is a ten wheeler, with six driving wheels, each aix ftet and two innnee in diameter. 1 ha shell of its boiler is 68 inches in diameter, and the locomotive weighs 69 tons ; wilh loaded tender, 102 tons. The locomotive is called 'compound," from a device by which inert, are only two exhanils to a revolution, instead of four as in ordinary engines. The Boheneolady works torn out nine locomotives a week; the Baldwin works, twelve. The "improvement" to be derived from this whole matter is the advance in the rate of manufacturing locomotives. Twenty years ago il took a "gang" a month to turn out a locomotive ; now the works tarn oal 86 in a month of 28 days.
