The Hon. Secretary, at the request ofthe Hayo'r, road the following circularfrom the Local Government Hoard —

Sir—In consequence of the fall of Ant-werp tlie War Refugees Committee ex-pect a very large influx of refuses fromBelgium , and arc seekini; to nvai l them-selves of every possible off«'r of hos-pitality. In these circumstances UieBoard trust that tlie local representativecommittees in Ireland will be so pood asto act ,in. the Board's circular letter of theajtli uit. , fotward to the Board the name!and addresses of persons who are willinpto afford accommodation to refugees , wi tha statement of the numbe r which cun beaccommodated in earn ease. On recei pti»f this information a fu r the r couiuuiui-cation will be addressed to you TheBoard learn that the refugees who havearrived in England are ueneraUy infamilies or groups of families, and eachproup is almost invariably m-eonipaniedby at least one man. There have beenhardly any cases of young boys or girlswho were unaccompanied by older re-latives. Offers of hospitality, therefore ,lor children alone , cannot as a ru.e beutilised. An offe r of hospitality forfamilies should if possiblo include ac-commodation for men I t is ulso desiredthat families should aj far as possible behoused in tho same house , and wherethis cannot he arrunsed '. '¦..- .• .-hoiiM aileast bv hous d in Uie s;i ... • siuvt <>rvillage.

An presumab.y intimated , the re fiu-ee -swill be medicall y inspected before bemssent. The refugees are mostly of the pivi-sant and tradesman class, and very fewcan speak anyth:nk but French orFlemish. As most of these people willbe destitute an offer of hospitality shouldcontemplate the provision of food at leastduring the earlier period of thei r stay.The 'Board understand that the railwayfares of tho refugees from London will bepaid by the Government —I nm, etc..

J. E. DEVLIN , Assistant SecAfter discussing the foregoing it was

agreed that it be handed to the press, andthat the editors of tlie locai papers beasked to kindly publish it . and also tostate that all parties who are wi l l ing t<itake and provide for refugee s shouldcommunicate in w r i t i n g with the Mayoras early as possible, and not later thanMonday, 26th inst., mentioning the num-ber of refugees they are prepared to takeand provide for . Parties who wouldlike to help in other ways, or make sug-eestions, are -also invited to communi-cate with 'his Worship.

P H H S G I X S . Hon SecIn reply to his appeal issued on Monday-

the Mayor has already received twooffers of hospitality for Hclcinn relucoesMrs. O'ilara . the Palace , has offered totake and provide, for two famil ies not ex-cseding eight persons, and Mr Thomas KPower, Tramore, has offered housing ac-commodation for 1C persons. The latteroffer does not inr lude th e provision offood, etc., for the refut-ees. These offerswill , with any others received , bn for-warded in due course to the I,oo%l Govern-ment Board;for thoi r approval.

Mr. O'Connell is a very intelligent andmodest and retiring young map Acoup le of days ago he gavo our Carrick-on-Suir correspondent somo interesting de-tuj ltj of tlie work of the Eng ineers in thewar . iindl the dan gers they had to en-counter , although thuy are not actualcombatant*. Mr. O'Donnell left Eng-lurid for the front on August 15th , and!ar-rn'eil at liniien , in France , on the 2llth.From Koueu thoy marchud to Wesseigne,and arrived before Slons on the 23rd. 'Iheywere seui at midnight to make trenchesfor the re :iniont.f of the brigade to whichthe Kngii oers were attached—viz. , theHi ghland Light Infantry. Conuaught Ran-gers. Berl shires, and Irish (iuards . L»uiing the rcj treat from Mons they were con-stantly engaged blowing uj > brid ges, digSing trenches , and constructing pontoonbridges ofer rivers and canals In thecourse oi their work they were repeatedlyshelled b.v the Germans , and so fierce wasthe shelling at times that they wereobliged til temporaril y abandon theirwork.

Mr. O I unnell witnete.-d some fiercefighting ly the regiments to which hiscompany AUS attached.

On September Mth , at Ventrileui) , hiscompany and the brigade with which theywere working had a terrible time from theGerman sheila. Few escaped injuries ofsome kind , and man y a one had therehis last glimpse of France The blood-sodden earth around there holds the bonesof many ;J member of the brigade , and ofnot a few of the Engineers. It was utVentrileui] that Mr. O'Donnell receivedtho bulletin the arm that put him out ofaction. The bullet entered the soft partof the aruj i . about three inches above theelbow , and passed out about an inch be-low the sij imlder. Just before getting thebullet in the arm be hud a miraculousescape fr r im death. German shrapnelshelis had] been whizzing and bur st i ng allaround tlipin , with scarcely a moment'sintermission He was lying face down-wards on the ground , rifle in hand , expect-ing overy moment that the fate that hadovertaken inuny of those who lay aroundhim woul inevitably be his too. Pre-sently tho familiar sound ot the whizzingshrupnol hell was heard over his head ,and in a nnment it fell and exp lodedwithin a ew feet of where he lay Theshrapnel I bullet * Hew in all directions.One of (belli grazed Mr O Donnell ' s cheek ,pns-ed thr ough the collar of his eoat.

BELGIANS FOR CLONMEL¦A large representative meeting was

held in Clonmel'on Monday, Mr. R. Bag-well , D.L., presiding, to m-aT<o nrraripe-ments for the reception and maintenanc*of Belgian refugees In the district. .

TJio Chairman recommended that theyshould follow the lead of' Dublin andutilise the workhouse for tlie receptionind distribution of refugee's. - :

Colonel Crookc and others thought thiswas objection-able, as it might be thoughtit would give them the taint of pauperism. |

The Cluvrman said if they WCTO Irishpeople this objection would hold goodbut as they did not belong to the oountry they would not mind, iln any case,the workhouso would be only used as atemporary place. . <

¦Mr. Martin O'Gorman , Chairman of itjieBoard of Guardians, said he would call a-pocial meeting of that body to see whtjther they could receive the refugees, anda resolution was passed suggesting tha|the Corporation and Board of Guardiansshould strike a rate for the re'.iel ol th<)refugees and that the Local GovernmentBoard be asked to sanction the pledgingof tho rotes for that purpos?. ; |

A subscription list for the relief of thejimmediate wants of the refugees iva|opened and £35 was contributed in thuroom.

Mr*. Bagwell read a letter received bjthe Duchess of St. Albans from her sisterLady Blake , describing a visit by her Uthe refugees at the Steam Packet Company 's premises, Cork.

THE BRITISH SNOB-OFFICER

Mr. Robert Blatchford , Editor of " The-Clarion " (who i3 at present fighting withthe Allies) writes this week about "iliritishSnobs and Indian 1'iinces." He sayfthat while in Paiis recently he was in-formed by a waiter in a hotel in which litwas stopping that an Indian Prince wusa truest. Mr. Blatchford then goes on t<tell a tnle of British snobbery which—con-Bideiin s the situation—is almost as in-credible as it is disgusting He says: —

We saw the Indian prince at dinner. Atall , handsome , manly man. He came inwith an English general , and they sat ata small table in state. The tabl e was closeU> our*. The general sat bolt upright, atall, lean haughty gentleman , with whitehair. And he never looked at the princehe was dining with , and never spoke tohim.

And the next night a group of Britishofficers sat in the smoke-room rcunoV atable , and presently the Indian princecame in and sat down near them. Myyoung friend and I sat within a few feetof them. The British officers never lookedat the Indian prince : they never spoke, tohim They went on talking amongst them-selves as though he had not been there.And after alx>ut ten minutes the princepit up and went upstairs to his room.Then my young friend expressed hisopinion to me. He said he had never seenanything so caddish and so brutal in hislife. He said he did not understand whythe prince , who looked a brave: and : afierce soldier, and wore medal ribbons wonin war . did not stand up and smacJt l, heJlritish officers' faces.

We were both so ashamed and annoyedthat we had to get up and go out.

What had the Indian done? He hadbeen born an Indiap . He was brave, j hewas manly, he was handsome, he spokeEnglish perfectly, and with a beautifulsoft cultured voice. iHe had come all theway from India at his own expense tofight our battles , and he was nubjected tothe most horrible snub by tho. officers ofthe Army of the King to whom he wasso strangely loyal.

My captain was not present. "He hadgone to the front. Had lie been there hewould have joined in the infliction of tliatbitter insult upon a brave man .

This is one strcnge incident out of manywhich I have met in my French travels.! Ido not understand it. If an Indian princeis not fit to speak to, why docs our Kingaccept his services? If he is to be in-sultisl by the King's officers why do wetalk a lot of insincere rot about hisloyalty I have read column? 6f gushabout the Indian Rajahs and their loyalty.It seems we take money nnd service andmen from trtrse princes , and then treatthem as if they were unfit to associate withwhite men.

What can one call this but the dirtiestof snobbery? I cannot understand whymen like our officers, who are certainlygentlemen , and men of courage and kind-ness, can behave in such a -way to abrother-in-arms I must say that theeffect of our officers ' conduct upon myyoung friend and me was to make usashamed of our country. These Indianprinces are loyal to what , anil why? Theywill give hundreds and thousands ofpounds, and tbeir services , and theirblood : to what' In .India this princewould not be allowed to enter a rwmi inwhich our officer* sat. Here , in 'Franco,he is allowed that great privilege, and heis insulted. 'Why then is he "loyal"?

This is the twentieth century, and ourofficers are snobs. I am sorry, I am verysorry, but it is the fact. If a lx>y has beenat a public school and his learnt theaffectations of the "class" and habitual.}"talks in the loud tone and with the absurdaccent of the public schools, he is "oneof us ," and may become an officer andmay mix up in the sacred company of theelect. Failing these qualifications he willIK- cold-shouldered by every snob whowears a sword.

Honestly. I do not like saying this. Butwhat is one to nay after a scene like thatI have dcBCrib -j in the French hotel?My joung friend was ri ght: the conductof the officers was caddish and brutal. Aftfor the general , with bis silly pride andhis ridiculous dignity, he made me wantto throw thinu'.s it him.

It don 't do. It is not .-easonabl":it is not decent . it is not huiuiin. It h«spot to be xtoppe.1 It is the kind ot cad-dullness we expect from a Geiman Jun-l'er. Our Britisi ' cfTicers ate fine j i-ldier"rnd fine nif -n. I do not 0-'ii*?Vr there arefiner <-fficnrs - r fuel men in any army. Iwant to like them and I want to respectthem. But they are snobs. They belongto a snobbish class. Their caste is dcaste of contemptible Bnobbery . No in-tellectual man . no human man. no nionwi th any knowledge of tiuninn naturecould stand them I had tr > uet up andleave the hotel. I felt that I hud been uwitnesa to an outrage. Tbe Indian Princeis in France to f .ght for freedom ! Free-doni.

TheGermans were in many respects | acultivated people, but they had nomonopoly of culture . Their philosopherSirausp hod tj i chired Christ to be a mythand Christianity a failure. Nietzsche andthe overmen set war-worship before thepeople as a religion and brute force as ' acrtspel , and this great teacher , the boastof Germany, the apostle of Germanicculture , had died in a mad-houSo.

We are not fighting thn German people,added Father Vaufrhan ; -we are .fightingtheir brutish , hellish doctrines .

A London correspondent wri es aboutthe breakdown of the niachinei'y for deal-ing with Belgian refugees in I England.The correspondent says:—"The break-down of the machinery for supply of thematerial wants of thej refugees makes oneapprehensive of their 'spiritual! welfare.I know for certain that lat the beginningof tilings every care : was takan for theproper , protection of ; the faitli of thoseexiles,!but it is just possible tliat the or-ganisation which was [looking After theirspiritual needs has broken down , or, utany rate, is in danger, of breaking downunder the sheer strain ofl numbers.

SUBMARINES ! BY RAIL

Can They be Taken to ( istend ?

That; the Germans will ' try t< get sub-marines to Os'.end , if they can hold it ,may be taffen as certajn|. But the state-ment made by a German officer to twocorrespondent* of the: VDaily Mail" ntOs-tend ; that submarines are alread y be-ing shipped there by rail , must) be takenwith a'large pinch of pa t ; 1

A prriall submarine m ght possibly bomoved | by rail. Thoi unallesti Germanvesselslof this t ype are he boa'ts U 1 to•». which are from 130ft; o 150ft. long andabout l i f t , or 12ft. in diameter.

The conning-towe'r and super structure ,which project 6ft. or $f^. from the hull ,would presumably be r«:ooved, and wouldbe replaced when the 'bouts hni reachedOstend: Such vesselR|in ??-a trim - weighabout 240 tons, but for transport by railthey could be greatly lightened ,I nnd per-haps reduced to li t t le more than! 150 Ions.Objects of 150 tons can certainly (lie movedby railway provided specia l Itrucks are em-pioyed l and the brid ges] and culverts overwhich they have to pass are sufficientlystrong.: j

1 ; IThe Continental railways have n larger

loading: gauge (i.e., tunnels nre htgher andthere is more space on : <Jt!n-r side of thefour-foot way} than Drllish lines and thecurves j would probably! not "pr< vent thetransit 'of a vessel 100 feet long. But themovement of these boats by railway wouldinterfere with the supply »of th4 Germantroops , and probabl y oucupv the line overwhich they were passing for twe or th reedays, i This would bn n serioi s matterwhen there is an army of a mill on and ahalt which draws its supplies of ammuni-tion arid food over two Dr three lines ofrail. ! : j :

Nor could these smalt and a itiquatedsubmarines effect rij uch. Tlie planwhich (he German Navy will nore ' pro-bably adopt will be this—to b ing \ sub-marines round under cover of darknes3from Wilhelshaven and sneak them 1 intoOstsnd: Against this.'lhbwever, effective-precautions could be taken by tl}e BritishNavy. It has only to rriine the approachesto Ostend heavily to shut up Ihd Germansubmarines as in a trap.

STORY OF LILLE' S DOUBLE ORDEAL

PARIS , Tuesday!Several unpublished details regardingthe two German occupations of Lille oregiven by the correspondent of the '"Jour-nal d<s Debats," who visited the region.

A German officer arrived in a motor <iaron August 24th and announced to theMayor , M Do la Salle , that the town wasabout to be occupied by an army corris,and that a war indemnity would be levio|d.The Mayor answered that Lille , havingbeen declared an open town , he agreed jtopay an indemnity of ono hundred millionfrancs , provided it was in (iccordanrewith the Hague Convention . f

The town was occupied for eight daysby a force equal to a quarter of tho popu-lation. Two days later thirty thousandG«*mans. under (ienernl Von Bertrab,entered and behaved perfectly correctly!.

A few days after the occupation theMayor pointed out that the conditionshad not been fulfilled, a? a quarter of tliopopulation amounted to only 60.000. ».-ijswas due to the severe fighting goincr on inOamorai and Le Ooteau district , wheteall available troops wero engaged. Inthis circumstance the indemnity was nei-ther asked (or nor paid The only sumpaid was a fine of fifty thousand franc*lnflicUid on the newspaper "La Croix duNord" for publishing scandalous revela-tions concerning the mode of life of th'eofficerb during their stay. I

The occupation lasted nearly a fort-night On September 6th no Germanswere left in the town , but numbers weri»continuall y passing through the regiori.and occasionally the town was visited bysmall bodies of troops. I

Prior to tho second occupation on Octolber 13th a few shells wero fired on thJtown , and hostages were taken us a pun!ishment for firing at the German soldierswho were continuall y passing through tlietown. Consequently the reappearance othe ("tormans in force provoked a panicand the inhabitants fled in the directiorof Roubaix, Tourcoing, and Hazebrouck.FRENCH STORIES OF H E R M A N

AMSTERDAM , Tbiimdiiy.The defentler <> f the fortress oi Li>'ge,

Ijcutenam Gemtrul Leinan, has written anotjble account of the bombardment andfall of Fort de Loncinc , one of the Liegedefences, which is reproduced in the"Vossischc Zeitunc ¦ "

In his introduction the deneral givesa description ot tlie fort with ull techni-cal details , and then continues —

On August 7th the Germans had occu-pied the whole tow n , as the lack of annner line of fortifications enabled them

to attack all the forts on the right bankof the Meuse from the rear. From thismoment the bombardment of the fortsifrom the left bonk of the Meu.-e oould beopened.

Fort Loncine is situated to tho norui*west of Liege , on the great main road toBrussels, and is of the latest and mostmodern construction. The bombardmentbegan on August 11th with 10 and 6 centi-metre, guns. On the 12th and 13th 21centimetre guns took part in the bom-bardment, and on the next morning thoseguns were brought into action whicheffected the destruction of the fort.

General Leman divided tho bombard-ment into four sections. The first beganon the 14th at 4.15 p.m., after a Germanofficer with signalling flags had advancedup to two hundred metres frdm the forts,and 50 directed the fire of the Germanartillery. The bombardment lasted un-interruptedly for two .b.ours, and was di-rected with the greatest accuracy. Afteran interval of half an hour the attack wasre-opened with 21 centimetre guns. Dur>ing the •who'.o night, at intervals , of Unminutes', the Germane Bent their shellsinto the fort, causing severe damage. Theescarpment of the breast of the bastionwas destroyed and the rampart .demol-ished. The armour plating of the wen-d»wn was crushed, and now another dis-advantage - was Very badly felt. All thevaults of thfc.Escarg Wre filled with thefumes 0! th* shells, which exploded partlyin the rampart'and partly in the trenches.The poisonous ;.gmoce rendered any fur-ther stay in the covered rooms impossible,a;nd fOWed the 'General to gather the gaf-risoYi 'td tBe rallying point and in th* (far-

CAPTAIN BRADBURY'S HEHOJCDEATH. : I

It is a melancholy coincidence] to On3that amongst those who are mentioned inrecent despatches is the 'name of CaptainiBradbury, of the '".oyal Horse Artillery,who met his death at the front under mostheroic circumstances. Captain Bradbury¦was stationed in Waterford som4 yeaTsajo in charge of the 53rd Batterjn JI.F.A.He was a fine sportsman and was thor-oughly popular with a large circle of¦friends here. After leaving here he joined"L" Battery of the Royal Horse Artilleryand a short time ago the particulars ofhis death at the front was published. Theyshowed that Captain Bradbury died thedeath of a horo and continued ti directthe fire of some of the mine in his Ibatteryafter one of his legs had been shotfoff.

SPLENDID SERVICES OF "L" .BAT-TERY. |:\ tale of the splendid services rendered

by Captain Bradbury 's Battery has beenrelated by a surviving member riow at¦Woolwich. The Battery with others werecovering the retreat of portion bf theallied forces who fell back on Coui'peigne.On the last day oi the retirement , Uiroughthe non-arrival of an order, they were leftalone in the morning- mist and when thislifted they found that a ridge prel-jotislyoccupied by French cavalry was now oc-cupied by a strong German force \v}th ten¦field guns and two maxims. The batter)'was subjected to a terrible fire from theenemy, and , retirement being impossible.Captain Bradbury had the guns im-limbered Only three could be brought tubear on the enemy and one by one theysilenced the German guns. Two W theBritish gunB were put out ol action andthe third, manned by three men, kept upsuch a telling fire that only one Germanpun remained to continue the comyat. Anequal duel went on until both pnrties hadhad enough of it and ceased fire bdmostsimultaneously A strong Britisll forcecame to the relief subsecmentiy. Of thefour officers with the Mattery three (in-cluding dipt. Kradbtiry ) were killed andthe fourth wounded and of the .TUG menwho composed the .Battery and ijs am-munit ion (Column only 123 have retuni i'd.The three men who manned Ihe I thirdBritish gun which continued the fighthave been given commissions ftud re-commended for the Victoria Ct'-Ks.f Thethree officers killed were nipiiti 'iipd indespatches- and the decoration of thef-oeion of Honou r baa been conferred onthe one wlu» survived . Lie-ut. Gefford.

The Lord Chief Justice on

the labour Question

. ¦ ~T~7. ¦At a mectingToT the Law StiidenU' De-

bating Soviety in Dublin on Wednesday-Lord Chief Justice Cherry, speaking ofrecent legislation, said that looking back00 all the Acts affecting tha interests ofthe working classes there was no

doubtthat the laws of the United Kingdom weremore favourable to ithe .labouring classesthan those of any of the great §ta**8 ofthe world. Even the great United State?,tha most democratic of all nations, hadnot Eiich Acts las existed in these coun-tries, making employers liable, lor inju-ries sustained by Iheir workmen. He

• ¦ t \ 1hoped they would continue!to pass legis-

lation in the future! wlJich would be forthe benefit and! improvement of tbe -work-ing classes." That was the best method ofcombatting the dangers of syndicalismand anarchism! It was because suchlegislation had ibeen|just in regard to theinterests of the, working; classes they had' been saved the excesses which occurred inother countries! The labouring classeshad shown their patriotism in the presentcrisis by going |into,thej fighting line andgiving their lives fortheir country. Theworkpeople recognised, 'as they, all -did,that the present warj was one which theydid not voluntarily undertake, that it wasone which was forcedl upon them, and thatit should be pursued until complete vic-tory was obtained..

Respect for the Dead

T.. the L'ditor .if ¦¦ Waterford News 'Sir —Att ent ion was drawn in 1 lie mcuiPress some years ago ;to the scumlalous

way in w hich pauper I " funeral.-* ' fromthe local u'o.-khouse were conducted.

Apparentl y things have not changedsince These funerals are a striking illus-tration of tin t difference in the treatmentof thr « . l l - todo und i the poor. WlivfrbtfuWl not the pauperj be treated withsome l i t t le respect when he -is making hishist journey? Pur ely he need not be cart-ed off like a dead horse 'or cow . raced withalong the roads and j dumped into fiisgrave, as if he had never been baptisedot led u-ny life but that of a wild niggertrili*. i

Many of these person? who are com-pelled to end their daj-6;in tue workhousehave wen better times; and even in theease of the poorest surely a little respectmight be paid to their remains. They arcin many cases more worthy of it thanjwople who are surrounded with pompand tinsel in their lastjjourney. Some-ti pies a number of very -poor people cometo! the workhouse to follow the remains ofsome friend or relative (to the grav«. Ifthey wait lor the hearfo . they are leftbehind. The drive r, as^ soon as he ar-rives in the vicinity of the Manor , whipsup the horse and gallops away, leavingthe astonished and disgusted mournersbehind. If mourners want to be presentat ¦ the interment , they ere compelled towalk out to Ballynaneef hagh before thehearse and wait until it iimves. Monsi g-nor Hullinan. in his most interesting andnnieh-nevded pamphlet , !"Our Duties toour Dead. " says:— "The Church presumes,unless there is clear proof to the contrary ,which rarely, if ever, exists, that the fouljust departed is saved, though probably inPurgatory. Hence, she regards the lifa-I CFH body of her child i» the robe of asaint , and she guards itt as a sacred de-posit." Even a suicide orjmurderer ehouldbeitre«ted with some respect, ana howmuch more the honest! man or womenwho is compelled by stress of circum-stances to end his or her days in the work-house. There should bej a copy of Mgr.Hallinan's booklet in every Irish work-houec.—Your», etc., | P. B.

^Literature

In the current issue of that excellentqi arterly magazine—" Studies "—Mr.1) iwney » rseently-ipubliahed history ofhi> native city is reviewed by Dr GrattanHood , who says :—

Mr. Edmund Downey e " Story ofW uterfo rd "is at once the most reliablear d U10 most readable work of its. classas far as Ireland is concerned. In fact itia the first serious attempt at presentingan historical narrative ol the City ofW iterford , properly documented, und,moreover, it is written with all the charmof style attaching to the author of"T hrough Green Glasses." The bibli-og aphy prefixed to the work is ample evi-de: ico of wide reading and research, ftis mite clear that Mr. Downey equippedhir l.self thoroughl y for his task , which\vn * evidently done con amorr . It was,inc eed, peculiarly appropriate that sucha v ork should have been undertaken by aWr terfordman , and it is also a pleasure<o udd that the volume has been hand-sot lely produced in the City of Waterford ,pri ited and published at the offices of the" Waterford Jfews."

Starting with the foundation ot the cityby the Ostmen in the ninth century, thenarrative proceeds to bring before ua theformation of the diocese of Waterlord ,the coming of the Anglo-Normans , and theAnj licising of the city in the 13th century.A civic enactment of the year 1385 or-dai led that " any one dwelling within thelilx rties of the city who shall curse, do-tun e. or despise any citizen of Waterfordin Calling him an Irishman shall be con-vicied and .shall give to him 13s. 4d. with -out any grace."

T le complicated question of the co n-mei ce of Waterford in the 13th contury,and the rivalary between the liorts of NewRos s and -Wuterford . are dealt with withsurprising clarity, as 'is also the subjectof Vaterford coinage. Quite vivid i» thedescription of the two vis its, of the ill-fateU Richard'II., in I30-) and 1399 respec-tivetl y The feuds between the Powersand the O'Driscolls against the citizens ofWa erford afford material for good de-scri ilive writing, while the dry bones ofthe Vets and Statutes of the City of Water-ford during the 15th century (as calen-dared by the lato Sir John T Gilbert inthe Tenth Report of the Historical Manu-scri its Commission) are clothed v. rthran cunning.

Ot more Uv.m \coal interest is the gra-phi( account of the pretenders LambertSim lei and I'erkin Warheck As a re-vvur< l of the loyalty of the citizen.- . KingHenry VII . . in 1-107, bestowed on Wuter-ford the title of " LT rbs Intacta " to belion e on the. city anus In 1S2K HenryV I 1 si-nt "a cap of uiaintennnce " to behori e l>efore t)ie Mayor . nnd in 1536 he-'•ill a Mayoral .sword. In returfr thecitiaens , in 1;H4 , equi piHid a strong forcewhol under the command of Lord I*ower .ilis|»Jayed their prowess at the siege ofBou ogne.

Td their credit be it said , the citizen,of Waterford , notwithstanding their slav-ish oyalty to the Crown , stood nobly bythe )ld faith under Klizabeth . .lames I .and Charles I. Rinuccini eulogises the•iood ci'tuens of the Utbs I»\nrV& in 164B.and faucicd himself in a second Rome.Wit! pardonable pride Mr. Downey pointsto t le famous Waterford clerics of the17th century—Kev. Dr. White (who arguedMicoi'ssfully with Mountiov) . ArchbishopLombard of Armagh. Father AmbroseU actding, S.J. (Chancellor of two GermanCniiersities). Bishop Comerlord . Father[.tiki Wadding. O.K.M. . Father Harold .Katl er lignatius Brown. S.J . . andothi1 s.

To many readers the most enjoyableportion of tho present work will lie tbesocia I life of Waterford in the first halfof tl e 18th century , as gleaned from theman cipal archives. Tlie Rules lor theNew Bowling Green , is 1735, might wellaffor I envy to a modern Golf Club. Inrefer mee to Van der Hftgen '* «pWndid" Vi < w of Waterto^d " in 1738-^still hang-ing i 1 the Council Chamber—Mr Downeysupplies an interesting note regarding thisfamous artist , who painted the great Irishminstrel . O'Carolan, in 1726. and whodesigned the magnificent tapestries forthe trirti House of Lords .

To add to the value of the work , thervare seventeen iull-paee illustrations Itis totbe hoped that Mr. Downey will soonbrind out a second volume covering theperiofl from 1750 to the prcseot day

The Most Revd Dr. Oulleu, Aiclibishopof Dublin , paid a visit to the High Schoo.',Stepl'en street , when- in town last we^k ,und expressed hinitelf highly pleased wit Hêvery thing he witnessed, there.

We observe that J. 8. Richsrdson, Esq..one ol our extensive bacon merchant*has commenced the erection of a vastbacon curing cor.cirn , at Suinnierland , inthis city. We understand it w« l. bf , whencompleted, the largest concern of tlie kindin the Three Kingdoms/ At pi eseni MrRicliLrdson has oer 100 men enghged inthe works , -which pre being carried outty day-labour , under his own immediateInspection. By this means, no dounl , hewill be able to get everything not onlyvery well dorie but to his entire stiti.-fao-¦faction . It is gratifying to set so manyhands emp'.oyvl . and in the prospectiveSo much more work for our fellow-citizensin a concern of euch magnitude us thisevidently must l>p. Mr. Richardson hasalways proved himself to be a spiritedemployer mid ,nost energetic man ofhuatrw'£R

We are glad to perceive that HenryDenny, junr. . Esq., has taken the spaciousconcerns in Anne street , known as theWatertord Gl iss.Works. Mr. Denny ha*already moved his hands, a large number,from his old concern in sime street ,and is at work in his new quarters, inwhich he is making very extensive im-provements. He is now engaged in erect-ing a boiler for steam purposes, and has,we understand, ordered about £J,000 worthof new machinery from the other side ofthe water. Jle intends to carry on histrade, 'including that of pack-cloth, baconwrapper , jute, and flax-tow manufactureon the most extensive scale. We wish onrenergetic fellow-citizen every success.The above shows that Wsterford is gcanfrahead ; so also would Irish manufacturein generil if Irishmen had tho wisdom topurchase their own goods, and wear theirown clothes , which are so much betterthan those made elsewhere.

A n-eeting of »he committee for tho pro-motion of baths ond wash-housi'ji wad heldon Monday last at the Town Hall , theMayor in the chair , whrii it wan atnt"<ithat £300 would do all tnot was at presentrequired, and would give the workingclasses of Waterford the advantages '.'fhot and cold balhs, also wosh-houws inwhich good soft v»ater and a drying roomwould be provided, and all at a 1<>W andvery moderate charge. Mr. Wake , M.P.,announced that he had nvui!able a sum"f £G0. which crntlemen had liberallysubscribed tor the purpose.

The fine fall of rnin which we had this\v<?ek tfas mast welcome. Since the year'36 it was never so much required. Thewater nulls in the country had nearlyleased ¦working, and the cattlB were inthe most famishing condition. As t<> thocity, we know got what it would luu edone for water only for U10 rain to oppor-tunely come.

The pumps, too, were runningdry in every uuartcr of the city ; indeedsome few of them were totally dry. Theidea of extinguishing a lire from the foun-tains i? not even thought of. Hence thenecessity of providing an abundant sup-pl y of water for the city waB never moreupparent thun during the present season.

MID-OCTOBER CROPREPORT !

The weather during the closing weeksof September as well as during tne firstweeks of October was extremely soft andmild, and favoured the completion of allI harvesting work. Rarel y has there beenI sucti a long spell of good weather. Inbackward districts this enabled -the lastof the oat crop to be saved in fine orderandlpenlitited the threshing of the gene-ral cereal crops to be carried on jwitlioutanyjinterruption and to advantage in thequality of toe straw.

Thj "Department " Dealt WithCongratulations to Mr. Redmond

A general meeting of the 1 Iriah- PigDealers' Aseociation -was held last even-ing in Longford, Mr. 'P. M'jKenna, JJ> .,OoC.. presiding. :

Tho President said were itl not for {heirAssociation, which extended its protect-ing arm over the whole bodjj of pig deal-ers , the railway and shippng companieshad the trade entirely at Jheir m«cy.An instance of the treatment they mightexpect occurred during the past coupleof weeks , when the Midland [Great West-ern Railway refused to book jpigs throughfrom Western fairs to Manchester, Bir-mingham, etc. , although their generalmanager had been advised byj the IJondonand North-Western Railway Co. thatthat company was prepared ib take 300 to•W0 pegs daily. This was an importantmatter to the men in the pig1 trade, andif persisted in weald do incalculable in-jury and entail serious loss to them -all.He trusted that this cxtraordjnary actionof the Midland Great Western Companywould not be repeated. Aiiopher matterho would wish to refer to, aiid one thathe considered concerned the ifarmers ofIreland, as wel l as the pig dealing fra-ternity, namely, the serious decrease inthe nujiber of pigs in the ooujitry. Thatmorning's papers announced <hat a eom-missioii had been appointed bjjr the Vice-President of the Board of Agriculture toinquire into and report upon this de-crease. It has been hitherto upual in theappointing of such Commissions thatsome consideration would be|(>iveo to apractical knowledge of the subject matterunder inquiry. Now what happened inthis case. 'Mr. T. W. Russell , ignoringtlie County Committees of Acrricuttnr«.the Farmers' Associations throughoutIreland , and the, Irish Pi" Dealers.' As-r-Hintio 'i in his selection, n9s| appointedf"iir salaried <.ioverninent officials. Asa member of the Westmeath C|o. Counciland also a member of the County Agri-cultura l Committee there, he would saythat n ijood deal of unrest aim dissati s-faction exists amongst the members ofthe Agricultural Committees , 8s well asin other counties , against thel red tapeand officialism of "the Department."Howeve r , the time is near atlhand. hehoped , when aH such " departments" willbe governed by men of practical exper-ience in touch nnd in sympathy) with thepeople of the country. One of the causes,

of the decrease in Irish pig rearing is thewry " Department" wTu'ch wa* priginallyCAIUX! into existence to protect and footerthe acriculaural industry of IreUrid.N'ow . the JrUh Pic Dealers' Association ,representative of the w hole oij Ire:.ind.it- members' datiy mixing amoni.'»t thelurmers. ana , indeeil, being nhjiost en-tirely, directly or indirectely, oonnectedwith the nerieultural interests of Ui^(•ountry. has'be^n icnored ui the] appoint-ment of tins Commission. Hud the Vice-President thought it worth while to getat the real cause of the decrease , he couldhave sent the Association some iiotice ofhis intention to form a Cnimi.'sion of In-quiry , and the best practical experiencewould have at once been placed at hisdT-posal— in fact , he micht r.of hpve coneany further than his own Council ofAgriculture for expert aud praciicyil know-ledge of pig-reartni; and the cause- •> ? thedecline One thing was certain, thisl.ite-t Oommission cannot have trie resuitintended , because it has not Oie confi-dence of. and consequently will] not ,gettlie evidence from, the only persons quali-fied to speak on the subject, yi?,.—thefunnern and pig dealers of Ireland.The quest ion of altering Mounlme-Uickand Tullamore pig fairs was undej- <?on-nideration . and the Secretary was in-

structed to arrange for poster* [in thel,«-»l .i,,. . IOp the motion of the President ,|second-

To the Chairman and members of; the.•W&terl*Td JBoard of Guardians.,

Gentlfimen—In accordance with ' myduty, as 'Visiting .Guardian, I, on Mon-day, ! thel I8th lost., visited the WaterfordBnion. iThe Master, Mr. Co«grave, con-ducted me through the premises. I visit-ed; the cWa-rooms where I was afforded

I sn opportunity of inspecting the meat,bread, milk, etc., and all these, in : myopinion, appear to be quite satisfactory.With regard to the male wing of i thehouse, 11 visited the several wards all ofwhich ¦were everything that could be ' de-sired; 'With iegaTd to the female wingof the house, tliis I also found in ezcel-i ent order and -in particular its clean-liness and ventilation were perfect. "WithI 'Cgard to) Mr. fit. Clair'a Ward, in my re-I X)rt totlle Board three years ago I called, ittentum | to the poor ventilation in thisvard.] The" remedy -was recommended butt hag never been applied. I now again jeaDectfullv susccet that the matteriliould bb attended to. As regards thedining hall , this is a flagged room andmust theiefore . be very cold in winter.' 1Iould suggest that the floor, of this room1« boarded. The outlay for the writi hould be' email and the alteration wouldi lake a vkat diftereneo dn the comfoTts oft le ininauea during, the winter months.

I would, also suggest that the ground{ oor of the chape! be boarded- !IWlth regard to the morgue, the custom

ii , I understand, that when a person dies,the corped.. instead of being conveyed totie johspell is brought to the morg/ue. ThisU a matter to which I called tlie (Board'*a tention in my previoas report.

bayonet at night,1 and have accounted fornumerous! small parties of German infan-try left to'occupy their front trenches, butthe positions if we opposing forces haveremained practically unchanged.

In the north of France the fighting hasso far been ol ij preparatory nature alone.As stated, groi nd has been gained by us,but misty wea ther! has hampered aerialreconnaissance j and has at times renderedartillery co-orx ration almost impossible,which factors, aken together with the na-ture of the terr; [in , -have rendered progresssomewhat slow '; Before the actual courseof events in this quarter is recounted itwill assist: to an understanding of whatour troops are;doing if the country inwhich they aro. operating 3s described.

The region bordering on the seawardportion of kho western frontier of Belgiumis quite unlike the region of the plateauxand broad iriver valleys cast of Paris. Itis raamly an industrial region, and, withHa combination bt mining and agriculture,might be compared to our jBlack Country,with fen . lands interspersed be-tween coal I' mi ies and factories.In some direction! the villages are soclose together that this district has beendescribed, as one in mense town , of whichthe various parts ai e in some places sepa-rated by cultivatic a and ' in others bygroups of factories bristling with chim-neys. The cu tivt ted portions are.'veryenclosed, and a e ci t up by high unkempthedges and by o"H< hes. iThe homelikenote given - to . th< landscape by thehedges is acceAtua ed in places by hop-fields, in whoch poles have been left

Next to the ;:oast is the Vallergands.a reclaimed marshy tract drained by in-numerable 'canals and dykes. The wholedistrict is gently itndulatirig or quite flat,except for a hill/ abbut S»;feet high , call-ad Mont des Cats! situated eight milesnerth-east of Hazcblouck, from which ra-diate spurs! like! fingers from the palm ofthe hand and is tiie eminence upon whichstands tho town of Cassel. From any-where save these tv o elevated points theview is much resti icted by i hedges andfrequent belts of'tr -es. Communicationsare bad." The main r >ads. Ihough straight,have a narrow strip, of inferior pavementin the centre, while the by-roads are verywinding. It is in a blind!country of thisnature that our ad vanced gourds nearthe Belgian frontier are encaging theadvance troops < if tl c enemy. The latterconsist in some >lac >s of cavalry support-ed by Jagcr anl & hutzcn detachments,with large numbers >f machine guns , andin others of larger todies 'of infantry.

THE SCARLATINAEPIDEMIC

Tlie epidemic of scarlatina which atpreset t exists' in the city h.as brought touotioo the absolute iioocBaity of alwayshavini the Fever H wpital rcadyi' andequip; ed for dealing vith a; large nkimberof oaflw .

Itwas a case of | what i > everybody 's I busi-ness is nobod y *s business. A consultationwas at ono time held between represen-tatives of t l iel Cornoration. Hoard oftatives of t l ie | Corporation , Hoard ofliuard i ins , and No,s. 1 ad 2 DistrictCounci s. Tho| delegates all agreed thata modtrn disinfecting equipmen t wiis re-quired; but thl'y disagreed on the ques-tion of the basis on Which the differentbodies should bear the expense, and theresult I r as that; tho matter has since jhungfire. A sim^larl consultation has now;beenagain < rranged, for , and it is hoped thatit will le fruitful of some practical result.If . not , we bee |no reason why the Hoardof Gua diahs should iiot take the ntces-sary ac ion. They are the body primarilyrespon ible tor j the Fever Hospital. Theypay tin doctors who piave, charge of it .thev iii* *>:nt tile nurses , and they main-tain th: building. That twing so. whyshould they nit also see to the properequipm 'lit? This neiv disinftH'tiny ap-Purali^ would .I il is stated , cost rtome-thing o1 er JMOii! and if the (Juardians pro-vided i , the expense would fall on' thewhole 1 nion area , am the amount to IK*borne b ¦ the individu a l ratepayers wmildbe very small. |In tlie rn-/autlme, tha dis-infeotin [ apparatus at present in u.»v , ¦ ithe hos )ital is [not . ir the words of' 'un-official , competent for iiainfeeting an oldsuit of t lotfr es. IIt is-1-tilted that the long spell of du l l ,

dry wea t her which we have had was re-sponsibl e for tlie oulb'ciik ol scarlatina.There w is no rain .to fl jush the sewers I< Tweeks; nd .coinp liiintsj were being madeby the resident!) .>f maiiy di.-1ricts uf theoffensivfj smell.-* einanj .ting fn> in seversand maphol ps . | These complaints werenot without loundation and although ' theoffensiv< odours|may have had nothing todo with the scarlatina] enideniic , theymost certainly were not calculated to im-prove th : health' of the city. The keepingopen of :he schools was one of the primefactors which helped to spread the feverso rapidly amongst children , and casesare known of scjn ie children in a familybeing in ected with scarlatina while theirbrothers or sisters coi tinued to attendschool regularly! This was simpl y tanta-mount j o inviting ai epidemic.

Warning to Intending! Emigrants

The Emigrants' Information Office ina circular issued thislweek gives A wain-ing to thoae who intend Jo emigrate to theColonies or the United Jitates. Tliecircular says that owning to tho war , tolabour conditions andito risks incurred r.tsea it is necessary for those who are think-ing of leaving the United Kingdom toweigh well the difficulties which existoverseas.

l-arge numbers (saya the circular) ofskilled and unskilled labourers are out ofwork iin Canada at the present time, andit would appear undesirable for anvemigrant to co there now. A great num-ber of establishments! have closed downaltogether of are running- short, and withreduced staffs: though, in some intsances—as in the cane of flou r mil ls , pulp andpaper mills , textile mills and in clothingand shoe factories—the war has causedgreater activity, both for male and femalelands. Coal mininir is busv bdth in N'ovn

Scotia and British Columbia, but inBritish Columbia many 'metal mines andsmelters have closed dawn, throwing largenumbers of men out of work. The usualdemand for female setVBnts from thiscountry has declined , as many household-ers are reducing hands, and women dis-engaged from factories, offices , or storesare taking up domestic service. ThestrikeB of moulders at Smith's Falls{Ontario) and of sheet metal workers atToronto are still unsettled.

¦All assisted emigration to SouthAustralia has been stopped, and also toNew Zealand , except that of female ser-vants. Owing to recruiting for tlie war,assisted passuges to New South Wales OPVictoiia are not available, oxrept underRpecia? circumstances, ' for men betweenthe agei of 18 and .'13. Owing to inter-ruptions to stripping caused by the war,numbers of wharf labourers are out ofwork, and their unemployment has re-acted upon other trades.

Tho labour market at the Cape is dis-organiBed. and there is no demand loranyone except sheet metal workers. Manyof the following workmen are out of ¦work—painters , printers, tailors, bricklayers,furniture makers, coach niakerH , and sud-dlers. There is no demand f."/r morelabour in other parts of South Africa.

In lihodeaia work i\n mechanics isiiigh' y paid , but intermittent, and livingi* expensive , there is no demand fir u:'--skilled labourers, as coloured natives areemployed The Chief Secretary at Salis-bury warns Europeajis ogainnt poin<r intoRrodesiii in search of employment , asthere is no present vunsupplied demandfor labour , and many persons are in adestitute condition.

A report has been received to the effectthat the labour market in the UnitedStates of America is overstocked ; that 'unemployment , especially among un- !'skilled laboururR. is very "prevalent; un<J (jthat competition for a vacant berth is as ,keen in hew York as irj 1/ondon. 'British j iemigrants would be illodvised to go toXew York in search o£ cmplo; meut , es-pecially in view of the high cost of livingand the heavy general expenses.

Women and girls »hould be verycautious iin accepting offers of employmentin any capacity in Central or iSouthAmerica or in Mexieo,| even though acomparatively luige salary may be offer-ed. Tho status of femaj e ^wage earners isrot the same in these cpuntnes as in theUnited Kingdom. It would be wise, be-for£ accepting any sudb offer , to com-municate with the British Consul in theitistrict from wlj ich tha offer comes, andto wait for his reply before accepting it.The terms of the engagement should beembodied in an ogTeemj ent in which .theconditions ol service aê made perfectly {clear and the signature to tho contract jshould be ful)y li-galixeil by a Consul o f 'the country to which thfi emp loyee is ,:going before -he leuves the United King-dom
