The Present Condition of the Irish. We extract the following from n, letter to tlio Charleston Courier by Geo. W. Williams, a prominent merchant of that city, and a native of Burke County, N. C., Who is at present in Ireland on a Visit: Talk about American slavery, I hut sure that I have seen nothing in the United States in the darkest days of slavery that will compare to the poverty and dcs'ifution ol the slaves of Ireland. We stopped at Mallow a 6hort time to look at sonic of its ruins, and unexpectedly stumbled into a Fenian l aid, which was telegraphed to all parts of the country, and doubtless found its way over the cable to the Queen City. Driving quietly through the streets, wo saw considerable excitement among the women and iuveniles In n nlmi-i tiiue we came in sight of the military. On overtaking them we found they had quite a number of Fenian poisoners, mostly boys and young men. They were nr rested for breaking into the bar racks and helping themselves to arms and ammunition. We saw poor women on '.he'r n ;es beseeching the officers for the release of their sons who, they alleged, were at their homes v\ hen the robbery occurred, but these distressed crea turcs were treated as rudely as it they had been as many wild beasts; although of the lower class, yet they possessed the aching hearts of anxious mothers I was informed that many innocent persons were arrested and thru?t into prison on 6uspicinn of sympathizing with the Fenians. One of thc^iret questions asked me on landing upon Irish soil was whether L had in my possession any firearms. Two of our Minneeota passengers had their pistols taken from tUem This indeed looks like a small business for a great Government like England to take from a peaceable American citizen, a cork screw, tooth pick and pocket pistol.

Perhaps it is foolish for a handful of ignorant Paddies, to contend against the English Lion, but they will be fdund running their heads against the English bayonets, and^getting their bodies into prisons, until they eueccod in securing something like jnstico.

The Japanese Prinoei?Arrival of Thirty Young Noblemen in New York. Thirty yonng Japanese noblo men, belonging to tho most ill net ri otis families in Japan, under the leadership of Prince Schemidsi Jugad, have arrived in New York from San Francisco. The New York Times says: The yonng gentlemen are sent to this country by the Government of Japan in order to complete their educations, and especially with a view of examining mechanical in ventions. As a general thing, these young Japanese possess very intelligent faces, and gazed around them yesterday with an air of half nlarm, half astonishment, that was auito amusing. They were all dressed in irreproachable black broadcloth, and had it not been f?>r tlioir altnond shaped eyes and cof lee coioreu complexions, t ii o y would hove passed muster ou Broadway for well dressed Spaniards. Prince Schcmidzo Jngad, who lias charge of tlio party, was educated in this count rv, and now oc cupies a v-ery high position near the person of the Mikado. The Prince is about thirty years of age, and has a very preposspssing ap pearance. lie converses in English fluently, and with scarcely a pcrccptiblo accent. He is quite intelligent, and though somewhat reserved and haughty, he conversed 3'cstcrday on various topics with considerable animation, and alluded moro than oucj to his thorough knowledge of the English language and his familiarity with American institutions, lie eav6 that the young Japanese, not one of whom is over twenty years oi age, are very apt and eagor in their desire to acquire knowledge, and will, beyond a doubt, make a rapid progress in the various studies to wincti thv, miij ply thwir minds. Prince Schcmidzo Jugad further stated that the young noblemen are to be instructed with the object of fitting them to occupy important positions in the foreign office of Japan, which has rccently(be coinc a very important department of the Japanese State. Upon his arrival, the Prince, followed by tlio charges, stepped up to the ho tel register and wrote, in fair, le^ibl characters. " Prince Schemidzo Jugad, Japan, with twentynine companions." Soon alter J it - f-- ' waru me Japanese were shown to their respective rooms, as much to escape tho insolent curiosity of the crowd which had gathered in the hotel vestibule, ns to refresh themselves after tneir long jaunt across the continent. The distinguished visitors will remain but a few days in tho city in order to view the objects of interest, when they will he sent in detachments of four*or five to the different colleges throughout the country. Beautiful Ireland Wo know, of course, that Ireland is called the u Emerald Isle," and the color of the Emerald is green, but never had it entered into our imagination that there was any where in thi* world to he seen such verdure, as it charmed our eyes to look upon in the rural disti i. .1 - no reman, and had never sympathized with them, but when I look upon Ireland under the heel ot the oppressor, 1 arn not surprised that her people should rebel against the hardships they endure. The result of the census returns, which have just been published, should open the eyes of English statesmen, and it might be well for our Washington legislators to study the effects of oppressive legislation. VVe see the population of Ireland, which a lew years ago was eight millions two hundred thousand, re dticed to live millions four hundred thousand. This loss of nearly three millions of her population was not l>y the emigration of old men and women, but was the bone and sinew of the country.

[Cincinnati Commercial, Indianapolis Spatial.] A Curious Case- An Indianapolis Woman Takes Desrrees in Masonry and Odd Fellowship. An old man, sixty-five years of age, named George Staats, who was the janitor ot Odd Fellow's Hall, ana has had charge of the private books and work, as well as the keys, for sotne time past, has been under the domination of a woman named Phillbern, who acquired a fearful influence over him, and prevailed upon him to let her witness three initiations iu Odd Fellowsnip while she was concealed from view. There is a rortm nrlinininr* tlm main Kail ni i the Odd Fellow's building desigucd for the reception of an organ, pending which it was curtained, having been in this condition lor some time. Entrance to this room can only be obtained from the outside, and thereto Mrs. P. was admitted by the janitor upon several different nights, and witnessed threo, if five initiations. Site was supplied with the private books and work of the Order, koys to tho rooms and one of the stools of the Encampment. These articles were taken from her a few days sinco by the chief of police. It is said the janitor instructed the woman in three degrees ot Masonry. She makes her boast that sho is an Odd Fellow and a Fice Ma I it - ? son, una nas given evidenco that she knows more than she ought to about Odd Fellowship. Now for the reason tor her seeking that which heretofore to women has been a sealed book. For some time past the janitor, has paid $12 per month for the rent of the woman's house. She wanted more money, and demanded one thousand dollars. This was refused, when she asked for five hundred dollars and a mortgage on one of tho janitor's houses. This was also refused, when she told what she had seen and heard. I Friday night the janitor was tried before a committoc of Odd Fellows and expelled from the Order. lie was defended by the lion. Win. Wallace. lie is now reported as keeping closely to his house. Romance of Railroading. A writer in a late number of Putnam's Magazines gives us this enticing description of a trip across tho continent per rail: " The perfection of American railway traveling is found on that greatest of roads known to the world, the Pacific Railroad. The lucky holder of a through ticket in uno in mo so caneu I'uiimnn cars, who iinda, within the same coach, hia seat by day and hia couch by night, and a restaurant whero he may cither pay a sum of money for all his meal* during the journey, or order each time what he chooses, has a rare opportunity of enjoving tho luxury of traveling in Ins fullest extent. As tho train carries him swiftly along he sees every phase of civilization unrolled as in a vast panorama before his eye ; here in the East, the large city, with all the evidences of highest culturo and greatest wealth ; then tho borderland, where the new settlor and tho squatter bring their cheerful sacrilice of a hard life's work for the benefit of the coming generation ; next the primeval forest and the boundless prairie, with an abundance of animal life, while the em igrant's slow oxen and the Indian's snaggy pony cyo each other suspiciously, and their masters represent, striking contrast, the dying race of the owner of the soil ana tlio undaunted energy of the usurper. Then ho catches a glimpse at the strange Prophet's home, who rules like Mohammed over a host of deluded beings, which ho has drawn to him across the vast ocean and the great prairies of tho Now World, from the very centres of civilization and tho remotest corn* era of Europe, lie rises from his comfortablo dinner and smokes his cigar as ho climbs the Rocky Mountains, with their weird canons and their snow covered heights, and when he awakes again lie finds himself on the Pacific slope, soon to see the QoUlen Gate. opening before hitn upon the still waters of another ocean." ArrLFs as Medicine.?If eaten frequently at breakfast, with coarse bread and butter, without meat or tlesh, apples have an admirable effect on the system, often removing constipation, correcting acidities, and cooling off febrile conditions more effectually than the most approved medicines. nn.

The Greatest Railroad Feat on Record. On Sunday, July 23, a change in the jgaage of the Ohio and Mississippi Railroad was effected throughout the entire length of the road, from Cincinnati to St. Louis, a distance of 340 miles in eight hours. Between daybreak and noon, on Sunday morning, the rails were all torn from their chairs, lifted from the cross-ties, placed npon the new chairs provided for them, and firmly spiked d> wn. It was an off day, ana no trnfic was interrupted. Preparations had been made for the event weeks beforehand. New engines and new rolling stock had been provided, ana on Monday morning business went on, on a new gauge, with a new equipment, as if no great revolution had taken place. But the revolution which has taken place is an enormous one. The New York and Er.ie Railroad and the Atlantic and Great Wcs tern, broad guago roads, which were absolutely dependent upon this road for their Mississippi connections, by it lost a large and most important portion of their trnnk lino. The Ohio and Mississippi Road, which was a New York road, becomes a Baltimore one, and a great feeder to New York is suddenly diverted into a rivul city. This is what iliis change of euage means. Baltitn >re and St. Louis will soon become closely allied. The Baltimore and Ohio Road, the Marietta and Cincinnati Road, the Baltimore and Cincinnati (a* small independent link, affording direct communication with Cincinnati, approaching cotnplo tion will form one unbroken line ot railway ot the same gauge, and identified by interost, between Baltimore and St. Louis. This new alliance promises much for St. Louis, but much more for Bal timoro In import and export trade, and tlie business oi emigration. [Chronicle & Sentinel.

Without the rich heart, wealth is but an ngly beggar. Vanity is a strong drink that makes all the virtues stagger. Truth's supreme regulations come in sorrow to individuals and in war to nations.

A dispatch dated the 22d ult., says that " the bottom is dropping out of the Statoof New Jersey in Warren county. During the last tew days a number of deep holes have been suddenly made by the earth sinking down into some fearful, unknown subteiranean depths.? The first noticed was in the bot torn of the Morris and Essex canal | on the seven mile level between Broadway and New Village. All tho water in the canal went down that hole. Then a half dozen more holes opened in the cornfields and roads, taking down into the bowels of the earth great patch cs of corn, and oven sinking trees oat of eight. In uddition to this, there are scores of great, long and deep fissures. Then on Wed ties nay night, another big hole opened in the canal. Humbling noises were heard under the Methodist church on Broadway, and nobody will venture into the building for fear of its going down. The wild est excitement prevails among the people who deem that any given 8pot ot land in all that county is liable to plunge through half way to China at any moment. Prices of real estate have naturally gone down as the real esiato has.

The steam ing and softening the chopped t'oud by wafer was a fnrtlj^r improvement in the preparation of stoek food, both as to quality and in economical point ot view, and now another and, it is said, greater improvement has been introduced, namely, the grinding or crushing lodder, hay and straw, by which they are made quite soft and succulent, more cary of diges lion, more nutritive, and more pal a'ablc.
