MAX O'RELL IN AMERICA. HIS IMPRESSIONS OF OUR Y ANKFE BIUiTHUliN. Veni, v'ili, scripsi. Max O'Kell lias made a six months' visit to the United StAws, aod the inevi- table Volume ùf impressions is about to follow. Tins time tiie gentul ot itic of ljational iiinijii- rs l'i. giveu a foretaste of his book in mi article contributed by him to this month's i'urunt. It must be ctinfessod that the artcle does not exhibit the writer's u*ud liveliness—a fact which may, no doubt, bo accounted for on tho supposi- tion that he is keeping his best things for tho book. One witticism, however, is worth quoting. Keferring to the 1 iw-necked ball-dresses Worn by ladies when receiving afternoon callers, Max O'Kell says:—" It in not only the' bud,' as she is cailt,d, w?w is in fuil warp,tictt, it se tile Loui's mamma, or aunt, or ootil, in looking at whoso bare necks 1 have often been inclined to exclaim 'Ladies, throw a veil over the past 11 THIN MES AND FLUMP WOMKN. That which struck me most in America, from first to last (writes Max O'Kell), is ilia total ab- sence of stupid-looking f.?ce?. All .?e not hand- some, bu, .11 are intelligent a i beaming wÜh activity. In my opinion it is in this that Ameri. can beauty mainly consists. In the large cities of the East the first thing which caught my atiention was ihe thinness of the men and the plumpness of toe women. This seemed 10 hint that the former lived iu a furnace of activity and the latter in cotton wool. This impression soon deepened into a conviction. Ttio more I saw of these large cities and the brilliancy, wit, and refinement of society in them, the plainer it became to me that, if America had thus early ivalied the older nations of Europe in alt the elegancies of fashionable life, It was because of it4 treatment of woman, ft seemed to me that her lot was as -or to being perfection as "0 earthly lot could be. A respect amounting to reverence is shown for her, and it appears to be the chif ailll of her protectors to surround her with luxury and m ike her pitth through life a sunny UIl, So far as adding 10 her mental and physical grace goes, this plan of making tvoty woman an uncrowned queen 11,.8 answered completely. Seeing her high posit ioo, she has set herself at work "'1 fill it becomingly, and it is the cultivation ot America's daughters, it is their charming indepen- dence and a consciousness of their power, that make them so attractive and render American society so d.-lightlul to the stranger. In their treatment of women the Americans might give more than one lesson to the men of the 0." World even to the Frenchman, who, in the matter of politeness, lives a good deal, I urn afraid, on the reputation of his ancestors. The respect for woman iu America seemed to me to be perfectly disintere-tad, purely Platonic. In France ibis respect almo-t always boldr on gallantry. A Frenchman will alw .ys stand back to let a woman pass, but he will geneially profit by the occasion to take a good look at her. THH COUBlNATIOM OF SACKED AND TEOFANK.

Did Brady say unything more than that you wero to meet a man numeu Boyton ?-He told nie who h was, and that he was to meet him that morning coming from the King's Bridge Hallway Station, and that he was to point out Mr. Burke, cluiirmaii of tha Prisons' Uoird.

He did not, read the proceedings in the Hag of Ireland afterwards, but he knew thittliiii paper was one of tho reputed organs or the Fenian orga- ui5niol1, and that O'Uonovau Koss i, the head of the Feniaas in America, wus one of its correspon- dents.

He denied that he was the Mr. John O'Connor, of Cork," spoken of by the convict Delaney, and was willing to be oon- fionted with Delaney if thsy thought. it necessary, Uo understood that the Attorney-General did not suggest either that Mr. O'Connor, M.P., was the man or that he was not. < The Attorney-Genet*! said he had no instruc- tions one way or the other about It.

Mr. Lockrrood observed thstthls was, of course, a very eerious matter for Mr. OVQG=. a The Preeldeot thought the statement by the AUorMy-Owtal wooia suffice. Mt. ittmnw iauu's coiiMronawa I of ine Attorney-Genera) proposed to put in copies of letters to and from Matthew Harris. It had been arranged between Sir a. James and Mr. Lockwood that the copies should be accepted In place of the originals Mr. Arthur O'Connor observed, in the absence ot his leader (Mr. Lockwood), that these lfttters-th. originals of which were taken from Mr. Harris's house by the Govemment--on tlieir return, having no necessity to keep them, Mr. Harris destroyed tliem, and he was not disposed to dispute the accuracy of the culiies. Further than that be (Mr. A. 0 Connor; personally knew nothing. The Attorney-General proceeded to read the copies of the letters referred to. The first was dated December 4, 1877, end was from Divitt to Harris, in which Davitt Stated that Parneil, Lowden, und himself had agreed upon the list of objects the previous night. This was, no doubt, about the use of Power's name. It would meet with opposition in America, but to ignore him on such a representative list would be impos- sible. He (the writer) thought it would be difficult to turn the Lnnd League movement from iis legiti- mate purpose. William O'Brien would do immense scrvice by his letters from the West. The "Strollers" were triumphing sll alone the line. The second letter waa dated January 28,1880, and was from Michael O'Sullivan to Matthew Harris The writer said he was very much afraid be had got into a very narrow-minded set of men, who were honest and earnest enough, but who :t:Jr:ron:w in f?ct. thoueh they :e very flashy, they were of little ?.pa.ity. Egan, Da,itt, and Brennan were assembling by them- selves, and nobody knew what objects they had in view. He was willing to go any length to sup- port the principle of Irish independence in its extremest form, but he was not going to be led by the nose by a little cliijue devoid of Judgmentand capacity. They were without, IIn eye on the past or the future, and he believed the agitation would result in no practical good. The thing was to extend by visiting North and South. If tbey stripped the league of its Shell, they only found' Davitt, Brennan, and Ellan. They should send men fdr- ward who had plenty of ability. "Send Brennan, Davitt, Egan, Boyton, T. D. Sullivan, nnd M'Hugh (barri.ter.t.lnw) to a meeting in the North, where M'Hugh might be understood, though he was no great things." (Laughter.) A letter, dated the 28th of February, 1880, from Michael O'Sullivan to Harris enclosed a cheque for £10. On the 4th of April Mr. Dillon wrote to Harris, agreeing that the state of Mayo required serious consideration. He found, however, that it would take an organiser of great skill and judgment to do any good there, and as yet he bad no such man at his command that he could offer for Miyo. unless Harris thought he could undertake It himself. On July 10,1880, Mr. Michael Davitt wrote from Washington-square, New York, to Harris, con- gratulating him on his splendid letter to "that rag of an Irishman." The letter would render itn- portant service. Perhaps he (Harris) was not aware that John O'Le vrv was there, having come over from Paris to upset his (Davitt's) work.

In nil except the last- named (in which Mr. D.

The divisions in which the elections caused the greatest interest were undoubtedly those of Ovstermouth, Skattv, Tyriteunaw, and Fenderry. la the two fast named the interest wis chiefly aroused bv tha opposed cindidatures of Sir Hussar Vivian, M.P., and Mr. J.

Sir Husefy Vivian is reported to have had a tonwali u hard tight against Mr. Davies, but i* genera ly supposed to have triumphed. At Oysteruiouth there were (for a wonder) two Conservatives in tlie field against "no Liberal, the Squire of Kilvrough ted &11-. Nicholi Morgan having ns a common antagonist Mr. John Taylor, managing director of the larits grocery concern of that name. There has i been no love lost between these catnbatatte, but it is expected that the great Jooallntluenet of Mr. Morgau (who is chairman of the local board) has stood him in good stead at this election. At Sketty there ara also three candidMtel-two Radicals and olle moderate Conservative. Ma- John Powell has undoubtedly, made the most strenuous efforts to secure support here, and it is possible that, he may havo found a eeat, even againit the undoubted power of hir. Hichard. The list of candidates shows a preponderance of Hadi- cais, and there are, undoubtedly, splits in their camp in every direction.

MASSACRE OF MISSIONARIES. HORRIBLE MUTILATION OF THE BODIES. A GERMAN STATION DESTROYED BY ARABS. LIBERATED SLAVES CARRIED AWAY. The Timet of Thursday, in a stop-press edition' publiahed the following telegram from Zanzibar of Thursday's date:— The German Mission station at Tuga, fifteen miles west of Dar-es-^laam, where a mnjorlty of the slaves captured by the German war-ship Leipzig lust month have been lodged by order of the German Consul-General, was attacked and utterly destroyed by the Arabs on Sunday last. The station, which was entirely without protec- tion, contained, besides the slaves, nine German missionaries, male and femalo. Of the latter one is reported to have escaped, but the other eight are believed to have been massacred. The bodies of two men and of one woman iBwarians) were found barbarously mutilated with knives. All the slaves and the mission eervants were carried away. The extreme facility of re-capture offered to the Arabs by the disposal of the Leipzig's olives doubt- 189 prompted these raids. At Dai-es-Salsam on Friday some of tiyse re-captured by the Arabs wero actually under the guns of a German gun- boat. Large numbers of Washeheri Arabs from Muscat have joined the coast Arabe. The French uiissions,cspecially one near Tuga,are reported to be in imuiineut danger. The Bagamoyo Mission offers a specially tempting bait in tha thousands of helpless refugees who are daily fed by the charity of the priests. The Germans at Baga- moyo or the fleet ate utterly unably to protect or to assist them. The Arabs who are aoir joiniog in slave trade operations on tlie coast are believed to be princi- pally drawn from the neighbourhood of Kilwa Liudi, and, possessing much greater wtalth and in. flueute than Bushiri, they are likely to overshadow hiw, Their action will give the revolt, which would liave long since died out ltad not the reten- tion of Bagamoyo and Daises-Salaam by the Germans kept it alive, a new lease of life and vigour. Thii is specially important to tho lluga- mora Mission, whose whole safety lias hitherto been entirely dependent on Busliiri's goodwill. Scyyid Abdul Azij, tho Sultan of Zanzibar's brother, is reported to liav j left the Petsian Gulf with tho intention of seizing Petnba Island. A profoundly unfavourable sensatioo has been caused in Zanzibar by the receipt of this fresh news of the massacre of Europeans. nEUEPTlO OF THE NEWS ly LONDON. Tlie"Ccntral Jiew-s" say s:—The telegram announc- ing the attack on the mission station at Tuga and the subsequent »:a.s-acie was rend at the general meeting of the Ideal secretaries of tho Church Missionary Society on Thursday, and produced a most painful sensation amor g the delegates who were present from all parts of the kingdom. Much sympathy was expressed with the lUvaiian Mission, whoso representatives were the vhtims of the Arabs' brutality. Tho Church Mission has no miwionarieo in ittei immediate vicinity of Dar-es-S.ilaam, but great is felt 101' tho safety of ilia native converts, ug liest whom the most, vindictive efforts of the slave traders are directed. The secretary of the L'uiversities Mission has received tho following cable messago from Zanzi- bar, dited January 15:—"Magola goods detained l!t- n alleged rea«on Meyer's ransom rOI"in.d ?t Ie?, The exphimtiou (,f this dispat"h is as fol- l's :-80me tune back Dr. Meyer and another German subject were captured by Hushiri, tha chief who commanded the attack ou tho uiUsion station at Tu<<a. It appears that Dr. Meyer and his companion" ere released on promising to pay a iniuniii, the amount of which, it is sta'ed, was £ 1,200. The ransnw has not toep forthcoming, and, consequently, the natives have shown a opposition to lay hold of the property or any white man which may be within their reach, in order to satisfy their demand. The goods leferrt-d to in the dispatch wero stores which were on the way to Alagola for the use of the Universities Mission stations, which lie corth of the Pangaoi Hiver. The news of the latest atrocities on the East Collet has caused a most painful impression in the missiouary world, and in well-informed mis- sionary circles the feeling exists that further reprisals on the part of the slave traders may be expected.
