But the Times ought to know that in most of the cases in which they acquitted or disagreed, they did so on account of doubts thrown out by the bench. Thera is not to be martial law in Ireland after all, and that is a blessing, for martial law is an nnmitigated curse. The Monitore states, on the authority of the Bohemian paper Praga, which is'said to be Count Taafe's organ, a fact which is of paramount importance if true. The Praga asserts that Prince Bismarck has proposed to the European powers the question whether, for the security of Catholic consciences, it be not necessary to restore Rome to the Pope. Washington possesses what no other city, perhaps, in the United States does— a woman lamplighter. Her name is Mrs. Welsh. She is of Irish extraction, and is represented as a busy bustling little woman of about 30 years of age. Her district is situated in what is known as Hell's Bottom, and is one of the worst sections of the city, and through this section at all hours of the night, Mrs Welsh may be seen hastening from lamp-post to lamp-post, either lighting or extinguishing. She does not use a ladder, but runs up the post with the agility of a squirrel. On the darkest night she penetrates the inmost recesses of the alleys with a bravery that knows no fear. The lamps along her route are lighted with the utmost regularity, and extinguished with equal promptness. In fact she may be regardeaSt? the model lamplighter of the city. Her husband is now in jail serving out a sentence for an offence which his Irish impetuosity led Mm into, and to retain the position in the family the little woman assumed to take her husband's place and do his work. In striking contrast with this case is that of a six-foot man who has charge of a certain district, and who whistles vigorously while extinguishing the lamps that are in secluded Bpots, for the purpose, it is said, of keeping up his courage.
