Irish home rule will take a back seat Jor a few years. For tbis state of things tlie Home Ruler themselves are chiefly responsible. A faction divided against itself can not accomplish anything.

A prominent lectureï in New England states that the editora of the "Atlantic Monthly" held the "Autocrat of the Breakfast ïahle" under advisement for several months, fearing that Dr. Holmes was displaying too much egotisin.
