THE FEMALE MAN.

At the Cork nomination, the other day, a Mrs. Scannell
presented herself, bedizened with green ribbons, and took
part in the following scene :
Mrs. Scannell : No cheers ; all for the Faynian pri-
soners. They are confined in prison. Three cheers for
the Faynian prisoners. (Cheers.)
Mr. M'Carthy O'Leary, Coomlegane, came forward to
propose Mr. Boyle.
Mrs. Scannell : No Saxon need apply.
A Voice (a supporter of Mr. Boyle's) : For justice's sake
let us be heard. (Hisses.)
Mr. Powell : Mr. O'Leary ought to be heard, at any
rate.

Mrs. Scannell : He is no O'Leary ; he is a Saxon, bad
luck to him ! (And she stood up in an awful fit of rage
attempting to get closer to Mr. O'Leary. As she could not

do this she gratified h erself by applying her thumb gracefully
to the tip of her nose, and outstretching her fingers in the
form of a fan, making very expressive gestures all the time.
This little amusement was accompanied by a couple of "balls"
as loud as her lungs would allow, and which she accom-
plished with the greatest ease. The spectacle was enlivened
by loud cries to Mr. Boyle to withdraw, and cheers for
Mr. M`Carthy Downing.)
Mr. O'Leary was going on to say that the Church in
Ireland could never have been called a national one, when
he was again interrupted.
Mrs. Scannell : It's fifteen hundred years too late. •10
hell with the Saxons.

The shouting and yelling still continued, and after Mr.
O'Leary had made several attempts to address the
electors, he retired amidst the most awful uproar.

Grosvenor on the one side and Mr. Bright on the other; -
and you will find that those two men agree scarcely on
one point. And if, as I hear is to be the case, Mr. Glad:
stone intends to form his Government from the extreme,
section of the advanced Liberals, he will disgust the men
of the more moderate portion ; and if he also proceeds to
carry out the revolutionary programme which 'Mr. Bright
has enunciated, he will frighten them out of their
wits. Then I think it may be possible thit the
moderate men of both parties may unite
together. There are rumours that Mr. Disraeli is about
to retire to the purer and more elevated atmosphere
of the House of Lords. I hope it is true, for he has
always been an impediment and a stumbling-block to the
union of the moderate men of the two parties. lam not

about. Two-and-a-half years ago there was very nearly

speaking of the time when Earl Russell retired. I know
what was going on then, and I am very well acquainted
with the negotiations that then took place, and I have
no hesitation in saying that if Mr. Disraeli had been
in the House of Lords, or if he had been in heaven or
anywhere else than where he was, that coalition would
have taken place, and a strong and a firm Government
would have been formed. That chance was lost, but some
other time we may be more fortunate. My only hope is
that some coalition of that sort should take place, as with
so small a minority the having a Conservative Government
again is almost hopeless."

The reported death of Mr. Charles Moore, one
of the newly-elected members for Tipperary, is con-
tradicted.

At the Liverpool Police-court on Wednesday Ed.
Osbaldistone was committed for trial at the assizes on the
charge of having, on the previous day, personated a voter,
named Dinsmore. The vote was given for Gladstone and
Grenfell, but one of the Censervative agents, to whom
Dinsmore promised his vote, discovered the fraud, and gave
the prisoner in charge. The prisoner said he was induced
by a man who said he " would make it all right," to person-
ate Dinsmore.

this statement. A moment's consideration would show that
it cannot be correct. The time of Mr. Maine's return to

[ADVERTISEMENT.] Holloway's Pills.—All our Facul-
ties.—Ahnost all disorders of the human body are dis-
tinctly to be tract.d to impure blood. The purification of
that fluid is the first step towards health. Holloway's
pills recommend themselves to the attention of all suf-
ferers; no injurious consequences can result from their
use, no mistake can be made in their administration. In
indigestion, confirmed dyspepsia, and chronic c ustipa-
tion, the most beneficial effects have been, and always
must be, obtained from the wholesome power exerted by
these purifying pills over the digestion. Persons whose
lives wore a confirmed series of sufferings have been re-
stored to ease, strength, and perfect health by Holloway's
pills, after the fruitless trial of the whole pharinacopccia
of physic.
