XR VIDETTE EATERS.

t'sr.a • lie finee, when the Dublin yeomanry Were
o t port. -cent duty, the main guard of a eel tain tiL
zileer C^rps; being Rationed in Stephen's Orgill, neaf'
the refidence pf their Captain, Sir Jona
very fine pair of leverets, which were intended as a
prefent for the Knight, by the blunder of a drunken
higler, were left at the guard bottle. Without any
very toirotte infinities after the owner of the leveret,
they wets Ordered to he dreffed for fupper ; and, in
addition to the contents of their haverfacks, afforded
a very comfortable regale to the men on duty. Scarcely
was topper ended, when the guard was ordered to be
turned out, and two videttes, or orderly men, baying
n-tifi,.d to them the appt nach of the vi i,ing officer,
immediately rode on to give a fimilar warning at
the next military poll. The Officer, who was an
Englithm tn, fonn after atrived, and having infrefted
the guard, enqtaired of the ferjeattt, had he fern his
videttes Now the honell ferjeant, thoogh a good
praelical foldier, was totally Ignorant of the termer
de suers?. The fimilittkie of founds (truck his ear ;
his conlcience accufed him—he thouOtt the leverets
were enquired after; and he replied, with evident
contemn, Why, pleafe your honour, we ate
them." What," exclaimed the afloniflscd Officer,
" ate -the videttes, ate tb 4:nes ! and in the
name of wonder, what have you done with their
arms?" 1' Why," anfwered the fetjeant, " we ate
them toe ; we ate them, legs, beads, arms, and all ;
but we then did n .t know they were your hollow's."
The aflonifhed officer thought it a folly to remna-
nt-ate, and fled with horror from a body of men, who
feemed to unite the carnivorous propenlities of the
anthropophagi, to the digeflion of the coarich.
