Ripe and the wild man himself contrib
uted his share to the uproar. Al last the
Knight obtained, by dint OF squeezing and
some pushing, place in front, when, to
his very great horror, he beheld figure
that far ecipsed the portrait without doors.
1t was a man nearly naked, covered with
long shaggy hair, that grew even over his
nose and cheek bones. lie sprang about,
sometimes on all tours, but always uttering
the most fearful yells, and glaring on the
crowd In manner that was really dan
gerous. The knight did not fell exactly
happy at the whole proceeding, and began
heartily to wish himsefback in the House,
even upon a committee Of privileges when,
suddenly, the savage gave more frantic
screen than before, and seized upon
morsel Of raw beef, which keeper ex-
tended TO him upon long fork like a
tandem whip-he was not safe, it appears,
at close quarters-lhis lie tore to pieces
eagerly, and devoured in the most vora-
cicns manner, amid great clapping ofhands
and other evidences Of satisfaction from
the audience. 'I'll 20 now thought the
knight, for God knows whether, in his
hungry moods, he might not fancy to con-
! clude his dinner with n member OF Par
lament Just at tbs instant, some sounds
struck his ear that surprised him not lit
tie. lie listened more attentively: and
conceive, if you can, his amazement to
! find that, amidst his most fearful cries and
wild yells, the savage was talking Hishi
Langh, if you like; but it is truth am
telling you; nothing less than Irish. Then
he was jumping four feet high in the air
eating his raw meat-pulling out his hair
by handlus-and, amid all this, curslng
the whole company to his hearts content,
in as good Irish as ever was heard 10 Ira
lee. Now, though the Knight had heard
of white Negroes, he never happened to
read any account of an African irishman;
50 he listened very closely, add, by de-
grees, not only the words were known to
him, but The very voice was familiar. At
length, something lie heard left no further
doubt upon his mind; and, turning to the
savage, he addressed him in Irish, al tho
same time fixing look of the most scru-
tin'zing import upon bin.
"' Who are you, you scoundrelP sald
he Knight.
"BiIly macabe, your honor
60 And what do you mean by playing
of these tricks here, instead If earning
your bread like an honest man?'
| "' Whistler said Billy, 'and keep the
S 'crct. Pm earning the rent for your
honor. One must do many queer thing
that paws two pound ten an acre for bad
| land"
This was enough, the Knight wished
Billy every success, and left him amid the
voclerous applause of well satisfied au-
diences The adventure, il seems, has
made the worthy knight great friend TO
the Introduction of poor-aws, for he re-
marks, very truly, that more Of Bllly's
countrymen might take fancy to a sa-
wage life if the secret we're found out.
