The facts very simple. The man Thomas
kane, tenant, attempted to shoot his landlord JAS
Bali, in Ireland, but only wounded him, and falling
in his attempt made his escape to this country The
British Government sent a civil officer after him,
and asked our government to give him up, under the
extradtion clause Of the Ashbrton treaty, between
the United States and Great Britain, by which both
countries were pledged to each other to render up to
each on demand and proof all muTderers, forgers and
such like. The demand made for kaine, and
the necessary proof furnished to the United States
Court, and Of its judges, Belts, decided that he
should be given up. But by this time an excitement

Irish population of New York, and their sympathies

THE OLD OAKEN BUCKET.

How dear to this heart the of my childhood
When fond recollection presents them to view
The orchard, the meadow, the deeptanSed widow God
And every loved spot which my infancy knew;
The widespread pond, and the mill that stood by it.
The bridge and the rock where the cataract fell;
The cot of my father the dairy house near it,
And cen the rude bucket that hung in the well
The old oaken bucket, the ron-bound bucket,
The Undiscovered bucket that hung i'll the well.
The moss covered vessel, hail as a treasure;
For often nOOn when returned from the field,
found it the source Of an exquisite pleasure,
The purest and sweetest that nature can yield
How ardent seized it, with hands that were glowing,
And quick to the white pebbled bottom it i.ll
Then soon the emblem of truth Overlooking,
And dripping with GOODNESS, il rose from the well;
The old Oak en- bucket, the irOn-bound bucket
The moss-csvered bucket, arose rom the we'll
How sweet from the green NOISY him to receive II,
And poised ON the curb, il inclined TO my lips!
Not full gushing goblet could tempt me 10 leave it,
Though filled with the nectar, the fabied god sips;
And now. far removed from the loved situation,
The tear Of regret will instinctively swell,
As fancy reverts my fathers plantation,
And signs for the bucket that hung in the well;
The old oaken bucket, the irOh-bound bucket,
The moss-covered bucket that hung in the well.

THE OLD OAKRN BUCKET.-This beautiful and
popular song Or ballad, said to have had its origin
under the following circumstances, which gave IT adj
ditional interest.
ssSome years ago, when Woodwork, the printer,
and several other ssOld New Workers. were brother
typos in a printing Office which was situated at the
corner of Chestnut and Chambers Streets there
very few places in the city OF New York, where one
could enjoy the luxury Of a really ''good drink -
Among the few places most worthy of patronage was
an establishment KEEP, by Mallory Frankfort street,
on or about the spot where ST. Johns Hall re-
Gently stood. Woodwork, in company W I'll several
particular friends had ''droppcd' in this place
water, which Mallory was fanioos for keeping.
''Thc liquor super excellent, and W oodworth
seemed inspired by il for, after taking draught, he
laid his glass upon the table, (remembcr reader, if
YOU please, that in those 'rarc old times man
rarely met friend without inviting him to imbbe,)
and smacking his lips, declared that Mallory's ean
de re was superior to amy he had ever tasted.
'No," said NJ, ''you quite mistaken; there Is
thing which, in both estiu,aions far sunpass
this, in the way of drink
"What is that % asked Woodwork, obviously.
''Thc drausht of pure fresh spring water, that we
used drink from the old oaken bucket that hung in
the well, after return from the labors Of the field
"A sutry day in the summer"
''The tear-drop glistened for moment in W ood-
worth's eye. ''Tiue true - he replied, and soon
after quilted the place. He returned to the office,
graspcd the pen, and in half hour, "The Old
Oakcn Bucket" one ofthe most delightful compost

The quantity OF American cotton received in
Great Britain in the four years from 1889 to lSi2
was three miilions nine hundred and sixty eight
thousand bales, giving average of nine hun
drcd and ninety two thousan nd bales; and % feeble
was tho demand in that period Of british free trade
That the average prices in the last year but little
exceeded, AZ we have stated, five pence per pound.
in this depressed state of the English cotton
market that the tariff Of 1912 into operation.
Ia the four succeeding years, those of the tariff
OF 1912. the quantity received in the market Of
Great Britain was five millions and eighty thou
sand bales, giving average of one million two
hundred and seventy thousand bales, or almost
thTee hundred thousand more than the ap,rage IF The
Jiee-Tdde period; and the natural consequence of
this was not only fall of price, but fall in the
actual amount received for il; whereas ACCORDING
to the doctrine Of the honorable member, prices
should have increased.
Now, why was it that this increased quantity had
TO seek a market in England Clearly because we
had almost annihilated the domestic market The
domestic consumption had fallen in ls42 TO two
hundred and sixty-seven thousand eight hundred
and hfty bales; and il required years to start gain
the then abandoned inills, and still more years tc
build new ones. BY degrees the domestic demand
was restored. and the consumption rose, in lS46-7
TO nearly half q million, and thus largely dimin.
lshed the quantity for which we needed to seek a
market abroad. The average increase Of growth
was half million, but the average increase OF the
quantity thrown on the market OF England was
under three hundred thousand. and to the deduc-
ton thus made was due the fact that the fall OF
prices was not far greater. To what was that dc.
duction due? Was il not to the tariff OF lS42 which
encouraged the building of mills and furnaces,
and under which our domestic production of cloth
increased. per head, fifty per cent; to the rapid
growth Of trade in the ZoAoerein, where the Ger.
man farmer is thoroughly protected in his efforts to
bring the hammer and the spindle to the side OF his
plough, aud where, under that efficient protection
the consumption of. cotton has grown in fifteen
years three hundred and fifty per cent, or from
forty millions Of pounds to one hundred aud fort,
niuio's; and to the increased consum ption of Rus
sia and Of Belgium, the paradise Of protst iion? I'm
questionably il was. But for protection, here md
elsewhere. the planter would have been ruined in
the period from 1S42 to 1916.
