DISTINGUISHED AUTHoR.-The first
grand ball of the season in Paris came off at
the Tuileries on the It'll January. The special
correspondent of the New York World tells
the following good story about one of the
three thousand invited guests:
A certain class of Americans, seldom or
never heard of at home, are pretty sure on
arriving in Paris to turn up at the Tuieries.
OF course they can only get there by inter-
yention of the American minister, who is bor-
ed without ceasing to put them through the
presentation ceremony. As the court grows
moreexcusive, II has been found necessary to
make some distinction in regard to the char
acter and position OF the candidate for the
honor OF an Introduction. That is n man is
supposed to be something, or to have done
soinethDg,in order TO entitle him 20 the distinc-
fion OF representation at court" As in the
case of Dickens's barber, the slime must be
drdrn some,rhere;" and as the aristocratic
shaver, with proper care of his calling, stop
ped at co1t-hearers, so the representative
ministers at the court of France must stop at
certain grade In the social scale In present
ing their constituents" but how to find or TO
decide the proper point or line of demarca-
ton Is sore puzzler TO Mr.. Dayton. 1t re-
wives the Old question as TO what constitutes
gentleman. Is 1t wealth, or intelligence,
good morals, or good manners; fine clothes,
or aristocratic blood relations?
But TO our story There arrived in Paris
about New Years day certain Yankee
American, who called on the minister with the
modest demand to be presented TO the Emper-
or. And what Is the character or claim of the
pirty, II the question asked at the embassy. He

The Roaring Irishman.
nY VIM. MAa1NN. IL. D.

BY VIM MAGINN. Ii. D.
There was lady lived at Leith,
A lady very stylish, man
And vet in snite of all her teeth,
She fell in love with an Irishman--
A nasty, ugly Irishman-
A wild, tremendous irshman-
A tearing, swearing, humping, humping rantihg'
roaring Irishman.
His face was no ways beautiful
For with small pox twas Scared across
And the shoulders of the ugly dog
Were almost a double yard across,
o. the lump of an Irishman-
The whiskey- devouring ITshnanc., ., ,ho
The great he rogue with ms "oiue''"' "''e"''
fighting, rotng lrishnan'
One of his ewes was bottle green,
And the other one was ont, my dear;
And the calves of his wicked looking legs
Were more than two feet about, my dear.
o, the great big Irishman--
The rattling, battling Irishman--
The stamping rampng, staggering, staggering
leathering swash of an irshman
He took so much of Lundy foot.
That he used to snort and snuine, W
And in shape and size the fellows neck
Was as bad as the neck of a buffalo,
Th .h ,bnndavng' bInndering Irishman-
The slashing dashing smashing, asning, thrashing,
hashing Irishman
His name was a terrible name indeed,
Being Timothy Thaddy Mulligan;
And whenever he emptied his tumbier Of punch,
He'd not rest till he filled It full again
The boozing bruizing lrishman-
The 'toxicated lrishman-
The whisky, frisky, rummy, gummy, brandy, no dan
This was the lad the lady loved,
Like all the girls of quality;
And he broke the skulls of the men of Leith,
just by the way of jollity;
o the leathering Irishman-
The barbarous, savage lrishman-
The hearts of the maids and the gentlemens heads
were bothered, I'm sure by this irishman.

From injuries received in my right eye, when q

tered and was frequently unable to sleep at night
variety of remedies had been rcsorted TO with

resort of having the ball taken out of its socket in
the hope of thus finding relief.
In the meantime, most providentially l noticed
one day in shop window bottle of POOR RICH
ARDS EYE WATER. had never heard OF it be-
fore, but determined to try it, and did with the
delightful results. In very few days the painful
irritation was removed; could bear the strongest
light and went forth to the enjoyment of life
now keep bottle of it always in the house. and if
eye seems at all disposed to annoy me- give ii

say. further that my wife used to suffer severely at
times from protracted pain in and her eyes, and
