FOUNDATION OF REBEL HoPEs.-In
recent speech, that noted rebel VIM.
l.. 1ancey secuted any proposition for
peace, but said:
We have something to hope, howev-
er, from this division of the councils of
our enemies-from their fierce party
strife and jealousies. Upon this hope
let US build our own unity-upon their
!iealousles let us build our own harmo-
ny-upon these Castings Of party in
tercSts let us bish togethc,s ous OWL
patriotic energies-upon their selfish
ness and folly let us base a prayer to
God that He would enable rs to exhib-
it in behalf Of our beloved country a
selfsacriticing wisdom, both in opinion
and action, in all matters appertaining
to our defense.
Loyal me1. can plainly enough see
from this what policy and duty require
1t is to Danish the party spirit which
Democratic demagogues have stirred
up and arrayed against those who must
lead the country out of its troubles.
A DIFFICULT IRIsHMAN.-An Irish
man Ill a witness box is proyerbally q
difficult subject. That others have
found Patrick slippery colt to chase,
appears from the following anecdote:
The captain Of steamboat, seeing
an lrlshman smoking away abatt the
funnel, stepped up to him and said:
''Don't you see that notice stuck up
over there ?"
'>D'ye name that bit O painted tin :?
TO be sureI see it,
"Why don't you follow it? -
"1 haven't seen it move; it's nailed
fast, Pm considerin'."
81 mean to say, haven't you read
that notice 20
"Divil bit; sure don't know how
to rade.'
''Well, slI', It says, mo smoking al
lowed herer"
''Be the powers! it doesn't consarn
