& OuH friend Faxon, of the Louisville
Cburier, has been on visit to his friends in
GAINESVILLE, as viii be seen by the following
from the Chronicle:
Ithas been ascertained that the apparition
lately seen in Kentucky. and supposed to be
the devil, was certain Louisville editor
who used to live hereabouts. He was out
recruiting his health, and his excessive mod
esty prompted him to choose darkness ra-
ther than light for his perambulations,
fearing that the ladies would become enam-
ored of his beauty and either follow him of
OF do something else equally rash. Seen
'by moonlight alone" we can readily mag
inc why he should be taken for his Satanic
Majesty. The mistake was quite natural.
In reply to the above, Faxon draws the
following graphic picture:
This is pretty good, coming, as it does,
from man whose twisted eountenanee can
only be accounted for by the fact that when
he was born the nurse, after washing him, in
stead of drying him with towel, wrttng haIa
out; whose ugly phiz has been cast upon grid
irons for twenty years past to draw the salt
out of red herrings, and upon fire dogs to
keep the babies from crawling into the fre,
and who never appears upon the streets that
he does not scare children to death and
throw dozen women into mysteries. The
fellow enyies our good looks. That's whats

The project of invading Ireland by means Of a
tunnel starting from Coney Island, and to emerge
somewhere In the city of Dublin, not far from the
Lord Lieutenant's castle, is now much discussed
by the best engineering minds IN the Fenlan
ranks. The objection made by Chief Engineer
Craven, of the Croton Department, to the con-
struction of the Broadway Underground Railroad
to wit that il would interfere with mains and
gas pipes-would not apply. it is conceded, to the
liberalizing excavation beneath and across the
Atlantic The tunnel would be far frorl an unre-
muneratiye work, it may be urged--as, after the
Fenians had used it, and annexed Ireland as the
most Eastern State of the Union. they could sell
it out at so many dollars per yard for general
railroad purposes.
