but failure will como of the new move
ment The thing however is not too badly
PLAYED out 10 alarm the Canadians.
TIE Fenians have succeeded in again
arousinC the martial ardor ofthe Canadians,

patriotic appeals to arms, bugle-blasts,
smoking railway trains ready to dash of
to the frontiers with armed men, ETC., etc,

dailies. As for the Fenians, they observe
the same old brilliant strategy Of keeping
their movements SO profoundly secret that
the Government will be sure not to catch
more than nine-tenths of them should they
attempt to commit any overt act.
