A STRING OF ETibermIcisms.

The following chapter of hiberncsms
is takon from a late number Of Chambers
Journal:
ONR Of tho richest specimens Of a real
Irish bull which has even fallen under our
notice was perpetrated by the clover aud
witty, but laundering Irish knight, Sir
Richard Steel, when inviting certain Eng
lish nobleman to visit him. III sir" said
he, "you ever come within mile of my
house, I hope you tciW stop Merei"
Another by the same gentleman is well
worth recording. Being asked how he
accounted for his couutryman making 30
many bulls, he replied: al cannot tell, il
it is not the effect of climate. fancy If an
Englishmdn tcds born in LrelIad he would
just make as many"
THIs, again, reminds us Of that we'll

"Pray, then cir" said the J. p, "what
did you do with itg"
"Do wild itP Well, then, since You must
know, took it home, and me aud my ould
oman made tdy of it,"
Two eminent members of the Irish bar,
Doyle and Yelverton, quarreled one day so
violently that from hard words they came
to hard hlows. Doyle, the. more powerful
man of the two lat the fists, at least),
knocked down his antagonist twice, vehe.
mently exclaiming, "You, scoundrel, RI
make you behave yourself like gentleman" "
To which Yelverton, rising, replied with
equal indignation: "No, sir, never. |

now?"
IT must have been twin-sister Of this
gentleman who, having been nearly
drowned by falling into well, committed
very rich bull, when she piously aud

A coRoNE', in the County Limerick, hi,

the fearful mortality last winter, replied 81

AN old Irish gentleman, so years in bonds
of holy wedlock, was telling over to his
girls the old story of his former loves and
tirtations. "Ahl" exclaimed his daughter
Mary, " it is well for you mamma is asleep
on the sofa and does not hear you "
:" Yesg said the old lady (wide awake, as
it proved, and speaking up in the style OF
Tragedy rebuking Comedy,"l ~ am glad
| am asleep
AN English merchant gives us the fol.
lowing: On opening hogshead of hard
ware, and comparing it with the invoice,
he found it all right with the exception al
one hammer, which had been omitted "Oh
don't be unaisy, my dear SIR" cried his
Irish porter "sure the man took it out to
open the hogshead."
AN apprentice sailor-boy fell from the
roundtob" to the deck, stunned, but little
hurt. The captain exclaimed in surprise
| Why. where did you come from 7
"From the North of Ireland, yer honor ! u
was the prompt reply, as the poor fellow
gathered himself up.
In practical bulls the Irish are even more
famous than those merely logical the rich
eat one we ever heard was about poor
Irish peasant who was houndering through
bog on small ragged pony. In its
efforts to push on the animal got one of its
feet entangod in the stirrup: Arrah, my
boyl" exclaimed the rider, if you are
going to get up, it's time for me to gel

A YOUNG lady once addressed her lovei

kind" replied her wooer enthusiastically
but be my wife-we will all live together
and see if don't beat your mot1e, :"
A DRAPER once recommended a certain
rich material for ladies' dresses to custo
mer. Madam" said he, ait will wear for
ever, and make petticoat afterwards"
This draper, however, is almost outdone by
an enterprising furrier, who iutimates to
"all such ladies as desire genuine furs, that
he will make muffs, boas, ETC., out Of hei,
olcn skins
The next bull that occurs 10 me was ut
tered by poor woman, who, in all the prid,
aud glory Of her maternal heart, was doclar
ing to a kind-hearted listener that since the
world was world there. never was such 9
clever boy as Bll-he had just made two
chairs and fiddle out OF his own head, and
had plenty of wood left for another.
A SIMILAR mechanical genins had thai
Irish carpenter in America, who. in sending
in his little account to farmer. for whom
he had been working, informed him that il
was for hanging two barn doors and him
self, seven hours, one dollar and half"
In direct contradistinction to this 40.
knowiedged attempt at selfdestruction,
we have the story Of certain physician
who, conducting q poSt-m0rtem examina-
ton in case of infanticide, reported that
he was unable TO discover whether the
child was alice at the time of its death, OF
not.
To this we may add the'story of an Irish.
man that nearly died, according to his own
account, through the treatment OF his physi
clan, who. he declares, drenched him 80 with
drugs during his illness that he was sick

IT was in Dublin City that our good
