IRELAND AND AMERICA. John Bright,

IRELAND AND AMERICA-John Bright,
the English liberal, at recent Dublin ban
quet, in the course of his speech thus re-
terred to America:
Il wish to refer to letter which re-
ceived few days ago from most intelligent
citizen of Dublin He told me that he be-
lieved that very large portion CT what he
called all the poor people among the Irish
men sympathized with any scheme or any
proposition which was adverse to the i'm
perial government Cheers, and he said
further that the people here are rather in
the country than out of it, and that they are
looking more to 4merica than they are look
ing to England Cheers. We'll, | think
there is good deal in that. Hear, hear |
" hen we consider how many Irishmen
have found refuge in America, do not
know how we can wonder at that state
ment. You will recollect that the ancient
Hebrew, in his captivity, had his windows
open towards Jerusalem when he prayed.
You know that the follower Of Mohammed,
when he prays, turns his face towards Nee
ca, and the Irish peasant, aohen he asks
for food, and freedom, and blessings, his
eye Jol(o,os the setting san. Loud ard con
unued cheering The aspiration Of has
heart reaches Jeyond the broad atlantic, and
IN spirit he grosps hands ,ouh the great re-
pu6hc Of the Vest. Loud Cheers"

REJECTED.-Thc vote on~thc question Of
calling Convention to revise our present
State Constitution has been very light
We have official reports from over twenty
counties, embracing most of those casting
any considerable vote, showing about 25,-
900 votes cast, and majority against a
Convention Of about 1880. 1t is, there
fore, certain that the majority Of those who
have taken interest enough in the question
to vote have decided against calling any
convention to amend the Constitution, and
the State will continue to be governed un-

Threatened Invasion of Canada.
New Xnrk Nnr Ik


The Evening Express says the NEST ex
teusive preparations are no,; Icing made at
Roberts headquarters for grand move
ment against Canada. During the last
fortnight some of the leading military Off
GERS OF the organization have held consul
tati0ns in regard to the martial programme
to be adopted when the Fenian forces move
from their respective states across the from
tier. The result of their deliberations is at
present profound secret, but Geus. O.
Neil, Spear and president Roberts frankly
'avoW that the new movement means work
against the British authorizes in Canada.
1t IS said the dsci pline of the next army of
INVASION will be far superior and ,nore
effective than that of which the detaeh
ment at Lime Stone Ridge was.
The advance guard, twelve thousand
strong, have already been enrolled under
the tide Of ''Fenian Avengers" who have
pledged themselves to be ready at any min
ute to prevent the execution of Lynch and
the other prisoners. These have been di-
Vlded into Regiments and brigadcs, aud
when all the men deemed necessary shall
have taken this pledge, operations will
commence.

Escape Of a Fenian Prisone,

Buffalo. Nov ID.
a Toronto specisl to the Euprcss SAYS:
Heal. fenlan, escaped from here this
morning under the following circumstances:
In turning Queens evidence he was giving
greater freedom, and was permitted to sleep
IN the chapel with the turnkey. Last
night he retired to bed at the usual hour.
At two clock he was seen lyihs in bed
with his clothes on. At half: past two one
OF the tuInkeys had occasion to go up stairs.
and found Real had gone The other turn
keys We're Immediately aruueef, and the
POLICE in the three divisions Of the city were
notified. The escape was effected in such
daring manner, that he must have had an
accomplice to assist him. From an ezami-
nation Of the surroundings it appears that
Real, after leaving the chapel, went down
stairs to the next fat and entered room
used tor the storage Of bedding, &c. He
then took heavy mattrasS out, tore it into
strips, made his way to the door in the
third Hat, which gave exit to the open air
On the east side the door is about thirty
feet from the ground and strongly fastened.
Real had provided himself with an iron bar
"ith which ne wrenched open the door, and
after tying the manufactured rope to the
wood work on that fiat, lowered himself
down on what is kuown-aS the outer guard,
and escaped through fence OF the ems,
side, which Is n 4 very diapi1ated condi-
ion.

\ METEORIC JoKE-The St. Paul pa

raj hundred star gazing, meteor watching
people Of that city, by some wags who pro-
cured dozen large sky-rockets and num-
ber Of Roman candles, and at once COM
menced sending them up in the darkness,
to the astonishmcnt of hundreds of behold
crs, who considered the ryrotechnic cxhi-
bition as the regularly advertised shooting
stars. The comments Of many, observers
were amusing, and not few still contend
that the meteori; shower Of 1866 was far
superior to the demonstration in 1888, be-
cause in the former the stars were of many
brilliant colors!

THE HOP TRADE IN JUNEAU County,
An idea of the value of the hop crop Of
Juneau county may be obtained from the
following figures, given by the Mauston
Star:
The books at this, the Mauston depot
on the Milwaukee and St. Paul railroad
show that during the month Of October five
hundred and eleven bales of hops weighing
81, $50 pounds were shipped from this depot.
The average price paid for these hops was
Fifty cents per pound and the amount re-
celved here during the month was forty six
thousand and ninety dollars The quantity
shipped from other places in the county, we
have no means Of aScertaining, but the
above figures are sufficient to show that our
hop producers must receive in the aggregate
very large sum for this years crop

The Error of the North.
From the Richu ond Whig

If the Northern people could, by mira
Gle, be shown the real condition of the
South; could see into the interior of our
households and business affairs; could see
how straitened we are in our circumstances
could learn how many families that hitherto
knew, experimcntally, little of life save its
enloyments and luxuries, are brought face
to face with its hardships and privations;
could see the struggle that is going on IN
every household for the bare neccssares Of
life, the economy that Is practlced, and the
patient endurance of old and young, male
and female-if they could see how eager all
are for some honest employment, however
humble, that will yield bare livelihood !;
could see how tolerant those who owned
hundreds of slaves, who were at their beck
and call, now, are of the freedmen IN their
newly acquired privileges, and with what
cheerful good humor they conform to the
new order of things; treating those former
slaves with the utmost kindness; II, too.
thew could see the perfect indifference of
all classes to politics, their freedom from
passion and partisapship if, We say, the
Northern people could, BY a miracle, be
shown these things they would wonder at
their own excitement, and exclam against
the mischcvious dcmagogues who have
deceived and mised them. While the
Northern people, thus deluded, are going
about like roaring lions, the South is as
quiet as lamb. The radical measures are
all calculated for condition of things bor-
dering on revolution, while the Southern
people are as free from every thought or
purpose of revolution as the dead who sleep
their last sleep in the ancient catacombs.
We are all utterly disgusted with politics,
and desire Only to be allowed to attend in
peace to our business affairs.

TRUE WORDS. = Ex Governor Seymour,
Of New York, in his late speech at the
Cooper Institute, said, with truth, that
eve have more 20 fear from the South
if it accepts the doctrine of subjugatIon than
We ever had to fear from its armed rebel
lion we cannot ens'ave men without enslav-
ing ourselves. We cannot have Govern
ment whose northern faces shall smile devo-
ton to the popular will, and whose south
crn aspect shall frown contempt, defiance
and hate to the people OF eleven states.-
The south has comparatively little to fear
from miSgovcrnment. 1t is not wise or safe
to tramp!c on those who for years, with des
peratc courage, held their ground against
the millions we sent to the field, and the
thousands Of millions Of treasure spent liz
the c0ntest-a contest which filed our
homes with mourning, loaded us down with
debt and taxation, aud wrought great and
lasting changes in policy, the .maxims and
structure Of our Government. \ wise set
temcnt Of peIding questions will do much
TO build up the prosperity OF the south an
unwse policy will do more to break down
the wealth and prosperity of the north. y
SOUTHERN PREJUDICE TO YANKEES. =
The way southern rebels abuse the Yankee
is terrific. Here is specimen from the
Mobile 1iIn,ee:
1--WE ask the Yankees particularly to
come, and we repeat it, we want no better
men, when once their interests become we'd
ded to us and to our soil. We tell the mar
dy lumberman Of Maine to quit his frozen
soil, and with his muscles of steel, to come
and till a grateful soil, which returns a
thousand fold the seed entrusted to it
Their prcjudiccs will soon wear out, and so
shall ours, By constant and daily friction.

RESCUE OF A CREw--Captain Galloway
who ,e-built the schooner Tolelo at Two
Rivers last winter, reports that on the
morning of the lth inst, he discovered
signal of distress eight miles to windward,
and Immediately started for it. The vessel
proved 10 be the lillian Jones, of Chica-
90. The Jones was water logged. and la
boring hard. There was heavy sea run
ming at the time, and as it was evident that
the schooner could not long withstand her
injuries, Capt Galloway very generously
remained by her for several hours, when he
succeeded in taking off her officers and
crew, consisting of six men, and taking
them into Chicago, next morning. In
less than ten minutes after taking off her
crew, the Jones capsized and sunk. The
scene of the disaster was about thirty five
miles northeast of Racine.
We believe the Jones was built in Mani
towoc in 1882, and named after the brother
of Benz. Jones, Esq.
