THE WAY WE STAMPED OUT THE CATTLE-PLAGUE."
At later hour in the day the Office of the
irish People was visited, and several copies of
the paper we're found there commencing the
President of the United States and his policy
This term of 'his policy" was often referred to
in that paper and in the back numbers, but they
never saw any explanation OF what that meant;
and the editor, who was subsequently arrested,
was unwilling to explain the policy" and
evSded doing so by saying that he did not know
what it was. The authorities considered it pre-
posterous that an editor should write about
thing that he knew nothing about and he and
the proprietor were accordingly committed for
contempt by the magistrate, who made the
remark that if he could find out what the
''policy' of the President of the United States
was, he would stamp it out they did the cattle
plague. The Home Government, hearing of the
articles in the Irish People, Immediately sent
sixteen regiments to Ireland to take possession
of the Office. The authorities also contscated
the shooting sticks" OF the prlntng-room as
being contraband of war. Four little boys who
were looking in the window, and flattening their
noses against the glass, were Immediately
arrested as lending their countenance TO the
affair.
In the lower counties, boy with a'"pike,"
that he had just caugh IN brook, was sent to
the Castle, and the pike was taken possession of
oy the magistrate, who immediately ordered out
the local military to watch for other bows with
fish, as he had received orders from the Four
Courts TO arrest any one in his section found
with "pikes;" and he told the commander
OF the militia that they must stamp them out as
they did the cattle-pague>
BY despatch sent by the Agent of the Asso
ciated Press, from Liverpool we learn that the
Cove OF Cork himself was arrested, and that
further particulars Will be sent on.
Intelligent Fenians on this side consider the
stamping out of the Fenians an impossibllity,
as Head Centre Stephens has more "stamps"
In his possession than the whole English army
in Ireland; and they say that the party in Ire
land who has the most "stamps" can do the
greatest amount of stamping.
There are now iron-cads stationed all around
the coast of Ireland, each vessel but eight miles
apart; and with guns that can carry with ae-
curacy four miles, it seems almost imposs,ble
that any considerable number of Fenians from
New York will be able to land. The English
Government has already sent over a large num-
ber of boots, with big nails in them, intended
mainly for stamping out Fenianism.
The Office of the Ocean Telegraph at Valentia
was seized by the Irish police, because word had
been sent TO the authorities at Dublin that there
were some "forty batteries" in the building.

was the case The police not being able to and
any batteries about there, merely some cups
and wires running into them, concluded not to
disturb the Office but merely to anchor man.
oEwar out in the harbor 10 protect the Govern
ment against a charge by the clerks of the Com
pany, as they had received word from America
that Mr.. Field had said, on 'the lst of December
there would be new rate of charges adopted
by the Company" and the authorities were not
going to be caught Mapping, like the Queens
Own we're in Canada, but intended to be ready
for any charge that might be made.
Later in the day, towards evening, the offices
of other papers in the interior towns we're visited,
and all articles contraband were con6scated. In
the town of Kilkenny was found in one OF the
newspapers two tails, illustrated with cuts,
which were supposed to have belonged to the
original Kilkenny cats of history; and their tails
had been put in the paper to create sensation,
Just as Mr.. Bonner is going to put tale of
Henry Ward Beechers in the New York Ledger
next week, Apart from this incident there
were no signs of rebellion in the interior dis
tricts, and the fears are confined entirely to the
police and soldiers of the large towns. The Irish
people themselves are too much occupied In
getting their daily bread and butter to have
much time to understand or to fully explain to
your correspondent the dongs of the military
through the country.

THE ToTHER SIDE OF JORDAN"

AN NEW SONG TO AN OLD TUNE.
We quote the following paragraph from the
papers:-
among the odd FIRE AXIS of French speculation
may be mentioned the opening OF shop tor the
sale of Jordans waters, for the benefit of those
who wish their babies baptized in these honored
waters"
In France, as we're apprised,
When babies are baptized,
The font the limpd element is poured in;
And now it's become the thing
To get somebody to bring
The water flom the other side of Jordan:
But there's nothing to denote
That the water you receive
Is from Jordan-just to venture on caVil;
No, there's nothing to denote
That the water you receive
Has come all the way from Jordan; il hasn't, I
| believe.
For it must your fancy strike,
All waters much alike,
Ifjudged of to appearances accordiu'
And the only sort of proht
That the tradesmen could make Oft,
Would be by saying twas from t'other side Of
Jordan.
Whether taken from a moat,
Or the Jordan you conceive,
'Twould the question TO unravei,
When he charged for it groat,
He'd be laughing in his sleeve,
Saying, sJordan Is long way to fetch it," /
believe"

Hon. John Norrlssey, according to the
Chicago Post, Is a man OF many good traits OF

Thanksglving-Day, which President johnson

Ocean Telegraph, likewise observed by the
Fenians across the water.
AT about halfpast o'clock in the morning
small Irish boy was found with a turkey, and
which was supposed by the police to be intended
for the rations of the Fenian army, then mo.
mentarly expected to land on the quay at
Dublin. The policeman Immediately eonds-
Gated the turkey as being contraband of war, on
account OF its having "drum-sticksn In its posses
sion. The act was Immediately telegraphed to
the British Admiralty office, when four IRON
clads and seven transports we're Immediately
despatched across the Channel, to prevent any
further demonstrations of that kind. The
Admiral of the fleet told our correspondent that
if he found the boy or the turkey he would
stamp them out as they did the cattle plague.
