"Hurroo for Ward! Hurroo!
They was all good nabers Of mine, and
I answered in pleasant voice, "An
right, boys, all right Mavoorneen, och
hone, aroone, Cooshla-macree!" These
Irish remarks bein' received with great
applaus, Iadded, "Hushler! Mushler!"
"Good! Good!'' cried Cap. spingler,

This made the Finians larf, and they
said, "walk up onto the speakers plat
form, sir" 5' image 81.
The speeches were red hot agin Eng
land and her iron heel, and it was re-
solved to free Ireland at onct. But it
was much desirable before freein' her
that large quantity of funs, should be
raised. And like gen'rous souls, as they
was, funs was lib'rally contribooted.-
Then arose an excitin' discussion as to
which Head Center they should send
'em to-OMahoney or McRoberts.-
There was CRATE excitement over this,
but it was finally resolved to send half
to one and half to t'othcr.
Then Mr.. Finnigan rose and said we
hav' here tonight sum citizens NV
American birth from whom we should
be glad to hear. 1t would fill our harts
with speechless joy to hear from man
whose name towers high in the zoologi-
cal and wax tigger world-from whose
pearly lips " @@.E
"Says 7, "Go slow, Finny; go SLOW"

Finnigan, moderatin' his stile summit,

use. rose amidst perfeck uproar of
applaus. @
l said we had convened there in a
mectin' as understood it, or rather in a
body as it were, in refrence to Ireland
If know my own heart, every one of
us there, both CRATE and small, had an
impulse fiowin' in his boosum, land
consequently" added, we will stick to
it similar and in accordance Herewith,
as long as spark of manhood, or the
people at large. That's the kind of man
l be!
What is this crate meetin' driving at?
What's all the CRATE Finian meetins dri-
vim at all over the country?
My Irish frens you know me well
enuff to know that didn't come here to
disturb this aneetin'. And if you'll no.
tiss it, them as are up to this sort of
thing alters come to some bad end
There was q young mani will not
mention his name-who disturbed my
show in certain town, two years ago,
by maxim remarks disrespectful of my
animals, accompanied by an alloosan to
the front part of my he'd, which, es you
see, it is Bald-sayin', says this young
man, "you sand-paper it too much, but
you've got a beautiful he'd of hair in the
back Of your neck, old man." This made
a few ignent and low-minded persons
larf; but what was the fate Of that young
man? In less than month his aunt
died and left him farm in Oxford
county, Maine! The human mind can
picture no greater misfortin than this.
No, my Irish frens, am here as your
naber and fren. l know you are brave
and warm hearted. l know you are
honest in this Finisp matter.
But let us look at them Head Centers.
Let us look at them rip-roarin' orators
in New York, who've bin tearin' round
for up'ards year, swearin' Ireland shall
be free.
There's two ies-O'McMahonys
and Moo Roberts. One thinks the best
way is to go over to Canady and estab-
lish Irish republic there, kindly per-
mittin the Canadians to pay the expen-
ses of that sweet Boon, and the other
wants to sail direck for Dublin Bay,
