From the Brooklyn Eagle.l
The hour of Irelands redemption is now
fixed.
1t will occur at twenty minutes past one
O'Clock on the lst OF April.
Then will the buccaneering banner of the
bloody Saxon set in crimson gore beneath
the veTdant sunburst which in triumph will
wave from every shillelah on the verdant
hillsides of the blissful lakes of Killarney,
and elsewhere in the land of eloquenee and
whisky, and the spirit of Brian Boru,
aroused by the exultant ''hurroo" of the
triumphant Fenians, shall awake and pro
nounce the doom of the Sassenach.
n. B.-The unusual length aud coher-
ence OF the above is due perhaps to the fact
that have been listening to Barney Hughes
and L. Malloy Robinson, on Ireland.)
Now is the time to send in your money.
Nothing can be done without ammunition
and our Circle is nearly out of whlSkey and
is on its last bunch of cigars.
Perhaps you would like to know how we
are going to crush the power of Britain!
Our plans are secret and are only known
to those who are acquainted with them.
This is designed TO keep Lord John Rus
sci in the dark.
We shall seize desert island, in some
ocean.
The name of this ocean is a profound
secret.
If a suitable island cannot be discovered
we will have one built.
The furniture of the Fenian Republic will
be moved there, and a brown mansion
built for the accommodation of the Head
Centre.
The Government of Ireland will then he
established and Ireland absOlved from all
further dependence on the British crown.
Amy power recognizing England as bel
iigerent will be bombaTded by the Feuian
navy, which is authorized to sweep British
commerce from the sea, and wipe out the
English fleet.
As soon as the English forces are cleared
out OF Ireland, the Head Centre viii remove
his head quarters to Blarney Castle and dis
pose OF the conquered provinces of the late
British Empire.
If the United States behaves herself we
will give her Canada, and many of the
West Indies as she wants.f
The Isle of Man Wales, Scotland and Eng
land will be provided with REOvisiOnal gov
ernments until their people ;fIe reconstruct
ed On a Fenian basis.
1t Is not yet decided what to do with Lord
John Russell whether to hang him or not.
We shall probably wait till we catch him.
y government as is a government will be
| Immediately established.
The Constitution viii not only guarantee
life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness"
but happiness itself, by abolishing the tax
on whiskey.
The prospect is enough to fire the hearts
of every broth of a boy in the land who is
| especially enjoined to remember that
Ireland is his country,
And his name is Pat MollOy,"
whatever he may have been christened.
And that it is his particular duty to invest
all his spare change in Fenian bonds which
will be redeemed when tho O'MGhOny is
crowned King Of the Fenian Islands.
Yours, wearing of the green,
CORRY O'LANUS.

Advertiser. Six days of sport are provided
for, commencing on the oath inst, and com

almost or altogether of horses unknown 10

such horses as Revenue, Lexington, Brown

Not less than twelve of the past heroes of

glad to see so favorable prospect for the
revival of the national sport of the South,

DR. Richardson has found that one good
Havana cigar would yield, when its smoke
is condensed, Il sufficient amount poisoned
matetr to induce active cOnvulsiOns i'll a
rabbit, and six pipes of common shag to-
bacco Will yield sufficient poison to destroy
rabbit in three minutes & california
Youths Companion.
The deduction is plain and simple: 1t is
very unhealthy for rabbits to smoke good
Havana cigars, especially if they aggravate
their folly by ''cOndensing" the smOke-a
thing which must infallibly produce "active
cOnvulsiOnS" of laughter, or some other
kind of commissions, the author of the above
treatise being in a manner obscure on this
point. Also, it would be in the last degree
tool-hardy and absurd for d rabbit to indulge
III more than five pipes of common shag
tobacco" unless circumstances rendered
1t an object with the rabbit to destroy it
self lin three minutes" and the advantages
to accrue from that object would be i'm
paired by prOcrastinating to the extent of a
minute or two.
The moral of the treaties is palpable rab-
bits should indulge in tobacco only i'll the
stTictest moderation, and it would even be
good judgment in them to abstain from its
use altogether. But we remark here cas-
ually, i'll a spirit of friendly consideration
for the editor of the California Youth s
Companion, that articles written for the in
StruCtiOn Ofra rabbitS ought always to he accom-
panied by the most explicit eXE Elanations, be-
cause of so inferior an order is their intel
lectual capacity that they might otherwise
fail to understand even the simplest prOpO-
sition, Notwithstanding it contained intor-
nation of the utmost Importance to their
well-being.-[ Democratic Chronicle

The release Of Semmes has been foreshad.
owed twice in the Ledger's dispatches, and
the sudden "hitch" | have spoken of while
the work of securing evidence was in prog
ress, was the Presidents own act, and the
result Of full examination of his case bv
the Executive is the order issued this
morning for his discharge from further i'm
rrisonment. At no time, it is said was the
arrest approved by the President or the
Lieutenant-GeneTal,i it being the opinion of
each that the prisoner was fully protected
by his parole. The letter of SemmeS himself
backed up by the legal opinion of Judge
Hughes, his counsel, was so conclusive on
this point that the President was satisfied
his retention was no longer either just OF ad-
visable. 1t is the purpose of Semmes to re-
turn to Alabama Immediately.

THE DEAD AT ANDERsoNvILLE-We find
upon our table pamphlet of seventy -four
pages containing the list of Union dead at
Andersonville. 1t is a sad catalogue, and as
we glance through its mournful pages we
cannot choke down an execration at the
thought that at the very time these men
were passing away by hundreds daily, the
Confederate Government was absolutely on
its knees begging for an exchange of prison
ers and was constantly denied That these
men now rest in far-otf, and in many cases,
unmarked graves, is fairly chargeable upon
those who SO heartlessly rejected the propo-
sitions of the Confederate Government for
a full and fair exchange-Louisville Cour

n We clip from the Amusement Notes


of the New Orleans Times:
Exit Lady dudley, with her two husbands
Enter Lady Isabel, with hers. The next in
succession is to be Lucre=ia B0rgiG. who in
her time had several. and had a remarkable
way of diSpOSing of some of them. The diff
ferent phases of eXceptionable female char
acter seem to form the staple of the modern
sensational and emotional drama. 1t was
not until the Younger Dumas, having struck
the key note, and made a fascinating heroine
of Partisan lorette, set the example, that
our Mrs Woods and Miss Braddons en-
ployed their inventive genius in the estab-
hshment of dramatic school which may
be designated as the wicked-woman walk of
the drama. Well; the public taste it is
which indicates to the dramatist what he
should write, and to the manager what he
should produce.
Yes the taste of the public which he
writes for bat why, out of all the publics,
must he select the particular public which
demands something vile, and thus corrupt
the taste of the other publics, whose easy
nature or ignorance prompts them to be led
to places of amusement where such demor-
alizing plays are presented. =

ENJOYING HIS FREEDOM.-The negro,

placed an obstruction on the Railroad, ahout
two weeks ago, was committed to jail, and
at the present session of the Circuit Court
was convicted, and has been sentenced to
eight years imprisonment in the Penitentia-

ing the difference between freedom and sla-
very. 1t is to be hoped that other freedmen
will take warning from the fate of this un-
lucky fscoundrel, and not conclude as he did,
that freedom consists i'll doing as they please.

EA telegraphic dispatch from Gen. A. NJ.
West, President of the Central Railroad,
received by us yesterday evening, states
that the bed of that road is very badly
washed. At one place three hundred feet
of the track is gone at two other places five
hundred feet of tfestle-work has been de-
stroyed-also, many smaller breaks. This,
Gen. Wes states, will probably prevent the
running ofregular trains on that road for
ten days.

DESCRIPTION OF THE BROOM.
A light cone of brass receives the corn
which is held fast by double row of teeth
made of malleable iron, inserted between
the two rows of corn, and drawn into the
cone by means of screw entering an iron
nut in the handle A brass ferule covers the
nut and gives bearing to the shoulder OF
the cone. Two small brass wires, about an
inch and quarter in length, extend from
the two angles of the center-piece, within the
cone, to the edges OF the broom When filled,
leaving on each side Il small hook to con-
meet a narrow brass band that hattens and
Stiffens the broom instead of sewing. The
difference in weight between this and the
ordinary broom is no more than two or three
ounces and not perceptible. This is the only
patent i'll which the amount of corn can be
varied at pleasure, according as you may
wish light or heavy broom. They wear
much longer than the ordinary brooms, from
the fact that they are not injured by alter
nate wetting and drying, and cannot work
OF shake loose at the handle.
1t would be supertluous to tell house
keepers that the vast majority of brOoms
would last twice as long if some measure
could be introduced that would secure the
corn to the handle till it could be worn out.

SOME OF ITS MERITS.

Among the many advantages which we
claim for this broom, the principal are it's
durability and the cheapness, and dis
patch with which it may, at any time, be re-
newed, and therefore is practical economy.
Any man or woman, and almost any child
of ten years, can make a perfect broom with
out any machinery in ten minutes, and re-
new it as often as il wears out. Farmers
can raise a few hills of broom corn each year,
and having purchased one broom for $500,
can make their own without the expense of
a shilling or penny. And III cities people
may renew their brooms at pleasure, for the
simple price of the corn, now not more than
five or eight cents, instead of paying as they
now do, fifty cents for Il broom that will not
wear half so long. We know of no reason
why handle and fixtures may not last a
life time.
Whenever demand is created for any
article the country produces, some one
stands ready to respond. For instance-in
the spring we want some delicacies that the
season does not afford but they have been
preserved for us. In the summer we want
vegetables that we could not raise, and we
find that some one in the outskirts of the
city has anticipated our wants and brought
them to our door. And may we not believe
that these same men will bring us corn for
our brooms, as soon as we create a demand
for it
