THE FENIANS AFLOAT

The New York papers are filled with highly
spieed details OF the sailing from that port on
last Monday and Tuesday nights of a Fenian
expedition Of several thousand freshmen wet
Grams who fought in the late war with the
Soutn) IN three vessels; the whole force under
the command Of Ii. Dorian Kilian and Colonel
j. p. Downing. So far there is a remarkable
unanimity in the statements, but as 10 the
number OF veterans afioat, and the destination
and objects OF the expedition, we have abap.
oonec as hopeless the task of reconcilIng the
discrepancies in the various published reports
An average would make the numbe embarked
something over 5000. Some journals send
tnem away down East TO the Island of Gamma
Bello IN the Bay Of Fundy, al the entrance OF
fassamaquod bay, where they will have a
Chance to astonish the blue noses of New
Brunswick to which province the Island be-
longs; while others contend that the ssBermp
das" is the collective point" In either case.
now the California feet with 1869 men Il to
Cooperate effectively we are unable to per.
ceive; unless their ''seven war ships" take an
overland route, on an express train.
The whole affair looks slightly amixed'' 10
an outside observer, and the reports NAV he
manufactured for the purpose OF misleading
John Bull who is growing sensitive.
Granting the sailing OF an expedition fo
operations in ala OF the cause of Irish indie
Pendence, there Is no doubt the Bermudas
could be captured by sudden dash, rs they
contain an area OF only about twenty square
miles, and white population of 5000 or less.
with about 600 or 200 colored people They
are fortified and held BIZ a small number OF
British troops. Their situation would make
them very valuable, az base for privateering,
but the holding OF them against the naval
power OF Great Britain would be a herculean
task, even with large force.
The island OF Campo Bello, the other objec-
tive point lies of the northwest corner OF the
State OF Maine, in a direct line with Machias
ana PASSPORT, is eight miles long and three
miles broad, and would be a base for opere
tons against New Brunswick, the chief port of
which is the city of St. John.
Another curious phase OF this affair, is that
TINS enterprise is said TO lie wholly under
the management of the OMahony branch of
the +. b., which has ridiculed the Roberts and
Sweeny plan of the invasion of Canada. But
we shall see what will come of it.

THE question of smoking in theatres has
led to species of compromise at ..Grand
Theatre" Amsterdam. As many Of the vis-
itors, particularly the ladies, object to the
weed, the managers arranged a mon smok-
ing night, and il was on the whole, so sue
cessful that the managers resolved to make
another trial. If satisfied with the result,
he is determined to have two nights in the
week set apart to those who do not pal ronize
c'naster or habanas. In some parts of Italy.
tin boxes are placed just inside the theatre
entrances for the reception of remnants of
cigars which are smoked during the acts.
when the visitors sally out to the adjacent
cafes for a few minutes. The cigar ends
thus preserved are afterwards cut up finely.
mixed with other tobacco, and distributed
among the aged and other poori theasylums
and refugees for the INDECENT. In Milan the
duty Of collecting the cigar remnants in the
cafes, is undertaken by number Of the
Sister Of Charity.
