A LITERARY CURIOSITY.

The Course of O'Kelly" is often alluded t
yet very many, we think, have not yet read it
Carmac O'Kelly, the celebrated Irish harp
went TO Doneraile, in the County of Cork, VIII
his watch was pilfered from his fob. This
reused his ire that he celebrated the people in
following unexampled "string of curses -
Alas | how dismal is my tale
lost my watch in Doneraile-
My Dublin watch, my chain and SEAL
FILTERED at once in Doneraile.
May fire and birthstone never fail
To fall in showers on Doneraile
May all the leading fiends assail
The thieving town of Doneraile
As lightnings flash across the vale,
So down to hell with Doneraile
The fate of Pompey at Pharsale,
BE that the curse Of Doneraile
May beef or mutton. lamb nor veal,
BE never found in Donerae,
But garlic soup and skurvy kale
Be still the food for Doneraile,
And forward as the creeping snail
Industry be at Doneraile;
May Heaven, chosen curse entail
On ragged, rotten Doneraile
May sun and moon forever fail
To beam their light on Doneraile
May every pestilen,ia gale
Blast that cursed spot called Doneraile;
May no sweet cuckoo, thrush or quail
BE ever heard in Doneraile;
May patriots kings and commonweal
D'spise and harass Donelaile;
NJ y every post, gazette and mail
Sad lidings bring to Doneraile
May vengeance TALL on head and tail,
From north 10 south of Doneraile;
Nav nroEt op,aIl 4, I'D,
Still damp the trade of Dcneraile
May fame resound dismal tale
Whene'er she lights on Doneraile;
May Egypt's plaques at once prevail
To thin the knaveS at Doneraile
May frost and snow and seet and hail
Benumb each joint in Doneraile
May wolves and bloodhounds race and trail
The cursed crew of Doneraie
May Oscar with his fiery fail
To atoms thrash all Doneraie;
May every mischief, fresh and stale,
May all from Belfast to KinsaIe,
Scoff, curse and damn you, Doneraile
May neither -four nor oatmeal
Be found Or known in Doneraile
May want and woe each JOY curtail
That e'er was known in Doneraile
May no ore coffin want nail
That wraps rogue in DoneraiIe
May all the thieves who rob and steal
The gallows Eaeet in Doneraile
May all the sons of Grammaweal
Blush at the thieves at Doneraile
May mischief big as a Norway whale
Oerwhelm the knaves of Doneraile;
May curses whole and by retail
Ponr with full force on Doneraile
May every transport wo.t to sail
A convict bring from Doneraile
May every churn and milking pail
Fall dry to slaves in Doneraie;
May cold and hunger still conceal
The stagnant blood of Doneraile
May every hour new woes reveal
That hell reserves for Doneraile;
May every chosen i'll prevail
o er all the imps at Doneraile;
May TIL inquisition straight impale
The rapparees of Doneraile
May curses of Sodom now prevail,
And sink to ashes Doneraile
May Charon's boat triumphant sail,
Completely manned from Doneraile;
oh may my couplet never fail
To find new curse for Doneraile
And may grim Pluto's inner Jail
Forever groan with Doneraile.

The soil is rich and productive, varying from
a clay to sandy loan, suitable for wheat, grass,

great fruit country. Five hundred vineyards
and orchards have been planted out by expe-
rienced fruit growers. Grapes, peaches, pears,

ready one of the most beautiful places in the
United States. The entire territory, consisting
of City square miles of land, is laid out upon
general system of improvements. The land is
only sold to actual settlers with provision for
public adornment- The place, on account Of
its great beauty, as well as other advantages,
has become the resort of people of taste. 1t has
increased five thousand people within the past
three years. Churches, Stores, Schools, Acade-
mics, societies of art and learning, and other
elements of refinement and culture have been
introduced. Hundreds of people are constantly
settling. Hundreds of new houses are being
constructed. Price of farm land, twenty acre
lots and upwards, S25 per acre. Five and ten

pears, and we are almost forced to the
conclusion that peaceable solution Is
next to impossible. Polygamy is hope
lessly entwined with Mormonism In
fact, it is almost its only distinguishing
feature. There is else nothing in their be-
lief that would bring them in conflictwith
the laws of the United States, believing,
as they do, in the same God, the same
Savior of mankind, the same Bible and
the same baptism as the large majority
of Protestant christians, with the addi-
tional belief in later series of prophecies
through Joseph Smith, which are found
in their Book Of Mormon.
1t is singular to reflect that while
even now the newly laid ocean telegraph
brings US the intelligence of the
abolition of polygamy among the
disciples of Mahomet, they having be-
come convinced that their degeneracy
and effeminancy may be traced directly
to that institution, here in the latter
part of the nineteenth century, in free
America, which we are taught to consid-
er the birthplace aud home of modern
progress, and the natural and destined
promoter and disseminator ofrepublican
institutions, there should be growing up
without check or hndrance a form OF
government in which the very funda-
mental principles upon which our insti-
tutions are founded, are not merely dis
regarded but violated, opposed and held
up to ridicule.

A DIsGRACEFUL ScENE.-A disgrace
full scene was witnessed in the New York
Board of Councilmen on Thursday last.
Trouble was anticipated as number OF
the members had said that no business
should be transacted, owing to bad faith
on the part OF the President in making
the appointments. A squad OF police
men were accordingly present to pre-
serve order. During the proceedings a
Mr.. Hartman rose in his seat and said
"The President is perurer, and l can
prove it !" A scene of disorder followed,
during which another member threw an
inkstsnd at the Presidents head. The
latter retreated, and the cry was at once
raised that he had drawn revolver.
There was then general rush of the
lobby toward the Chair, but the police
interfered and madeia number of arrests
the Council breaking up in the row.

SAesknx Like Me, and being Treated
Like WOmaen.o

We find the following able plea for uni
versal suffrage in the New Orleans Tri-
bune, paper owned and edited by freed
men. 1t is an excellent presentation OF
the situation:
Ability to serve and defend the country
in the fields of labor and war, is therefore,
the basis of electoral immunity, Women
are excluded, because they cannot well
fulfill under these heads, the duties of the
citizens. But the same cannot be said of
the African race of the United States.
Neither labor nor fighting has proved TO
be too much for our race. We labored
long and hard. What riches the soil of
the Southern States has yielded for two
hundred years, has grown up through the
exertions of our arms and the sweat OF
our brows. What triumphs the Union
armies have gained in the field, to secure
the integrity and perpetuity of the Re-
public, was obtained through our efficient
and powerful help, We did not act the
part of women III American society. We
now ask why we should not be treated as
men.
They were not women, those gallant
brethren of ours who irrigated the ground
with their blood at Milliken's Bend, Port
Hudson, Fort Wagner, Fort Blakely,
Petersburg, and hundreds of battle
fields illustrated by their valor. They
were not women, those two hundred
thousand black soldiers that the republic
called, in an hour of agony, to rescue its
liberal institutions from a total ruin. The
idea did not come to the American Gov
ernment to call upon the women of the
land for aid and assistance. But it called
upon the Africans, and the call was re-
sponded to and after several years of a
| frightful struggle, victory was won.
Now, if we were treated as men in the
hour of peril, if we acted like men on the
battle field, we ask why we should be
considered women at the ballot-box ?
Consistency makes the success of nations,
because it shows that they are governed
hv principles and obey the moral law.

THE GREAT Snow STORM IN ENGLAND


"A London dispatch OF Jan 4th says :;
The most severe and heaviest snow
storm which has been experienced in
England for very many years has just
visited US. The storm commenced last
Wednesday. The weather is very cold
and the snow does not melt but lies on
the ground with hard frozen surface.
1t is calculated that it has come down
to an average depth OF eight inches, but
the drifts are very great and the snow
piled in some places to an enormous
height. In the country, the highway S
are blocked with snow and impossible.
The railroads are partly in the same con-
dition. Vessels of every description are
delayed 10 the different ports, and the
coast fishery works are suspended.
10 London the streets at this moment
ere choked with snow. No efforts are
being made to remove it, although there
are thousands Of able bodied men unem-
ployed and anxious to obtain work who
could be had on short notice by the au-
thOrities.
Business is impeded very much in the
city, as locomotion is extremely difficult,
there being very few omnibuses on the
stands or plying. There are no sleighs,
The principal means of travel and COM
munication for trade purposes is through
the underground railroad.
The poor Of the city suffer very much.
London presents the appearance of a
city situated in the Arctic regions with
the additional disadvantage that 1t is
enveloped in the dense winter fog pecu.

itude.
