s9-A wag, who is undoubtedly a
lover of the weed, seeing the state
ment going through the papers, gets
off the following:
at has been estimated that the
cost of washing linen that might just
as well be worn two days .longer,
amounts to enough in this country
to more than defray the expenses of
the American Board Of Foreign Mis-
sions.
"lhe expense Of buttons on the
backs of our coats, whore they are of
no earthly use, is equal to the sup-
port of all our orphan asylums.
at is estimated that tho value of
old boots thrown aside, which might
have been worn at least day longer,
is more than enough to buy a fan>
nel night>gown for every baby in
the land. Also, that the cost of eyes
~ inch on the full shirt collars Of
our young men, is equal to the sum
necessary to put Bible in the hands
of every Patagonian giant"

A BishOps's Anathema of the Fenians.

The Roman Catholic Bishop Of
Killarney delivered himself in severe
terms against the Fenians, after the
late disturbance in his district
Among other hard things, he said
"If we must condemn the foolish
youths who have joined in this COM
spiracy, how much must we not exc.
crate the conduct of those designing
villains who have been entrapping
innocent youth, and organizing this
work of crime Thank God they
are not our people or, if they We're,
they have lost the Irish character in
the cities of America. But beyond
them there are criminals of a far
deeper guilt-the men who, while
they send their dupes into danger,
are fattening on the spoils in Paris
and New York-the execrable swind
lers, who care not TO endanger the
necks Of the men who trust them,
who care not how many are murder
ed by the rebel or hanged by the
strong arm of the law, provided they
can get supply Of dollars either for
their pleasures or for their wants.
Oh Gods heaviest curse. His with
enng, blasting, blighting curse-is
on them. | preached to you last
Sunday on the eternity of hell's tor
ments, Human reason was inclined
to say. 1T is a hard word, and who
can bear it?' But when we look
down into the fathomless depth of
this infamy of the heads of this Fem
ian conspiracy, we must acknowledge
that eternity is not long enough nor
hell not enough TO punish such mis-
creants."

THE YoTE IN OHro.-The vote at
the recent election in Ohio was the
heaviest ever cast in that State
Gen. Hayes received 243, sos votes,
and Thurman 240, Hayes major.
i:y, 2,983 The entire vote foots up
48i PIT, which exceeds any previous
one by over 5000. Heretofore the
largest vote was 476, 223, at the elect
ion for Governor in 1868, including
Il, 600 soldiers votes. The next
largest was 400 for President in
1864, including $4,000 soldiers votes.
The vote for Governor two years
ago was $4,000 and for Secretary of
State last year 100000. The vote
this year $4,000 larger than any
previous purely civilian vote. The
Republicans at previous elections
have exceeded their aggregate, but
the Democrats never before attained
theirs. The Democratic vote Of
Ohio was heavier IN October, 1867,
than at any past election in the his
tory Of the State. Two counties
gave the tie votes. In forty two
counties Thurman has majority.

INVENTIONS CT BRITISH ARTISANS.
AT recent industrial exhibition
in London sixteen hundred British
artisans were the exhibitors, and
800 different occupations were rep
resented. OF the exhibitors Al were
printers, Al engineers, SO carvers, SO
carpenters, 80 engravers, Ia watch
makers, and 10 laborers. The Lon
don Times says at is remarka-
BILE fact, and one highly creditable
to our operatives, that, in the class
of Inveutions, improvements and
Ingenious Contrivances,' there were
no fewer than 134 entries. 1t is MOI
a little curious also that some of the
inventions were about the last we
would expect from persons of the

JACKIE might play the gentleman to
advantage there was but one thing
lacking-Jacko rs yet had not learn

master one day lit cigar an exams
pie which JACKIE soon followed. But
alas it Jared badly with him. Many
wry face did he show, but, encoure
aged by his master, he continued to
puff. puff away. At last overcome
by the pernicious fumes, his eyes
rolled in their sockets, his limbs gave
way, and down he fell as drunk as a
topper, and all that his master could
do was of no avail, poor JACKIE died !
