NEW YORK, Aug. 31.-The Herald has the
following Montreal despatch: A picnic was
advertised to be held here on Tuesday for the
benefit of Whelan and other prisoners at OF
tawa. and proclamation was posted last night
calling on loyal citizens to muster on Tuesday
and prevent this Fenian display. B. Devlin, a
leading Irishman of the city, who opposer Nc
Gee last year, and who has hitherto enjoyed
the reputation OF being Fenian sympathizer,
has written long letter which will be pub
lished tomorrow. He denounces the picnic
as uncalled for, and tending to cast an imputa-
ton on Irishmen. He says it would be tele-
graphed over the world, and materially
strengthen the Fenian cause now preparing TO
attack Canada. He implores Irishmen to dis
countenance it. The affair makes intense ex-
element and a riot is feared. The authorities
will put down the picnic, and if possible sup.
press disloyal demonstrations. Fenian sym
pathisers are disguised, and denounce Devlin
as a traitor. Public opinion, however, il

fun, the pathos OF the War This illustrates the
character of the leaders, the humor of the soldiers
the devotion of women, the bravery of men, the
pluck of our heroes, the and hardships of
the service. From the beginning of the war. the
author has been engaged in collecting ali the an
ecdotes connected with or illustrative of it, and has
grouped and classified them under appropriate
heads, and in very attractive form.
The books contents includes "reminiscences of
camp, picket, spy, scout, bivouac siege, and bat
