A CONSEQUENTLY LETTER TO THE
PRINCE Observation-Disclosures Batuk, as one
of the Pail Mall Gazette correspondents
styles himself, tells the following story of
how an Irish gentleman, correspondent at
Metz for London paper, sought "per-
nit" from the Prince Imperial. Last night,
after having duly dined and finished his
visits to the cafes, he fell upon the idea of
writing to the Prince Imperial for permits
sion to follow the army. The letter was
Prince, and am permitted to send it to
you May it please your Imperial High
pess-l am very impudent. 1t is the privi-
lege of 1rishnen to be impndent Into the
bargain, am correspondent of the only
journal of London which is friendly to
Quartiere-General of the French army.
Alas am not permitted to do so. When
one is thirsty one seeks pure water there
fore do ask your Imperial Highness for
permission to follow the army, because at
the source the water is purest. Recollect,
have its historiographer. Caesars exploits
would not be SO well known had we not
Cesar's Commentaries. On three grounds
l base my request. First, I am an Irish
man my countrymen have spilled their
blood under the lilies and bees; there was
Irish legion in 1Sl5-the only foreign corps
to which your illustrious uncle gave the
eagles. Next, 1 am representative of the
one paper which is just to France; and,
lastly, am efo-worshiper, and you are
Napoleon. Trusting you will pardon
this unaccustomed intrusion, I have the
honor to subscribe myself your Imperial
Highness's most devoted and humble SER
want" The author of the letter was very
confident of his success, and thought it not
unlikely that he would not only receive
what he had asked for, but an invitation to
dinner besides. What luck he bad do
not know.

has been fortunate in winning the con-

the regret that the government loses
his valuable services AS Commissioner

won the esteem OF the people; we may
therefore hope he will make a worthy

ton, Mass, which was recently robbed
of large amount of money and bonds,
went to New York to identify, if posi-
BILE, VIM. Dunn, the burglar whom
Capt. Walsh had arrested on suspicion
of being one of the gang. A hotel
keeper at Worcester, Mass, at whose
house party of men, supposed to be
the bank thieves, took breakfast on the
morning after the robbery, also ac-
companied the bank officers. The
watchman failed to identify Dunn as
one of the men who bound and gagged
him, and the kotel-keeper was certain
that Dunn was not of the party who
took breakfast at his house. There
being no evidence to warrant the
further detention of the prisoner,
Justice Bowling, before who he was
taken, discharged him.-State Journal.
