avoided expressing opinions on passing
events, and nothing can be more unjust
than to put words in my mouth that J
never uttered.
MI. Train-I felt sure that they tor.
tured your conversation into words thai
would enable them to pass this infamous
Ku-Klux bill TO suspend the habeas cor
pus and force military despOtism upon &
people who merely wish to grow cotton
rice and build up again by commerce and
industry their fallen fortunes. And as ]
speak, the next two weeks, in all the
large cities north, I will give the lie di.
rect to the infamous calumnies.
Here the call, "An abosrdi" interrupted
the conversation, Just as Mr.. Davis was
authorizing Mr.. Train, in his name, to say
that what he desired, was to see the South
again prosperous, and that he had not
used the language reported.
LECTURE AT THE THEATER.
He gave a p~oetical recitation upon
spresd-sagleism which was ~applauded.
8Why do you applaud" said he, "that is
only the brsggadOcis Of a played-Out
people and a dishonored flag" lTremen-
dous applsuse.l He gave al account OF
his visit to the beautiful city of Cork.
Was met on the steamer by a detective;
was told by an Irishmsn who the detec-
tive was: when he got ashore was met by
sixteen Snider rifles and a considerable
delegation Of detectives; was ~astOnlshed

p~arations-eh? Telegraph dispatch be-

fully and marched me of to Jail. Laugh

of q tremendous official, starched sl over

gIsssed him all over. The interview was

autograph. He wrote: "Pay the Alabama
claims, or war; if you can't pay, give up
Ireland for the claims" Was asked to
write another, and I wrote:

Or in the battles van,
The noblest place for man to die
Is where he dies for man"
Was introduced to the governor of the
| Jail. he asked him: "What are your Are
! your" The governor grew pale
at this, put his Eyeglasses up,
opeued his mouth very wide, and said
sivou must not talk in that way any heaw /;
/ not a a-a protestant; ah-Oh, R-a-a-a-h."
and grinned all over, mo a protestant %
Are You a cawthOlic?' Says /, "No-O-O;
are you2" He was parslyzsd at this.
When Train was sem to his cell he wrote
twenty seven pages of fOOlscap to the
/ London Times, and called the governor
up at eleven O'Clock at night and kept him
in his night shirt outside of the cell door
for an hour and a half listening to ths let
ter. and when he got through the governor,
shive1ing, objected to sending the
letter. He had TO cOudenss the I'VE
columns of letter be had written to a few
lines Of epigram. After he got out he
went to Dublin, and lectured TO several

crowd QUIET; told them 81 am general

peculiar to himself. After a time, a tor.
eigner was to be tried for treason, was
sent away to Sligo, According to the law
there, a foreigner is entitled to be tried by
six native and six foreign Jurors. Away
out in the bay, o six miles, was a
Prussian ship, and they went through
the farce of summOning six Of the
sailors. The clerk of the court put his
head out of the door of the court, and
called out in a very rich brOgue; "Schif-
fenhiser: Schifenhiser, 1 say, if your
there, shpeak." He went on in this fash
ion, but the six foreign jurors being six
miles away, didn't hear him. 4 the pFis-
ouer had 10 be discharged. 1 paid for his
defense on that trial, sent him away to
America after giving him q suit of clothes
and a good square meal. The Train then
ran over a vast amount of Irish soil, /
crushed out a number of Irish patriots, 4
including O'Connell and several other
equally wise patriots, and then showed on

Englishmen in general, touched upon the
popularity of taxes, and repeated a pas
from one Of Lord BrOugham's
speeches, which shows in q very strong
light the beauties and advantages Of taxa
