An Irish Legend.

In one of the Killarney lakes is small
island, rocky and wooded, which is be-
lieved by the tenantry to represent the top
of the highest tower of the castle which
sank, under q spell, to the bottom. In GER
tain states of the atmosphere, have heard
educated people say, when in boat you
have reached certain distance, the island
appears to rise some feet from the water,
its rocks assume the appearance of mason
~, and the whole circuit presents very
much the effect of the battiements of cas-
tie rising above the surface of the lake.
This was Miss Anne Haily's story of the
submersion of this lost castle: 1t is well
known that the great Earl of Desmond,
though history pretends to dispose of him
differently, lives to this hour enchanted in
this castle, with all his household, at the
bottom of the lake. There was not, in his
day, in all the world, so accomplished
magician as he. His fairest castle stood

A sharp story is told of q professor in an
eastern divinity school, who was accustom-
ed to criticise the devotional efforts which
were required of the students periodically.
One morning one Of the victims, being pro-
ficient in short hand, was moved to take
down the professors own opening prayer
verbatim, and, having written it ont, he
handed 1T in for criticism. The professor
came down on his work with q vengeance,
buffeted it, treated it shamefully, ridiculed
Its false rhetoric, inveighed against it's poor
gruity, and wound up by declaring, sub
stantiiaiy, that the author thereof was a
mighty poor hand at q prayer. OF course
the student informed him that lie had been
mangling his own offspring, and since that
day less sweeping style of criticism has

| In o certain small town on the Mississippi
| lived man who made horse trading q bust
ket, and was considered pretty good on trade.
One day long, lean, green looking specimen
Of the Western country arrived ct the dock
With boat-1oad of horses, and inquired for
! the horse jockey.
DADDY sent me down with some horses, !"
he said, in O half idiotic tone.
"Who's hef"
daddy"
"What do you want for your horses ="
daddy said you could set your price," was
the response.
said Brown, and accordingly they were soon at
the boat.
Brown examined the horses and named the
price he would give for this one and that, and
the country pumpkin made no objection, al
though some of the offers were not more than
one.half the real value of the animals. One
of the bystanders gently suggested that he
was being cheated, but he replied:
Daddy said Brown would set the price him
SELF" and SO Brown had it all his own way.
At last they came to another animal that did
not look so much superior to the rest.
II must have more for that animal" said the
fellow. "Daddy said he can run some."
"Runw said Brown; "that nag can't run
worth o cent"
DADDY says SO, and daddy knows"
"Why, Eve got one up to the stable that
would beat him all to nothing" -
"Guess not.' said the fellow. "Let's try
'em. I'll bet the whole boat-load of horses on
i'm"
Brown smiled.
"IIl stake Ave thousand dollars against your
boat-load," said Brown, winkiug at the crowd,
"and these men (selecting two) shall hold the
stakes"
Browns five thousand was intrusted to one,
and tbs other went on board the horse boat.
One of the crowd started to demonstrate with
the poor, idiotic fellow, but he only responded,
"Golly, dad told me he could run some, and
dad ought to lose 'em if he was SIGH n tarnal
fool as 70 tell me that, when he couldn't. -
Browns sleek racer was brought down, and
Brown mounted him. '' y
The couptryman led out his animal and
climbed on his,back, looking as uncouth and
awkward as the horse he proposed to ride.
amidst the laughter of the crowd. At first
Brown was ahead, and it looked as though the
poor fellow was to be badly beaten, when sud-
denly his horse plunged forward, and the horse
jockey. was le;o far behind. Such going had
not been seen in these parts for long time,
and poor Brown was crest-fallen as the cheers
of the bystanders fell on his ears.
"Pll take the spondulix," said the country
man, riding up. "Dad was right the animal
can get around q little"
Brown tried to say il was all joke, but the
fellow would have his money.
~ guess ] won't trade to-day" he said, as
he put his money in his old, rough, leather
pocket book.
In vain Brown tried to induce him to trade,
but he pushed off his boat resolutely, saying,
" I'd rather go home and tell dad"
Brown was completely sold, for he knew at
once that the green countryman was little
had just come there on purpose to win his
money from him.
Next time he did not ridicule horse that
daddy says can run some."

Life bears us on like the current of q
mighty river. Our boat first giides down

But before 1beginniog those astonishing

necessity of silence. He then put
himself at his length on the floor, and
began to stretch himself out, longer aud

STATE CONVENTION.

To-day we publish the call of the
Republican State Central Com
mittec, for convention to be held
at Madison on Wednesday, March
18Th, for the purpose Of nominating
ten Presidential f. ectors, and to
select twenty delegates to represent
our state in the national convention
ut Philadelphia, on the 9th OF June
The convention here called will de-
eide the vote of Wisconsin as to
who shall be the Republican Candi.
date for President. AT present
there is but one name before the
Republicans of'thc country, and that
is l. ). Grant. Though many, per.
haps, may not feel that heis the best
and only available man, they can
but coneede that to support him OF
80 into the schemes of defeating
him 10y eoalescing with the democ-
racy is the only alternative. I'm
doubtedly large majority Of the
party desire Grants denomination
especially of the party in Wiscon
sin we think this is true--and it
therefore becomes the duty of the
minority to acquiesce, and give him
their hearty support.
Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1872-02-15

There is strong probability that
in the reapportionment Of our state
into Con yressional Districts, what
IS now the third di 'trict, composed
of the counties of Grant, Iowa, La
Fayette, Green, Sank, Richland, and
Crawford, will remain unchanged
except by the cutting off of Sank
County. Such an arrangement will,
we think be more favorable and ac-
ceptable to Iowa County than any
other that could be made. BY it
we shall be left as now Il central
County which is always desirable, as
giving us opportunities Of eXertlng
greater influence than we could hay C
in a district formed so that our coun-
" would be on its outer border.
The greatest objection to the pro
posed plans is, that by it we shall
lose Sank County, with whom Iowa
has always been on she best of
terms, the two counties working
generally very tremendously togeth-
