JOnh Mitchell in Ireland.

Contrary to the expectation of his
friends, Mr. John Mitchell, the we'll
known Irish patriot, was allowed to
land in Ireland without interference
from the authorities. 1t will be re-
membered that twenty-seven years
ago MIR. Mitchell was sentenced to I'M
prisonment for life on account of the
part he took in an attempt at insur-
rection. Not liking life in the penal
colonies he escaped to America and
has ever since maintained an untlinch-
ing attitude of hostility to the govern
ment of Great Britain. His return TO
Ireland in defiance OF sentence natu-
rally produced a deep sensation, aud
the welcome which he received on his
arrival in Cork expressed truly enough
the esteem in which this unfiinching
opponent of English rule in Ireland
is held by his comp2triots. The
streets of Cork were illuminated by
bon-fires, and a torchlight procession
in which nearly five thousand persons
took part, accompanied 10y bands OF
music, serenaded the returned "felon."
1t was characteristic of the man that
the first words spoken in public were
fierce denunciation of the govern
ment. He admitted that he might be
cast into prison at any time, without
even a pretence of a crime, but con-
soIed himself with the reflection that
every one of his hearers was in the
same predicament. He took occasion
TO Inform all whom it might concern
that he had returned i'm the hope of
being able "to do something effective
in the struggle of his country against
foreign domination" There mEst be
something heroic in the nature of
man who stands thus boldly forward
in defence of what he conceives to be
the right. The indifference to his per-
sonal safety and devotion to his cause
shown by Mr.. Mitchell in voluntarily
placing himself in the power of his
enemies. because he conceived that it
was right that he should dpsO, must win
for him the respect even of those who
cannot share either his hopes or his
aspirations.

Philadelphia has been searched, from
cellar to garrett, and little Charley
Ross can no where therein be found.
The proceeding was illegal but no one
objected 10 it.
When Gov. Ames wishes an elec-
tion perverted, he asks for federal
troops, but when the town of Aus
tin is being sacked and gutted by
negroes, he appeals only for local aid.
Marshall Bazaine slipped down a
knotted cord from his prison height
into the boat his good wife had in the
dark sea below for him. This is not
the first knotty subject he has disposed
of. France has poor way of
keeping his political prisoners. We
would rather have the old bronze
faced Marshall in America, than a
dozen Rochefortes.
Gold Smith Maid has beaten the
world, having trotted a mile in 2,l54.
Dexter never beat 2.17. The filly was
more dexter-ous than Dexter.
