large supply it will be good thing. The
decorators always use their stock, and +
they had supply Of the stars and stripes
We would see that glorious bit Of bunting
much oftener than has been our fortune
since the outbreak of your civil war and
the sailing Of the Alabama. :
The crowd was thickest in front OF the
Sheiburne Hotel, where quarters had
been engaged for the teams But here the
police were active and opened way for
the carriages, so that one after another
the vehicles deposited their loads at the
door without hindrance. The jannting
carman who brought us was evidently IN

charge us five shillings for our ride. We
resisted, and he fell to four, then to
three. and then to two, which we paid
We learned afterward that one shilling
and sixpence would have been ample, and
that his legal fare was only shilling for
both of us. The fellow had been very
enthusiastic about the sAmirikins," but

and as he took the two shillings, he re-
marked, can faith, an don't behave the
Amirikins will shoot as well as the Irish,
and twill serve ye right if yer baten."
/ IN THE HOTEL.
There was cheering loud and long -
the team arrived and entered the hotel
They tell good Joke on the North East
Bar, an association Of lawyers that dined
that day at the hotel. They came to the
house few minutes before our arrival,
and the waiting crowd mistook them for
the Americans and cheered accordingly.
When the American party did come Il
was shown into the parlor where the law
yers were waiting for the summons 70
dinner, and naturally the strangers COM
ing into the presence Of two or three doz-
en- gentlemen in dress coats and neck-ties
naturally supposed that the two or three
dozen were reception committee. There
have been several laughs since then over
the funny and harmless mistake.
