vail throughout Ireland, and English
troops have been ordered forward. A
great meeting was held near B4lla, at
which Parnell and others spoke. Ex-
traordinary precautions had been taken
by the Government. More than one
hundred policemen were stationed near
the place of meeting, and some cavalry
were in the vicinity, ready for immedi-
ate action. No trouble occurred. Hun
dreds Of those in attendance marched
in procession t the farm of Depsey, the
tenant who was to have been evicted,
but was not. Much excitement. was
manifested there. A correspondent has
interviewed DAILY, Dewitt and Killen in
Sligo Jail. They are all in good spirits,
express their confidence of acquittal,
aud desire the agitation TO proceed. The
Irish Nationalist and Fenians of Penn
~sylvania are holding meetings to con-
slider the situation. Leading officers of
the Ancient Order of Hibernians say
Hundreds of members are anxious to
depart Immediately to Canada, to in
wade the British possessions in r~etalia-

The Wall street Excitement.
The excitement in Wall Street, New
York, for the past few weeks, is unpre-
cedented in the history of stock opera
tons. The week just past, 50 far as
general REPORTS and circumstantial evil
dence a be relied upon, seems to be
that the wealthy professional operators,
| uhocn ltfalopr efudv kaa Loa, ~ n,oa@or
the tricks of the street, have taken adj
vantage of a long-looked for opportunity
to shake out q large percentage of the
amateur spectators, and sweep into
their Golfers the hoardings with which
the latter had yentured to combat the
tiger of speculation. The street hash the
last few days added to the vocabulary
the term" Lambs" to designate the flock
OF unsophisticated persons who have
recently yielded to the allurements of
the stock markets. That THESE " lambs"
have been slaughtered without discrimi-
nation no one doubts. OF course, there
are many with means and courage who
will renew the fight with fortune, but
a great majority, especially those from
the country, have, it is believed been
hurt SO badly that it will be a long
time before they return, if ever. Jim
Keene, the dashing Californian, as he is
called, it is estimated has made $22,-
DOC. 600 by the rise and fall in stocks.
Whatever he has purchased went mp,
and whatever he sold. went down. He
is now looked upon as the future King
of Wall Street.
Reunion of the Array OF the Cumberland.
There was perhaps n greater crowd in
Washington on the 10Th inst, than at
any time since Grants Inauguration in
1872, and a greater display than has
been seen there since the war. The re-
union of the Army Of the Cumberland
was a success in every particular, which
is largely due to the active and eff
Gent efforts of General Alexander Nc
Cook and Colonel H. c.. Corbin, of the
Army, and other members of the com.
mittee. The Society met in the morn
ing and held a business meeting before
the parade, which took place at IL
o'clock. Nothing OF great importance
was done, but committees were ap-
pointed to arrange for the next re-
union, The street parade exceeded
anything that has been seen there since
the war, there being about 1 900 regular
soldiers and twice as many militia in line,
with two full batteries of artillery. sew.
