The determination Of the Irish so.
cieties in New York to parade on st.
Patrick's day has elected all manner
Of comment, and what we consider
unnecessary rumpuS. Here is speci-
men of the many protests made,
which we take from the Herald /:
ALLOW me to protest against the
proposition to parade on March 18th
next. In times Of plenty, Haunting
gay banners and strutting about the
streets like pack Of turkey gobblers
was but a pitiful way of manifesting
our sanctity or patriotism; now, when
famine sweeps over our land. and
gaunt hunger has already fastened on
the yitals Of her children, it would
be a positive indccency. How will
the generous American who has re-
spon led TO the cry for bread with a
chect big as his own heart feel when
he sees hundreds of well.ied Irish
men indulging in the useless extrava
game and inanity of parade? He
will feel just as the philanthropist
did who, having given mendicant
a crown, had the sublime qualification
of seeing him turn into the next
grOgshop, where he drank his bene-
factors health in copious libations.
DR.. Talmage, in that thrilling appeal
for dying Ireland" declared before
his congregation that the Irish emil
grants devotion to the helpless ones
at home was unsurpassed save by the
divine love of God himself" Here
we have batch of barnacles on the
national character ready to give the
lie to that grand encomium. In the
name of dignity, honor and self
respect, "by the empty meal chest"
and the cheerless hearthstones. by the
narrowing memories of the crowbar
and trap coffin, | would entreat every
lrishman worthy Of the name to set
his face sternly and firmly against this
contemplated absurdity and say it
must not take place. Indications from
every point prove that the great heart
OF this bounteous land is deeply
touched by the Irish peasant wall, and
all-banker aud mechanic rain their
dollars in golden showers, and it is
our duty to see that this gushing foun-
tain Of benevolence be not dried up
by any indiscretion on our part. We
have among us thousands of true
hearted, thinking men, who bitterly
condemn this parade nonsense, and
none more 80 than

Broom corn is likely at no distant
day to revolutionize the breadstufI
supply of the world. A process has
been discovered by which the finest

from the seed to the extent Of half its
weight, and leave the other half a val
liable food for making beef and milk.
The average yield per acre is three
hundred bushels, or thirty thousand
pounds have been secured.
Nor does it exhaust the soil as In
dian corn, from the fact that it feeds
from the deeper soil, and assimilatei

In attendance, also commissions ap-

the hotel were lined with double files
of troops 800 strong, each bearing a
torch, through which line
General Grant and party passed.
The effect was exceedingly
brilliant, especially when the guards
closed in by platoons and galloped
behind the visitors. The chairman
of the government commission at the
station extended to General Grant the
welcome of the government, and then
presented the committee of munich
pality, who rendered the hospitalities

For two days VIC will have at the
theater something to laugh at, the
best delineations of negro minstrelsy.
This will draw fall houses of people
who think it no sin to smile and enjoy
the comical and grotesque phases of
human life attractively presented on
the stage. A good laugh from the heart
smooths out manya wrinkle in the face.
II is medicine for the mind, which,
taken at proper times, makes us bet

style and diction should go and hear

Hold on z moment, Mr.. Ledger
The pronunciation &fkgnsaw, upon
which you insist, was given by the
original French settlers in i, uisiAna

not only said Ark9nsaw, but they
said kansaW for Kansas, aud 1epsax
for 'Eonsas, and they pronounce pas
as il 1t were spelled paw. II we
say Arkansaw, we must BY analogy
say Kansaw aud Tensaw. As no one
will insist on the two last named, we
had better pronounce these names Ar.
