AN IRISH FARMER.

An Irish farmer who arrived here in
November from kanturk, county of Cork,
was elected from a s~or,,- cf civfy-thra1
acres Tor non-payment of rent amounting
to Gl20. The landlord is John O'Con-
nell, Of Granane. The farmer SAYS that
he bought il 1859, for e30O, a lease for
thirty-one years. The purchase included
eighteen COWS, four horses and other
stock and Implements. During eleven
years he spent 81, 800 in repairs upon the
house, draining and enriching the soil,
and building and repairing fences. Tor
the first three years expenses were barely
met. Afterward the tenant fell behind.
and the recourse to borrowing to meet
his rent. On March I, 1879, he owed
rent for one year, and on April 7th he
was served with an ejectment. On learn
ing this, the bank of IRELAND seized his
furniture for debt, and the sheriff sold
his stock and crops for only $50. The
landlord finding no other tenant, allowed
the unfortunate man to remain with his
wife and five children through the sum-
mer and autumn to take care of the prem
lses; but as soon as the man started for
America, a tenant was found at the same
price, who was willing to give an addi-
tional e100 as bonds for the privilege of
obtaining the lease. The landlord then
gave the women and children the privi-
ege of living in a little cabin without
windows until he needed it. Until the
md of six months from his ejectment
he farmer will have the privilege of re-
sovering possession of the farm on pay
nent of the rent due, otherwise it will
evert to the landlord, who can then
ease it 10 the new conner. The elected
enant is now seeking farm employment
nth view of saving enough to bring
is family to America.-N. Y Sun,

4 SMALL WAR CLOUD.

It has been reported, both before and
since the speech was delivered, bay
| ard's) that an understanding has been
reached between France, Germany and
! England with view to preventing the
United States Government from being
the recognized leader in the inter oceanic
canal scheme. Naturally such an intim-
alton from q conservative man like Mr..
Bayard has set the sensationalists at
| work, and the result is that the country
is flooded with rumors of probable war.
The more iudicious classes point TO the
friendship between France and the Unit
Ell States and also between Germany and
the United States as we'll as the natural
| hostility between France an Germany
to prove that the thought of such an al
lance is an absurdity. The story runs
10 this way: The intention of the Euro
pean combination is alleged to be to pro
| ceed to constructs canal across the 18TH
mus, and to do it in such an audacious
| way that the United States will be COM
pelied to take the offensive or to submit
to very humiIiating national indignity.
It is said, upon very good authority,
that within few days Captain Eads, of
Jetty fame, is to have an audience with
Secretaries Eyarts and Thompson, at the
request Of the Secretary of State. Mr..
Eyarts' plan is to adopt the Eads' scheme
of the hydraulic dock system, and con-
vey ships across the Isthmus by carrying
them over the dry land by system of
docks from ocean to ocean. 1t is claim
ed that the plan is practicable, and that
it can be developed and carried into eff
feet much sooner than a canal can be
constructed. The great point Mr..
Evarts desires is to begin the work and
get in ahead of any foreign power, and
then if such latter powers, either singly
or allied. endeayor to construct a canal,
1t will be forced to take the offensive and
leave this Government on the defensive.
In short Secretary Evarts prefers that if
an ihter-oceanic, canal project is to iu-
volve the United States in q foreign war,
the foreign power shall be the aggressor
and this Government assume the defen-
silva

''Never heard Of EN- since, nor expect
to, s'pose?" queried the second drover.
In response to this question a remark
able Transformation took place. The
pleasant looking agent was wrought into
a devil, and his countenance was fearful
to behold. The auditors started from

glasses leaped to his feet, and in tre-
mendous voice. that differed astonishing.

Amid terrible curses, and another deaf

the proclamation Of a judgment from

The agent had already knocked the spec
tacles from his eyes, revealing pair of
iercely cleaning gray orbs, and he tore
the false beard from his face, bringing
to light the tell-tale scar on the cheek.
In trying o.defend himself the desper-
ado's great hands were revealed. He

HOW GRANT STOOD BY HIS
FRIENDS.

A gentleman was telling few DAYS
Ince of q remark that Gen. Grant made
-hlch is key remark to his character in
ome respects. A quiet investigation
nong leading Republicans in congress
ad developed ring of robbers among
'fice-holders appointed by President
rant, who had little system by which
hey were getting away with the national
lnds IN an exceedingly lively and har-
ionious manner. All the facts were
id before Grant, and he pulled his
gar out long enough to remark that he
rs satisfied with the evidence of their
havery, and would attend to the matter.
week passed away, and the RepubIi-
ns became nervous and anxious, ex-
lcting an explosion in congress every
", through discovery OF the matter by
e Democrats. At last they went to the
esident again, and urged immediate
aion for the sake of the country and the
irty.
''Are you not satisfied of their rascal
i?' was asked one day. 81 am," said
can't, "but those men are friends of
me and appointees of mine"
''But you don't propose to stand by
em on that account when you know
ty are wroDg?" said the gentleman.
fr. -" replied Grant, slowly
fling out his cigar, any man could
snd by his friend when he is right. The
tt of true friendship is TO stand by his
END when he is wrong" And the
tends were allowed to resign quietly,

Ghonor.-Ci7,. Commercial.
