DEAR Sin: Your remittance OF $73S 40

The Colonel also incidentally mentioned
the fact that no one was aware OF the SUI
fering going on in the western counties OF
Ireland and the straits the residents are
reduced to for sustenance. Many small
remittances, we understand, are being sent
from this city daily, from various parties,
not by any means confined to those pos
sessed OF means, but also from servant
girls and laborers, who either have friends
In those counties or are acquainted with
the actual destitution there. Money, or
passage tickets, are also being sent to
bring over friends to this country.
Wheeling has done very well In her
efforts to afford relief to these suffering
people.
We have also received the following:

THE PIGEON ROOsT.
Millions of Pigeons at the Historic
Pigeon KOOst in Scott County,
Indiana.

lFrom the Albany Und.) Exchange
To-day party OF hunters left this
city for the celebrated Pigeon Roost,
in Scott county, where, it is said,
acres of timber are covered nightly
with wild pigeons. For the past
seventy-tive years this noted locality
has been d roosting place for pigeons,
and millions of these birds congre-
gate there nightly during the seasons
Of tn cir visits to this section of the
country. They fly away OF mornings
to their feeding places in the woods
and fields of Indiana and kentucky,
| distant from the rOost i'll many in-
stances from 100 to 300 miles, return
ing again at night, the arrivals often
! continuing up TO midnight.
The timber on thousands Of acres
covered by this roost is broken down
badly. large limbs being snapped of
ike reeds ny the accumulated weight
of tne birds upon them. Throughout
the entire night there is heard the
cracking and crashing of limbs, the
mum aud furry and drumming of
wings, the explosion of firearms aud
sounds caused by people beating the

| Thousands OF pigeons are killed
nightly; but all THIS slaughter seems

This Scott county pigeon roost is

which they fired. Mrs. Bead anc

THE CzAR'S DREAM.
[From the London Graphic I

[From the London Graphic |
The cZar OF all the Russias, in u dream
Was startled by an anguished woman's scream.
Turning to look from whom the sound arose.
He saw slow marching meath the drifting SHOWS
The eXiles to Siberia; grim despair
In every phase of wretchedness WAS there;
There was husband with !, downward gaze
Recalling the last clasp, the last fond phrase
OF the dear wife in helpless want now left,
OF husband, home, and hope alike bereft;
There was iather maddencd by the thought
OF all the evils that could now be wrought
Upon his maiden daughter; there son,
The hope. the pride, the only STAY of one
To whom hcncefOrih that son was more than life,
And debarred cen now one last hands touch;
On, wanon harshness; is not this too much
And there with head bowed down uuon his hand
The young chief mourner of this mOurnful band
The bridegroom from the wedding breakfast torn
Now e'en rough soldiers cease their coarsel
jeers,
Altho' his hand scarce hides the scalding tears,
For 10, his bride had taken that last glance
That pierces to her heart like poisoned lance,
And in the last sad agony of woe
Hath flung herself down blindly in the snow,
And hers. oh, car. was that hcart-rendn2
scream
That startled thee in this unholy dream.
Is it ton late Thou who so nobly brave
Risked throne and lie to free the abJect slave,
Hast thou forgotten thine imperial plan
Thy grand ambition to do good to man %
Awake from these foul dreams, and live on c.
more,
Live in thy peoples hearts-abjure mad war,
Give them full freedom, just and equal laws,
Let none be punished save for righteous cause
Be what thou vert, noble cZar again,
And all tile world will shout, Long may S
thou reign

TWO KISSES.

When made visit home,
And stole up stairs, good fortune leading
l saw, or rather thought l saw,
My sister IN the study, reading.
With noiseless tread forward crept,
With schemes OF mischief most impruuent
And leaning U'er the arm chairs back,
softly kissed the gentle student.
She turned to fly, with burning face,
AS If a brothers. kiss polluled-
Rapture Twas not my sister Lu,
But Cousin Amy I'd Saiuted.
OF course ! then began to beg
She would excuse my having kissed her,
Protesting that, upon my word,
really thought it was my sister.
A conversation followed next
Whose theme, be sure, was not the weather
And then very blissful pair
Seated-w"ll, rather close together.
And Amy, with her roguish way,
When for the second time l kissed her,
Sale, archly looking up TO me,
Are you quite sure it's not your sister
