come to the spot where that stanch
lover NV freedom and troo Amerikin,
Teddy o. OShaughnessy, and me led the
attack upon the nigger orphan asylum,
and burnt that refooge NV the younguv

Teddy is now a alderman, and holds

promptly borrered five cents NV me to

he sed. ave shell pass away, and we
must hev others to succeed us and kerry

Micky is now organizin Land
Leagues to assist suffrin and opprest
Ireland to make he'd agin ther tyranikle
oppressors, the English. His speeches
in favor of liberty and ekal rites for all
are really techin.
Comm further down, I gazed with
| interest on the 7riboon buildin, witch
stands wher the old one did wich we
tried to mob in '63. / wuz standin
sholder to sholder wit Patsy OBrien
and we shood hev succeeded, only we
did not like to face the preparashuns
| that he'd bin made to reserve us.
Patsy is q devotid lover NV freedom and
ekality now ez he ever wuz, and is doin
Doodle dooty. He il collectin money
for two objicks-for the Skirmishin
Fund to liberate ireland by the way NV
Canady aud to drive the furrin Chinese
out Nv Oaliforny.
Next saw the City-Hall steps, on
wich stood that troo patriot now, Ben
Butler. He wuz misgidid then, for
wich we hev forgiven him in view of his
recent services in the coz NV freedom

| Dinocrisy. 1t wuz Dinnis M'Grath
that threw the apple at him wich the
the feend then, and patriot now, pared
and ct while maxim q speech to the
populis. Dinnisis Is Skool Commishner
now, and is very prominent in rasin
funds to free Ireland by harassin Eng
land in Cauady. He hez gorgus he'd
| quarters, and. as he sed, the coz wuz
gittin on swimmingly. The colleck-
shuns wuz enough to pay the expenses
nv his headquarters, with dinners, and

the altimit -liberashun nv Ireland. Wat
we want" he continued. sis freedom
for all. except, NV course, the naygur
and the furrin Chinayse. The naygur
must be tawt his place in the Republic,
and the furrin Chinayse must CO."
| Dinhis is gittin on well. He wuz in
| offs in Moo York afore he had been in
the kentry six weeks, and he has KEEP in
offs ever since. He wears a dimund
| ez big ez a hickry-nut, and hez more
sympathy for Ireland than any man I
knowuv. He insists that it is the dooty
nv the Amerikin people to rally to the
support nv their brethren in the parent
kentry, Ireland, and declare war agin
England to wunst. Dinnis is very severe
upon Congress, that it is dilatory in its
dooty in this matter.
| / met Teddy M'Grath, another hero
NV the War period. Teddy made sew
eral thousand dollars in the bounty

and went into pollytix. He becum

to another till he Accommodated mill
ion. He is now Skool Commishner.
and Alderman, and on the Fleece Board,
and don't know what all. Teddy is
not at all set up, becoz, az he sez, his is
not al indivijile case, and his good for
choon can't be ascribed to any espeshel
merit nv his own. Moo York is the
place for Irisnmen. There is vacant
place for EN- here, for the Dimocrisy
want EN-, and every man NV EN- wich
hez power enuff to git into the front
rank hez no trouble in gittin on. He
sighs for the liberashun nv Ireland, but,
ef it's all the same, he won't go back
there. He kin do better here. He
never wood hev bin able to drink sham
pane with his lunch ef he had stayed in
1reland-never.
And SO it wuz all round. Tweed,

hez gone, but Kelly remains. and things
heven't changed very much, nor will
they change so long ez there is q Irish
man with q vote. and offs to fill. 1t
don't matter who is at the head, the
Irish voter will alluz be at his tail,
picking up the crumbs he throws to EN-.
There is one trouble about my stay
ing here, amt an Irishman, and con-
sekently am not eligible to any Nv the
ofiises wich l am capable NV fillin.
We're a ginooine Irishman 1 shood
never think of leavin Moo York, but

Skool Commissioner, or q Street In

But ain t. and can make myself in

but dispite the name there is too much
Amerikin about me to make me eligible
to anything in Moo York. 1 show my
Amerikin birth every way. l amt

and then l haven't got the rekisit chek

no place for me. Ell l Good only GO to

it wod do; but I can't. The mis-
forchoon NV my life wuz in being born

eligible to offs in this city in witch l
wood prefer to live to any spot on earth.
