RIc cRT AND LITTLE WOOL.


 IT the Hibernian patriots on both sides of the water were as bloodthirsty in deed as in talk, there would prevail a condition of things at which hu1haIity would shudder Their agitatons and their press are teenling with incendiary utterances which would make the blood run cold, was it not for the fact that every attempt to even approximate in deeds to these terrible threats have proved miserable fiascos. The Irish are so constituted that they do not make iirst-class conspirators. If they concoct a scheme, their first gathering over g bottle of poteen gives the whole thing away. They delight in telling what they will do. They count their chickens be- fore they are matched, to use a humble simile. This characteristic of the lii bernian is well Illustrated by tbat tanlil- ! far story of the Irishman travelling along a country road. who seeing a l,ull .e.n the opposite side of the fence, believing and paving Che ground, thought it would be a mighty fine thing to get over the fence and jam his nose into the ground, The more he thought of it, the more his risibles were excited, and in his merri- ment he rolled on the ground After ! recovering himself he proceeded to carry his thought into execution, and as he picked himself up, torn and bruised, after the bull had tossed him back over ! the fence, he was overheard to remark: : "Its a moighty foine thing had my l laugh first" So it is with these plots and operations against England: they celebrate their victories in advance. Below we give samples of the ineendiary utterances of the Fenian press. IFrr-l the United Irisllnan May i4.i
 In every seaport town of the world where sX men oi Irish blood can be ] found, these six men should organize, and be On the lOOkOut to burn down or blow up whatever property is carried under the English flag. What fl they are peaceful ships?-let them be; destroy them.
 
 every sea of the V id: there are thous- and Land League Clubs in America. Each club should take one English ship under its especial protection, and we would hail with delight the sinking or blowing mp of every ship carrying the pirate flag. Do your work, Land Leaguers, but do it discreetly. Don't involve the land you love lay allowing about what you are going to do or how you are going to do it; but when the deed is done let if be untraceable, and let it be said, "Nlse was he that did 1t.
 From the United lrishman. June {.
 The Irish race are scattering all over the world. and the English flag flies all over the world Tn these two facts lie . the secret of the ability of the Irish race to bring England to her knees. England can disarm the people in Ireland, and then sine can send in her horse, foot and artillery to shoot the people down; but she cannot send ont regiment with every ship that carries her flag out into thc world, and in war-as England is at war with England now-belligerents make no distinction between war ships and ships Of peace; they strike the enemy's flag wherever they can strike 1t, and when the Irish race take spirit enough to attack England that way, Ire lands independence IS at hand. There fore have we suggested, and now sug ] gest, that in any and every seaport of the world where six men of Irish blood can be found, those sIx men should band together and be on the outlook for the English flag, with a view to destroy whatever that flag covers.
 From tba United I-ishrnau June ri.
 Let every Land League CluD now or gauize itself into the blowing up of an English ship, or an English castle, or an English railroad bridge, and England will soon come to terms.
 From the United Irishman June D. We don't expect the English of Amer lea to sympathlze with us, but Americans will let the Irish people fight out their fight with England; and if they can blow up every war ship England has and raZe every English garrison, we shall rejoice. Now these utterances should disgust the sensible portion of the Irish-Amer- jeans with the blatant impostOrs who are making a trade and profession of keeping up a feverish state of excite ment and collecting money, which they appropriate to their own personal use, as O'Donovan Rossa has been doing fol years. This country sympathizes with nations struggling for liberty, but it cannot tolerate the abuse of the hospi- tality it extends to all We believe that tlse better portion of the Irish race re- pudiates such sentiments as we quote above, as they certainly should We don't think England has much cause to apprehend any danger, but the whole business IS flat, stale and improbable, and the sooner the Irish race accept the situation and turn their attention to i'm proving their condition as other nations do, the better. The money that has been wasted in foolish revolutionary schemes would buy every foot Of land held by English landlords in Ireland Towards any proper scheme for the ad- vancement of the Irish race all would contribute, but to murder, burn and plunder none should be allowed to con tribute.
