The great Irish Chief, aNumber

We hear of him in all sorts of places,
and the consumption of whiskey in
the search for the hero by his ad-
mirers is immense. 1t is calcu-
lated, by well-informed statisticians,
that every time a landlord is killed
in Ireland it increases the revenue
of our landlords of gin-mills at
least one hundred per cent. 1t
might be argued that to encourage
our infant industries in this direc-
ton patriots should be subsidized
to go across the herring pond when
ever business slackens off and get
up. a little fresh excitement. If

Here is what Mr.. j. C. Shettles-
worth, of Union County. did on a
one-horse farm last year in the low.
er part of that County: eHe made
on his farm 16 bales Of cotton, aver
aging over $50 pounds to the bale;
125 bushels corn, 20 bushels wheat
and a small quantity of oats. Now.
suppose his cotton averaged only
$50 pounds to the bale, and he sold
the crop ut an average price Of q
cents per pound, it would bring
1854. The corn, at Is cents per
bushel, is worth 1915. The wheat
at $3.50 is worth $50. The seed Of
the cotton crop-400 bushels-at
12l cents per bushel, is worth $50;
and the shucks would be worth at
least $15.25. This would give q
total Of 1851 for the crop, to say
nothing Of the oats raised on the
farm. Suppose it cost s461 to
make the crop, s4OO is a handsome
income on a one-horse farm. On a
four-horse farm Mr.. Shettiesworth
made 57a bales cotton and 400
bushels corn, besides wheat and
oats.

'And while you were staring at

young woman, this is no time

"Heayen knows what will become

At this instant it flashed before
my mind that there was something
familiar in the sound of the howl
ing outside. / took another look
through the little loophole, then
whistled softly. Dropping the hunt
ing knife I had been brandishing
and running to the entrance I be-
gan untying the canvas flaps.
"Aunt,' said /, "listen! Do you
hear? Those are not wolves, they
are dogs; am sure of it."
In another moment four great,
tawny hounds were leaping about
me, putting their paws on my
shoulders, nearly knocking me
down in their attempt to express
their joy.
/ led the way to the tent where
our supplies were stored, and
throwing them some food knew
from the greedy way in which they
seized it that they had been off on
long trail. Ifoften happens that
hunting dogs get lost while on
an animal. In such cases they al
ways make their way to the nearest
camp. After the hounds had salts
fed their hunger they followed me
to the sleeping tent.
I found the children's aunt and
the English nurse pale but calm,
with the happy Rob between them.
We left the tent flaps open and the
cherry freight shone inside the
camp; the largest dog stretched him
self before the entrance as if to say {:
''Im going to keep watch here to-
night" while the others took their
places by the children's beds.
Then we fell asleep, safe, indeed,
under the watchful care of our new
found friends.

ledge ever gave any attempt at a
rational explanation. There were
the usual patriotic celebrations, and
good deal Of wine and hard cider
under various disguises were offered
as a sacrifice to the names of the
Father Of his Country, and posthu-
mously Of all the immigrants who
pour in at the rate of million or
so year. Some of them had
celebration yesterday. 1t was the
funeral Of sixteen little Bohemian
and Polish children who were
crushed in a panic when fire broke
out in school conducted by some
Sisters of Charity. And the under
takers have their eyes on some
more victims who still endure agon.
izing remnants of life. Of course
the Building Department is now as
noisy, active and inconsequent as
so much pop corn, and old Pop
Esterbrook laments the loss of that
wonderful bill of his which, under
the deft ministration of the Real
Estate Chronicle, the Legislature
squelche6 last year. He also COM
plains of a paueity of inspectors.
If they devoted more time to their
ostensible duties and less to spy
ing on honest men and housing
after '.perquisites," I fancy the
number would be sufficient. Of the
kind We have there are too many.
The Coroners jury who sat on the
remains were nearly killed by the
odors in an alleged p1ayroom, which
rather reflects on the Board of
Health, another Notwithstanding

They wrote him that it would be

told them to import. The glass
now lies on the wharf at Norfolk,

OF a vessel from France, there

Little feet so white and bare,
Dewy eyes, half shut, half opened,
Lisping out her evening prayer.
Well she knows when she is saying,

Praying him her soul to keep.
Half asleep, and murmuring family.
