RalIying The Clans.

BUFFALO, March 23.-A general
c.ll of the National league of Ireland,
the Irish National Land league of
the United States and Canada, and
the committee of seven, signed by
Patrick Egan of the National league
Of Ireland, James Mooney, president
of the Irish American Land league,
and Michael Boland, chairman of
the committee of seven, for an Irish
American national convention to be
held in Horticultural hall, Philadel-
pha, at IL o'clock, April 26, 1883,
has been issued. The call is for the
purpose of expressing sympathy
with the suffering people of Ireland,
to protest against the despoIling OF
the constitutional liberties OF her
people, the packing of her jury boxes
by political and religious bigots, and
having all her national and political
rights obliterated by a ferocious
coercion act, whose tyranous provis-
ions shock civilization, engender and
reward crime, and justify every le-
gitimate effort of an exasperated
people in resisting it's enforcement,
and to declare on behalf of the ex-
lied millions of Ireland's race that
"we will never cease our efforts to
recover for our brotherland the God
given, lnalienable right of national
independence, and that we will blend
into one organization all the Irish
societies of the United States and
Canada, the new organization to be
in affiliation with the Irish National
league of Ireland, of which Charles
Stewart Parnell is president"
The basis of representation will
be one delegate for each society hav-
ing bona fide membership of fifty
and not more than 100 persons, and
two delegates for each society whose
membership exceeds LOO. All IRISH
American temperance, mutual bene-
fit, charitable, literary, military, mu-
sical and patriotic organizations are
eligible to representation. Presi-
dent James Mooney has also issued
call to the several branches COM
posing the Irish National Land
league of America for general con-
vention Of that body to be held at
the same time and place, embodying
the rights of delegates and the num-
Der eligible under the constitution Of
she league for representation, and
states: alt Is now decided that the
distinguished Irish leader, Charles
Stewart Parnell, with one or more of
his colleagues, and Patrick Egan,
ex- treasurer of the land league, will
honor us by their presence. To give
them such reception and welcome
as they deserve will alone suffice to
call out the fullest strength of the
Land league organization and IN
sure its best efforts"
The condition OF Ireland is graph
ically depicted, and an earnest,
urgent call is made to make the com
ing convention the most memorable
and imposing in the history of the
organization. The call is signed by
James Mooney, Rev. Lawrence
Walsh and John J. Haynes, the CEN
tral council Of the Land leagues OF
America.

THE CAMP DISCOVERED.

In whispered tones we were or.
dered to distribute ourselves in
groups Of thirteen in all directions,
and be on the lookout for all suspi-
cious persons in the place. The
group to which / belonged, after
having ridden on for nearly mile,
discovered camp fire in a south.
western direction, which was near
extinction-a very suspicious cir
cumstance. that made our hearts
beat quicker with joyous anticipa
tion. 1t being, however, yet dark,
we could do nothing else for the
present than impatiently wait for the
dawn of day. The eastern sky had
scarcely REDEEMED before we advanc-
ed as noiselessly as possible, and al
most stumbled over two tents, whose
inmates evidently were yet slum ber-
ing. and who thus could be easily
surprised. / was foremost in enter
ing one Of these tents, and, sure
enough, found the fugitive and his
family lying there in profound sleep.
Jefferson Davis rested in a gray
costume on the left side of the tent.
AS soon as he was awake ard com.
pretended the situation he tried,
evidently for the purpose of conceal
ment, to cover himself with some
thing, l cannot at this time tell ex-
actly what, but of resistance he Of
fered none at ali. l then hurried to
the other tent, rhere l found a part
of the staff of the Confederate lead
er. Here, also, perfect quietude
reigned, easily explainable by the
exertions and excitement incident
to their flight. They were surprised
to the extent that / tore away sad
die from under the head of one OF
the sleeping officers and they all
surrendered Internationally, without
offering the least resistance.
FIRED UPON BY FRIENDS.
Not until the capture of Davis and
his associates bad been thus accom-
plished was the signal shot that had
been agreed upon the previous day
fired, which soon brought Col.
Pritchard and his companions to the
scene of action. This scene, howev.
er, was, to our great astonishment,
at once responded to by heavy fire
from the neighboring woods, which
fire we, of course, answered. BY this
skirmish we had one young man
killed, his heart being pierced by q
bullet, and one wounded. Our as.
tonishment increased greatly when
we took one of our assailants q pris.
oner and discovered that he belong.

They formed, in fact, part of the
First Wisconsin Cavalry Regiment
and had, like ourselves, arrived the
evening" before in the neighborhood
OF Irwinsville without knowing OF
having the slightest idea Of the pres
ence OF DAvis, still less of our own
The victims OF this fatal encounte
were buried with military honors
We had a breakfast, to us, as a mat
ter OF course, very joyous one, il
which Jefferson Davis and our othe
prisoners participated, and then W
rode back to headquarters.

's Very good. A knowledge of the

Tom studied law, studied as If he

he was admitted to the bar he opened
an Office, not ike a luxurious smoking
room filed with Persian rugs and ques-

York, but bare business Office with a
''shingle" outside intended to allure
clients.
Clients came at last, and Tom gave
himself up to each case with zeal and
capacity for hard work which ensured
success. While his companions were

drawing rooms, Tom was steadily gain

most trivial circumstance about him.
Yet if he had chosen, he might like
so many of the sons of our rich men,

of toadying of social leaders, the
triumph of seeing his name in the $50

Two Curious Needles.

The King of Prussia recently visited
needle manufactorY in his Kingdom,
in order to see what machinery, com
bined with the human hand, could pro.
duce. He was shown a number Of
superine needles, thousands of which;
together, did not weigh half an ounce,
and marveled how such minute objects
could bepierced with an eye. But he
was to see that in this respect even
something still finer and more perfect
could be created. The borer-that is,
the workman whose business it is to
bore the eyes in these needles asked
for a hair from the monarch's head. It
was readily given and with smile. He
placed it at once under the boring
machine, made a hole in it with the
greatest care, furnished it with a thread
and then handed the singular needle to
the astonished King
The second curious needle is in the
possession of Queen Victoria. It was
made at the celebrated needle manu-
factory at Bedditch, and represents the
column of Trajan in miniature. This
well-known Roman column is adorned
with numerous scenes in sculpture,
which immortalize Trajan's heroic ac-
tions in war. On this diminutive needle
scenes in the life of Queen Victoria are
represented in relief, but so finely cut
and SO small that it requires a magni-
flying glass to see them. The Victoria
needle can, moreover, be opened; it
contains a number of needles of smaller
size, which are equally adorned with
scenes in relief. The Household.

OYER THE FENCE rs OUT.

As we batted the ball about,
Ee had a rule after hours of school,
That rOver the fence was out"
And though we are men, we think now and
then
of that rule Of our childish day;
We feel its force, with tinge of remorse,
La graver matters than play.
In struggle and greed, to supply ev'ry need,
We shorten life's meagre spun;
And the gush of Joy in the beardless boy
Il lost in the bearded man.
We rear up false claims, we miss our best
aims,
And go down in the noise and rout;
We flnd out too late, by not batting straight,
That "0ver the fence is out"
We toll and we dig we rear and we rig,
We barter, we venture, we SAIL
NE bend evry will, we mount ev'ry hill
Forget we are human and frail.
Our reneFgies wasted, trae bliss untasted,
We are whirled, like dead leaves, about;
In life's bleak December, too late to remember
That "Oyer the fence is out!'
