A PROFESSOR OF DYNAMITE.

1 Professor" Mezzeroff is pleasantly dis posed gentleman. He is a firm believer il
 the efficacy of dynamite, and would have i
 freely applied to English obstinacy by pa trlotic Irishmen. He does not believe there 1 is anything very honorable about. war, and | puts some interesting conundrums to illus | trate the ground for his belief. He asks for instance: Was 1t honorable war fol
 England to send twelve monster ships of. war to Alexandria, the commander of which,
 Admiral Seymour, told the people of that
 city that if they did not do SO and so he
 would lombard the city at tho expiration of
 eWenty-four hours, and then began and bom-
 Darded 1t in twenty hours-four hours
 before the time appointed by the English
 villain who has since been made lord for
 his cowardly work? Was it honorable to
 blow up with dynamite the huts of innocent
 Arabs, in which were large number of men,
 women and children? Was it honorable war
 to massacre the Kaffirs in their caves with
 dynamite {? Was it honorable war to order
 the Royal Irish and Invincible Highlanders
 to steal into the trenches of Arabi Pasha at
 midnight, to stab and kill the people in their
 tents? Was 1t honorable war for English
 soldiers, by the command of General Wolse-
 ley, to shoot and stab poor wounded Arabs
 found on the battlefield next nor hing after
 the massacre?
 The professor thinks that if killing is done
 in the cause of human liberty, and he appears
 to have no doubt that great deal of killino is necessary to further this cause. it is more humane to do it quickly than to do it slowly
 by retail The angel of God slew 1855, GOO As syrians in one night, and Professor Mezzerotf would apparently not object to see the same angel, or another equally destructive, slay 165,O0O or more Englishmen. And if some angel does not interfere to help his cause he evidently intends to do what he can as slay. CT himself. He now informs the ignorant and cowsrdly enaissaries of tyrants in this country and Europe that the advocates of dynamite are in position to take care of themselves, and that in a short time Ireland. and every other country, will be freed from the tyranny of Czardom Tn Europe there are now over four hundred schools. and ere long there will be four thousand, so that every trade society and workinpman's club shall be taught all the science of explosives. and two thirds of all the soldiers in Europe are ready to strike with us any day in the cause of human liberty; and when we do so we shall make the tyrants shudder on their thrones, and the scene shall live in the awe struck minds of men. If the foes of liberty l think that no notice has been taken of their | 'currilous writings, we inform them that l everything they have said is on file at head 1 quarters The only way that Ireland can | 'ver meet England is for Irishmen to study l he science and use of explosives. The war 'hip Invincible cost over $7, ,oOo, 900, and $50 worth of tri- nitro can sink her in a minute. English war ships have cost over $1 200, ,OOo,- 100, and FTP, ,o00 worth of dynamite can de- troy the whole English fleet and merchant hips"
 This peaceful professor wants every Irish nan to subscribe not less than $1, but as much more as they please, to the good work # progress by dynamite While a commit ee is collecting the money he would have Ca var council get six small vessels built that ould run al the rate of twenty-four knots 'er hour. Three of these should follow the memorable example of the Alabama. while he other three should be carrying 'tnsees- ary material" to Ireland While these ves els are in process of construction the pro- essor would have one thousand of the most intelligent, honest and brave men' Tho can be selected educated how to manu acture and use pure ''tri-nitro." This is a heerful little scheme, but considering how alngs are going it is not impossible that it, r something like it. may yet be put in op- ration. The time is very sadly out of joint hen such 8 scheme can be even proposed.
