LONDON, Aug. 4-Lord Aberdeen was inter
viewed at Kingstown, last evening, by
a reporter who questioned him concerning the
ovation rendered him yesterday at Dublin. on
his departure from that city. Lord Aberdeen
said he had been impressed by the good temper
and courtesy shown by the people who took part
In the demonstration. The processionists were
orderly, and there was nothing in the actions of
the great crowd which could have been consid-
cred aggressive or annoying to their political op-
ponents. IF it was demonstration for Glad
stonc," said Lord Aberdeen, it was none the
less one of kindly feeling, while, at the same
time there were exhibited signs of extreme spon.

mans Journal Mr. Parnelis organ) says: Lord
Aberdeen came to Ireland as herald Of peace.
The Irish democracy, finding the message with
drawn. resolved that he should convey the assur-
hnce that they are ready to clasp hands in friend
ship with the British democracy, while they are
resolved to maintain Ireland's rights at all odds.
The Dublin Express (Loyalist) says that even
q stranger might notice that respectable citizens
were absent from the gathering of yesterday.
The Dublin Irish Times (Loyalst) says the af
fair was ona.sded and was purely Gladstone
display. Conservative newspapers in England
adopt this view of the demonstration, but the
Dublin correspondent of the London Times. who
Is reputed to be Tory and Orangeman, tele-
graphs to this paper that the ovation has not
been equaled since the days of O'Connell For
the first time IN the history of Ireland, he says,
o Viceroy has demolished the barrier separating
Imperial dignity from the sentiment of the
masses thereby merging the rule of the Queen
in that of the sovereign people.

The Mysterious Disappearance OF the st.
Louis Mail Pouch.
Plttsburg Chronicle
The interest manifested in the solving of the
mysterious disappearance of mail pouch No 353,
between New York, Pittsburg and indianapolis.
Is arabated among railway employees OF this CITY,
One of the mail clerks. who was on the postal
car on the day that it was supposed TO carry the
lost pouch from this city to indianapolis, was
seen at Union Station this morning. In speak
ing of the matter, he said II am almost positive
that the pouch was not lost between pittsburg
and Indianapolis AS usual, there were four Of
as on the postal-car on that day. When we
were within twenty miles of Indianapolis
then Fielder and the first clerk on the car
went through the car and checked of
each pouch with the list for which
receipts had been given. It was then
that it was discovered that the pouch was miss
off in mistake along with other registered Pitts
burg matter at the Union station. Mistakes of
that kind have occurred. II such had been the
case, then the pouch would either have remained
IN Pittsburg or have been sent on with the
Cincinnati mail But in that case the mistake
would soon have been found out either in Pitts
burg or IN Cincinnati and nothing has been
heard OF the pouch at either of these places
This talk about some getting on the car and
stealing the pouch is nonsense. for we strictly
obey the order not to allow anyone on the car
except those in the employ of the mail service.
don't think that the pouch could have been in
the postal car when it left Pittsburg Hereafter
we all intend, no difference if the eastern train
s late, to check off each registered pouch that
on the list.
