The Landlords Farewell to Ireland
DEDICATED TO LORD ERNEST HAEDUr, Ex-M.

DEDICATED TO LORD ERNEST HAEDUP, EX-M. +.
There came to the beach poor landlord of Erin,
The due his rent was heavy and chill;
For his garments he sighed fer they needed re-

While the boots On his feet were just tenants at

But a steamer attracted his eyes sad devotion,
And he thought as he watched it glide over the
ocean.
There's one thing that keeps men poor grinders

And that's emigration from Erin-go-bragh
''Ssd is my fate y said the nurpe nosed stranger,
TO beg I'm ashamed and 10 dig-dOn't agree;
Ihave no refuge from famine and danger,
But 10 set up pub IN the land OF the free.
Never again at the midnignt'S small hours,
Shall sing the old port III those well furnished
bowers.
Which my grandfather got from he governing
powers,
When penal laws llouished in n-go-bragh
Erin, my country! you'll soon BE- fOrsaken
by all the respectable Landlords OF yore;
Then Will those raScally tenants awaken,
With their nose TO some grindstoue they knew
not before.
Oh. cruel fate! could YOU ever repIacem me
In my seat in the house, where no baglnan could
chase me,
And prove my relations were hanged by the score.

OUR CHICAGO MARKET REPORT.
CHICAGO, MAY 10, 1881

CHICAGO. May ~, 1856.
The leading mar kets have stronger
feeling as the present labor trouble
seems to be nearly ended.
Wheat moderately active and higher
in price, owing to frmer markets in
the east Receipts here ard other
principal market centers were small.
The corn market is rather quiet, but
prices are little tirmer. Oats are dull;
the favorable growing weather and the
fact of the season being two or three
weeks earlier than usual is making
large deliveries. Barley and rye dull
and easy. Seeds sold to asmall extent.
Dairy products quiet, but prices firm.
Vegetables selling well; offerings hber-
al. During the last five DAYS beef
cattle have advanced 80 to SOC. The
receipts are very small and demand
good. Veal calves sell at fair prices.
Hogs active and 10 to 15c higher than
last week. The demand from eastern
shippers and packers absorb more than
two thirds of the offerings, which con-
sists mostly of common light sorts.
Sheep are steady, demand equal to
the receipts; prices - to soc higher
than week ago.

Under the no-license system all the sa-
looms would have moved just outside Of
the village limits (about stones throw
from Canal street,, procured licenses
from the town board at 800 each and
would sell more liquor than before.
Thus the town would get what benefit
was to be had, while the village would
have suffered all the evils to greater
extent than before. The board is en-
titled to the thanks of the people of the
village for their action in the matter.

vently hope that the new one will be as

A unique character and notable figure
in Wisconsin politics was Alexander T.
Gray, who died in Washington last
Thursday. His home was originally
in GAINESVILLE, where he and Matt. Car
penter were old cronies. Gray was
secretary of state when the famous
Bashford -Barstow case came up. He
was alleged to be the man who forged
the supplementary returns from Bridge
Greek, and Range %, Town TO-" by
which Barstow was declared elected.
When the case was taken into court it
was found that the returns from points
hundreds of miles apart were written in
the same handwriting and the torn
edges of two sheets fitted together ex-
actly. He went to Washington with
Carpenter and was his private secretary
for ten years or more.

Egan's Righteous Wrath,

LINCOLN, Neb., May 8.-President
Egan, of the Irish National League of
America, was interviewed to-day re-
garding the statements in the London
papers which attributed the anarchist
riots in Chicago to the Irish element.
Mr.. Egan was very indignant at the
charge. He said
Those English papers, in this in
stance, as in every other where they
refer to Irishmen, display the most
arrogant ignorance and barefaced
lying. If there is one feature of the
socialistic trouble more noticeable than
another or more gratifying to every
lover of Ireland, it is the fact that up
to the present not single Irishman
has been found on the side of the red
flag, while we can point with melan-
choly pride to the fact that about three
fourths of the gallant fellows who fell
in defence of law and order were of
our nationality. Some Irishmen may
perhaps have gone to extremes in de-
Tending their homes and in battling for
their national right, and some of them
| will, no doubt, do so again in the fu-
ture if English stupidity and English
prejudice prevail to thwart the efforts
of Gladstone; but socialism, as the term
is understood by the followers of the
red flag, has never found and never
will find any foothold in Ireland or
among the Irish people. 1t has, how
ever, considerable strength in England.
