POLITICAL LIFE IN IRELAND.

dressed the tenants of the Ponsonby estate at
Youghal early Sunday morning, and at
tempted to organize the meeting which the
government by proclamation had forbidden
to be held. subsequently he mounted car
and began u speech to the assembled crowd,
but the police dragged him down and charged
upon the people with drawn batons A Sc
rious melee ensued during which several
were wounded on both sides. 1t is al
legged that many of the police were
stabbed Capt Plunkett, in charge of the
police, was thrown down and severely beaten
and cut about the head. O'Brien escaped to
the house of priest, and later harangued a
crowd in stable. The police and military
are patrolling the streets of Youghal.
oiBrien left London Saturday night, de-
claring that he would hold the meeting at
all hazards. At the advice of friends he only
purchased ticket to Ireland instead of
round trip ticket, the idea being that he
would probably get himself into Jail again.

WHIcmA, BAN, Sept. 24.-The baby Of
a farmer, William Beattic, who lives on
the hanks OF the Cimmaron river. north Of
the Territory line, was carried of by an
eagle Saturday. Bcattic went to work In
the morning, leaving in his dug out his
two children, one five years old and n baby
aged two months. About noon Beait ic

She said she had taken the baby into the
yard, and left Il there while she went into
the house. In few minutes she heard a
cry, and looking out she saw the baby
"iiying away" as she expressed il.
The father knew at once that an eagle
had visited his home, and summoned his
ncighB3rs to the wooded bank OF the
river for which the eagle had made. In
about an hour the sound of u shot sum-
moned the searchers together one Of the
men had found the eagle and was fighting

Fishes are weighed In their scales,
And an elephant packs his own trunk F;
But rats never tell their own tales,
And one seldom gets chInk In q chunk.
Dogs seldom wear their own pants.
Which fact lays them open to scorn;
No nephew or niece fsncies ants,
And cow never blows It's own horn.
A cat cannot parse i.s own claws.
No porcupine nibs his own Quill.
Though orphan bears still have their paws
A bird win not pay It's own bill.
Sick ducks never 60 to q quack.
A horse cannot plow It's own name.
A ship Is not hurt by tack.
