of terror at the rumor that United

The government dare not fight, and
they fear that to surrender the YES

foreign man-of-war, would make
them unpopular. They have decid-

The Atlas line steamer, Alean, Capt.

Haytian Republic at New York, and
they hope to accomplish it in this

spared the disgrace of being com-
PEELED to deliver the vessel on the de-
mand of foreign man of war. The
government also hopes to escape pay
ment of indemnity.
OPERA HOUSE goers had a decided

the presentation of such artistic work,

such plays will not only serve to raise
the dramatic standard in this city
and give intense enjoyment to play

of the objection urged in certain quar-
tiers against the drama as an educator.

DISTINGUISHED PARTY.

The following distinguished party

THE sensation of the hour is the

captured Emin Pasha and the White
Pasha supposed to be Henry NJ.
Stanley, and that they will be liber-
ated only on the abandonment of the
siege of Suakim by the Egyptian and
English forces. The Intelligence
creates CONSERVATION in England and
in Belgium and more definite infor-
nation is awaited with the most in
tense anxiety. That this should be
the ending of all SANKEY'S successes
and hardships seems too discourage
ing to be accepted as true.

I cannot truthfully say that the city of
San Francisco is a beautiful one; but 1t is
strangely unique, possessing like New Or
leans characteristics peculiar to itself.
Knob Hill" one of the highest points in
the city, commanding a vast and extended
view, boasts a number of bonanza resi-
dences, all elegant and costly structures,
the bronze fence of the Flood mansion
costing alone 800, 900. A birds eye view
of the city shows an interminable mass of
wooden buildings, not drowned in green
or softened by clambering vines, but
standing out. every point and pinnacle
bare, in the brazen sunshine. There is
scarce a tree to be seen in any direction
you may choose to look. The general i'm
preston is b%arrenness. 1t seems like a
city planted in the desert, for around and
about it are sand dunes and barren wastes
and t~reeless mountains, and only the
beautiful bay v it from In indescrib-
able desolation of appearance
This is, of course, O birds eye view of
the city. In its immediate center all is
hustle and business-the fire and energy
of a great enterprise-and l nave never
seen more beautiful goods or more mag
nifcent stores or broader streets or more
stylish women.-San Francisco Cor. New

West Point Nic1names.

It's only on the rolls and in official con-
versation that the West Point cadets are
known by their right names. When talk
ing among themselves nicknames only are
used. OF course, the custom is INDUCED
in by all college students, but nowhere is
1t SO universal as at West Point. The
nicbnames selected invariably refer to
some popularity of the cadet, either ply
steal or mental.
For the benefit of curious outsiders and
admiring relatives, who may be ignorant
on the subject, here are some of the names

Society on Cooney Island was greatly dis
turbed. A serious question had arisen
which caused much comment in the hamlet
Whether st. Patricl's day should be cele-
brated with a procession and accompanying
blare of brazen instruments or be solemni2ed
by banquet. Tho banquet would be a
breach of precedent; therefore it was not
countcnanccd by the conservative element
On the other hand, it was claimed by those
devoted to gastronomic pleasures that this
was an age of progress; brass bands were O
relic of an elrctc civilization, and departure
thcrecrom would be q step III the right dires
ton.
Mr.. Finn favored the banquet.
"Sure, fwat do man want to be galavan-

THE IRISR-AMERlCAN.


By T. D. SULLIVAN.
Columbia the free is the land of my BIRTH
And my paths have been all on American earth;
But my blood is as Irish as any can be,
And my heart is with Erin afar DER the sea.
My father, and mother, and friends all around,
Are daughters and sons of the sacred old
ground;
They ran,hleI its bright plains and mountains
among,
And filed is fair valleys with laugh and with
song
But sing their sweet music, and often they
own
1t is true to old Ireland in style and in tone;
l dance their say dances and hear them with
Ree
Say each touch tells of Erin afar DER the sea.
l have tufts of green shamrock in sods they
brought DER,
have shells they picked up ere they stepped
from the shore,
I have books that are treasures; the fondest l
Is 1.-THE Melodies" claspcd and nigh covered with
gold.
My pictures are pictures Of scenes that are dear
For the beauties they are, or the glories they
were,
And of good men and great men whose merits
shall be
Long the pride Of green Erin afar DER the sea.
Dear home of my fathers! I'd hold thee to
blame,
and my cheeks would at times take the crimson
Of shame,
Did thy sad tale not show, in each sorrow stained
line,
That the might of thy tyrant was greater than
thine

tho in vad er to tread on her soil.
When back DER the main they chas'd the Dane,
And gave to religion and learning their spoil;
When valor and mind, together combined
But wherefore lament DER the glories departed?
Her star shall shine out with as vivid array,
For ne'er had she children more brave and true
hearted
Than those she now secs on st. Patricks day.
Her scepter, alas. passed away to the stranger,
And treason surrendered what valor had held;
But true hearts remained amid darkness and
danger,
Which, spite of her tyrants, would not be
qlcel.
Oft, oft, through the night flashed CLEANS Of
light,
Which almost the darkness of bondage dis
PEELED;
But q star now is near, her heaven to cheer,
Not like the wild CLEANS which so fitfully dartcd,
But long to shine down with its hallowing ray,
On daughters fair, and sons as true hearted,
AS Erin beholds on st. Patrick's day.
Oh blest be the hour when hegirt by her cannon,
And haid as it rose by nations applause,
That flag waved aloft DER the spire Of Dungannon,
Asserting for Irshmcn, Irish laws.
Once more shall it wave, DER hearts as brave,
Despite of the dastartls who mock at her cause,
And like brothers agreed, whatever their creed,
Her children, inspired by those gories departed.
No longer in darkness Responding will stay,
But join in her cause like the brave and true
hearted,
Who rise for their rights on st. Patrick's day.
