WHOLESALE IRISH EviCTIONs.
Father stephens Telegram Describing
the Unfortunate State of Things.

The New York Suns London correspondent
says: Evictions upon a wholesale scale are
threatened on the Olphert estates in Donegal
where the tenants made such a gallant fight a
few months ago. Scores Of brave fellows are
now in Jail for the crime of defending their
homes upon that occasion, but their fate has
not intimidated others, and already prepare
tons are being made which may result in blood
shed upon a scale which was averted last time
only by the strenuous exertions of Father
McFadden and Father Stephens
The evictions are to commence on Thursday,
and the situation is clearly conveyed by the
following telegram which have Just received
from Father Stephens at Falcarragh:
THE war of determination is about being re-
sumed. Seventy families, comprising $50 in
dividuals, are to be thrown on the roadside
What intensifes the sad occasion immensely is
that these poor people have been brought face
to face with famine owing to the utter failure
of the potato crop. The families to be evicted
have been living on Indian meal since last
Christmas. The priests of the districts have
been provided seed from money supplied by
private charity. FIR. McFadden. the parish
priest of many of the people to be evicted, is a
prisoner in the Derry Jail and must leave the
district to attend my trial under the coercion
act on Friday. We feel, therefore, that the
time is specially chosen by the authorities
when they believe the people would be left de-
fenseless"

Bruin Ran the Ship,


When the bark Golden Star left the China
seas bound for San Francisco she carried an
unusual passenger in the shape Of black bear
weighing 400 pounds. He was confined in a
strong wooden box, which was placed on deck
aft OF the captains cabin. One night as they
were changing watch, the bear pried off one Of
the wooden bars of the cage and got out. Mr.
Bruin shifted the breeze for moment and then
espled the man at the wheel, and without far

Gle light was extinguished in the struggle. The
first officer, alarmed at the sudden lurching of
the vessel, rushed on deck. Close to the wheel
he perceived dark form.
Hello, you lubber!' bawled out the mate;
what do you mean sleeping at your post?"
Then he administered a sound kick at what
he mistook for the sleeping sailor. but which,
to his horror, turned out to be the bear. With
a snort Of rage he hurled himself upon the
first officer, telling him to the deck with blow
OF his paw. BY this time the captain and crew
were all on deck, and for a few minutes there
was pitched battle, until the bear broke away,

the field with unbounded confidence and an
earnestness that would be highly commendable
otherwise applied. Yet more curious '.fads, in
the current literature are the strange Compare
sons not few of the authors draw, TO say moth
ing of the incomprehensible-to the many
words they use.
One author Of the day, in q much discussed
book, makes the dark tresses Of his heroine ex-
hale fragrance like unto the ''odor Of distant
oases." While again she Is made to hearken TO
her lovers protests il assisting at the solilo-
