THE IRIsHMAN's REQUEST.

'I heard story on an Irishman the other day which-I think is new" said a friend at the club. ssThis Irishman was in the habit of going home drunk every night of his life and beating his poor wife Biddy in the good old fashion. He didn't lick her because be dislikad her or wanted tc punish her, but just because he thoughtit il the proper thing to do. Finally, however, the patient woman could stand it no long. CT and appealed to the priest. The rev. erend father went to her home that even. ing and waited for Pat He came. drunk as usual, and the good priest took him in hand =
 "'Pat, says he, you're drunk
 "'Yls, your riverence,' says Pat, I'm feelin' purity good.' .. ,.t -9
 "'Well, how long is this goin' to con- tinue, I'd like to know :,
 "Jist as long as kin git dhrop of the creatnr, says Pat. T can t stop dhrinkin.
 " "''Now, see here, Pat, says the good father, I'll tell you what. You'll stop this right here tonight. If you ever git drunk agaln I'll turn ye into a rat-d'ye mind that? If don't see yes I'll know about it llst the same whether ye.get drunk or not, and If ye do get drunk, into rat ye go. Now remember that-there's good man.
 "Ihe priest went away and Pat was do- clle that night but the next night when he came home and kicked open the door one glance showed Biddy that he was load. ed to the hat. She guaged his flag at once and saw that he was in fighting trim, so she lodged behind the table in an .atti- tude of defense. # '773 ~i7s
 "'Don't be afraid darling, said Pat in a subdued key, as he steadied himself before dropping into chair, I'm not goin' to bate you this night I'm not going to lay the weight of me finger on ye. I want ye to be kind to me tonight, darIin', and to remember, if ye kin, the days when we was swatehearts, and when I was always kind to ye and ye loved me. Ye know his riv. erence was here last night, and he tould me if iver I got dhrunk again he'd turn me into rat.

The controversy between President Green of the Western Union and Postmaster Gen. erai Wanamaker continues. The former has replied to the latter's letter at great length, and retires from his original posi- ton that the government never gave the company anything that the company took advantage of, to an acknowledgement that # the government did give it anything, it gave what cost it nothing, and consequent- Y the company is not beholden to the gov eminent in any way. The point made by President Green merely begs the question and his letter is not as strong as was to have been expected.

Not ON the Streets.

An evening paper publishes the alb.
surd statement that Mr.. Cuddy, who is
now staying in the County Jail for con.
tempt of Court, was seen on Main street
Sunday evening and took dinner at a
Main-street restaurant. The fact was
narrated, 80 the article alleges, by an
eye witness, and Captain Darcy, of the
County Jail, is represented as saying
that ''as far as he knew" Mr.. Cuddy had
not been outside the Jail.
The story was warmly resented by the
officials at the Jail. The fact that it is
preposterous and absurd, as we'll as COM
pletely untrue, will not prevent some
few people from believing it and in this
way it is supposed that public sentiment
with regard to the imprisonment will be
affected. The animus with which the
canard is told is plainly evident. As it
reflects pretty seriously upon q promi-
nent Republican official, it is little sur
prising that the evening paper gave
credence to such rumor.
