HumOr of Irish Blunders.

An lrishman, testifying IN police
court, was asked to explain why he
had shown the white feather" on a
certain occasion"
lis better TO be coward for five
minutes than dead all your life" he
replied. Another Irishman, while ac-
companying fishing party, had a bad
fall down steep mountain slope.
Picking himself up he devoutly ex-
claimed: "Glory be to God that |
wasn't walking back over the noun
tains dead man."
The humor of these blunders lies in
the inability of the speaker to regard
life as excluding DEATH and death as
excluding life. But neither of them
is a nonsensical expression; on the
contrary each illustrates what an Irish
writer says of Irish blunders "They
are frequently humorous hyperboles,
and present very often the most ener-
getic mode of expressing the speakers
opinion"
An Irish peasant talks of "sthrong
weakness, and says that the water is
dry in the river" and tells You that
the only way to preyint what's past is
to put stop to it before it happens"
He will confess, 4 can always remem-
Der things in advance, or, There |

of rain as varying in size from a shil-

they are also picturesque blunders,

ingenuity. Even the CATERS Of turf
and drawers of whisky are orators,
wrote Martin Edgeworth of the Irish
peasants more than eighty years ago.

London Spectator we have drawn,

An Irish lady, observing that her
bed curtains had caught fire, hurried
away to fetch water. She caught mp a
can of water, and as she was about to
pour it on the flames, remembered that

school-boy placed a cup full Of coffee

difficulty by turning the cup around.

CAPTAIN SMEDLEY.
A Romance of the Civil
War.

CHAPTER VII-Continued.

Before mid day, forty seven men were
assembled outside the cabin. The story
of the new Captain had been carried about
with the news of the expected raid, SO
that when Smedley came out with his
sword buckled on, accompanied by Bran
don, he was received with attention and
respect. There were 10 cheers, no noisy
welcomes; they saw in his face that he
was both courageous and earnest, and
they gave him the approval of silence.
Without preliminaries, he formed them
into a company, opened ranks, and in
spected arms. The whole together made
a queer lot; but he was glad to find that
there was ammunition enough, not fire.

that the rifles oUtnumbered the shot

facings. Some difficulty was caused by
the great space occupied by Ithuriel Man
cy; which the Captain observing, and
correctly "sizing-up' this recruit, he
transferred him to the left, where he
made file by himself.
The Captain had 10 time to devote to
the manual" He commanded "atten-

It's queer how men viii come into &
bar-room, and, leaning against the coun-
ter, exchange condolences within hear
ing of the barkeeper that they wouldn't
have repeated for worlds, just as if the
man behind the counter had no earE.
Why, I've heard secret7 from men who
were drinking the mixtures l had just
made for them, and were talking away
freely to each other, that would have
created tremendous sensation if they
had been published.
The fact Is that men get in the habit
of considering everything sub rosa that
is said and done in a bar-room. One
rarely hears the gossip of a saloon
quoted on the sll 9et with names, and
certainly you never hear a bartender
babhlIng about something that is said in

He took his departure in perfect good
humor, repeating, as far as he could be
heard, that he expected to see great deal
more of the war.
Captain Smedley was right in his pre-
diction that this raiding party would be
heard of elsewhere in that region. Other
strong attachments, both cavalry and in
fantry, appeared; the mountains were over
run; the scattered Unionists of the
Chnch could not cope with the numbers
sent against them. In that fall the
whole of East Tennessee came under
Confederate domination; the Union men
with their families sought safety in the
recesses of the great Cumberland Range.
Here Charles Smedley recruited an in
fantry battalion of four companies
among the mountaineers, of which he
became Lieutenant Colonel and Graham
Brandon Major. Their first service
in this organization was at the battle of
Mill Spring, Kentucky, at the opening
of the following year, where they behaved
gallantly. We may expect to meet them
again.
