The Small Boy and His Drums.

Golden Days is responsible for this story

"WiIl you take dollar for it?' ooh, yes,
sir" said the boy eagerly. Ma said she
hoped I'd sell it for ten cents" The ex-
change was made, and the drum put where
it wouldn't make any more noise, and the
nervous man chuckled over his stratagem.
But to his horror, when he got home that
night there were four drums beating in
front of his house, and as he made his ap-
pearance the leader stepped up and said
cheerfully: These are my cousins, sir.
took that dollar AID bought four new
drums. Do you want TO give us four dol
lars for them" The nervous neighbor
rushed into the house in despair, and the

Denial That Parnell Agreed to Retire in Favor
of 0Brien.
DUBLIN, Jan. 8.-United Ireland says to-
day that Parnen will make an important
statement on Sunday next in an address
which he is to deliver in Limerick.
The Freeman's Journal says that Parnell
denies the statements published. to the
effect that Parnell agreed not to canvass
Ireland until the general election; that he
agreed to transfer tile funds to o Brien in
order that the latter may pay the Tipperary
tenants; that O'Bren has agreed to secure
McCaIthy's deposition, and that O'Brien
will lead the reunited Irish party.
LONDON, Jan. S.-According to a dispatch
TO the Exchange Telegraph Company,
Maurice Healy, in an interview, said the
BOuiOgne conference was not productive of
any definite results.
BoULoGNE, Jan. S.-ORrien denies the
report that Parnell agreed to retire. and
that he O'Bren) is to replace Mccarthy as
lender of the IrSh party.
NEW YORK, Jan. 9.-The Herald's Lon
don special says: The Irish members who
participated in the conference at Boulogne
between O'Brien and Parnell still preserve
extraordinary reticence as to the outcome of
their deliberations. The terms cabled you
yesterday are, however, believed to be sub
stantial!y correct. 1t is understood that
OBrien is in no sense whatever acting as q
representative, still less as plenipotentiarv.
in the negotiations which he has thought tit
to Open with the deposed leader. There is,
therefore, nothing of a binding character in
the treaty OF peace arranged between the
deposed leader and the new leader designa-
ted by him.
O'Bren is now in communication with
Mccarthy, with view tn persuadiug that
gentleman 10 retire in favor of himself.
Mccarthy is the least ambitious and push
ing of politicians, but it remains to be seen
whether he will discover any Justification
Tor abdicating the position to which he was
elected by vote of majority of his col
leagues at the instance of joint request
preferred by one colleague and by the
leader whom it was found necessary to
depOSe.
Mccarthy has been invited over to Paris
by O'BTien to hear the sentence of deposi-
ton that has been passed upon him by the
self-cOnstituted tribunal of BoulOgne. In
the present circumstances the recently
elected leader of the Irish Parliamentary
party is disinclined to accept the invitation.
similar uncertainty prevails with regard
to the attitude of the patriot party at large.
1t should be remembered that unless the
party choose to take some concerted action
in the matter no opportunity will present it
