Innisfail.
(By SheefrO.)

What land is ever fair to view.
70 God and to His mandates true,
Which foreign foe could ne'er subdue
Nor tyrant lord successful WOO?
'Tis Innisfail, loved Innisfail,-
Land OF the brave uncOnQllered Gael,
Where Patrick'S faith shall never fail
And Satan'S powers in vain aSSail.
What land was rich and proud and great.
And free, ere freedoms alphabet
Was lisped by any other state.
West of the far famed Golden Gate?o
'Tis 1nnisfail, it's Innisfail,
Land of the fierce and warlike Gael,
Where Patrick s faith shall never fail
And Satan's powers in vain assail.
What land defied the Romans might,
The nOrthmen slew in gallant fight,
And held the torch Of science bright
Aloft through Europe's darkest night?
'Tis InniSfail, it's Innsfail,
Home OF the pure. enlightened Gael.
Where Patrck's failh shall never fail,
And Satan's powers in vain assail.
What land in emerald robes arrayed,
\ fearless heart and soul displayed,
4 home for love and valOr made
And truth to both its homage paid"
'Tis Innisf;il. its Innisfail,
Home of the pure and vir,uouS Gael,
Where Patrick's faith shall never fail
And Satan'S powers in vain assail
What land has never bent the knee,
Toroyal lust and tyranny;
And force and fraud and treachery
All failed to shake its cOnStancy"
'ris InniSfail, It's Innisfail,
Home of the brave lmbending Gael.
Where Patrick'S faith shall never fail
And Satans powers in vain aSsal.
Which is that prosecuted land
Whose ianpJllrtl laws and faith arr, banned
Whose castles, towns and temples grand
Fail Meath the spoilers iron hand:
Tis lnnlsfail, It's Innisfail
Home OF the prosecuted Gael
see her cheeks, grow wan and pale
hear her agonizng wall!
What land is this foreign horde
Lays waste with famine. fire and sword"
Its right to live now seems ignored.
Or scarce remembered by the lord!
Tis Innisfail, poor Innisfail,
Land OF the starved and hunted Gael;
see her cheeks grow wan and pale
hear her agonizins wall!
What land has ever nobly stood
Resisting every Servitude,
Whose binding tears and purest blood
In every age for freedom flowed?
'TiS Innlsfail, brave Innisfail,
Land of the stout untiinching Gael
Whose heart and hand could never quai
Before the tyrantS' steel wrought mail.
What country bids her sons unite
Once more her many wrongs to right.
And to the end unyelding fight
With pike and gun and dynamite?
'Tis Innisfail. brave Innsfail,
Home of the hopeful, conquering Gael
Whose heart and hand shall never ulla
Whose fight for freedom can not fail.

Shrewd Yankee.

4 Northern shoe merchant set I'd shop
in Nicksburg several years ago, and buy
ing his stock Of the manufacturer ne al
ways dealt with, without reference to any
pecullarities among his new patrons, found
himself loaded with an absolutely unstable
lot of shoes. At first he thought his case
was hopeless. and then noticing that the
few small numbers be had were too small
really for the people that called for them,
he tumbled to the real state of the case.
The Nicksburg ladies were greatly graft
fed at his automatically loud avowals
that he had bought his stock all wrong
through ignorance of the tininess Of the
Southern foot, and when he at considerable
expenditure of time and ingenuity managed
TO mark q large part of his stock over
again and invited them to come and see
his new goods bought for little feet, he
drove q good trade, and he says saved him.

The Italian Consul's Report.

WASHINGTON, March 23.-Baron
Fava. the Italian minister, to-day re-
ceived the first reports from the Italian
bOnsul at New Orleans in relation to the
killing of the Italians there last Satur-
day. These reports, it is said, sustain
the position taken by Barren Fava in
his protest to Mr.. Blaine OF March 18th,
with relation to the inaction of the au-
thOrities of New Orleans before and
during the shooting.
In transmitting a copy of the reports
10 Secretary Blaine, the baron repeated
that the conduct Of the local authori-
ties at New Orleans was in the highest
degree blameable. for the reason that it
was in keeping with their duties to pro-
tect the life of the Italian subjects ac-
cOrdin- to the terms of the treaty exist
ing between the two countries. as had
been called to the attentian OF the gov
ernor by Secretary Blaine with an I'M
questionable spirit OF justice. to which
the baron said he bore cheerful witness.

4 story on Elder.

The following story on Speaker Elder
has been resurrect, d by former clerk
of the Kansas house: Fifteen wears ago
whe n Dudley Haskell was speaker OF the
house ard the present Speaker Elder a
representative. the latter was greatly
interested in bill Of the same nature
of the waiver of appraiser which sam
Wood as clerk of the judiciary commit
tee. lost recently. Governor Elder-he
was always called governor then
fought hard fight for the bill and got
it put through the house and senate.
but from the latter body it came back
with some slight amendments. When
brought up for consideration again in
the house the chief clerk made the dis
covery t. at the original bill had no en-
acting clause in it. and it had actually
cone through both houses in that shape
but the state printer had fixed 1t up all
right in the printed bills and the enact
ing clause was printed as big IL lie.
OF course the fact that il was omitted
from the original copy invalidated the
bill. and the chief clerk quietly inform
ed Mr.. Elder OF the error. The gov
ernOr, in relating the story. quantity
remarks: In those days | was some
what high tempered and much addicted
to the Use of prOfane language. and l
think used some very unparliament-
airy language" As a matter OF fact, he
did. He sat near the speakers desk.
and when the chief clerk told him OF
the error he sprang up before the house
and in decidedly more emphatic than
elegant terms. denounced the chief
clerk, the speaker and the buffers
who had voted for the bill.
Everybody was astOnished, because
nobody but himself and the chief clerk
knew what was the matter. Several OF
his friends tried to calm him, fearing
that sudden streak of insanity had
upset him. but he raved till his anger
had exhausted him. when he sank into
his seat. The speaker then explained
matters, and the house began to laugh.
1t grew very hilarious over the
matter and this augered Mr.. Elder still
more, but he had to take an unmerci-
full guying. 1t was too late in the ses-
sion to run the bill through again. 80 it
died right there. The governor brood
ed over it great deal, but few days
later the member from Douglas county,
who sat Just behind him and
who had been PARTICULARLY
hard in poking fun at MIR.
Elder, had a pet measure come back
from the senate in exactly the same
manner. When Mr.. Elder heard of it
he jumped right up, when the house
was in session, and, shaking his fist in
his colleagues face. said triumphantly:
There, now: you'll iibe at me again,
wont you2 Just look after your own
bills now, won't you?" then shaking
with satisfied laughter sank into hi.
seat. all his soreness gone, now that his
misery had good company.

r. G.. Dun's Review.

New YORK, March 23.-Dun & Cos
Weekly Review of Trade says:
There is found in almost all quarters
feeling Of confidence and hOpefulnesS
as to the future. Though the present
effect OF short crops is felt in the north
west, the prospect for the coming sea
son is exceptionally bright, and while
in some of the chief manufactures Oper-
atiOns are checked by uncertainty re-
garding prices it may be expected that
the relations between materials and
finished products will be soon adjusted
to the new conditions.
Sales OF wool at Boston, New York
and Philadelphia this year, 50 far, show
an increase over last year of ~ per cent
and still continue larger.
The dress goods makers have closed
| the most prosperous season known and
hope for better prices presently.
In knitting goods some companies are
carrying too large stocks and mar
gins for profit are close, but a great
many orders are still received. The
expansion and diversificatiOn of the
manufacture leaves for foreign supply
only the finer grades of wOrsteds that
are not made here, and even in mems
woOlens there is seen some improve
ment. though the demand looks to
styles rather than quality.
The boot and shoe business is retarded
by specializing in hides and leather, as
prices of goods are no higher than a
year ago; but while buyers are cautious
they are numerous, and the shops are
fairly supplied with orders.
The iron trade shows no change. buy
ers believing that as soon as the demand
for consumption increases again nc
strikes nor shut-downs will restrict pro-
ductiOn.
The general average of all prices, is
still advancing, having risen half of one
per cent for the past week.
Trade in the east is not very brisk.
At cities west of the Mississippi. trade
is fair for the season. The money mar
kets are easier at most of the interior
cities including Chicago and Boston.
At New York rates have changed but
little, y to per cent on call. but there
is some difficulty in obtaining CONNER
cial loans The treasury has put out S2l, :
600, 900 more money than it has taken
in during the week. besides issuing one
million dollars more silver notes.
The business failures Occurring
throughout the country during the last
seven days, were SI5 as compared with
2T3 last week.
