the drawers Of the dresser. prelerrug to
use bis own, which he had 10 hls portI
msnteau.
HIS visit came TO q sudden conclusion,
and the bishop had 70 time to restore the
toilet articles to their proper places, abd
in consequence the servant reported them
missing to her mistress, adding that Blsh
op Potter must have taken them.
OF course it was not to be for q moment
thought that the articles had been mali
cIousIy purIoined. but they were gone, and
so was the reverend guest
The following telegram wes sent to
Bishop Potter: "By mistake and in your
haste you have taken toilet articles from
dresser.
To this Bishop Potter made reply over
the wire, Poor. but honest, Find pro

OF course many and ample apologies
were offered aud every fort made to keep

which hung upon the wall Of the pavilion, which
was decorated with the banners Of all nations.
They hauled down two Union Jacks in the north
east corner and two which hung In the CEN

and the crowd in the pavilion cheered wildly as
each British ensign thrown to the floor. The
soldiers trampled upon them and kicked them
about the floor as they yelled Down with the

The band continued to play in order TO lessen
the excitement Many Of the women who were
dancing at the time Joined in the cheers. Finally
order was restored and the ball proceeded.
Major George +. McQuade. Of the Irish Volun-
