A CLEVER POLITICAL POEM.
1t Was Written by an Irishmnn DurinI
the Rebellion OF 1893.

~ uS "Eitlcu ny IN lrlBnmnn During
the Rebellion OF 1893.
What is spoken of as Zone Of the clev-
crest political poems ever composed"
has recently come under the notice Of a
contributor to northern contemporary,
tho Dundee Advertiser. It was written
by Arthur Connor Cor O'Connor), the
friend Of Lord Edward Fitzgerald, and,
like him, prominent figure in the Irish
rebellion Of 1893. He was arrested ut
Margate that year, when OH his way to
France on secret mission. After being
detained i'll Kilmainham Jail for some
time, he was at length removed, with
other political prisoners, to Fort George
in Scotland. 1t was while on his way
thither that he distributed copies of the
following poem, which was regarded as
proof of his return to loyalty:
Tho pomp of courts and pride Of kings
prize above all earthly things.
love my country, but the king,
Above all men his praise sing
Tho royal banners are displayed
And may success the standard aid,
fain would Danish far from hence
The "Rights of Man. and common sense
Confusion to his odious reign,
Ihat foe TO princes, Thomas Panel
Defeat and ruin seize the cause
OF France, it's liberties and lawsl
If tho above lines DO read continuous
~, they seem 10 express very loyal sen
.iments. Bat if you read the first line
of tho first verse, and then the first line
of the second verso, you will find that
they breathe tho spirit of rampant re-
bellion:
The pomp OF courts and pride Of kings
fain would Danish far from hence.
prize above oil earthly things
The "RiShts OF Man" and common sense
love my country, but the king
Confusion to his odious rcignl
Above all men his praise sing,
That foe to princes. Thomas Panel
The royal banners are displayed.
Defeat and ruin seize tho caused
And may success tho standard aid
OF France its liberties and laws.
Arthur O'Connor ultimately made his
way to France, where, i'll 1907, he mar
ried the daughter of the Marquis de
Condorcet. He entered the French army
and rose to the rank of general. His
death took place in April, 1862, when
he was 81 years of age.

Iue theory is advanced by Bayard
Taylor that animals remember and rec.
ognize the speech of their native land
Once, noticing in Barnum's museum a
hippopotamus which wore an unmistak
able look of detection, he spoke to it in
English. The beast did not move. Going
to another corner of the cage, he said in
Arabic:
~ know you. Come here to me-
The animal at once turned its head,
and when Taylor repeated the words it
came to him, rubbed its head against
the bars and looked up at him with evil
dent delight.
Calls for the same species of animals
differ in different parts of the world,
but each individual will undoubtedly
get used to his habitual call. Cab horses
have often been known to pay no atten-
ton to gentle coaxing, but to start off
promptly atthe usual flow of explosives.

Carlyle Corrected.

at Royal academy dinner in London
some years ago several artists were ex-
pressing their enthusiasm about Titan.
Carlyle and Thackeray, it appears, were
among the guests. Mrs. Annie C. Will
son tells the story of what followed:
Ellis glorious coloring is "a fact about
Titan, said one man, striking the ia
BILE to give emphasis to the remark.
And his glorious drawing is another
fact about Titan - cried another artist.
And so they went on until CARLYLE,
who had been listening in silence to
their rhapsodies, interrupted them by
saying, with a slow deliberation which
had its own impressive emphasis:
"And here sit, man made in the
image of God, who knows nothing about
Titan and cares nothing about Titan,
and that's another fact about Titan"
Thackeray was slipping c,aret at the
moment. Ho paused and bowed courte-
ously to Carlyle. Pardon me- he
said; THAT appears to me to be not u
fact about Titiun, but fact, and lam
entable ONE. about Carlyle"

HEARD EIGHTEEN MILES.
Human Voice Carried From, One End of n

Eighteen miles is the longest distance
on record at which mans voice has
been heard. This occurred in tho Grand
canyon of the Colorado, where one man
shouting the name of Bob at ono end,
his voice was plainly heard at the other
end, which is Is miles away.
Lieutenant Foster, Oh Pearys third
arctic expedition, found that he could
converse with man across the harbor
OF Fort Bowen, a distance of 6,696 feet,
or about a miles, and Sir John Frank
lin said that he conversed with ease at
distance more than mile. DR.. Young
records that at Gibraltar the human
voice has been heard Mt distance of ten
miles.
Sound has remarkable force in water.
Colladon, by experiments made in the
lake OF Geneva, estimated that bell
submerged in the sea might be heard at
distance Of more than GO miles. Frank
lin says that he heard the striking to-
gether of two stones in the water half q
milo away. Over water of surface Of
ice sound is propagated with greater
clearness and strength. DR.. Hutton re-
lates that on quiet part of the Thames,
near Chelsea. he could hear a person
read distinctly Mt tho distance of 140
feet, while away from tho water the
same could only be heard at 76 feet.

All Four Tracks Blocked and Traffic De-
from New Haven Did Effective Work,
Green's Farms, April ga freight
wreck occurred on the New York divi-
sion of the Consolidated road at this
point which blocked all four tracks
and delayed passenger traffic east and
west nearly four hours. An axle on
an east bound freight, which broke
down at o'clock, was the cause of the
trouble. The disabled car left the track
Immediately and four others followed
it. The first car was loaded with steel
biIlets. This load, as We're also the
loads of two lumber laden cars We're
scattered on both sides of the freight
track. The new wrecker of the Console
dated road was sent for from New Hs~
ven. and it did effective work. AM

lumber was lifted bodily, turned in
air and replaced on the track Th
track was torn up for a distance of 100
feet by the derailed train. and cannot be
used for freight traffic until tomorrow
morning. a brakeman who was stand
inc. on the car whose axle broke was
probably saved from serious injury by
jumping. The wrecking crew was in
charge of Foreman Jeary of New Ha-
ven. Another gang came up from
Stamford.
