IRELAND'S LORD LIEUTENANT.

Lord Cadogan, we are afraid,
will get wigging when he returns
to Dublin Castle and the Viceregal
Lodge. He was altogether too can
did in Belfast, says a writer in de-
scribing his visit to that city. Not
only did he beard the Orange lion
in his den, but he had a sly thrust
at the Castle itself. II like to speak
honestly" said he, when l can. /"
We had had, we confess, a dim sus-
picion that the Castle was a place
where truth was kept at arm s
length and common honesty dis
couraged, but until Lord Cadogan
told us we had not realized how in
discriminatory and iinpartially was
its embargo laid. Now we begin
at last to see how even a salary of
500, 900 year and the dignity of
the Queens representative are but
a poor recompense for compulsory
abstinence from freedom of speech
and indulgence in the luxury of
truth-telling. When even a Lord
Lieutenant must go over hundred
miles away from the seat and CEN
ter of English power in Ireland be-
fore he can dare to say what he
thinks we can readily excuse any
one who prevaricates or equivocates
within the Castle sphere of in
fluence. " Some one has said that
if an angel were installed in power
on Cork Hill he would soon be cor
rupted. This was an extreme way
of putting it, but Lord Cadogan has
put the same idea in other words.
We congratulate him, while we
sympathize with him, and hope
that no harm will befall him when

A LITTLE VISITOR.

There's busy little fellow,
Who came to town last night,
When all the world was fast asleep,
The children's eye shut tight
can not tell you how he came,
For well the secrets hid,
But think upon a moonbeam bright,
Way down the earth he slid.
He brought the Misses Maple
Each lovely party gown;
1t was brilliant red and yellow,
With a dash or two of brown.
And he must have had Midas touch,
For if the truth is told
The birches all, from top to toe,
He dressed in cloth of gold.
Then he took glittering icicle
From underneath the caves,
And with it, on my window,
Drew such shining silver leaves,
Such fair and stately palaces,
Such towers and temples grand,
Their like I'm sure was never seen
Outside of Fairyland.
Who is this busy little man,
Whose coming brings us JOY?
For I'm very sure he's welcomed
By every girl and boy;
The little stars all saw him,
Though they will not tell soul:
But I've heard his calling card read
thus:
J. Frost, Esq, North Pole.
Helen Standish Perkins.

Mr.. Dillon at a banquet given to
him in Glasgow recently said he was
willing that a conference should be
held of any representative men, say
FIVE or ten, but to begin with five
nominated by Mr.. Redmond and
five by himself, and nobody to be
bound by the result of the said con-
ference; but let them meet and draw
up scheme by which their differ
ences would be adjusted. That
scheme would be submitted to the
leading Irishmen in the country at
a convention.
