ffs the same old story after election The successful candidates are all as happy as a thousand clans in deep water, while the other fellows are as unhappy as hundreds of poor deluded morals who are compelled to drin1 poor, cheap, trashy tea and coffee be- cause the person buying the drinks for the family will not call at our store and get the good, nice tasting kind for the same price they pay for the trash. As we have often said, you can never tell how a man is going to vote; ne may have something up his sleeve for the very one for whom you think he is going to vote, and he would be very queer piece of humanity if he didn't take sweet revenge when he had the opportunity. He may be right and he may be wrong. Be that as it may. the successful candidate certainly had more voters silently say, "We prefer you folks for the next two years" Say. speaking about votes, why .n thunder is it more people do not vote ''N0 hcense?" If we had more votes OF that side of the fence see how much more happiness would prevail, because if no license carried the day we think there would be more tea and coffee drank, and that would mean more joy and good cheer all over the city Say, don't forget we sell beautiful, nice tasr-ng butter for p cents per pound at

In q paper published in the south Of
France is found an amusing account Of
the early life and exploits of Colonel
Bryan. The story, it appears, was
written by the Paris correspondent Of
the provincial paper and is based, so
the writer AYERS, on information fur
nished by intimate friends Of the can
didate who had been prominent at the
French capital during the exposition.
The western wag who filled the

himself as he read in cold print the

Last Moments of o'Neill.

The Dublin Independent gives the
following dying words of Owen Roe
O'Ncill who was marching to meet
Cromwell when he was poisoned at
tho banquet board:
"We will free our country" raved
the dying soldier, Stree her from
Lough Swilly to the strand Of Kinsalc
then we will-we will sweep the
Turk forth from Christian Europe. Oh
Ireland, my beloved-my life-my-
what means that awful wall? 1t comes
from beneath the narrow window, ris-
ing and falling in woeful cadence. The
sob Of dying soul-a voice from n
land of dismal shadows. How it rises
and swells, dies away, comes again
and fills the chamber with it's sorrow
and warning. Gentlemen, would that
you would raise me up. My hour is
come. "Tis the banshee. The spirit
that has ever keancd when the soul Of
a chief Of my house may be unloosed.
Farewell. Tell-my-wife-"
He sank back the lips rigid, the face
drawn. Once more the wall, the sao.
awful death song from the pagan spirit
land. Then it died away. With the
last strength Of the dying, Owen Roe
suddenly raised himself, leaned upon
one trembling arm, and cried out in n
voice firm and without CULVER: "Mark
you, gentlemen, that die in the faith
Of Christ and in the love Of Irelandw
Then the voice once more sang it's
kean. Owen bent forward, wrapt in
wonderment. Then the eyes flashed,
as In the days Of Arras, and raising
aloft his clenched hand, cried out in
the same full voice as ran along the
lines at ,Benburb: "Forward! The
word is Sancta Maria, and in the name
Of God strike a blow for the old land"
Then he fell back and died.

A lady vocalist, who was engaged for
ballad concert at town hall, having
had the misfortune to contract rather
severe cold, upon her appearance upon
the platform felt it incumbent upon her
to inform the audience of the lamenta-
bic fact, and to crave their kind indul-
gence should she break down in consc-
quence. "And now," said the fair suf-
ferer, in conclusion, 81 will endeavor to
sing you that old yet favorite ballad,
I'll Hang My Harp on a Willow
Tree" After the pianist had struck a
few preliminary notes the singer began
thus: "I'll hang my harp on willow
tree-c-e-e-c-hum! hum! Too high! On
a willow trce-c-c-c-e-hum. Still too
high! Willow tree-e-e-e-e-" At this
juncture man at the back of the hall
stood up and, addressing the singer,
said, in tones Of sympathy: "say, miss,

On Jan. 20, 1850, Cromwell again
took the field. Crossing the Blackwa-
ter at Mallow, he approached the con-
fines Of Limerick, and then entering
Tipperary marched by Clogheen and
Rochestown to Fethard. From the lat
ter place he marched to Callan, county
Kilkenny, which, after a brave resist
ance, surrendered. Cromwell, in speak
ing of this engagement, says: II sent
him positive conditions-that the SOL
diers should have their lives. The next
day the colonel, major and the rest Of
the commissioned officers were shot to
death. We also took Popish priest,
who was chaplain to the Catholics in
this regiment, who was hanged"
On March % Cromwell appeared be-
fore Kilkenny. For six days the siege
lasted, and at length the Irish garrison,
being reduced from 1900 to 400 by a
frightful pestilence which ragged in the
city, were compelled to surrender. In
this city was one of the finest Catholic
churches in Ireland-St. Charles. 1t
was utterly defaced and ruined, the
roof broken down and the beautiful
windows, for which Rinuccini, the
Pope's legate, shortly before his return
to Italy had offered f1,OOO, were
smashed to atoms. Early in May
Cromwell appeared before Clonmel.
A letter Quoted by Carlyle) from one
of Cromwelrs lieutenants, dated May
10, 1850, gives the following account
Of the capture Of the town: Yesterday
we stormed Clonmel. We made a
breach in their works, where after a
hot fight we gave back awhile, but
presently charged up to the same
ground again. But the enemy had
made themselves exceedingly strong by
double works and traverse, which were
worse to enter than the breach. The
enemy defended themselves against US
that day until toward evening.
cat night the enemy drew out on
the other side and marched away un-
discovered to us, and the inhabitants
of Clonmel sent out for parley. Aft
er signing of the conditions we discov-
cred the enemy to be gone, and very
early this morning pursued them and
fell upon them and killed 200" An
other letter says that they found in
Clonmel the stoutest enemy this army
ever met in Ireland. There was never
so hot storm of so long continuance
and so gallantly defended, either in
Ireland or England"
Cromwell at this siege lost $500 of
his army. While Cromwell was at
Clonmel he received word that the
English parliament desired him at
home, and on the Goth day OF May,
1850, after nine months of "civilized"
warfare in Ireland, he set sail and ar
rived in London.
