st. Louis Letter.

The 18th of this month is the day
When all Ireland will march in grand array,
With green banners flying, and music grand,
To do honor to the hero OF their land.
Then hail to ST. Patrick, Erin's wonderful
knight,
Who put all the venomous serpents to flight,
Though long since has passed since he drove
them away,
None nave returned to this very day.
So let us join in the grand celebration
And pay our respects to the Irish nation,
And hope with them, that some other
there'll be,
Who'll win for them sweet liberty.
Col. Casey, of Shawnee Mound, Mo-.
paid So, 7O5 for s'Sweet Violets" H., a
fine short horn GOV six years old. The

the hitherto unheard of price at Oma-
ha, Neb. The Colonel's price was 50
over the bid of George Ward. How is
this for a starter in the new century!
