 "Dionisius mayic, you did not hear the news, them Dionisius-"N No then Mihel magrad' zeal, l did not" Cad ata orth? (What is the matter with you?D.
 Mihel-Why then Dionisius mavic it is reported the ladies of St Pat rick's parish are going to have whisht party. "A whisht party! What does that mean?" In Irish we say "Eist do beul." l. c. Hold your your tongue or be silent or whisht; now I suppose a whisht party means a party that is going to be silent, or to hold their tongues, or to be dumb; and | do not know what pleasure there will be in a silent party, party where they do not speak, party that is dumb"
 Dionisius-"A "Arrah then, Mihel you are certainly an amadan. Duigin- tn Gaedilge? (Do you understand Gaelic.D An amadan is the male for an oonsha, an oonsha is the Gaelic for a female amadan, which in plain, unvarnished English means simple ton or half fool; it is not whisht party that the ladies of St Patrick's parish God bless them for they are the real ladiesD are getting up. but whist party, i. c. a party where they play certain number of games of cards during the evening to pass away the time and for pleasure. The best play CTS get prizes. believe there is alsc consolation prize given. The la dies of St Patrick's parish are noted for the good prizes they distribute. and for the careful and provident attention they pay to their guests. am hoping some day, Mihel, to draw one of themselves as my prize. it is then. and not till then l will be satis- fled. and it is not the consolation prize or the booby prize l wish to draw, either"
 Mihel-" Now Dionisius mavic. you are proving yourself to be the anna dan or male Oonsha or simpletOn. be- cause there is no girl in St Patrick's parish who would be considered consolation prize or q booby prize. they are all A No l. If this statement gets out on you. Dionisius. the la- dies of St Patrick's parish, will not have such great grad for you in the future as in the past"
 Dionis,us Hould your whisht Mihel. and do not he calling a whist party a whisht party: and on Mon day and Tuesday nights bring all your friends to the whist party. and perhaps they with you may gain prize. and you may rest assured if will not be a consolation prize you will gain if you play sell I am hoping myself that on Monday and Tuesday evenings the twentieth and twenty-first of April. ! will be able to ingratiate myself into the guod graces of one of the young ladies. .a, that in the future ] may win her for my prize"

A poor house sreeter a fairly good
company at the Opera House last
night, the play being Why Girls
Leave Home, and those who attend
ed seemed to have enjoyed the even

the history OF one of the most brutal
crimes in the history of the Southern
States and was portrayed last evening
with the exception OF the fatalities,
which were eliminated, by the author
In the play Of last evening everything
turns out as 1t should and they all live
happily ever afterward
In the troupe were a couple OF good
actors, the leading man and lady
The comedian was slightly TO the bad

strike them with considerable aston
ishment. Looking at it from the old
world standpoint would have been
considered impossible that there
should be a complete break down in
our banking system if the refusal to
pay cash is to be considered a break
down-and the people adapt them
selves to the change with such con-
siderate and indulgent acQuiescence.
After the event is over, or practically

bank demurred, and asked for particu

question as to what hotel he was stop

would be sufficient. On hearing the
route by which he was to travel HON,
he was told by the cashier that th'
White Star Company would take the
banks checks. Pressing still furthe
for cash to do the necessary shopping
his attention was drawn to the fac
that this and that shop would take
the banks check.
