Against Honduras.
The revolution of Gen. Jose Maria Val
ladares against the government OF Hon
duras is fast dying OF its own weight.
The State Department received word
yesterday from Minister McCreery, who
is at Tegucigalpa. that on November Il
80 more OF Valladares' troops deserted
Ma. at Amapala, leaving him but a scant
100, hardly enough to carry on a success
ful revolution even IN Central America.
According TO the report from Mr.. Nc
Creery, Nalladares is In such straits that
he requested Commander Anderson. of
the u. S. S. Yorktown. TO protect him,
although he is commandant of the port
OF Amapala.
Valladares has wired 10 President Da-
villa, of Honduras. that he is willing to
deliver the port 10 the government He
had declined 10 resign al the order OF
Davila recently and started little revo-
luton.
Word was received here from Com
mander Anderson that Valladares has
been relieved OF his post. Capt. Ander-
son in consequence has withdrawn the
naval forces landed several days ago to
protect ValladaTes himself

mercial transactions of the city. Here
orators and statesmen held forth to
the frenzied throngs that often filed
the vast area. The sculptured ruins
afford magnificent panorama Of
present desolation and the faded glory
Of former grandeur.
At the very edge of the Forum is
the Mamertine Prison, a most noted
relic of ancient Rome. 1t Is one of
the earliest structures Of the city,
being built many years before the

imminens foro." 1t was used as q
dungeon for distinguished prisoners,
Its only opening or ingress being a
circular aperture in the top of the
arched roof through which the victims
were lowered. 1t is wildly described
by Sallust when treating Of the "con-
spirators" many of whom were hero
starved to death. The great Cartha-
genan general, Jugurtha, who was let
down into this dungeon, killed himself
by striking his head against the walls.
AS there was no way of escape, no
water or food for the prisoners, they
preferred a speedy death to prolonged
torture. 1t was formerly called til q
Tullianum, and tradition has 1t that
IS. Peter and Paul were imprisoned
here just previous to their martyrdom.
1t consists Of two stories, the top Of
the upper ono being now on level
! with the street, the result of the
gradual accumulation of ages Tho
lower story, where the prisoners were
kept, is reached by modern stairs and
a rude doorway of latter day con-
struction now gives access to this

history. A little altar stands against

up beside 1t which tradition says was
called into existence by the prayers Of
st. Peter during his imprisonment.
We each took drink from it in honor
of the occasion. AS we were leaving
the prison we were surrounded by. q
noisy troupe of ragged juvenile mer-
chants who anxiously endeavored to
sell us their wares, consisting of pic
lures of the Mamertine and doubtful
souvenirs, also alleged photos and
snapshots Of some Of the famous
prisoners. Their enterprise and per-
sistency would do credit to the noisy

Story of Father o'FIynn.

Alfred Percival Graves tells in q
little book just published the story OF
the origin of his famous song, Father
O'Flynn." The sprightly air to which
his charming words are welded, and
which has long enjoyed wide POPULAR
ity in this country, is stated to be the
Kerry version of "The Top of Cork
Road" Mr.. Graves first heard it play
Munster fiddler named James Buckley,
and the great delight of his early boy
hood was to dance a Jig to its accom-
paniment. The air fingered in his
thoughts with many recollections of
his Munster home. and 1t was when
he met an Irish priest who was of the
old school and who possessed the cu-
mulative humanities of the old stock
that he penned his rollicking eulogy
and 'twned it with that air which put
his feet in rhythmic movement in the
days Of his youth. In the spring of
1875, Mr.. Graves first conceived the
idea of writing "Father O'Flynn." The
words came into his head as he walked
to the home office from Eastbourne ter-i
race. On reaching his desk he wrote
down the verses and sent them to The
Spectator, by which 1t was first print.
ed. 1t was not published until 1882.
when it appeared in its authors weflsi
known collection, "songs of Old Tres
land" The success thereafter was as

Toward the close of recent law
suit in Massachusetts, the wife of an
eminent Harvard professor arose and
with a flaming face timidly addressed
the court.
"Your honor" said she, III had
told you had made an error in my
testimony, would II vitiate all l have
said?"
Instantly the lawyers for each side
stirred themselves in excitement. while
his honor gravely regarded her.
"well, madam" said the court, after
a pause, ''that depends entirely on the
nature of your error. What was it,
please?"
"Why, you sec," answered the lady,
more and more red and embarrassed,

smoking when woman came, and sit

"Sir, If you were gentleman yo,

Pretty soon the woman burst oui
again.

"Well, num-" returned the Irishman
as he pulled away at his pipe, If yol
