KING JACK OF 'ERIN."

There came to this shore proud hero of Erin The gems whose dress shirt blazin with hope But when he was leaving, exieS were swearin' And searchn' around for 8 tree and 8 rope. An, sad were the hearts of the brothers McCSOvern To see their bOuld hero go sailn' away! It cost them full many glitterin sovereign
 To learn that their idols crubeens were of clay. And fondly we hoped when he fled from this country Oscurtys shrOud would surround him for e'er. But, bejabers the Limeys charmed by his effotry, As King of all 'errin. lave crowned him, for fair!

Grant Not Interested in War.

Ulysses S. Grant, one of the strangest
characters in all history, made mess
of everything he undertook till near
middle-age, to become commander in
chief Of the Union Armies and Presi-
dent. And perhaps the oldest thing
in the odd story Of an odd nature was
his lifelong distaste for the military
life in which his great reputation was
made. He always disclaimed the call
ing of warrior, and when visiting
Europe after the war he told the aston
ished Bismarck that he took no in
