A DROVE OF BULLS. n . , " th 0Err,'e, s'' Quaint Lattar. The fo!!o in- was written br the eccentric :Sir li..vle Hwhe. a mem- lcr of the last Irish parliament. The lt-ttt-r was adlnMsl to a friend in Loudon, and it is old enough to be new to nine -ut f ten raiers: "My I'ar Sir Having now a little peaif and quiff n, I Mt down to inform yu of the dreadful busile and cunfiiM-m we are all in from thoti bloodthirsty reluls, i:it of whom are, thank ;!, kilW and dispersi-d.

While I write this I hold a sword in each hand and a pistol in the oilier. "I eoneluded from the beginning that this would be the end of it, and I see I was right, for it is not half orer yet. At present there are such goings on that everything is at a standstill. I should have answer ed your letter a fortnight ago, but I did not receive it until this morn ing. Indeed, scarce a mail arrives without ltein-; r.ibld. The b;ig had been left behind for f-ar of "acci dent, and by good link th"re was nobody in it but two outside p:is senger. who had nothing for t!i thieves to take. Last Tuesday no tice wa given that a gang of rebels was advancing here, under the French standard, but they had no colors nor any drams except bag pipes. "Immediately every man in the place, including men, women and children, ran out to uieot them. We soon found our force much too lit tle. Wo were to near to think of retreating. Death was iu every face, but at it we went and lieg;ui to be alive again. Fortunately the rdnds had no guns, but pistols and pikes, and as we had plenty of muskets and ammunition wo put them ull to the sword. Nut a soul escaped, ex cept some that wro drowned in the adjacent bogs, and in a very short time nothing was heard but silence. Their uni forms were all d liferent colors, but mostly green. Alt r the action we vent to rummage a f rt of earn p which they had left behind them. All we found were a few pikes without heads, a parcel of empty littles of water and a bun dle of French ciinimi.-.-jnn.s tilled with Irish names. Troops are sta tioned ell iiroiii-d the country, which exactly squares xiiih my ideas. I have only lieu- to add that 1 inn in a gre;it harry. "P.

An excursion train started one Saturday for the scene of an im portant football game. This train, as is sometimes the case with excursions, went very slowly and hud numerous stoppages. Alter a time the excursionists reached a station called March and were brought to a stand there. Whilu they were waiting mi ollieiiil was strutting up and down the pUtform calling out: ".March! March !" A passenger who was a bit of a wag put his head out and said to the ollici.il: "What is it, old chap?" "March," said the otl'icial.
