A correspondent sends us an amusing instance, for the truth of winch . he vouches, "it was the time of the plan of campaign," he writes, "and the English Tory pa pers were doing their ljcst to prove that Ireland was in condition that wouid make an armed insurrection at any moment not ut all surpris ing. One of the leading London papers sent over its picked corre- i spomlent, a man with a splendid ignorance of everything Irish and a splendid willingness to believe any thing of a sensational nature he could hear. Among the places he visited was a little town in Ulster that was about as quiet a spot as ho could have singled out nnvwhere between the north pole and the Hock of Gibraltar. lie had the re porter of the local weekly paper into the hotel with him, and over the whisky he ret himself to ex tract from that rather lous person the 'truth land.' unscrupu- j about Ire-1 ! cording to the best available authort Is it true,' he asked, lowering ties the name Miller ranks third. his voice for a question of so grave I nn import, 'that the peasants are heir." drilled evcrv ni-ht in the use! of arms?' The local man could I have burst out hushing, but he 1 t t a. ' contented himse with a quiet twinkle and admitted solemnly that; the state of the country was eret tincr desperate. The truth seeker then said he was determined to get at the bottom of things and won dered if there was any possibility of his being a witness of one of these midnight drillings. The lo cal man after pondering for a mo ment thought it might be man aged, though it would involve Borne danger, but ho was sure the other didn't mind that. "It WDs pouring weather the next night, and the great corre spondent was taken away from the lire in the hotel and given a walk of a mile or bo along a dark, mud dy, deep rutted road. Then he had to scramble through a sraD in a ledge and over a wall into a field and walk on tiptoe toward the aide of the field, llcre he had to tret down into the ditch and move along on his hands and knees through the nettles and brambles that he "dared not even curse for fear the 'rebels' would hear him At the end of the 1 field, however, drenched, dirtied, stung, pricked, he had his exceed ing great reward. Kneeling in sev eral inches of water, with his chest pressed against a hank of wet earth, he was able to peen throuch a hole at the bottom of the hedge at certain dim figures in the next field. They were being walked up and down, and now and then the word 'Halt !' or some other word of command was sternly spoken in an undertone and rigorously obeyed. "It was too dark to see very clearly, but it was clear the conspir ators were armed with something long, either pikes or rifles, which they raised into the air every now and then. The local man admitted that this was only one of many fields where such things were night ly practiced. The visitor crawled back to his bed, sore and sneezing, but happy, and probably he tells his friends to the present day of how he saw Irish rebels at their wicked midnight work. Of course the 'conspirators' were only a few of the boys of the place, whom the lo cal correspondent had put up to the joke, and the rifles and pikes' were nothing worse than a few sim ple sticks cut from a hedge." London Mail. Lost and Wanted. The polite shopwalker obsequious ly approached the square jawed, aus- icre looKing woman wno stood De fore the "lost and found" counter at the special sale. "Madam, have you lost any thing?" he politely inquired. "Yes, sir," she replied. "I've lost a hundred and fourteen pounds of husband, in a light brown suit, with black bowler, small tuft of hair on its chin, two scars on its temple and a friphtenod look. I lost it in a crush at the fancy goods counter, buEgVleS it on account of a bundle it's car - rving under its arm. I thought per - haps you could find it easier than 1 can. Using the Up, x tunity.

"If you want to hear some guessing wide of the mark ask some one what bo would think might be the third most common name In New York city." says the New York Sun.
