AN IRISH CONSFIRACY.
How an Ulster Reporter Duped a Lon
don Correspondent.
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

lous person the 'truth

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."
