A sad and dramatic eviction took
plnce in County Wicklow, Ireland,
Wednesday. An old man named
Arthur Kauavagh, in feeble health,
who bad a cabin on the property of
Earl Fitawillium, had fallen behind
in his rent. A decree of ejectment
was obtained by the Earl at the last
Wicklow sessions. His gamekeeper
with two bailiffs, went to execute
the (leoroe Wednesday afternoon.
Thsy had to carry Kavanagh out
of the house, and as he was crossing
the threshold of ins cabin the poor
old man gave one gasp and died in
the gntnekeepor’n arms. His body
was laid by the roadside. Over it
for twenty for hours sat his only
mourner, a daughter. Kavanagh
was formerly in a good position,

A Merry Mourner.
The radicals of Clarinda, Page
County Iowa, had a jolification
meeting on Friday night, the 5th
uit. According to the Council Bluff*
Xonpatiel they had the biggest kind
of a time, with illuminations, and
fire-works, music and speechifying.
After several republican orators,
among them congressman elect Hep¬
burn, had given vent to their feel¬
ings with spread eagle speeches, in¬
cluding of course with the usual
abuse of democrats' the crowd called
loudly for Hon, B. Cake. Cake Is a
democrat, and the Nonjmrd says
that he looked too depressed to
speak ; but the crowd would not be
put off. so he mounted u box and
made the following unique speech :
Fellow Citizens: A man usually
attends his own funeral, but it is
not expected tout he should ta k a
great deal. [Laughter.] I knew
the funeral ceremonies could go on
without me so I concluded that 1
would bring in the body. [Laugh¬
ter.] But it takes grace to sustain
a man who helps to lurnish the
corpse for an occasion like this.
[Laughter,] Nobody hut a d< mo
crat could do it. [Applause,] It is
certain that no one save the demo¬
crats has had a chance to try it for
the last twenty years. [Shouts
Applause.] Disappointment is the
modern democrat’s birth-right;
mourning it is normal condition,
