An Irish Cabin Paved With Gold.
Tub " Iris!) Ecclesiastical Gazette " ot Dec. 31.«b contains the following: — "A few weeks ago the writer was in a Dank office in a country town in the South of Ireland, when a very common - looking, roughlydressied man passed out after a conference with the manager. The latter said : — ' Did yon see that man ? Well, some time ago there was a run on the Bank of Ireland here, and he withdrew (receiving it in srold) £700 which he had there on deposit. That sum, he informs me. he still has at home, ' under the kitchen flure. ' He has also more than £400 on deposit here with us.' la ib not hard to kno\r ' what is truth ' in Ire land ? Hero you have the floor of an Irish cabin literally paved with gold at a time when the payment of rent is impossible. It may be said that this is an exceptional case, bub we believe such caseß are nob at all so rare as some suppose. "
