A Patbiot in Tbouble.—The" San Francisco News Letter thus alludes to a patriotic celebrity :—" Some ago .we paid our respects to O'DonjvarilJJossa in this column, much to the disgust of bis admirers here. The Town Qrier po/ked unlimited fun nt the absurdity of receiving that windy fra«d with" a regiment of, militia, to say nothing of the. board of supervisors, though that body'taberration. of intellect hare ceased to cause, any surprise. We called down Milesian thunder, on-Our head by intimating, that the O'Donoyan was one of those loud and ready demagogues that, fattened on the hard-earned pennies of Biddy and Mick, •and. that there, would never be any invasion of England so leng as theVSkir-; mishing Fund', permitted him to skirmish^ around the country, and live at five^" dollarhotels—to revel, as it were, on the oppressed but succulent., mutton-chop, and to drink the ■ downtrodden but inspiring Heidseick. . Well, to-day the_ wires tell us that this pattern .patriot is a defaulter, the ' Skirmishing, Fund' has gone skirmishing for .good. Now wail and tear the hair on your simple head, oh! Biddy, and get ready for the noxt patriotic sneak thief." . ' i ' ' Men who always go to the Wail.— Faperhangers.
