People write to. me that I showd bo made dictator of Ireland; that wouU be worth living for. .laone year it would be the quietest country of Europe, and one of the happiest alio. Bat mo- ' tarians iv politics would crucify me for saving their lives and properties, for •ueh is bigotry. Were I dictator, the whole of the bishops and deaoons, as: by law established, should go to New Zealand, there to eat or be eaten by the cannibals. The poor tenant should be secured, Kennedy's system of agriculture enforced, and all uncultivated land tared. Noisy editors of newspapers should hang, and their property be divided amongst their relatives, who should also have places to make them bless justice in execution. I would bestow grape on the- first mob, and hang the leaders, especially if they were Catholic priests, and I would mace, the country keep the families of the slain in great luxury. These, and a few more steps of the kind, would make Faddy at tame as a: house oat. All Poor Lair Commissioners should work on the roads, and all clearers of land (evictors) should be hanged without benefit of olergy.— Sir C. Napier. „ , , Burrows, of Nelson, was kicked by a horse the other day. The Mail in a jumble of grammar, points out that it waa a wise step, because hp had insured his \ life? A step' out of (he bone's way would bar* btea wiier.—Chroniele.
