Carey, it turns out, was bound for i-ort Elizabeth, Africa. He had regained a good deal of hie former self-possesuon and spirit, and was pretty well convinced that h» identity and destination were unknown. He was apss- senger on the Melrose Castle, owned by Don­ ald Currie There ia no reason to suppose that any one ab ard when the ship left Lon­ don knew anything about Carey. When the vessel was made fast to the dock at Port Elizabeth, in a rather jubilant manner the informer supervised the landing of his baggage. He then boarded the gang-plank and walked down to the wharf. The mo­ ment he stepped upon the wharf a man stepped up to him, placed a pistol close to his breast, over his heart, ana fired. Carey staggered and fell, but before he lost his footing his assailant fired another ball into his btaln. The assassin was for a moment supposed to be a madman, but when he flourished his weapon and cried out, "That ia Jamet Carey, his soul," the officers of the Melrose Castle at once realized the situation, over- £owered the speaker and placed him i chains. The murderer was soon identi­ fied aa a stranger who had boarded the Mel­ rose Castle at Cape Town, and booked him­ self for Natal No one knew his businesa and on board fee Melrose Castle he had shown no interest in the man he killed. He loitered about until Carey went ashore, and then walked after him and shot him dead upon the dock. Ihe priscnor, O'Donne'l, refures to make any statement Investigation here shows that a man answering O'Donnell'e descrip­ tion booked from London to Cape Town aboard the ship' Kintauns Castle, another vessel of the Donald Currie Line which left London reveral days before the Melrose Castle did. The Kinfauns Castle wss adver­ tised to make a connection at Cape Town with the Melrose Castle for tyrtaL it puzzles the officials how O'Donnell ever learned that Carey was to leave for Cape Town by the Melrose Castle. He seems to have teen to completely informed and so absolutely determined that he chose to go ahead and wait at Cape Town rather than risk the govern­ ment s keen inspection of the persons who bearded the Melrose Castle at London. The ministry appear to be somewhat dased at the' completeness of the information nos> jessed by the Invincibles, of whloh this assassination furnishes complete proof. Carey was traveling under the name of Power. His family were with him. Oarey embarked at Dartmouth. From Madeira ho wrote a letter t'o the authorities, in which he described the voysge, andsald ho had ahsrod in conversation in which Invincibles snd the miscreant Carey were especially denounced. He said he.lntended to forget Ireland ever existed. Bzeltemmt in Itatolln. A Dublin dispatch cays: "The city is In a fnrore over the news trom Cape Town, and the people, who fill the Btreets, are madly- exultant, shouting and cheering and oaua> ing the police much troub'a The officials both hero and at London seem stupefied with surprise at the extent of Information possessed by the Invincibles, which was much greater than that poesesEed by the heads of departments here. They are amazed that anybody should have known Carey's whereabouts, and they were much mere inclined to believe he bad gone to Canada or America than to Africa." Carey's Record. James Carey, who was about 60 years of aget was a member of the Dublin Municipal­ ity and a man <St wealth and prominence. He was a master-builder and did a large business In that line, basides having an in­ terest in the largest dry-goods house in Dub­ lin. He bore the character of being a chrewd, cautious, reticent man of temperate habits, though passionate when angered Carey gaye his testimony in the preliminary hearing in the Phoenix Park murder cases at Dublin on Feh. 17. Mis first appearance created a profound sen^ati( n. He depoced that he Joined the Fenian Brotherhood in He deposed tha he wa^always Treas­ urer of the Fen an Brotherhood. The names of four persons had been submitted to the organization in London as capable of need­ ing the organisation in Dublin. Among those names was his own. W alsh had sworn him in, each holding a knife in his hands. The oath bound Carey to obey all orders transmitted to him by the Irish Invincibles under tbe penalty of death. A few days afterward Walsh, McCaffrey and James Mul- lett told him that they were to torm a Board of Directors of a new organization of In­ vincibles in Dublin, who were not to exceed 2E0 members for the whole kingdom He then proceeded to give the details of the whole conspiracy which resulted in the murders, and, through his testimony prin­ cipally, five men were hanged Carey was a member of the Dublin Municipality and ft man of means and prominenoei WESTERN NOTES. is entitled to the forestry prise.

A short time before the civil war broke out, Judge Gridley, a quaint- speaking man, was holding court in' Western New York. One day a divorce suit was being tried, and it was alleged that the husband had abandoned and deserted his wife. The counsel for the injured woman, while indulging in Bun- dry feats of rhetoric, turned from the jury, and, addressing the Court, said: "What would your Honor do, I would like to know, if a portion of the States of this glorious Union should 'shoot madly from their spheres,' and attempt the destruction of the nation ?" "What would 'I dew?" asked the auaint Judge, "Why, I'd try to shute tiem back." It was with great difficulty that tha rhetorical counsel resumed his addcesft to the jury. ^ An Example of Boston Thrlfk A New York jeweler, a native of ft Maine village, was one day stopped in the street by a tired and panting indi­ vidual, whom he soon recognized as a former schoolmate.
