livan (Suleiman Pasha), is the son of farmer, John Sullivan, who lived Dripsey Paper Mills and Cork, but better known as “ Karrica Drud. dad,” on the River Lee. He was ejected for non-payment of rent in 1845. The family then went to Bantry, to settle on a piece of ground obtained from the relations of the old man’s wife, the M’Swinies and the M’Carthies of Bantry; to them while the family were coh- nected by marriage. .

The Sullivans did not make a good thing of the land at Bantry, and bordering on the fam- ine of 1847, the Bantry little property was sold for a nominal sum, the whole family, con sisting of two sons and a daughter, going to Cork city. ,

Joun, RvELEEN, ILney.

John was equipped by the old mgn for the colonies in the beginning of 1848, Patrick was inteaded for the Church in the flowery days of the family, and while in his youth’ Patrick, the present Turkish Pasha, was intended for the priesthood, but his wild inclinations quite unsuited him for that office. He is said to have been a remarkably smart boy at school, excelling all his fellows, at geography and Latin especially. Heis said to write Latin prose and verse with the greatest ease. This ‘is not a wonder, as the Cork and Kerry people, to the surprise of English visitors, can do this easily, even those of very menial origin. The daughter Eveleen, a tall, handsome, young woman, remarkable for her long neck and jet black hair, ‘‘Lleen Day,” went to America to East Troy, to the Conways, acquaintances of the old man. Patrick, the Turkish Pasha, was attorney's clerk in Cork to Mr. O’Connell. Patric Sullivan, clerk to Mr. O'Callaghan, belongs to another family, and is not in any way connected with the Pasha. Patrick the Pasha remained for a year and nine months with Mr. O'Connell, during which time his father died, probably broken-hearted at the loss of his property and deserted by his chil dren. Patrick is said not to have forgotten his very pious mother, whom he intensely loved.

When his sister embarked at Cork for East Troy, Canada, he was not apparently moved but when he returned home he was noticed while solacing his mother to burst out in emotional tears for his sister. He left off his tevorite game of ‘‘Knok,” a Cork game, and Racquets, and his aged mother would say to him, ‘‘What is the matter, Paddy?” ‘‘Noth- ing, mother, I can’t live in Cork.” In 1849 he is found in London. He applied at the Tablet office for employment to Mr. Heather or Mr, Heathcote, the manager of the paper at the time. He was not employed at Solo- mons the Jews at the Minories. He has been employed inthe Borough side of London by Ingram and Ruston, the office of which did not suit his tastes. He wes known to send home remittances to his mother every two and three months from London, and to have writ- ten articles and done the work of copyist for several daily papers and periodicals. ‘* Union Bank, Ireland, bate paid their remittances.”

He embarked for Constantinople in the ship Show, under Captain D’Vere, a Belgian. but 2 naturalized Turk, who had friends in Constan tinople and Scutari, he paid a second-class pas sage, was generally useful on board of ship, made great fun with the few words of Persian he krew and the smattering of French. Im. inediately after landing he enlisted at Constan- tinople. He applied and was several times re fused by his commanding officer to be per- mitted to enter in tho Military College. With- ort means to defray expenses, whether the friends of D’Vere stood to him or not is not clear, but he got money somehow, and en- tered the College as a military cadet. In his application to his commandiiig officer he said i will make myself generally useful and in- struct those who want to learn English and Latin as far as I know if you will kindly re- commend my entrance. He was commissioned in 1854. He has sent mon:y to his mother through the Union Bank up to 1857. He came out of college with distinguished honor, and is mentioned in the college by ‘‘zaras” as a very promising Turk. Up to then he wasa Christian, whatever he may be now. Patrick Sullivan, alias Suleiman Pasha, is known to be aman about 5 feet 9 inches, jet black hair, large grey eyes, broad shouldered, heavy eye- brows and eyelashes, with a piercing fierce look.

The Pasha had relations in Newmarket or Greentield, near Kanturk, County Cork, and he is believed to have attended the National School there under Mr. Crook during the Rev. F. Regan and Dr. O’Regan’s time. He was an excellent reader and geographer while a very young little fellow. He got praise for his de- rivations from Latin and Greek roots to Eng- lish while at Kanturk N. School.

This is no idle talk, but from reliable proof for which I beg to enclose my card.

Two sable sons of Hamat Austin, Texas, having quarreled recently, proceeded to fight = duel. They hired hacks, and with their friends and two shot guns rode about two miles from town, where the ‘‘duel’ was fought according to the rules of the ‘‘code.” At the word ‘‘Fire !” two reports were heard and one hegro dropped. When picked up and ex- amined it was found he had not been struck. Upon further investigation the fact was dle- veloped that the guns had only been loaded with powder. Both parties expressed them- selves as satisfied, shook hands across the bloody “sarcasm,” tnd returned to town to boast of their courage.

Drunkness. | An old, but by no means, il-grounded re. proach as to the comparative drunkennéss of Haglan land Scotland may be said to have Te- ceived @ fresh illustration from the feativities of the Caristmas just passed. The southern and the richer division of Great Britain hag

imebriation—the realm *‘ ayont the Tweed” must still be allowed to carry off the palm from all competitors. Take, for example, a littleitem of intelligence transmitted from Dundee. The Police Commissioners of that thriving borough have, on the application of the Superintendent, ordered the immediate construction of five doubled-spring wheelbar- rows, one for each station, to convey drunk and incapable persons to the police office du- ring the approaching holidays.” Much thought is indicated by this provident arrangement, aad also a keen perception of the proprieties, the drunk and incapable on New Year’s Day in Dundee are not stray eccentricities who take a drop too much and steal home as silently and steadily as they may, but are really almost as numerous as the woundedin 4 general engage- ment ; they succumb in ranks and platoons and need a special ampulance corps to trundle them off tothe rear. It isa judicious arrangement for the police, who canuot colar, or “ run in” so many applicafits for their care. and it isa most appropriate distinction for the in- ebriates themselves. It may be possible to dispute the fact of a man ‘whois able to walk at all being ‘‘ incapable,” but there is no room left for question when he has to be wheeled by hand like a sack of potatoes. The **car-borne,” or rather barrow-borne, toper will become a marked man, and the magistrate, in hearing the charge, may dispense with a good deal of evidence hitherto deemed needful, No such improvements, we are glad to think, are wanted yet in London. The charges heard at the various police-courts on Wednes- day seem to have been even less numerous and aggravated than usual, and not- much of the drunkenness had reached the worst stage. A few intoxicated working-men made fools of themselves by picking quarrels with associates in public-houses, and several drivers, chiefly cabmen, were charged with being unfit for duty and careering along the streets in a way to endanger human life; but there were no very heinous assaults, and the sobered drunk. ards seemed rather asliamed of themselves. In Scotland the drunkard seems to feel no shame ; he has “‘just a wee drop in his e’e,” and fancies himself another Tam O'Shanter, ‘‘o’er all the ills o’ life victorious,” and deserv- ing to be enshrined in immortal verse. Per- haps the degradation of the wheelbarrow may do away, with some of these notions, by makin the sot look ridiculous as well as brutish. Mr. Pickwick in the village pound sound asleep, after too much. punch, made capital sport for the small boys ; but that estimable gentleman would not have looked half so grotesque if he had not been sitting in a wheelbarrow. So there is much to be said for the Dundee notion. There are places, like Liverpool, where the magistrates are at their wits’ end for means to check excesses and shame the drunkards into a gleam of better morals. Let them try the wheelbarrow. : vln-ncesipniilelttlti a ibaaaT sae

An exciting incident happened in a recent rcview of Austrian cavalry by the Emperor and Empress. About 30,000 cavalry were in line and charging down in a mad gallop to sal- ute the sovereigns, when a little four-year-old child, escaping from her mother, ran directly in front of the rushing horses, ‘The Emperor screamed, and everybody expected to witness the instant death of the child, when a trooper in the front rank bent forward from his saddle, seized the child without slackening speed, and placed her at his saddle-bow. The crowd cheered the gallant deed lustily, and the Em- peror, taking from his neck the cross of the order of Marie Therese. hung it upoa that of the soldier.

EXTRAORDINARY SPEECH BY A GERMAN Consvui.—The New York V'imes’ Philadelphia special says that at the recent annual dinner of the German Society, the Consul of the German Empire, Charles Meyer, in a speech, ridiculed and derided tie Government of the United States, and said the only perfect government was the German, ‘The imperialists toasted the health and success of the German Em- peror, and confusion to the United States, Some members left ina body, and agreed the State Department should be notitied of the scandalous proceedings.

There are now twelve of these inter- esting animals in the colony, but it is extreme. ly ditticult to catch sight of them owing to their great shyeness.
