He was surprised when the old woman, who is Mrs. Mary Coffey of County Kerry, told him that she was 104 years old. He asked her how she from the invasion of Ireland by the French under General Humbert. This occurred in 1798, and Mrs Coffey says she was then a girl of 7. She said she did not remember much about the inva- sion except that, like Wordsworth's lit- tle maid, she was 7. - When Peter asked her why she had | come to America, she said with a dry smile and a twinkling of her sharp, black eyes that she had come to find an- other husband.

The newspapers are prevented by ‘threats from publishing any pews €x- cept false news. That it is false is proved hy the statements of travelers corn 52 back from the interior towns, letters from country merchants and remarks dropped by officers of the army cowing back from the seat of war. All the bridges on the Tunas de Zaza railroad have been destroyed with druw mite by the {insargent) leader Rolofl. The work of construction on the Puerto Principe railroad, announced with snch a flourish of trumpets in the spring, has been stopped by the rebsls - The other public works projected ‘have remained on paper for lack of fands. . absotute - The troops in the interior part of the jsland are suffering unheard of hard- ships. They are famished, clotheless, shoeless and without medical attend | ance. The very officers confess the total demoralization of the army and pro nounce the difficulties insurmountable The departments of Santiago, Puerto Principe, Santa Clara aud Matanzas— that is to say, nearly all the island-—are being devastated. Everywhere small parties of rebels patrol the country with | perfect impunity, robbing and firing property. : In this port of Havana there is a stock | of sugar of 300,000 tons without buy- ers. The sugar estates have nu mousy to pay to their workingmen, who are driv- en by starvation to join the rebel bands. No life is safe in the country. The icy indifference in the cities i equaled only by the desclation spread- ing in the rest of the island. The only money im circulation is the $5,000,000 monthly pay of thearmy. of which some is remitted to officers’ fam- ilies in Spain. If the war should terminate suddenly, the whole country would be brought to a terrible state of paralysis, the effec’s of which wonld be appalling. The sugar planters are ruined com- pletely.
