FINNERTY'S JOKE,
l.l lhe I onilon Ileporl. Ilogu. speeeh.
One of the brightest aud bei>t of th( Pailiameutery reiiorlera of London, yeara ago, was IV'ter Fiuuerty, of tht Chronicle, who loved to jiloy practical jokes OS w-.'ll aa ho loved lo eat,
Oue day iu the reporters' gallery wheu tho proceedinga wero unusually dull, Morgan O Siillivnu, ono of hia osso'iates, felt so dro.vay ho could hardly keep hia eyes ujieu, .So he got Fiuuerty to ]iromiae to give him auy siiecches lhat might lie made, and tben fell nslcep in his chair. Ho awakened in nbout an hour greatly re¬ freshed and eager for ivork. Fiuncrty gravely iuformed him that .luringliis nap there had been nil important speech delivered by Mr. Wilberforce, a member of llie Housc, ou the virtues of the Irish p,,tnto, Morg,iu never pausing t,> think that thu subject hml a suggestion of the ludicrous, wonld not be pacilied ui'til the speecli hail been ,lictati'd to him by Fiuuerty.
The Bpeech, entirely Finuerty's con- cocliou, inn.Io Mr, Williorforco say; "Hal it been my lot to be bom and raised in Irelnnd, where my food would bave princip.slly consiated of thc pota¬ to—the most nutritious nn.l sniubrions root—instead of being tho poor, in¬ iirm, stuutcil creature you, Sir, and hon,irable geullcmen, now behold me, 1 should have beeu a tail, stoul, alhctic , mail aud able to carry nu enormous ' weight. I hold thnt root to be invalu¬ able; and the man ivho tlrat culliv.ited it in Ireland I regnrd as a benefactor of iUe lirstjjuugiiitiido to his country."
M.irgnu wus ao overjoyed nt this legislative tribute to tho excellence of his natiounl potato that ho willingl.v (iictuted the sjiewlito several ..therre- porters aud every iiojier of n.ite in Kuglau.l, Ireland and Scotland—ex¬ cept the Loudon Moruiug Ciironicle, iu the oflice of whioh Finueriy sat chuckling, had tha extraordinary re¬ port of Mr. Wilberforce's strange spiocli iu the Houao ou tho oxtraor- diuai-v virtues ot the Iriah potato.
Tho speech was read wilh amni^e- meut. .\t tho cluba an.l iu the cily everybo.ly ivas laughing at Mr. Wil- berforce'a speech—except Mr. Wilber¬ force. Ho thought it rather a cause for rage tbau merriment, esp.'cially aa his friends gazed pityingly nt him, thinking he bail gouo denioule.l.
Ilul his nuger cooled, au.l iu thc Honso thnt night ho read the speech amid ronrs of laughter. If ho were cajiable ot ulloring such uouseuse. he said, as had liceu pnt in his montii it ivould 1.0 high time he wns placed iu a lunatic asylum. For himaelf lie cared liltle about it, liut it waa for the dignily of tho Houso he felt con cerned.
Fiuuerty, on this occaaian, had not to pay tho penalty fur his exuuiaitf gift of humor; lint later, for a libel or Lord Caatlereagli, Secrelary for For. eign .\ITairs, ho vias im]irisoned fo eighteen months.

The Disabled Cannon,
The gun disabled by the British at Lombardakop was one of tbo few large piece! of artillery poasessed l.y tho Boera, It is exactly similar to I tbo famous guns mounted iu tiio 1 latest Japnnoso irouolads.
A rather strange story attaches to ! the purchase of this gun, with its ! compnnious. In IR'.lli the British Oovernmeut obtuined secret informa¬ tion that made it evident that the Boers of the South African Hepul.lio viere engaged iu a plot wilh thu ob jecl of seizing Delagoa Bay, (itber by purcbaao from Portugal or by force. (Ireat Britain has the right of pre¬ emption iiver Delago a Bay, oud as soou na tho intention of tho Boers was knowu a large British fleet was col¬ lected outside Lorenzo Marques, Tha Boors, fludiug their arrangements dia¬ covered, gnve up for the timo their cherished ambition of obtaining a port.
But so sure wera Iho authoriti-ja of Iho Transvaal at ouo timo of lieing ublo to secure Delagoa Bny that tbey ordered the guns to protect it, pro- snmnbly against the'Britiah wsrsbipa, Tlu-ao guns vvere mniiufactiired iu France, nud wore taken into tho Transvaal mai ked "machinery, with oare," by the Xetherlnn.ls Kailway, whicb is strongly pro-Boer in *ym- pathies.
