THE BLESSED ISLE.
••;-- I An Irish correspondent writes to the London. Morning Poet: — "We m Ulster cannot imagine the state of affairs ■ described m the London papers on the food question. We want for absolutely nothing. Our butchers ' are full of meat of 'all kinds. We have no trouble m getting as, much milk as vre want. As for butter, you should see the lovely butter that anybody can get without the slightest difficulty, Itows of hams and bacon ' delight our eyes m the grocers' shops, and! tea is displayed m the windows by the' chest. We know nothing about restrictions regarding the sale of intoxicants before a certain hour m the evening, save that we are supposed to close our public-houses at nine' instead of the old hour, eleven. We are a free; and independent people."
