The Journey Homeward

The Oinaha Repullican has the following: There is au Irishnian in this city who is on his way trom San Francisco, California, to Cork, Ireland, and who has had a very eventful experience so far on his journey. He started froin California with a full through ticket to Cork, about 100 in cash and a draft for over $1,200 in his possession. When near Ogden he was robbed of the cash that he had, also of his railroad ticket to Omaha. He was afraid that they would get his draft, so he tore it up and threw it away. Then he walked all the way to thia city, arriving here without u cent in his pccket and the railroad tickets that he had between here and New York had expired by reason of his delay iu reaching this city and were worthless to Min. He wrote to the bank in California, where he had obtaiued the original draft, the duplícate of which he had destroyed, and they forwarded to him here a triplícate draft, payable to his order. Here arose the difficulty. of identification. The Irishman presented the draft at a bank but he could not be identified as the person to whoni it should be paid. He did not know a single individual in this entire city, therefore identification was impossible. It was a very peculiar position to be in, to have money, and not to have it. We are informed, however, that an arrangement was effected finally by which the draft was placed in a bank in this city, who will advance the means to secure for our Irish traveler transporta tion to his home "beyond the say," and will seoure themselves by forwarding the draft to Cork, with instructions to deduct from it the sum advanced before it is paid. The traveler will resume his journey homeward now, and we hope that the perils of tho sea will not follow him as persistently as have the perils of the land.
