city on Saturday last, and created the

triotic citizens of Dublin. 1t was gener.
ally felt that the opportunity should not be
lost Of offering public welcome in the
capital OF the nation to one who, with un-
faltering cOnstancy and devotion, has never
failed during the last fifty years to raise
his powerful and eloquent voice in denun-
clatlon OF the wrongs inflicted upon his
country. DR.. McHale is, perhaps, the one
lrishman who centres in himself the admi-
ration and reverence of all classes of his
| countrymen. He is one of the very few
public men in this country who, during the
last half century, have never swerved
from the path of truth and duty. He has,
during that long space of time, never once
been cajoled into appreciation of Govern
mental wrong-doing by, the specious pro-
misses of Ministers, and never once been
coerced into silence by their threats, when
ever his country's interests demanded that
he should speak out. For these reasons
the name of DIR. McHale is one that is held
In respect even by the enemies of our
country, while it is held in reverence by
lrishmen all over the world. 1t is well
known that DR.. McHale is more frequently
than any other Irishman made the medium
OF communication between the scattered
remnants of the Celtic race. It would be
strange, then, if in the capital of the nation
which he loves, and has SO long and SO
well and faithfully served, he did not, on
this particular occasion, receive some token
OF the atfectiOnate interest and deep rever-
ence with which he is regarded. How
magnificently the people gave expression
to the feelings with which they regard the
illustrious prelate will be seen by reference
to an article in this column.-Nation.
lid for the French Wounded.-No. 3 Tho
mond terrace, North Circular road, August
6th.-Dear Mr.. Lesage-I hasten to enclose
you 81, my subscription towards the fund
you have SO nobly organized in aid of the
wounded of the French army and navy. I
shall at the same time feel great pleasure in
rendering you any assistance in my power
in carrying out this most meritorious work.
If in addition to receiving subscriptions
you would kindly receive parcels of old
linen, believe that very many Irish ladies
would send quantities of it, which, when
made into bandages and lint, would tend
to assuage the pain and suffering of the
wounded soldiers of the brave French
army. With best wishes for the success of
your efforts, 1 remain, dear sir, faithfully
yours, EDWARD MCMAHON.
