No forensic address Is more powerful than his
memorable defence OF Magee, winch terrible ar
raignment of English rule In Ireland illes the
civilized world with mis- fame. Though he was on
that occasion technically defeated, he Was NOR
ally and virtually triumphant His boldness as
Jonlshed alike friends and foes.
ga GIANT IN BODY AND MIND.r
No man could be more amlaDle In his private re-
latlons than O'Connell lie ldolized hls vile, his
childreS and mis- grandchildren. His life when at
Derrynane Abbey, IN his native Kerry, was that OF
an old irish patriarchal prince, refined by modern
civilization. 1t was splendid to see MIN dIspens-
ing his generous hospitattles. 1t was also mag
nidcent to the cid man. with mis- leaping pole,

sQUELoHNG cANTANKERoUs ATTORNEY.
0iConne was once engaged In a at the
assizes OF one OF the towns on the Munster CIR
cut. The attorney on the side opposed to O'Con-
nell was the most combative OF mOrtais. Nothing
delighted hin so much as having good fight.
Inis taste he always look care TO crafty by being
foremost In whatever scenes or political excite
meut occurred III his native town. HIS external
appearance was significant OF his moral and intel
lectual qualities. His face generally wore an auda.
cious, threatening, contemptuous expression. He
looked like some logged pugilist, His hair was
as conJrarious as ais disposition. No amount of
on ID ike
were Tar from tending TO mollify the agnting eX-
preston OF his lace This fiery, spunky, wrangling
limb OF the law, Whenever ne addressed AN au-
dience, Jerked out his short sentences-not desti-
tute OF certain sort OF abilty-in Kissing tone
or voice.
Being an OraRgeman this odd character was
anything but irtendly TO O'Conneli. On the ecca-
sion IN question ne kept annoying him by every
means In MS power-one moment by improper In
terruptons, at another time by addressing the
witnesses, In short by all sorts OF unwarrantable
interference. Valnly did the barrlsters associated
with O'C0nnel take hum to task roughly. Va1Rly
did the Judge repeatedly order him TO keep quiet.
Up he would jump every other moment, inter-
ruptlng the proceedings, Kissing out the prompt
inss Of mis- bile, sometimes even vocn-
to keep this eholeric Orange attorney
at rest for five consecutive minutes. Finally,
even while O'Connen was IN the very act or
a fmDOF6ant N
once more, quite Hnabashed, for the mere pur-
pose OF repeating. for the hundrsdth time, his out
rageous interruption. But this over1lled the
measure OF O'ConneIl's wrath; he suddenly lost
All patience. Turning around with the rapidly OF
lightning, and with his fiercest seowl on the dis
turber OF the peace, he reared IN tones OF thunder
'Sit down, you 2udaclous, snarl1ng, pugnaclous
ramcatW Quick as the few words That alt Off
with such happy humor the character or the ''can-
tankerous" attorney. few from his lips, shouts or
laughter rang through tne court. Roar followed
roar. Judge, barristers and all were convulsed
till the tears DOWN their cheeks. In Snort
the laughter was as inextingaishable that of old
homers gods when Vulcan limped tnreugh the
halls or olympus.
Meanwhile the pugnacous limb or the law stood
before OConhell ike one transhXed pale, tongue
tied, gasplnK vita unutteraole fury. All through
the remainder OF his lie the nickname OF "ram-
Cat" stuck TO him.
THR HEIR-AT-LAw OF THE IMPENrTEHT THIEF

laughter, with these words And win the i'm
