An Irish Gathering:

The crowd that gathers whenever
land meeting is held in Ireland seems
strange enough to English eyes. As a
correspondent of the Pail Mall Gazette
pictures tho scene, the old.fashion6d
tail-coat with brass buttons, knee.
breeches, and CATERS, is sometimes
deserted, and reminds spectators of
Irish melodrama. The number of
women is singularly large. With bare
feet and bare heads they stand for hours,
even when the rain is pouring, listening
eagerly to the speeches, and cheering
every strong point. There is no marked
prevalence of one type of feature or
complexion. Auburn tresses float in
the wind beside raven locks. When the
rain batters down with exceptional Sc
verify, under the stimulus Of . squall,
the shawl is raised from the neck over
the head. and comfort seems to be Sc.
cured. There is little beauty, but a
fair amount Of comeliness and that soft
ness and smoothness of skin nearly uni
versally found in damp climates. The
manners of the crowd are quite admir-
able; no loud talking or coarse joking
or offensive laughter can be heard any.

Land League meeting Is necessarily {
