this character, In which the girl had FLED

had been arrested by the man, who was q

piece of land and q cottage for her sntee-
bled parents. How changed wss theseene
to-day. The schoelmaster and the print
ing press had been at work, and Irishnpen
no longer trembled for the virtue of their
daughters, or the continued tyranny Of
England. There'was day when they dt.
pended on armed force: such was the can,-
ditiOn in feudal times. Intelligence had
united the Irish in a common cause. Years
ago there was ascramble for vacant farmss
tonight the 100000 tenants of Ireland
were as one man.
The landlord might call them out to i'm
pose new rules, and on their refusal they
were evicted. What did that mean now

dents transpiring between landlords and
tenants, throwing in all the brogue of the
Guild Dart with great gustO, calling forth
rounds of applause and laughter. The
struggle now, he continued, was for the
ownership of the land. Last year they
could have secured the government valua-
ton rent, and they would not take; they
could have secured the price for its pur-
chase then, but now it had gone down SO
per cent. Where was this thing going
to end? The land league was led
by skilled strategists and the peo-
pie had faith in them and stood firm,
When a man was evicted the League put
him up frame house ON the confines of
his farm, often better than the one he left;
Mr.. Parnel told him to remain there,
keep an eye on the farm, for by and by it
will be yours" and he was paid pound a
week.. 1t had ceased to be disgrace to go
to jail in this cause; they rather felt
proud of it, and many of them would
emerge from the prison doors as members
of parliament. The people were never so
happy or so hopeful as now. This made
the speaker wish he was younger, as he felt
sure that the golden era for Ireland was
dawning. Mr.. Sullivan then paid high
tribute to the iberality and devotion of
the American Irishmen. Not more dear to
the hearts of the ancients of Israel as they
sat by the rivers of Babylon and wept at
the remembrance of Zion, than the sight
this evening of Irish-American soldiers
with martial tread bearing aloft the en-
signs of freedom, the starry flag of Amer
lea and the green banner of Ireland.
Mr.. Sullivan was greeted with loud and
prolonged applause at the conclusion of
his remarks, in which Gov. Hubbard, May

BISHOP 1RELAND's REMARKS.
Order being restored Mayor Rice intro
duced Bishop Ireland, who commenced by
saying that it was not proper for any other
voice to break the music of that which
they had just heard resounding through
the hall. It sounded in their ears like the
harp of Erin-it was voice from Ireland
and it brought a message, not by letter OF
by telegram, but by living ambassador
who has come among us in the person
of one of Ireland's noblest sons.
For years A. M. Sullivan has been doing
battle for Irish liberty, and it afforded
him the most exquisite pleasure to say
that he was also as strong an advocate OF
the temperance cause, not only by word
but also in action. Passing from thii
topic the bishop referred to the subject Of
Mr.. Sullivan's address, and said he thanked
Mr.. Sullivan for the honor he. had done St
Paul in coming here, and he charged him
with message to carry back from the
banks of The Mississippi to Erin go Bragh
that the Irishmen of st. Paul were in sym.
pathy with their brethren of the Green Isle
in demanding right and justice. The day
was not far distant when right and justice
will be done, and when that
day arrives, he said, his St. Paul
friends would have to excuse him for a
time, as he should most assuredly visit the
mother land to mingle his congratulations
with redeemed people. Loud and pro
longed applause.
The bishop concluded his remarks by
announcing that Mr.. Sullivan had kindly
consented to address the citizens of St
Paul upon the subject of total abstinence

ket hall, and that the admittance would be
| free to all.
This closed the meeting, and, after be-
ing introduced to large number of those
present, Mr.. Sullivan was escorted to his
carriage and driven to his apartments a,
