pagan barbarity, inflicted upon her by
so-called Christian people. A prince
among poets, writing of the once mistress
of the world, styles her
''The Niobe of nations. Alone she stands.
Crownless and childless in her voiceless woe.''
Ireland is the Niobe of modern nations.
Crownless she is, and her woe for ages has
been and still is so deep, so terrible, so lit
tie deserved, and yet so unending, that the
human tongue can find no words sufficiently
strOngato give it expression. But, thank
God, Ireland is not childIeSS. In every land,
beneath every sky, among all tongues and
peoples, when this mornings
sun ushered in Saint Patrick's
day, it found Irishmen and
Irishwomen and Irish children, sons and
daughters, instinctively turning to the
mother land with prayers, with tears, with
grateful memories-preparedt to honor her,
to suffer for her, aye and to die for her, if
opportunity occurs.
Reverned Bishop, have the honor to
present to you the Catholic Irish focieties
from two cities. We beg your blessing on
our associations, on our banners, on the
purposes and aims, on our families and on
our country. And / do not hesitate to ex-
press the heartfelt hope and belief that the
| day is not far distant when the bishops and
priests of Ireland will lead the way in hon
orable fight to do or dare everything that is
necessary to be done or dared for Irish
| freedom. For 10 quote from the most elo-
quent of my grace Il can conceive no spec
''tacle more sublime than that of the eternal
''cross red with the blood of martyrs and
| radiant with the patriots hope borne by
''priest patriot and soldier hand highIin the
van Of universal freedom
| RESPONSE OF BISHOP GRACR.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Kelly's ad-
dress, Bishop Grace in response spoke sub
stantially as follows:
thank you, my dear friends, for this
honor you are pleased to do me, and espe-
cially thank you for the just sentiments
that have been expressed with reference to
the sacrsd cause of religion. [ trust these
sentiments will always be your guiding
principles, not only for your private indi-
vidual conduct as men, but as well also for
your public acts as citizens. For these
principles, holy in their nature and eternal
in their application, we're inculcated by the
word and the example of the glorious saint
whose memory we honor on this day. They
embrace the principles which mark the
wrong under all circumstances and which
can never be violated with impunity, nor
can any real good ever come from their
violation. No good can ever come from
wrong doing. I trust you will ever prove
true to yourselves and to your native coun-
try by misunderstanding all acts that are
wrong in principle, and avoiding all ALI
ances that might impHcate you in pro-
ceedings, no matter what their object, that
are indefensible.
L am reioiced to know, gentleman of the
temperance societies, that your efforts
in behalf of the cause of temper
ance have not relaxed sincs
I had last the pleasure of addressing
you on this anniversary. The evil you
have to struggle with may be Hkened to
the tabled monster which it was one of the
labors of Hercules to subdue. It had nine
heads, and for every head cut OFF two new
ones sprung up in its place, until finally
; Selling the central head, in which was the
principle of vitality, Hercules fastened il
, under a rock: there to remain. There
= seems but little hope of overcoming this
evil of intemperance by cutting off the
source of supply, as Bishop Ireland wishes
. to have done. Other sources will be found
for every one that is forestalled. Prohibi
tion cannot prevent the evil, high license
cannot prevent it. 1t is only by striking
at the root in the mind and conscience; by
creating and fostering public opinion; by
bringing men to hate the evil in them
! selves and others; by making the thing
:. dishonoring in places high and low. Thu
you have been doing through your socie
ties, and with no small measure of success
:; You have only to persevere. Time is al
element that must enter in every great re
form. You have no reason to be discour
aged, but the contrary. Yon have the bes
wishes OF the best men of every class o
society, and what is best Of all, you hay
the blessing of God upon your work.

At the conclusion of the bishops re
marks there were loud calls for Fathe

them they should be well entertained
This concluded the speech making an
