more than quarter of century ago,
from the free lands in which I made my
Studies, | felt by contrast how i'll
treated my countrYmen were, and then,
as I now do, | pledged myself TO wage
perpetual War against oppression, and
to know no rest till our people, accord
ing to their respective grades, would DO
as well clad, as well fed and as well
lodged as their equals in other lands
The day is surely daWning for the re-
alization of these hopes. Much has
already been done in that direction, yet
much also remains to be achieved. But
with men at our head like Parnell and
the parliamentary party; with priests
and people now everywhere welded
into one formidable phalanx; with seats
OF learning such as this-RoekWell, ST.
Golman2s, Of Fermoy, where spent
many happy days aud similar lslstitu-
tions scattered everywhere over the
face OF the land, inspiring the rising
generation with National sentiments
and aspirations-our pilfered rights
cannot much longer be withheld nor
can Ireland continue to be what for
centuries she has been, a bYword and
an oatcast amongst nations. AS for
me, in conclusion, I shall be always at
my post. For while / was TO solae
extent comparatively alone amongst
the higher clergy in the National ranks.
To-day, thank God and the Pope, am
but cue of many, all animated with the
same desire to see old ireland enlanci-
pated, and her people prosperous and
eontented. Gentlemen, accept again
my thanks for your address, and for
your genuine Irish welcome to the
French College Of Blackjack.

NAPOLEON THE GREAT.
Description by One Who Saw Him at
Rorndinn.

| A,dor General Yakovitch. Of the Rus
sial army, is one of the few lnen now
| liv: ] who saw the great Napoleon on a
bait s-field. The old General saw the
French Emperor at Borodino. At that
| battle Yakoyitch, then a mere boy,
served with battery in the grand re-
doubt, which was the center OF the
Russian line, He gives a vivid descrlp-
ton OF til. battle. When morning
broke sea of gray mist shut out the
| field from view The voices OF the
enemy were heard, the neighing Of their
horses and the rsamble of artillery
wheels. Then came the 5llnndeg-of cam
non. making the very earth tremble.
Threg times all the Russian gunners
I~a24ae killed, and three times new men
tooK their places. Bullets flew thick as
hail, and men dropped dead or lnangled
every moment
At last a sound was heard i'm the els
lance like rain pattering on withered
leaves. 1T grew louder and louder, I'M
TIL it filed the air like the roar of a
stormy sea. All at once great wave
of bright swords and helmets and
horses heads came surging up over the
breast-Works. 1t was the Imperial
Guard. Before the shock OF that mighty
wave the Russian center crumbIed
away, shattered wreck. When 1ako-
witch came to his senses and opened
his eyes, he saw around him the corpses
of his father and his comrades. Sud
denly the tramping of hoofs called his
attention to a group of gayly-dressed
officers, and Napoleon's staff came rid
ing over the field. The young Russian
peered anxiousiy into their faces. In
his graphic language:
aThere were the hard faces of Rapp
and Darn and broad-chested Sebastian.
and .Nansouty, with the saber scar
across his cheek, and the low, broad
forehead and bulldog jaw of grim old
Ney, the bravest Of them all. There,
too, was Murat, with his white plunles
and his braided jacket, his long, dark
curls hanging Down his neck and his
riding-whip in his hand, just Like q CIR
Gus rider And then the group parted
suddenly, and there Yas the man hiua-
self in the midst of them, with his face
hard and iInmovable as marble amid all
that blood and agony, and q far-aWay
kind of look in those cold gray eyes OF
his, as if he saw Moscow somewhere
up in the sky. and could see nothing be-
tween "A glorious yictoryl' cried
Murat, waving his hand. What a stir
there'lI be among the good folks in
Paris when the bulletin arrivesp
( We've lost half our army in doing it,
though growled Ney. sHadn't We
better fall back q. little and wait for the

slowly, Just as the statue might dc, and

thing new, indeedI I must date my
bulletin from Moscow. As for the
army, you can't make an onelette with

says that when he heard that, be knew
that God had forsaken Napoleon, for
no man save one doomed to destruction
could have spoken SO lightly Of the
slaughter Of thousands Of brave men.

These questions are the source OF end

presents just for the sake of giving
them are worried more than those who
give them as tokens of esteem or love.

Those who make presents for the
purpose OF being in the fashion or for
appearance sake will lind no end of
trouble in satisfying themselves. much
less in satisfying those who receive
them. Instead of regarding them as
tokens Of esteem or affection they are
looked upon with critical eye, and

pectations.

hypocritical Therefore it were better
neither to give nor to receive unless it

to be the quantity exported every
fourth year, including horses, mules,
asses, cattle, sheep and pigs. we should
lose yearly by this expectation 6,233
pounds of potash This in 200 years
would make / ,:246,600 pounds loss from
this source alone. But if the wool of
sheep is reckoned, it will be found to
be much greater. About a pound of
potash per acre of fertile land does aot
| at first sight seem much, and it the loss
was confined to this source it would
/ not be, indeed, of great consequence.
But there are hundreds of other sources
of loss on q much larger scale, as, for
instance, the practice of pairing and
burning, the expectation of potatoes,
and formerly of grain, the dissolving
out of potash compounds by floodings,
and the subsequent drainage neces-
STATED thereby, and various other
minor causes. In the fine, heavy loan
at Rothamstead, wheat removed dur
ing twenty years from the soil $50
pounds Of potash. Now, wheat was
grown in Kilkenny, Tipperary and
Limerick before 1916 to a very large ex-
tent, sometimes two or three years con-
tinuously, to make up q high rent. But,
taking the ordinary four-course rota-
ton, each acre would annually lose
4,4-5 pounds OF potash. This is not
much, but when long continued it /
would ultimately quite exhaust the
most fertile soil. On the other hand, |
the United Kingdom is reckoned to I'M
port annually in it's provisions ana ar
tificial manures about half a million
cwts. OF potash; but it is needless to
mention that nearly all of this goes to !
Great Britain. Johnston has calculated,
this, that the total |
loss of the United Kingdom in potash |
yearly is 10, 100000 pounds, while the
gain is only l3,370,1l pounds. If this
is so for the United Kingdom gener
ally, we may assume that, in proportion
to her extent, Ireland suffers a much
greater loss in potash than either Eng
land or Scotland. As Ireland is about
fve-nineteenths the area OF Great Brit
ain, her proportion of annual loss of
potash would be. all other things being
equal, over 26 900 900 pounds of potash.
But considering that she is almost
wholly an exporting nation, except in
the matter Of cereals, we may set it
down at least at half as much again, or
yearly 40, 900, 900 pounds, or ten pounds
to every man, woman and child in the
country.
We have now passed in review the
great loss of two of the most necessary
substances in every fertile soil, VIZ,

A Suspicious Little Blaze.

An alarm from Box %, Main street and
Lagonda avenue, at 7:lv last night, called the
Fire Department to Sycamore street, at the
railroad crossing, where a small dwelling
house was ablsze in the rear part. The Ere
was e1tinguished after doing damsge to the
amount OF 500 TO $3.50, probably covered by
insurance. The house was unoccuped, and is
the same sold by the sheriff Saturday after
noon on execution Issued in favor OF W. W.
Diehl, foreclosing a mortgage held by him
on the premises, Mrs. Doro,hea Zoller
becoming the purchaser. 1t was owned sub
ject to the Diehl claim, by Thomas and Anna
Burns, and putting this and that together
there are unpleasant rumorS ahoat in connec-
ton with the fire. As the sale had not been
confirmed by the court nor any money paid
by the purchaser of the property there is an
interesting question as to who sustained the
loss.
Captain Koontz, OF the Westerns, lost his
fire hat in The street, and one of the Central
reel team stepping into it, mashed it into a
veritable cooked hat. Cap. thinks he can
make il as good as new, still.
