MINNEAPOLIS AND ST PAUL. SATURDAY,
eerning the atrocities perpetrated by
the English soldiery III Ireland. 1t is

1 corning the atrocities perpetrated bJ
1.-The English soldiery IN Ireland. 1t il
t all the more striking as coming from
an Fnglishman who had no sympath,
with the Irish people, and whose pity
was greatest doubtless for those vic
Tins who were innocent people and
having nothing Irish-like in them, but
the Catholic religion q trait still re-
naarkably Irish like" and the source
OF much persecution.
1.-The crueities of the Irish against
the English are in everybody's mouth,
and set forth in printed pageants sold
in London. Some cruelties on the con-
trary part are these that follow.
IAN English parson that lived in
ireland told me that one Of his own
coat. born in Wirral in Cheshire and
.benedced in Ireland, killed with his
own hands one Sunday morning So Of
his own parishioners, most, OF all OF
them (as l remember), women and
children This was toldme at Chester,
s.. D. 1914, in the hearing Of MIR. Ralph
Bridoka, chaplain TO the Earl of Derby.
4 Colonel Washington told ms OF
great cruelties committed by the soldiers
against the Irish; among oyher things
that he saw one take an infant upon his
pike and toss it up in the air.
s'Captain Robert Bramwcl} told me
he was in danger OF his life from his
own party for covering young gentle
woman with his cloak VINO had been
stripped by them; they afterwards
dashed out her brains.
Zone Captain Hhilipson las take it)
one Of the English officers, told me that
about 100 OF 200 unar1ned Irish, that
climbed up to the top Of trees to avoid
the soldiers, were ali killed with shot
from below, and that child of two
years old was barbarous!7 land oddly
murdered in the same place.
s.Archdeacon Pryce told me that
Major Morice hanged a gent}ewoman
only because she looked las he was
pleased to phrase it) like an Irish lady.
:s The Politicians Catechism' re-
lateth briefly other sad particulars Of
this nature. Few Of tue populous
country Of Fingal left alive; all per-
ished by fire and sword, being innocent
people and having nothing Irish-like in
them but the Catholic religion. The
army killed man, woman and child in
the county OF Wicklow. A gentle
woman, big with child, was hanged on
ttheArch of a bridge. Mr.. CONAN, who
never bore arms, was roasted there
alive by Captain Gines. They mur7
dered all that came in their way from
within two miles OF Dublin. Mrs.
Eustace, of Cradockston, in The county
of Kildare (sister to Sir William Tai
bot), of so years Of age, after she had
entertained with victuals, was mur:
dered by the Protestant officers, with
another old gentlewoman and girl of
eight years of age. Mr.. Cauley, Of
Westmeath, showing his protection,
was killed With a shot, the protection
being laid on his breast to try il it were
proof. Mr.. Thomas Talbot, a great
servitor in Queen Elizabeth's war in
Ireland, aged so years, was murdered
though he had Z. protection. From zoo
to 800 women, children and laborers,
were murdered in one day in the Kings
land. within seven miles of Dublin.
And yet it may be question whether
those great transplantations to Con-
naugilt and to America exceed not all
that hath been said"
