LATE IRISH NEWS.
THOUGHTS ON ST. PATRIoK's DAY.
BY VIM. GEOGaEGAN.

BY VIM. GEoaaEGAN.
st. Patrick's Day has come again
With all its memories of the past.
Recalling scenes of hill and glen,
And glories sweeping by too fast.
Glories of Brian Born,
When wreaking vengeance on the Dane;
Mem 'ries Of those heroes, too,
Who won renown in France and Spain.
The glories OF our ancient creed,
Whereby we breathe in heavens beam,
Whereby our fathers all were freed
From organisms dismal dream!
But while we gaze with joy and pride
Upon the glories of the past,
Our Erin's tears are still undried,
And sorrow makes her look aghast,
Lift up thy head, beloved Isle
Like yonder star above US beatning;
HOPE glmmers out and angels smile
While Freedoms claymore still is cleaning.
O'Mahoney, that sterling Celt.
Awol1e the drowsy world to wonder
And, Erin, cen the Saxon felt
The ru1nbling of the tempest's thunder!
Why this gathering OF the clans
Around his grave beyond the ocean,
While even naughty Albion stands
Staring with suppressed emotion?
It is because he loved his lund-
Not in a pulling whining fashion,
But with love most great and grand,
Like some absorbing, powerful passion!
The voice Of Ireland now is heard,
The nation has in SORROW spoken;
Her sons, alas betimes have erred,
But then their Mothers heart was broken!
So let Us hail st. patrick's Day,
Although with Joys and sorrows freighted,
We yet shall march in freedoms ray,
With smiling brows and hearts elated:
With fife and drum, all d martial ss.r,y,
The Stars and Stripes and Green Flag flying,
Our serried ranks shall march along
With firm step and hope undying.
Then let the Celts join hand in hand,
No power on earth their bonds can sever;
Let Union be their motto, and
Thar flag OF green shall fls forever

Damage to the T obacco cro..

Damage to the Tobacco Grow.
The recent fro.ts did no little amount of
damage to tobacco standing in the fields in
Piedmont North Carolina. Messrs. Cole
man Bros, leaf tobacco dealers, of Winston,
have taken the trouble to get an estimate of
the damage, and in the last issue of the
Southern Tobacco Journal we find their re-
port as follows
In our opinion from information receiv-
| ed, one fifth of the crop in the country trib-
| utary to Winston was killed. AS you and
all tobacco men know the late continuous
| rains caused tobacco to take the second
| growth, and very much delayed its ripen-
ing. Very little had been cut prior to the
i rains, and since the wet spell ii has ripened
i slowly, though in some sections more than
| others, and had there been no frost the sup
ply of fine brights would have been cut off.
| Though, as we wrote you some time
since, with clear weather and late fall, we
4 believe our section would have had an aver
age crop in quantity and quality. The COO
snap a few days prior to the frost scared the
farmers and they cut good deal green
which cannot make bright or desirable
stock. As we said, the crop was more ad
vanced in some sections than others, conse
ouently the damage varies. From the bes
Information we can get, seven-eighths Q
. the crop in Forsyth county was cut, Will
: in Stokes. Rockingham, Yadkin, Davie ant
,, Davidson only twothirds to three-fourth
: had been cut
t Our belief is that fine brights must b
scarce, and not a boutifnl supply of goo
h brights.
r Some very fair new was sold to-day ;
i full prices, cutting Tugs going as high as
tents.
