LONDON, March 2l.-Thc banquet of the
National League in honor of st. Patrick.
winch was held in the Cannon Street IIUlcj
last evening, was the occasion of Il most en-
thusnstlc gathering of prominent Home
Rulers and the delivery OF several extreme
! fiery and defiant speeches. Nh. John

edglng the honor asserted that the Nation
allsts had the upper hand in Ireland oncr.

nc acclhrcd, had more power in many parts

was constantly in receipt of letters ASKING
him to settle disputes between landlord ana
tenant, in most Of which cases his selection
as arbitrator was proposed by the former
AS evidence or the changed state of affairs
ana the rcallHatiOn of the landlords that
the night was losing one, Mr.. Dillon cited
the case OF Sir Henry Burke, who under
the pressure of the plan Of campaign captu.
lated few weeks ago and granted to the
tenants on his estate near Loughrca. not
only q reduction Of 20 per cent, but also
pald the legal costs, restored cvictcd ten
ants TO their holdings, and paid the expense
OF Their maintenance while they were cx-
cludcd from their homes. The sad history
Of the past, Mr.. Dillon said, would never
be repeated in Ireland. Other landlords
must fOllC" the example of Sir Henry
Burke The days Of wholesale cvictions
were over, Mr.. Balfour to the contrary
notwithstanding, and the practice of I'M

Father Byone of Boston responded to tie
toast: ''Thc Friends of Ireland " The

A Buried CITY,

That one Of the greatest of all Of the
cities built by the BuddhiSts i'll the cast
should have been forgotten and lost in
the depths of q trackleSS forest for .000
years is fact that lays Il powerful hold
on the imagination. Readers of Mr..
Ferguson and Sir Emerson Tennent have
heard something Of the architectural Won
ders of Anuradhapura, the ancient Getty
OF granite in the island of CCylOn, and
Of the unparalleled immunity of its struc-
lures and rich monumental remains from
the ravages of the spoilcr and the religious
fanatic.
Since they wrote great progress has
been made in the way Of clearing the
jungle. Mr.. Burrows, who has lately
visited the city, gives in Macmillan's
Magazine n remarkable account of the
progress made in local archWUlocical re-
searches since this marvellous record Of
the past was accidentally rcdiscOvercd
The ruins at present disclosed are de-
scribed rs already extending for q dis
tance Of at least four miles by uwo and q
half. The wonderful Cingalesc palace,
supposed to have been built about the
commencement Of the Christian era, Of
which Mr. burrows gives an elaborate
description, was discovered only last year.
So far the clHarings and excavations arc
stated to yield results which entirely
agree with the most authentic account
eXtant from an eye witness Of ancient
Anuradhapura--thc Chinese traveller, Fa
Hian, who visited it in the early part Of
the Fifth century.-Chicago Times.

A Uniquo and famous Pearl.

NO explanation ever has been, or ever
will be, forthcoming of the extraordinary
freak OF nature in the formation of the
famous pearl known as the sou hcrn cross.
Originally discovered at ROeburn, in
western Australia, it consists of nino
pearls adhering together in the form Of q
Latin cross, seven in the shaft and two in
the arms, one on each side Of the shaft,
nearly opposite the second pearl from the
top. The pearls gre slightly compressed
like peas i'll pod, and no trace of any
artificial junction can be observed. 1t
has been suggested that q fragment Of
sea weed may have got into the shell and
formed the frame of the construction.
The pearls are of fine quality, though
slightly misshapen at parts, and the value
OF the gem is very high. It's character is
unique, and so filled tho owner-an Irish
htln named Kelley-with supcrstitious
awe that for long time he was induced
to hide it away and keep his possession of
it q secret.-Boston Transcript
