LETTER FRoM MARTIN scULLY.
His Voyage to Ire1and-We1l Received in Queenstow by Detectives.
 QUEENSTOWN, March 5, 1888.

Editor of the EVENING DEMOCRAT:
 I am aware that4the news of our landing at Queenstown and also that of our tedious voyage will have reached you long before the receipt of this letter. The particulars of the voyage, which may be of interest to your readers, will be forwarded to you at my earliest convenience. For the present I shall confne myself to the action taken by the citizens of Queenstown, which, in deed. far exceeded my most sanguine ex- pectations. It is strange, yet true, that the people here had not definite informa ton regarding the fact that the remains of Stephen J. Meany were on board the Wyo- ming till within one or two days previous to the time she was due at Queenstown.
 As soon as it became known that the re- mains were on board the Wyoming co m- mittee representing the people of Queens town were appointed to meet the remains at the wharf. The committee was in wait ing since Thursday, the day she was ex- pected to lsnd and great anxiety prevailed owing to the cause of delay But they waited dpatiently-perhaps I should have written impatiently. We landed at , o'clock in the evening. On board the ten der which came out to meet us, were many relatives of the deceased: His son J. D. Meany, of Cork; His daughter Mrs O. Hanlon and his son-in law MT O'Han- lon both of Cork. There were also on board Messrs, c. R. Doran, water commis- sioner and engineer of Queenstown, accom- panied by P. H. Carroll of Cork, late of Chicago; J. D. Ryan, Jeremiah Crowley, J. J. Murphy, Daniel Twomey, all of Queens town; Robert Johnson of the Dublin Free man; E.. s. Shill of the Cork Examiner and J. O'Connell, the popular dry goods mer- chant of Queenstown: P. J. Kidney, Richard S,,111 T T F.,y further particulars see the clippings from the Cork Herald, Cork Examiner and Dublin Freeman of to-day which I send The remarks of MT Doran reported in the Herald must have been delivered i'll my absence, or at the time I was busily engaged seeing that the remains were carefully removed from the Wyoming to the tender. l never heard word of it, and consequently made no reply. Perhaps it was just as well | Your readers know that lam man of ex ! treme views and probably would have saiC something that might give offence to few of Her Majesty's friends, who stood close by, and have watched my C err movement since the hour of landing.
 l Queenstown is splendid place, tn, Streets, sidewalks and everything be ing scrupulously clean. The people of thi | of our American towns. The mems clothes are about the same style. The girls dres as we'll and look just as good as our Water bury girls, and that's good enough for any body. What think you of this, friends 0 the Bachelor club Newspaper men here as elsewhere get matters, confused as vol will see by the different papers. But havn't anything to find fault with myself Don't you see that l am made member o the New York Press Club.
 | Yours Respectfully
 M ScULLY.
 The following appropriate poem write by Clare man, is taken from the Cor Herald:
 STEPHEN JOSEPH MEANY
 Alas to-day the cable flashed.
 1 Sad news from OCT the foam, Another Irish Chief has passed
 To an eternal home.
 When dark despair o'ercast our land,
 In troubled Forty-eight,
 He boldly joined the patriot band. And shared the patriots fate; And later, still, when vale and hill, Bore comrades pledged to heaven, , He noby filled a Chieftains post,
 In glorious Sixty-seven.
 From manhood's s noon to riper years, | And thence to olden age Through path of gloom or flood of tears, 7 The true, the brave, the noble soul Would ever bring relief; But, ah he's gone, when nigh the goal
 God rest our Irish Chief.
