DANIEL O'CONNELL was at one time
defending man accused of murder at
Clonmel. The circumstantial evidence
was so strong against the prisoner that
the jury had already determined upon
their verdict OF guilty, when the man
supposed to be murdered was brought
into court, alive and unhurt. The jury
was desired to return their verdict at
once, and thev did so, but it was one Of
equity" .'What does this meant" in

great patriot John Of Tuam.
The remarkable and noble career OF the
arch bishop is portrayed by loving
hand who embodss in the biography
many important letters and documents
not heretofore published. The, New
York Herald of last Sunday has an ex-
tended review of the work. from which
the following passages are taken
Few biographical works in our day
treat of a grander life than that of the
great Archbishop of Tua,n. the bosom
friend of O'Connell, his fellow laborer
in the cause of Ireland, the eloquent
and undismayed advocate of Home
Rule and tenant right for more than "a
years after the death of O'Oonnell. No
work published in the present century
on ireland, her sufferings and her strug-
giles FOR political justice and the simple
right to live can be compared in import
anoe and interest to these two splendid
volumes, for this life of the great patriot
prelate is the history Of Ireland during

''the Land of the West''-to Trawley,
with it's sublime mountain scenery, its
beautiful and numerous. lakes, and it's
no less numerous and beautiful monas-
tic ruins. Both volumes are richly H.
Illustrated. We see the grand form of
Mount Nephin, at whose foot John Mac
Hale was born, and the vast expanse of
Lake Conn. with it's many islands
stretching out near the MacHale home
stead at Tubbernadine, the ''well Of the
Fenians.'' His first education, like that
of his brothers and sisters, is obtained at
the ''hedge school" of Laherdane, about
a mile distant. There the precocious
boy learns English, without, however,
forgetting his native Gaelic, His pa
ternal grandmother, Ann Mofett. en-
courages the child to cherish his sweet
mother tongue. In after years he was to
be the creator or restorer of the Gaelic
literature in Ireland. We are then in

but the genuine creations Of the Irish
muse. This Callahan filled the ambiti-
GUS boy with an Unsuitable thirst for
knowledge. Then comes classical
course Of Greek and Latin at Patrick
Stanton's school in Castlebar, where
young MacHale made such progress
that he was sent by the Bishop OF KILL
ala to Maynooth in 1907. His success
there may be judged from the fact Of his

THE Dublin Freeman of October Is
says: The death OF the Rev Professor
Galbraith. which it is our sad duty to
announce this week, will arouse a feel
ing of poignant regret not only amongst
those who were privileged to call them
selves his friends. or in the far wider
circle of mis- acquaintance, but through
out all Ireland and amongst our coun~
trymen abroad. An able and versatile
scholar, an eminent divine, an energetic
man of affairs-he had greater claim
to the affection of his countrYmen, in
asmuch as he heartily sympathlsed
with them in their legitimate struggles
for justice. His heart was in the Irish
cause, which Tor twenty years he
strenuously supported, and TO which he
gave the weight of his influence and
the prestige Of his name. He was not
politician from choice or from pre-
judice, but as the result Of mature con-
sideration, which in time ripened into
strong conviction.
