streamers Of red, white and blue, hung
from the iron trusses near the roof, and
held in place by bright colered shields.

was made laughing stock. When
about to solve the Irish question by
succeeding in trade and divertins from
the too prevalent farming life, acts were
passed that prevented expectations, and
Ireland was excluded from the Nayipa-
ton Act.
"As il all these wrongs in life were
not enough TO heap on a man singulasly

hating lie, he was wronged in death.
He was wronged Of grave. For him
