 sIreland as I Saw It. was the title of the illustrated lecture delivered by Hon. J. D. Plunkett before 8 large audience at the Hyperion last evening. The address was derived from information obtained by MT. Plunkett during his extended tour of Ire land. The descriptive lecture was of it. self very instructing and interesting, and was rendered much more so by the many beautiful views which accompanied the ad dress. These perfectly displayed views represented many historic localities among them being "Myrtle Grove" the home of Sir Walter Raleigh; Abbey of St. Der nard, /" ''St. Declan's Well," ''Round Tow er," etc. The presentation of the picture of the Irish jaunting car was greeted with liberal applause. MT. Plunkett's address was one of great interest, and all present gave it their undivided attention. The lecture was delivered under the auspices of the Knights of St. Patrick, large num- Der of whom were present and who, after the lecture, repaired to Music hall to ban quot and further celebrate St. Patrick's day.
 MT. Plunkett's theme was 'Ireland As I Saw It." The lecturer described his tour l in Ireland, beginning at Cork, directly through the southern, south-central and eastern part of the island, and the Giants Causeway on the north, ending at Dublin. He took his hearers on the journey up the l. o1o1>c 41I ,ocfo1 rf La Trappe at Mt Melleny, and the castle of Lismore. Then across the Galtees | mountains into the Golden Veil, to the | rock of Cashel and it's wonderful ruins, and over the Devils Bit mountains, through Clonmel and across the plains of Kilkenny, that beautiful inland city, with it's | massive towers and ruined cathedrals, taking in Jere Point Abbey at Thomas l ton on the way. From there the way led ford, northerly up the river Barrow to New Ross, up the hills and down through the valleys of Ovoca, Clara and Glenda- laugh. Thence through the beautiful Devils Glen by picturesque mountains, through Luggalaw and the Glen of the l Downs, and the extensive domain of Powers Court, with it's wonderful water falls and the mysterious glen called the Dargle, emerging into the town of Bray at | the foot of bold mountain called Bray Head. From there across the viaduct of the river Boyne to the city of Drogheda, memorable for the seige of Cromwell and the battle of the Boyne under William of l Orange. Passing Slane castle and explor- ing the ruins of Millifont and Monster boice. the city of Belfast was visited, the Drindical remains and county Antrim ex- | amined and then the Giants Causeway from the Honeycomb across the bridge of Caric-a-rede to tho Ladies' Wishing Chair ! and out through the Giants Gate around the grand old ruins of Dundee castle. Thence to Londonderry, where James II intrenched himself; exploring the castle at Mala- hide, and the ancient ecclesiastical town of Swords, entering the city of Dublin. Sackville street, Nelson's monument, the postofice, the four courts, the rotunda, Stephens green, Christs church cathedral Strongbon's monument, St. Patrick's ca thedral Phoenix park, the Wellington monument, Dublin castle, the Chapel Roy al, college green, with the monuments of Goldsmith, Edmund Burke and Henry Grafton, the Bank of Ireland, with the portraits of Grafton and O'Connell and the monuments and the statues of the lat ter, were all graphically described. After l rehearsing briefly his life and devotion tc the Irish people, MT. Plunkett closed with this tribute to the great patriot
 "Here at last the liberator is at rest. The clarion tones that shook the throne ot England and wrested from her the freedom of seven millions of people, that turned the
 tide of oppression into praises, are silent
 The manly form, the frontal brow of love
 lies here in this hallowed spot, where the liberty-loving people of the world in spiri at least, will come to reverence his mem ory. AS liberator or emancipator he may be known, but when titles shall have van ished, when monuments of stone and meta shall have wasted away under the disinte grating action of the clements, when th' niche of fame in which he stands shal
 have fallen in decay, he will still be knowl
 by the name enshrined in the hearts of tn
 people from whence he came, the proudes and noblest of all the noble names-O'Con nell.
