THE ERSE LANGUAGE,
A Mellihuous Tongue Still Spoken by Up
wards of Two Million People.


wards of Two Million People.
! We are glad to notice as an event of
literary Importance, says the New
York Sun, the recent organization in
Providence, R. l., of Celtic society,
the object of which is to revive interest
in the mellifluous and influential tongue
of Ireland.
! No other language, having itself no
great masterpiece Of literature, has
had such effect on modern literature as
the Celtic. To it we owe many OF the
fairy tales of our childhood; some of
Shakespeare's plays, some of the Incl
dents detailed in the Arthurian poems,
even some of those in the Divine Com
edy, are drawn from Celtic sources It
was said,of Washington: Mature made
him childless that he might be the
father of his country so it might al
most be said of the Celtic language:
Mature left it childless that it might
be the mother of other iteratures.''
The Celtic language is not dead
language. One-sixth Of the population
of the Emerald isle Gn round numbers,
eight hundred thousand persons under
stand Erse; sixty thousand persons
there know no other language than it;
one-third of the territory of Ireland is
still Celtic, so far as the ability to I'M
derstand the language is concerned,
and upward of two million in this coun-
try and Canada are familiar with the
tongue. The path Of the new society
and Of it predecessors is uphill, but the
ascent has an end. A century ago the
Welsh language was really in worse
case than the Erse is now, but by the
exertions Of scholars and the local
clergy Of Wales 1t was rescued, and to-
day is vigorous both IN Wales and
America. That similar success may
await the Celtic societies Of this coun- !.
try e their patriotic labors we sincere
Hhppe.

A MEMORABLE DAY.
The Earth Enveloped in q Mys-
teriOus Darkness.
FACES and Scientists Alike at Fault for
m Explanation of the Phenomenon
Which Filled the People
with Terror.

The most memorable phenOme non OF
the heavens in modern times was that
dav of remarkable darkness over New
England May 10, 1881. That day, says
awriter IN the Chicago Times, made 9
more profound impression, has been
more written and talked about, than
all the auroras, comets and meteoric
showers within the last five centuries.
The great astronomer Herschel placed
it in the domain of the unexplainable.
So pronounced was the darkness that
Settled down over the earth that fowls
went to their roosts, horses and cattle
showed distress, dogs whined, and
thousands of persons anticipated the
dawn of doom. The great colonial
struggle for American independence
was still in progress, the federal union
was not yet established; there was
that chaotic state that generally pre-
cedes great changes, and there was
considerable rancor in the minds of the
people.
Patriot and royalist each regarded
the ominous sky and the threatening
gloom as the evidence of Heavens dis
pleasure against the other, and the
general conclusion was that the i'm
pending mystery would eliminate in
the fate of Sodom and Gomorrah The
ignorant gave way to all sorts of gro
tesque conjectures, and the few pro-
founder minds were unable to advance
any rational explanation of the very
unusual occurrence.
The legislature of Connecticut was
In session on this ill-omened day, and
most of the members made no secret
of their belief that now had come the
great day foretold in the apocalyptic
vision. A member got up and pro-
posed adjournment. The matter being
open for discussion a legislator named
Davenport arose and said:
''Mr. Speaker, it is either the day of
Judgment or it is not. If it is not there
is no need of adjournment; if it is, de-
sire to be found doing my duty. Let
candles be brought and let business
continue"
But the motion to adjourn was deci-
sively carried, and the lawmakers who

 oct. 29.-A good sized audience at. tended the republican rally last satur. day evening. Joseph Pierpont pre-. sided. Hon. N.

Ely of New Haven, who made short address on subjects mol touched by the previous speaker The glee club rendered two campaign songs in their usual good style.
 Sunday, October 2S, was a lovely dap clear, bright and warm. Churches thronged. A crowd at the Congrega. tional church and there much more promptly than heretofore. The pastor Rev. MT. Lathrop. thanked the people for the improvement in getting there on time, but reminded them of the old saying, Better late than never" His text was from Malachi, 3:10: Bring Ye All the Tithes Into the Store house," etc. After a short explanation of the words of the prophet the speaker proceeded to explain a new method of giving to the various benevolent soci- eties, the salient point of which was by cards, stating what each would give every Sunday, and an envelope for each Sunday of the year. The secresy observed was that no one gift was to be measured by the gift of another. The plan is especially favorable to people who can give but a small amount at time. It has been in suc- cessful operation in several churches in Providence, R. l., and other places. It is hoped it will meet with favor in North Haven.

Evidently the one is too wet, and the other too dry to satisfy the guileless insect. The doors of the wigwam are expected to be opened some time next week, so the tired bee will be pulled in.
