of the most disastrous for Ireland, as
the following statistics will show. Since
the accession OF Queen Victoria, in Ire
land 1,225,ooo died OF starvation, 6ooo,-
900 were evictcd, and 100000 emf
grated, giving total OF 1o,425,oo Irish
people destroyed through English mis-
rule. II the scenes enacted in Ireland
in days gone by have been revolving
ones, equally as bad have been wit
messed within the past few years. The
people assembling in peaceful and
orderly manner to ask for the redress
OF their many grievances have been dis
persed, battered, and shot down by po-
lice and soldiers, and all can remember
the famous, or rather infamous, tele-
gram from an English official to his
subordinate at Mitchelstown on the
morning OF an Irish meeting there
Don't hesitate to shoot!'
With the story OF Ireland's wrongs
and suffering before them, no wonder
the Boer people refuse to surrender
their cherished independence to the
hateful sway Of Britain. England has
been the vampire that drained Ireland S
'ife-blood for centuries, and now her
difficulty is Ireland's opportunity.
| When the American colonists took I'D
arms in defense of their liberties among
the comrades OF the brave Lafayette,
some OF the most conspicuous were
members OF the Irish Brigade, and in a
short time the ominous words were
heard in the English Parliament:
America has been lost through the
Irish?' May not history repeat itself
in South African
lrishmen, you are called upon to join
in the defense and the assertion OF a
peoples liberty, and the sword is blessed
in that sacred cause! The ashes OF
those who have died on the scaffold
and in exile for Ireland repose in many
lands, and to you, the inheritors of their
name and heroic spirit, their martyr
blood cries aloud for vengeance. Let
your arms be ready to strike, your spirit
ready to sacrifice for the accomplish
ment OF that object. Guiltless millions
OF your countrymen have persisted un-
avenged. The time is at hand to avenge
your dead Irshmcn! England's hands
are red with the blood, and her Golfers
are filled with the spoil, OF the Irish
people, and we call upon you to rise as
one man, and seize upon the present
glorious opportunity Of retaliating upon
your ancient foe. Act together and
fight together! Prepare! The end is
in view! The day OF reckoning is. at
hand! Long live the Republic! Irish
men to the rescue! God save ireland!

Holy Father called him his beneiactor,
his savior, his eye opener. The pure
morality OF the Gospel had been sealed

the Holy Father to this man, Pray for
me. l know you are right, but what

a Christian the Cardinals would poison
me-Qaughter)-but you, when you go
back to England, tell all my friends that

AN ECCENTRIC MILESIAN.
Spends Only $1,000 Month of al
Income of $6OOO.OO.

Patrick Driscoll, who owns four OF
the best paying silver and gold mines
in the Chloride Valley Of Mohave coun
ty, Arizona, is commonly supposed to
be worth from $500, 900 to 100000. His
income from his mines is about $4,000
month, and he has block OF stock
in the Santa Fee, Prescott s, Phoenix
railroad that pays him some $4,000 a
year in dividends. He is a bachelor
without kith Or kin in the world that he
knows Of and he spends on himself less
than $50 month, altogether. Every
body in and about Kingman knows Pat
Driscoll and his eccentricities, and many

crous gifts from the Driscoll bank &C
count Several times the bodies Of
Driscolls poor friends in the mines
have been coffined and sent to relatives
in the Eastern states and even to Ire
land at his expense. He came from
the County Antrim in 1853, and was a
prospcctor and laborer I'M the Utah and
Nevada gold ard silver mines for twenty
years. He experienced all the prospec-
tors poverty and hardships until he was
past middle age, when he rited down
10 the Calico mines in San Bernardino
county. California in 1881. There he
found mine which he sold for SIS 600,
and he had his first capital to deal with
in mining on his own hook From Cal
leo he came over into Arizona, and in
two years he located a base ore mina-
chloride proposition. When silver
was valuable his income used to be over
s.. 600 month The Diana and Antrim
mines were his.
He invested his profits in the Har-
qua Haa mines, and doubled his wealth

venomously sarcastic tongues ever put
into the head OF man. He could over
whelm an antagonist with denunciation,
riddle him with invcctive and roast him
alive with the fire OF sarcasm. In his
alteration with Disraeli, O'Connell de-
clared he was one who, ii his geneal-
ogy could be traced, would be found to
be the lneal descendant and true heir
at-law OF the impentent thief who
atoned for his crime upon the cross. y
He said OF Peel, whose unctious man
ner offended him, that he had smile
like the silver plate upon coffin. .
John Randolph, who heard him often,
pronounced O'Connell the first orator
of Europe. Every chord of the harp
of thousand strings" lay open to his
touch, and he played upon it with a
master hand. Disraeli said that his
voice was the finest ever heard in Par
Lament, deep, sonorous, distinct and
flexible. He had no rhetorical trickery
he never attempted to create a sensa-
ton. His bursts of passion displayed
that freshness and genuineness which
art can not initiate. "The listener" said
Mr.. Lecky, seemed almost to follow
the workings OF his mind, to perceive
him hewing his thoughts into rfetoris
with negligent but colossal grandeur
will, the chiscl not OF Canova, but OF a
Michael Angelo" Melting his hearers
at one moment by his pathos, he con-
vused them at the next by his hu,nor.
No actor on the stage surpassed him
in revealing the workings OF the mind
through the windows OF the face, his
whole countcnance spoke, and he
looked every sentiment as it Tell from
his lips. He was really the modern
incarnation OF Ogmius, that god OF
words whom the Gauls worsllipcd, for
out OF his mouth flowed chains to hold
his listeners captive.
The great agitatoi," as O'Corncll
was called, was born king among men,
his very faults and errors had princely
air. He chanlpioned the cause OF hui
mainly without regard to cline, color
or condition. Wherever was heard the
cry of oppression there was also heard
the trumpet voice OF O'Connell rousing
the sympatllies Of mankind, rebuking
the tyrant and uplifting the victim. He
proudly said in one OF his speeches,
quoting Grattan's beautiful sentence,
"Grattan sat by the cradle OF his coun-
try and followed her hearse; it was lett
for me to sound the resurrection trum-
pet and to show that she was not dead,
but sleeping"

MEANINGS OF CHRISTMAS DAM
TIES,

Almost ms important as the gift Civ
ing and glft receiving ON Christmas day
is the feast OF dalntles spread on that
fostnl occasion. But even the Christ
mas dinner has It's origin In the dim.
distant past. Feasts were always the
accompaniment OF any festival. In
Egypt, at the winter solstice. every
family killed and ute goose as re-
llgious Observance.
In the hioroglyphlc language OF the
Egyptian, the figure OF goose was the
word child" The people had noticed
that the goose was remarkable for the
way In which II protected Its young;
hence II was looked upon AZ the SYM
Dol OF great love-that love which IL
willing To sacrifice Itself for the object
OF It's affection. This trait was also
believed to belong to the god they wor-
SHIPPED, no the Egyptians celebrated this
festival by killing and eating u goose.
The plum pudding as n dish In the
Christmas feast has Its meaning. The
number and richness OF Its ingredients
represented the rich gifts which the
kings laid at the feet OF the child Jesus.
In earlier days the mlnce pie. then o
great pastry dish. filled with force
meat and fruits, was made box shaped.
to typify the manager In which the Child
had lain.
