The Celtic Revival.

For half Il century and more, says
the Saturday Evening Post, scholars in
the. British Islands and France, Ger
many and Norway have been decipher
ing; the traces of an ancient civilization
to which Europe owed much of it's adj
vancement. On the margins Of old
manuscripts in, German, French and
Danish libraries were observed notes,
or "glosses," i'll language unknown
even to German scholarship. BY Ger
man lal,ors mainly that language has
been discovered to be the oldest exist
ing form Of Celtic speech, the Irish
spoken by the great missionaries who
founded LuNeuil, Bobbio and st. Gall.
1 Naturally this has reacted OH the
national spirit Of the Irish people,
awakening a purpose to, prevent the
extinctior of the old Gaelic speech Of
Ireland and the, Scottish Highlands.
! The educational society of the British
government has been frankly to seek
it's determination from both countries,
with the result of teaching the young
Gael to forget his native tongue.
The rehabilitation of Gaelic as an
/ important member of the family OF
! Indo-Germanic languages has natu-
rally stimulated these Scotch and Irish.

Il whole literature of Gaelic spirit,
though of English form, and Il large
school of young poets and hovelists is
pcrvadcl by this novel enthusiasm.
Nor is this a mere empty fad. This
Gaelic literature. although very differ
emf from ATacphcrson's travesty of the
Ossianic poems, has an atmosphere of
it's own. There is Il charm of "gla-
mour" about it which suggests the
sad but beautiful history of the Celtic
race. AS Matthew Arnold reminds us,
the Celtic taught the Saxon what he
knows of ''the grand style" in litera-
ture. The Saxon has been the pioneer
of human advance, but the Celt has
followed With the refining influence of
Il fancy welded to beauty. and fruitful
in graceful and noble delight.
The Celtic revival has many sides

lore it has been rescuing from oblivion

which linger among the Highlands and
are still woven on fancy's web il
Western Ireland. In the field of phil
ology and history it is investigating
the structure of Celtic speech. ant

ideas and poetical forms on the intel

DREDGING THl; CHANNEL.
Col. Allen Reports Satisfactory Prog
ress Being Made.


Col. Allen, the engineer officer in charge
of the improvement of the Potomac river,
reports to the War Department that satis-
factory progress is being made by the con-
tractors, the Atlantic. Gulf and Pacific
Company, in dredging the Virginia channel
above the Long bridge. The work contin-
ues day and night. On the 2Ist ultimo S,33S
cubic yards of material were dredged from
the channel in twenty hours. Col. Allen
says that that is the largest amount ever
excavated by a single dredge in a day of
twentyfour hours upon this Improvement.
All the dredged material was conveyed to
the place Of deposit on the reclaimed area
through 1,25o feet of pipe and through a
height Of about fifteen feet above low tide.
The dredged material was soft mud and the
cutting was about seven feet.
Referring 20 the work In the channel
above the Long bridge, Col. Allen says:
This partly completed channel and the
channel recently completed at the entrance
to the Washington channel now admit of
any vessel that can ascend the Potomac,
reaching the wharves in Washington or
Georgetown"
1t is also reported that the dredging at
Mattawoman shoal is nearly completed
and that work will shortly begin at Smiths
Point shoals, farther down the Potomac
These operations are under the project for
dredging channels twenty-four feet deem
and 200 feet wide through bars in the Po-
tomac below the city of Washington. at a
total cost not to exceed $4,000 The work
at Mattawoman shoals has recently been
confined to the removal of Jumps and ridges
left in the channel at the close of last sea-
sons operations, and for the removal of the
material everything the hard bars MOSTLY
