Oldest 1risbman Dead.

There has just died ON the peninsula
of Errislanin, near Clifden, on the west
coast of Ireland, an old man named
John MacDone, who had attained the
extraordinary age of 1876 years. He
was known all over the countryside
and the adjacent islands as Patriarch
of Connemarm," says the Dublin Irish
People.
Born in 1776, he had vivid recollec-
tton of the handing of the French un-
der General Humbert, ut Kfala, in
1893. The people did not know that
the French had come to obtain Irish
support, and MacDone remembered
seeing the terrified inhabitants fleeing
to the neighboring rocks and caves for
safety. Some Ga years ago, being then
turned GO years of age, he took part
in the building of Slynehead light,
house.
Twice married, his first wife and
five children were carried off by chol-
era in one day. He afterwards mar
ried a girl Of 1S, named Anne King,
who survives him, and dis now 78 years
old. The present Archbishop of Tuam,
DR.. McEvilly, who Is "a, recalls that
his predecessor told him of MacDone's
history, and the facts of the case are
corroborated by some of the clergy and
other inhabitants of the district. Mar
tin Flaherty, of Poulreve, near Slyne-
head, says that NtacDone was an old
man when he saw him there 60 years
since, but fairly well off, DIN possession
Of some 20 cattle, 80 sheep and a
horse.
Three children of the second wife emil
grated to America; two daughters mar
ried in San Francisco, and they them
selves have grandchildren, so that Mac
Done was also greatgrandfather. Be-
ing thus left without help, he became
poorer and poorer, till he died in a
little stone cabin on the edge of the
Atlantic. He was fervent Catholic,
and he and his wife were wont to re.
cite nightly the Rosary in common in
the tongue of the Gael, for neither
knew q word of English.

eff an individual goes into a quarrel

mitted he can withdraw, acknowledge
his fault, make reparation. But they
say we cannot do this in the case of
nations. Our government cannot arbi-
trate and acknowledge that it was

the present government cannot make

began with a beer drunk, he ended
with gin drunk. Two years ago he

 If the life of California mines be measured by the duration of those abroad, mining will be prominent in dustry here many centuries hence. The tin mines of Cornwall yielded metal in the days of the ancient Phoenicians and their product has been an article of commerce ever since. while many of the copper veins worked by the Ro- mans when in control of Britain are still productive. Some of the mines worked in Peru and Mexico by the Spaniards centuries ago are turning out in these days to be the richest properties in either country.
