While in Washington l called to see Congressman Gillespie several times and I think can safely say that he will advocate the completion of the lateral canal around Colbert and Bee Tree Shoals Major Knight, who Is in charge of the Tennessee River work will take the same position.

ANTRIM.

On the evening of Oct. 80 Mr.. Alex
ander O'Rorke, solicitor, died at his
residence, Newfoundland. The de-
ceased belonged to an old Irish family,
and was born in the year following
the battle of Waterloo, at Ballybolln,
near Ballymena, on property that
had been in the possession of his fam
lily for generations. His great-grand-
father, who was the last nominal
"Prince of Breffel,' married a Miss
O'Neill of Shane's Castle-one of the
original family of the O'Neills-so that
in the late Mr.. O'Rorke commingled
the blood of perhaps two of the oldest
families and Oldest names in Ireland
He had been for years in Belfast, in
ward O'Rorke who, in his time, was
recognized as one Of the kings of his
profession in Ulster. The late Lord
Russell of INillowen and the late MT.
John Rea both served their apprentice
ship to Mr.. Edward O'Rorke, and both
always spoke in the highest terms Of
the character and capacity of the man
who first taught them the principles
and practice of their profession. Mr..
Alexander O'Rorke some time after
wards opened an office in Ballymena,
and Tor over half century attended
to his professional duties there. For
some years he had been compelled to
give up practice, but he must have
been nearly four score years Of age
before he laid his burden down. He
had reached his S5th year.

On the evening of Oct. 26 sad ac-
cident occurred at Graigue, resulting

n They rose in rude but fierce array,
with saber, pike and skian,
And over many a noble town. and
many field of dead,
They proudly set the Irish green above

q But in the end, throughout the land,
the shameful sight was seen
"A The English red in triumph high above
the Irish green;
But we'll they died in breach and field,
who, as their spirits fled,
4 Still saw the green maintain it's place
above the English red.
And they who saw, in after times, the

Were wthered as the grass that dies
beneath forest screen;
Yet often by this healthy hope their
sinking hearts were fed,
That, in some day to come, the green

Because they could not bear to leave
the red above the green;
n And twas for this that Owen fought
and Sarsfeld nobly bled-
Because their eyes We're hot to see the
green above the red.
So, when the strife began again, oul
darling Irish green
Was down upon the earth, while high
the English red was seen;
Yet still we held our fearless course
for something in us said:
"Before the strife is DER you'll see the
u green above the red.''
And tits for this we think and toll, anC
knowledge strive to CLEAN,
That we may pull the English red be

Va smiling plenty spread,
@ Above the land once dark with blood

IL The Jealous English tyrant now ha:
n bann'd the Irish green,
n And forced us to conceal it like
M something foul and mean;
I And yet, by heavens! he'll sooner rais'
his victims from the dead
Than force our heart to leave the greer
and cotton to the red.
Well trust ourselves, for God is good

On their brave hearts, and not upo1
