Twenty years ago matrons and

living here would as soon have
thought of going to mass in a bathing

care of children until marriage is kept
up. The promiscuous intercourse Of
young men and maidens so common in

town, who is famous for magnificent

garded the life of an opera singer as

LET my daughter sing to the glory

An Old Bachelor Says That

A woman can only be logical when
she hates man.
Matrimony is about the worst joke
a woman can play OH man.
True friendship between women is
a matter Of doubt with most men.
An old maid sees a lifelong enemy
in every old bachelor she meets.
A man is the most important piece
of furniture in woman's air castle.
The bonds of matrimony would be
more popular if they paid cash divi-
dends.
The relations Of a mans wife al
ways expect more of him than he ex-
poets of himself.
Women love three times; the first is
accidental, the second design, and the
third despair.
y girl only partly returns a mans
affections when she returns his letters
and retains his presents.
Before reaching the age of 80 man
wonders how soon he will marry; after
that he wonders how long he can keep
from it.
When woman calls her husband
fool he wonders if he is fool because
he is her husband or her husband be-
cause he is fool.

1t is an interesting historical fact,
which I have from the Right Rev.
Bishop of the diocese, to whom I am
under obligations for the dates and
several of the incidents mentioned
herein, that regiment of the famous
Irish brigade of France once gar
risoned the ancient Fort San Marco
in this city. At one of the periods
when the British were threatening to
come here and raze the fort and city
to the ground, the King of Spain asked
the King of France for the Irish
brigade to garrison Florida. The King
Of France made answer that he really
could not spare the Irish soldiers, but
he would send one regiment Of the
Irish brigade to Florida. And here
for long time might have been seen
one of the flags which the Irish carried
to victory through the English lines
at Fontenoy.
The intermarriage of Irish soldiers,
officers and civilians of the ancient
garrison town with Spanish and Mi
MORGAN ladies in Florida produced
we'll known racial type of prominence
in the southern states for more than
$50 years. Their are very few south
ern families in Georgia, Florida, Ala
bama, Arkansas, Louisiana and Texas
whose ancestors were in the South a
hundred and odd years ago who have
not in their veins the blood of the
Irish-Spanish and NIinorcan colonists
of Florida. The Minorcans were taken
into Florida 1G0 years ago by the Earl
of Halifax, who kept them in AFFECT
slavery during the English occupation
of Florida-1762 until 1884. The Mi
norcans were Catholics, and during the
twenty years Of English rule they were
the only Catholics in Florida. All the
| Spanish and Irish Catholics left with
the Spanish garrison. Although there
have been no accessions to the Minor
cans from that day to this, Mahonese
the language Of Minorca-is still
spoken here. This evening a band of
young people is going about from
house to house singing hymn to the
Virgin in the Mahonese language.
Spanish and Mahonese have fallen into
disuse here, anL are rarely spoken ex-
cept among the old families and for
the benefit of the old people, of whom
there are many in the nineties, who
like the old customs.

1t always is easier to faSten atten-
ton on what is visible and palpable
than on the possibly more important
elements of the problem which are out
of sight and touch. In Ireland the
land question is the visible and paip-
able grievance. The land has been
taken from the people to enrich lot
of greedy courtiers and royal favorites.
and the people have been living on
sufferance on their native soil. There
has been no legislation too drastic to
correct that evil. The passion of the
people for the land is deeply implanted,
and the more so as their loss of it is
associated with the memories Of all
they and their fathers suffered at tile
hands of their oppressors. 1t suited
the English in seeking a scapegoat for
all their plumbers in Ireland to make
a sacrifice. of the land owners, as this
shifted the chief blame from them to
a class for whom they cared nothing.
And while the grievances of the
tenants were very much in evidence
the spinners and weaNers, the artisans
Of scores of kinds, whose work had
been taken from them by English mis-
government, were not at hand to make
and their work With them. So the
land grievance was treated as the one
Irish trouble, and the landlords We're
blamed not only for the many bad
things they did, but for the general i'm
pOverishing of the country. which was
the result of English maladninistra-
ton. All this has served the English
purpose very admirably. 1t has en-
abled them to shift the blame from
themselves and to say that they have
gone further than any other country in
legislation to restore the pople to the
soil, and have conciliated Irish feeling
to the utmost of their power. If they
have not had success in this they tell
the world, it has not been for want of
goodwill.
That the Irish people are not in a
position to make their will Oh any
point effective by legislation is not Il
reason for their attempting nothing.
Their great League, under it's various
names, has been Il wonderful instance
of tile power exercised by voluntary
associations of the people for national
objects in the absence of Il national
government They have made it I'M
possible for any ruler of Ireland to
ignore their wishes, and they have
been as effective as any trades union
in enforcing their peoples will and
judgment upon an unpatriotic minor
ity. Why not use this power to do
something for the revival of Irish i'll
dustries? In Melbourne, even before
Charles Gavin Duffy gave the colony
protective tariff, there was such Il
feeling about home industries that
several shops found it worth while to
put out the sign: "No British Goods
Sold Here!' Why should not this sign
be seen in every Irish town, and the
power of the League be employed to
secure to patriotic shopkeepers the sup
port and patronage of the people? 1t
would be a use of the boycott which
would touch England ut her tcnderest
spot, and it would do more than any
number of land acts to put Ireland
in position in which no failure of Il
crop would bring famine upon the
country.
