The Top Hat.

Tall hats. "pearkin up like the spire of a steeple a quarter of yard above the crowue" us sixteenth century writer describes them. were known In the time of Elizabeth. and the Puri- tans affected them until they merged into the old fashioned beavers of our great gra ndfathers' days Top hats of silk appeared first in Florence about 1890. and twenty years later sils hats with felt bodies were introduced into England About lSto the French silk hat was placed on the market and al once adopted in the familiar chimney pot shape. There were several sari. cities of it. such as the Wellington hat. with the yeoman crown; the Angtesea hat. bell shaped at the top. and the D'orsay hat. with ribbed silk binding and big bow. The color also varied. Thus the Earl of Harrington started a craze for green top hats by wearing one in hls garden with the idea of not frightening the birds He also tested his silk hats by standing upon them. The top hat. however. was never so favored by any great parsonage as to account for it's general adeption.-Lon- don Answerss

Irjshmen and Sons of lrishmen in the
 American Revolution.
RTi

It k an erroneous impression that the volume of our Irish immigration did not reach significant proportions until the famine year of isi7. The tm- migration of lrishmen Is recorded In the annals of New England as early as | 1884. when the General Court Of Mas. | sachusetts granted land on the Merri- mac River to certain Irish and Scotch | settlers.
 After the invasion of Ireland by Cromwell, there were thousands Of IT, ish arrivals in New England. In l77d the War of King Philip against the | New Colonists broke out In recent magazine article, by the late Thomas Hamilton Murray, gives the names oi IA Irishmen who fought with the colonists against the Indians led by Philip.
 Irish immigration became noticeaoly large in the early years of the 18th cen' tury, and II included not few arrivals who were afterwards distinguished in Colonial history. IL had been quick ened after the accession of William and Mary, when harsh and rctaliatory mea. sures against Irish trade were enacted by the Bl,tish Parliament. One oi these Irish pioneers in America was James Logan of Lurgan, who came over in i69a and settled in Pennsylva. nia.
 Several irish colonies soon sprapl into existeace in the same State, and
 as early as i7S0 we find some of its | towns chrls,ened Derry, Donegal, Ty' rome and tolcraine. In the year I2s l according io Holmes Annals of Anne | ficn, b,e55 Irishmen arrived al the port | ef Philadelphia, as against only 5it from Ensianu, scotland aud N.ses, ,s Eroude, the historian, tells us of ont | year in the eiehtecnth century, when 1 2n,nO0 Irish enigranls settled in tht | New England colonies. In New York in lf2o Charles Clinton, a county Long
 ford man, founded home. He Wal | the father of General Clinton and ths grandfather of he Witt Clinton, tht | proieclor of the Erie canal.
