But. in my heart of hearts feel, tho

On Erin's fertile valley-I would that
I were there.
I've seen proud mountains lift their

Their sublime, awful majesty 'twere

But in my bosom's core feel, that
far moro dear and rare
Are the heath-orowned hills Of Erin

Their vast expanse = homage stirs
within the enraptured soul;
But yet from them to humber streams
my hearts thoughts doth repair

Though saudy plumags decks the
birds that haunt the tropic
groves,
And feathersd sonssters TO their
mates sing sweet 10 tell their

For one sweet bird, my fondest love

would that / were there.
I've roamed through distant lands ad-

Governor Deneen yesterday before
the Engineers club in Chicago made
a lengthy answer to the letter of Sen.
ator Lorimer Governor Deneen con
tended that it would require a channel
"a feet deep to carry away the water
which is discharged through the chan
mel between LOckport and Brandon's S
Road during the flood flow in the
spring and fall, though Lorimer says
such a depth is not necessary.
Depth Maintained in Canada.
To Lorimer's contention that no rea-
son could be given for a depth of Il
feet from Brandon's Road to Utica.
the governor shows that depth of IA
feet is obtained in the 40 locks of the
Canadian-St. Lawrence river system of
canals, and the Erie canal being en-
larged to IA feet. Regarding the
charge that no one had been able to
explain why the sum of 500. .000. 900 was
fixed upon, the governor states that
the federal army engineers estimated
the cost of the waterway from Lock-
port to st. Louis at $3O.OOO.OOO. and
from Lockport to Utica at SIS. .356, 900,
and the internal improvement commits
sion had estimated the project at $19,-
