THE o's OF IRELAND.

In the list of the senators at Wash
ington notice nearly a score OF
names which, in their Irish form,
should have the 20 descendant pre-
fixed. That splendid o belongs to a
patriarchal civilization now dead and
gone forevermore. But should not that
link with the childhood of the world
be preserved, julius Caesar made note
of H.. for in his dispatches from Gaul
or France. to Rome, he speaks OF the
Unelh ,Latin of III Neil. which is the
plural Of O'NeilD showing the regal
clan to have been prominent I'm the
early days when Irish was spoken from
Aran to the Black Sea- The Greeks
knew Il. for the O in its older form of
'hua" is related 20 the Greek "hulos,

been borne from the dawn OF history
by the highest of the Milesian.clans of
Ireland. as Nj Mali. descendants of
Mall of the Nine Hostages, VI BRIAN,
descendants Of his brother Brian. In
its singular form IL has been borne
from the tenth century by families
which from their proved antiquity, so.
cial supremacy and traditions Of cul-
turc are easily the bluest blooded In
Europe.
Two striking facts bear witness to

held. The o was never prefixed 10

cepted. the prefix Mac (son) having
been always used In such cases. AZ
Macl3alrd (now Ward), son OF the
bard or minstrel. And suTnames thus
formed never ranked so high among
the Irish as those formed from the
names OF chieftains. The o. moreover
was never preflxed To names begin
ming with the word "Giolla" (servant
or votary), now Gill and Kill. ODon-
ovan says
Throughout the annals Of the -Four
Masters only one O'Giolla. namely,

cendant OF st. Patricia o.curs, and
that only in one instance, and / have

How many OF our other prejudiceS
and predictions have been trans.

ars who laid the foundations OF mod o.
