TALISMAN OF THE CELTS.
Romance Of the Liza Fail, Curious
Piece Of Stone.


In every strongly Irish newspaper,
either in America or in Ireland there
is the oft repeated threat: "Wait until
we recover the Lila Fail. Then Ire
land win become a republic And the
readers have asked again and again:
what Is the Liza Fail? Where is 1t,
and what is Its magic power?" Those
who remember the Fenian fiasco,
some years ago, will recall the bat
tlecry Of the troops, He for the
Lila Faill" The recovery of this Celtic
talisman, however, would involve
something more than a victory over
some outlying p.ovince OF Great Brit
ain, for Ii Is a part OF the coronation
chair in Westminster Abbey 1t is a
curious piece of stone, little more
than two feet long, and is said to be
the identical stone on which Jacob
rested his head when he had his mar
velous dream. 1t was taken TO Ire
land, according to'tradition, before the
Christian err, and its removal from
that island meant the death Of liberty
and independence to the Celt

conveyed to the Ionian islands, to be
used in a coronation ceremony, and |

Scotland seized and held it as their |
mascot. By Edward /. 1t was carried |
to London among the spoils of war
when the Scottish kingdom began to
totter. The son of Edward attempted
to restore the stone to the Scotch, but

superstition of the English that they
feared for their country. and a mob !
