women) . Certaiu, at all events, thnt Ireland has had and still has an extra rJrclinary number <1f men whose voices are powers in the land, and whose influence is mi o·htv as the bre:1th of strong w.ind ~ . A cnrefnl r e<tder

b • .

of history mn y easily observe that el oquen<:e flourishes most in sta tes during clistmbed times. Take Greece, for instance, and it is just when Philip with his .l\hcerlo­nians is invading her ~aored territorif'S that the thunrie rs of Demosthenes echo forth from his ocean caves an<i shake the whole of Greece. So in Rome, tbe conspira cy of Cntaline called forth tbe most brilliant efforts of Cicero's eloquence. We shall find it so a lso in Ireland, and certainly here there is no lack of opportunity, for the existence of the nation, for years innumerable, has heen a continued and b:ttn struggle. To rf"all then th0 name~, a few only it must nofrls be, of those champions of rig ht who have thundered against British oppression and have thereby won b:tck for old Ireland some of her lost liberties, must be interesting for all young Irish­men who can fee l that noble, that generous feeling for the mother land which we call patriotism.

As the time is very limited I will be obliged to om it ninny who desen·e more than a mere passing notice and I will dwell more at :length on the two whom T have selected. Amoug these O'Connell, whose frer1uent potrait I've seen gracing . the mansions of the rich and the hovels of the poor, and who is so near and denr to every Irishman, is and ought to he the first. He was born in thf! county Kerry, in the year 1775. At the :.ge of thirteen he was adopted by his uncle Maurice, who, f'eeing his bright qualities, sent him to a Rev. Mr. Har­rington, so as to secure a goorl edu<'ation. After spend­ing one year, he went to St. Orner's College, in France. While there he procured a reputation tha t remained with him forever. A short time elapsed, and then he was admitted to the bar . .Daniel O'Co)lnell wn-sno doubt tbe. ab.lest as well as the hardest-working advocate in Dub­lin. Early in the morning, like DP.rn osthenes, you wou ld see him poring over the books of t l1o law, anri should

you happen in tho oorirmi of the same day to stroll down to the Four Courts, you would not be a little surprised to find the object o{ your pity mir11culon sly trausferred ft·om the severe recluse ot ti1e m orning into one of the most bustling au rl j oyous pet·so~~ge in that bttsy s<.:ene. By tile hour of three, when the judges RS­ually rise, y ou will h::we seeu hin go through aFl :a­mount of business, tho prepn-ration fm· ancl Lbe perform­ance of which w ould be sufficient to ~'onr down -an or­dinary eonsti t u tion and you na turally suppose that the remaining portion of the ·clay must of n~cessity be de­voted to recreation a 11d repo:e. But lwre ng,: tin you will be mistaken; for it is snf<'l, shou l<'l yun feel rlisposr d, as you return from tl·•e court.s, drop into any o£ the pnblic ineeting,: , that are a lr_9ost da.i·ly held fvr some pnrpose, to a certainty y ou will fi11cl the ·•Counsellor" there be­fore _you, tile presiding spirit of the scen e, ·•riding in t:.e wb i rl winrl r,ncl cl irecting the storm of popular de­b ate, with strength of lung·s, and fresh . abundance of animation, as if he had that mom ent startefl f~esh for the labors of Lhe clay ." Then i£ you · would go any fur­ther, you would see him at public dinners, where he de livers halftt dozou speeches in praise of Iteland. H e retires at a late hom to repair the wear an<'! tear of the day by a short interval of reposP, and is sure to be founJ before dawn break riext morning at his solitnry post, recommencing the routine of his l•usy ltfe.

He won b.is first. laurels as ai1 ad vocate· and rose swiftly to the l1i ghe~t rank in his profession. In man­aging a case, vigilance a nd cn,ution were his leading characteristics. In criminal caseo he playa··] the part of an indignant lawyer to perfect:ion. In C;.tSOs of .legq,~ie><, or disputed estates, he is reported to hfl.v e bee n uuri v­alled for bis tact, shrewdness and presence of rni11d, Her!

especially fnr understanding the details of uusin ess . As a popular orator, before a miscellaneous anrlienc£>, ·. O'Connell had few equals. John Randolph pronounc­ed him the first orlttor in E:trope. Every ch<·rri of the harp of a thousand strings !fl.y open to his tou cl1, an<l he played up :)D it witn a master hanrl His voiee, wl.ticlJ · Disraeli aclmittecl tO have been the finest over heard in Parliament, was deep, sonorous anCJ flexible. In its tran­sitions, from the highest to the lowest notes, it was won­drously effective. All who heard him were enchanted by its swelling and sinking waves of sound , its quiet and soft cadences of beauty, a lienated J:>a.ss notes of gmndenr; and even its ''divinely managed broguo''ad. ded not a little to its charms.

The most remarkable traits in the orator:y of O'Con­nell are the lofty motives that prompted it; the .noble cause that lit up his whole • being.

umphs of .our day speak~rs; a yictory that loosened the shamefl1L bands that bigotry had imposed upon tue fair limbs of a gallant nation, a victory which has re­st("lJ'ed their dear worship . to· thousands, millions of hOnest lrishmen; a victory WUich has opened the 0rys- . tal springs of Catholic education to the panting lips of Irish chilrlllood, and which has made Lhe whole land re­sound with the prayer, the doctrine and the song of the grandest of worships-and that victory, gentlemen, yon have alreaily divined ·it, was Catholic Emancipation won fi'Otn the most bitter of English assemblies by the genius of the immortal O'Connell! Never did man work as be dirl. He was determined to win and he spent sleepless nights, anrl deprived himself of going in com. pany. It is said. that he went without a bite to eat for days, employing his time on thb bill of Emancipation, which made him . known all over the ·civilized world. He Bever was anxibus to create a sensation 'and be ad­mired. "Of the thousands and tens of thousands wbo heard him, whethet· haranguing the multitude on his route, from his coach roof, not a person ever dreamed that a sentence had been pre-studied." One of his list­eners has said that there was no chord of feeling that he could riot strike with power. }\fe lting his bearers at one moment by his pathos, he' convuhsed them at the next by his humor. The Liberator as he wm; justly called, rlied in the year 18<17, ~~t the ripe age of 72, and well may uis memory Ji ve and be trea,;ured a~ having beeu one of the brightest ornaments of Ireland's galaxy of geHiuses- 3miuently deserving the lasting gratitude of his countrymen and the admiration of mapldnrl.

Of the many other famous orators who stand fore­most among Irelanrl's men of genius Henry Grattan is the greatest. In his curliest youth he showed a remark­able taste for oratory, and he begll.ll to eultivate it as soon as he left college. While rending law in London, h~:! fell under the spell ot Chatham's elvquence, and from thai moment everything ·else was forgotten, in the one great aim of cultivating his powers as a public speaker. An amusing anecdote is told of him ·: 'His land­ladv, some have reporterl, in London wrote ·to his friends, tlutt he shoulrl be removed, as he was always pacing her garden addressing sol'Ile person whom be r.alled Mr. Speaker, which fact led her to doubt the sanity of her lodger. At first, on account of his bash­iulness and excess of gesture, and the lack ofmodulation h1 llisvoice,hemetwi~h but moderate success~ Laboring under many physical and int6llectual disadvantages, sho~ in statm~e and unprepossessing in appearance, almost sweeping the ground w~th his gestures; so that the motion of his ~+rms were compared to the rolling of a ship in a heavy sw-ell; nevertheless he became on~ of the ~-·eatest masters of oratory within the walls of St. Ste­phel: . Hi :;argt''llents wereconden~edwithsucl:iadmirable I

force and clearness, ' that they assumed almost the. ap. pearance and real weight of axioms. His chief aim ·was not so m uoh to cvnduct his bearers through long tr!tins (If reasoning, as to give them the concrete resu Its of re<1son ilseH7 riot to leaci thBir · 'mind :> 'to the · under­sta.nning of a question by a slow, tedious, logical pro­cess, ·hut by a single fl.c.tsh to fill thew. with clearest convic·tion.lt is this brilliant, imp LSSioned ardor, this impetuous movement, which pre-eminently di;; ting­uishes the o~ato~y Of Grattan, ·and impresses the rea­der of his speeches even rpore, perhaps, than h:s profound knowledge, his wisdom, and his exquisite diction , which we know: not for what quality most . t,o ad wire: for its force, eloquence and precision, or f~)r ·t.bat grand music of cadence, in which Grattan staQ.ds among all orators supreme. He spoke so. as to chur.m his hearers, and at the same time t'o. instr.uot future generation,;. What can be finer than t.he close of his gre::.t speech in 1870, on moving a declaration?. He declared: "I have no am­bition, unless it be to: break your chains, and to con- · template your glory. I will never be ~atisfied so long as the meanest cottager in Ireland has a li11k of the British chain clan'king to his rags. He may be naked, he shall not .be in irons. And I now see the time at hand; the spirit bas gone forti!, the declaration is plant­ed, and though 'great men shall fall <)ff, yet the immor-

. t.al fire shall outlast thehumble organ w~o conveys it, and th.e breath of liherty, like the word of the holy man will not die with ~be prophet, but will survive him." The speech.fr•)m which this is taken is perhaps the fiuest e:ffo~t of Grattan's genius. Another one of Grattan's electric ·speeches was delivered when he was prostrated with disease, lind so feeble that he could not walk without help. It is in thi:l speP.c.h he says: "Yet I do not give up my country. I see her in a swoon, yet she is not dead. Though in her tomb she ·Jies, helpless and motionless, still there is on her lips a spirit of life, and on her cheeks a glow of beauty.'' His name will ever be · a~sociated with the grand patriotic schemes of warm­hearted Irishmen, and with acbeivenients worthy of his superior mind. Grattan was pre-eminently a born orator. Historiai1s say . that he harl the power of investing the hum blest theme with a sudden magnitude and even the grievances of a ca'>ual impost, the delinquencies of the police, the artifices of an election, or the formal­ities ofa measure of finance became under his hand historic subjects, and were associated with recollections

. of intellectual triumph. · Now kind listeners, I have endeavonid to point out

LA LANGUE FRANCAISE.

M * * . *

Certains Anglais de notre pays se sont d(:rnièrement occupés de notre langue. On a dit que les Canadiens Français a.ppt·ennent mieux l'anglais que les Anglais n'apprennent le français; on a répondu que nous avions tout intérêt à apprendre la langue de la majorité, tand is que les Anglais pouvaiênt presque mépriser la nôtre, ce dont plusieurs ne s'abstiennent aussi qu'avec pei-ne.

Des esprits plus larges et pins justes ont trouvé qu'­il y avait Intérêt et grand avantage des deux côtés à

ne pas négliger d'apprendre ces deux belles langues. Au sièCle positif oi'l nous vi v ons, il ne faut rien négliger, rien mépriser de ce qui nous apporte une plus value in­tellectuelle ; et les relations entre peuples sont trop mul­tiples, les communications sont maintenant trop faciles entre les pays, même ceux que séparent les mers, ponr qu'il ne soit pas éminemment avantageux de parler plusieurs langues.

En attendant que le volapuk ait mis l'idiome univer­sel à la disposition, sans doute, de la raison universelle, les tentatives que l'on fait. pom en accréditer l'usage rlémontrent assez Je besoin 11u'ont les peuples de se com­prendre.

En Amérique surtout le mélange des races et des na­tionalités fait une impérieuse néceE>sité èe ce qui n'est qu'un besoin d'utilité ailleurs.

Chez nous, au Canada, nous avons généreusement combattu, et notre résistance énergique au pouvoir du vainqueur· nous a conservé nott~ langue avec les pri­viléges que l'on sait.

Nous pouvons bien maintenant, pour d'autres avan­tages, nous dirons même selon les hesoins du temps, ap­prendre la langue de nos voisins et de nos maîLres.

Son site est à 1050.pieds au-dessus du niveau de la met· et dans un petit coin privil égié des Ardennes. La ville f'St entamée d'une chHÎJÙ~ de montngries qui la préserve des vents violents et qui lui ménngent un climat tem­péré. Sa population rési<lente n'est qne cl'environ 9000 âmes, mais ses nombreux et rh:hes hôtels annoncent une· vraie population de touristes. On dit que la belle saison am ène ordinairement de 10 à 15,000 étrangers qui prennent leurs · ébats HU milieu ties .. eaux, des jeux, et' de tons les . amusements que l'on sait créer chnqnc joar. u Il magnifique boulevard orné Qe quatre rangée~

Deux cte ces installations snrt out corn pren-nent dans leur splendides édific.es, des se!'res, des salles de lectures, des buvP.ttes, etc. L'one d'elles a coûté 360-000 dollars, et c'est qHelque chose par ici.

JI n·ous fait plnisir d!apprendre q~e ·l\1. l'abbé Treffi,é . Oui met a été nommé au con:ùnencem.ent du mois cvré .des Canadiens-fmnçais de Kensington, de Pullman et des au.tres places environnantes.

Il y a là environ 125 familles canadiennes françaises dont les chefs, pour la plupart, so~t employés ~ la grande boutique de Pullman OÙ sont construits les somptueux chars-dortoirs qui portent ce 1iom.

Dans Pullman, Kensington, Guénan, Roselnn, places qui se tiennent les unes aux autrt>s, 1'1. pùpnlation est d'environ 12,000 âi:rl._es.

Il n'y a pas encore là d'église cn.nadienne. Le Père ,Ouimet est chargé d'en constuire une.

On nous dit que les Canadiens ont bonne volonté et qu'ils sauront seconder les efforts de leur nouveau curé. Nous leur souhaitons le succès, qui né manquera pas de èo'ùronrter lem sacrifices pour le bien de la religion et d..e la nationalité.

Lê Pèi·e Ouimet a été vicairè à l'église Notre-Dame des Canadiens de Chie~go, et dèpuis un an il était vi­caire . à l'égli:;e Ste . . Marie SUl' la rue Wabash, même ville. ·

Les Canadien!'! ont été souvent l'tmtendre prêcher en langue anglaise dans cette église remplie d'américains éminents. Il nous fait plaisir de voir des nôtres se dis­Jinguer chez les étrangers.

On nous apprend aussi que notre ami le Dr. Elz. Pa­Cluin d'Oconto, Wis., s'est rendu en' même temps à Pullman et à Kensington pour s'y ét<tblir. ·

UNE fLEUR AU COLISEE.

Il y an't longtemps que je n'étais pas entré au Colisée. D.epui~ quelques jours, leprintempséta-it venu :Hire d'aile sur les vents utiédis. Le soleil, qui jadis semblait se ca­cher sous les sombres nuages pour ne pas voir les spec­tacles sanglants dont se r?jouissait le peuple romain dans cette arène, y versait sa lumière d'or comme sur une corbeil1e de fleurs.

Mille ·oiseaux chantaient; les fleui·s s' épanOtiissa ient, fleltrs de neige, fleurs de pourpre, fleurs d'azur.

Au milieu du Colisée, s'élevait une .croix >'Ur -laquelle un oiseau chantait.

Alors j'eus une pensée, ou plutôt une vision. Il me semblait voir, au pied de la croix dan-3 une touffe d'her­be, une marguerite blanche t&.chetée de san()'· J·e m'en

""' approchai pour la cueillir. Mais un autre objet attira mon attention. Je croyais

voir un homme, un chrétien blessé mortéllem~n t; je re­connais en lui, malgré l'ombre éternelle qui hi couvrait déjà de son voile, un père, un frère, un enfant.

Il était Gaulois. Quelle puissance, ô Dieu, anz-vous donné aux liens du sang! Lui aussi me recoHn.ut et me sourit d'un sourire qui n'est pas de ce monde.

Dans sa poitrine découverte. s'ouvrait une profonde blessure par où sa vie s'enfuyait, car le sang coulait l\ grands flots. La tête était déjà entourée de l'auréole des martyrs.

Le pauvre mourant me fit un signe; je_ m'approchai, et il parla ainsi :-"Longtemps, on m'a tenu dans c0tt.e sombre· prison, on m'a offert la vie, la liberté, les hon­neurs, à condition d'abjurer je Christ.

Le Christ m'a visité ici dans la personne de son Pon­tife qui me donna le Baptême. J'ai reçu dans ce sacre­ment la force de tout fouler aux pieds. On m'a fait lan­guir dans les cachots p6ur ébranler mon courage.

On m'a donné à boire la coupe d'amertume· mais ' ' éelairé d'une lumière divine, je vis cette coupe débor-

dant du miel des ·anges, de la paix éternelle: alors je bus à longs traits.

On me perça le cœur d'un glaive tranchant: je meurs pour Dieu. Gloire au Christ et pour l'éternité·! l'uisse sa lumière luire sur mon épouse et mes enfants que j'ai laissés dans ma cabane des Gaules"!

Il dit: et, avec son âme s'envolant au ciel, la vision disparut. Je m'apt>rochai de l'arcade où j'avais vu une, fleur blanehe, tachetée de sang. Jela cueillis et l'empor­tai sur mon cœur: c'est ,}a fieur du martyre.

But there is need of more than thi . .,, of more than music, wb.i0h aftPr a ll speaks more to the soul, to those fin er sensibiliLies of o tn· being; for you all know, men, and l.loys especially, are borly as well as soul-they are physical as well as spiritu:d, and hence the necessity also in college of ot·ganizations for the propt>.r develop­ment of our phy isica l capab ilities. And the nt>cessity is the more evident as the life of the student is one cumparflti vc ly at 1e::tst of bodil_v iuactio,, almost of studio tis Cflp tiv ity, constant and silent poring and bend­jq~· OVN' d a.ily tasks.

There are the things we 'need, la dies and gent.lemen, which y our generous patronage wil\ amply enable us to provide and therefore do we thank you. Yon perhaps do not imagine how mueh bette1•

a boy can p lay ball, when he has a suit on. I assure y ou it m!lkes a great deal of difference. Though a snit ; ~ uot as indispensable as ball and bat, still it plays an iU1 pOt tant p:wt in the boy's gflme. It makes him lio-hter

Du·r:ing· the long, dull and uneventful evenings of w1ntet· when everything is chill, dark and dreary, what is better cal­cnlated to cheer and enliven college life than an elegant snd an imated drill? Nothing. This have onr young cadets enjoyed d·uring the winter season. Rut those who know anything nbont soldier:;, the way they make t hem now, know very well that neve!· clo i>OJdiers· drill better, carry themselves strdighter, arid feel prourler · tllan when tlw eyes vi admirers are upon them. Hence also will the b uys much nppreciate your presence b~re to-nig ht.

EXCHANGES.

The High School World !or May has been survey­ing the fields of it::! labors for the year and credits it­self with many substantial changes and great general im~ro~ements; iL sees room for much to be done yet, whiCh 1t hopes the coming managers may effect. At present it is c~rtainly a very presentable and lleat. Jour- l

nal an rl we hope it. will be notilino- less in the comiua years. o n. S:1.y Owl, i t's easier to dio.;tin~ui sh German from Greek

tl.Jan to see the point in your joke ( ?). A Yery cre<l itabie nrticle appeared in the April No.

oftue;Ge01'_qetown CollegeJ ozwnal entit led t he ''Funct­ion of Litera.ry Cri ticism." fu it the wr iter very ab ly rev iews the present tendencies of modr.rn cri ticism , showing the parti 0~lari ty that det<"·rs the average ci-itic from presenting a fair est im>tte of a w1:iter's productilllls. A fter taking a thorongh view of the field, tbe writer concludes: ''Tbe best cri t icism is that given by a per­fect stranger, wbo cares not whether he pl eases or of­fends ; who entertain3 no malice against the au thOt', and who is influ enced by no f<tlse restr ietions of friend­ship ; who can sit down after carefully analyzing a work and putting it t ogether pgain to compare calmly what t he author has actually accomplished with what lie in­intended to ac<·om plish. This 'is ti1e actual function of critic ism, and as s~ch it cannot fail to fill the great want in the litf1 rature of the age; to expunge the useless -prattle of idle scribblers ; to bring the best thoughts in the world within the reach of the eager scholars, and to pave thP. way for a bright future of inventive g~nius."

That's a funu y thing in the Rambler for April: " The fun ctions of secret societie~." That the writer had a poor ideaof his subject is only too apparent. He begins by Secret Societies, perhaps he re fer:~ to Masons or Odd-fellows, and without knl>Wing it he is soon e:xbausting himself on the merit.s of a College debat.ing society! In sustain­ing the first he say~: ''l\1en wan led something they did not find within doors and it was so ught and found in fraternities." Yes, men exchange home, the source of peace and true manhood I or the secret society, the bot­bed of modern socialism and infidelity; is it wonderful that the world is swayed by auan:hy and rebelli<>n? Yet this snge oftbe "Granite State" uph•)]ds secret societies. Now one would think that til is Anthropoid would be the most tolerant of persons towards societies; oh no! Masons, etc., are the beau . ideals of soft heads, but Jesuitical societies are something that every honest man shou ld rise up and condemn, This is the opinion of the Granite-headed urchin of New Hampshixe. 0 ye gods and l ittle fishes, that sucll inte ll ects should be hidcen from mankind, that this "Solomon" should be kept from enlightening this world of darkness! Now JitL!e man, this cold world will hardly ever give yon the reward that yon deserve: tar and f eathers. So we would ad vise you to go further up the mountains, form a se­cret soeiety of which you shall be the entire body, high muck-a-mick, etc., and there ripen yourself and your ideas of societies, for both are very green. In the mean­time keep cool, nnd eat more vegetables, goats Ehou ld not always eat old botUes, they might get too sharp.
