OBITUARY.
CAPTAIN JOHN EGAN.
Mr. Martin P. Ward of San Francisco, has sent
us four closely written pages of foolscap paper
on the death of the late Captain John Egan of
San Francisco, describing what he has done for
the Gaelic cause and for every other movement
tending to elevate his unfortunate country to her
legitimate rank among the sovereign nations of
the world, but we regret that our space is too li¬
mited to give scope to our friend Ward's generous
and loving impulses regarding his departed, la¬
mented friend.
Captain Egan was a native of Shanagolden, Co.
Limerick, and our old readers will remember the
Irish of it,
"Sean Ġualainn"
in his Gaelic contributions to the Gael.
As in Irish language matters, Capt. Egan, with
Messrs. Deasy, O'Mahony, McGrath etc. was the
life and soul of everything relating to Ireland on
the Pacific Slope. The Nation of San Francisco,
in a late issue, contained resolutions by the Phi¬
lo-Celtic Society expressive of their sorrow for
the death, and reciting the many virtues, of their
associate and Brother, Capt. Egan. In the death
of Capt. Egan, and Rev. Father Shalloe, Sheens¬
boro' Canada, the Gael has lost two friends not
easy to duplicate; not a six cents a year came
from these departed patriots but five dollar bills,
with injunctons of secrecy.

The one blot on the name and fame of the late
John Boyle O'Reilly to whose memory a monu¬
ment is about to be raised in Boston, is his parti¬
cipation in the movement to raise $5,000 reward
for the arrest and conviction of the slayers of the
English officials in the Phoenix Park, Dublin,
some years ago. We have not heard of an En¬
glishman who has offered to raise a cent to pros¬
ecute the British raiders of the Transvaal!
What will our Irish (?) Anglo-maniacs do a few
years hence when the Russian Bear gives a more
vigorous prod to the collapsing British balloon?
