A n-astail mar ċuḃar na d-tun, mar

PERSONAL,
O’Neill Russell. — Mr. T.O. Russell is not for-
getting the Music of Ireland notwithstanding all
the time he devotes to the cultivation of her lan-
guage. He is working hard and effectually in the
"Chicago Citizen” to bring it before the Celtic
public. By the by, Mr. Finerty, the accomplished
proprietor of the Citizen is a member of the N. Y.
S. P. I. L.
Rossa. — O'Donovan Rossa keeps a standing ad¬
vertisement of the Gaodhal in his truly patriotic
paper, the United Irishman, gratuitously, not-
withstanding that the Gaodhal differs in its ideas
of current events from the Irishman (the Gaodhal
being a thorough Land Leaguer) However, we have
every confidence in Rossa’s honesty of purpose; no
one can point a finger to him and say that any
monies sent to him for patriotic purposes stuck to
him, when thousands of dollars were raised thro'
his energy and perseverance, for the Skermishing
Fund, he did not stick to it nor it to him We read
the U. Irishman with interest; we believe in its
principles, we differ in this. — that we take all we
can get, be it great or small, pending the ultimate
freedom of our country, which freedom can never
be attained, in our opinion, except by fire and
sword.
Croke. — We are glad to learn that Archbishop
Croke has been elected patron of the Irish Lan-
guage movement in Ireland in the room of the late
lamented Dr. MacHale.
The Gaodhal returns thanks to Mr. Jas. Gibson
of Patterson N. J. for his successful exertions in
its behalf, we have received subscriptions through
him from Mr. Jas. O’Byrne, Joseph O’Keefe, Mr.
Nolan, D. Hayes, P. E. Quinn, J. Purcell, M. Bren-
nan, J. Delaney, J. Towher, J. Gallagher, and from
Mrs. Nora Barry, Mary Johnston, Miss. Fitzgerald
and Mary Flaherty, also his own. If there were
many like him the Gaodhal would soon be a large
journal.
ANSWERS to CORRESPONDENTS.
B. S. St. Louis Mo. — Subscriptions to news pa-
pers and other journals are invariably paid in ad¬
vance; the Gaodhal is no exception to the general
rule.
D. P. Scranton Pa. — The Annals of the Four
Masters is dear and not easily procured, we saw
one some time ago and its price was forty Dollars;
we shall always be pleased to receive friendly sug-
gestions.
The Annual Reunion and Ball of the New York
Society P. I. L. comes off immediately after Easter.
The proceeds are to be applied to the furtherance
of the Irish Language movement. Aside from the
usual excellence of the society's reunions, the object
should draw a full house.
The Brooklyn Philo Celtic Soceety's Annual re-
union comes off about the 20th., of April. This so-
ciety's entertainments are looked to now as the affairs
of the season.
As we were going to press we received a com-
munication from Mr. P. J. O'Daly of Boston en-
closing eleven subscriptions for the GAODHAL, sub-
scribers names will appear in the next issue.
