Mr. E Lynch Blake has sent us seven subscrib¬

cannot hold a candle to them. One is about four
times as long as the piobaire. Their names are;
Naomh Pádraic agus na h-Aithreacha
nimhe.
and
Macrigh Caisleain Buidhe Samhnaidh &
Bhainríoghan Tobar Deireadh an Domhain.
We expect, in a short time, to get out a matrice
to cast type such as is used in Father O'Sullivan's
Imitation of Christ, so that we can print, at least,
six solid Gaelic pages each issue of these interes¬
ing stories. Now let the readers do their share in
drumming up new subscribers.
In the translation of Patric's answer to the Cel¬
tic Tongue, by J Hagerty in last issue, the fol¬
lowing lines were omitted after, Whose echo in
the battle is the thunder in its might:
The tongue that in the chieftain's hall swell'd loud
the minstrel's lay
In all its olden richness is our own again to day,
Whose password's burst upon the foe at Cong and
Mullaghmast.
The following Gaelic matter is held over — a poem
from Mr. D Murphy, St: Charles' College, a poem
from J. J. Lyons, Phila., a story from Mr. R. Hen¬
ebry, Maynooth College, and E Lynch Blake's
stories. They will all appear in time.
Irishmen have cause for congratulation in the
rejection, by the U. S. Senate, of the English ex¬
tradition treaty. It was a nefarious scheme to en¬
trap Irish-Americans, and singular to relate, some
Irishmen who call themselves patriotic did all in
their power to have the treaty become the law of
the land. Should such men be permitted to have
a voice in future Irish patriotic movements in
America ?
