AN GAODHAL.
from her; and the cry of indignation raised by
patriotic America at the betrayal of the Monroe
Doctrine — an indignation which has permeated
the patriotic American spirirt to such degree as
to cause veterans of the public service to sever
their conneciton with it — in Nicaragua, makes it
reasonably certain that the Irish force in Canada
would not lack either material or moral aid.
The activity of the Orangemen in enlisting re¬
cruits for England in the United States under the
name of A. P. A., is now intelligible. Fearing
tha tthe construction and control of the Nicaragua
Canal by the United States should injure her
South=American trade, England determined
to take possession of Nicaragua, and retain it, e¬
ven had the United States recourse to force to dis¬
lodge her. She calculated on the paper-millions
of the ready-drilled A P A's to fall into her ranks
in her fight with the United States, as their pro¬
totypes of the Revolution, the Tories, did; but
the howl of indignation raised by patriotic Amer¬
ica at the betrayal of the Monroe Doctrine made
her change her mind and hoist her sails from Nic¬
aragua, notwithstanding her A P A allies, and the
seeming friendship of Federal officials.
NEW PUBLICATIONS.
The Life of Saint Ciaran, of Saighir, by the
Rev D. B. Mulcahy, P. P., M. R. I. A., Kilclief.
Co. Down, is a most readable book. The text is

places. It has 90 pages ; no price is named on it
The Visitor, Hartford, Conn., is a new weekly
published by Mr. John F. Conroy, the patriotic
stationer and general merchant of that city. It is
an excellent paper — a very mint of information
on all subjects. The subscription is $1. a year.
We have received the initial number of the
Queen State, published by J W Vincent, at Linn
Creek, Mo. It does not touch on politics or rel¬
igion. It is a monthly, and its price is 50 cents
year. The Gael has many friends in Missouri, and
is, therefore, pleased to see the signs of general
progress extend to Camden county.

tain gratuitous instruction in the language of Ire¬
land by calling at the rooms of the P. C. Society,
263 Bowery, on Thursday evenings from 8 to10,
