PATRICK SUBJUGATING PAGANISM. (Copyrighted, 1888.} Special Correspondence of THE EvENIsa Stan. Navan, IRELAND, Nov. 20, 1888.—“‘At Temur to-day I place the virtue of the birth of Christ with his baptism, the virtue of his crucifixion with his burial, the virtue of his resurrection with his ascension, the virtue of coming to eternal judgment, “At Temur to-day may the strength of God pilot me, may the power of God preserve me, may the wisdom of God instruct me, may the eye of God view me, may the ear of God hear me, may the word of God render me eloquent.” On an Easter Sunday upwards of 1450 years ago, t us chanting, St, Patrick came up one of the five ancient roads which led to the royal hill of Tara, Eight devoted followers and the outhful Benignus. son of Sechnan, were with the The chieftains and princes of Meath were assembled to celebrate the festival of Belltaine, or fire of Baal, until whose sacred flame was lighted none dare kindle fire in the surrounding country on pain of death, King Laeghaire, prompted by his druids and magi, had invited St. Patrick to discussion with his wise men of the royal palace, but had also treacherously planned the noble missionary’s death on the road from Slane. Of this he knew, but, undaunted, pressed on unharmed. Seated in barbaric state with the greatest per- sonages of the realm around him, King Laeg- haire felt the loving power of Chris- tianity overcome the idolatries of Baal. The king, his arch-poet Dubtach, and the entire court were converted ,throngh the gentleness and eloquence of a humble missionary; and thus and at this very spot was paganism over- thrown in Ireland. THE HILL OF TARA. Whether or not one follows the footsteps of St. Patrick and reaches the hill of Tara from the old Slane road, if he has eyes of sense and soul which see along the shining lines of bardic tradition and the equally luminous ways of authenticated history, a marvelous fascina- tion attaches to the spot and the entire sur- rounding region. The place itself may justly be regarded as the very fountain-head of a rehistoric life and lore more sonorous, event- ‘ul, and winsome to the student of ancient days and ways, than has ever been developed in relations of the wondrous Norse ow ea It is a curious fact that while the subjugation of Irish men, the sequestration of ish fame, and the annihilation of ancient Irish glories. through the pauperization and extirpa- tion of Irish people, have for centuries com- prised the besest and most rigorously active policy of one of the greatest of governments, four stanzas of but four lines each by an Irish poet. the immortal Moore, in an instant re- indled the flames upon every hill-top of love for land, history, tradition, and freedom. ‘The harp that once through Tare’s halls The soul of music shed, Now hanes as mute on Tara’s ‘Ae if that soul hed fea. = * “0 ‘Thus freedom now so seldom wakes ‘The only throb she gives, Is when some heart indignant breaks, ‘To show that still she lives.’ THAT SONG OF MOORE'S, which thrilled the earlier part of our own cen- tury, let the world know there had been a Tara, Dim and voiceless as the words may have been, or throbless as was the melody given the words to those who sang and heard outside of Ireland, it furnished the living fire in every real aspiration by Irishmen for Ire- land. The poets sang again, The starvii tenants labored, prayed, hoped. The men df brains and heart were reawakened. torians begun anew. And these ca unknown souls, the archaeologists and anti- quarians, to whom any land owes infinitely more than can ever be paid, tireless, unvan- peor unknown and unrewar dug, elved and prodded, sifted, compared, re- jected, proved anew, until no land beneath the sun can furnish more clean and noble high- ways from the commonplaces of to-day past illimitable treasure-fields and broadening land- scapes of historic centuries, eventful ages and reinhabited areas, on to the silences of the re- pegaeser! yas than this one; whose people, with a world's sympathy, are struggling for a half of that human liberty which America a quarter century since dared no longer deny her black chattels and slaves.

So far as flowers and delicate viands, spark- wines and fragrant cigars, good company, oquent speeches, and enthusiastic listeners 0, the project of holding a constitutional cele- ration and a world’s exposition here took a ong step forward last night. The banquet given at Willard’s last evening to the visiting members of the board of promotion by citizens of Washington was an event fully in keeping with the character of the great project which both hosts and guests had at heart. The gath- ering included, besides the distinguished visit- ors, many of the leading citizens of Washing- ton. The long dining-room of the hotel was used as a banquet hall. A dozen tables were spread in echelon, so all seemed to face the one in the center. The appointments of the banquet hall were elaborate. The floral deco- rations were profuse and tasteful.

It has almost gone, except the little ex- hibition here and there in our coastwise trade. Let us go back to the principles which our forefathers taught us, Let Americans be fore- most not only on the sea, but everywhere. Let their skill and their enterprise and energy come forth, and when Spain and South America come here we will teach them we are not seltish people, but are anxious to give them all the information we éan that may lead them im the way of progress,” TWO MAYORS SPEAK. Mayor Ellyson, of Richmond, in to the next toast, “American Cities,” said he Indeed, could one view the landscape for miles, instead of but half that distance—say where Slievo-na-Calliagh lifts its peaks, grou ing the most extraordinary ‘ic rem room rose @ miniature Washington monument from the midst of a green — including a part of the reclaimed flats. ‘This design was worked in flowers and showed the location of the proposed ex ion buildings. The menu, too, was of a cl ‘ter = § the occasion. When the coffee was served and cigars lighted Mr. Myron M. Parker, as chairman of the ban- juet committee, began his duties as toast mas- cpening Trish Christia imp? &. Mr. Parker in his introductory remarks at nee re Ly a thousand years said that during the past two years over sixty 0 nati, responded in a graceful speech.

I will, however, be glad to co-operate with all others to make the Proposed exposition a success.” COMMISSIONER WEBB'S SPEECH. District Commissioner Webb responded to the first toast of the evening; which was “The American Capital.” In his speech he said: “This capital of ours is especially the plac where these centennial celebrations should be held—first, the commemoration of the tion of the constitution of the United States, because this city is the offspring of that con- stitution.

TARA’S ANCIENT Pi All this is but the faintest/glimpse of the marvelous surroundings whicbgrew out of the ancient royal glories of Tay—now desolate, grass-grown, all but oblitera#d.

The most ancient gme of Tara was Liath- druim, “the gray engnence.” A later name, Teamhair, meant an gninence commanding a noble prospect. A st! later name, and its last as a pagan royal pflace for great assemblies and festivities, was Temora, or Temur, so called from Thea, wife of Heremon, the first pagan king of universal gvay in Ireland, for which een a splendid pace was built on the spot. ‘he latter name gay also mean =, Tedh and Mur) “the hatse of music,” from Tara’s former celebrity f¢ melody “above all places in the world.” Ig any event ancient and un- questionable authgatic manuscripts clearly de- scribe the uses of fhe halls of Tara as the royal abode of the firg monarchs of Ireland; lace for convocasion of the assembly of state: for festivals and gouncils for peace or war, and for bardic instrugtions and lawgiving. So, too, have authenticatd manuscripts now accessible been found whith give exact information re- garding customs at these great festivals and conventions at/Tara, and the ancient bards have sung of fhe extraordinary grandeur of, and especially ¢f the appearance of monarchs at these occasigns. THE PALACE OF TEMUR, or Tara, it is wld, was 900 feet square; its sur- rounding rath was seven casts of the dart in EX-GOV. M'CREARY'S SPEECH. Ex-Gov.

The festivgls of Tara began on October 28. Three daygwere given to games and feasting. On the thd day and evening, corresponding with Hallgween, the great feast of Sainan, or the moom was celebrated; after which, in- struction, councils, and law-giving were begun, At the mblies the monarch sat on an ele- yated dai in the middle of the great hall, fac- ing the west. The king of Leinster sat before him, fagng him. The king of Ulster was placed ef his right. On the left was the king ofMunskr. And seated behind him was the king of Connaught. Each king wore hisroyal robe agd golden hemlet, but not his diadem, which was reserved for adornment in battle. About fhem were princes, bards, druids,ollhmas, brehops, and all the vast retinue of warriors and réainers of a pagan court. As an illustra~ tion, fhe description of a single monarch, King Cormse, who reigned with great wisdom, jus- tice. snd splendor in the third century, may be given, He was of noble presence, and his shield was of scarlet with engraved devices, sien hooks, and clasps of silver. His wide- g cloak was of purple, clasped to his bFéist by a gem-set gold brooch. A gold torque ag ‘around his neck. His shirt was white- Rethired and embroidered with gold. His gir- ‘@l¢ was golden-buckled, and studded with nes. His sandals were of gold net spears had golden sockets and many red-brown rivets. And he stood in the full glow of beauty, without defect or blemish. roper e cnuimaase SL San, oer York; J. B. Palmer, vice-president Atlantic coast line; Hon. John J. Knox, New York: J. L.
