Is it possible that work of this kind-cannot be executed in Ireland ? Mr. John Redmond, leader of the Irish Parliamentary Parlia-mentary party, addressing an Irish demonstration in Manchester March i'O, said that the first business of the Irish Xationalist members was to strike down the present government anl then see that no government gov-ernment which would not yut home rule to Ireland Ire-land be put in office.

' -H-- The celebrated Abbey of Torryglass, says the Tuam Herald, stands on'the shores of Lough Darg, opposite Portumna. Tho remote period at which the now ruined Abbey (which lies sequestered near the pretty village) was founded, and the number of saints and men illustrious for learning who lie buried within, as well as many other circumstances connected with the place, make everything written of it of interest to those who care for Irish history. The ancient Irish name of Terryglass was written Tir-dha-ghlass which means, according to some, the Placo of the Two Rivers. Dr. Lonigan maintains main-tains that the meaning is ''the Place of the Two Greens." Tho earliest mention' is in the Annals of the Four Masters, where it is recorded that all the inhabitants of Xorth Munster and great numbers of the men of Clare (Thomond) were baptized by St. Patrick at the well in Firglais. The Abbey was founded in the year 54S hy St. Oolumb. He was educated at the celebrated Abbey of C'ionard by tho St. Finian. When ho founded the school and monastery mon-astery of Terryglass the fame of his great acquirements acquire-ments and holiness drew to him from all parts of Ireland great numbers sof disciples men anxious to become holy or learned. In 1009 the Bishop of Terryglass held the Sees of Innis-Caltra and Killa-loo, Killa-loo, and in 110S the head of the monastery waa consecrated Archbishop of Loinster. MATTRTA BAWN.
