ritics for his recognition of the necessity of implicit military obedience, for the cheerfulness with which he endures the privations and hardships incident to a military life, and for his daring impetuosity in battle. Look to it that you maintain that character. Sir Charles Napier has borne the highest compliment to the merits of a disciplined Irish regiment in the account which he gives of the one led by him at the battle of Meeanee, in the war of Scinde, and which he calls magnificent Tipperary! With this single corps of but four hundred men and two thousand native troops, he encountered and defeated twenty-eight thousand of the warlike Beloochees. (Great cheering.) Of the decisive charge with the bayonet he glowingly tells us how this thoroughly disciplined Irish regiment moved as on a review across a plain swept by the fire of the enemy, the men keeping touch and step, and looking steadfastly in the faces of their foe. (Cheers.) These are examples of Irish valor, when regulat

e persist in popular memory side by side with songs like Juanita or Lorena, or the later After the ball. Every collector of folk-song comes upon pieces of this type far oftener than upon songs commemorating battles or political events. In similar manner, the popular song given currency by the Cuban War, A hot time in the Old town Tonight, modelled on a Creole song, does not reflect directly the war that floated it. Nor do the songs universalized for England and America by the war of 1914—Tipperary, keep the home Fires burning, over there, the long, long Trail—; commemorate its leading events. In general, as over against sentimental, romantic, or adventure pieces, ballads dealing with historical events or important movements occupy but a small corer in American popular song. Captain Kidd has retained currency in New England and in the West, and the collector still comes at times upon ballads of the British highwayman, Dick Turpin. Some widely diffused songs, their authorship and

r of John Glymph, of Newberry county, and they have one son, Reginald M. Rawls. James Francis Redding, a citizen of Charleston, prominent in banking and insurance interests, first gave evidence of an active and enterprising nature by service in the cause of the Confederacy, though the Southern war for independence closed before he was much past his sixteenth birthday. He was born at the city where he now resides December 9, 1848, son of John Redding, who came to South Carolina from Tipperary, Ireland. At the age of thirteen he first attempted to enter the Confederate service, but, being rejected on account of his youth for duty in the field, he was forced to be content with working at the making of cartridges at the Citadel. About a year later he found a place on the famous blockade-runner, Fannie, at Wilmington, N. C., and under the commands of Capts. Thomas Moore, Kennedy and Dunning, served until the close of the war.

The Moniteu, with Prince Napoleon's first speech, and an account of the tumultuous actions which it produced, had been posted on the walls of Paris, and extensively and eagerly read by the working classes. An Unpopular flag Moisted in Ireland.[from the Nenagh (Tipperary) Gusrdian.] Early on Monday morning last a large flag, representing the national banner of America, was seen floating from the summit of the Old Castle of this town, which is at present undergoing alterations to make it a belfry for the contemplated Catholic cathedral of Nenagh.
