Erin-go-Bragb.
In the year 1810,;a native of Phila
delphia residi d in Altona, and became
intimately acquainted with General
McC., who commanded the Irish pa
triots at Ballinaliinch.
The General was a real Irish gen
tleman, with a heart alive to every re
fined sympathy of human nature, and
warmly .attached to the Americans
and the American character. Never
can it be forgotten by those who were
so happy as to share his confidence,
how his fine manly countenance would
light up as he listened to the answers
bis questions wonld draw forth, when
inquiring into the private character
of any of our revolutionary sages or
soldiers.
Often would the tears start into his
eyes—bis whole soul would appear to
flush from his expressive eye, atod he
would burst forth with. the exclama
tion: “Oh, Erin, oh my beloved coun
try, from which, alas! I am banished,
when will thy heroes arise and burst
the bonds by which thou art enslaved?
Excuse me,” he wonld say, “excuse
the companion of the Emmets, the
McNevins, and others, who were con
fined with me in Fort George, in Scot
land, from which I was transported
hither—banished! Wliat a word—
banished from the home of my child
hood—tom from the land where my
forefathers dwelt!” On one occasion
like this, when most ot the company
had retired in his own hospitable
mansion, he invited his friend to stay
and hear the sad story of his life.
He rose from the table and going to
a book-ease produced a copy of Camp
bell’s poems, and tnrnirg to the beau
tiful song of Erin-go-bragb. “There”,
said he, “is my history. I am the
original Erin-go-Bragh. My country
men, X am told, often inquire how it
happened that a Scotchman should
write this national, glowing account
of the wrongs of my devoted country
men. L sten to me and I will tell
you truly the whole story—that is if I
can tell it. If I can sufficiently com
pose myself, you shall hear it; and
should yon survive me yon may pub
lish it, that the mystery my be solved
mid the world may know why the
heart, of a Scotch poet was touched
with the holy sympathy of onr nature,
and has placed oh record, in the most
exulted numbers, the feelings of an
Irish exile. While confined in the
fortress of Port George, I was without
any knowledge of what was to be my
fate, conveyed to a seaport and put
on board an English frigate to be ban
ished I knew not whither.” (the name
of the port of embarkation and the
name of tlie vessel were given, but- are
not now remembered.) “Ou board
of this vessel was Campbell, the
Scotch poet., then about to make his
pedestrian tour on the continent of Eu
rope. It was not long before we be r
came intimately acquainted, and ns
yon may suppose, my heart was filled
with woe.
* ’During our voyage to this place,
we had many and very close conversa
tions, pending whieh I poured into
his ear, iu impassioned language, the
sad overwhelming woes of eiy coun
trymen, and particularly my own hard
fate.
“We Were not very long in reach
ing our destination; we landed to
gether at Altona, and what was my
surprise to find my companion almost
as destitute of money ns myself. I
had been hurried away without the
knowledge of my frien Is, who had no
intimation of my banishment, and
coming from close confinement, was
not over-burdened with a. wardrobe,
much dess with the necessary funds
for decency, to say nothing of com
fort.
“Campbell was as poor as myself;
and in this condition we entered a
very eoaimou inn, and were u ffiered
into a room not very well furnished,
having nothing in it but an oaken ta
ble and a few common chairs. We
seated ourselves at opposite sides of
the table, and gazed at each other no
envious feeling, when, on examining
onr exchequer, we found the whole
sum iu the treasury amounted to no
more than a crown. We called for a
candle for it was growing dark, and
ordered, in consonance with onr finan
ces, some cheap refreshments. The
light came, and you-mast believe me
jyjhefl J tell you' it was a dip candle
stick in a black bottle. There was
something so ludicrous in this, and in
our general circumstances, that we
both joined in a hearty laugh.
As onr spirits were operated upon
by the. wretched liquor which we had
drank more to drown the rising sigh
than for any partiality lor It, Camp
bell called for.pen, Ink And paper.—
.‘M?. McC.,’ .said he. ty u nr story has
deeply interested me, and a kind of
notion lias arisen that I should like to
put it npon paper.;
eemed almost impossible with the
wretched pen that accompanied it.
that legible characters could be traced
upon it, and I could but indulge in
my risible propensities, at the idea'of
an. attempt to write with any such
materials.
“But the soul of the poet had been
bis inemory with my story, which I
did by replying to such questions as
he from time "to time propounded to
me. At lust he finished his labors,
‘Erin-go-bragb,’ the very song print
ed in liisworks, which I now Land to
you."
“This is a true history of that inim
itable production, more full oHeeling,
in my opinion than anything he has
ever written before or since.”
“Read it to me,” continued the
General, “for if the king would with
draw the act which banished me, the
object nearest my Irish heart, I conld
not read read tnat song aloud.
Such was the story told to the wri
ter, as nearly os it can be remembered,
after a lapse of thirty-eight years.—
There are yet living persons who will
recognize it, and appeal to them for
the accuracy with which it is here
told, would confirm it in every partic
ular, the only defect being the ab
sence of power in the writer to im
part to liis readers anything of the en
thusiasm with which General McC.
related it—nor the heart-stirring emo
tion ever exhibited by him when it
became, as it often did, the subject of
conversation.
As the reader may desire to know
wliat was subsequently the fate of the
real and original Erin-go-bragh, he
may be told that his friends found
Hit where he was, remitted him funds,
that he embarked in a profitable pur
suit, and ever after lived iu compara
tive affluence.
The story of his marriage is of so
romantic a nature, that as he is now
no more, and there is therefore no
impropriety iu giving it publicity, the
writer is tempted to narrate it, as he
has o f ten listened to it from the lips
of the General, at his own hospitable
board iu the presence of his wife.
“There she is,” he wouid say, “she
is my preserver; Campbell and my
self continued in our lodgiugs, and
with Saturday night came the bill of
.expenses; but, alas! our means were
exhausted.
“When the bill for the first week
was presented to to us, "well, ’ said
the poet to me, ‘what do you propose
to do, general?’ To which I replied,
‘Do —15 hat I propose to do, did you
ask me? I might put the same ques
tion to you—but no! let an Irishman
alone for gattiug out of a scrape. I
will call up the landlord and tell him
our story, adding that ere long I ex
pect my relatives will find out whither
I have been sent, and it cannot be but
iu a short time that funds will be sent
me.’ Suiting the action to the word I
rang the bell; the landlord appeared,
and I gave him our story in few words,
for though a Aerman, lie .was well ac
quainted with our language. ‘An
Irish general,’ said the apparently in
- , , ' ., . ■> Ol l 1
“You will see,” I replied; when we
sallied forth and were gone perhaps
an hour. On returning to our room,
jndge of the sensation I experienced
when I discovered on the oaken table
a beat-envelope directed, in a female
hand, ‘To Gen. A. McC.” With an
eagerness much more imagined than
described, I broke the seal—not a line
of manuscript did it contain—but for
a moment my heart leaped with joy,
for I found within the enelope a Schles
wig Holsteiu Dank bill of twenty dol-
and the result of them' was the song .of Jars! Although my surprise was with-
sejf with suits at law, but appeal only . . . ........ . ff|
to the Coubt of Honob. Those who “Iu a little time a miserable ink
horn was produced, aflijL something
which was called paper, bat it was so
stained and otherwise disfigured; it
credulous Bouifaee, ‘and a Scotch po
et!’ He left us with the exclamation,
and after.he had gone, I proposed a
walk, to whieh my campanion assent
ing, we strolled around the :city of
Altoua and returned to our lodgings,
without having met with any occur
rence worthy of remark. Being some
what fatigued, and having no book or
other means of occupation, we -retired
to onr humble chamber, which had in
it two single beds, by no means lux
urious.
Another week of anxiety parsed
away, and no advice reached either of
us; and the poet and myself were in a
considerable dilemma. Another hill
was presented, but to our gyeat sur
prise we found our host very lenient
indeed. He made no remark when,
presenting it—simply asked me had
I received my fnnds, and on ex
pressing my mortification that my ro
ply must be in the ■' negative, he left
me with a polite bow
‘ ‘The accommodation,’ said the
poet, ’ are here uojie of the best, bat
oar host is an honest fellow ,we have
inspired him with confidence, and he
appears content to wait!”
J know not how it was,- but I felt a
strange sensfltibh come over me, si
feeling that relief was at hand. So
strongly" was I impressed, with this
belief that I communicated it to my
friend,who .laughed out at what lie
called my Irish modest assurance.
'“‘Relief/ be said, ‘come’ when
yoiir relations'.hear of yon, but mv
word for it, that will no£ be soon
No, no there is no relief.’
“]Je feoyrever, yielded to my solic
itation to walk, which was always my
resource, .and as we left the house,
I said to him, ‘ Campbell, when we
come back I shall fee?? something.’ :
‘If you do,’ said he, -‘it may be in
the shape of 4 dun fo?onr unpaid
bills.” -
ontbounds “Did Inot tellyou,”saidI
to my friend, “that relief was at hand?’ ’
“Our treasury was now replenished
and we had a frnitfnl subject of con
versation.” Addressing himself to his
attentive listener, “I wish,” said the
general, “yon could have seen the
stride with which I placed up and
down that room. Soever in my'wliole
eventful life had I such commingled
sensations. My pride was gratified,
that I conld now discharge onr in
debtedness to onr host,, while I suffer
ed the deepest humiliation in the *e-
flection that I was considered an ob
ject of charity by some unknown per
son! My cariosity was at fault to de
termine who it could be, and I shall
never forget Oampell’s looks as he
exclaimed: “Yon have conquered
here, if you conld not in Ireland.
But it is Cupid who has been your
aid. The handwriting, the neatness
of the billet, and its diminutive pro
portions, all declare it to be a billet/
(loux. My word for it, your Irish
complexion and figure have taken cap
tive the heart for some fair lady!”
This idea greatly added to my embar
rassment, but tire pride of being ena
bled to discharge onr indebtedness
overcame for the moment all my oth
er sensations, and strutting up to the
bell, I rang it with so much violence
that our landlord ran up in an instant
and demanded to know what was the
matter?” “Bring your bill, ” “that I
may at once discharge it.” I thought
this would be the most agreeable in
telligence I could give him. What,
then, was our joint surprise when he
replied: “That gentleman is of no
kind of importance; I pray of you
give yourselve uo uneasiness on that
score—you can pay me at your conve
nience.’ Saying this, he departed,
leaving my friend and myself more
deeply involved in the mystery which
had not only supplied us with money
but whieh had also placed us iu such
ample credit.
“ ‘You sec,” said the poet, “yon are
known, and Cupid has taken you un
der his special protection.”
Time passed how more pleasantly.
The second Saturday brought another
note addressed in the same handwrit
ing, containing a second bank-note of
the same amount. Finding our fi
nances so much improved, we took
better lodgings and indulged ourselves
with more of the creature comforts,
for the unknown benefactor found ns
out in onr new abode and continued
the supply, which enabled us to do
“I think,” continued the general,
“it was in the fourth week that I was
returning to my lodgings alone, in
tlie dusk of the evening, when one of
the flagstones of the pavement being
somewhat raised above its fellows,
caused me to strike it with my foot,
and being thus thrown from J»y equi
librium, 1 fell against the porch of a
dwelling, in which was seated a lady,
who did not attract my attention un
til I heard a voice, a sweet voice,
which inquired if I was hurt. A voice
in my native tongue uttering sounds
of. sympathy would have been accom
panied wAh a charm, comefrbin whom
it might.; but imagine the eestaey
with which I was thrilled when I heard
the sweet voice that addressed me,
and knew it to be from'the lips of a
fair daughter of the Emerald Isle—in
plain'English, an Irish woman.
“ T hope yon are not hurt, Gener
al?”
“'General! she knows me then
thoughtL
•‘“Come snid she and rest yourself
in-the porch.”
“I could no longer contain myself.
‘“Tell me,” said I, “by what bless
ed influence I have thus been bronght
to listen to the sweet, sympathizing
accents
yon do not get into your heroicsand
and addressing their guest, she con
tinued: “Becieve wliat he says with
many allowances, for on this subject
he is insane, I forgive him, for he
has suffered mnch in the cause of
that dear land from which we both
derive onr birth; you who know him
know that he never thinks or speaks
of dear Erin and his exile—of a spot
for which he is ready to shed the last
drop his blood—that his whole soul is
not on fire. Of this lie may talk to
you; and if you listen to him, he will
do so till to-morrow’s son shall warm
you with his meridian rays; but I for
bid Aim to talk of me and our union.”
“Forbid!” sad the husband, “there
is no snch word in-the vocabulary. I
will tell you this to onr friend, for yon
know I love him. I will tell him how
you courted me, and how yon saved
me, and made me what I am—your
happy husband.”
To this the fond wife would reply,
deprecating the continuance of his-
narrative, which, however, did not
prevent him from doing ample justice
to every incident which occurred,
from the time of their first accidental
meeting, os here related, until Hymen
had sealed a nnion which had made
beth husband and wife as happy as
they could be under the circumstances
of his banishment. This was a con
tinual source of chagrin and mortifi
cation to his heroic soul; and never
could Ireland be named within his
hearing that the tear'did not start in
his eye.
The substance of bis love affair was
that tlie lady of whom we have spoken
was an Irish lady,who had come when
a young woman to Altona, and had
married a young German, who did not
long survive their union. She was
left in very comfortable circumstances
aud hearing from the keeper of the
inn that a person was an inmate with
him, calling himself an Irish general
who had been banished, and who had
not heard from his friends, and was
without fnnds, she had sent him the
weekly supply which so much aston
ished the poet and the general. The
innkeeper knowing the lady to be an
Irishwoman, had gone to consult her
as to the probability of the
general’s story, and had been told
to withhold nothing, and that she.
would be responsible. Often did she
tell the writer that she sent the money
without any expectation of ever seeing
the recipient, who was represent
ed to her as so fine looking in
person that he could not be impostor.
She believed him to be a veritable
Irishman in distress, and—teat was
enough had she never seen him, he
was a countryman of hers, and had a
right to anything she could do for him
—happy to have been furnished with
an object to call fourth her patriotic
feelings; to exercise them in his behalf
was her greatest delight. Pare acci
dent had given her a knowledge of
who ivas the cause of calling them
forth and his heart was touched, and
hers responded to his love. They had
.been several years married when tlie
writer became acquainted with them.
Their home was the abode of content
ment, and a hospitality that knew no
limits.
His. sentence of banishment was re-
.mittec many years after the period
here spoken of; and lie was permitted
again to return to the home of his
childhood and the land of his fore
fathers, for which he had bled, and
for tbe redemption of which he was
ever ready to lay down his life—but
it was not so ordered. He died in
peace, and was buried in the tomb of
his ancestors. General Anthony
MjeCann was the y.efjtoble and origi
nal “Erin-go-Bragli. ”
The Natinnal Grange,
The seventh annual session of the
National Grange, of Patrons of Hus
bandry, which began its deliberations
in St. Louis on the 4th ult. adjourned
on ike 13tb.
Tbe following is a list of the officers
of the order: Master, Dudley AY. Ad
ams, Iowa; Overseer, Thomas Taylor.
South Carolina; Lecturer, T. A.
Thomas, Minnesota; Stewaid, A. J.
Vaughn, Mississippi; Assistant Stew
ard, New Jersey; Chaplain, A. B.
Grosh, Washington; Treasurer, J.
McDowell, New York; Secretary, O.
H. Kelly, Washington; Gate Keeper,
O. Dinwiddle, Indiana; Cores, Mrs.
D. W. Adams, Iowa; Pomo»a, Mrs.
O. H. Kelly, Washington; Flora, Mrs.
J. C. Abbot, Iowa; Lady Assistant |
Steward, Mrs. C. A. Hill, Washing
ton; Executive Committee—Wm.
Saunders, Washington; D. Wyatt
Aikin, South Carolina; E. K. Shank-
land. Iowa.
The proceedings were held with
closed doors. On the first day an ad
dress of welcome was delivered by
Worthy Master Alien of Wisconsin,
in which he reviewed the growth of
the order in that State, giving the
number of Granges as 1,500, with a
membership of 80,000. Grand Mas
ter Adams then made his speech.—
The several reports of officers were
then in order. The Secretary re
ported 8,000 subordinate Granges ad
ded during the year. The treasurer
reported $50,000 on hand. The ex
ecutive committee reported at length
on several interesting matters. They
declared co-operation to have proved
successful, and say that by means of
the stores and elevators the farmers
have saved $8,000,000 during the. past
year. They express confidence in the
proposed system of crop and census
reports, and advise against confining
membership to farmers. Ou the trans
port ation question the views of (lie
view3 of the committeee are broad
and liberal, and they say their deal
ing with the railroads have always
been agreeable. An appropriation of
$3,000 was made to the State Grange
of Iowa in consideration of the great
expense incurred by that Grange iu
relieving the wants of distressed
brethren in north-western Iowa. Ap
propriations of $1,000 to Minnesota
and $750 to Dakota Granges were also
made.
Some amendments to the contitn-
tion were proposed, among them one
for tlie establishment of district
Granges in the fifth degree; not to ex
ceed one in each county, composed
of masters and past masters of subor
dinate Granges, and'^wives who are
Matrons, and such fourth degree mem
bers as may be electod thereto after
having h.een examined as to their pro
ficiency in the work. These Granges
shall have charge of the edu afional
and business interests of the order in
their respective districts, and shall
encourage, strengthen, and aid the
subordinate Granges represented
therein. Dispensations for such
Granges shall issue from tile State
Grange, and under such regulations
as the State Grange may adopt.

A Burglar Caught by a Skeleton.
A burglar in Greensbnrg, Pennsyl

markable manner. Breaking into tbe
closed office of a physician in that
town, the burglar opened a closet
(while his companion with a dark lan
tern was in another part of 1he room),
and feeling fordothing at about the
height of the closet-hooks generally,
got liis hands between the claws of -a
skeleton, which being adjured with a

closed suddenly on the entmding
hand by the breaking of the thread.
A sodden thought striking the burglar

a long time practiced the art of pro
tecting plants in Autumn from* the
Wtheriing effects of frost, by building
fires at night in the vicinity and to the
windward of the flower bed-s. The
smoke and ratified air are a good
protection against the destruction by
cold weather. At a recent congress
of vinegrowers in the south of France,
discussion was had on the ;, nbject of
protecting vines -from. frost, aud sev
eral practical experiments -were made
the result of which was a recommen
dation -of the smoke process as pro
ducing the most satisfactory effect.—
The mode of producing the smoke
was as follows: Iron vessels, contain
ing a preparation consisting principal
ly of tar, having been disponed of at
intervals over the vineyards, were set
fire to, and produced thick clouds,
wKcfi hovered ore? the land and
spread for miles around.

It is stated that a third skeleton of
a Troglodyte has been discovered by
M. Reviere in the caves of Mentone:
This, new skeleton, fudging from tlie
numerous and various implements liy
which it- was surrounded, lived at an
epoch more remote .than that assigned
to the skeleton now in the Mnsenm of
Paris. The warlike iutrnments and
jobjects-fonhd with them, thongh com
posed of bone, are notpolished. They
are only sharpened, and by. -their
Ccnxsq execution appear to belong to
the Palaeolithic age. On the upper
part of the remains was a number of
small shells, each pierced for stringing
as a collar or bracelet,. No pottery or
any bronze .object was found. The
first skeleton in the same neighbor
hood, on the bank of a railway cut
ting on the sea margin, appeared to
have been .crushed by ffee faU of a
