Anniversary of the Hibernian Benevolent
Society.
The anniversary of the above association was
celebrated yesterday in a most becoming manner.
At 8 o’clock in the morning, the members as
sembled at the hall of Fire Company No. 2, for
the purpose of electing officers for the ensuing
year, and for the transaction other business. The
following is the result of the ballotings:
John H. Flynn President.
Owen Lynch Vice President.
Michael Mahony , Treasurer.
Win. Dowling Secretary.
The retiring officers were complimented for
the efficient manner in which their duties had
been performed during the past year, and a vote
of thanks tendered to them.
At 10 o’clock, the Society, wearing badges, and
formed in procession, marched to the Catholic
Church, to be in attendance on mass, at the con
clusion of which Father O’Reilly addressed
the members in a tew well-timed remarks, in
which he referred to their organization, to their
anniversary, and to the time-honored day
dedicated to the Patron Saint of Ireland, on
which the present anniversary had occurred.
The occasion was one fraught with golden mem
ories, and not an Irishman whose youthful days
were passed among the green hills of his native
land, but on this day will his thoughts recur to
that home. lie enjoined upon them the impor
tance of being united, and to work in harmony,
if the grand object of their society—that of
charity, and the doing of good to their fellow
men—was to be crowned with success. The
reverend gentleman referred in a most feel
ing manner to the excesses that were some
times indulged in on this day, and hoped
that the Society would not lose sight of the
fact that they might, by their deportment, set a
shining exampie that for all time would be emu
lated by others. It was not his purpose to de
liver a lecture, as had been announced, for such
was not his engagement with the Society, but
trusted they would accept his few remarks as
emanating from a heart that ardently desired
their prosperity individually, and their success
as a benevolent organization.
The Hibernian Society then returned to their
hall for the purpose of disposing of unfinished
business. This done, they separated to meet
again in the evening at the City Hall.
Accepting the invitation extended to the press
to witness the ceremonies, and participate in the
festivities of the evening, it was our pleasure to
join the happy throng which assembled at the
City Hall, at 8 o’clock. On entering the hall the
scene presented was of a most attractive char
acter. Tastefully arranged garlands, woven as
such things can onlf be by the fair hand of
woman, hung gracefully’ from the walls; while
■on the wall fronting the main entrance, and first
no greet the eye, were the words “Ceadh Milk-
Failthe"— an hundred thousand welcomes —very
ingeniously wrought in letters of evergreen.—
Bright eyes sparkled at every turn, and it was
plain from the happy smile upon each face that
the occasion would be one of no ordinary inter
est. The banner tor presentation to the Hiber
nian Society by the galaxy of beauty, whose fair
hands had prepared it, was brought into the hall
and placed upon the rostium. Me shall not
attempt a further description of it than to say
that it was a groundwork of green, trimmed with
golden fringe, handsomely embellished with the
harp of Erin, and the motto so dear to every
Irishman’s heart— “Brin go Bragh"— placed tin
derneath the harp. The moment, far presenta
tion having arrived, the ladies arranged them
selves on each side ol the banner, w hen the Hov
O. A. Lochrane was escorted to the rostrum by
the President of the Hibernian Society, J. 11.
Flynn, Esq , and Dr. D. C. O’Kef.fe, and for
mally introduced to the assemblage by the for
mer. He had been chosen by the ladies to offi
ciate in their behalf, and to convey to this or
ganization of their countrymen how much
their hearts were with them, and to de
monstrate through the medium of a gift so
Appropriate, that what potency there might be
in woman’s smiles and encouragement wastheir’s
most heartily and sincerely. That the ladies
were most happy in their choice of an orator,
will lie seen from the graceful and eloquent ad
dress of the distinguished gentleman. It was
cvidi ul that his warm heart was overwhelmed
with emotions of sympathy for the oppressed
land ot his nativity while glancing at the em
blems upon the banner ; and to use his own beau
tiful illustration, that “ were his tongue silent
his heart was eloquent.” Judge Locbrane con
tinued .
Ladii> \m» Gentlemen:—! congratulate
you on this patriotic demonstration in honor of I
our native land, and am proud to be the repre- .
scntaiive the ladies in the discharge of a duty ’
imposed by their partiality, regretting that pro '
fessional <nr ig<’tnents. ami their very recent in j
vilation, have rendered it impossible tor me to
prepare an a»ixlress worthy the theme or them
Wom.inataH times, like orange blossoms, adds
beauty stiff fragrance to public occasions, but
never appears in such luxuriance ot loveliness as
when by their smiles they enliven the exercise of
patriotism.
In the inspiration of such a presence my mind
is warmed by the grandest memoriesot Ireland,
tor whether in the Baronial Hall or under the
humble Shelling, the spots of history, around
w hich the sweetest poetry is twined, are those
where woman's name has been written.
The Harp which h.n so si’eiil tijK'n this flit.'
with the higiu -i co.iragc.cultivation.and chival
ry, the sot. r »moth :.s and -entimeuts < t which
h to-mght 1 loakl go into the liish hear;,
through its high ways and by-ways. 1 would
find LOVE that » annul every though! intojxk'. y
and music, that melted every scuumcul into song.
While amid its leaves isded flowers of the past
have been pressed away by some “ Savourneei
Phelish” whose very memory brings tears, anc
- like the shell taken from the stream of youth
will echo in exile the music of home into every
land and over every sea.
While at Aughrim and the Boyne, the Sham
rock has been dyed with blood, and every nation
10 attests Irish valor, yet the tenderness of his
J} heart, and its susceptibility to emotions, give the
» highest evidence of his nature. Around me
, here, we find men whose lives were offered in a
cause they believed they were called upon by
2 honor to vindicate, and in both sections with
J] equal fidelity, and in both thinking of their
K) native land. I recollect receiving a letter from
10 this place when the strife of storms was howl
-0 ing over it and its skirts were fringed with fire,
o written amid the roar and crash of armies,
}} from one whose name is sacred, for it has been
” sainted by death—General Cleburne—in
o which was written—“l am more sensitive of
t the good opinion of my’ countrymen than that
£ of all the world besides.” And Sarsfield
when he fell beneath the rays of a July sun up
-0 on a foreign field, with like emotion exclaimed
i as he saw his life-blood gushing from his heart,—
Irel a n d. ”
I" II ' .

beat responsive— to our own ; all tongim
talk sweetly—to me; all beauties—mc»< puinteit?
In fact I am not sectional but love “ Annie
Laurie” under Scottish skies, as well as “ Geral
dine,” linked with “Surrey immortality;” and
for American ladies I would weave the garland of
the “ sweet briar” that with fragrance greets the
rugged oak ot the North, and the “ Magnolia ”
that meets the soft air of the South with
the kisses of a bride. To beauty, lam a patriot,
and know no North, no South, no East, no
West; and in love may say, I am neither an
atheist or a bigot, nor like some of my friends
both gallant and insincere.
The full-orbed glory of St. Patrick rounded in
radiance, in the thought that love was the sacra
ment of his religious convictions and bis con
version of Ireland ; and the planting of religion
on her soil, was the consummation of his life
consecrated, not to ambition, but duty ; not to !
place, but good. That religion has stood the storin
and tempest; been assailed, and lived ; and, as
crushed flowers give more fragrance, the very
power I bat was instituted to destroy, became the
instrument of its protection. Erin’s daughters un
der its influence have become sacred in the senti
ment of her sons. No people are prouder of their
women than we. In the palaces of the Colonna,
the Montmorenci,and the Howards, can be found
no nobler, purer hearts than those that pulsate
under the humble roof trees of our native land.
The robe of snow the angels hung upon their
cradles, they have carried unstained through
life and worn as ascension robes to immortality;
the desolation of a hundred wars never demoral
ized them, and the criticisms of history have
been exhausted in panegyric. Her sons have
been abused, taunted, and maligned, but the
purity of her daughters has never been assailed.
Their brilliancy dazzles not like glass from the
stains that have been put upon it, but from the
very purity and solidity ot the gem itself ; and
in their presence and with these memories we
may exclaim—
“ Let fate do her worst, there are relics of joy,
Bright dreams of the past that she cannot destroy.”
For these relics are sacred as saints, and like
the Druid’s altar, fixed in the Irish mind.—
Around them we all kneel with folded hands
ike Nuns at prayer.
To fill the heart with these memories, to keep
them alive, this flag is presented as emblematic
and evidencing their appreciation of those who,
like ourselves, gather around the uru of Irish
glory and sprinkle the ashes with their tears.
It is true that we are a flagless people, that our
nationality has been surrendered to the British
crown. Scotland and Ireland have both been
united to England by act ot union, but while the
“Thistle” has grown on the British emblem like
a native plant, the “Irish Harp" still hangs as
mute in “Tara’s Hall,” as if its soul were dead.
This flag, then, I give you, is only a memory ;
it represents affection, not a nation. The sun
burst that floated so grandly over many n field
ol glory is now folded, and gone from the sky.
This flag typifies the peace and hope oi Ireland
when song and sentiment filled “Tara’s Hall”
with deathless thought and melody. Place it
where the exile may gaze upon the harp that or
naments its folds—
“ And if uome bard who roams forsaken.
Revive its soft notes iu passing along,
Oh ! let one thought of Ireland waken
Your sweetest thought for the land of song."
In presenting it to you I know the trust will
be as faithful as the affection it inspires, for you
have illustrated fidelity “even unto death.” In
the little you have contributed to the magic
I prosperity I see around me 1 fee] assured of what
I hereafter you will accomplish I may lie par-
I doned to the Irish ci’izen ot this Republic if I
i utter my pride at what he has done, by his.loyalty
and labor, to settle the foundations ot a firm and
i lasting prosperity in every position, and in almost
every locality. If yo igo to the West amid the
shadows of its unsunned gloom, you will hear
the ring of his axe cutlingjdown away for civil
ization to pass, mingling with the echoes ol the
hunter’s rifle. In the city you may see edifices
I rise up under his hands, and in every avenue of
i trade may find his footstep. Over every field of
Literature he has strewed flowers; for every
cause he has fought and fell. He wears the
ermined honor ot the Bench; lie wields the
sword garlanded with a nation’s honor. In
legislative halls crowds hang upon his eloquence;
a citizen of the world and without a home, be is
welcomed by all at court and hall, and yet, in
crowds, like the widow in her weeds, remains
faithful to a memory.
I now, gentlemen of the Hibernian Benevolent
: Society of Atlanta, have the honor of present-
■ ing you this Banner. I give it to your care fts
Irish eitirens of this republic, and trust your de
votion to your adopted Ct'untry may equal your
■ fidelity to the memories of your native land. A !
i great future, and a great civilization is before us.
j Destiny and duty alike call for our industry and
loyalty, and if we are true to our adopted country,
the time will yet come when the Shamrock will
no longer be an exotic but indigenous to the
American soil, and the harp now the silent seuli-
■ nel of sorrow will n’sjxmd to the joyous strains
i ot a glorious anthem
RKPt.Y OF DIU O'KEEFE.
When the speaker had finished. Dr. D. C.
. O Ki.i.FE, ou the part of the Hibernian Society,
• advanced and accepted the beautiful tribute of
t : lie Indi* s. and in behalf of the members asked
.■ to be indulged in a few remarks:
Upon this interesting occasion, I have the
honor, sir, to represent the Atlanta Hibernian
- Reiietolcat Sixicty. and would do injustice to
my titlings were I not to declare that it is one
i ot the m<vsl iuUresiiog scenes in my life. Hire
we arc, an assemblage of Irishmen, anil the
. ;ni.ic,r et Irishmen, exiles from our native land.
1 assembled on this festal occasion to eotuiuemo
i rate that day in our national history , dear to the
. . heart ot every Irishman ot whatever creed or
11 shade of opinion.
n We have assembled, I say, to celebrate an
d event in the history of our Fatherland, which
a does honor, not only to its patron Saint, but to
y the temper and character of its people.
You have been pleased to refer to Irish his
t- tory, and especially’ its patriotic developments—
n to the character and acts ol its fair daughters,
is To this, sir, I trust you will excuse me from rc
e plying—l would not mar the beauty and elo
e quence of such a tribute fromoueof Erin’s most
a gifted sons.
y To the student of history, the philosophy of
h occasions like this is a subject of deep interest,
r On the 17th dayof March, A. D. 465,5 t. Patrick
n died, having devoted the best portion of bis life
I- to the service of Ireland; and from that time to
the present, this day has been observed, not only
i, as a religious, but as a national festival by Irish
n men ol every dime and country.
n Now, why is this? Why should the memory
>f of the services of one man to Ireland, in remote
t antiquity, be still cherished in the hearts of
a Irishmen as fresh and as green as the shamrock of
i- her sod ? Why should they, upon this day and
1 this occasion, forget all else, and refresh their
- minds with the glorious memories of the past ?
There is, sir, in my judgment, but one answer
to these inquiries. The Irish are aa impassioned,
fctarere^^^ijjousrace; the holy man, to

political or social, or even religious
heaven-sanctioned attribute of charity is the bond* -
that unites us. Whoever would visit the couch
of the sick and the dying; whoever would give
the cup of cold water, in the name of Him who
went about doing good, to wet the parched lip,
or cool the burning brow and soothe the aching
forehead ; whoever would follow the mortal re
mains of our frail humanity to its final resting ,
place, and there perform the sad rites of friend
ship and affection—such an one only is qualified
for membership in the 11. B. 8. For this end and
no other, do we desire to maintain our national
unity in the land of our adoption.
In appreciation of these objects, you, sir, as the
representative of the ladies of Atlanta, present
to us this flag, as an evidence of their approval
of <>v- organization. In behalf of the society,
I accept it as the work of their fair hands, and
tender to them, through you, our heartfelt thanks
for its bestowal. To us, it will not be the em
blem of conquest and subjugation, but its harp
will remind us of the better days ot our country,
and stimulate us to imitate the illustrious virtues
of that period; its shamrock will symbolize the
unity which should result even from conflicting
opinions, feelings, and interests; and its sunburst
will inspire the hope that the sun of freedom, in
all its effulgence and splendor, may yet shine
upon the dear land of our nativity.
You will be pleased to assure the fair donors
of this beautiful flag, that although Irishmen
have shed glory upon the battle fields of almost
every nation upon earth, the victories of this
banner will be those of peace, and not of war.
Under its graceful folds we shall march to our
duty in the sick room—visit and relieve the wi
dow and the orphan, and drop the tear of affec
tion upon the lonely grave. It will also inspire
us with fraternal feelings toward
each other, and that self-respect and gentlemanly
deportment which will entitle us to the good
opinions of our fellow-citizens.
To all you have said ot the Atlanta ladies, At
lanta Irishmen, and Irish matters iu general, I
subscribe a full and hearty concurrence. 1
should illy represent, however, the society that
has honored me as their organ, did I not, in an
especial manner, return our profound thanks to
the Sisters of Mercy of this city lor the active
and laborious part taken by them in preparing
this flag. Ever ready to engage in works ol
charity and benevolence, their fair bands have
given form, and beauty, and symmetry to the
materials of which it is composed, and present
it to us a thing of beauty which is a joy forever.
It but remains for me, sir, to thank you for
the able and eloquent manner in which you
have discharged the duties assigned you, and the
pleasing interest you add to the occasion by your
presence with us. Your countrymen have long
since learned to feel proud of your genius and
eloquence, and will always regard you as an or
nament to their country.
FINALE —the ball.
Arrangements had been made to conclude the
interesting ceremonies with a ball, and the hall
was speedily cleared tor that purpose. Music was
brought into requisition, and the merry throng
were soon gliding through the giddy mazes. It
was not our pleasure to participate to the con
clusion of this most agreeable feature of the an
niversary ot the ‘‘Hibernian Society,” but we left
the assemblage in a joyous mood, and in a fair
way to prolong the festivities up into the small
hours. Success to.the Hibernians, and may they
witness many happy returns of St. Patrick's
D.iy.

PRESENTATION CONCERT.
Grand Charitable Presentation Concert,
IN AID OF THE
SOUTHERN ORPHAN ASSOCIATION.
(Incorporatedby theLtjislalweof Virginia, Jan. 30,1867.)
TO Bi: GIVEN AT THE
MABYLAND INSTITUTE, BALTIMORE,
April
THE profttH of this Concert will be given to the
SOUTHERN ORPHANS’ ASSOCIATION, to the
subjoined addreae, from the ofilcers of which, we call the
attention of the public.
“We, the Officers of the Southern Orphans Associa
tion, for the maintenance and education of the Destitute
Orphans of deceased Southern Soldiers and Sailors,
earnestly solicit the sympathy and co-operation in our
GRAND PRESENTATION CONCERT
Os all who desire to see the “Home and School” enabled
to receive and care for all the needy ones who seek its
shelter anti protection.
Thanking our friends for their past contributions and
assistance, we again appeal to them to help us in a more
extensive enterprise. It is the design of this Association
to erect a
HOME AND SCHOOL
Foi the Orphans of the South,
BOTH MALE AND FEMALE,
On an extensive scale, in the city of Richmond, Virginia
As an inducement to have the building located there, the
Common Council ol that city have guaranteed a sufficient
lot of land, in an elevated and healthful location, and will
increase the quantity of land, if needed.
It is with a confident hope in a favorable response to
this appeal ’o a public which bes never yet failed to sus
tain a charitable institution, that we have entered into
an arrangement with Messrs. L. T. Palmer & Co., No. 13
Holliday street, Baltimore, to organize a
Grand Musical Presentation Concert
For its benefit, and earnestly solicit the kindly aid and
patronage of the public to insure its success.

It may seem unnecessary to add a single word to the
above address, but calls upon the Institution have been
so numerous and pressing, and the struggle through
which it is now passing to widen the circle of its chari
ties, is of such an arduous nature, that the Management
cannot too strongly urge upon the
HUMANE AND SYMPATHETIC
Everywhere, an active participation in the additional at
tempt to alleviate the sad condition of great numbers of
HELPLESS CHILDREN,
Rendered thus by the terriulewar through which we
have passed. And assuredly, whatever nay have been
the relative political views of ladies and gentlemen
heretofore, all must agree that the children referred to
could not, bj' any possibility, have had any agency in
bringing about their present deplorable and destitute con
dition, and are suitable objects for the charity of all per
sons, of whatever shade of political opinion.
The HOME AND SCHOOL which they now more par
ticularly seek to establish aud endow, will be of incalcu
lable benefit by providirg not only food and raiment for
these helpless ones, but likewise solid and thorough ed
ucation, thus qualifying them for luture usefulness to so
ciety at large.
Iu order that this appeal may be effectual in enlisting
the active interest and co-Oj.eration of all classes of per
sons everywhere, wc have concluded to issue for the
Grand Presentation Musical Concert

EGYPTIAN CORN.
Auspicitim mclloris avi. Donna Jtde. Quid pro quo.'
THE subscriber offers to tanners throughout the
country, the EGYPTIAN CORN, which, upon trial,
was found to ripen, planted even the last of Julv. It is
estimated, from its very prolific qualities, to yield 150
bushels per acre, aud weighs, by sealed measure, sixty
five pounds to the bushel. This Corn was produced by
some procured direct irom Mr. Jones, our consular agent,
directly on his return from Egypt.
It needs no different culture from that of other varie
lies, and in the Soutu two crops can be raised iu one sea
son on the same ground. It grows in the form of a tree,
and thirty-four ears havegrown upon one stalk, and will
average irom five to tineen. For domestic use it is un
paralleled. When ground and properly bolted, it is equal
in color and fineness to wheaten flour. As a forage crop,
by sowing in drills or broadcast, lor early feed, there is
no kind of corn so well adapted to milch cows, and none
that will yield half the value >n stalk or corn.
It can be successfully grown in any Stale.
I give the most satisfactory references that the Corn is,
iu every respect, what I represent it to be; and further,
I am the only person throughout the country who has
this variety of Corn. Ue.vmg secured a ouautity. I ant
now able to fill all orders for those ffeßTrouToFußUng lU
TERMS.—In order that all may receive seed, we have
reduced the price to $1.50 a package. Any person who
will get up a club of five, will receive a package gratis.
Fifteen packages for slu, fifty packages for <2O, one hun
dred packages for S3O. One package will contain enough
to plant the following season from twenty to thirty acres;
also, directions for planting and cultivating.
