A recent nsws item in the New York .Herald affords a striking illuitraton of the possibilities ot life in this wonderful country. Thirty years ago Thomas Nevins, a ''oor farmer’s boy on the estate of Lord Killeen in County Meath. Ireland, came over to this country to seek his fortune. He settled nt Orange, N J. became a contractor for street, building and railway work, and in the course of time he accumulated many millions of dollars. A few months ago Nevins got. the idea into his head that U would be a fine thing to purchase the historic castle uuder the shadow of whose feudal towers he had la bored in his days of poverty. He found that tha present Lord Kil leen was in need of money aud .finally succeeded in persuading him to sell his residence for S3OO, 000. And so the ancient stronghold is now the property of a man who would not have been admitted within the gates thirty years ago. It was built in the eleventh cen tury, and shel’ered the cowardly King John before his barons bull dozed him into signing the great charter. The story «hows what a men cau do iu this country. Mauy a •foreigner, like Nevin« eomes here poor and unknown, and before he dies makes fame and fortune, But do you ever hear of a penniless American laborer going to Ireland or to England and then coming back with money enough to pur chase one of the Vanderbilt or Astor palaces? There is no such case on record. The goldeu prize tor brains, pluck and industry must be Bought for in this land of promise, where every man has a fair feld aud a fighting chauce, — Constitution.
