THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH WEDNESDAY, MARCH 17, 19:5.

St. Patrick's Day:

Thongh but little notice seems to be taken of the Seventeenth of March in Hongkong-at Home, in other British Colonies and in the United States it is a day of no mean importance. It matters nothing to Irishmen that St. Pat- rick was a Scot. If he had never seen Ireland-even sa St. George never caw England or St. Andrew Scotland-their devotion to their national saint would have been the same; for it is a devotion

which they learned at their moth ers' kness, and sledge hammers

would not beat it out of them. In thegrim daysof persecution Irish men and women died merely for honouring St. Patrick for obsery ing his day and for wearing hie colonra. Happily such perseon- tion has become a thing of the past, and can never return; and, if we look at any list of killed and wounded to-day, we shall very easily patisly ourselves that Ire- land, the warmest hearted and most readily forgiving country in the world, has determined to blot oat bitter recollection and to throw in her lot with that cfibe (and great Expire which
