Saint Colomkil AKA Columbkille		49	repeats story in Book I
Saint Columbkille	69		“Saint Columbkille was a contemporary with Saint Patrick. Tradition says he and Saint Patrick are buried side by side in a graveyard near to Lough Derg. He prophesied a lot of things that have come to pass. He said one day cars would run without horses, referring to our rail-way carriages. People; at one day would ride on iron horses. Float about in the air as high as the eagle which was thought to mean balloons. In time to come, people would be in prisons without crime, meaning the workhouse. People would talk to each other at long distances in a very mysterious manner which is thought to be the telegraph. “He made one grand mistake in saying the Protestants of Ulster would rise and murder the Roman Catholics. A host of those poor people, principally small farmers, left and went to County MAYO where they were very badly treated and a lot of them died. Some were kindly treated by men of means.”

Saint Patrick		13, 14, 31, 47	“I find people as a rule are quite mistaken about St. Patrick & the snakes. It is related in the earliest Irish annals (says a writer in Lippincots Magazine) that when the Milesians first landed in Ireland about 1000 B.C. the standard which they bore was a serpent on a crossed staff. This was plased over the entrance of their dwellings, like the later White Horse of the Saxons and the Green Dragon of Wales. “When St. Patrick come to convert Pagan Ireland all other religions of the country had in a great measure yielded to or become merged in Druidism. The Serpent worshipers were at that time a disadent sect. The good Saint did his mission boldly. He traversed the island preaching the gospel and destroying the pagan idols. He overturned the Druid altars & converted the sacred oaks into fuel. He extinguished the perpetual fires, & used the water of the holy wells for ablution. He overthrew the great idol, Cron, & with his staff he smote & broke to pieces the serpent images before which the people had bowed, forcing them to take refuge in remote & uninhabited places, where they might practise their sacred rites undisturbed. Many who were thus driven out resorted to the desert islands off the western coast. Here we discern the true signifcance of that marvellous story of St. Patrick & the snakes. It was not serpents but serpent worshipers whom St. Patrick drove out of Ireland. The people who live out of West port on the islands are some of the representatives of the snake worshipers refered to. To this day those people can only speak Irish & believe in, misterious things. Strange to say in the 15 centurys which have lapsed since then & in the various disputes & controversies upon the subject, this simple explanation has never presented itself that it was snake worshipers he drove out of Ireland & not the reptile snake at all. “A Bishop called Patricious who come to Ireland some centuries after St. Patrick devoted himself to eradicating the last traces of pagan worship, & blotting out its very memory by burning every bock & manuscript relating thereto, and even forbidding mention of the subject — a deplorable thing by which so much of historic value & interest has been lost to the world. To this is probably owing our ignorance not only of Serpent-worship in Ireland, but of the round towers & those underground cells or cripts which despite the researches of the antiquary, remain still an impenetrable mystery - their origin, their builders, and their very uses unknown. “Now that St. Patrick's day is at hand, I find but few know he died the 17th. of March 463 & was burried at DOWNPATRICK. He come first as a slave to Ireland, for six years he herded swine on Mount Blemish BALLYMENA. Then he made his escape & returned to Scotland, but come back in answer to a vision in which he believed he was called by the men of Ireland to teach them the way of Salvation.” “St. Patrick taught the three persons in the Godhead by the three leaves in the shamrock being one & again the burning candle producing life, light and heat still only one candle.”

It was recovered again by SANCY ordering the corpse to be opened, & it was found in his stomach. James the II possessed this diamond when he fled to France & Louis XV wore it at his coronation.”
Schomberg, Duke of	25, 85,		Frederick SCHOMBERG, a Huguenot general, was William IIIs second in command at the Battle of the BOYNE in July 1690 and died in battle. “I will take notice of some old customs quite abolished in Ulster and still to be seen South and West. The wren's race is one below contempt. A pack of boys would gather and hunt a wren with sticks and stones till it was killed. Then it was gibbeted on the top of a stick. The stick was then decorated with white and green ribbons. This fandango was exhibited from door to door in the town where money was expected. All went to a whiskey house in the evening to drink the health of James II and curse the wren. Tradition says the wren leaped on the drum in Duke SCHOMBERG's camp at the BOYNE and wakened his men, so that they were ready for a deadly attack of James II, when Duke SCHOMBERG fell and James ran for his life. After my brother Robert retired from business and went to LUCAN, County DUBLIN to live, I was cleaning the flower beds in front of the house, when a pack of outlaws come to the door with a wren on a stick. To get rid of them and not knowing what it meant at the time, I offered them money. "No," said a fellow, "That is Orange Bill from the North, a relation of Schoenberg, let him put his money where Lanty put the pepper." ”William D. BREAKEY was present at the death of Duke SCHOMBERG and was one of those who did not let his body touch the ground in the moment of death, but like the monks with Cardinal WOOLSIE supported him as a mark of great respect.” ” "As Sure as a Gun" was a pet song of Duke SCHOMBERG and was always sung by the BREAKEYs in honour of his memory at every house warming. All hands on their feet.”

Sloan, Davy	16, 70		son of Jack SLOAN “Father in his early day saw the father of long Davy Sloan manure one of his steep hills with manure carried on horse's backs in sacks. That looks to people of the present day to be a cram, but it is quite true.” ”Long Davy Sloan, as we call him, was the first to sell grass seed at our MARKET HOUSE and so it can be said he established that market for us.”
Sloan, Jack	16		“Jack Sloan, prior to the birth of his son, Long Davy, reared the first white oats that were ever seen in BALLYBAY. The produce of one stone he brought from Liverpool. Two years after, he had 3 bags of white oats at the old MARKET HOUSE. They were the first oats of any colour that had been seen for sale and so it can be honestly said he established the first oat market in BALLYBAY. He, and the father of the late Hugh KARNS of TULLYCORBET, brought over each shorthorned roan heifers from Liverpool and they were the first to produce that breed about BALLYBAY and to their death they kept the lead for splendid milk cows. After the death of the late Hugh KARNS of TULLYCORBET, I saw one of his two year old springing heifers sold in the open market for ₤22 (pounds sterling).”

Stewart was considered by all to be the heir of minister Moses BRADFORD's wealth. But, after BRADFORD's death it was found, to the astonishment of every one who had this impression, that he had left a will bequeathing all his property -- not to his nephew but to Sam GRAY. Of course, the will was disputed, and proved to be a perjury, executed after the death of the alleged testator. This base ingratitude of Sam GRAY disgusted many, and turned away from him most of his faithful followers who, up to that, believed firmly that he was above all the powers of law.”

Thakombau & Tanau			Now I will change the subject to the death of King of the Fiji Islands Thakombau; the late cannibal King of the Fiji. This canibal began his blood- thirsty career at the tender age of six years, & inaugurated his reign by strangling his mother with his own hands. The influence of heredity was manifest in him, for his father, King Tanau was even a greater fiend than his son, which is saying a great deal. It was formerly the custom in Fiji to kill the victims destined for the ovens with clubs, but king Tanau conceived the pleasant little scheme of making the human joints arrange themselves all ready for cocking, and then roast them alive. If a bit behind his much to be feared father in inquity Thakombau far surpassed him in numbers of people he killed & ate. One of the minor chiefs whose opportunities for murder & cannibalism were presumably more limited than those of his sovereign used to keep count of his victims by means of a pile of stones. These reached a grand total of 872, and King Thakombau is known to have been considerably greater than this. All things considered it is well for the beautiful land of Fiji that King Thakombau is dead. When a wee boy I heard a traveler who had been out in those islands, deliver a lecture in BELFAST. He and his party come on a pack of natives who were cooking a girl with a stick ran through her body kept up at either end by stones once in a while turned over a fire. He had no bother in hunting them away & put the body under ground. Returning that way at the end of some days he found it had been raised & likely eaten up. Now my dear children we should thank God we have no wild animals, cannibals or even mad dogs to fear in our country.”

Frith THOMPSON answered them exactly as the drum man answered his priest. It is not the words we use in prayer it is the intention does the work. By this time they all saw a pleasure steam boat called the Devenish that run from ENNISKILLEN to BELEEK, Frith THOMPSON put up a red hankerchief. The captain saw it at once & put on full steam & was in time to save all. When all were safe on the steam boat, now said Frith you see what my prayer & the red hancherchief done.

Thompson, John	9, 56, 57		of SHANTNA ” The father of John THOMPSON of SHANTONAGH had a fine big dog with a lot of a thing like wool on him of auburn colour. Squire Corry said to THOMPSON, "You should clip your dog to represent a lion and he would look grand." THOMPSON did so, and Mrs. THOMPSON thought it would do well to make stockings out of the wool of the dog. So she left that coat by. The next year the dog was again shorn when she had quite enough to make a pair of stockings for her man. The colour was lovely and the stockings much admired by every one. When THOMPSON would put on the stockings on state occasions, dogs would go behind him lift their legs and make water on them. THOMPSON would not feel what was going on as the water was warm but when he would move his position he found his low heeled shoes full of water. People were sure to have, "who killed cock robin?" on the spot. One day THOMPSON was leaning on Frank HORNER's counter when a big dog came into the shop with a man and on the spot filled THOMPSON's shoes. When he stood up, he found his shoes in a so so state. THOMPSON got into a fearful rage and, for fear the dog would be killed, the man left with his dog in quick time. THOMPSON pulled the stockings off and threw them out on the street.” SEE LEWIS & LATIMER for more of this tale.

"Pat" had to run three years after each other (in succession) and win each year before he could lift the cup worth ₤180. It was in the August of 1839 he lifted the cup. I was about 6 years of age at the time. Colonel THOMPSON and I are about an age. The cup is to be seen in BUSHFORD HOUSE at present. "Pat" stands on the lid and the cup is like an urn in shape. "Poor Pat" was not buried in all honours like "Crazy Jane" with her hide and shoes on and fife and drum”

It was a very wet late harvest & people felt vary sad at heart over the prospect of bad meal, Wm. thought he would remind the Powers above of his premise and said you have promised us seed time & harvest & why do you not do it before all is lost. A jury was called over Wm's prayer & the verdict was like that writing on the wall. Thou art weighed in the balance & found wanting. The next time be stood up in the Society he was met with a rebuke somewhat similar to that an old lady met with in the Quaker meeting house in LISBURN. When the Spirit moved her to speak she made the grave mistake of saying shun the good & do the evil. An old rabbi across the house said by way of rebuke sit thee down sister Abigale thou hast said quite enough. Father took in hand to learn TODD to pray & in a short time he regained the stripes & was reckoned to be rather handy at prayer among them. “Father was talking to Wm. after the murder of Owen MURPHY, Father said the Devil met with GRAY that evening, no such thing said Wm. I was at a preaching in Rock that evening & the Devil was surely there for he made the preacher tell a lie and a hundred times worse than that he impeached God with telling a lie, for he said he had lived 20 years without sin. God says in the Bible no man liveth & sinneth not, and again he who saith he hath no sin calleth God a liar & the truth is not in him & in another place we are born in sin & shapers in iniquity Now said Wm. to father you are not giving the Devil common fare play, you know the Devil is not omnipresent he could not be in ROCK [ROCKCORRY or BLACK ROCK, DUNDALK?] & BALLYBAY at the one & the same time, you are floared I think I have put the box on the hackles said Wm.” ” Wm. was death on drinking whiskey, one time he said to an habitual drunk and I wonder at you destroying your means, health, happiness and family drinking whiskey, well said the man I am allays cowl & I take whiskey to make me warm, a woman told me lately she took whiskey to keep her cool now said Wm. which of you am I to believe. One thing I know said Wm. it makes some people do mean things, tell lies, laugh, sing, curse, steal, murder, commit suicide, delirium, adultery, cry, insane, tremulous, blind and what I detest religious, piety on a foundation of whiskey is unpardonable.”
Tolby, Margaret		22	“Now I think I will tell you about as strange a story as ever you heard of a woman who is dead lately & who was born on the battlefield of Waterloo. At Kirkalby Abbey Margaret Tolby was burried at the age of 86, had the unique distinction of being born on the battle field of Waterloo the day after the great battle. Margarets mother was the daughter of a corporal in the Scots GREYs & her father was a trooper in the same regiment. On the day after the battle, the corporals daughter &,other daughters of the regiment went out from Brussels to seek for the living amongst the dead. The wounded had already been removed & there only remained only what was considered heaps of slain. After long search she came on the body of her husband, identifying him by the initials on his clothing which she had worked in worsted with her own hands. She discovered that he still lived, and with the aid of two women she carried him to a place of succour. Overcome by the excitement & anguish of the day, & while still on the field of battle she gave birth to the infant, whose death is now recorded as an octogenarian.”
Tooley, Mrs.		51	TOOLEY (Sarah A): Royal Palaces and Their Memories. [on major British palaces, illustrated] Hutchinson. 1902. “Young people should see a book written by a lady Mrs. TOOLEY, Royal Palaces & their Memoirs. This lady tells a lot of interesting storys, among some of them is Windsor Castle & Buckingham Palace. The former was a favourite residence of King John. The reign of John forms the blackest history of the Castle. Of the many foul deeds which he committed therein, the diabolical murder of Maud de BRAUSE & her son stands out in lurid light. This lady was the wife of Wm. Dr BRAUSE, a powerful baron who had incured the Kings displeasure. John sent his emisarys to her demanding that she should yield her son as hostage for her husband; but the replied with more spirit than discretion that she would intrust her child to the person. who would slay his nephew. The unfortunate mother afterwards tried to propitiate. the King by sending to Windsor as a present to the Queen a herd of 600 cows all as white as milk exept the ears which was red, 400 was a big present. The herd lowed in the Royal pasture, but the donor was brought a prisoner to the castle & with her young son was cast into a vault of the Normon Keep, bricked up &left to starve. Like all the Plantagents John had a fearful temper. In fits of ill humour he would throw himself on the ground & eat the dust. Henry VIII was an emisary of the Devil too. Some Earl in England has the breed of DeBRAUSE's cattle still in a wild state & very dangerous to come in contact with.”
Toy, Tommy Rev.	76		“I heard the Revd. Tommy TOY of BELFAST lecture on the word pluck when I was a very wee boy. He said a lot of the old scriptural characters were men of fine pluck.”
