The three L's will soon occupy as prominent a position in thn present agitation as did the three F"s. The under-named ladies of Brosna. having written to Miss Fanny Parnell on the above subject, have received this reply we append :—: — Bordentown, New Jersey, Nov. 27th, 1880. Miss Minnie O'Carroll, Miss Nellie O' Carroll, Miss Mary O'Carro'.l — Ladies — Your extremely patriotic letter hag been forwarded to me here from the New York Hotel. I feel the utmost pleasure and gratification at its contents, and take much pride in learning that my feeble appeal to Irish-American ladies published in the papers here has reached Ireland, and gained me the pleasure of reading such a letter from my countrywomen. The Women's Land League, formed here six weeks ago. has been amazingly successful, and branches of it are spreading like wildfire all over America. I trust that after you have established your League, it may have a similar success. If the Government imprisons all the members of the men's Land League, then let the women's Land League come to the front, and carry on the battle. All that will be necessary for you to dc will be to send letters or postal cards to all the ladies you know of, who you think would be willing to join your League, asking them in turn to act as recruiting sergeants, and invite all the ladies they know. If you have a patriotic local paper you should get a call to the women of Ireland published in it, stating the objects of your League, and inviting all to join. You, ladies, can employ with tremendous effect the weapon of •• social ostracism," which is used in the Irish Land League. Shun as if they were criminals all men and women who buy crops or stocks that have been seized for non-payment of rent, or who take farms from which other farmers have been evicted for non-payment of rack-rents ; at the same time set your faces steadily against murders and outrages of all kinds. Every time a landloid or an agent or a farmer who grabs land from his neighbour is shot in Ireland, it hurts this Land League, diminishes its influence, and diminishes the sympathy felt in America for Ireland, and the flow of money that goes on from America to the Land League ; besides which it gives the Irish a bad name they do not deserve. As women, you can do much good in preventing foolish crimes, which are not necessary, and injure our cause. After you have got a sufficient numher of ladies togetner to begin with, fix your entrance fee at whatever you think the ladies can afford, whether one shilling or sixpence per year, aud one penny a week if you can. Forward all money you collect to Mr. Patrick Egan, treasurer of the Dublin Land League, and ask to have your remittances acknowledged in the Ration, to encourage other ladies to join. I enclose the circular of our Land League. Hoping to hear again from you and of you — I remain sincerely yours, Fa.nny Pa.RNELL.
