Mr. P. J. Power’s name must be added to the list of eminent Irish public men who have since the Union died out of Ireland. Sir John Parnell, Grattan, Curran, O’Connell, Smith O’Brien, Biggar, Parnell, Gavan Duffy have all passed away ‘ far from the land.’ Sir John Parnell is buried in St. George’s, Hanover square; Grattan in Westminster Abbey. Curran’s body twenty years after his death was brought from Paddington j Church vaults and rests in Glasnevin. Smith O’Brien i died in North Wales. Gavan Duffy in Nice; his remains, like Parnell’s, were brought back to Ireland and repose, too, in Glasnevin—whither the body of O’Connell, who in the earlier generation had died in Genoa, was also brought, his heart having been embalmed and sepultured in St. Agatha’s Church in Rome.
