Tha bean ann an Oregon ag obair air gearradh chlach o chionn fichead bhliadhna.
Cha'n eil soitheach an luingeas chogaidh Bhreatuinn gun chomunn stuamachd air bord.
Tha cuid-eigin ag radh nach biodh na h-uirid de dh'amaidain san t-saoghal, mur biodh gach neach a creidsinn gur h-e fein Solamh.
Tha comunn ann an Chicago ris a canair "Comunn Mhanesseh". Cha'n fhaod duine bhi dhe'n chomunn so ach daoine dubha aig am bheil mnathan geala.
"Thig an t-am," ars an tuathanach ri ' sgalaig, "anns an teid agam air leathsachadh a bharra a ghiulain 'na phocaid." "Agus nuair a thig an t-am sin" ars Alasdair, "faodaidh sibh am barr a ghiulain nur pocaid cuideachd."
Chaidh dealbh a reic anns an Fhraing, o chionn ghoirid, airson 6000 Franc, no suas ri $1000. Cha robh an dealbh ach sia oirlich air fad, 'us ceithir air leud; agus bha cuid a meas gu'n d'fhuair am fear a cheannaich i deagh bhargan.
Nuair a leughas tu am paipeir so, fench (?) gu'n cuir thu ga iarraidh leis a cheud phosta. Nach suarach leth-dolair 'nad phocaid an coimeas ri paipeir Gaelig a bhi tighinn 'g'ad ionsnsaidh (?) uair 'san t-seachdainn, bho thoiseach gu deireadh na bliadhna.
Aig tiodhlacadh droch uachdarain anns a Ghaeltachd, 'nuair a bha iad a cur na h-urach air, thuirt fear dhe na croitearan a bha lathair:-
"Cuiribh air! cuiribh air! 'S e chuireadh oirnne;
'S ma dh'eireas e rithist, Cuiridh e an coir oirnn!"
