Of Welsh Ancestry.

“Wales,” said a Western Welshman, “has given three presidents to the United States—Jefferson, Adams and Moproe. Thomas Jefferson was pure Welsh, too, and the Welshmen of New York are now organizing a movement to erect a grand monument to him. There are 5,000,000 Welsh and their immediate descendants in this country, and over 1,200,000 pure Welsh and their flrat descendants. The Welsh, Irish and Scotch are, in my opinion, all offshoots, of the little band of Aryians passed over from Little Brittany and settled on what are now the British Isles. ’’
