By Quaint Ceremonies in Brittany --Kindred Celts Meet:--Bretons Have Not Retained Lauguage. St. Pricuc, Aug. 200--The Pun-Celtie gathering is over, and the Bards, the Druids, and the Ovates back agaift to Wales. There has been a considerable element of the picturesque have gone in the proeeedings of the past few days, but to an outsider it must be admitted that the fetes in this pic turesque little town have appeared much more as an expression of Breton good-will to the whole of Great Bri tain rather than as an outburst of Celtic enthusiasm. Indeed, the, people of this part of rittany, Celtic as is their origin, re tain comparatively few racial charac teristics. Out of the huge crowd that filled the park on Monday to watch the bardic ceremonies, not five in a thom GIF MIEtosd the Dreton lan- guage, and even fewer had any idea of the meaning of the mystic rites, The retention by the Welsh of their own language, despite their near un- ion with England, and their loyalty to the English government, is one of the most curious ethnological facts of modern Europe, but the Bret have not retained their tongue to any thing like the same extent. The language is still spoken in the district of Finisterre, but it is not taught in the schools, and there are hardly any Bretons who do not speak French, though (here are many Welsh still who do not speak English Judging, too, by the men and wo who have represented Wales here dur ing the last few days, there would not seem to be much in common between the character and point of v of the two people. Tho Bretons are curi ously quiet for Frenchmen, but they lack the dourness of the Welsh. They have something of the same avorecia tion of music, without the Welsh ex cutive ability. They have the same instinctive good manners as are pos sessed by 'the Trish, Cornish, Welsh and other Celtic people, and their women both in beauty and virtue, may be compared with the [rish.
