 STEAMER "PENNsYITANLA, July
 23.-It is almost '. m., and 1t Is
 with profound regret that l can't get
 my arms around the Green Isle and
 kiss the stone of Blarney Castlc with
 out having to wait til morning. But
 the Captain tells me he Las ac doubt
 I could reach round the "olo soo " if
 I had 8 fair show, though it being 0
 little foggy and dark otherwise. l
 might miss 1t grabbing out that way.
 I am getting little anxious to en-
 brace the little old real state that has
 caused more hell on 7ar5hthan Mex | leo and Arizona com bined. l like un-
 settled countries--they have so much
 variety; but I never could understand
 why they like whisky SC much in
 country where there are no snakes to
 bite people Oh, won't l have a picnic day after to-n 2rrow on the
 banks of tho Killarney Lakes-where you can lie round ii tbe grass with 10 snakes except in your boots
 l will now say that most of this hospital and Sunday school outfit will leave the vessel aT Queenstown in the morning and ''do" Ireland, instead of at present going on to Liverpool. Queenstown is on the south end of the island and once known as Cork har- bor. Cork Is six miles inland. l am tired of the opera glass business and anxious to begin the active duties of & tourist at once. It has been a very satisfactory voyage, however, and worthy of special ..,ol4tion q for certain reas ns. This is the second trip of the Philadelphia built iron propeller " P .nnsylvania ''-r ne prop erty of the American Stamsl D Com pany, Q new ao.ii ion nd off shoot of the ? yi,..iia Central R. R. Col.

 But the Steamer IS my present hobby. Its passenger Gccontmoda- tions-rooms and everytbing-are all of the modern style and first class, finish, and the cost of fare She Is very stanch | vessel and run as safe route as the | Atlantic affords, south of the fogs, | rocks, icebergs, etc., that send so . many good ships and better lives to and beyond. I infer that this ocean Is not very reliable con- oorn to take stock iu at best, but ! can see 10 use of alarm on this ships course at any time. It would not sur- prise mo to yet see the New York vessels forced down on the longor and safer route. But then we passed 6 Cunard steamer to-day that left New York the day we d,d Philadelphia. The Cunard is the crack line of the world, too. Perhaps she was be- logged, whereas we have not had lay that observations could not be satisfactorily taken. When this yes 'el gets worn Q little more and S crew )f fremen to suit, she will make the rip fast enough. If you lave any )ody to send over the water or advice bout 1t. speak of this line. It IS Q purely American institution-an at 1 empt 10 stop the Clyde builders from -lways running American shipping. . think one could most al rsys get oom Ie5s crowded by this line. The l . Ohio" will, in week or two, start ID her first trip, to be followed by the l Indiana and "Illinois;" in all, { our very superior vessels. I have lever had aught to do with more lever set of officers in any business, han those of this ship. This IS 6 (
