The Roads of Ireland.

The public roads OF Ireland are abso-
lutely perfect. Go where you will
through the rural districts, and the roads
are thoroughly turn-piked, thoroughly
drained, and ss level as a board. The
bridges over the creeks and rivers are all
of stone. Every road has sidewalk for
foot passengers elevated about six inches
over the main road, and from four to six
feet wide. The fences on either side are
of solid stone masonry, to the height OF
from four to six feet, upon the top OF
which are growing hedges of hawthorn
or furze, or grass and flowers The walls
inclosing the roads are festeoued with
ivy and wild flowers, producing charm
ing effect. Every country seat is thus
''hedged in" from the outside world.
THERE'S no getting over this barrier, and
access can only be had through the lodge
gates, which are in charge of the lodge
keeper, generally woman, who admits
only favored few. The constabulary
are always on hand to arrest trespassers
"Tramps" have poor show in Ireland
They must keep to the roads--or 90 te

Stripping the Romance off the
Kate Southern Case.

We give in this paper the evidence
elected in the much talked of trial OF
Kate Southern. 1t differs as much as
light and darkness from the sensational
accounts we have been reading in certain
correspondence There is nothing in the
scenes, the surroundings, nor in the in
cidents to CLEAN a tithe of romance.
The whole wss a fight between two
women, while the gallant Bob Southern
and the rest looked on. They were all
very ignorant people. Kate and her
sister both centered on isis" Cowart.
There is no evidence that the man pres
ent tried to part the combatants, nor
does there appear to have been such a
scene as the sentimental writers picture,
of Bob, with pistol in hand, forcing
Kate's way through a crowd. All that
was the Imagination of fancy sketcher.
Kate Southern is not pretty even. She
is medium height, about twenty years
of age, and has dark brown hair and the
twang of North Georgia cracker She
is very ignorant, can hardly read and
write, and Bob is worse educated than
she. Kate is passably good-looking, and
wears imitation jet. She says the wit
nesses swore lies against her that she
acted in self-dsfense that she can not
dance, and that night at her fathers was
the "fust time she ever seed real run"
She is now on the plantation of Colonel
Smith, in Washington county, and will
be employed in the household, cooking
and washing for the convicts who work
on the plantation. The six-months
" baby" is sick-teething- that now
requires most of her time. She says no
money has been sent her from the north.
Her health is bad
Her sixteen-year-old sister, sentenced
TO two years as an accessory to Kate's
crime, has been in Colonel Smiths house
as servant She is handsome, and has
been taught TO read and write by her
kind mistress. On her fathers farm she
worked in the field and drove an OK to
the plow. Her sentence has proved
blessing.
Bob Southern is nothing but a strong.

ignorant, boor. He is now a guard to
convicts on the same plantation. The
Kate killed was on a par with |
The rest.
On reading this evidence one feels |
utterly disguised with the amount of
twaddle that has been ex-
pended on the case. Not scintilla can
De obtained to excite single expression
If admiration. Why, the parties sur
endered themselves to get reward, and |

The Electric Light.

One of Philadelphia's largest carpet
manufactures has recently put in the
electric light to illuminate its floors and
the device is a complete success. 1t con-
sists of Brush dynamo-elecsric ma
chine of $4,000 candle power, arranged
to give four separate currents, each run
ming all electric lamp of 5000 candle
power. Two of the lamps were placed on
the third floor, and two on the fourth
floor of the immense building, and when
the engine was started up the machine
started at the same time, and without
the slightest manual interference the
lamps flashed out their light in all its
maguificence. The effect was most bril-
liant. The rooms were flooded with a
pure white light like the light of the
sup, and it streamed out at all the win
dows, Illuminating houses and streets Tor
a long distance in every direction. The
ligh was very uniform, and steady, free
from the Pickering, and considering the
enormous Illuminating power, the light
was unexpectedly soft and endurable TO
the ewes. Estimates were made as to
the amount that the light furnished by
this apparatus would cost if used by the
Screw Company as it was used on this
occasion. and it was ascertained that the
total cost including the items of con-
sumption of carbon in the lsmp5, inter-
est on the investment, and wear and tear
would not otexceeJ thirty cents an hour.
The light produced was photometrlcally
equal to 500 gas burners. burning i've
feet of gas per hour each. This amount
of gas would cost So per hour.
