Names of irish Towns.

What is the origin of the names Tipperary.
Waterford Cork, Kerry, Limerick and Clarel
Tipperary is derived from Tiobraid-Arann (pro-
nounced Tbrad Auran). the well of Ara, the an
cient territory in which it was situated The
we'll that gave this name to the town and thence
to the country was situated in the main street,
but it is now closed up. Waterford is Danish
name. The old form was Waterford. the latter
part of which is the northern word florida sea
inlet Cork is derived from the Irish
word, corcach-a marsh. The city grew
around monastery founded in the sixth
century on the edge of marsh by st. Finbar,
and even yet part of the city is call the Marsh.
The origin of the name Kerry is this: The de-
scendants of Ciar pronounced KERR was called
Ciarraighe pronounced Kerry l. e., the race of
Ciar. They possessed the territory lying west

are mostly foreigners or provincials who have
come up to town for round of dissipation. Sew
eral years ago the public bathrooms were closed,
and the market, which used to be held within
four wallis, is now transferred to the open street.
The police des m@trs does not exist in London,
and the capital of this country, so moral and so
Christian, exhibits sights too heartrending to
imagine. Girls of fourteen or fifteen, with dyed
hair and wanloekfng faces. daubed with paint,
stand about drunk and in rags soliciting the
passers-by for vile wage. Worn out with
fatigue, they drop in the gutter at daybreak.
They have been up and down the street for six
mortal hours! 1t is horrible The inhabitants
of London are beginning to take the matter up;
petitions are being prepared. 1t is high time.
The drunkenness on the streets is indescribable.

A GLIMPSE OF Nj. WORTH.

A Leader Ofthe Worlds Fashions Broken Be
of Duties that Overtask Him.
Paris Letter in New York Mail and Express,
There is no better amusement, if one has the
run of Worth's than to sit in the salon and oh
serve the procession of women that file through.
The other day l saw Worth come from his place
of hiding to talk with person of Importance
When he had finished and was about to go, a
wall of supplication broke forth: Mr.. Worth
you will think of me-" ''Mr WORTH you will DO
something for me-" mir. Worth, give me just
one minute" AT that moment, for it seems
Mr.. Worths retirement had been genuine. sew
eral employees came in, eager also to catch his
attention. First one, then another, asked him
hastily some whispered question Others, trail
ing samples of rich silks, held them inquiringly
before his eyes. Suddenly his face grew pur-
plish red, the veins of his forehead sweled, he
closed his eyes, shut tight his hands, as if in
great tension-the gesture of man putting
with great effort, a restraint upon himself
holding himself together, SO to speak.
They are killing me" he mur1nured. ''They
are all ON my back; they are weighing me to the
earth" The employees fell back awe-stllcken,
the wall of the women ceased, and a dead silence
fell on the room. The moment was really sol
emn, for the suffering of the man was too evil
dent. In a short time he recovered himself, said
a few words, and left the room.

''Oh, yes, very well. He and l were together

Baker, who was then captain in the Tenth
Hussars, did some gallant work don't know
what his capabilities a general, but he
was a splendid light cavalry soldier, and as
brave a man could be found anywhere. There
is no doubt that in that episode with Miss Dick
inson he was the victim of conspiracy, and he
would have been afterwards reinstated in his
position in society and rank in the service had
he wished, but he preferred TO remain in Tur
key. 1t shows how much of gentleman the
man was, as when he was on cross examination
he declined to answer certain question rather
than betray any weaknesses concerning the
lady which he had knowledge of. Of course
Miss Dickinson had sort of position in society
and was the sister of brother officer, but that

Small bonnets and round hats of medium sizes
continue to make up the bulk of the importations
of millinery. The new small capotes have the
brim lifted slightly above the head, that IL
may be trimmed inside with shirred puffs of vel
vet, or else there is a coronet band Of the straw
rolled back to the front of the bonnet, and this
is to be covered with velvet that may be either
smooth or gathered. Some of these bonnets
have pointed sides coming low down behind the
ears, while others are rounded off quite short on
the sides and have the long crown with a round
top now used in the Langtry bonnet. In other
small bonnets the crown is large and square,
with the sides pressed outward to make room for
the high, yet soft, couture which is worn on the
ton of the head. Thus far no polles are seen,
and there are very few of the rather large bon
nets that are liked by elderly ladies.

Tennyson's Cycle of Cathay."

1t was shown in this column, a short time
since, that a celebrated line in one of Lord Ten
nyson's poems has undergone more than one
change. The other evening, at the dinner of the
''Odd Volumes, when several oriental authori-
ties were assembled to hear Mr.. Quaritchs lee
ture, it was mentioned by Chinese scholar that
when Lord Tennyson wrote 'Locksley Hall' he
could not have been aware of the exact nature of
a Chinese cycle. ''Better" he exclaimed, fifty
years of Europe than cycle of Cathay." It be
ing granted that Cathay is poetical English for
China it was stated, with the complete concur
that a Chinese cycle consists, and has consisted
for some centuries, of sixty years. By these
cycles the lapse of time has been computed in
China during the whole of the present dynasty.
Our poet, therefore, was less complimentary to
Europe than he probably intended to be when
he said that fifty years of Europe were only
equal to sixty years of China. Perhaps he was
not so far wrong after ALL
