Blarney castle is now owned by tie young
Lord of Blarney, who has inherited a great
estate surrounding it. He has had much
trouble with his tenants and some Of the lands
are lying Idle, One of his tenants not long
since refused to pay the rent demanded of
him and he was evieted. The young lords
agent tried to get another tenant, but when a
tenant is turned out on such grounds it
would not be safe for another man to take
She property. The lands of this tenant were
left idle for q year or two, and a short time
ago he was reinstated upon his own terms.
AS we drove from Cork to Blarney other
empty houses were pointed out to us, and one
driver told us that these were idle on account
of such evictions.
The country drives through ireland are
very beautiful, and about Cork they are like
driving through continuous gardens. The
roads are piked and they are as smooth as q
floor. The green fields are separated from
them by walls of stone and hedge and great
trees, the trunks of which are covered with
Ivy, hang over them. Now and then you
pass the entrauce to the mansion of some
great lord, who has his porter's lodge beside
it, and who owns his acres often by the tens
of thousands.
Along these roads about Cork, and here and
there scattered over the landscape. are
numerous one-story cabins, of stone or Of
%stneco, washed With a coat of glazing white
wash. TGsgy ~ usually of one low story and
an attic, and their roofs are OF matched
straws. This thatch, in many instances, is
old and broken. The grass grows in it, and
the moss springs up all over 1t. The edge Of
the roof Is often no higher tkan a mans head,
and many of these huts nave but one room.
Few have more than two. They belong to
small tenants, men who have from one to
thirty or forty acres of land, at a rent OF
fromsS5 to $40 per acref for 1t. Think of pay
ing $500 a year rent for forty acres of land,
with a cabin hardly fit for a hog pen on 1t,
and you have the condition of these people.
Nearly the whole of Ireland is rented out
by landlords who live in England, and who
spend their money there. Many of them
never come to Ireland at all. Others lave
never seen their estates. and there are many
who get from $4,000 to 100000 q year in
ana land IN Ireland rents from 70 to $50
per acre. "A gooo average would perhaps be

The street scenes of Cork are like those of
no city in Europe. The vehicles are all two
wheeled, from the jaunting car, which dashes
along at a four minute pace with its load OF
pretty Irish girls or English tourists, to the
heavy cart, which drags on its two wheels o
load of stone; from the mail wagon, with its
gaudy colored paint, to the little donkey
cart. whose animal is not half the size of its
driver aud would not weigh much more than
q Newfoundland dog.
The jaunting car is the hackney cab Of Ire
land. You find it everywhere and all glasses
use it. There are three kinds, outside; iIs,ds
and covered cars, and I give you mere pict-
ures OF eiich.. The most used, however, Is the
open one, or the outside jaunting car. The
seats of this are cushioned and the frame
work is painted In bright colors. TIL seats

There are many seca stores iii Cork, but
few like the American ones you would find in
a ciGy OF $780, 900. Their storerooms are, as a
rule, small, and their stock of goods meager.
Thesmaller stores tumble their goods into the
windows, with no attempt at tasteful arrange
ment, and the sign Of a small grocery store Is
a window filled with greasy hams and vege-
tables. The meat markets, or butcher shops,
all have one wide window opening on to the
sidewalk, and the ledge of This window Is the
meat counter, on which the cuts arc carved
and weighed. In the better class Of butcher
shops this counter is u marble slab; in the
poorer it is of wood.
Saloons in Cork are well patronized, aud
you will find both women and men drinking
at them. They are known here as spirit and
wine %stores,n and have signs of this kind.
Another curious store here is "rhe Potato
Store" where potatoes alone are sold, The
potato is the staple food of the lower classes,
and you will see these stores everywhere.
Potatoes are worth now about the same as in
America. Those l have eaten are very fine,
and from the general health of the people 1
soc there can be no better diet III the world.

as a rule, better than the cab horses / nave

The inside ~jaunting car has seats turned in
ward, and the covered car has a top, which
makes it look much like an oilskin tent on
wheels. Neither of these are much used,
however, and the open vehicle is the f~avorite.
1t was in one of these j%aunting cars that l
rode out to Barney castle. 1t lies about five
miles from Cork, and it, about 47O years ago,
formed the residence of some of the Irish
kings. Both Cromwell and King William
III besieged it, and the latter, after the battle
of the Boyne, in the time of our several times
great-grandfathers, took it and demolished
all but the donjon tower. This remains to-
day in good preservation, and promises to
defy for years the assaults of Time and the
ivy. Grass and vines grow in its c~revices,
and over its top, 100 feet high, the height of a
good long church spire, the green leaves have
twined Themselves. This tower is many feet
square, and has numerous dark rooms.
1t is built of granite, and there is a winding
stairway which leads to the top. TIL tower
is wonderfully well constructed, and the
architect of to-day would find it hard to
duplicate it.
The Blarney stone is about twenty feet
from the top and though the guide books say
otherwise, it is impossible to kiss it and live.
Some travellers are shown other stones and go
away imagining hat in kissing these that
they carry with them the mysterious power
given by kissing the Blarney stone as de-

THE LAnfsfED DEAD.


The following appropriate notice
of the great men who have died
within the last year We clip from the
Cleyelrnd Plan Dealer:
"One year ago the Sth of August,
occurred the. funeral of Gen. U. s.
Grant in New York. The magnifi-
cent cortege that passed through the
streets of that great city, escorting
to their last resting place the re-
mains of the great military leader of
the country, was led by that mag
nificent soldier and gallant Ameri-
can General Hancock. Upon him
all eyes were turned as, sitting erect
upon his splendid charger, he moved
slowly along among the great lines
of people with their heads uncover.
ed. He was the very beau-ideal of
a soldier. No one thought that
within year the healthy looking
man and soldier,wh had such hold
on the affections of the people, and
who bad exhibited so much gallantr,
in war and magnanimity and good
sense in peace, would be sleeping,
like Grant, the sleep that knows no
waking. "But no more will Han
cock hear the roar of Hampton's
guns" either in deadly conflict OF
friendly political strife. He and the
.'old commander" rest from the con-
fict, both embalmed in the recollec-
tions of the people.

funeral, being on the Pacific Coast,

ter is about as follows:

bic between him and his wife. re-
marked that was none of any conse-
quence, that they were only fooling.

after remaining there awhile, father
suggested that we saddle the horses
and go to Swank's, but he told my
step-mothcr that we were going to
Kuntz's to see them threshing.-
Then my little brother told him
they we're done and the threshers
had gone away, when he told him to
hush. We went away on the horses
and remained some time. We came
back and sat upon the porch, father
was quarrcling with me, and at one
time asked me if / "knew what my
name was. / answered that did,
when he said that | ''did not have
any, and for me to shut my d-d
mouth" At the time l was sitting
upon the railing with a small knife
in my hand cleaning my finger nails.
He was very mad and told Inc again
to shut up when the women grabbed
him by the arms, he told them to go
away, and struck me on the jaw with
his fist, and remarked, D. you,
| will kill YOU" and in his efforts to
strike me jumped against the knife.
| did not know he was cut until
wiped the knife off and threw it into
the yard. When | was informed by
my wife that father was dead.

he was dying but he did not reply,
