several years on his farm. There are
thousands of black walnut trees grow
ing wild in the woods of Pierce coun-
ty, and if once started here there
would be no doubters as to their
hardness. They grow rapidly and
fruit early, and withal, are very pretty
shade trees. The climate here is not
too severe for filberts, chesnuts or hick-
DRY nuts. The only trouble about the
business, they need starting and a
little care at first. Beech would do
well here from the seed, but the seed
is wanting.-St CrOir Republican.

they go iolting along on the springs, and the
raw Irishman who sits just behind drives

In case he has a full car of four passengers
he sits in the center, but If only one or two he
must take one of the side seats or the car
would be unbalanced and go over at the first
turn of a corner. One of the drivers in Cork
says: "The outside car is the best. It's mighty
convenient, for If ye have u lady wild We she
is all to yourself to spake to and to fall In
love wild, and for that raisou the ladies pre-
fer them. ~
These haunting car drivers are good fellows,
as a rule, and the promise of a fee OF q few
pence makes them very friendly and ioqua-
cious. One of them drove myself and another
American about ten miles for s1.75, and when
/ paid him SO, instead of the price agreed
upon, ne seemed hardly able to express his
gratitude. Car fares are very cheap in Ire
land. In the larger cities twelve cents is the
fixed tariff of a rid from one point to another
for one or two persons, and tfo persons can
get a car for an hour, with the driver, for
~thirty-seyen cents inside the city and fifty
cents outside. A jaunting car cost, from
500 to $50, and a very good one can be gotten
for S125. You can hire them to take you all
over the country, and they make the best of
sightseeing c~onveyances. The drivers tell

The round towers of Ireland are remarka-
BILE ruins, the use of which is nor Known,
though it is supposed b sts:liey s9she tho

and Dublin there is one of THESE towers in al
most perfect preservation. 1t is known rs
the Rock of Cashel, is made of sandstone, and
is as high as an eight story honse, or ninety
feet. There was an abbey built near this
during the middle ages, hut it is in ruins,
while the tower, much older than it, stands
out a proud monument of early Celtic archi-
lecture.
| took a days drive in an open stage over
the mountainous hills of southern Ireland,
gong through what is called its most pictlr-
esque scenery and stopping at the Lakes of
Killarney. Leaving Cork by rail, we rode
about two hours through Cork county to a
little town named Bantry, owned by Lord
Bantry, one. of the nahohs of the county, and
from here drove about three hours TO the Bay
of %Glengariif. The drive all this way was
largely through this lords lands. and rich
fields, fat sheep and cattle, and paupers were
the chief features of the landscape. Bantry
is named after the noble family which owns
it, and this owning of a town is not uncom
mon here. All the houses or money of the
little Irish town are owned by one man whose
| agent rents them out to tenants. In other
| cases the tenant rents the land on n long
lease and builds stores and houses upon them.

on a pike all the way, and in some cases the

DUBLIN, Sept, 4.-Landing at Queenstown.
/ came at once to Cork, the third city of Ire
land, and the capital of the south. 1t is
beautifully situated ON the banks of the Lee,
and it is surrounded by a country rich and
rolling. My guide book proudly says it has
increased 1000 in the last ten years, and it
has now a population of 104 900 people. The
streets of Cork are as irregular as those Of
Boston, but they are wider and better paved.
st. Patrickts street, which is the chief one,
has some fine stores, and, commercially, it
seems to be prosperous. The city is a great
shipping port, and all the cattle, sheep and
agricultural products of south Ireland are
sent from here to England. Ireland raises
the best meat in the world, though she is too
poor to eat it, and / saw sheep, COWS and
horses by the hundreds driven through the
streets in front of my hotel, on their way to
the boats. Cork butter is advertised all
through England and in the other Irish
cities, and the tweed mills at Blarney, near
Cork, make soma OF the best cloth made in
the kingdom. This tweed outwear the
Scotch make, and it is very cheap here. A
good suit of clothes, made to order, can be
got for from S12 to SIS, and | have seen adj
vertisements in the tailors' windows offering
good goods as low as $40 per suit.
There is little brick used here in building,
and the Cork business blocks lack the archi-
tectural beauties of an American street of the
same sized city. Stone and stucco seem to
prevail in building materials, and everything
is massive and somber. The smaller houses
of the city, or the dwellings of the laboring
! ! classes, aTv low viie or uvv-suoTy houses, CON
tanning from one to four rooms, and having
no ornamentation whatever. These are built

are coated with whitewasb. TIL houses stand
close to the street, without gardens, and in
the suburbs the chickens and geese and such
other animals as the owner may be fortunate
enough to own share the huts. The outside
of these houses are rarely clean. They have
no yards, and the floors are oftener of dirt
than of stone or wood.
