in a back yard Following in himself he
stayed through the play: Joined III the apt
plause, pronounced it capital fun and went
away convinced that Wilson Barrett was not
the thief he was in quest Of. '.~ S g.. =;
Three years before all this, when O lad OF
1o, he stood ono night in O pouring rain
storm, wrapped in an old sack from the corn
dealers and with his broken boots full Of
water, in front of the Princess theatre, then
in its best days under Keen's auspices, and
quietly determined that ho would manage
that play house before he died. And he lived
to do so Then. too, it was that he would pay
half crown to the master carpenter to be
admitted to the flies, much to the perplexity
of the same master carpenter, who wondered
why tho queer boy didn't save the six pence
and sit in the pit and hear the play. But
Wilson Barrett early felt that great success
in any profession depended upon thorough
mastery Of every branch of that profession.
In, order to study the play free Of charge, he
learned The violin and got an engagement in
the orchestra; and III order to get on the
stage he took lessons in dancing whenever he
could pay for it; and it was as dancer that
be made bis first public appearance He per-
formed so well between acts that the como
dim whose benefit hc enlivened took fancy
h him and taught him broadsword combat,
which Barrett practised in his own room on
Sunday mornings, thinking it might be of
some use to him sometime. That same como
dian and his son arc now members Of Mr..
Barrett's travelling company
Young Barrett had now decided in his own
mind to abandon oil other employments and
make his living by acting. But formidable
obstacle lay in his way-his parents werc op.
posed to the measure. His father felt terribly
and prophesied utter failure, while the beads
of the printing firm did their utmost to dis
s,lado him. But Wilson Barrett stuck to his
purpose and succeeded ut once. In ten weeks
time lie had passed from the smallest parts to
playing tho leading young man parts. His
success has been steady from that day to this,
md has always been attended by such conduct
as to win for him the personal regard and ar
tistic appreciation of the theatre going public.
Mr.. Barrett is not only q fine actor and an
able manager, but also a good citizen and q
perfect gentleman. His generosity, both in
purse and sympathy, to the members Of his
own profession and to the needy in other
walks of life has been too great and constant
not to be well known, although he himself has
always been silent about it. When lie real
ized his boyhood's ambition and become mas
ter OF the Princess theatre. that house was of
its lowest point. But III less than five years
he knew how to bring it up in every depart
ment to the highest degree yet reached in any

The round towers OF Ireland arc remarka-
bio ruins, tho use Of which Is not known,
though it is supposed that they were the
watch-towers of the people against the Danes,
away back when England and Ireland wcro
almost savage countries. Between Killarney
and Dublin there is one of these towers i'll al

the Rock Of Cashcl, is made Of sandstone, and
is as high rs al eight-story house, or ninety

took a days drive in MI open stage over
the mountainous hills of southern Ireland,
going through what is called its most pictur-
es;uc scenery md stopping ut the Lakes or
Killarney. Leaving Cork by rail, we rode
about two hours through Cork county to d
little town named Bantry, owned by Lord
Bantry, one of the nabobs of the county, ami
from here drove about three hours to the Bay
of Glengariff. Tho drive oil this way was
largely through this lords lands, and rich
fields, fat sheep and cattle, and paupers were
the CHEF features of the landscape. Bantry
is named after the noble family which OWLS
it, and this owning of a town is not uncom-
mon here. All the houses or money Of the
little Irish town arc owned by one man whose
agent rents them out to tenants. In other
cases the tenant rents TIE land on a long
lease and builds stores and houses upon them.
These in turn he re-rents, and by paying
a ground rent of from S. upwards for little
block of ground, builds a property upon it
which will rent for q tar interest OH bis. III

These little towns scattered over southern
Ireland are much like the Cork suburbs.
They have no gardens, have no architectural
beauties, and the poorer parts Of them are
not fit for such hermits as Dickens Tom It'd

children. added to the father and mother.
The roads Of Ireland are fine everywhere,
and the improvements in the yay of bridges
are of the most substantial character. In
this days ride through the mountains we were
OIL pike all the way, and in some cases the
road was cut through solid rock. Wo drove
