ANCIENT IRELAND.

WOODEN and Linen Fabrics and Metal
Work In the Good Old Days.
Poets and rhetoricians have IN their usual
free and easy way exaggerated the materi.
al prosperity of ancient Ireland, saws Com
missioner Mccarthy in Harper's Magazine.
Much OF the splendor attributed to Celtic
Kings and Bishops and bards fades under
the cold light Of historical research. But
this very research has putbeyond all doubt
tnat beneath the exaggerations of rhetoric
and song there lay solid substratum of
truth. Thus the publication by a parlia-
mentary commission of the immense and
previously almost UNEMPLOYED mass of legal
Institutes known as the "Brehon Lawsn
has verified the fact that at a time when
Brltons were almost naked savages the
irish kelts were clad in woolens and linens
OF their own manufacture. The Brehon
laws abound with references not only to
wooden and linen goods, but to carding,
weaving. dyeing and the other processes of
their manufacture. Again, in the remark
able metrical account of the rights of the
monarchs Of Ireland and the provincial
Kings, attributed to a contemporary Of st.
Patrick, and known as the "Book of
Rights" we find that tribute was paid to a
large extent in cloaks, tunics, nantes and
other articles OF wooden and linen manufact-
ure, some white, some brown, some
trimmed with purple, some with fur, and
some with gold. We can see for ourselves
something of what was done in the more
durable materials. Textile fabrics, except
OF the coarsest kind, perish in far less time
than ], 200 years. But metal-work, if good
in material and design, survives Accord
lngly we have abundant specimens of such
work come down to US from the Kettle
period. Many of these are rough, but many
are rich in material, good in design, and is ex-
qulsltely skillfuli in workmanship. Some were
found deep below the surface of our boys,
where probably they were dropped in flight,
and got gradually covered with peat in the
slow lapse OF centuries. Others were found
in stone chambers made for their reception,
and forgotten for more than 1000 years
Vast quantities of the gold-work were con-
signed to the crucible. Some goldsmiths
estimate that they purchased and melted
down as much as 10000 worth of ancient
Kettle gold-work found from time to time
in Ireland. But fortunately much also has
been preserved. There is quite a magnifi-
cent collection of works in gold, silver and
bronze in the museum of the ROYAL Irish
Academy in Dublin. Besides these there
are many fine specimens in Trinity Col
lege, Dublin, and in the British Museum.

Tho Drummer's Dream.
A little room in a little hotel
In a little country town,
On little bed with a musty smell
man was lying down
a great big man, with great big snore-
For he lay on his back you see
And peaceful look on his face he wore
For sound asleep was he.
In his dreams what marvellous trips he made,
What tremendous bills he sold;
And nobody failed, and every one paid,
And his ord ers were as good as gold.
lie smiled and smothered n scornful laugh
When his fellow-drummer bowed,
For he knew no other had sold the half
OF what his order book showed.
He got this letter from home one day:
Dear Sr-We'ye no litter term
To use in your case than simply 10 say,
Henceforth you are one OF the firm"
And glorious change this made in his life:
He now from the road withdrew,
And really soon got 10 know his wife,
His son and his daughter, too.
And then he moved from his obscure fat
To a house on the avenue,
Lived swell, was happy, got healthy and fat,
Respected, and wealthy. too.
But with a thump bang - whang - thump-
bang again
The landlord stood at the door
ats putty uign time for that G:lO train!'
And the drummcrs dream was DER.

ConscIenee and Krsutzer..

Maria Theresa, of Austria, was greatly
addicted to gambling, and played for ex-
ceedingly high stakes. The court function
aries did all IN their power to overcome this
passion, but to no purpose They finally
appealed to the Empress's confessor, who
induced the imperial gamester not to give
up cards, but to play for only a copper
kreutzer a point. The cunning Empress,
however, ordered her jeweler to make her
100 kreutzers in a peculiar manner 50 that
each one could be opened in the middle and
aducat inserted The two pieces were put
together SO that only the initiated knew
that they Were not what they seemed. Thus
the Empress kept the letter of the con-
fessor's demand and at the same time en-
joyed the excitement in whichshe delighted

A WoMAN's REVENGE.
HOW Lovely Creature Got Even with q

HOW a Lovely Creature Got Even with a
Cross COunter-Jumper.
In one of the largest dry-goods stores in
TINS city there is particularly cross sales
man, says the Chicago Tribune He is
altogether too superb creature to be be-
hlnd dry-goods counter, and when he
does condescend to wait upon a customer
so the women say-it is such favor that it
is really painful. Yesterday young wom-
an who had suffered at his hands got even
with him in the highest style of the art.
She had been selecting the material for a
dress Tor an out-of- town friend and the dis
agreeable salesman had chosen TO assume,
when she asked for samples, that she had
no intention of buying, and had loftily re-
1erred her to some one else, intimating as
much. The young woman had bought at
least half dozen dresses at that counter.
and she vowed vengeance
Yesterday she walked up to this superb
creature with her sweetest and most de-
mure air. She had sample of cashmere
that she knew couldn't be matched in Chi
cago, ana she sat down in front of him with
out word.
If there is any thing that he hates-so
the women say-it is to take down goods
from the shelves; but when a sample is
brought in to be matched he can't help him
self He was in particularly lofty frame
of mind yesterday and picked up the un-
offending sample with the condescension of
Duke at the feast. After he had taken
down three heavy bolts OF cloth he
grumbled:
How many yards of cloth do you re-
quire!'
Two, she answered, with her sweetest
smile. After he had taken down two or
three more he impatiently remarked to
space:
Rather an unusual shaded"
''Yes."
he took down several more and scowled
rs 1t necessary to have an exact match!"
he finally asked.
Yes; it must match perfectly" said the
young woman, decidedly. The salesman
knows his business, If he is dlsagreeable-
so the women say-aud, giving disguised
kind of sniff, he went to work again.
Finally, after he had taken down at least a
dozen pieces and gone over his entire
stock, he brought her piece.
This is the best can do,' he said, spite
fully; ARE you sure your sample came from
this stOrea"
"Oh, no." smiled the young woman, de-
murely, Il got it in New York, and knew
you couldn't match it,"

When you ask of the sweet ruby Inns inst

And swear that no maiden is dearer;
When you pour forth your love in a passionate

And vow to die sooner than grieye her.
