dos, the high mountains, the wealth Of tim
Der, the rarity of the atmosphere, which
enables one to easily see across an entire

binary revolver look like the Hoosac tun-
nell All these 1 told him about, as we
rode gaily along in our russell colored
jaunting car with Maud S. doing the pull
ing.
Maud S. is bay mare of about middle
age, with green grass style of embon-
point, as we say in France, which prevents
her attaining a great velocity without
training down a good deal.
After had told the driver all could
think Of he yawned little, / thought, and
said, Eyes, l am always interested in
Americky and shall be all my loif, for

I then spoke of the scenery through
which we were passing George w. F'loI d
bought small flask of Irish whisky while
wewere on the old sod. l drank some OF it
on the way over here. / now see why Ire
land feels that she has been grievously
wronged. That is exactly the way felt.
We also bought several shillalahs, some
times called the original home. They are
made of black thorn with protuberance
on the top, out of the root of the thorn.
This mob rebounds from the head with
great elasticity so as TO give several blows
with only one propulsion, so to speak. This
combined with the popular beverage, seems
to offer the best facilities in Ireland for
spirited and earnest controversies over any
thing which may present itself. But serl-
ously the Emerald Isle seems 70 be more
hopeful of peace and prosperity than for
many years past, according TO the authority
of the best read Irishmen and especially OF
the clergy, among them the very Reverend
James Hegarty, who was 4 fellow passen-
ger and who talked very cheerfully of the
Irish situation at present, feeling as he said
that it must certainly very soon and with
out serious disturbance, adjust itself TO the
satisfaction of every one with the exception
of those perhaps, whose opinions are not
valuable
Next to the policeman, the railway guard
of the old country interests me. Having
been accustomed to the clear, resonant
and Evolutionary elevated railway guard
and his bright, crisp remarks about the
stations as We pass along, l was III pre-
pared to be fastened into railway car
rage by myself with no conductor to con
verse with, no brakeman to bore hole
into the effete atmosphere with his cork
screw voice, no pearutter to come and lean
whole circulating library on my bosom
or show me the scenery as he pointed out
the beauties of our latest and most sue
cessful smutty novel, fresh from the hands
of its bright young school girl author
That is why l was carried past my
station, and instead of Liverpool, turned
up at Scotland Yards once, at another
time, in gazing up tho Thames, found my
self after little nap, at a station called
Chester. Several times l was carried TO
the end of the road when l had intended
TO stop on the way, and would have lost
good deal of time only that one can only go
far enough away from London so that he
will be able to get back in half an hour.
If one should go further than that he would
drown,
