DUBLIN, IRELAND. September e.
After passing for three or four hours
along a lonely and forbdding coast, the
first sign of human life which one sees
in Ireland is a redcoat and a flashing
bayonet on the heights outside Queens
town, where a British sentinel PAGES
his lonely rounds. After passing
through Ireland and noticing every
where the signs of military occupation,
the last impression one gets of the UNI
happy island is of gaily-decked squad
ronS, tramping regiments and shrill
military music in the streets of Dublin.
The dominant impression of the country
which remains in the mind, rising above
the ruins, the pigs, the jauntng cars
and the beautiful hills and lakes, is
that it is held under subsection by mill
tary force.
At the very bottom of the military
pyramid is the police force, or what cor

the police force is popular institution.

is the seat and centre of viceregal pomp

the castle hangs a small knot of people,
principally connected with it in one ca

and its garrison for trade. Altogether
they form circle which may be COM
