belion he enlisted at Hoboken, In Com
pany D, First Regiment OF Infantry OF
Gen. Phil. Kcarney's Brigade. lie was

the time OF the battle OF Gaines Mills, in

In politics General Donnelly is staunch
Democrat, but is highly popular with all
parties. lie will enter upon his new dut-
les at once and divide his time between
his new Office at the State House and his
business enterprises at the Opera House.
Several prominent military men were
candidates for this position, but Colonel
Donnelly's candidacy was backed by un-
usual strength from both parties, business
men, military men, and the Grand Army
of the Republic. Probably no appoint
ment was ever received Ia the State with
such general satisfaction. The promotion

NHARLES s. PARNELL is beyond question
~ the man most in the forefront of affairs to-

years, though his presence was seldom vouch-
safed- Now that influence which he has welded
with such despotism is in danger the public,
without discussing the sayings or doings of a
man 80 much akin to Napoleon, may be inter-

his lodge in the mountains, where he goes
every year for the game shooting along with
such intimate friends as W. ]. Corbett, John
and William Redmond and J. j. O'Kelly.
Avondale, the country seat Of the uncrowned
king of Ireland, is a grand old house some hun
dred feet long by fifty feet in width, fronting
boldly from hundred yards in air upon the
ripping Avon on its way to meet a sister
stream half a mile below at the spot celebrated
BY Tom Moore as "The Meeting of the Waters"
The living rooms Of the house command a SUI

Turgenieff and Tolstoi Quarrel.

From Shenshin.
'In the morning, at our usual time, 9 o'clock,
our guests came to the dining room, where
my wife sat by the samovar, and !, in ex-
pectation of coffee, sat at the other end Of
the table. Turgenieff sat on my wife's right
hand and Tolstoi on the left. Knowing the
importance Turgenieff at that time ascribed
to the education Of his daughter, my wife
asked him whether he Was satisfied with his
English governess. Turgenieff began to sing
her praises, and among other things said that
the governess had asked him, with English ex-
actitude. how much his daughter might spend
in charity. Now said Turgenieff, she wants
my daughter to collect the ragged clothes of the
poor and mend them

Charles s. Parnell is not the strong man that
he was In years gone by. He was wont to sit
by the great fireplace and think, when he
should have been on the moor. The wear and
worry Of his weighty life Of turmoil, anxiety
and relaxation have worn upon him and the
lusty limbs tina: were wont to leap from clump
to clump Of heather rested easier in the saddle
OF the shooting pony that Mr.. Corbett had
brought along. But when the wide ranging
dogs stiffened to statues of red bronze and
there was the hush Of expectancy in the air,
then the old spirit came over him and he
sprans lightly to the sod, grasped the old I'M
der grip gun, made by Rgby of Dublin and
given him by his brother John twenty years
ago, and then slowly, anxiously, men and dogs
drew on until the brown birds burst into air
with cluck of beak and whirr of wings, as
though a volcano had exploded at our feet
The guns speak. feathers fly, some Of the pack
sail over the hill on outspread pinions, some
come thudding to the heather to drum out
their life or scramble into vain sought hiding
amid the cracks and Jumps Of turf. Or may
be the white scut of q hare goes bobbing over
the uneven ground, flying fast, but not fast
enough for the leaden hail that follows. have
known most hunting that there is, but give
me good grouse moor in good season and ]
will ask no more.
We fished and shot. Toasted on the spoils of
our rods and guns and wondered ut the people
Of the place, with their patient, hopeful, hope
less, let-things-be, it s-all-for-the-best way Of
living. Then one morning we drove away
through the undulating hills, across lovely
Glennamure and through the choicest scenes
of wicklow to the Seven Churches and Glenda-
Tough.
Here we took boat, rowed under st. Kcvin's
Bed, caught basket Of fine lake trout and then
to horse again, and followed the Avon back to
the old house on the hill.
Another day we drove down the Vale Of Avoca,
through Arklow, to the quarries recently opened
by Mr.. Parnell and then back to Avondale by
Wooden Bridge. My visit was wondrous pleas
ant and will not be soon forgotten.

The walls and ceiling of the dining room are
deliberately and admirably decorated in stucco
work after the very best style of the Renais-
sance, peculiar effect being produced by large
wall mirrors inlaid in wreaths of finely finished
plaster flower work, and there are some very
choice medallions in color, also set flush with
the surface OF the walls.
THE ONLY PICTURE.
The only picture is life-size portrait Of Com
modore Charles Stewart, father of Mrs. Della 8.
Parnell, painted by Sully after his victory over
the British navy on the big lakes. There are
some Chippendale chairs and a sideboard made
to fit the alcove built for il. If any one were
to reproduce this room in America he would not
regret it, and for that matter the whole plan of
the house is very hvable and is good model
for country house anywhere.
LIBRARY AND BREAKFAST ROOM.
The library, which also serves as the breakfast
room. is on the left facing toward the Meet
ing of the Waters. There are many Thousands
of books, mostly old volumes, many of which
are very valuable, having been collected by the
grandfather OF the present owner. who was a
great enthusiast in art aud letters. In one
corner IS a curious octagon desk, matched by
one OF more modern design at the ingle nook,
and comfortable arm chairs stand on either
side of a wide wood fireplace, with tables, din
ner and tea, dotted here and there over the
room.
FAvoRITE MOUNTAIN RETREAT.
During my visit we went to the mountains
after grouse, driving through the famous vii
lage Of Aughrim, then upward and onward until
the grass and the trees were left behind. and
the purple heather bloomed out against brown
turf and gray bleak stone. The air became
purer, a sense of still beauty came over one as
the light and shade chased each other over the
rounded slopes Of radiant color; now the
mountain frOwned and now a flash leaped up as
the sunshine tipped some brook trickling
adown the canyons. Presently we turned q
long spur Of the hills and got first glimpse of
Augh-a-vanagh. which means in English 1.-The
House Of the Dirty Woman" where Charles s.
Parnell Is most at home, for he prefers the
place In the mountains even to Avondale.
PLAY GROUND FOR DOGS.
After the revolution of 1898 the English colo
nized Wicklow with a resident army and bull,
military roads and barracks for the soldiers.
By the strange irony Of fate the chiefest forta-
hce. in which, as the story goes. 1000 men were
lodged, was altered over by Mr.. Parnells father
and the central portion now serves as a shoot
ing lodge, while the ends are gone to rack and
ruin, and the vast expanse of the walled-in drill
yard serves as play ground for the dogs. The
rooms are vast and desOlate. The vistas from
the windows are sublime. In front the valley
trends away tor miles and miles, while in the
rear Lug-na-quilla, the second highest noun
tain in Ireland, rises aloft over thousands OF
acres amid the drifting clouds that enwreath
its regal summit

opens into the drawing room, which is as large

danced % much that she wore through the soles
OF her satin slippers, and perhaps she will say
that there was where she met their grandfather.
Who that has . grandmother has not heard
fondest recollections, the story Of some one
ball that she attended in her youth.
PROFESSIONAL PLKAsuRx MAKERS.
But such pleasure and happiness from . ball
can never come to those who make il busi-
ness to give them and to 60 to them. The pro-
fessional pleasure makers are Of two kinds
Either their mental digestion is 90 weak that it
revots at anything that is not of the lightest or
else 1t is the digestion Of the drunkard, that
must be fed by things that are highly spiced.
The first class are the light butterflies Of FASH
ion that fit about harmlessly. Their life is .
parlor life They are dressed in low neck and
short sleeves and dress suits always. To 60 to
parties and to give them is their only purpose
in life. They do not enjoy them, but they can
conceive OF no other enjoyments. But the
pleasures have ceased to be pleasures to them.
Their appetite has been satiated and they begin
to ask for pleasures that are highly seasoned.
Then they become fast" the everyday world
being too slow for them. A restless dissatis-
joyments in a ball to these people. This isn'ta
sermon, but If it were terrible picture Of the
fast" people could be painted. Stripped Of
the artificial attractions with which they are
clothed they could be shown at the time OF
terrible reaction which inevitably comes to
them utterly miserable and lonely.
THE RELATION OF THE BALL TO CIVILIZATION.
Why does not some one write q treatise on
the ball from the standpoint Of the social sci
enlist? 1t would be interesting to know its re-
lation to the civilization of today. 1t would be
still more interesting to know what effect it has
upon the development Of character. Is there
any difference in this respect between the ball
in the far west, where the men dance in flannel
shirts and boots upon bare floor to the tune
of an old fiddle and an ACCORDION, and the balls
given in Washington and New York, where
there is a fine band of musicians and every ele-
gance that wealth and refinement can bestow?
The subject is too large to be entered upon
here. and SO let us leave it as philosophical
inquiry for the man of science.

The First Paper Maker.

"The nest of the hornet is the first article of
paper manufacture that ever saw the light of
day." said paper maker to a representative of
the Paper World. "The hornet takes the
wood of tree, grinds it assiduously into pulp
and forms sheets of paper, out of which he con-
structs his nest. Although, as you can see, the
paper is gray in its present condition, it is I'M
paper, and Of the finest kind. 1t is
out of honor to the noble hornet-the first
paper manufacturer known--that adorn this
Office with it. No; there are no hornets in it
now"
