there like photographs of an earnest and limo

conscious air OF one who has done the right
thing.
Yes, / said, gulping down my feelings.
" That will do. i never cared for fried eggs ON
Tuesday, anyhow"
Oh, now know something is wrong with
those eggs. and you gentlemen are jollying US
because we have done something unlike the
way it is done in America" There was a pre-
monitiOn OF tears in her thrush-l like voice that
broke me all up.
No. indeed" exclaimed, choking down a
violent disposition TO burst open. You have
done nothing at all wrong; only you don't ex-
actly tumble to the racket. That is not quite
the usual way in which an egg is fried and
turned over beneath the Stars and Stripes but
your way is so new, novel. and effective that it
was a startling revelation to me. An egg is
usually said TO be turned over when it is fried
little on both sides"

1t Looks as though, Mr.. Cleveland will not
get much of it.
At meeting Of the Tammany Society in
the Wigwam in New York, ON Thursday, Oct.
q, Peter McCorry, q well-known Irish speaker
and Tammany Democrat, was recognized by the
Chairman and began to criticize the manner Of
conducting the campaign tho Democratic
side, saying that the issues of the force bill and
the tariff question were being torn to ribbons
on the stump, and the people were getting
tired of them.
"What you want to address yourselves to-"
he Numbered, " is the immense defections of
the Irish-American vote from Cleveland. l tell
yon, nothing like it has been known since the
oldest man among you began to vote. l know
what / am talking about, and / say that a
vast portion of the Irish Americans will vote
this year for Harrison" The statement pro-
duced sensation, but Dir. McCorry went ahead
and referred TO the speeches and writings of Mr..
Blaine and Mr.. Egan, and gave the names of an
array of influential men whose example aud
words had great weight with Irish electors.
He urged that something be done to counter
act the detection. 2. III. McCort followed Mr.
McCorry and spoke in the same vein.

Now, don't mean TO say that there is no want

very low. and none of Us can get much together,

When We got ont of doors again the usual
Irish imitation of Niagara Falls was going on
and Runge said:
IF we stay here until night we shall die of
the blues"
Then we got ON the main line again at Liner
lex Junction, and started once more for Dub
lin; but a gentleman Of the neighborhood in
our compartment said:
g" You gentlemen are never going by without
seeing the Rock of Cashel?"
Certainly mot" / replied. "Where does
Mr. Cashel keep his rocl,?"
By our new friends direction We got off at
Goods Cross Station. Then our train friend
developed into a most hospitabie gentleman,
Mr.. James Calloran by name. He was dealer
in lumber and agricultural implements at the
station. In 10 minutes he hooked up his team
and drove US at lively gait over the six miles
TO the old town aud Rock Of Cashel. The town
is SO old that it has lost its history, though an
Episcopal city and formerly tho seat of tho
Kings of Munster.
Cashel is BOW in an advanced stage of decay,
and would never be heard of hut for the inter-
esting ruins on the rock. The ruins of the old
Cathedral are among the finest in Ireland. Here
is said to have been of the resting-p places of
the Coronation Stone in Westminster Abbey,
about which SO many wonderful stories have
been told.
The Cathedral was burnt in Ii95 by the Earl
of Kildare, because he had quarrel with the
Archbishop, and when he was called to account
by the King, he apologized by saying:
!" Your Highness, / would never have burned
the Cathedral if / had known the Bishop was
not inside"
That brutal answer won for him the appoint
ment of Lord Deputy for Ireland.
+ Besides the Cathedral there on the rock,
Cormacs Chapel. built in 1877 the Church
and Audience Hall of the Bishop-King of
Desmond, Cormac Mccarthy, and the old palace
Of the Kings Of Munster, with its famous round
tower 80 feet high.
The Gray or Hove Abbey, founded by David
MacConell, Arch bishop of Cashel in 1878, is a
picturesque ruin about quarter of a mile from
the rock.

Alter particularly villainous cigar, that

sleep of innocence and virtue until about !
o'clock this morning, when large and agress-
i've paving stone as big as goose egg came
through our bedroom window from the street,
bringing the glass and a part Of the sash with
it.
Mr.. Runge and both felt that it was time for
US TO get up without waiting for anyone to call
Us, aud we did so. Out in the hall we met Mr..
Sheehan and several members of the family ip
various stages of undress uniform. Mr.. Shee-
han blandly remarked:
:" Don't allow yourselves to be disturbed,
gentlemen. This is only little compliment
paid me by some of my Parnellite friends.
Yes, curse them, there's another of them," he
added, as another dornick came through the
cohee-room window.
The next minute there was the sound Of a
wild rush out in the street, accompanied by a
few yells and excavations, with q rafting of
clubs and stones, and then all was quiet again.
Then we had it explained to us that this little
episode had not been unexpected. Mr. Sheehan
had said something particularly unacceptable
to the Parneilites, who. being greatly in the
minority, had no other way of Tesenting it
except by little quiet stone throwing The
moment of false security the guards had gone
to a quiet retreat to take little liquid comfort.
This moment the wary Parnelites improved to
get in their work.
Being assured that the boys are around
now, and there'll be no more of it," we retired
and slept until breakfast was ready.
Nextmorning we drove through the beautiful
grounds of the Earl of kenmare, and were per-
mtted view of the more public rooms of the
fine residence, which would make about four
Newark City Halls.
The Earl of Kenmare is very popular man,
but his son, Lord George Ross, is without
doubt the most popular young man with the
people in ireland to-day.
