FORTIFIED GRAVEYARD
A Battery Of Cannon Guards = Gen.
etery IN the Town OF T0uEhaI,
Ireland.

The little town Of Youghal, situated
on the estuary Of the Blackwater river,
IN the south Of Ireland, is not now Of
much Importance nOrparticulaTly wei
known out Of Munster, but long ago
1t played its part In the rebelhOns Of
the Geraldines, and also in the days
Of CromwelTs Irish expedition. It is
noteworthy on account Of the house
known as Myrtle Grove, in which Sir
Walter Raleigh resided, and which is
said to have been the scene Of the
story that his new serving man was
so frightened at seeing him smoking
tobacco custom he had learned in
America-that he threw a bucket Of
water over him, thinking his master
was on fire. Here, too, 1t IS said, the
explorer first planted the potato.
Hard by Myrtle Grove Is the old par
ISL church which contains several OBJ
jects Of antiquarian interest, but the
extraordinary addition Of a battery
Of guns renders its churchyard unique.
The quiet, tree-shaded burying place
Is bordered on two sides by the re-
mains OF the old Notifications Of the
town, and on these at one part q tower
has been erected, and an UNCOVERED
wall which adjoins 1t serves as a rest
ing place for five old culverins, which
point toward the church Their pres
ence is explained by the inscription on
a slab set into the wall behind them,
which runs as follows:
This Tower was erected,
And these guns were placed here
By the Rev. ". p. Drew.
They defended the Town
In ancient tim-just hear
What the old fellows say.
when Frenchmen landed at montarays
one OF Us made them scapper away"
(See Annals-)
The Annals" however, do not seem
altogether to bear this story out, but
1t would appear that the guns were
originally the property Of Lord Castle
haven, who besieged Youghal in 1e45
and placed them in battery against the
town on Montaray Point, which IS at
the mouth Of the harbor, on the Oppo-
site side Of the river to that on which

John Z. McLean's
Great NeWSDaDeP.

Without a single exception, there
IS beyond doubt no greater or more
popular newspaper in the United
States than the Cincinnati Enquirer ;
OF a more successful publisher than
Its proprietor, Nh john R Mclean.
The old-ime prices for the paily
Enquirer have been maintained and
Its circulation largely increased each
year; hard times ard cheaper jour
mails failing 70 arrest lis onward march
and high appreciation Of The public
for It's true worth and merit.
The Weekly Enquirer at beginning
Of the campaign year was oEerhl AT
50 cents a year, and It's ciTcl.l-e=on
increased by the addition Of ser
200, 900 new subscribers; the most
substantial and coveted testimonial
publisher could desire.
When asked for the secret Of such
success, Mr.. Mclean frankly answers:
The Enquirer has no opinions to fofce
upon It's patrons, ii SIMPLY prmts-the
facts and tells the truth ,i.at tie reader
may form his own opinions. By
maintaining the price Of the PIPER,
more news and greater variety can be
furnished, and every class Of business
interests catered to, which a cheaper
journal cannot afford.
The very liberal support givenzihe
Enquirer by the public at large, makes
1t incumbent upon the managen.snt
10 serve It faithfully with zeal and eD-
terprise IN minor matters as wei IS
those Of greater magnitude.

SMOKING IN EUROPE.
Some Places Where American DevO-
tees OF the Weed Have n
Hard Time.

The smoking American has hard
time Of 1t on the continent. In several
of the countries notably, in France,
Spain and ItaIy-the trade is in the
hands Of the government, or so enOr-
mOusly taxed that it is virtually a gov
eminent monopoly. Whatever may be
the benefit Of the national exchequer,
there is certainly none Of the con-
sumner, and If a nationalist or state so
cialist wants arguments to support his
theories let him shun the subject OF
European tobacco.
Pipe-smokers viii find no plug tobac-
co abroad They can get American
brands Of long cut or fine cut only at
exOrbitant prices. Where the mOnop-
oily prevails, the common smoking to-
baccO offered for sale viii cure the
habit, If anything viii. italian cigars
are about the meanest cigars man ever
perpetrated on suffering community.
French cigars are not much better
Havanas can be bought in the Latin
countries at high rates
The Germanic races come nearer
understanding what is good in the to-
baccO line. Cigars are cheap in
Switzerland, cheaper in Germany, and
dog cheap in HoIland-in fact, Holland
IS the paradise Of smokers. Tobacco
is absolutely free Of duty there If I
understand right, and partly by rea-
son Of the fact that Sumatra IS a
Dutch possession, Holland leads the
world IN some branches Of the tobacco
trade So the discreet smoker VIII
bring home from Holland as many
cigars as he can In Rotterdam or
Amsterdam he may buy for two cents
apiece cigars that IN many American
cigar stores would retail at ten cents
straight; and for five cents he can get
luxury that In America a millionaire
would deem extravaganza
The cigarette habit prevails IN
France, Italy and SPAIN so that de-
cent cigarettes can be bought; but
Turkish or Egyptian cigarettes are not
given away. In Germany and Austria
piPe-smoling is more common; in
Great Britain It would seem as If most

NUT TREES.

Plant the Nuts, and tho Trees VIII Grow
After Awhile.
The age at which any nut trees come
into bearing depends OH the care given
to the trees. Some authorities state that
10 or 20 years are necessary to bring
them into full bearing from the time
the nut is planted. This is q mistake,
as trees that have been we'll cared for
should bear bushel of nuts in ten years,
and the quantity will increase rapidly
each year after that time.
Some persons may enjoy raising these
trees from seed. To be sure it is rather
. slow process. but it is interesting
work. When planting the nuts, IL they
have thin shells be perfectly sure that
they have not dried out at all. The best
plan is to get them as soon as they ripen
and plant them at once. When this is
not possible. keep them in moist sand or
in sawdust until they can be started.
Butternuts, walnuts, hickory nuts and
filberts. being hard shelled. will keep in
growing condition much longer. but
should be planted in the fall. as they
terminate better when allowed to freeze.
a. that cracks the she'll.
The fall planting is natures own
plan. and the nearer we follow her ways
the better results we may expect An
other thing, do not plant the nuts deep.
Nature drops them on the surface and
gives them thick covering Of leaves in
which the dirt catches as it blows about,
then the snow covers all and helps the
leaves to decay and form . covering OF
leaf mold for the tree to grow in.
It Is not practicable for any Of rs 10
try to raise all these kinds Of nuts, but
select the ones most likely to succeed in
our climate, and by proper care and 1t.
tention make q success Of IL. We may
not reap the benefit Of our labors. but
our children will and theirs after them

A GREAT ADVOCATE.
Coed Stories .s George Wood. . Lawyer
Of Many Years Ago.

Good stories .s George Wood, . Lawyer
Of Many Years Ago.
There are still some members of the
New York bar who remember George
Wood. the contemporary Of Daniel
Lord. Ogden Hoffman. William Kent.
James I. Brady and other distinR uish-
ed lawyers Of many years ago. The ven-
cradle Benjamin ID. Silliman has de-
scribed George Wood as being conspic-
nous for his great learning, his wonder
full power in stating his cases and his
mathematical power in argument. He
was great advocate. Frederic X. Cou-
dert some time ago told the following
story Of Mr.. Wood: II can remember.
looking back to early boyhood, that VEN
cradle figure and recall speaking to one
Of his contemporaries about him. The
person to whom / spoke said. Yes, .
client Of mine got an opinion from
George Wood once Well, l said,
how was it done. how much did he
charged? for even in those early days
the professional instinct asserted itself.
Il will tell you, my friend replied.
My client went to him and said. "Mr.
Wood, would like to have your opin-
ion on these papers. "Give me the pa
pers and come back tomorrow, said the
great lawyer. The papers were produced
and the client departed. The next day
he presented himself before Mr.. Wood.
and the latter said, Fifty dollars. -
and nothing more. The client was in
telligent and assumed that he should
pay him that sum, which he did. After
waiting awhile he asked, "What about
my papers, Mr.. Wood?" "They are not
worth d." replied Mr.. Wood, and
he made no further comment on the
case. >"
David Dudley Field used to relate
the following: George Wood was the
personification Of logic aud cold as
marble. was sitting beside him in
court one day when he arose to argue
case. and AS he arose his coattails
caught the back Of the chair and hung
over it. Wood stood up and spoke,
should think, for fully two hours, but
never once did those coattails move.
ION one occasion young lawyer
who had engaged George Wood to try a
case was asked, How did the judge
charge the jury?' oh, George Wood
charged the jury. was the reply. -
