When Col Henderson left Dubuque for
Washington to begin his last session al
the National capital he stopped at Chi
cago. There in the presence of friends he
said: If it be the indisputable will OF
the Almighty God that l should pass
away in the harness at Washington
want it to be known as my wish that my
body be brought back to my old home in
Dubuque and buried on that highest point
in beautiful Linwood cemetery, where
from its crest can be seen the fertile fields
of the great west and at whose feet flows
the placid Father of Waters.
The wish of Col. Henderson was in part
realized. He retired from Congress after
a long and illustrious career. He return
ed to Dubuque and there was stricken ILL.,
He fingered for months and finally died
and his grave was located upon the point
he indicated.

Fees for Everything.


Everybody has to pay a sixpence to see
Ross Castle, and the money goes into the
empty pocket of the Earl of Kenmare.
You have to pay to see everything in this
country, however. and sometimes the
petty hotel charges are exasperating.
They are insignificant, but everything
goes in the bill; every time you draw a
breath or ask a question 1t costs two
pence. II the hotel managers would make
a straight rate per day to cover all these
trifes they would make a great deal more
money and save a great deal OF temper.
The only free ruins are those OF the an
cient abbey Of Agahadoe, which occupy a
conspicuous site on the ridge back of the
town. where they were built In the eighth
century by Finian, the leper saint.

during the civil war in 1852. 1t was at
tackled by Gen. Ludlow with an army of
1000 footmen and 200 horse. and defended
by the O'Donaghue Of that time. Finding
1t impregnable by land. Ludlow left por-
ton of his force to hold II in a state Of
siege, while he retired to Castlemaine and
built a fleet of boats, with which he made
an attack by water. There was an an
cient proverb that ROSS Castle will never
fall until ships float in the lake Of Killar-
ney," hence the garrison remembered
that saying when they saw Ludlow's flo-
tilla approaching, and were so democrat
ICED by the superstition that they aban-
doned it and lay down their arms. 1t was
the last Of the O'Donaghues. Their power
and glory have never been regained.

The O'Donaghue.
The O'Donaghue is the hero of most of
the legends. He is identified with almost
every island and almost every glen The
legends all agree that the men and wo-
men who Inhabited the lovely valley did
not perish with him. but the O'Donaghue
lives at the bottom Of the lake in gor-
geous palace, surrounded by congenial
friends. and enjoys feasting and folly as
much as he did before the food. Every
seven years in the summer he comes to
the surface and makes a journey from
one end Of the lakes to the other. riding
a splendid white stallion, In an armor Of
gold and a helmet that Cutters with dla-
monds He gallops through the town and
around the mountain just as he did when
he was the lord Of the land, and will con-
tinue to do so until the silver shoes on
the hoofs Of his stallion are worn out.
Blessings are. showered upon every one
who is fortunate enough to see him. II a
girl can catch a glimpse of this brilliant
knight as he makes his midnight journey
she is sure to be married before the end
| of the year.
O'Dona ghue's horse, his prison. his sta
| BILE his library his cellar. his pulpit. his
| table his broom and various other things
that belonged to him are pointed out
among the rocks upon the ISLANDS. every
| freak of nature has some association
with him.
Scores Of peasants may be found who
are convinced they have actually seen
him and half the population believe In his
seven-year visits. Many curious stories OF
which O'Donaghue is the hero have been
invented in the generations that have
passed by imaginative mothers to enter
| tain their children When l asked a
thoughtful jAunting car driver II he be-
| lieved in the periodical appearance of the
| ancient Lord Of the Lake. he answered:
| WAL / dunno, I dunno; me mither

st. Patrick and Fin MacCool.
st. Patrick never came to Killarney, but
| he climbed up to the top of the tallest
| mountain. stretched out his hands over
the lakes and he said: Il bless all .beyant
| the reeks" (mountains).
Fin MacCooI kept his tubs of gold in
the lake near Muckross Abbey and his
dog Bran watched them. 'One day a
brute Of an Englishman an a crate diver

shook the life out Of him until he died.

The shore of the lake under the windows
Of Ross castle is strswn with curious
of his library which the O'Donaghue
threw out of the window when he was
mad one day and they turned to rocks.
A Broth of Bhoy.
when the O'Donaghue was a slip of
a boy and was sitting In front Of the
CASTLE an old woman came running along
shrieking that the O'SGllivans had come
through the pass from County Cork and
we're stalling the cattle. The C'Donaghue,
thin only thirteen years Old bedad, seizes
an ould sword and kills every mothers
son of the thaving blaggards, an sticks
| their bodies up agin the wall as a warn
ing to all the rufhans of the clans beyant
the mountains.
when the O'Donaghue was a young
| man and went into his first battle ..e slew
six hundred Of his enemies IN a single
day. He fought so long and became so
l'tired that his legs and arms would have
fallen off his body If they hadn't been
| held together by his armor.
The Priest and the Poet Ossian.
lone day when Ossian, the poet, came
| to Killarney he met an old priest trying
| to carry a sack Of corn on his back
Ossian relieved him Of the burden The
priest called. on the Holy Virgin to bless
him, whereupon Ossian said: I help you
because you are an old man and not for
the sake Of virgins or married women or
Widdies' for Ossian was a hathen and
| he didn't know any better an how could
| he know what the holy father meant
| when he shpoke of the Blessed Virgin
! but nevertheless the curse was on him,
| and in a minute he was an ould shrivel-
] ed. crippled crather a dale oulder than
| the priest whose sack Of corn he was
carrying And all this for takin' the
name OF the Blessed Virgin In vain and
not KNOWN any better. But the priest,
| with few words of prayer, relaved the
enchantment and converted Ossian to
Christianity on the shpot."
| Ross Castle.
Ross Castle was the stronghold of the
lO'Donaghues. 1t was built somewhere
about the twelfth century by the cele-
brated Hugh O'Donaghue. who lives in
the lake and rides about the country
every seven years. 1t is a historic fact
| that he lived there once. although the le-
gends told Of him go back for centuries
before It's foundation. There is a massive
tower <or keep. about one hundred feet
| high and one hundred feet square, land
| ivy clasps the assured stones with its en-
| twining arms" The walls of the tower
are almost perfect. There Is long ex-
| tension, however. entirely In ruins. but 1t

SONS, AS BOTH WISHED.
Modest Stones Mark Graves Of Two
Of Iowa's Most Distinguished
Public Men.

DUBUQUE. Iowa, August 13-Upon the
highest point of the beautiful Linwood
cemetery. north of this city. are buried
the bodies of two of Iowa's most distin-
guished citizens and statesmen. Senator
William Boyd Allison and Representative
D. B. Henderson, late Speaker of the ma
tional House Of Representatives. With the
quiet interment of Senator Allison Sat-
urday this particular knoll became one of
the historic points of Iowa. The hill
stands clear and distinct over the sur
rounding country. 1t rears its head fully
300 feet above the placid Mississippi, and
from it's crest can be seen the prairie
lands Of four states.
This now famous hillside was selected
by both national men as their last resting
place. Here Senator Allison had buried
his aged father after the latter's death
a great many years ago. Upon the same
hillside the wives of the Iowa statesman
had been laid to rest. Between their
graves and in close proximity to that of
his father, Senator Allison's grave was
placed.
Huge Stone Marks Grave.
Over the Allison graves a huge stone
monument is reared and upon its face is
carved the family name in large letters.
At the head of each grave small head
stones bear the names of the family men,
bers.
The Henderson lot has different ap-
pearance. There Is no stone. no compan-
ion graves. The small headstone bears
the inscription: '.Col D. B. Henderson.
10Th Iowa Volunteers Saturday the
green mound was decorated by silken
flag. No further markings disclose the
fact that IT is one Of the honored graves
OF Iowa. Scarce 100 feet from the Allison
tomb rests the body of Col. Henderson.
When 1t was lowered there no heart
throbbed more with sorrow than did that
of Senator Allison. When the body of
Senator Allison was lowered in the grave
companions of Henderson and of Allison
bowed their heads in grief.

Beauties at Twilight.

The vivid Irish imagination has furnished
a volume of legends and supersitions about
the lakes. Some of them have been hand
cd down from the earliest generations.
Their attractions drew to them the low

were originally known as 1.-The Lakes Of
Learning" because at zone time there
were monasteries mere attended by multi
tudes of students from all over the world.
They have been favorite theme of all
the IRISH poets. and many romances have
been laid here. The legends which &C
count for the origin of the lakes are not
consistent however. Some one neglected

In the opinion Of Colonel James
