slammed 1t again with Q loud slam,
which at length SO annoyed the Eng
lishman, that he irritably asked why
he was doing that. Because, sir"
said the sly jarvey, every. time the
horses hear that door slam they think
that another man has got out, and 1t
gives the creatures encouragement on
the hill" The Englishman, at hearing
this, slapped his knee, and let out OF
him great guffaw. To Seumas Mac
Manus, who had taken the hint and
jumped out, the Englishman, settling
back for more comfortable seat, said
triumphantly: "And this is some OF
your boosted Irish brightness-Eh?
Ha, ha, ha! Did you ever know any
thing more stupid?' well, l must
confess" replied seumas MacManus,
that Ireland carries its share Of stu
pidity-in the tourist season" At this
remark again the Fnglishman slapped
is knee and roared right heartily J.
And MacManus tells how, when ne
was in America eight months later. he
read in an American paper q para
graph copied from London journal,
in which the writer told how when he
was touring in Ireland the previous
summer, his. jarvey, a fair specimen
Of the Irishman who is cried up for his
brightness and his wit, thought that
he encouraged his horses on the bill!
by frequent slamming Of the door OF
his waggonette to give them the idea
that passengers were alighting. and"
went on the paragraph. 1.-THE most re-
markable part Of 1t is that a young
freshman who travelled with me and
who seemed to have had the adyant-
ages Of a middling fair education, and
Of having visited in America once or
twice, tried to explain to me that for
some abstruse psychological reason,
it was only in the summer time that
the Irish were stupid! And these peo-
ple;" the article concluded, ARE ask
ing us to let them govern themselves"
If they were allowed to govern
themselves" MscManus says, they
could in the stupid season have the
guidance Of brilliant English tourists"

was one day riding on an inside tourist

dispute on Irish wit with a rather

side him. So absorbed were they IN
their argument that when they reached
a rather steep hill on the road, ana
the jarvey, or car driver, who, by the

jumped up to tighten the horses load
