-■ an IRISH FAIR.
Characteristic and Curious
Scenes at Tuam.
Vendors of Cheap Clothes and People
Engaged in Selling Pigs.
Fun at the fair of Tuam is not quite
up to all that is claimed of Donnybrook
in its palmy days, says a correspondent
e s the New York Times, but for an
American who wishes to pursue one
great branch of westward emigration to
j ts sourcesit is curious enough. Around
the ancient cross of Tuam, with its weird
g.rures in high relief of Christ and cer
tain Apostles and its Celtic decoration
in low relief on the shaft, composed of
interlacing ribbons, around this ancient
cross are the vendors of cheap clothing
and beyond them the country people
w ho have pigs for sale. The clothes
peddlers are at the hardest sort of work
making an auction of their stock, if auc
tion it can bo called. For instead of
beginning at a moderate price and aug
menting they begin at a high price and
come down. The descent from 10s. to
7s, is rapid, but when they get to 6s.
and ss. their agony is touching. The
most dismal women, facing each other,
wail a ballad with much quavering and
drawl, while knots of fresh-faced elderly
dames, in brilliant petticoats, caps, and
big cloaks or shawls of plaid stuff stand
by their wares, generally from two to
five well washed, combed, and clipped
grunters. Big pigs and little hogs, pink
“cracklings” and tawny “shoots,” sleepy
monsters whose owners have a smirk of
self-satisfaction and hold themselves
proudly aloof, and scrawny porkers of
whom the master is wistful and ready to
bargain with the- most unpromising—
these are scattered about the square and
three streets debouching on it. Since 6
o'clock the animal which in its American
variety Bismarck abhors has lifted up a
clarion voice in expostulation with fate.
The country people are generally clad in
the costume which has passed away in
most parts of Ireland, for here is the
heart of Connaught, terminus of a branch
railway, and Irish is spoken on all sides.
Lean and wrinkled men wear the caubecn
on their heads, but do not stick their
pipes in the hat band as of yore, proba
bly because the caubeen is an old “stove
pipe” hat, the band of which is too tight.
Their swallow-tail coats are made of na
tive frieze, (pronounced here fryze,) their
breeches of corduroy, stockings of heavy
knit stuff, and shoes of unblacked leath
er. Some wear boots, other leggins.
Such an old man is a sight to behold
when trying to humor a flock of sheep
through the crowd. Ilis lean arms flap,
his knees bend, his face works in the
most persuasive grimmaces, and from
his lips come floods of imprecations and
cajoleries.
The cattle are sold in a big field on the
outskirts of the town. The great space
is brown, flecked with black, as one
looks across the cows and steers minded
by men, boys, and women. There is no
tethering and no placing inside rails.
The district is too primitive for that.
The steers jam together in close herds
with their heads inward, greatly deject
ed, and here and there a cow must bo
rounded in by many thwacks of a cudgel.
The fame of the Irish forearm when
wielding a shillalah must have arisen
from a constant practice on the backs of
cattle in a nearly pure agricultural land.
Now and then a whole herd is bought,
and the purchasers and their friends ex
tricate it and get it on the road. Then
it is worth seeing how the brown and
white spotted mass of cattle flows dowm
hill, charging the up-coming crowd of
people. Before runs one band of ex
cited peasants trying to keep the herd
back. Behind is another, flourishing
their sticks with a wild light in their
eyes, as if coming from some “cattle
spoil” with the booty they have lifted.
Give them spears, bonnets, and plaids—
and a scene from the old days before the
discovery of gunpowder passes before
you.
Advertis : ng by Balloons.
The practice of using balloons for ad
vertising is likely to become a nuisance
and a danger. Lord Ellenborough, in
Pickering vs. Rudd, 4 Camp. 219, threw
out a doubt whether a balloon, in pass
ing over a man’s land, committed a tres
pass ; but in Kenyon vs. Hart, 6 B. & S.
249 ; 34 Law J. Rep. M. C. 87, Lord
Blackburn said that he understood “the
good sense but not the legal reason of
the doubt,” and there need be no hesita
tion in saying that a balloon in the air
may Commit a trespass. Probably, there
fore, the neighbor of the owner of a cap
tive balloon which infringes his bounda
ry is entitled to an injunction, and if he
takes no step, in process of time his
neighbor will obtain an casement for his
balloon. Such an injunction was granted
some years ago in the ease of a captive
balloon which was drawn up and down
for the entertainment of passengers in it.
A-part from the question of trespass, if
any substantial annoyance is caused, a
balloon may be enjoined as a legal nui
sance.—London Public Opinion.

Submarine Boats.
The problem of submarine navigation
concerning which M. Verne romanced
fourteen years ago, may be now regarded
as completely solved, and the clever
structure imagined by the novelist is far
surpassed in ingenuity by the actual ves
sels designed and built by M. Nordou
felt, a Danish inventor, and Mr. J. F.
Waddington, of Birkenhead, Eng. The
Nordenfelt vessel is run by steam, the
Waddington boat by electricity. The
former is cigar-shaped, steel-plated, 64
feet in length, 12 feet beam, and 11 feet
deep. Two propellers working in a ver
tical direction supply the sinking force,
and a system of balanced’ rudders keeps
the boat in a horizontal position. The
steam is supplied by a marine boiler for
travelling on the surface, and is stored
up for moving under water. The crew
live in the air space in the hull, which is
sufficient to sustain four men six hours.
This boat has remained underwater over
an hour at a time without inconvenience
to the men, and has been success
fully operated at a depth of sixteen feet.
She has been run 150 miles on the sur
face, without recoaling, at a maximum
speed of eight knots, and under water 16
miles at a maximum speed of three
knots. Although this is comparatively
a low rate of speed, the vessel is re
garded as a complete success. Mr.
Waddington’s boat is also cigar shaped,
but somewhat smaller than the other,
being 37 feet long and 6 feet in diameter
at the center, tapering off to the pointed
ends. A tower is mounted on the boat,
and her depth of immersion below the
water surface is regulated by external
inclined planes, placed one on either
side and controlled from within. She
is fitted with a rudder placed aft, and a
self-acting arrangement serves to keep
the vessel in its horizontal position. She
is manned by a crew of two men, and a
supply of compressed air is provided for
occasions when the boat remains sub
merged for any length of time. The
motive power is electricity, which is
stored on board in 50 cells. These drive
a screw propeller, and the charge they
carry is sufficient to propel the boat for
10 hours at a speed of nearly nine knots
an hour, either below the water or on its
surface. The cells also supply lights
through glow lamps, and drive a pump
for emptying the water ballast tanks,
which are filled for submerging the
boats. This vessel has been given several
trials near Liverpool, England, with
results that arc declared highly satis
factory : — lnter- Ocean.
An Earthly Paradise.
The loveliest summer resort on earth,
writes Dr. Oswald, is probably the pla
teau of Newera Ellia, the King’s Sum
mit,” as the natives call it, in the high
lands of southern Ceylon. Like the seat
of the Olympian gods, it is above all
earthly troubles. On “Ceylon’s isle” it
would be a mistake to suppooe with the
old hymn that “man alone is vile.” In
the lowlands there are not only scorpions,
lamia ticks, venomous snakes, and thirty
or forty varieties of mosquitoes, but,
landleeches, hastening through the grass
with a cloth measure movement—an al
ternate contraction and extension of their
anatomy. They introduce themselves
in the lower garments of persons trespass
ing on their native jungles, and extract
toll at the rate of an ounce of blood
apiece. But neither leech nor lamia ever
visits the heights of the King’s Summit.
An elevation of nearly six thousand feet
so fully insures the plateau against the
peril of climatic diseases that the recove
ry of lowland refugees generally dates
from the second day of their arrival.
The climate is that of a perpetual May—
light showers now and then, but gener
ally cool mornings and sunny afternoons,
even in August, when the monsoon
clouds brood over the coast plain and
vent their electric wrath in thunder
claps resembling the crash of a volcanic
explosion.
A Musical Hen.
J. G. McDonald, of Portage, Wis.,
owns a musical hen. The hen delights
to steal away to the house of a music
teacher adjoining Mr. McDonald’s resi
dence, and at odd times while the music
is going on has succeeded in laying an
egg under the sofa or some other equally
unusual place.
The other day the music teacher heard
notes sounding from the piano, and go
ing into the music room prcceived this
curious inhabitant of the henhouse
walking up and down the ivory key
board, tumbling out thirds, fifths
and eighths to her hen-hip’s great de
light.
As the tinkling melody leaped forth
the hen curved and arched her neck
from side to side in apparent delight,
and clucked in a musical way.

Potatoes.
There is a frequently quoted but most
fallacious rumor floating around that
bread is the staff of life. Believe me, it
is all veritable nonsense; simply a an
other concoction of the wheat speculator.
To be sure, if you use the term in its
broadest meaning, to include crackers,
sweet-cakes, and slap-jacks, as well as
the commodity that is sliced off the
loaf, there is probably more bread used
than any other item in the world’s bill of
fare; but for good sustaining assistance
there is no better prop on which limping
humanity can lean than the invigorating
potato.
It is most palatable, capable of infinite
variety in its preparation, and exhilarates
but never inebrates, possessing none of
the qualities of a “sour mash” even when
served in the form in which it usually
accompanies roast beef.
The nature of the potato is most unob
trustive, there is nothing in the wide
world so inmenscly serviceable that has
received so little commendation; however,
its modesty bespeaks its merit,
We must acknowledge the potato is not
a pretty thing to look upon.
Its form is not comely, its color not
aesthetic, and its skin is rough and lumpy;
wash it clean of the dirt of its native
home and it does not gain much.
Some things, like certain varieties of
wild flowers, are not pretty as a single
pecimen, yet when you get a number of
them together they are quite, handsome,
but the potato has not even this advan
tage, for a heap of a thousand potatoes
is no more beautiful than a lone solitary
tuber.
But take them when the are prepared
for our use, when we find them on the
table cracking open, white as snow, full
to steaming nourishment, they arc love
ly to the eye and savory to the palate.
Only give the potato a little seasoning,
a little luxurious cream, and a good stirr
| ing up, and the richness, the pleasure it
can confer is unriveld.
The potato is the symbol of plain, sub
stantial, useful, but homely, people.
Their unobtrusiveness may teach you
more fortunate ones how your homely
brothers and sisters feel.
You may learn from the potato that
there arc thousands of men and women,
unattractive in appearance, uncouth in
speech, and awkward in manner, whose
hearts are rich in goodness and whose
lives are a perpetual unfolding benefac
tion to those around them.
They only need a little stirring up,
a little developing, a little investigation,
and their repaying qualities are found to
be unequaled.

AN ANCIENT VESSEL.
Discovery of an Old Wreck Opposite the
City.
The dredge Tomochichi hns been nt
work for some time dredging at the
wharf of the Propeller Towboat company
across the river and opposite Drayton
street, preparatory to driving piles and
repairing the wharf. The dredge yester
day struck an ancient wreck, supposed to
be that of an old war ship. There is
every evidence that the vessel was
strongly built.
The. timbers are of oak. Both the
planking and timbers and the greater jmrt
of the frame have been brought up by
the dredge. The wood is in a tine state
of preservation, being ns sound as when
first put into the vessel. The dredge
also brought numbers of old bayonets
anil gun locks, rusted and almost destroy
ed by age. The ring stopper from the
anchor, and the stump of the vessel’s
foremast can be seen at dead low water,
and also the stump of the main and
mizzen masts.
The wreck is buried deep in the mud,
but how it came there is a mystery.
From the appearance of the stuff brought
up from the wreck it is evident that the
vessel belonged to the last century.
It is said that, during the revolutionary
war a 74 gun British ship chased a Span
ish war sloop into this harbor, and that
the crew scuttled the sloop to prevent its
capture. But at what part of the river
she was sunk was never definately set
tled. At the time she was supposed to
have considerable money on board, as
usual with Spanish war vessels at that
time. About fifty years ago a company
was formed in Philadelphia and New
York, and parties came out here for the
purpose of finding the wreck and recov
ering the money supposed to have been
sunk with her, but whether they ever
succeeded iu finding the wreck or money
is not known. The wreck is certainly
that of an old war vessel. Everything
about her shows it. The preservation of
the wood is wonderful.— Savannah Jv'etcs
Mrs. Ferdinand Ward.
In a recent interview with reporters
who visited him in his Sing-Sing prison,
Ferdinand Ward, ex-wizard of Wall
street, told them it was not true that he
had stored away several millions of dol
lars out of his ill-gotten gains. “My
wife is living on less than $1,500 a year,”
he said. I was in Stamford, Conn., the
other day on business, and chanced to
make some inquiries about the life
of Mrs. Ward, who is living there. From
what I saw and heard I was convinced
that if Mrs. Ward really docs live on less
than $1,500 per annum, she is as pecu
liarly talented in financial management as
her enterprising husband. Her house is
a huge, three-story dwelling. A sweep
ing carriage drive leads past the portico
on the side, and in the rear is a well ap
pointed stable sheltering three horses.
The big shade trees on the grounds,
from one of which depended a hammock
filled with satin covered cushions; a
group of cozy easy chairs on the portico;
vases and hanging baskets filled with
flowers and trailing plants—all this gave
an appearar.ee of wealth which seemed
altogether incompatible with the small
income which Mrs. Ward says she enjoys.
While I stood eying the house with the
curiosity and freedom of a stranger, Mrs.
Ward came out the front door and com
menced co water and arrange the plants
in the swinging baskets on the portico.
She wore a dainty morning wrapper of
foulard silk, which, despite its flowing
proportions, could not conceal the beau
tiful contour of her graceful figure.
There was a cold indifferent look on
her face and a certain mechanism about
her movements which showed that her
mind was not on her work. Could she
have been thinking of her dashing young
husband, pounding stove-plates within
the gray stone walls up among the Hud
son hills? It seemed more than possible
as once she paused, and, seating herself
slowly in one of the chairs, turned her
face wearily skyward. She sat like a
statue for nearly three minutes, when she
caught a glimpse of the motionless spec
tator near the street, then she got up and
disappeared.
Mrs. Ward’s home is small, but it is
handsomely furnished, and she keeps
three servants. If she lives on less than
$3,000 or $4,000 per annum she certainly
has acquired the faculty of making a
dollar go twice as far as the average
mortal.— Baltimore American.
