-■ 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. There are now 100,000,006 German carp in the United States, the descen dents of thirty-five fish brought to the United States less than a dozen years «go. 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. Touching up a Painting. Chicago man (to artist) —What’s the name of the picture? Artist—lt is called “Au October Sun set.” It reflects the glowing beauty of an Italian sky as the orb of the day sinks to rest behind ” Chicago man —H-m. I’ll tell you what I’ll do. You paint in a couple of half-burned pork-packing establish ments an’ a hook an’ ladder truck, an’ label it “The Great Chicago Fire,” and I’ll take it at your own price.— Bot'on Courier. Short Aphorisms. Beware of the city's solitary places. Before all others be good to thyself. I A kind word is often much better than a costly gift. It is better not to speak than to speak unwisely. Pity him who cherishes no love for his fellow-man. Flowers and labor are nature’s proph ecy of increase. Dress, speech, and manner reveal the man’s character. Learn to read the thoughts of the man in his countenance. To slip on the sidewalk is better than to slip with the tongue. The maxim is an old and a true one, “All thieves die poor.” What a miserable liar is man when he cannot believe himself. The young cub is as tender as a chicken. The old mosquito clamors for blood. In prosperity we know not our friends. Adversity gives our enemies a chance. “A small leak sinks a great ship.” So small vices keep a laboring man poor. Hast thou a goodly heritage, thy re sponsibility as a man to thy fellow-man is increased. The bee is honored more for its labor than for its song, and yet its song is one of gladness. He who increaseth profitable labor is a benefactor to his fellows and deserveth highest honor. He who dccreaseth willingly the labor supply is an enemy of his race and de serving of infamy. In the days of drouth how glorious seemeth the rain. In the days of rain we long for the pleasant weather. 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. Facts Noted.

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. Mr. G.
