Tue Dlitlnfulalied Men uno Will A?rita ? the Pr?sidant. _ j The following ?ketches of the mem- ' hers of Mr. Cleveland's Cabinet will be of interest : TI?B SECBBTARY OF STATE. The Hon. Thomas Francis Bayard, of ! Delaware, ia one of the best and moat ? favorably known Democratic Statesmen , in tho United 8tatea. He has been io , continuous servico in the Senate : longer than any of the other Democratic senators, and when he wai called to the Cabinet by President Cleveland was j serving his third lerm, and had been a Senator for sixteen years. He succeeded bis father. He is the third in direct line in his family in the Senate. He ?ill he 57 yeara of age the 29tfa ot October. He does not look a day 6ver 60. He ia ve.y tall, with a good, well-filled-out figure, although he is hy no means stout. He has the fre*h color of a man who lives plainly and simply, ami the alert look of a youug man of 25. His face is inclined to be long, while his features aro angular. His forehead is broad and high and pro ?fels well over a pair of keen blue eyes. His nose is a large Roman. His face ia smooth-shaven, leaving bare bin pointed chin and squarely-lined jaws. He has very even white teeth, which might well be the envy of a man 30 years younger than he. He always dresses with great neatness, and is as careful in the solee lion of his gloves and boots aa the most fashionable young man. He ia a man of very pure private record. While ho is not au interesting public speaker, on uc count of the weakueas of bia vince, yet he is always listened to with the greatest respect. His chief prominence in pub lie life bas been through tho study end demonstration of financial topics. Al-, though be is a member of the Se?ale judiciary committee, he has made more reputation in the part he has taken a< a member, and, when the Dem?crata were in control, aa the chairman of the finance committee.' He ia an uncompromising man, who would yield no principle where lhere was any sacri6ce required of bia ideas of personal honor. He is (me jf the highest minded men in public life. He has a moderate fortuueof $150, 300 to $200.000. This is the result of the natural increase nf the inheritance left him by his father. He has two laughlen and three sons, who are grown. Mr. Bayard was boin at Wilmington, Delaware. Ile received his education at :he Fliitliing school. He had no colle giate education. He waa ndmiltcd to .he Bar in 1851. The only office that he iver held before he was elected to the tanate in 1869 was the office of Dint rici Attorney of Delaware, which office he leid in ?853 and 1854. He waa ranked ia one of the bent lawyers of Delaware, ble bas great dignity and conservatism, ind will make a very satisfactory Secre tary ol State. TBE 8ECBETABY OF THE TREASDBY. The Hon. Daniel Manning, who has .leen chosen by President Cleveland as secretary of the Treaaury, was born in Albany, N. Y., August 1G. 1831. Hia I'ure otago waa of I ri oli, English and Dutch extraction. He was a poor boy, ind his early opportunities for schooling were very limited. At ll yearn of age tie went to work as an office boy at the establishment of tbe Aloany Atlas, srhich was afterwards merged into the Albany Argus, with which paper he han .ver since, in one capacity or another, been connected. lu 1873 he assumed <ole charge of the Argus, nail waa elect t-d President of the company, which position he yet hold-, though he has lone lillie or no writing for some time, rle wau a member of the Democratic State Convention of 1874 that nomina ted Samuel J. Tilden for Governor, and was a del?gate to the St. Louis Conven tion of 1876 that nominated Mr. Tilden rur President. He bas been a member nf the Democratic State Committee since 1870. He was ita Secretary in 1879 and 1880, and was elect? d chairman in 1881, which place he now fills. He was waim ly interested in the nomination of Mr. Cleveland for President at Chicago last July, and it ia generally conceded that nejshowed great skill in the Convention as the bead of the New York delegation. Mr. Manning baa been active und suc cessful outside of journalism and politics. He baa !ong been a Director of the Alba ny and Susquehanna Railway Company, mid waa, until A few daya ago, President nf the National Commercial Bank ol Albany, of which he waa first Direct! r and then Vice President. He is also Park Commissioner of Albany and ia a Director of the Albuny Electric Light Company. Mr. Manning will bring at once high political ability to the staii-.u. While not wanting in financial ability of tbe bind usually expected in the station, bia babita and pursuits in life have not been specially in that line. * But bin training bas been of the kind to enable 4iim to know where and bow to find what he wants, if he cannot readily supply it. An experienced editor, a successful bank er and n man of the world on a large acale should be a good Cabinet officer. TUE SECRET AB Y OF WAR. The Hon. William Cr'owojnshield Endicott, Mr. Cleveland's Secretary of war, waa born in Salem in 1827, and io the son of William Putmau Endicott and Mary, daughter of Hun. Jacob Crowninahield, who was a Representa tive to Congress. He attended the Sa lem schuols, and was graduated from Harvard College in the clase of 1847. He married his cousin, u daughter of George Peabody, and has two children, a sou sud a daughter. He studied at the Harvard Law School, and read law In the office of the late Nathaniel J. Lord. He waa admitted to th? Bar about 1850 and a few yean later formed a partner ship with the late J. W. Perry and con tinued with bim until bis appointment by Governor Washburn to a seat on the Supreme Bench in 1873. This position he held until ?882, erben fae resigned OD account of bis health. In 1882 he made an extended tour of tbe Continent. He waa a member of the Salem common council in 1852,1853 and 1857, when ht waa elected president of that board. Hi was city solicitor from 1858 to 1863. * H< is a member of tbe Historical Societj and of the board of overseers of Har vard College. He is a direct deacendani from Governor Jobi? Endicott. Poll ti cally he is of Whig antecedents, bl .affiliation with the Democratic part] dating from the Bell Everett campaigi of 1860. but he has never been an activi politician. In 1884 he was the Demo eratic candidate ft?r Governor of Massa cbusetta, but did not himself appear ii tbe canvass, and received a comparatif el; amati vote. Aa a lawyer end a Judg Mr. Endicott bolds high rank, and pet tonally be is a gentleman of tbe highes character. THE 8EO?IETABY OF TUB NAVY. Mr. William O. Whitney, of'..Nm York, who baa been placed at the head c tbe nae? department, by Presider Cleveland, ts . UH.straight and eaceec1 Indy handsome mao. ile> forty fi? years old bot looks ten year* voting* Heisa**0James ft. Whltnej ?Y MtotSjBSfeUsj who was a wmmieaOT. .. .t ' y. ? '. ?'. ??.V.Ttfci figure in the Democratic Convention which met et Charleston in 1800. and ia one of the ablest anti most influential young lawyers and politician? in New York Sute. Mr. ''bitney waa born at Conway. Mass., in 1840, graduated at Yale College in 1863, at Harvard Law School in 18G4, and then went to New York, where he waa at once admitted to the liar. He married a sister of Oliver W. Payne, the Ohio millionaire, and ia auite a favorite in society. In politic ; be ia wonderfully clever at ortraniziug and promoting measures for definite objects. This quality waa shown in the Chicago Convention which nominated Cleveland, and he was doubtless aa influential aa Mr. Manning in bringing tho Cleveland renture to a successful issue. Hia great* sst political performance, however, waa the organization of the County Democ racy in Yew York City. The work was Iiis entirely in the inception and very largely ao in the achievement. THK 8ECBETARY OP TUE INTERIOR. The Hon. L. Q C. Lamar, nf Missis sippi, who has been selected by Presi dent Cleveland as the Secretary of the interior, is oue of the most abl slates nen in America. He was boru in Put nam County, Giorgia. September 15, 1825, and graduated at Emory College in 1845. He studied law at Macon, Ga., indor the Hon. A. D. Chappell, and in L847 was admitted to the liar. A few ?reara later he moved to Mississippi, and vas elected Adjunct Professor ot matho naucs iu the University nf the State, lu 1850 he returned to Covington, Ga., ind in 1853 was elected to tho Legisla ure. In 1854 he moved to bis plants ion in Lafayette County, Mia?., and waa decled to the Fortv fifth and Forty sixth .ongresses of the United States, resign ng tn 1860 to take a seat in the Secession Jonvention of his State. He entered he Confederate army in 1861 as Beuten tnt colonel of the l'Jth Mississippi Regi ne ut, and waa*soon promoted to the col onelcy. (In 1863 President Davia entrust ed him with nu important diplomatic uiasion to Russia, and some time after als return be was elected professor of joliticsl economy and SOC?HI science in he University nf Mississippi, and after wards transferred to the professorship nf aw. He was subsequently elected to the Forty third and Forty-fourth Congresses, iud on March 5, 18C8, he took his seat in :he United States Senate, succeeding J. \J. Alcorn, an Independent. At the lani Heeling of the Mississippi L?gislature Vir. Lamar was re-elected lo tho United states Senute without opposition. Mr. Limar is one of the most i nfl den ial public, men in the South. He is re? ated to the family nf Howell Cobb and Uber ((pially noted Southern families. Lamar bas the reputation of being very vise in matters of statecraft, although be s not considered a good politician. He las more breadth of view than any of MB associates. He has always led pub ic opinion in his State. His eulogy of .Miarles Sumner gave him instantly a lational reputation. It did more per haps to restore harmony between the s'orth and the South than any other one latine. There waa a rebellion against lim in hie own State on account of it. dis theory was then and mill is that the irosperily of the South almost wholly lepends upon the existence of friendly eiatiniib between it and the North. His lest marked public accomplishment WAS lia diplomatic management uf the South rn interesta in 1876 and 1877. It waa ie who conducted the negotiation where >y the Southern Staten secured their itate Governments and Hayes WAS count* id in. He WAS conspicuoua a-?ain for re using to obey the instructions of the kliasisaippi Legislature wbeu it requested jim to vote tor an inflation bill before he Senate or reaigu. lie refused to re ign and voted with the hard money ?copie. He canvassed the State un that ssue and secured finally the endorsement if his penple. Mr. Lamar ia-a widower, rle has un tontine outside of his official lalary. He lives very quietly. He is s nan slightly above five feet ten, with a urge, well-rounded figure. His head ii arge and thickly covered with grayish irown bair which falls in straight paral ela upon each side of bis face into I ong roll, which curls in at the back ol tis neck. His forehead is high ant: larrnw His eyes ure brown and deeplj let. His nose ia ut might. Tho lowei part of bis face ia hidden by a sweeping long must ache- and heavy chin whiskers His complexion is very sallow. He ha Lhe contemplative air ufa suident, nut is fond of ro!nude and reflection. THE POSTMASTER GENERAL. The Hon. William F. Vila?, of Wis ?onaii:, who has been placed In Presided Jleveland'a Cabinet, ia descended fron in old English tauiiiy whose lineage cai tie traced .back to the time of King Heu ry HI. He waa born in Cbelaea, Ver mont, July 9, 1840. Ho removed t Wiacousin wilb bia.falber'a family ii 1851 and bas ever since been a residen ut that Stale. He was graduated fror the Wisconsin Slate University iu 185? at the age of 18. Two years later b won his degree of LL. 13. at the Alban Law School, and was admitted the sam year to practice in the Supreme Court nf New York and Wisconsin, and bega the active practice, of bis profession s M ad mo n, Wis. He entered tbe 28d reg? ment of Wisconsin Volunteer Infaiiir io 1862 and fought with gallantry fe one year, rising to the rank of lieutenat colonel. Returning borne be resume tbe practice .of law and achieved sui cesa and distinction at the Bar. The 8 of January, 1866, be was married I Miss Anns Matilda, daughter of D William H. /ox, of the Village of Or, goo. Wis., and now baa a family of thn children.

He wss one of tl three leading attorneys appointed revise the Statutes of Wisconsin in 187 and personalty superintended tbe pub cation of the revision. He is una of t most active m ein be is of tbe W i aeon? Bos rd o|State University regents. 1 was one of the delegates from Wiucom to, the Democratic National Con vent! In Chicago and officiated aa president tbe Convention, being prominent mentioned himself for a place on t ticket. He afterwards made the speed of notification to'Cleveland and Ht drickr. He ls now a member from Mi ison in tafe lower House of tbe Wisc sio Legislature-the tta\ elective off heaver held-and ia the leader nfl Democratic side of the House. C Vitas is one of the most abie and c quent advocates in Wisconsin. C Vitas W? worth all the way from $200,4 to $800,000, most of it acquired from practice, and the rest Inherited from fal ber. who left . goodly estate. THE ATTORNEY GENERAL. .' Th* Hon. Augustus H. Garland, Littlo Eoc?r- Arkansas, ?ho has lu |Aa^sttaif?*adtff ^ tih^tcrcn* .? ;\ ' .'V fl '\ justice by President Cleveland, is a na tive of Tennessee, although he has lived ail ol his life, with tbe exception of the first year, in Arkansas. He wss well described by a friend as a very good man from a very bsd State. He is 03 years old. He looks hts age, although his thick, dsrk-hrown hair has hardly yet begun to show any signs of gray. He is tall, deep chested, broad-shouldered, in variably dresses in black, and to this day adheres to the soft slouch lint of Arkan sas life. He han a large head. His complexion is swarthy and dark. There is a solemn look upon his face in repose which su if gt st* the character of a great trogHian. His forehead is broad and big... * His eyes are very black and deep set under heavily shaded eyebrows. Iiis nose is strong, straight, and nearly Gre cian in ita line. His mouth is large and thin-lined. He has a verv deep, rich voice. He bas been considered one ot the best speakers in the Senate. In pri vate life he is fond of joking and de light? in chaffing his associates. Hut he never introduce-* any pleasantry into his public speeches. He thinks that such lightening of the burden of argument has a tendency to detract from itsdiguity aud influence. He is a lawyer from the1 crown nf hts head to the soles nf his feet. The study of the law with him is a pas sion. Ile can probably repeat more authorities by the page, and paragraphs from bis memory alone than any lawyer who practices before the Supreme Court. He has been one of the most ralued members of tho Senate Judiciary Com mittee, and on account of his legal acquirements is almost t.n int?mate friend of Senator Edmunds nf Vermont, although tho two have nothing iu com mon upon the ground of politics. Judge David Davis, of Illinois, when he was on the Supreme Bench .-nid that Gar land's briefs ranked aa high as those of any lawyer who practiced before that Court. It is Mr. Garland'* ambition to finally, reach a place upon the Supreme Bench. He cares nothing about politic*, and is more of a judge than a partisan. He is a widower, with a number of children. He has no fortune. He lives in a very simple, democratic way, and will make no attempt at appearing in the role of s society individual tn the Cabinet. Gar land is a very dignified man, with great sclf-poasesaion, and would appear well in any society. He baa received a classical education. He'was educated first at St. Mary's und St. Joseph's College in Ken tucky. He was admitted to the practice nf law in 1853 in -Washington, Arkansas. In 1850 ho vent to Little Rock. Five year? afit-rwards he entered politics for the first timo. His predilections and early aaaociationa made him a Whig ?ti po itics. The natural bent nf his mind and bia legal training makes him con servative. He wasdeterminedly opposed to the Radical politicians whn finally drove the Southern States into secession. He waa a Bell and Everett elector, sud with Col. J o lib R. Fellows, now of New York, made a forlorn but gallant fight for ' .he Constitution, the Union, and the enforcement of the laws." Sn long as there was any hope of a peaceable solution of the sectional differences he resisted io the State Convention the adoption of the secesniou ordinance, but when civil war was a foregone concludion, be stood munfully by his State and the cause of the Southern people. Ho was chosen to the provisional Congress which met at Montgomery, Alabama, in May, 1861, and awn-ted in framing the Constitution of the Confederate States. AS a member of the Confederate Con ?;reas, nerving in both Houses, he estab inned a high reputation for legal ability and conservative yet resolute character. Alter the war his influence in State and natioual pol?tica waa exerted in behalf of prudent yet firm constitutional resiatance to Federal encroachments. To his wise course and sage advice the overthrow of j carpet bag rule in Arkansan in 1874 is very largely due. Upon assuming the duties ot Governor of Arkansas he found the treasury bankrupt and the credit of | the State sunk an low that its scrip aold for 20 ce ti tn un the dollar. In less than one year alter he became Governor all differences were composed and the credit of the State had improved till its scrip waa worth fifi cents on the dollar. Ho had the confidence of the whole people, black aa well BS white, and waa elected Uuiled States Senator without opposition. In 1866 be wss elected to the United Slates Senate. He was refused admission there because the State was not then regularly admitted back in the Union. He made a national reputation for him self hy raising the question of the con stitutionality Of the law-requiring law yera to lake the test oath before bein; Sermined tu practice in the Uniter, tates Courte. He won his case, aa ia ahown in Volume 4 of Wsllace's Reports of the Supreme Court. Ho followed the practice of law until 1874. He was elected to the United States Senate in 1876, eucceediug Powell Clayton. He was re elected in 1K83. From bia great popularity in bia own State ii ia certain ihai he could mouin lu the Senate the reat of hia life, if be should so choose. Considerable Deliberation. - A drummer struck up an acqusintance with a Boston girl on a train that was snow bound during the recent blockade. Tbe car waa cold and the young lady nat with her hands iu ber mun. With that gent?o and persistent delicacy iu such matters for which the male sex, and drummers in particular, are noted, be managed to get one of bia banda into tbe muff* along with hers. "Sir I" she said, stiffly, "what do you mean by such con duct? I am inexpressibly shock td, air. 1 am from Boating, and I would bave : ?ou know that Huch familiarly is resented, would bc j y stifled in screaming for es slttanee, but I bate scene?, end i'll give you just twenty minutes to take your band out of there."-Chicago Herald. - There were no manufactured stock ings in the days of Lady Macbeth. A strip of cloth or woolen stuff was wrap ped around the feet and up to the knees, j and held in place by strings or straps, , laced like our sbneatring*. A remnant ! of these old improvised stockings msy be observed.upon the feet of newly arrived .Chinamen. Tbe first manufactured stockings of tbe ancients were of coarse material and clumsy fabrication. Tbe first silk stockings known in England were knitted by a lady of tbe .court of Queen Elizabeth for ber Majesty, who was so delighted, with their softness and flexibility that sha kept the donor knit* ting silk stockings ss lone as tba sugoat legs needed worldly covering.-New York World. . - Ao English architect e#serta that houses can be made of timber which will last longer than brick or stone.

And there's the devil's race horse which plies around about this time and, Uncle I?am says, chnrv-! terbakker like a gentleman, and if he spit in your eyas you'd go blind in a half a second. And one day he showed me the devil's darning needle which winds up the old fellow s atockina, and the devil's snuff box, which explodes when you mash it, and oue ounce of the stun" inside will kill a sound mulo before he can lay down. Then there's some flowers that he weare in his button hole called the devil's shoestring and the devil in Ihe bush. I like (armin.

Then we have a plenty of j peas aud potatoes and other garden yerb?, which helps a poor man out, and by the I 4th of July will have wheat bread and biskit aud blackberry pies, and pass a regular declaration of independence. 1 like fur.-nin. I like latitude and longitude. When we were penned up in town my children couldn't have a sling abut, or a bow and arrow, nor a chicken tight in the backyard, nor sick a dug oh aoothcr dog. nor let off a big Injun whoop, without some neighbor making a fusa about it. Aud then, again, lhere was a show, or a dance, or a bazar, or a missionary meeting most every night, and it look liko ibo children were just j obleeged to go or the world would come to an end. It waa money, money, money all the lime, but now lhere isti t a store or a milliner shop within five miles of | us, and we do our own work, and have learned what it costs lo make a bushel ol corn and a barrel of flour, and by the time Mrs. A rp has nursed and raised a lot of chickens and turkeys abe thinks so much of 'em she don't want us to kill 'em, and they are a heap belier and fat ter than any we used to buy. We've got I a great big fireplace in the family room, and can boil the codee, or heal a kettle of waler on the hearth if we waul to, for we are not on the lookout fur company all the lime like we used to be. We don't cook half aa much as we used to, nur waste a whole panel every day on the darkey, and we eat what is set before j us, and are thankful. It's a wonder to me that everybody don't go to farming. Lawyers and doc? tors bave to set about town and play I checkers, and talk pol?tica and wait for I I somebody to quarrel or fight, or get sick ; | I clerks and bookkeepers ligure and multi ply and count until they get to counting the atare, and the flies on tbe ceiling, and the peas in the didi, and the flowers on the papering ; the jeweler ails by bia window all the year round, working on little wheela, and the mechanic atrikea the name kind of a lick evey day. These people do nut belong to themselves ; they are all penned up like convicta in A chaingang ; .they can't take a day nor an bunr for recreation, for they are the KIT van ts of their employers. There is no profession that gives a man such freedom, such latitude, and auch a variety of employment as farming. While I was ruminating this morning, a boy come along and said the dogs bad treed something down io the bottom.' So me and my boys shouldered the guna and an ax, and took Mrs. Arp and the children along to see the sport. Wo cut down a hollow gum tree and caught a 'possum and two squirrels, and killed a rabbit on tbs mo, and bad a good time generally, with oo loss on our side. .We csu stop work most any time to give welcome to a passing friend -and bave a little chat, and our naours do the same by us ; but if you go into one of these factories or workshops, or ?ven a printing office, tho first signboard that greeta you says, "Don't talk to tho workmen.*" So ciable cvuwd, ain't lt f There'* no monotony upon the farm. There's something oew every doy, and the changing work bring* into action avery muscle in the human frame. We plow and hoe, and harrow and sow, and gather it in at harvest lime. ,Wo ' after the horses and cows, tho pf ~ sows, and the rams and the the chickens and the turkeys; We eut our own wood, and raise oor own bread and meat, and don't have to be stingy of it like city folk*.

But they de git the joke on ma some time*, for you seo, I'm fartain uccoidin to sch ed ti le, and it-don't always make i things exactly luminous. For instance, fi it said that cotton seed waa an exceHeni fertlliror. Well, I bsd 'em. and a* they . MS* a oUan, nico thing to handle, I pot 5 un** arwrt sMmytbhrs ta sap/ gM*J.-, inj.-.

I think when a man has passed the Rubicon nf life, and seen his share of trouble, amok in is allowable, for it kinder reconciles him to live on a while longer, and pro motes philo olio reflections, I never knnwed a high-tempered man to be fond of it.

Luttum, lu Yorkvllle Enquirer. Some time during the early part of last Fell, conatraiued hy ci rcu m st s ri ce* over which I bad no control, 1 abruptly brought the desultory akeichea of my rumbles over the British Isles tu a tem . porary close. These aketchea I now re aume with the announcement that "lime mid Chance muat determine how the subject theme may gang." Since, perhaps, the majority of the readers of the Enquirer are of Irish de acetit, and those wbo are nut of Irish descent ere intimately linked, in ? varie* ty of ways, with the Irish, 1 shall begin Ugain with Ireland. That I may nut otfuud the Protestent or Scotch Iradi ol America or Ireland, 1 mention the fact thai ibo word Irish ka used to denote the inhabitants of the Emerald Me. In other v. onie, it is mit restricltd, as ia fre quently done, to the pupal poi ti un of th? inhabitants of Ireland. Without a diatiuct luca of the geo graphical'Incntion of a country, our Ilia torical knowledge of that country is very unautiafacuiry. It may be asked, "Whal is Irclund?" To this'lt ia replied, Ire land is one of the ninny islands nf th? Atlantic ocean. Thia, however, is st indefinite, thal the queatiuu, "Where ii il ?" is promptly asked. To thia it ii replied, Ireland ia situated iu the north eastern part of the Atlantic Ocean, tbi southern port beiug non h of the equator about fifty one aud one half degrees, am tbejiortherti part being a fraction mort tbao filly fi e degrees north of the nani great circl. . It will be seen that Ireland is farthe north than any territory belonging lotte United Stute?, except Alaska. Dublin the capital of ireland, which 1a eituatet ou the eastern coast about midway be tween the northern and southern extrem .Jiiea ot tho inland, is a? far north a Labrador. From New York to Queens town the distance ia pul duwu in mum ni'mbci.: at two thousand seven Imndrt and ii.ty ui?-a. The muthern extrem it uf ireland is tully ??leen hundred mile limber north thai' the city of Charleston South Carolina: From its great.dislanc the inference might be hastily draw that Ireland, io Winter, ia an extreme! cold country. Such a conoluaion woUl be egregiously erroneous. The thei ammeter (Fahrenheit) rarely rises a DOV seventy or falls below fifteen degree The average te maje rature of Ireland, ft the year is about forty seven- or eig! degrees. Such being the facts wit respect to tbe climate vf Ireland, it ma; when compared with other countries i Europe and America, of the same lat tude, be said to be very mild. There Ts one thing about the clima' uf Ireland which is very noticeable, ia its uniform rooistoess. Fur nearly tl whole year the winda blow from ibo A linnie Ocean. These winds are load? with moisture, and there being no bit ranges.of mountains to intercept tl western clouds they gently distill tbe moisture all over the island. To. thia mainly due tbat greenness of the veget lion which led to naming the leim Oreen Erin, Emerald Isle, and Gre? lele of tbe Ocean. It never raina ireland'aa it sometimes rains in o Southern country. I did not see a gul in Ireland. And I saw no instance any regard being paid to the cultivate of the still so aa to pre veal washing. C the contrary I saw many very Bleep bi cultivated "up and down" aa our fatbi did wheo they first came to America, ta true that the roil of Ireland is heat! aod more dibit ult to be washed Into gt Ilea than our Southern toll general Notwithstanding tLis if the raina ii ll torrents in Ireland as tbey foquontly f In our country, it would be but a f years until the bills of Green Erin wot fiod a resting place at tbe bottom of l Atlantic Ocean and tbe Irish Sea. 1 fact is that it never rains In torrente Ireland ai it so frequently does In coi tries nearer the equator. " ? There are two other very noticea oharacferistica of an' Ir lah rain. Tt are ita dampness and ita chilliness, one sense, it may be said that ail ruins all countries are damp, and tbat t measure of their dampness is the amoi of water which falls. Thia I am disposed to controvert, but I dd ell that an Irish rain baa more wetting pr ertlca than tho ?ame amount of wi distilled from thp clouds lo our noun , has. Tb? fact of the case ls simply tl Th aro ia constantly so much moisture tho atmosphere that the leaves of ti when they fall, or oiher vegetation WI it dies ?or &f*sspca*d ix> tho S?D, m become crispy or brittle no accron the thorough" evaporation of moisi . Jkfm *bWss '.O^ peeliitiaf thM?m difficult tu dry clothe* In Ireland, espe cially il they'are made of a fabric which han a strong affinity for mol-ture. With an atmosphere so heavily freighted with moisture, il ii* not difficult to understand how it is that an Irish rain possesses great wetting properties.. i'ue other characteristic of an Irish rain is the peculiar chill? sensation which it producen. There ?a a kind of Spring weather which, in our Southern country, is sometimes called tho "whip (.norwin storm," that will enable the render to form nu idea of wbal is meant .<y tho chilliness ol' an Irish rain. It makes an individual feel cold all over. This dump, chilly atmosph?re of Ire land contributes largely to tho comfortof ?tn inhabitant*, as well as to the fertility ot its soil. While tho dampness of the atmosphere retards the drying of wet clothes and adds to the horrors of wash* 'lay, it also gives durability to clothes. I saw linen sheeh>, which, I was credibly IMIOImed, had been in constant use for more than fifty year?. Thoy were manu factured hy bund and bleached on a green, and tint hy chemicals. It may be added thal .these sheets showed no signs oj ugo, and with the sac & care bestowed ? upon them in the future that they have received in the past, there seems to be no reason for doubting bul that they wilt lust, without a rent, Air a century. Another advantage derived from the cold, dump atmosphere nf Ireland is the great facility with which meuts are pre? .erved ai tiny und all times of the year. Hogs ore slaughtered ut all times ot'the * year, mid the most luscious bacon that ever entered tho mouth cured in the month ol' AugUBt. A slaughtered mut? ton will hang in the sun fur mom than a day without the least sign nf putrefac tion, in several places I saw,duriugtbe lust days ot June, when the sun rose nt it few minutes alter three and set at a few minuit!! before nine, butchered hogs hauled through the streets at noon. I ?aW the rame lb i tig ttgain later in July. Were such a thing attempted in our MU ti try, files by the thousands would be lhere to do their fatal work and tbe buz Eurds would he ul the butcher pen before the hair wan removed from the caresses. in Ireland lhere ure lew Mies. 1 saw none and tho buzzard has no existeuco on thu island. Its scavenger duties are perform? d by the crow. . As I um committed to no order and have no pinn, I may us well say here no elsewhere, thai the crows are numbered by thu hundreds of tbousunds, I almost said millions, in Ireland. The sumo is true ol' bulli England and Scotland, hut I think they are more plentiful in Ire hind than in either of, the other places. Connected with nearly all ibo landlord castles there ure largo groves or forests nf trees. The-e trees have nil, or nearly all, been planted out, nod are generally comparatively small. They are not large-bodied and tall trees, such as are leen in the native forests of nur country. They consist of several vurietiesof tree?, but the must numerous are firs-a species nf pine. In one of these grove*-that onnlng a part of tho premise? of Lord Waveuy-I saw, I dare not.say.how . many, crows; hut I will dare to say I suw inure crows* nests than aro in several counties in the 8tuto of South Carolina. I um prepared to say, as i believe, that there ure moro crow? on Lord Waveny'a estato than aro in tne whole 8tate of . Suuth Carolina. I will not say that I saw a crow's nest on every tree in his premise?, for I did not see every tree,lint saw what I never saw before, und never expect io see again until I go back to Ireland. I saw us many ns half a dozen crows' nests on one tree. Tba stringent tiling of i.ll about this is the fact that Warevty's castle is in (.dose proximity to Hally mena, a tqwn of some nine thousand inhabitant:!. American town boys would ?"j(,y a glorious time in crow shooting, were these rookeries ns near any of our towns, lt was evident of the crows, cot . only on Lord Waveny'a castle grounds, ' but in all parts ni Ireland, that they . never, or at lta?t very rarely, are shot at. There are two other birds in Ireland that deserve tn be noticed. So far aa I know they are not found in .America, at least not in the Snutheru Stau a. But I make no pretension to any great kuowl* edge nf ornithology. The two birds to which I refer ure tho. cuckoo and corn crake. About the latter there is, so far as I know, nothing renou kable except tbat it frequents corn fields (oat fields) and may be heard uttering a strange craking note like no other sound that ever I heard, and although tho bird * seems, from the sound, bi be near by, it is very difficult to get a sight of it. In site and general appearance it resembles somewhat our partridge. The cuckoo is a real wonder, tn size and general appear ance i specially. When it is on tho wing t ii resembles a small hawk. It 1B not. however, a bird, of prey. Its principal food is the caterpillar. So far, tho cuckoo may be regarded aa beneficial. The cuckoo, like our whip poor-will, ia a bird of passage. It spends from about the middle of July to tbe first of April in Africa and the remainder of the year in insular and continental Europe. Tbe . mates come first in Spring, and in a few days after their arrival tho females come. ' Only the males sing origlve utterance- to the sound norn which tbe name of the bird is derived. Soon after ita arrival it ceases to sing entirely, but again for a short time prior to its departure it begins to sing again, but in a hoarser voice and ut the same time, doubling the first sylla ble, thus cuck cuckoo. Ibis seems to be the signal fur its departure. The cuckoo . does some -very strange things. The female, it ls said, 1 ayn only one egg, and . this always jr? the nest of some other ' bird. It la claimed that the egg ls, in color, alway? like the egg of the bird in whose mut it is laid. Tbe cuckoo often, if not always, deposits ila egg in a oest so small that it can not sit upon the . nest as other birds' 'do when lay'mfr. Such being the case it lays its egg on the ?round and then taking lt up in its bill ' eposits lt in the nest of some other bird. Having laid the egg and deposited it io - the nett of another bird, the cuckoo com? mita the whole matter of Incubation and, feeding the young bird, wTfeo it is hatch? cd, to the bird in whose nest the egg was d posited. So soon as the young cuckoo creeps from the shell it. places ita wings nuder the other young birds in tbe nest and by a peculiar upward motion throws -them ont of the nest to the ground. Tho expelling motion is such as to cause the proper occupants of the nest to fall on their backs.. Crippled by the fall they remain, upon their backs until they die. The young cuckoo now becomes tho solo occupant of the heat and the only object of i care to the bird whose progeny it has . mercilessly destroyed. It grows rapidly, bot is naturally so ?tupid and lazy that its foster parents have to perch them- . selves upon its back in order to place Itt- .;'.-; tts mouth the food which thoy have pro- . vided for Ita nourish me. A As migl?f?ljp$ expected, the- cuckoo U hated by eyetry.^ other bird.: It bas no friends. Birds of ail hinds pursue it, and bom all lt flees aa if conscious that it begeh lifo as a bouse bleaker and murderer.' -?An Indiana glrl'a toby, ia named. '?Oyetona."
