Heraldry is defined as the art or science of blazoning or describing in appropriate technical terms coats of ai ms and other heraldic and armor- ial insignia. Tiie system is of very ancient origin. We can trace it back to the Jewish tribes ; and eubsequently we find it in a more elaborate form in the leading families of Greece and Rome, who bore distinguishing symbols, illustrative of, or pertaining to, deeds of valor or merit performed by their ancestors. In its modern sense, however, the heraldic art dates from the time of the Crusades, and was le- duced to its present perfect system by the French ; and it was not until that period that the crest or cognizance was generally adopted. The crest is a device worn on top of the shield, usually placed on a wreath, and was worn by knights and other personagj's of rank, when clad in armor, to dis- tingiii.~h them in battle, and as a mark for their followers and supporters. At first these badges were worn on the helmet, to render them more plainly visible, or on the arm, but in later times were transferred to the shield or armor. An erroneous idea is entertained by some, that heraldic symbols denote an aristocratic or ex- clusive class, aud is undemocratic in its origin and permanency. On the contrary — and this is es- ecially true of the Irish-Milesian families— these adges of distinction were the reward of personal merit, and could be secured by the humblest as well as the highest. They are to-day the tes- timonials and warrants of bravery, heroism, and meritorious deeds of our ancestors ; and they appeal to the pride of the intelligent and enlightened descendants of these distinguished families to-day, as the valiant deeds and self-sacrificing acts of contemporaiy persons would to their posterity. The antiquity of Irish heraldry antedates that of any other people, ancient or modern. It is nniversally conceded that a high order of Irish civilization prevailed many centuries anterior to the evolution of modern European peoples, or the foundation of the oldest of the Continental nations. " See she smiles upon the touchstone on her distant youth, Lookin;; Glengavlin, and joins the Shannon about 2 miles' below Lugnashinua. This is, properly speaking, ' the real head water or main stream of the Shan- non, though it is not called by the name. \ The Owenayle, running south on the western boundary line between Cavan and Leitrim, joins \ the Shannon just before the latter enters Lough Allen. The Claddagh rises, on the southeast slopes of Cuilcagh Mountain, and, flowing through Swanlinbar, enters Fermanagii for Lough Erne ; it is joined at Swanlinbar by the Blackwater^ — called in the early part of its course the Oweiisallagh. The Woodford River runs for the greater part through Cavan; issuing from Garadice Lough (in Leitrim), and flowing by Ballyconnell, it forms for the rest of its course — to Upper Lough Erne — the boundary between Cavan and Fer- managh. The Erne, from its source in Lough Gowna, to near where it enters Upper Lough Erne, belongs to this countj'. The Annalee flows west into Lough Oughter, passing by the villages of Ballyhaise and Butlers- bridge : in the early part of its course it is called the Annagh, flowing from Lough Sillan and through Lough Tacker, near Shercock. The Annalee is joined by the Dromore River, which rises in Dromore Lough, on the boundary of the FARNHAM STREET, CAVAN. CAVAN. county near Cootehill, and a little further on by the Bunnoe stream from the north. The Black- water rises on the eastern slope of Benbrack, and flows southeast near the boundarj' with Leitrim till it enters Garadice Lough. The Inny, flowing through Lough Sheelin and Lough Kinale, forms for some distance the boundaries between this county and those of Meath and "Westmeath. The Meath Blackwater flows for 2 to 3 miles through Cavan from its source in Lough Kamor. The Moynalty River, flowing southeast from its source near Bailieborough, forms, for 5 to 6 miles, the boundary between Cavan and Meath, entering Meath 2 miles above Moynalty. LAKES. — The center of the county, especially that portion occupied by the two baronies of Upper and Lower Loughtee, is broken up by innumerable small lakes, the intervening portions of land being thickly populated and well culti- vated, and in many parts — especially along the lake shores — beautifully wooded. Lough Oughter is an extraordinary complication of water : a large lake broken up into a number of small sheets by promontories, peninsulas, and islands, of all shapes and sizes — wooded, verdant, and cultivated. It contains among others the islands of Eonish, Trinity (in which are the ruins of Trinity Abbey), and Inch: and on a rock in the midst of the lake stands Clogh- Oughter Castle in ruins. On the southern boundary is Lough Sheelin, more than half of which belongs to Cavan, a beautiful lake, nearly 5 miles long by about 2 miles broad. Near this is the smaller Lough Kinale, of which less than half is in Cavan. Lough Gowna, which is very much broken up — something like Lough Oughter — lies on the southwestern boundai-y> and belongs in part to this county. Lough Eamor, near the southeast border, is about 4 miles long, with an average width of I mile, and is diversified with a number of lovely little wooded islands. In the east, near Shercock, is the pretty Lough Jillan, and the two smaller Loughs, Tacker and Barnagrow. Brackley Lough, nearly a square mile in extent, lies in the northwest, near the village of Bawnboy. TOWNS.— Cavan (3,050), the county town. lies in a hollow overtopped by one of those round grassy hills so common in this part of the county, with the beautiful demesne of Farn- ham in its neighborhood. Cootehill ( 1,789), near the northeast boundary, is a neat, well- built town, in the midst of a beautiful district, well cultivated, and diversified with lakes and woods. Belturbet (1,807), on the Erne, between Lough Oughter and Lough Erne, is a prosperous little town, with a large distillery; communica- tion by barges with Lough Erne, and through the Ulster Canal (which joins the Erne a little below the town) with Lough Neagh. Bailieborough (1,091), in the east of the county, is a very neat town, with an unusual number of public institutions. Kingscourt (932) is at the extreme eastern corner, beside the finely wooded demesne of Cabra. Virginia (663) is a pretty little town, beautifully situated on the north shore of Lough Eamor; Bally j am esduff (731) lies 6 miles west of Virginia. Arvagh (716) is prettily situated on the shore of the little lake Garty, at the western boundary. Sillashandra (709), near the west shore of Lough Gowna, is perched on a ridge in the midst of a number of beautiful lakes. MINERALS.— The Connaught coal field ex- tends into Cavan, comprising a small portion of the county in the northwest, bordering on Lough Allen; and coal is found also neai* Kingscourt and near Shercock. The high land near Swan- linbar produces iron ore ; and lead and copper ores are found near Cootehill. ANCIENT DIVISIONS AND DESIGNA- TIONS. — This county was anciently called East Brefny or Brefny O'Eeilly; for it was the patri- mony of the O'Eeillys: the county Leitrim form- ing West Brefny or Brefny O'Eourke. Croghan, near Killashandra, was the place where the O'Eourke used to be inaugurated prince of Brefny. The plain lying round Ballymagauran, cn the boundary with Leitrim, was the ancient Moy- slecht, where the pagan Ii'ish worshiped their chief idol Crom-Cruach. Here, according to the bardic history, the pagan monarch Tiernmas and three-fourths of the men of Ireland were killed in some supernatural way while worship- ing Crom-Cruach. Many centuries after th<» idol was destroyed by St. Patrick. CLARE. NAME. — The county is named from the little town of Clare, near the mouth of the Fergus : and this got its name from a bridge of planks by which the Fergus was crossed in old times: the Gaelic word clar signifying a board or jjlank. SIZE AND POPULATION.— This county has water all round (namely, the Atlantic, the Shan- non, and Lough Derg) except for 40 miles of its north and northeastern margin, where it is bounded by Galwaj'. Greatest length from Loop Head to the boundary near Lough Atorick on the northeastern border, 67 miles; breadth from Limerick to Black Head (nearly, but not quite, at right angles to the length), 42 miles; breadth from Black Head to the shore west of Bunratty (at right angles to the length), 35 miles; area, 1,294 siiuare miles; population, 141,457. SURFACE. — It may be stated in a general way that the northern part and the eastern margin are mountainous or hillj-; and the middle and south form a broad plain, occasionall.y broken up by low hills, and in one place by a considerable mountain (Slieveoallan). The barouj- of Burren in the north is an extraordinary region of lime- stone rock, rising into hills of bare gray lime- stone, the intervening valleys or flats being also composed of limestone, with great blocks strewn over the surface, both hills and valleys being relieved here and there by lovely grassy patches of pure green. MOUNTAINS AND HILLS.— The highest summit of the Barren district is Slieve Elva (1,109), a couHi)icLious flat-topped mountain; Cappanawalla 1,023) rises direct over Ballyvaghan Bay; and in the east of the same district is Slievecarran (1,075). On the northeast margin are Tm-keungb and Cappaghabaun (1,126), which may be regarded as offshoots of the Slieve Aughty range, on the Gal- way side of the boundary. Further soutb, near the east border, runs the Slieve Bernagh range to which belong the two adjacent hills of Glen- nagalliagh (1,746 and 1,458), rising over Lough Derg near Killaloe, and a mile further west Cragnamurragh (1,729). | Slievecallan (1,282), 6 miles east of Miltown Malbay, though not the highest, is the most re- markable mountain in Clare, rising isolated from the plain, and commanding a view of the whole county. On its side is a celebrated cromlech, with an Ogham inscription. Northwest of Limerick is a low range of heights locally well known as the Cratloe Hills. COAST LINE.— From Limerick to Loop Head — not following the windings of the coast — is about 55 miles; and from Loop Head to Black Head on the Atlantic side, about 50 miles. This last coast, for almost its whole length, is a suc- cession of cliffs. At Boss, 3 miles northeast from Loop Head, are two very wonderful natural bridges spanning the waves. At Kilkee the coast abounds in caves, sharp-edged cliffs, and castellated rocks, standing up like pillars in the sea, and quite detached from the mainland. But the Cliffs of Moher are the crowning glory of this coast. They begin at Hag's Head, and form a continuous rocky wall, perpendicular or over- hanging, for four miles, varying in height from 400 to 668 feet, broken into the most fantastic forms and tunneled into innumerable caves by the action of the waves. At the northern ex- tremity there is a steep and dangerous pathway down the face of a cliff called Aillenasharragh, by which the sea margin may be reached ; and when the tide is out one can walk for a long dis- tance at the very base of the great wall of rock. HEADLANDS.— Beginning at the north- east, and going regularly round the coast: Aughinish Point, on the north of the entrance to Aughinish Bay. Black Head, forming the northwest angle of the county, is a line rocky promontory, rising at its highest point to 1,041 feet, not perpendicular like the Cliffs of Moher, but in a gradual slope, with a road winding all round halfway down between the summit and the sea. Doolin Point: Hag's Head, the end of a bold projection which defines on the north Lis- cannor Bay: Cream Point and Spanish Point, two rough scarr ed projecting sea rocks near Miltown Malba.v : Lurga Point, opposite Mutton CLAKE. Island : Donegal Point, defining Farrihy Bay on the north; Foohagh Point, a little south of Kilkee. Loop Head, the extreme end of the Jong peninsula between the Shannon and the Atlantic Ocean, is a bare headland rising 200 feet straight from the waves. At the very ex- tremity of the head is an island — a mere pillar of rock with perpendicular sides standing out of the waves — separated from the mainland by a fearful chasm, not more than 20 or 30 feet wide, and 200 feet deep; at the bottom of which the sea is alwaj'S raging even in calm weather. The island rises exactly to the level of the mainland, from which it seems to have been separated by Bome convulsion : and though it looks perfectly inaccessible, it contains some remains of primi- tive buildings of ecclesiastical or sepulchral origin. The people call the old building Dermot and Grania's Bed, which is the usual popular name for a cromlech. On the Shannon shore are Kilcredaun Point, near Carrigaholt, and Kil- kerrin Point, on the south of Clonderalaw Bay. ISLANDS. — The whole group of islands in the estuary of the Fergus belongs to Clare. The chief are Inishmore or Deer Island, close by the western shore: Inishmacowney, south of it; near which is Canon Island, crowned with the ruins of a monastery (for Augustinian canons) : Inish- loe, east of this: Inishcorker lying just outside the village of Killadysert : and near the eastern shore, Inishmacnaghtan. In the Shannon, outside Kilrush, is Scatterj' Island, bj' far the most remarkable island belong- ing to Clare, once a celebrated seat of i'eligion and learning (founded by St. Seuan in the fifth century), and now containing the ruins of "seven churches" and a round tower, as memorials of its former importance. Hog Island lies between Scattery and the mainland. A little south of Kilkee is Bishop's Island, a mere sea rock, flat and grassy on top, with a per- pendicular wall of rock all round, nearly inacces- sible, yet containing the ruins of a primitive religious establishment. Mutton Island, or Inishkeeragh, rough and rocky, lies outside Mil- town Malbay. This is the island anciently called Inis-Fithi, of which there is historical record that in the j'ear 804 it was severed into three parts in one night by a great storm. The por- tions severed from the main body are two lofty I masses of rock rising out of the waves immedi* ately north of the island. St. Thomas' Island lies in the bend of the Shannon, a mile and a half above Limerick. BAYS AND HARBOKS.— In the Shannon: the broad estuary of the Fergus, containing a large number of islands, all low and grassy^ affords ample facilities for navigation: the deep bay of Clonderalaw is further west : next is Kil- rush Harbor, and the landlocked shallow bay of Poulanishery, with its oyster beds: Carrigaholt Bay lies outside the village, from which it has its name: between which and Loop Head are Einevella Bay and Kilbaha Bay. On the Atlantic coast, three miles from Loop Head, is Ross Bay, which is noted for its two natural bridges, under which the sea is continu- ally dashing, very beautiful, and almost as regu- lar as if put up bj' human hands. Next is Moor*. Bay at Kilkee, horseshoe shaped, and sheltered from the Atlantic swell by the low reef called the Duggerua Rocks. What is called Mai Bay is merely the sea west of Miltown, and is really no bay at all: Liscannon Bay, atLehinch, is defined on the north by the promontory of Hag's Head. On the north is Blackhead or Ballyvaghan Bay, near which to the east are the two deep bays of Muckinish and Aughiuish (or Corranroo). On the shore near the halmet of Burren are the famous Burren oyster beds. RIVERS.— The Shannon, with Lough Derg, bounds Clare for about 70 miles, viz., from near Scarriff Bay in Lough Derg, the whole way to Loop Head, except for about 6 miles af' Limerick city, where a small portion of the county Limerick lies on the right bank of the river. Between Killaloe and Limerick are the "Falls of Doonass, " where the river rushes over a series of rocks, forming one of the finest rapids in the kingdom. The Fergus, which, with its tributaries, drains a large area of tbe middle of the county, rises in the barony of Corconuoe, a few miles northwest of Corrofin, and flowing through Inchiquin Lough, Lough Atedaun, and others, it passes by Ennis and Clare, and opens out by a broad estuary into the Shannon. The Moyree River coming from the borders of Galway in the northeast, joins the Fergus after flowing through Dromore Lako; the Claureen River runs east through the barony of islands, and joins the CLARE. Fergus just above Ennis. The Latoon Creek, called in the earlier part of its course the Ardsollus River, falls into the Fergus at the top of the estuary. This river, in several parts of its course, disappears in limestone cauvers, especially near Tulla, where it rushes through the extraordi- nary Caves of Tomeen. The Eiver Graney issues from Lough Grauey in the barony of Tulla, and passing through Lough O'Grady, falls into Lough Derg at Scariff bay; its headwaters are two streams that fall into Lough Graney, viz., the Bleach Kiver, which comes from the east, rising in Lough Atorick, on the boundary between Clare and Galway, and the Drumandoora coming from the west. Just where the Graney issues from Lough Graney it is joined by the Caher Eiver. The Owenogarney issues from Doon Lake, in the barony of Lower Tulla, near Broadford ; after passing Six-mile bridge it takes the name of the Bunratty River, and joins the Shannon at Bun- ratty; at the mouth, just where the last bridge crosses the river stands Bunratty Castle, built in the 13th century, the largest and finest ruin of its kind in the whole county. The Inagh or Cullenagh Eiver rises about 4 aailes southeast of Slievecallan ; flowing tc the northwest it passes through Drumcullaun Lake: «t Ennistimon it falls over a ledge of rocks, form- ing a beautiful cascade ; and 3 miles lower enters Liscannor Bay at Lehinch. The Doonbeg or Cooraclare Eiver falls into Doonbeg Bay, north- east of Kilkee; and a little north of this are the Creegh Eiver, and the Aunageerah. The Aille River flows from Lisdoonvarua into the ocean near Doolin Point. LAKES.- — ^Clare abounds in small lakes, many of them bleak, and surrounded by bog and heath; but others among the most picturesque in Ireland. Inchiquin Lake, near Corroliu, is a lovely lake, a mile in length, with a hill (Cantla.v or Countlay), celebrated in legend, rising over its western shore; and a fine castle ruin on the north side, the ancient residence of the O'Briens, earls of Inchiquin; the lake gives name to the barony of Inchiquin. This is the westernmost of a chain of small lakes, of which the principal are- Lough Atedaun, Lough Cullaun, Lough George, and Muckauagh Lake ; to the north of this last is Lough Bunny; and to the south of it Dromore Lough. East of Dromore Lough, near the village of Crusheen, is the beautiful Inchi- cronan Lake, with a fine demesne, and the ruins of an abbey and of a castle on its shore. Another group lies in the southeast, between the village of Six-mile bridge and Tulla. Be- ginning on the west, the chief of these are Fin Lough and Eoscroe Lough, 3 miles east of New market-on-Fergus ; northeast of these is Lough Cullaunyheeda, nearly round, and 1 mile in diameter; next, Clonlea Lake; and still further east Doon Lough. Lough Graney, in the east, 2^ miles long by ^ mile broad, lies in the midst of hills; south of which is the smaller Lough O'Grady; and 6 miles northeast of Lough Graney is Lougb Atorick, on the boundary with Galway. Lickeen Lake, 3 miles northeast of Ennistimon, is mile long. Doo Lough, 1^ miles long, lies 6 miles southeast of Miltown Malbay. TOWNS.— Ennis (6,307), the assize towu, stands on the Fergus, nearly in the center of the county. In the town are the ruins of the Fran- ciscan abbey, founded in the 13th century; and 2 miles to the north are the church ruin and round tower of Drumcliff, a far more ancient foundation. Kilrush (3,805) is at the head of a little inlet of the Shannon, into which steamers ply ; a very prosperous town, with an extensive trade. Kilkee (1,652), on the shore of a lovely little inlet of the Atlantic (Moore Bay), is one of the finest watering places in Ireland, and is cele- brated for its splendid cliff scenery. Killaloe (1,112), in the east, on the Shannon, just where it issues from Lough Derg, 14 miles above Limerick, was in old times a great religious cen- ter, and is still a bishop's see: it has several interesting church ruins; and near the town are the remains of Kincora, the ancient palace of Brian Boru. The other towns on the margin, going regu- larly round, are: Scarriff (785), near the head of Scarriff Bay, in Lough Derg; Newmarket-on- Fergus (618), 2 miles east of the Fergus estuary; Killadysart (560), on the Shannon, at the west- ern corner of the estuary of the Fergus; the fish ing village of Carrigaholt (360), west of Kilrush. with its old castle ruin on a rock over the bay, is the capital of the Loop Head peninsula; Mil- town Malbay (1,400), in the west, a mile and a CLAKE. uaif from tiie coast, near the beautiful horseshoe bay inclosed by Spanish Point and Caherrush Point, is much frequented as a bathing place. Ennistimon (1,331), on the luagh or Cullenagh Eiver, 2 miles from the head of Liscanno Bay, is beautifully situated among pretty hills and plantations, and just beside a lovely waterfall. On the north coast is Ballyvaghan, a small but prosperous village, locally important from its position on the shore of Galway Bay. The other inland towns are : Clare or Clare Castle (790), near the mouth of the Fergus; a mile from which, toward Ennis, near the shore of the Fergus, are the interesting ruins of Clare Abbey, erected by Donald O'Brien, king of Munster, at the close of the 12th century. Tulla (758), 10 miles east of Ennis, which gives name to the two baronies of Tulla; south of this is Sixmilebridge (446), on the Owenogarney, 8 miles northwest of Limerick city. In the north- west are Corrofin (579), on the Fergus, in a lovely situation between Inchiqnin Lake and Lough Atedaun ; and Lisdoonvarna, at the head of the little river Aille, 6 miles north of Ennis- timon, which was until lately a mere hamlet, but is now a noted health resort, on account of its sulphur spas, and is growing fast in population and prosperitv. Minerals. — Sandstone flags, like the fiags of Carlow, are produced round Kilrush, Kil- kee, and Ennistimon. Excellent slates are found at Broadford, near Killaloe; but the prin- cipal quarries of Killaloe slates are in Tipperary, at the other side of the Shannon. At Bally- hickey, east of Ennis, and at Miltown near Tulla, there are valuable lead mines, which produce also silver combined with the lead. ANCIENT DIVISIONS AND DESIGNA- TIONS. — Clare anciently belonged to Connaught, but was annexed to Munster in the 4th century A.D. It formed a portion of the ancient kingdom of Thomond. The old territory of Corco-Baskin included the whole of the southwestern penin- sula, namely, that portion now occupied by the two baronies of Moyarta and Clonderalaw. Hy Caisin, the territory of the Macnamaras, lay in the baronies of Upper Bunratty and Upper Tulla. Hy Fermaic or Kinel-Fermaic, the district of the O'Deas, was in the present barony of Inchiquin. Immediately south of Hy Fermaic was the old district of Hy Cormac, the territory of the family of O'Hehir, lying between the river Fergus and Slievecallan, and comprising the whole of the barony of Islands, except the parish of Clon- dagad, which belonged to Corco-Baskin. The old district of Corcomroe occupied all that terri- tory in the north now covered by the two baron- ies of Corcomroe and Burren. From this territory the celebrated Corcomroe Abbey took name, the fine ruins of which lie 4 miles east from Ballyvaghan. Kiucora, the ancient palace of Brian Boru, king of Ireland (slain at Clontarf, a. d. 1014), wae at Killaloe; and the ruins of the old mounds an fortifications still remain. The Cratloe Hills, northwest of Limerick, were anciently called Slieve-oy-an-ree, the mountain of the death of the king, from the following cir- cumstances. Ohy Moyvane was king of Ireland from A.D. 358 to 365; his queen was Mongfinn, whose brother, CrifEan, became king on the death of Ohy. Mongfinn, wishing that her eldest son Brian should be king, administered poison to the king her brother on a little island in the river Moy in Mayo, and in order to hide sus- picion, she herself drank some of the poison before giving it to Criffan. Mongfinn died of the drink, and Criffan, feeling that he had been poisoned, instantly set out for Munster ; but on crossing the Cratloe Hills he sank under the effect of the draught and died : hence the name. Mongfinn 's wicked act was vain, hov/ever; for on Criffan 's death, the great king Niall of the Nine Hostages, son of Ohy Moyvane by another wife, Carinna, ascended the throne of Ireland. CLARE. ILLTJSTR^TIOIsrS. KILLALOE. — This ancient and historic town is connected with the Tipperary side of the Shannon by a curious old bridge of nine- teen arches. The town once enjoyed great celebrity as the x'esidence of the Munster kings, among them Brian Boru who reigned there both as king of Munster and chief mon- arch of Ireland. A mound or fort is all that now remains of the palace of Kincora, so famed in song and story. Killaloe was formerly an im- portant military position, placed as it is between the Arra and Slieve Bernagh Mountains at the only fordable part of the Shannon. Here it was that Sarsfield performed his splendid feat of in- tercepting and blowing up King William's artil- lery train on its way to aid in the siege of liimerick. It is a noted place for angling, the broad meres and rapids of the Shannon here affording excellent opportunity for that sport. ENNISTYMON.— The county of Clare pos- sesses many interesting remains and a memo- rable record, though in latter days, like many other, especially of the western counties, it has fallen off in commercial importanoe and population. Within its boundaries the O'Briens, Lords of Thomond, exercised control for cen- turies, and at Kincora, King Brian Boru, when chief monarch of Ireland, dwelt. This terri- tory was "granted" by King Edward I., of England, to Thomas de Clare, Earl of Glouces- ter, but the O'Briens maintained their struggle for the retention of their domains with such energy and persistence that the intruders were ultimatelj' driven out. Not until 1565, was Thomond converted into shire-ground ; the last Irish sept who possessed control were the Mc- Mahous — a different family from the McMahons of Monaghan. Of the towns, Ennistymon — near the head of Liscannor Bay — is one of the most noted, though not the largest, in Clare. The name is derived from Inis-Dimain-Dimain's holm, or island — -and is situated in a setting of exquisite natural surroundings. The cascades or rapids of the Cullenagh Rivei', which flows through it, are attractive, and elicit the admira- tion of visitors. CORK. NAME.— In the 6th century St. Finbar founded a monastery on the edge of a marsh near the mouth of the river Lee, round which a city subsequently sprang up. Hence the name of the city, Cork, which is a shortened from of the Gaelic word Corcach, signifying a marsh. SIZE AND POPULATION.— Cork is the largest county in Ireland. Length, from Crow Head at Dursey Island in the southwest, to the northeastern corner at Kilbeheny near Mitchels- town in the northeast, 98 miles: greatest length, from Crow Head to Youghal, 102 miles; breadth, from the boundary at the Mullaghareirk Moun- tains in the northwest, to Robert's Head, south of Cork Harbor, 54 miles; area, 2,890 sq. miles; population, 495,607. For legal purposes the county is divided into East Riding and West Eiding. SURFACE. — Cork is on the whole a moun- tainous county. The most rugged part is the •west, where the mountains generally run in chains east and west, forming part of the great mountain group that covers the western parts of Cork and Kerry. In the middle and southeast there are stretches of champaign land, but \vith mountains and hills always in near view, MOUNTAINS AND HILLS.— North of Bantry Bay the Caha Mountains lie on the bound- ary of Cork and Kerry, the Miskish Moun- tains being their continuation to the west, ex- tending to the very point of the peninsula. Of these the most remarkable summits are Hungry Hill (2,251), just on the boundary near Bear- haven; and Sugarloaf (1,187), a conical hill, a little west of Glengarriff. East of these is a mountain group, containing within its circuit the Pass of Keimaneigh (a splendid gorge lead- ing from the valle.y of the Owvane to the \alley of the Lee) and the lake of Gougane Barra; of this group the chief summit is the fine conical hill of Shehy (1,797), at the head of the Owvane Valley. North of these lies another east and west range, beginning on the west with the Derrj-nas- aggart Mountains (2,133), lying on the bound- ary of Cork and Kerry, midway between Macroom and Killarney ; east of these, still keeping the same general direction, is the longer range of the Boggeragh Mountains, culminating in Musheramore (2,118), rising over Mill Street; east of these again, and still in the same direc- tion, are the Nagles Mountains, which terminate near Fermoy. This whole range, from the west end of the Derrynasaggart Mountains to Fermoy, is more than 40 miles in length. The Boggeragh Mountains and the Nagles Mountains define on the south the valley of the Blackwater; which has on the north the Ballyhoura range, extend- ing into Limerick; and east of these are the Kil- worth Mountains, between Kilworth and Mit- chelstown. The northwest angle of the county, near Newmarket, is a region of mountains. In the midst is Taur (1,329); while in the north the Mullaghareirk Mountains (1,341) form for part of their course the boundary of Coik and Limerick. In the extreme southwest, Mount Gabriel (1,339), over the village of Skull, is very con- spicuous, as rising quite detached in the r^idr* of a great plain. COAST LINE.— The coast is broken up the whole way round, from Youghal to Kenmare, by numberless bays and inlets, and exhibits every variety of configuration — tall cliflfs, broken rocks, rugged promontories, and sandy beaches. HEADLA.NDS.— Knockadoon Head is the turning point of the coast south of Youghal: Power Head, and Robert's Head, at either side of Cork Harbor: the Old Head of Kinsale, to the west of Kinsale Harbor, is a long peninsula, with its narrow isthmus in one place pierced across quite through by a sea cave: the Seven Heads and Galley Head, east and west of Clona- kilty Bay : Toe Head, west of Castlehaven. Cape Clear is the southern point of Cape Clear Island : Mizen Head is the most southerlj' point of the mainland of Ireland. Muntervary or Sheep CORK. Head is the extreme point of the long peninsula between the bays of Bantry and Dunmanus: Dursey Head, the western end of Dursey Island, and near it is Crow Head on the Mainland. Cod's Head and Kilcatherine Point stand at both sides of Coulagh Bay, in the Kenmare estuary. ISLANDS. — Beginning at the west: Dur- sey Island stands at the extreme end of the Peninsula of Bear, 4 miles long, hilly and full of rocks. In Bantry Bay are Bear Island, opposite Castletown Bearhaven, 6 miles in length, high and rocky; and at the head of the bay near Bantry, "Whiddy Island, which is low and fertile. Cape Clear Island at the extreme south (3 miles long; area, 2| square miles), ro^ky and with pre- cipitous shores, is now a telegraph station, where the first news is heard of ships homebound from America. Sherkin Island, between Cape Clear Island and the mainland, is nearly the same size as Cape Clear Island. Numerous small islands lie near, such as Kingarogy, Hare Island, Horse Island, etc. In Cork Harbor are Great Island, Little Island, and Foaty, all beautifully diversi- fied; Haulbowline, a military depot; and Spike Island, a well known convict station. BAYS AND HARBOES.— Youghal Harbor, at the mouth of the Blackwater, lies between Cork and Waterford : next to which is Ballj'- cottin Bay. Cork Harbor, the opening of the River Lee, with a narrow entrance, is one of the finest and safest harbors in the empire. Kinsale Harbor is at the mouth of the Bandon River: Courtmacsherr3' Bay, at the mouth of the Arigi- deen River : the sandy Bay of Clonakilty comes next: Rosscarbery Bay lies west of Galley Head. Glandore Harbor and Castlehaven lie near each other, and are both noted for the beauty of their coast scenery : Baltimore Bay and Roaring Water Bay are both near Cape Clear. On the western side of the county are the two great inlets, Dun- manus Bay and Bantry Bay, the latter about 30 miles long, with an average width of about 4 miles; o£E Bantry Bay are Bearhaven, sheltered by Bear Island; and Glengarrifif Harbor, cele- brated for its splendid scenery. Kenmare Bay belongs for the most part to Kerry, off which, on the Cork coast, are Ballydonegan Bay, Coulagh Bay, and Ardgroom Harbor, which lies partly in Cork and partly in Kerry. RIVERS.— By far the greatest part of this county is drained by the three main rivers, the Blackwater, the Lee, and the Bandon, and their tributaries; they run nearly parallel, their gen- eral direction being east; and all three bend south toward the mouth. The Blackwater rises in Kerry, half a mile from the boundary with Cork, on the side of Knocka- nefune Hill, 4 miles northwest from the village of Kingwilliamstown. It first runs east to the boundary; then turning south, it forms the bound- ary between Cork and Kerry for 11 miles (not following the very small windings) ; then turn- ing east, it enters Cork, through which it flows from that turning point in a direction generally east, for about 54 miles, to Kilmurry, when it forms for 2 miles the boundary between Cork and Waterford. Entering Waterford, it continues its eastern course as far as Cappoquin, whence it turns abruptly south, and for the last three miles of its course, at Youghal, again forms the bound- ary between Cork and W^aterford. The scenery of the Blackwater is celebrated for its beauty; the finest part, however, belongs to the county Waterford. The chief tributaries of the Blackwater that belong to this county are : On the right or south- ern bank : the Bride, which flows east, parallel to the main stream, and entering the county Water- ford, joins the Blackwater below Cappoquin the Tourig, which joins about 1 mile above Youghal, and the Glen River, which flows from the slope of Mushera Mountain, and joins the main stream near the village of Banteer. On the left or northern bank: the Allow and the Dalua unite at Kanturk, and 2 miles further down flow into the Blackwater; the Awbeg (Spenser's Mulla) rises in the Ballyhoura hills, and flows by Buttevant and Doneraile into the Blackwater near Castle- townroche ; and the Eunshion and the Araglin, both of which join near Kilworth. The Lee rises in the romantic lake of Gougane Barra, and flowing eastward for four miles, it expands into the long winding lake of Incha- geela or Lough Allua: it continues its eastern course through a long and beautiful valley, with a continued succession of demesnes and villas and many old castle ruins on both sides, till it expands into the broad Lough Mahon below Cork, when it turns south and enters the sea between two bold headlands. I CORK. Tributaries of the Lee : Ou the left bank: the SuUane and the Laney, which unite at Macroom, and join the Lee a little lower down; the Martm Kiver, flowing through Blarney, into which flows the Blarney Eiver, after which the united stream joins the Shournagh, which, a little lower down, falls into the Lee: the Glashaboy, flowing through the pretty glen and village of Glanmire, a little below Cork; and still lower down the Owennacurra, flowing by Middleton. The only affluent of any consequence on the right bank is the Bride, which joins the Lee 7 miles above Cork. The Bandon rises on the side of Owen Hill, 5 miles west of Dunmauway, and flowing by Dun- manway, Bandon, and Innishannon, enters the sea at Kinsale. It receives as tributaries the Caha Kiver, which rises in Shehy Mountain, and joins a little above Dunmanway: the Blackwater, joining 6 or 7 miles lower down : and the Brinny, joining near Innishannon; these three are all on the left bank of the Bandon. On the extreme southern coast, the Arigideeu flows into Courtmac^herryBay; and the lieu, by Skibbereen into Baltimore Bay. The Coomhola, the Owvane, and the Mealagh flow into Bantry Bay near Bantry. The Owvane, rising in the glens of the two mountains Shehy and Douce, flows through a fine valley traversed by the road from Bantry to Macroom, at the head of which is the Pass of Keimaneigh ; and the Mealagh, entering Bantry Bay at the historic shore of Dunnamark, falls over a ledge of rock into the sea, ending its course in a fine cascade. The four Mile Water flows into the head of Dunmanus Bay, at Carrigboy. LAKES.— Small and unimportant: the only lakes of any consequence lie on the course of the Lee. This river rises in Gougane Barra Lake, a small body of water, completely sur- rounded by abrupt mountains and precipices, except on the east side where the Lee issues from it. There is a little island in the lake containing the ruins of a primitive religious establishment, founded in the Gth century by St. Finbar, who afterward founded Cork. Four miles lower down the river expands into the long, winding, beauti- ful Lough Allua, or Lake of Inchigeela. In the mountains over Bantry, Glengarriff, and Bear Island, there are hundreds of small lakes. TOWNS.— Cork (80,124), i^^ cii.ol trading and commercial city of the southern half of Ire- land, was originally built on an island inclosed bv two branches of the Lee; but in later times it has been extended far beyond on both sides of the river. The city has a most picturesque ap- pearance, as many of the streets and public build- ings are built on the slopes or crown the summits of the )iti - nills over the Lee. The environs are ve.> beautiful, especially down the river, whose steep banks are studded with villas. Below Cork are a number of towns and villages, all prettily situated on the mainland and island shores of the harbor. Queenstown (9,755), the chief of all, a flourishing town, is built on the sloping shore of Great Island, with the streets rising in tiers from the water's edge. Proceed- ing down the river from Cork, the first town is Balliutemple (1,166), on the right hand; next is Blackrock (707), with its castle on a rock jutting into the harbor; on the left is Glanmire. at the opening of a pretty glen. Passage West (2,440) lies on the right shore of the narrow channel between Great Island and the mainland; and Monkstown (381), 2 miles lower down, is on the same shore. On the Lee, 4 miles above Cork, is BallincoUig (1,130), where there is a military depot and large powder mills. The following are on tributaries of the Lee: Macroom (3,099), on the pretty river Sullane, near where it runs into the Lee, with I its fine old Anglo-Norman castle. On the Martin Eiver, 5 miles from Cork, is the lovely little vil- lage of Blarney, well-known for its flourishing tweed factory, and for its fine old castle ruin, the ancient residence of the Mac Carthys. Near where the Owennacurra flows into Cork Harbor stands Middleton (3,358), midway between Cork and Youghal. Lower down is Cloyne (1,126), a little east of Cork Harbor, a very ancient ecclesi- astical town, with an old cathedral and a round tower. A number of towns and villages stand on the banks of the Blackwater. Beginning at the mouth: Youghal (5,396), an ancient town, abounding in military and ecclesiastical ruins. Sir Walter Raleigh lived in Youghal, and his house stands there still. Passing by Cappoqum and Lismore, both in Waterford, we come to Fermoy (6,454), with large military bai-racks; CORK. and Mallow (4,439j, in a beautiful situation in the midst of a most picturesque country, -which is covered all over with demesnes and villas. The following towns are on tributaries of the Blackwater: Kanturk (1,859), at the confluence of the two rivers Allow and Dalua, 2 miles from the Blackwater; 4 miles higher up on the Dalua is Newmarket (885). Millstreet (1,476), on the little river Finow, stands at the head of a fine valley, 2 miles from the Blackwater. On the Awbeg are Buttevant (1,409), and Doneraile (1,208), both beautifully situated, with Spenser's residence, Kilcolman Castle, in their immediate neighborhood; and Castletownroche (820), near the junction of the Awbeg with the Blackwater. On the Funshion are : Mitchelstown (2,467), near the base of the Galty Mountains, with Mitchels- town demesne and castle beside it, the finest modern baronial residence in Ireland ; Glanworth (577), with abbey and castle ruins; and Kil- worth (598) near the junction with the Black- water, with its beautiful demesne, containing the ruins of Cloghlea Castle. The towns on the Bandon Eiver are : Kinsale (5,386), at the mouth, built at the base and up the side of the hill that rises over the harbor- — ^an important fishing station; Bandon (3,997); and Dunmanway (2,049), in the midst of rocky hills. The towns on the coast not yet enumerated are, beginning on the west: Castletown Bear- haven (1,028), opposite Bear Island, the only town of any consequence in the extreme western part of the county ; within a mile of whidh, on a little creek, are the ruins of the O'Sullivan's castle of Dunboy; Ban try (2,632), finely situ- ated at the head of Bantry Bay, and overtopped by beautiful hills; Skibbereen (3,631), in the extreme south, at the mouth of the lieu Eiver; Kosscarberry (693), one the great ancient eccle- siastical centers; and Clonakilty (3,676), at the head of Clonakilty Bay. The only town of any consequence not con- nected with an important river or near the sea, is Charleville (2,266), a good trading town, on the northern boundary, near the base of the Balb'- houra Mountains. MINERALS.— In the barony of Duhallow there is an extensive coal field, which is worked at Dromagh, 3 miles southwest of Kanturk. Copper ore is found in various places, the chief mines being those of Allihies near Castletown Bearhaven, and the Cappagh mine on the west coast of Eoaring "Water Bay, near Skibbereen. ANCIENT DIVISIONS AND DESIGNA- TIONS. — -The present county nearly coincides with the ancient sub-kingdom of Desmond, or South Munster. Corca-Laighdhe (pronounced Corkalee), the old territory of the O'DriscoUs, originally com- prised all the southwestern district from Court- macsherry Bay west to Bantry Bay, but subse- quently it became much more restricted. The peninsula between Eoaring Water Bay and Dunmanus Bay was the ancient Ivahagh, the territory of the O'Mahoneys. Off the point of Dursey Island are three soli- tary sea rocks, now called in English the Bull, the Cow, and the Calf : they are celebrated in legendary history as the place where Donn, one of ^ne Milesian brothers, perished in a storm, w'.ch the crew of his ship: whence they were o-alled Tigh-Dhuinn (pronounced Tee-Yine), which name is still well known among the Gaelic- speaking people. Several of the old territories are still repre- sented in name and position by the present baronies. Thus the old district of Beanntraighe is the present barony of Bantry : Cairbre, now the baronies of Carbury : Muscraighe, the baron- ies of Muskerry : Duthaighe-Ealla, the barony of Duhallow: Feara-Muighe, the barony of Fermoy, called in later ages the Eoches' Country. CORK. ILLXJSTRA.TIOIsrS, CEMETERY OF THE CHRISTIAN BROTHERS, AND GRAVE OF GERALD GRIFFIN.— The cemetery of the Christiau Brothers of the North Cork Mouastery, Fair Hill, will be always a place of pilgrimage to the lover of literature who may chance to visit the vicinity. There, amid a number of graves bear- ing on modest headstones the names of the saintly dead, lie the remains of Gerald Griffin, one of the most eminent writers and purest char- acters which his country possesses. His name in religion — Brother Joseph — is graven on the stone beneath which repose the ashes of the author of "The Collegians. " As poet and novel- ist, he will always hold a front place in Irish literature. Having after many vicissitudes and sufferings achieved fame and the reward it brings, he renounced the world, and became an humble teacher as a member of the Christian Brotherhood of Cork. He died in 1840, aged 38 years. CLOYNE ABBEY. — The little town of Cloyne is situated on the east side of Cork harbor, about three miles from the shore. The bishopric of Cloyne was founded by St. Colman in the sixth century. The cathedral which also dates from a very ancient period is a low cruciform structure, but has been so fre- quently reiiaired and patched that it is wholly devoid of architectural beauty. Close to the cathedral is a round tower, one of the most curi- ous and ancient in Ireland. Originally it was 92 feet in height, bat on the night of Januarj' 10, 1794, it Avaa struck by lightning, and its conical top and three of its lofts with the bell was destroyed. An embattlement was subsequently built around the summit, making its present height 102 feet. The ancient name of the town was Clnaine-uamhach, meaning "retreat of the caves," from the number of caves in the lime- stone rock in the vicinity. SHANDON CHURCH.— The Church of St. Anne, Shandon, standing on an eminence on the north side of Cork City, though unpreten- tious, and in fact somewhat bizarre, has acquired a jirominence second to no church or cathedral in Ireland. This it owes to the genius of Father Prout (Rev. Francis O'Mahoney), who immor- talized it in his inimitable lyric of "The Bells of Shandon." The church has no style of archi- tecture, and has a curiously disproportionate steeple, or rather tower, which has caused the structure to be aptly likened to a pepper caster. It was built in 1722, and two of its sides are of hewn limestone, and the other two of red sand- stone — the one taken from the old Franciscan Abbej', and the other from the ruins of Lord Barry's Castle. The church possesses a chime of sweet-toned bells, however, and the memories of their music followed the genial Father Prout through life, and every Corkonian repeats with him : "On this I ponder Where'er I wander, And thus grow fonder, Sweet Cork, of thee. "With thy bells of Shandon, That sound so grand on The pleasant waters Of the river Lee." BLARNEY CASTLE.— There is, perhaps, no ruin in Ireland that has acquired such world- wide celebrity as Blarney Castle from the legend ascribing to it the power of endowing any one who kisses a certain stone of the structure with an irresistible faculty of persuasion, and which Milikin, Father Prout and others have popular- ized. Milikin's "Groves of Blarney" was written in ridicule of the high-sounding, nonsensical verses of some of the village poets of his time. Blarney Castle stands in the village of that name, and is about six miles from Cork. It was built by Cormac MacCarthy "The Strong," a.d. 1449, and was the stronghold of the chieftains of that sept. All that remains now is the donjon keep, 120 feet in height; and the walls, 18 feet in thickness, add to its great strength. The inner courtyard was 8 acres in extent. The castle sustained may sieges and attacks in the Anglo-Irish wars. The process of kissing the Blarney stone is a somewhat perilous venture, and few tourists care to risk it. GLENGARRIFF CASTLE.— This castle de- rives its chief interest from its location, the famous Glengarriff, which has always been the delight and the despair of tourists. Its natural FRANCIS S. MAHONY (Father Prout) CORK. beauties are so many and varying that descrip- tion fails to give an adequate idea of it. It :nucjt be seen to be appreciated. One En?jlish tourist avers that all the concentrated beauties of the region of Killarney could not equal it, though, Glengarriff — "the Craggy Glen" — is but three miles long and a quarter of a mile in breadth. "What," writes Thackeray, "sends picturesque tourists to the Rhine and Saxon Switzerland? Within five miles around the pretty inn of Glen- garriff there is a country, the magnificence of which no pen can give an idea. I would like to be a great prince, and bring a train of painters over to make, if they could, and according to their several capabilities, ^ set of pictures of the place." The castle is at present the residence of the Earls of Ban try. THE MALL. — This fine thoroughfare runs at right angles to the Grand Parade, and is the street where the chief pi'ofessional men and merchants of the city do business. The city was originally built on an island, and the South Mall at pi'esent occupies the site of one of the intercepting branches of the river, which a cen- tury ago formed by its southern side a tri- angular island, the other sides being Charlotte Quay and Morrison Quay. The city of Cork, the southern metropolis of Ireland, and admi- rably situated for trade and commerce, contains not only many beautiful streets and buildings, but, in the language of a tourist, presents such an attractive prospect as to equal that of the Bos- phorus. It is also noted for the intellectual char- acter of its people, and its many excellent educa- tional and public institutions. It has also long been the chief emigration port from Ireland. PATRICK'S BRIDGE.— Cork is the third city of Ireland in population and importance, and from its situation might be one of the first cities of Europe were Ireland's commercial po::sibilities developed under a native govern- ment. It is built on what was once marshy islands, whence its name, "Corcagh," signifying a marsh, or land overflowed by the tide. The city is of great antiquity, and has been the scene of many stirring events. The site of the ancient city is an island, which divides the river Lee into two channels, which after passing round unite below it. Several bridges connect the island with the mainland on either side, the most modern of which is presented in the present illustration. St. Finn Bar, who died at Cloyne, A.D. 617, built a monastery and cathedral here and thus laid the foundation of the future city. He was the first bishop of Cork. FERMOY SQUARE.— The pretty town of Fermoy is situated on the beautiful Blackwater, about twenty miles to the southeast of Cork, A century ago it was a poor and insignificant village. John Anderson, having large barrack and mail-coach contracts with the government, gave an impetus of prosperity to the place, and the town has since retained its success. Its proximity to the harbor of Queenstown, and its being the seat of a military barracks of some 3,000 of a garrison give the town a considerable trade. A stone bridge consist- ing of thirteen arches spans the river at this point, and though built in 1689, it is still as solid as ever. The ancient Gaelic name, Feara- muighe-Feine, signifying "Men of the Plain," has been anglicized to Fermoy. The town is clean and tastily laid out, the square being one of the most attractive spote to be desired. SHANDON CHURCH, CORK. DONEGAL. NAME. — The town of Donegal was so called from an old dun or fortress, whicli got the name of Dun- nan-Gall, the fortress of the Galls or foreigners — these foreigners being Danes, who settled there at an early period. County named from the town. SIZE AND POPULATION.— Length from Inishowen Head to Malinmore Head, 84 miles; breadth from Bloody Foreland to the boundary, a little south of Castelfinn, 41 miles; area, 1,870| square miles; population, 206,035. SURFACE. — Donegal is a region of moun- tains and long vallej's, and there is a large extent of bog and waste. The only moderately level land lies in the east half of the barony of Eaphoe, and in the south half of the barony of Tirhugh. MOUNTAINS AND HILLS.— In the north- west of the county the two ranges of the Derry- veagh Mountains and the Glendowan Mountains run parallel, from northeast to southwest, inclos- ing the splendid vallej' of Glen Beagh. The highest summit is Dooish (2,147), in the middle of the Derryveagh range, over Lough Beagh. To the west again of the Derryveagh range is a third irregular range, running in the same direc- tion; containing Errigal (2,466), the highest mountain in Donegal, rising over Dunlewy Lake; and northeast of this, Mukish (2,107), a great flat-topped mountain. Southeast of Gweebarra Bay, and northeast of Glcnties, is a fine mountain group, of which Aghla (1,961) forms the center. The barony of Banagh is traversed from end to end by a range which may be said to cover the whole i)eninj ila. In the east end is the short independent range of Croaghgorm or Bluestack (2,219); and in the west are Slieve League (1,972) rising sheer from the sea on the south coast, and Slieveatooey (1,515) over the sea in like manner on the north coast. This range continues to the northeast through the barony of Eaphoe toward Letterkenny, and contains Gaugin (1,865), Boultypatrick (1,415), and Cark (1,205). The peninsula of Inishowen is in great part mountainous, the culminating summit being Slieve Snaght (2,019) in the center. In the peninsula of Fanad, west of Lough Swilly, is the small but remarkable range of Elnockalla (1,203) ; and Lough Salt Mountain (1,546) rises conspicu- ously, west of the head of Mulroy Lough. COASTLINE.— The coast is broken the whole way round, presenting a grand succession of ba3's, promontories, cliffs, and islands. HEADLANDS. — Beginning at the northeast; Inishowen Head, the northeast extremity of Inishowen, and Malin Head, its northwest extremity; DunaflE Head and Fanad Head, at both sides of the mouth of Lough Swilly ; Horn Head, a lofty rock rising precipitously over the sea at the west side of Sheep Haven ; Bloody Foreland; Dawros Head, which is the end of the peninsula of Dawros, between the bays of Gwee- barra and Loughros More ; Malinmore Head, the most westerly point of Donegal. Carrigan Head, Muckros Head, St. John's Point, and Doorin Point all project south into Donegal Bay. Immediately west of Carrigan Head, Slieve League rises 1,972 feet steep from the sea; and the coast from Carrigan Head round by Glen- columkille to Loughros Bay exhibits the grand- est combinations of cliff scenery in Ireland. ISLANDS. —Tory Island lies 8 miles from the mainland; it is about 2^ miles long, and stands out of the sea so as to appear like a great collection of towers and pinnacles; it contains the ruins of an ancient ecclesiastical establish- ment (including a round tower) founded in the 7th century by St. Columba. Aran Island con- tains nearly 7 square miles, and rises 750 feet over the sea. North and south of Aran are numerous small islands, the chief of which are luishsirrei", Gola, Owej', Cruit, Rutland, Inish- free, and Roaninish. The island of Inch in Lough Swilly contains nearly 5 square miles, and has a summit (Inch Top) 732 feet high. The little island of Rathlin O'Byrne is near Malin- more Head. Between Ballyness Bay and Tory are the three small islands, Inishbofin, Inish- dooey, and Inishbeg. Northeast of Malin Head DONEGAL. is the small rocky island of InishtrahuU, the most northerly land belonging to Ireland. BAYS AND HARBORS.— The two deep bays, Lough Foyle and Lough Swilly, nearly in- sulate the barony of Inishowen; Trawbreaga Bay pierces far into Inishowen, south of Malin Head; Mulroy Bay is separated from Lough Swilly by the peninsula of Fanad ; Sheep Haven is separated from Mulroy Bay by the peninsula of Rosguill. Ballyness Bay is the usual embarking place for Tory Island. South of Bloody Fore- land are the bays of Gweedore and Inishfree ; and south of Aran Island are those of Trawenagh and Gweebarra. Separated from Gweebarra Bay by the peninsula of Dawros, are the two bays of Loughrosmore and Loughrosbeg. Glen Baj', overtopped by lofty precipices, opens out from the solitary Glencolumkille ; and at the other side of Malinmore Head is Malin Bay, Fintragh Bay, Mac Swyne's Bay, and Inver Bay, which are branches of Donegal Bay. RIVERS. — The Foyle separates Donegal from Londonderry. The Foyle is formed by two main streams, the Finn and the Mourne, which join at Lifford. The Finn, rising in Lough Finn, and flowing east, belongs wholly to Done- gal. The Deele joins the Foyle a mile north of Liflford. The Eask flows from Lough Eask by Donegal town into Donegal Bay ; and of the several small feeders that run into Lough Eask, one, the Lowerymore, is remarkable as traversing the magnificent Gap of Barnesmore. Beside the Eask, Donegal Bay receives from the north the Eany Water at Inver Bay, the Bunlackey near Dunkineely, and the Glen River into Teelin Bay. In the west of the county, the Owenea and the Owentocker flow into Loughrosmore Bay at Ardara; the Gweebarra into Gweebarra Bay, and the Gweedore into Gweedore Bay. Through Glenbeagh a stream floAvs northeast, which takes successively the names Owenbeagh, Owenarrow, and Lackagh, falling at last into Sheep Haven. The river Swilly, flows east by Letterkenney into the head of Lough Swilly ; and into the same bay flows the Lean nan. Into Donegal Bay, in the extreme south, flow the Erne, having a fine fall at Ballyshaunon ; and the Bradoge at Bundoran. The little river Termon enters the north end of Lough Erne. LAKES. — Donegal is noted for its fine moun« tain lakes with splendid scenery. Lough Erne lies on the south boundary. Eight miles east of Donegal town, and 4 miles north of Pet- tigo, is Lough Derg, over 3 square miles in extent, and containing St. Patrick's Purgatory, which has beer for many ages a celebrated place of pilgrimage. Lough Eask lies 3 miles north- east of Donegal. In the north. Lough Beagh, one of the finest mountain lakes in Ireland, occu- pies the bottom of Glen Beagh ; and lower down, at the mouth of the valley, near the head of Sheep Haven, is Glenlough. Dunlewy Lake and Lough Nacung lie at the very base of Errigal Mountain; ' and under the opposite base is Lough Altan. East from Gweebarra Bay in the beautiful Lough Finn at the base of Aghla; and near it are the small Lough Muck and Lough Barra. TOWNS. — Beginning in the southwest and going round the margin : Ballyshannon (2,840) stands at the mouth of the river Erne, near where it forms a fine cascade over a ledge of rocks, the old cataract of Assaroe : there is a salmon fishery ; and the town is celebrated in legend and romance. Four miles southwest of Ballyshannon, on the shore of Donegal Bay, is ' Bundoran (703), a favorite watering place. Donegal (1,416) is in a beautiful situation at the mouth of the river Eask, at the head of an inlet from Donegal Baj% surrounded by hills; just beside it stands the fine old ruins of Donegal Castle, and also the ruins of a monastery. West- ward from this is Killybegs (764), on the north shore of Donegal Bay — the capital of the penin- sula — where a good deal of fishing is carried on. On the north side of the peninsula is Ardara (552) ; six miles northeast of this is Glenties (487). Passing Dunglow (468) we come to Dun- fanaghy (598), near Horn Head, the chief town of all this remote district. Rathmelton (1,406) stands just where the river Leanuan falls into Lough Swilly. Letterkenny (2,188) is on the river Swilly, near its mouth ; and on the east shore of Lough Swilly is Buncrana (764), a watering place. Moville (1,129) stands on the east shore of Inishowen ; and in the interior is Carndonagh (726), the capital of the peninsula, Lifford 511, the assize town, on the Foyle, may be regarded aa a part of Strabane, on the Derry side of the River; and the circuit ends at the DONEGAL. pretty village of Pettigo (468), near Lough Erne. The towns in the interior are Eaphoe (986), west of Lifford, an ancient episcopal see ; and Ballybofey (1,009) and Stranorlar (420), near each other on the river Finn. MINEKALS. — Very fine white marble is found at Dunlewy, at the base of Errigal Mountain. Near Kaphoe there is a formation of steatite, a soft kind of stone, easily carved and very durable. ANCIENT DIVISIONS AND DESIGNA- TIONS. — Donegal was the ancient Tirconnell, inhabited by the Kinel Connell, who were de- scended from Couall, son of the great king Niall of the Nine Hostages (a.d. 378-405), and who possessed nearly the whole of Donegal : their inauguration place was the Kock of Doon, near Kilmacrenan. Four miles northwest of Derrj', on a hill, is Greenan-Ely, the ruins of Aileach, the ancient palace of the O'Neills, the kings of Ulster, who were also for many ages the kings of Ireland. ILLUSTRATIONS. DONEGAL CASTLE.— The town of Donegal IS beautifully situated on a bay of the same name, and does a thriving trade. To the tourist, the great object of attraction is its splen- did old castle, the ancient seat of the O'Donneiis, lords of Tirconnell. The ruin, compared with others in the island, is in a tolerably good state of preservation, and from what remains it must have been a noble mansion, and worthy of the rank of these once powerful chieftains. Two magnificent sculptured chimueypieces, in the style of James I., still remain in a very perfect state. The grand hall on the ground floor, is arched, from which several smaller apartments open ; and upstairs the grand banqueting hall was lit by several Gothic windows, which look out upon the bay; and at one end are the re- mains of a great bay window the entire height of the chamber, which bespeaks its ancient mag- nificence. This ruin derives a melancholy inter- est from the affecting history of the life and adventures of Eed Hugh, the last of the powerful line of the princes of Tirconnell and lords of Donegal. DERRYBEG CHAIEL, GWEEDORE.— The structure herewith shown cannot be said to have any special claim on the tourist's attention as an ecclesiastical edifice. It is neither im- posing nor pretentious, but like pastor and people is "racy of the soil," and tj'pical of Irish faith, and unflinching devotion to father- land. Its pastor, whose portrait is presented in the foreground, came into prominence during the Land League agitation, for his attitude and labors in behalf of his people, especially during the famine of 1879 and 1880, in that locality. The parish is situated in a bleak corner of the northwest Donegal coast, and is somewhat barren, and under the old rack-renting system suffered severely. During the famine and agita- tion mentioned. Father McFadden, by his ap- peals for charity, saved many of his people from death by starvation, and kept them in line in support of the national cause. Police Inspector Martin, who attempted to arrest him during holy mass, with the malicious design of outraging the religious feelings of the congregation, was killed by the infuriated people. Father McFadden was arrested, but could not be held amenable for the result, though he suffered much persecution at the hands of his enemies. MOVILLE.— This delightful spot is one of the most attractive places in Ireland. There the pleasure steamers ply constantly in summer, discharging their hosts of citizens seeking the invigorating air of sea and mountain. The town is handsome and well laid out, and is much visited as a watering place, and by persons attracted by the wild and interesting scenery of the locality. The Squire's Cam is not quite thi'ee miles to the west, from which a noble view may be obtained; and a still better from the mountain of Craignamaddey, equidis- tant to the north, which not only embraces a beautiful panoramic view of the lough and of the Derry Mountains, but a lengthened prospect of the causeway cliffs. Every spot in the vicin- ity has some tradition, and every mile a legend. The territory was originally the stronghold of I the Kinel Owen, and later of the O'Dohertys. DONEGAL. ±JLIND0EAN. — A few miles distant from the town of Ballj'shannon is the predty village of Bundoran, near the mouth of the harbor. It is, says Mr. S. C. Hall, much frequented by sea-bathers, and is exceedingly healthy; the wide ocean immediately facing it, and a line of mountains inclosing it from harsh winds. It is the most attractive summer resort in the whole northwest of Ireland. The scenery of the locality is peculiar, the action of the sea having wrought the seacoast, as in other portions of the northern tempest-beaten coast, into strange forms. One of these, called the Fairy Bridge, is composed of an arch 24 feet in span, "with a perfectly formed and detached causeway 12 feet in breadth." All around the Donegal coast the cliffs and headlands are magnifi- cently striking, where here and there as in the case of Bundoran, a quiet, pretty village is nestled on some sheltered bay or river. BALLYSHANNON.— This pretty town ia situated on the southeast corner of Donegal Bay. It presents an attractive appearance from the steep hill on which it is built, and its two parts on both sides of the Erne are connected by a splendid bridge of 16 arches. The name in Celtic, Bel-atha-Seanaigh, signifies "the Mouth of Shanagh's Ford." There is a fine waterfall nearly 20 feet high and 150 yards wide extending the entire breadth of the river a few hundred j-ards below the bridge. There is Avhat is known as the famous "Salmon Leap. " The basin into which the torrent falls is literally alive with these fish, and curious as it may seem the salmon are able to spring up the falls, ana make their way up the river to the placid lake. The town possesses the remains of an ancient castle, which was the scene of a defeat of the English forces under Sir Conyers Clifford, in 1597. DOWN. NAlilE. — Dovrnpatrick took its name from the ley (1,069) lie further west: and at the southwest great dun or fort near the cathedral, which was end is Deehommed (1,050). called Dun-Keltair, the fort of the hero, Keltar. COAST LI^sE.— Except by the deep inlet of The name of Patrick was added to commemorate Strangford Lougb, the coast is not much broken, the saint's connection with the place. For the greater part it is rocky, scarped, and SIZE AND POPULATION. — Length, from dangerous, having few prominent headlands, and Cranfield Point at the mouth of Carlingford few bays or harbors of shelter.

ISLANDS. — There is quite a little archipelago MOUNTAINS AND HILLS.— The Mourne of islets in Strangford Lough, the chief of which Mountains extend for about 15 miles in length are: Mabee Island, the ancient Nendrum, on from Carlingford Lough to Newcastle ; they form which Bishop Mahee, a contemporary of St. one of the finest ranges in Ireland, and as tbe.v Patrick, established a monastery and school, and rise direct from the sea they are seen in their full which still retains some ruins of the old build- height, ings, including the remains of a round tower: The chief summits are the following: Slieve Beagh Island, north of Mahee: Castle Island, Donard (2,796), at the northeast extremitj', the south of it; and Chapel Island, near Grey Abbey, highest mountain in Ulster, whose summit is at the other side of the Lough. The little group only 2 miles from the seashore at Newcastle, of the Copeland Islands lies outside Donaghadee, Slieve Commedagh (2,512) lies 1 mile north- of which two are inhabited, and one contains a west of Slieve Donard: Slieve Bearnagh (2,394) lighthouse: Gun Island is a little to the north of and Slieve Meel (2,237), are about 2 miles west Ardglass : Green Island lies at the entrance of of Slieve Commedagh.

Carlingford Lough of the Lagan: Cratlieve (1,416) and Slievenabo- separates Down from Louth. RIVERS. — Except the Bann and the Lagan, which drain the west of the county, all the rivers of Down are small. The Bann, rising in the Mourne Mountains, flows through Down till it enters the county Armagh, 2 miles below Gilford. The Lagan rises in Slieve Croob, runs through Down to near Moira, and forms the boundary between Down and Antrim for the rest of its course. The Ravernet, a considerable affluent from the south coast, joins the Lagan a mile above Lisburn. The Blackwater runs into the west side of Strangford Lough at Ardmillan. The Ballynahiuch River, flowing east through Bally- nahinch, and the Carson's Dam River, flowing south through Crossgar, join at Kilmore, and the united stream is called the Annacloy River, and lower down the Quoile River, falling into the southwest angle of Strangford Lough, near Downpatrick. The Ballybannon River flows from Slieve Croob into Dundrum Bay at Murlough House, near Dundrum; theBurren River and the Shimna River run into Dundrum Bay at New- castle. In the south of the county, theAnnalong River flowing into the sea at Annalong, the Kil- keel River at Kilkeel, the White Water falling into Carlingford Lough near Greencastle, and the Kilbroney River at Rosstrevor, all flow down the slopes of the Mourne Mountains. The Newry River or Glenree River, rising near Ruthfriland, and passing by Newry, flows into Strangford Lough at Warren Point : from Newry down to its mouth it is called the Narrow Water. LAKES. — Down touches Lough Neagh hy a long neck west of Moira. All the other lakes of the county are small and unimportant. The little Loughbrickland Lake, in the west, gives name to the town of Loughbrickland. Halfway between Ballynahiuch and Dromore is Lough Aghery, and near it on the northeast is Lough Erne : nearer to Saintfield are Long Lough and Creevy Lough. Lough Money and Loughinisland Lake lie near Downpatrick. Beside Castlewellan is Castle- wellan Lake, and 3 miles southwest from the vil- lage is Lough Island Reavy. TOWNS.— Newry (14,808, of which 5,657 are in that part of the town belonging to Armagh), a town of considerable trade and manufacture. Proceeding round the coast from Newry : Warren Point (1,887) stands at the mouth of the Narrow Water: and 3 miles east of this is Rosstrevor (706), one of the most beautiful spots in Ireland. Kilkeel (1,452) is near the extreme south end of the county: Newcastle (840), at the base of Slieve Donard, is much frequented as a watering place; and a little further north, on the inner Dundrum Bay, is the village of Dundrum, with the fine old ruin of John De Courcey's castle near it. Kil- lough (748) and Ardglass (691) stand near each other, the latter having a fine old castle ruin. Entering Strangford Lough, we pass in the strait, first on the left hand, the pretty village of Strangford (434), and a little further in, at the opposite side, the prosperous town of Portaferry (1,647). On the western shore of the Lough is Killyleagh (1,835), and the well-to-do town of Comber (2,165) at the head of a little creek: and at the head of the lough, half a mile from the shore, is Newtownards (8,676), a business-like and prosperous town (muslin weaving). Return- ing southward along the eastern shore of the lough, we pass first Grey Abbey (679), with its fine abbey ruins; and 3 miles further south, Kir- cubbin (609). Near Grey Abbey, on the ocean side of Island Magee, is Ballywalter (595). Donaghadee (1,861), on the northeast corner, is the packet station, and the nearest port to Scotland ; 5 miles west of this is Bangor (3,006), which was in former days one of the most celebrated religious establishments in Ireland. Lastly, on the shore of Belfast Lough, is the important little town of Holywood (3,293). The following are inland : Downpatrick (3,419), the assize town, the burial place of St. Patrick. Banbridge (5,609), on the Upper Bann, a good business town (linen weaving) ; and 4 miles lower down on the same river, Gilford (1,324), with flax and linen industries like Ban- bridge. On the Lagan are Dromore (2,491), and lower down Moira (461). Rathfriland (1,572) lies to the northeast of Newry : Ballynahinch (1,470) is in the center of the county: and 3 miles northeast of it is the neat town of Saintfield (769). Hillsborough (797) is 4 miles south of Lisburn : and Castlewellan (892) lies 4 miles west of Dundrum. That part of Belfast named Ballymacarret belongs to Down, and contains a population of 23,917: and a portion of Lisburn, containing a population of 2,446, also belongs to this county. DOWN. ANCIENT DIVISIONS AND DESIGNA- TIONS. — This county formed a part of the an- cient territory of Dalaradia. Urper or South Clannaboy occupied the district now included in the two baronies of Upper and Lower Castlereagh. The old name of the Mourne Mountains was Beanna-Boirche (pron. Banna-Borka). The Dane's Cast in the west, a little to the south of Gilford, is a part of the ancient rampart dividing the two kingdoms of Oriel and Uiidia. DOWNPATKICK CATHEDEAL.— This cathe- dral is built on the site of a cathedral, one of the most ancient edifices in Ireland, which was de- stroyed by the Danes, and in which, it is said, the remains of St. Patrick, St. Bridget and St. Columbkill were buried. It was erected by Ma- lachy O'Morgair, Bishop of Down, in 1140, and was burned during the war of Edward Bruce, was restored in 1412, again burned by Lord Deputy De Grey in 1538. In 1790 the present structure was erected on its ruins. A handsome east window divided by mullions into twelve compartments, in the choir, appears to be the only window remaining of the splendid edifice erected in 1412, and destroyed by De Grey. The present structure comprises a nave, choir and aisles, with a lofty square tower at the left end, embattled and pinnacled, giving the cathedral, which stands on a hill, a massive and imposing appearance. The interior is richly ornamented. From 1538 to 1790 the church at Lisburn served as a cathedral. GEEY ABBEY.— This once famed edifice, the ruins of which now alone remain, was built in the year 1193 by Africa, wife of the Norman Knight, John De Courcy, and daughter of God- fred, king of the Isle of Man, for a community of Cistercian monks. The extent and character of the remains give evidence of its former splendor, the stately windows of Gothic structure show- ing a beauty of design and richness of art, though now overgrown with ivy, and crumbling in de- cay. The cells, dormitories and other buildings for the uses of the former inmates are wholly in ruins, only enough remaining to trace the com- pass of ground occupied bj' the entire structure. The vicinity of the ruins is highly picturesque, and is much frequented by visitors. The Abbey was destroyed during the great rebellion of 1641, and was partly restored by the first Lord Mont- gomery in 1685, into whose hands it had fallen. THE QUAY, BANGOE.— Bangor, said to be derived from Bane-Choraidh, the White Choir, was famous as a seat of learning, and a "city of the saints" in olden times. St. Comhgall founded an abbej' there in 552, the fragments of which still exist, and laid the foundation of the great school to which students from all parts of Europe resorted, and whose fame became world wide. Its seminary, directed by St. Carthagus, is declared to be the germ from which Oxford arose. King Alfred having obtained his professors from Bangor when he founded or restored that university. In 818, the ruthless Northmen de- scended on the establishment and slew more than 900 of the 3,000 monks that resided there. Bangor was within the dominion of the O'Neills, and the remains of a castle, still in good con- dition, stands on the Quay. Bangor is to-day a favorite watering place, and contains in summer a large villa population from the neighboring city of Belfast. DUBLIN. NAME. — The city, which gave name to the county, got its own name from the river. The Liflfey, near where the old city stood, formed a pool which was called Dubh-linn, meaning "black pool" (dubh, black; linn, a pool); and the name is applicable to the river at this day. The more ancient name was Ath-cliath (pronounced Ah- clee), the ford of hurdles, from the old hurdle bridge by which the Liffey was originally crossed (ath, a ford; cliath, a hurdle). SIZE AND POPULATION.— Length, from the summit of Kippure Mountain, south of Dub- lin city, to the river Delvin, near Balbriggan, 32 miles; breadth, from Howth Head to Clonee, near Lucan, 16| miles ; area, 354| square miles. Population, 418,910. SUKFACE. — On the south this county is Bkirted by mountains; the rest of the county is level, or intersi^ersed with low elevations, all in grass or in cultivation. MOUNTAINS AND HILLS. —Kippure (2,473) stands 12 miles nearly due south of the city, and belongs partly to Wicklow, the boundary line passing over its summit. Two miles northwest from this is Seefingan (2,364), also on the boundary. Th?se two mountains tower over the head of Glennasmole, on the west side of which, 4 miles further north, is Knockannavea (1,289), and 2 miles west of this are Saggart Hill (1,308) and Knockandinny (1,025), over the village of Saggart. Six or seven miles south of Dublin are a number of hills, forming a beautiful screen, visible from almost every part of the city, the chief of which are Killakee Mountain (1,761), Glendoo Mountain (1,929), and Prince William's Seat (1,825), all three on the boundary line with "Wicklow; Tibradden (1,540) and Kilmashogue Mountain (1,339) project forward toward Dub- lin. The Two Kock Mountain (1,699) and the Three Rock Mountain (1,479) slope down to- ward the east directly to Kingstown. The beau- tiful hills of Dalkey and Killiney (474) rising directl> GT6r the sea, form the terminating spur of the Jinge. From the summits of all these hills there is a magnificent view of the great plain of Dublin, with the Mourne Mountains in the distance to the north. They are pierced by several ravines, of which the most striking are the Slade of Saggart, through which is carried the road from Dublin to Blessington ; the Gap of Ballinascorney, lead- ing west from Glenasmole; Glendoo or Glen- cullen, between Tibradden Mountain and Glendoo Mountain ; and the Scalp, an extraordinary gorge cut right through the hill on the road from Dub- lin to Enniskerry. — ~ -ea. C COAST LINE.— The coast is considerably broken by inlets. The greater part is sandy, but there are in several places low cliffs of limestone ; and at Howth and Dalkey the shore is precip- itous. In some parts the strand is very beauti- ful, for instance at Balbriggan; and the "Velvet Strand" between Malahide and Howth is one of the finest strands in Ireland. HEADLANDS.— The two rocky peninsulas of Bush and Portraine lie at the opposite sides of the inlet of Turvey. The promontory of Howth rises to the height of 560 feet, and presents a suc- cession of splendid sea cliffs nearly the whole way round; and at Dalkey and Killiney is another series of fine cliffs terminating in Sor- rento Point, opposite Dalkey Island. Howth, Dalkej' and Killiney are noted for their fine views both seaward and landward. ISLANDS. — The Skerries group, off the town of Skerries, consists of St. Patrick's Island, on which is a very ancient church dedicated to St. Patrick; Shenick's Island; and Colt's Island. About 4 miles from the coast at Skerries is the Eockabill rock, on which is a lighthouse. Lam- bay Island, 2| miles from Bush, is 418 feet high, and presents rocky cliffs to the sea nearly the whole way round; it contains 596 acres, much of which is pasture land. The rocky, picturesque little island of Ireland's Eye lies a mile off Howth, and contains the ruins of the church of the Three Sons of Nessan, belonging to the seventh century. The little island of Dalkey contains a Martello tower, and also a very ancient- church ruin. DUBLIN. BAYS AND HARBOES.— Beginning on the north, tlie little harbor of Loughshinny lies a mile north of Eush. Immediately south of Eush, straight opposite Lambay Island, is Eogerstown or Turvey Bay ; next is Malahide Bay, and just north of Howth, Baldoyle Hay, all three well sheltered, but so shallow and sandy as to be of little use. Howth Harbor is artificial, and was erected at great expense ; but it is now little used except as a rendezvous for fishing vessels. Dub- lin Bay, celebrated for its fine scenery, is in- closed on the north by the Hill of Howth, and on the south by Dalkey Hill, 6 miles asunder; it is 6 miles deep, and its shores are thickly studded with beautiful towns and villas. There is an artificial inner harbor formed by two walls, the South Wall and the Bull "Wall, which keep out the heavy swell, and prevent the accumulation of sand. At Kingstown there is a very fine arti- ficial harbor. Near this is the little harbor of Bullock. Killiney Bay has a fine curved sandy beach which extends south to Bray. EIVEES.— The Liffey enters this county at Leixlip; and from this to its mouth at Ringsend is about 12 miles. The Dodder rises on the slopes of Kippure, and for the first part of its course flows through Glennasmole, a very fine valley G miles long, celebrated in ancient legend, and now Well cultivated and inhabited : after a most picturesque course the Dodder joins the LifEej' at Eing^.eud. The Tolka, which rises in Meath, passing by Glasnevin, flows into Dublin Bay, near Clontarf. The Broad Meadow Water and the Ward Eivei", both of which rise in Meath, flow into Malahide Bay. The pretty little river Delvin forms for nearly its whole course the northern boundarj', separating Dublin from Meath. On the south the Bray River separates the counties of Dublin and Wicklow. TOWNS.— Dublin, the capital of Ireland, is situated at the mouth of the Liffey. What is called the "City" has a population of 249,G02; but Dublin has far outgrown the limits of the "City" and if Rathmines, Rathgar, and the Pem- broke Township be included, as they ought to be, the population is about 300,000. Kingstown 18,586), on the south side of Dublin Bay, a flourishing town, formerly called Dunleary, is the mail packet station between Dublin and England, and the chief station for the steamers plying to Holyhead and Liverpool. Near Kingstown, on the Dublin side, is Blackrock (8,902), and on the other side is Dalkey (3,234), both verj' beauti- fully situated. Adjoining Dalkey is Killiney, in a still more lovely situation on the slope of Kill- ine3' Hill. North of Dublin along the coast are the follow- ing: Clontarf (4,210), the scene of the battle in which the Danes were defeated by Brian Boru in 1014: Howth (909), on the north side of Howth Hill, with its fine abbey ruins; near which ia Baldoyle (577), on the shore of Baldoyle Bay: Malahide (070), whose castle, a very fine and most interesting baronial residence, is still in- habited by its lords. A little inland is Swords (1,088), once an important ecclesiastical center, and still retaining the ruins of a church, a round tower, and the remains of the archiepiscopal palace. The long straggling street of Eush (1,071) comes next; and 3 miles inland is Lusk (357), chiefly remarkable for its church ruins and round tower. Skerries (2,227), an important fishing station, stands in a beautiful situation, its main street running parallel to the shore : and lastly, Balbriggan (2,443), celebrated for its hosiery. On the Liffey, above Dublin, is Chapelizod (1,583), most picturesquely situated ; and higher upLucan (691), which was formerly the residence of the Sarsfield family, and gave the title of earl to the celebrated Patrick Sarsfield, the defender of Limerick. Immediately west of Dublin, and near the Liffey, is Kilmainham (5,391); and 4 miles west of this is the village of Clondalkin (379), which is remarkable only for its perfect round tower. Near Dublin, in the south, is the little town of Terenure (1,143), which is fast becoming incorporated with Dublin; and a mile further on is the faded village of Eathfarnham (746). Dundrum (492), 3 miles south of the city, is now growing to be a favorite suburban residence. That portion of Bray lying in the county Dublin has a population of 2,148. MINERALS.— At Ballycorus, 3 miles from Bray, there is a lead mine, which yields also silver. ANCIENT DIVISIONS AND DESIGNA- TIONS.— The old district of Cualann belonged chiefly to Wicklow, but it extended north to within a short distance of Dublin. The level dis- DUBLIN. trict lying between Dublin and Howth was an- ciently called Moy-Ealta-Edar, or the plain of the bird tlooks of Edar (from Edar or Howth). That part of the county lyiusr north of Howth ■was called ."Fingall, i.e., the Jine or tribe of the Galls or Danes; and to this day it retain.^ the i name, and the people are called Fingallians. The Hill of Howth was the ancient Ben- Edar, i.e., the Ben or peak of Edar, a legendarj' hero. Crijfau, king of Ireland in the first century, had his residence on Howth, and his palace, Dun- Criffan, stood near where the lighthouse now is. ILLXJSTE^TIOlSrS. BANK OF IRELAND.— This magnificent edifice, on the north side of College Green, was formerly the Irish House of Parliament, and is reminiscent of some of the noblest associations in Irish history. Within its walls were heard some of the loftiest bursts of eloquence that adorn the legislative annals of any countrj'. There Grat- tan, Curran, Flood, Plunket and other oratorical giants struggled in ii^.tellectual combat, and there were witnessed some of the most inspiring acts of patriotism, and unhajipily, too, some of the basest acts of treachery that ever befell a people struggling for freedom. The building is of rare artistic and classic beauty, being unsur- passed in elegance, grace and sj-mmetry hy any edifice in Europe. Strange to say, the name of the genius who designed this marvelous speci- men of architecture is unknown. It is built of Portland stone, "and derives all its beautj' from a single impulse of fine art, and is one of the few instances of form only, expressing true sym- metrj'. " The grand Ionic portico in front is 147 feet in extent. O'CONNELL MONUMENT.— This magnifi- cent monument to the Irish Liberator stands near the northern end of O'Connell Street (formerly Sackville Street), the chief thoroughfare of Ire- land's capital. It was raised by national sub- scription, and cost £12,000. It was designed by the distinguished xxish sculptor, Henry Foley, who did not live to see his great work completed, though the model was practically finished at the time of his death. The cornerstone was laid in August, 1864. The figure of the great tribune is 13 feet high, and the sculptor had completed the head shortly before his death. Around the drum on which the statue stands are four winged victories, while 50 figures, 14 of statuesque pro- portions, the principal being Erin trampling on broken fetters and pointing with uplifted hand to the statue above, are grouped immediately above. There are also 4 shields representing the 4 provinces of Ireland. MORTUARY CHAPEL AND O'CONNELL'S TOWER, GLASNEVIN. — Glasnevin is the Campo Santo of Ireland, where repose the re- mains of most of the orators, statesmen and patriots who have won the affections of the Irish people during this century. The cemetery, which is one of the most beautiful in Europe, was established through the instrumentality of O'Connell, as a burial place for Catholics, and has been enlarged until it contains 59 acres. O'Connell 's remains were removed to the crypt where they now repose in 1869. The crypt is tastefully decorated and colored, and is an object of great interest. On the walls are O'Connell's dying words: "My heart to Rome, my body to Ireland, my soul to Heaven." The commemora- tive round tower, fit monument for the great patriot, has an elevation of 150 feet. The mor- tuary chapel erected close to the tower is of Dalkey granite, and carved in Romanesque -n the style of Irish architecture. GRATTAN'S STATUE, COLLEGE GREEN. — In the storied plaza of College Green, Dublin, one of the most conspicuous features is the noble statue of Henry Grattau, by Foley, erected by the city corporation in 1876. The great orator and patriot is represented as he appeared when moving the Declaration of Irish Rights, which he supported in one of his most celebrated orations. The statue is appropriately set on the old parade ground of the volunteers, and facing the statues of Goldsmith and Burke, the three greatest mas- ters within their respective spheres of the Eng- lish language — Grattan for concentration. Gold- smith for grace, and Burke for magnificence. DUBLIN. To the lett is the old Irish Parliament House, the scene of so many of Grattan's triumphs. The spot where the statue stands was chosen as a site for the Prince Albert Memorial, but through the efforts of the late A. M. Sullivan, author of the "Story of Ireland," it was reserved for Grat- tan's statue, while the other was changed to the lawn of the Koyal Dublin Society. THE EOTUNDA.— The Rotunda, one of the most noted structures in Dublin, used chiefly for meetings, balls and exhibitions, stands at the corner of Rutland Square, at the end of Upper O'Connell Street, and contains a splendid series of rooms, admirably adapted for the purposes intended. Among them may be mentioned a ballroom, 86 feet; and card room, 66 feet; tea room, 54 feet; hall, 40 feet; grand supper room, 86 feet; minor supper room, 54 feet; waiting room, 36 feet; 4 dressing rooms, each 20 feet; a servants' hall 40 feet; vestibule, 20 feet; ail of proportionate breadth, beside many other ap- partments and offices. Many memorable meet- ings have been held within the jjrecincts of the Rotunda, among them the conference that sat from November 18 to 21, 1873, when the Home Rule League which afterward developed into the Land League and National League was formed. MALAHIDE CASTLE.— This castle is one of the oldest and best preserved of anj' of the early Anglo-Norman castles in Ireland. Malahide was granted to Rich&,rd Talbot by Henry II., and it has been in the possession of this family until the present day, save during a short period, when it was occupied by one Myles Corbet, a regicide, who was forced to abandon it, after the Restoration of Charles II. The castle has been re-edified on many occasions, but always in keeping with its ancient character, and making it to the present day representative of the olden time. It is an extensive square structure, flanked by circular towers, and stands on an enUnence to the left of the little village. The interior possesses many features of interesi among them a splendid hall, said to be the pur= est specimen of Norman architecture in the coun- try. A collection of rare paintings and portraits by the old Dutch and Italian masters adorn the venerable mansion. VICE-REGAL LODGE, PHCENIX PARK.— This large but rather plain and unpretentious edifice is the summer residence of the Lord- Lieutenant of Ireland. It was purchased from the Earl of Leitrim in 1784, and stands near the principal road through the park. The park con- tains 1,752 acres, 160 of which form the demesne of the "Vice-Regal Lodge. The drive from the Dublin Gate to Castlenock Gate is considerably more than 2 miles. It is a magnificent and de- lightful recreation ground, and admirably well kept, and is considered by many to be unequaled in beauty by any inclosure or pleasure ground in the British Islands. Near to the Vice Regal Lodge is the residence of the Chief Secretary for Ireland, also surrounded by a demesne; whil« throughout the park are also residences and buildings for the use of the Rangers, the Roj'al Hibernian Military School, the headquarters of the Royal Irish Constabulary, and other public buildings for the use of the government officials. ST. STEPHEN'S GREEN.— This inclosure, the largest city square in Europe, occupying a square mile, Avas transformed into a park a few years ago, through the munificence of Lord Ardilaun. It was formerly the Tyburn of Dub- lin, and many malefactors were executed there. The building of the Catholic University, the Royal College of Surgeons, the College of Science, and the VP'esleyan College form portions of the lines of fine houses on each side of the green. Merrion Square, where stands the house in which O'Connell resided for many years, during the zenith of his power, Leinster Square, Pitz- William and Mountjoy Squares, surrounded by the residences of the aristocracy, are also embel- lishments of which any city might be proud.

The Corrib Eiver, flowing by Galway town, pours the superfluous waters of Lough Corrib and Lough Mask into Galway Bay, running a short course of 5 miles from Lough Corrib to the sea. On the east side, the Clare, or Claregalway Eiver, a considerable stream coming southward from Ma3'0, the Cregg Eiver, and the Black Eiver (between Galway and ilayo) flow into Lough Corrib; and into the same lake on the west side run the Owenriff and the Bealana- brack, both noted for beautiful scenery. In the western part of the county the Dawros Eiver runs into Ballinakill Harbor, and the Owenglin by Clifden into Ardbear Bay. LAKES. — The great lake feature of Galway is I Lough Corrib, the largest lake in Ireland except Lough Neagh, and far finer than Lough Xeagh in the scenery of its shores. Lough Mask and Lough Derg both lie on, and form part of, the boundary. That part of the county west of Lough Corrib is studded with innumerable lakes. Lough Inagh, Derryclare Lake, Lough Garroman, Bal- Ij-nahinch Lake, and Kylemore Lake, all lie at the base of the Twelve Pins, and are all cele- brated for their beautiful scenery. Lough Shin- dilla. Lough Ardderry, Lough Anillaun, and Lough Bofin, are on the road from Galway to I Clifden. In the south of the county. Lough ' Cooter lies near Gort, and Loughrea beside the town of Loughrea. TOWNS. — Galway (15,4:71), the assize town, on the river Corrib. Two miles above Galway, on an expansion of the Corrib, is Menlough (427) ; and south of Galway, at the head of Kin- varra Bay, is Kinvarra (498). On the eastern border are Portumna (1,252), on Lough Derg, with castle and abbey ruins; Eyrecourt (668); and Ballinasloe (4,772, of whom 947 are in Eos- common), on the Suck, noted for its great horse, sheep, and cattle fairs. Inland in this eastern part of the county ai-e the following : Gort (1,719), in the southwest corner; northeast of this is Loughrea (3,159), a prosperous town in the midst of a fertile district ; further north, on the road from Dublin to Galway, is the ancient town of Athenry (1,0.30), with its fine castle and abbey ruins; still more ancient is Tuam (3,567), toward tbe northern border, now a well-to-do, prosperous town, which dates its origin from a monastery founded there in the 6th century by St. Jarlath. North of Tuam is Dunmore (608) ; and to the west, near the boundary of Mayo, is Headford (779). j In the western division of the county, the only towns of consequence are Oughterard (834), in a lovely situation on the Owenriff ; and Clifden (1,287), the capital of all this western district, quite a modern town, built at the head of Ard- bear Bay. i ANCIENT DmSIONS AND DESIGNA- TIONS. — There were several districts in Con- naught called Conmacne, one of which, Con- macne-mara, is now called Connemara. All that part of Galway west of Lough Corrib and Lough- GALWAY. Mask was anciently called lar Connaught, or West Connaught; but the name is now usually applied to the barony of Moycullen. The old territory of Hy Many, the country of the O'Kellj's, extended from the Shannon to Galway Ba3^ : the eastern part of it, now occupied by the barony of Longford., was the O'Madden's coun- try, called Sil Anm/?ada; and the southwestern part, now occupied by the baronies of Kiltartan and Dunkellin, was called Aidne or Hy Fiachrach Aidne. A part of the barony of Ross lying be- tween Killary Harbor and the western arm of Lough Corrib, is called the Joj'ces' country: the Joyces, a family of Welsh extraction, settled there in the thirteenth century ; and to this day the inhabitants are almost all Joyces. ILLTJSTRA.TIO]SrS. LYNCH' J CASTLE.— The city of Galway at one time carried on a large commerce with Spain, an intercourse that has shown its effects to the present in the appearance and character of the people, and the buildings and streets of the town. Among the buildings the onlj' perfectlj- preserved example of Spanish architecture is Lynch 's Castle, a large, stately edifice, at the corner of Shop and Abbeygate Streets. Its decorations, ornamental mouldings and pictur- esque cornices denote its Spanish character, which less than a centUi'y ago was noticeable in most of the chief buildings of the city. The Lynchs were one of the thirteen so-called Tribes of Galway, all of whom were of Anglo-Norman descent; their prominence may be measured by the fact'that during a period of 169 years, 84 members of the family were maj'ors of the city. Lynch 's Castle here depicted was the home of the family for several generations. The tragic story of James Lj-nch, Warden of Galway, who hanged his son for murder, 1493, is famous in history and romance. WEST BEIDGE AND FATHER DALY'S CHAPEL. — Of the three bridges connecting the old and the new portions of the city of Galwaj', on each side of the river that drains Lough Corrib, that known as the West Bridge is the most striking, and is among the finest bridge structures in Ireland. It is of modern construc- tion, and occupies the site of another built in 1442, by Edmond Lynch, at his own expense. Overlooking this bridge is the handsome edifice called Father Daly's chapel, which is an object of interest from the priest whose name it bears. Father Peter Daly devoted his talent and ener- gies to advance the material as well as the spirit- ual interests of the people of Galway, notably in 1850, on the occasion of the government inquiry to ascertain the best harbor in Ireland for a traus-Atlantic packet station. FISH MARKET.— A singular community called the Claddagh, numbering about 5,000 souls, forms a suburb of the city of Galway. They are all fishermen, possess their peculiat customs, intermarry only with each other, and have always kept aloof from the surrounding in- habitants whom they regard as "transplanters." Thej- have a primitive code of laws by which they are governed, and never appeal to any out- side courts of justice. They annually elect a "king" or head man on St. John's eve, and he exercises almost absolute power in some respects The Claddaghites are peaceable, industrious and sober, and notably hospitable to strangers. Though differing from the other inhabitants of Galway, in dress, habits, customs, and their Irish dialect, there is no marked difference in their personal appearance. The accompanying picture shows a group of these women in the Galway fishmarket, the trade of which the Clad- dagh people monopolize. EYRE SQUARE. — The accompanying picture represents a portion of Eyre Square, a principal part of the citj' of Galway, and which contains many of the chief buildings, residences, hotels, railway station, and statues of eminent citizens. Galway Bay is acknowledged to be the finest in Ireland, and being 500 miles nearer to America than Liverpool, would, were it not for British commercial selfishness, be a flourish- ing center of trade and commerce. From the earliest times, the town was a famous trading port with Spain, and its merchants were cele- GALWAY. brated for their commercial enterprise and wealtli. The older parts of the city retain to the present day melancholy yestiges of its departed prosperity' and greatness. These, says a modern writer, exhibit generally tokens of the commercial habits of the people rather than of their military character. The people of Gal way, however, ex- perienced their full share of the wars and mis- fortunes of the invader, and alwaj's maintained their high character for courage and patriot- ism. CLIFDEN CASCADE.— Clif den, in Conne- mara, is a modern town, there being only one house on its site as late as 1815. It is situated in the midst of some of the wildest and most im- posing scenery in Ireland, and excites the ad- miration of every traveler. It is more Swiss-like than any other portion of the island. It owes its origin to Mr. John D'Arcy, a landed proprietor, who recognized the advantage of having a sea- port town in this remote locality, but though the town flourished its founder did not, for through his expenditures and liberality he lost his prop- erty under the Encumbered Estates Act. The Owenglen Eiver rushes past the town, forming a picturesqu3 and attiactive waterfall, breaking through the rocks in a series of fascinating cas- cades. The castle, a modern castellated man- sion, is a short distance to the east of the town and is surrounded by beautiful and magnificent scenery. In loveliness and grandeur the locality surpasses many of the most celebrated continental scenes. KTLEMOEE CASTLE.— This picturesque and beautiful castellated residence was erected by the late Mr. Mitchell Henry some years ago and is one of the most handsome and romantic- ally situated mansions in Ii-eland. The Pass of Kylemore — meaning great wood — has been al- ways considered equal in grandem' to the famed gap of Dunloe in Kerry, or Barnesmore in Done- gal, while the Lough of Kj-lemore is scarce un- surpassed by the Lakes of Killarney. The pass is 3 miles long, and the lough 2, and | mile wide. Doaghrue to the north of the pass rises to a height of more than 1,700 feet, its huge, rugged crags jutting out of the dense wood that gives the pass its name. On the north side of this height and on the border of the lough stands the magnificent castle show-n in the accompany- ing engraving, its turrets half-hidden behind the dense foliage. WEST BRIOGE AND FATHER DALY'S CHAPEL, GAWAY ,1 FISH MARKET, GALWAY. 1 THE CLADDAGH, GALWAY, KERRY. Name. — Fergus, ex-king of Ulster, one of the Bed Branch Knights, in the time of Conor Mac Nessa (see Armagh,) had a son named Ciar (pron. Keer), who settled in Muuster. Ciar's descen- dants, -who were called from him, Ciarraighe (pron. Keeree), possessed the district lying \vest of Abbeyfeale ; and this district, which took the name of the tribe, ultimately gave name to the whole county — Ciarraighe, now Kerry. SIZE AND POPULATION. -Greatest length from Tarbert on the Shannon to Bolus Head, 69 miles; breadth fromMweelin Mountain, 14 miles east of Kenmare, to Ballydavid Head at Smer- wick Harbor, 53| miles; area, 1,853 square miles; population, 201,039. SURFACE.— The north part of the county, consisting of the barony of Ii"aghticonor and the greater part of the barony of Clanmaurice, is moderately level; all the rest, with some trifling exceptions, is mountainous. MOUNTAINS.— The Kerry Mountains form part of the great group that covers the west and southwest of both Cork and Kerry ; like those of Cork they generally run in chains east and west; and they include the grandest combination of mountain scenery, the most tremendous preci- pices, and the finest valleys, in Ireland. Three chief chains, each with minor subdivi- sions, stand out very prominently, running west- ward to the end of the three peninsulas of Corka- guiny, Iveragh and Bear, the Bear chain belong- ing partly to Cork. The middle chain is divided toward the west into two distinct chains, by the valley of the river Inny. Toward the eastern end it includes Macgillicuddy's Keeks, of which Carrantuohill (3,414), a grand peaked moun- tain, is the highest summit in Ireland. Near Carrantuohill are Beenkeragh (3,314) half a mile toward the north, and Caher (3,200), a mile to the west. The Gap of Dunloe, a magnificent ravine, cuts right across the chain from north to south, separating the Reeks from the Killarney Mountains, which are the continuation of the chain to the east. Of these the chief summits are Tomies (2,413), Purple Mountain (2,639) > fine conical peak, and Tore (1,764), a massive hill with precipitous sides, all three looking down on the Lakes of Killarne.v — the two former on the west side the last on the soutli ; and, lastly, the great mountain mass of Mangerton (2,756). Near Mangerton are Stoompa (2,281) and Knockbrack (2,005). The continuation of the Killarney Mountains to the east brings us to the beautiful twin peaks. The Paps (2,268), close together, with a high narrow pass between them. West of the Reeks the most conspicuous moun- tains are Drung (2,104), and west of it, Knock- nadober (2,266), both rising from the very shore of Dingle Bay; and 4 miles south o .' Drung, Coomacarrea (2,542). In the southern division of these Iveragh Mountains, south and southeast of the valley of the river Inny, areBoughil (2,065), northwest of Kenmare; Mullaghanattin (2,539), a few miles west of it; and Coomcallee (2,134), 4 miles west of the village of Sneem. The whole of the Corkaguiny or Dingle penin- sula is a mass of mountains, which form a con- tinuous chain like a great backbone, traversing the peninsula from east to west, and sloping precipitously down to the sea on all sides. They begin on the east with the Slieve Mish range, rising directly over Tralee Bay, of which the highest summits are Baurtregaum (2,796), and Cahirconree (2,715). Beenoskee (2,713) stands in the middle of the peninsula; and northwest of this is the grand mountain of Brandon (3,127), directb' over the sea. St. Brendan, from whom this mountain received its name, was a native of this district, and lived in the beginning of the 6th century. He is often called Brendan the Navigator on account of his famous voj'age in which it is said he spent seven years sailing about in the Atlantic Ocean. He set out on his voyage from a bay under Brandon Mountain, and his little oratory, which is held in great veneration, is still to be seen on the very sum- mit. This great Corkaguiny range is abruptly terminated on the west by Mount Eagle (1,6P6), KERRY. a spur of which, Dunmore Head, is the most westerly point of the mainland of Ireland. In the southern or Bear peninsula, the Caha Mountains lie on the boundary with Cork, as does the Derrynasaggart range, northeast of chem. Knockboy (2,321) rises over Glengarriff. Northeast of Tralee the Glannaruddery Moun- tains (1,097), run nearly north and south; and west of these are Stack's Mountains (1,170). The moory hills east and northeast of Castle- island are well known as Slieve Lougher, though the name is not now often marked on maps. Their highest summit is Mount Eagle (1,417). At the northern end of the county, Knocka- nore (880) rises over the Shannon mouth, and though not loftj-, is conspicuous by its isolation. On the shore at the western base of this hill is the village of Ballybunnion, noted for its fine sea caves. COAST LINE.— The coast is pierced by deep bays which cut the land into long and narrow- peninsulas and from these larger bays innumera- ble smaller ones branch off, presenting an in- finite variety of the finest seacoast scenery the whole way round from Tarbert to Kenmare. HEADLANDS,— Beginning at the north: Beal Point marks the commencement of the opening of the Shannon into the ocean : Kerry Head, a bold promontory, the southern point of the mouth of the Shannon : Brandon Head is a grand cliff under Brandon Mountain. Sibyl Head, Clogher Head, Dunmore Head and Slea Head, are at the extreme west of the Corkaguiny penin- sula. Bray Head, a tall cliff, is the southwestern end of Valentia Island ; south of which is the still more loftj' promontory of Bolus Head, the extremity of the rugged peninsula that separates St. Finan's Bay from Ballinskelligs Bay; east of this, at the other side of Ballinskelligs Bay, is Hog's Head; and lastly Lamb's Head, at the mouth of the Kenmare River. ISLANDS. — The largest is Talentia, which lies at the extremity of the Iveragh peninsula; it is 7 miles long, and rises 888 feet over the sea. Proceeding southward from Valentia, Puffin Island lies outside St. Finan's Bay; Off Bolus Head are the Skellig Rocks; the largest one, the Greater Skellig, stands like an enormous pillar 714 feet out of the sea, and though neaily inac- cessible, has on it the remains of a very ancient religious establishment which has been for agea a place of pilgrimage; there are two lighthouses on this rock. The rocky and lofty island of Scariff (839 feet high) lies in front of Darrynane Bay, and near it is the smaller island of Deenish, of much the same character. In the Kenmare River or Bay at the Kerry side are the islands of Sherky, Rossdohan, and Rossmore. Going northward from Valentia, the Great Blasket, at the end of the Corkaguiny peninsula, is 3| miles long and very narrow and lofty; it has tremendous sea cliffs on the northwest side which run in a continuous line the whole length of the island ; one peak, Croaghmore, is 961 feet over the sea, and another, Slievedonagh, 937; each presenting an almost perpendicular wall of rock to the sea. Near this is Inishtooskert, 1 mile in length and 573 feet high, on which is a little church called St. Brendan's oratory ; and west and southwest of Blasket is Tearaght, 602 feet high ; southwest of Gr^at Blasket are the two high rocky islands, Inishvickillane and In- ishnabro. All these rise in loftj' cliffs from the sea, the whole group presenting a sublime ap- pearance from the mainland. The Magharees or Seven Hogs, a cluster of sea rocks, lie at the northern extremity of the long peninsula that separates Tralee Bay from Brandon Bay. Lastly, in the Shannon, near Ballylongford, is Carrig Island, with the fine old castle of Carrigafoyle near the shore, the ancient residence of the O 'Conors-Kerry. BAYS AND HARBORS.— Beginning on tho north, Ballyheige Baylies south of Kerry Head; Tralee Bay and Brandon Baj', west of Tralee, are both nearly circular, and are very well shel- tered ; Smerwick Harbor is near the extremity of the Corkaguiny peninsula. Dingle Bay (includ- ing Castelmaine Harbor) is about 25 miles long, with an average breadth of about 7 miles; is overtopped by mountains on both sides, and is noted for the splendid scenery of its shores. At the head of Dingle Bay is Castlemaine Karbor, sheltered in the outside by the two long sandy peninsulas of Inch from the north side, and Rossbehy from the south ; and off the north side of Dingle Bay are Dingle Harbor and Ventry Harbor, both well sheltered — the latter cele- brated in legend. Between Valentia and the mainland is Valentia Harbor. At the south- KERRY. western extremity of the Iveragh peninsulas are St. Finan's Bay, and Ballinskelligs Bay, and Darrynane Bay, this last having on its shores Darrynane Abbey, formerly the residence of Daniel O'Connell. The mouth of the Kenmare River, or Kenmare Bay, separates Kerry from Cork, but belongs for the greater part to Kerry. Branching off from it on the south are Kilmakil- log Harbor, and Ardgroom Harbor, the latter belonging partly to Cork. RIVERS.— Beginning on the north, and tak- ing the rivers in their order: The Shannon washes the north shore of Kerry from Tarbert to the mouth. The Blackwater rises in Kerry, then runs on the boundary between Cork and Kerry, and next enters Cork. ■ The Cashen runs into the Shannon mouth, and is formed by the junction of the Galey (which rises in Limerick), the Feale (which rises in Cork), and the Brick (whose chief headwater is the Shanow) ; the Feale (which forms the bound- ary for 13 or 14 miles) being joined from the Kerry side by the Clydagh, the Owveg, and the Smearlagh. The little river Lee flows by Tralee into Tralee Bay, and gives name to the town — Tralee, the traigh or strand of the Lee. The Maine, which receives the Brown Flesk as tributary, flows into Castlemaine Harbor. Lito the same harbor flows the Laune, which carries off the overflow of the Lakes of Killarney ; it receives as tributaries the Gweestin from the northeast, and from the south the Gaddagh, which runs in the Hag's Valley under Carrantuo- hill, and the Loe flowing through the Gap of Dunloe. The beautiful river Flesk flows through the fine valley of Glenflesk into the Lower Lake of Killarney, receiving high up in its course the Loo and the Clj'dagh, this latter, which draws some of its waters from Cork, being properlj' the headwater. The Gearhameen drains the splen- did vale of Coomyduff, or the Black Valley, and flowing eastward under the very base of the Reeks, joins the Upper Lake; before entering the lake it is joined by the Owenreagh. The Glanbehy flows through the fine valley of Glan- behy into the head of Dingle Bay, and near it on the east is the Caragh, which, before it enters the bay, expands into the lovely Lough Caragh. The Ferta runs by Cahirsiveen into Valentia Harbor. The Inny drains the valley separating the two Iveragh Mountain ranges, and falls into Ballinskelligs Bay ; and near it, and parallel to it, is the Cummeragh, falling into Lough Cur- rane. The Roughty flows through a fine glen (which gives to the surrounding barony the name of Glanarought), and entering the sea at Ken- mare, opens out into the great estuary called Kenmare River, or Kenmare Bay. The Sheen (called in the early part of it course the Baurea- ragh River) joins the Roughty on the south bank opposite Kenmare ; the Slahen3' joins it a little higher up on the same bank, and through Kenmare itself runs the pretty river Finnihy, also into the Roughty. LAKES. ^ — The glory of Kerry is its combina- tion of lake and mountain scenery. The lakes of Killarney are three in number — the Upper Lake, the Middle Lake, and the Lower Lake. The Lower Lake, or Lough Leane, the largest of the three, is 5 miles long by about 2| miles broad ; it contains several islands, the two prin- ciple being Innisfallen, noted for its beauty, and containing the ruins of the celebrated Abbey of Innisfallen, founded in the 7th century by St. Finan the Lepei", and Ross Island (which is now connected with the mainland), on which stands the fine old ruin of Ross Castle. A tor- rent flowing into this lake down the side of Tomies Mountain forms the beautiful O'Sulli- van's cascade. Middle Lake, or Tore Lake, or Muckross Lake, is 2 miles long by three-quarters of a mile wide; it is separated from Lough Leane bj' the lovely peninsula of Muckross, on which are the ruins of Muckross Abbey, and by the lit- tle island of Dinish. The Upper Lake is 2^ miles long by | mile broad; it contains a number of islands, the chief of which are Eagle Island, Ronayne's Island, and Stag Island; and it is by far the wildest of the three in its scen- ery. The Galway's River, flowing into it from the south, forms the cascade of Derrycunnihy. The Upper Lake is connected with the Lower and Middle Lakes by a channel 3 miles long^ — half river, half lake — called the Long Range, over the north bank of which rises a lofty rock called the Eagle's Nest, noted for its fine echoes. All three lakes are overhung by splendid moun- tains, their shores and islands are well wooded, and their scenery is unequaled for softness, freshness and beauty. Near the Upper Lake KERRl. and beside ti.c/ road from Killariiey to Kenmare is Looscaunagh Lough. The Devil's Punch Bowl (called in Gaelic Poulaniffrin, or the hole of hell), near the sum- mit of Mangerton, is an extraordinary mountain tarn; a stream flowing from it tumbles into the Middle Lake and forms in its course the beauti- ful Tore Waterfall. Under a stupendous preci- pice between Mangerton and Stoompa is the deep glen called Gleuacappal, in which are three small lakes. Lough Erhagh, Lough Managh, and Lough Garagarry ; and near this last is the large circular Lough Guitane. On the south side of the Kenmare River are Inchiquin Lough and the two lakes of Cloonoe, all three beside each other. West of Killarney, near the head of Dingle Bay, is the beautiful Lough Caragh, 3| miles in length, with Carrantuohill towering over it. Lough Currane, or Waterville Lake, is a fine sheet of water near Ballinskelligs Bay ; and 6 miles northeast of it are Lough Derriaua and Cloonaghlin Lake, both of which send thsir over- flow of water to Lough Currane by >he Cum- meragh River. The word coom is used very often in Kerry to designate deep basin-like hollows among the mountains; it is used as a topographical term in other parts of L'eland, but it is more common in Munster — especially in Kerry and Cork — ^than elsewhere. A vast number of the cooms of the Kerry Mountains contain lakes ; as, for instance, Coomasaharn, near Drung Hill, in which the Glanbehy River rises. Some of these cooms give names to the hills which rise over them, as in the case of Coomacarrea Mountain, south of Drung. TOWNS.— Tralee (9,910), the assize town, stands on the little river Lee, near where it enters Tralee Bay. Killarney (6,651), is situ- ated a mile east of Lower Lake. The other inland towns are Listowel (2,965), in the north P5.rt of the county on the Feale; in the east Cas- tlaisland (1,466), on the Maine. Beside Tralee, the towns on or near the coast are, beginning on the north, the stirring little town of Tarbert (712) on the Shannon ; near it Ballylongford (829), on a creek of the Shannon; Castlegregory (597), on the western shore of Tralee Bay; Dingle (1,833), on Dingle Bay is the capital of the Corkaguiny peninsula; Mill- town (636) stands near the mouth of the Maine, near it is Killorglin (1,028), on the Lauue, where it enters Castlemaine Harbor. Cahersiveen (2,003), the capital of the Iveragh peninsula, stands on a creek of Valentia Harbor, and lastly, the pretty town of Kenmare (1,279) stands in a deep valley at the mouth of Roughty River. MINERALS.— On the island of Valentia there are valuable quarries of flags and roofing slates. Copper ore is found at Muckross and at Ardfert; also near Cahersiveen and in Glanarought. The stones called Kerry diamonds, which are very like real diamonds, are found among the rocks on several parts of the coast, especially near Dingle and near Kerry Head. ANCIENT DIVISIONS AND DESIGNA- TIONS. — Kerry anciently formed one of the five Munsters, namely, lar-Muiuan, or West Munster. The district between Tralee and the Shannon, and west of Abbeyfeale, was the original Ciar- raigbe, from which Kerry derived its name. It was often called Ciarraighe-Luachra, from Sliabh- Luachra, or Slieve Lougher. Remains of antiquity, both Pagan and Chris- tian, are more numerous, and in many respects more interesting, in Kerry, than in any other county of Ireland. They are more abundant in the peninsula of Corkaguiny than elsewhere. The most curious and interesting early Chris- tian oratory in Ireland is at Gallerus, on the southern shore of Smerwick Harbor; it is very- small, rectangular in plan, and the side walla curve upward till they meet in a ridge so as to form a roof. At Kilmalkedar, a mile from Gal- lerus, there is another oratory. Both these buildings are coeval with the introduction 3^ Christianity into Ireland ; and beside each thes- is a pillar-stone with an inscription in Romau letters. Staigue Fort, near West Cove, on the north shore of the Kennnire River, is the most per- fectly preserved circular stone caher in Ireland, At Fahan, southwest of Ventry, just at the base of Mount Eagle, there is a whole village of ancient beehive-shaped stone-roofed houses, the most curious collection of the kind in the country. On a shoulder of Cahirconree Mountain, near Tralee, is an immense Cyclopean fortress, built up in the usual pagan fashion, of very large KERKY. Btones without cement. This is the caher or for- tress of Curoi MacDara, who was kiug of all this southwest part of Munster; and the luouDtain still preserves his name, for Caherconree means the caher of Curoi. He lived in the tmje of Conor Mac Nessa, in the first century ; and he is one of the chief characters in several of the ancient tales of the Red Branch Knights. illxjstii^tio:ns. MUCKROSS ABBEY, KILLARNEY.— From its scenic surroundings, being built on an arm of one of the Lakes of Killaruey, the remains of Muckross Abbey are among the most interesting of any in Ireland. The beautiful and secluded spot was selected by "the Monks of eld," as an ideal place for a holy life of meditation and praj'er. The Abbey was erected on the site of tin ancient church which was destroyed by fire in 1192. It was built for the Franciscan monks, Dy one of the McCarthys, Princes of Desmond, in 1410, bat according to the Annals of the Four Masters, the most reliable authority, a century earlier. It was repaired in 1602, and also in 1626. It is to-day in a fair state of preservation. AYithin the choir is a huge vault containing the tombs of the McCarthys Mor, and of the O'Donoughes of the Glens whose descendants were interred there as late as 1833. O'CONNELL MEMORIAL CHURCH, CAHIR- CIVEEN. — This beautiful structure is an eccle- siastical monument to the emancipator of the Catholics of Ireland, and is due to the energy, and religious and patriotic zeal of \evy Rev. Canon Brosnan, of Cahir-civeen. It is in the cen- ter of a picturesque and romantic district, and close to Derrynaue, famed as the seat and birth- place of O'Counell. In its vicinity are the ruins of an ancient monastery founded by the monks of St. Finbar in the 7th century. O'Counell was accustomed to attend Mass in the old chapel of Cahir-civeen, and from his enthusiastic delight in the wild scenery of the localitj', and his love of roaming amid its grand and inspiring views j of mountain, crag, and dale, when temporarily withdrawn from the cares of more serious duty, we may easily imagine that he would prefer such a memorial as this beautiful church in this ^pot to the grandest monument that could be erected to his memory, in city or court. KENMARE. — Kenmare is a small but pretty ^ town, in the ancient "Kingdom of Kerry," and ^ is situated in the vicinity of some of the wildest and most romantic scenery in the south of Ire- laud. It is approached by a fine suspension bridge, the onlj' one of note in Ireland, called Laudsdowne Bridge, after the master of the estate. The town is of comparatively modern date, having been founded in 1670 by Sir Will- iam Petty, one of the most disreputable of Eng- lish adventurers in Ireland, and progenitor of the Landsdowne family. During the English revolution of 1688, it was forced to capitulate to King James' army. The inhabitants, being English and Protestant, determined to embark for Bristol ; but after the fall of Limerick most of them returned. The convent of St. Clare, herewith shown, has become noted of late years, especially through the work of Sister Mary Frances Clare, a convert from Protestantism, and author of works on Irish and religious subjects. DERRYCUNNIHY COTTAGE, BRICKEEN BRIDGE, AND GLENA COTTAGE, KILLAR- NEY. — It is unnecessary to more than allude to the world-famed Lakes of Killarney. They have been at once the delight and the despair of the tourist. The marvelous, ever-changing scenery of the localit}', the beauty, grandeur and sublim- ity of everything around this enchanting spot have defied such word-painters as "Wordsworth, Scott, and Macaulay, who declare that no lan- guage can adequately describe their wondrous loveliness and fascinations. The lakes, \^hich are three in number, the Upper, Tore, and Lower, were renowned from the most remote times for their natural beauty', and after the introductioa of Christianity, for the number and extent ol their monasteries, churches, and schools. Derrycunnihy, which gives its name to one of the most beautiful of cascades, is a favorite meet for the hunt; Glena Cottage, built by the earls of Kenmare for the accommodation of strangers, is situated in the midst of the mos^; enchanting scenery; and Brickeen Bridge spans by a single arch the stream dividing Muckross Peninsula from Brickeen Island. / w Pi < .-t w o p « w w M u Pi pq I KILDARE. NAME. — The to-wn of Kildare took its name from a little cburcli or cell built by St. Brigid, in the end of the 5th century, under a great oak tree. This church, which was the germ round which grew up a great religious establish- ment that flourished for many ages afterward, was called Cill-dara, the church of the oak; and the old oak tree stood there for several hundred years after the time of St. Brigid ; and in mem- ory of her it was held in great veneration. The town gave name to the county. SIZE AND POPULATION.— Greatest length I from north to south, 42 miles; greatest breadth from east to west, along the northern frontier, 26 miles; area, 654 square miles; population, 75,804. SURFACE: HILLS.— Kildare is the levelest county in Ireland. There are some hills over 1,000 feet high in the east margin, which are the mere outskirts of the Wicklow Mountains. To the northwest of Kildare town a low range of heights called the Red Hills, or the Dunmurry Hills, runs from southwest to northeast; the highest, which lies 3 miles northwest of Kildare, has an altitude of only 769 feet; and a little range may be said to be terminated by the round-topped Hill of Allen (676), which is the most remarkable, and which is rendei'ed con- spicuous by a tall pillar on its summit. This hill gives name to the Bog of Allen. Dun Aillinne, or Knockaulin (600), a round hill near Old KilcuUeu, in the southeast of the countj-, is more remarkable for its antiquities than for its elevation. A considerable area of the flat part of the county in the west and northwest is occu- pied by portions of the Bog of Allen. Near the town of Kildare is the Curragh, the finest racing ground in the empire; 6 miles long by 2 miles broad, and containing 4,858 aci'es. It is a gen- tly undulating plain, covered with a fine velvety elastic sward, perpetually green. From the most remote period of Irish history the Curragh has been used as a racecourse, and its impor- tance in old times, maj' be inferred from the numerous raths or forts and other ancient earth- works scattered over its surface. EIVEKS.— The Boyne rises in Trinity Well, at Carbury Hill, in the northwest of the county; flows first through this county, next forms for 3| miles the boundary with Kings County, and then with Meath for 7^ miles, after which it enters this last county. The Liffey, coming from WickloW; enters Kildare near Ballymore Eustace, and just on the boundary tumbles over a series of rock ledges, forming the fine cascade of Pollaphuca; it sweeps in a curve with many windings through Kildare, and enters the county Dublin at Leixlip. Less than half a mile above Leislip it falls over another ledge of rock, and forms the beautiful waterfall of the Salmon Leap. In the west, the Barrow first touches Kildare near Monasterevin, where it forms the boundary with Queens Countj' for a mile ; next crosses a corner of Kildare at Monasterevin for 2 miles; then again runs on the boundary with Queens County for 7| miles; next runs through Kildare for 6 miles, and lastly forms the boundary again with Queens County for 7J miles, when it finally leaves Kildare. Nearly all the other streams of the county are tributaries to the Boyne, the Liffey, and the Barrow. On the north, the Bye "Water flows eastward, partlj- on the boundary with Meath and partly through Kildare, and joins the Liffey at Leixlip. The Lyreen runs to the northeast, and passing by Maynooth, joins the Eye Water a mile below the town. The Blackwater, for the most part a boggy and sluggish stream, rises in Kildare, and flowing to the northwest by Johns- town, forms for about 6 miles the boundary b©= tween Kildare and Meath, after which it enters Meath to join the Boyne. The Garr in the northwest joins the Boyne near Ballyboggan Bridge. The Cushaling, the Crabtree Eiver, and the Black Eivei', all unite on the western boundarj^ of the countj' and form the Figile, which flows first through Kings Count}', then crossing an angle of Kildare, it forms the boun- dary between Kildare and Queens County, till it joins the Barrow beside Monasterevin. The Slate Eiver, rising near Prosperous, flows west- Brackr.dth 7fi /WTJ^ ^^^^^^ i£SJjbnde.

The Cushina, coming from Kings County, and flowing eastward, forms three miles of the boundary between Kildare and Kings County, and joins the Figile just where the lat- ter enters Kildare. The Finnery comes from the west and joins the Barrow 4 miles above Athy. The Greese rises near Dunlavin in Wicklow, and flowing southwest across the southern angle of Kildare, joins the Barrow near the southern extremity of the county. The Lerr, running parallel with the Greese, flows into the Barrow at the southern boundary. TOWNS.— Athy (4,181), in the south of the countj', on the Barrow, a good business town, connected with Waterford by the Barrow and j Suir, and with Dublin hy the grand canal. Higher up on the Barrow is Monasterevin (1,044), beside which is the fine demesne of Moore Abbey. Eathangau (G83), 6 miles nearly due north of Monasterevin, stands on the Slate Kiver. Toward the middle of the county are Kildare, Newbridge, and Naas. Kildare (1,174) was in old times one of Ireland's great religious centers, which is still evidenced by its round tower and fine church ruins standing conspicu- ously on a ridge partlj' occupied by the town. Newbridge (3,372) is on the Liffey, a neat town ■with large military barracks. Naas (3,808) is the assize town, and has much retail trade. In the northeast of the county are Celbridge (988) and Leixlip (741), both on the Liffey, the latter just on the boupdary of the county, in a lovely situation near the waterfall that has given xiame to the town (Leixlip is a Danish word meaning salmon-leap). Near the north margin of the oounty, west of Leixlip, is the neat town of Maynooth (1,278), now remarkable as contain- ing the college for the education of the Koman Catholic priesthood. It contains the ruins of the castle of the Fitzgeralds, earls of Kildare, the ancestors of the Duke of Leiuster, whose fine demesne of Carton lies beside the town. West of Ma3^nooth is Kilcock (721). In the southern end of the county is Castle- aermot (675), on the river Lerr, in which there was in old days an important religious establish- ment, and which now contains a round tower. several crosses, and some beautiful abbey luius. Kilcullen, or Kilcullen Bridge (783), is prettily situated on the Liffey near the southeast margin of the count}' ; a mile and a half south of which is Old Kilcullen, containing the ruins of a round tower, of a monastery, and of some old crosses, the remains of an important ecclesiasti- cal foundation. Ballymore Eustace (629) stands in a very pretty situation on the Liffey, two miles below Pollaphuca waterfall. ANCIENT DIVISIONS AND DESIGNA- TIONS. — The northeast part of the county, viz., the baronies of Salt, Ikeathy and Oughteranny, Clane, and part of those of Naas and Connell, formed the ancient Hy Faelan. Up to the end of the 12th century it was the territory of the O 'Byrnes, who, however, were about that time driven out, and took refuge in the mountain districts of "Wicklow, where they afterward be- came powerful. The southern half of the count}', from the Hil.' of Allen southward (excluding the two baroniet of Offal}'), was the old territory of Hy Murray, which had Hy Faelan on the northeast, Offaly on the northwest, and Leix (see Queens County) on the west. This was the original home of the O'Tooles, who, like the O 'Byrnes, were driveu out by the Anglo-Normans about the end of the 12th century, and settled in Wicklow, in the district lying round the Glen of Imaile, near Ballinglass. The two baronies of East and West Offaly form a portion of the ancient sub-kingdom of Offaly, which also included a portion of Kings and Queens counties. That part of Kildare through which the Liffey flows was formerly called Life or Moy Life, the river dividing it into East Life and West Life. From this plain the present name was given to the Liffey, whose old name was Eurthach. In this county there were anciently three royal residences. The kings of Leiuster lived at Naas till the 10th century, and the great high mound beside the town is the remnant of the old palace. Another palace of the Leiuster kings (namely, Dun-Aillinne) was on the hill of Kuockaulin, near Kilcullen, and the great old circular fortifi- cation of the palace still surrounds the summit of the hill. Perhaps the most noted of the three was the Hill of Allen, anciently called Alma, 5 KILDAEE- miles iKHih T> TOWER CASTLEDERMOT. — This illustration presents one of the finest speci- mens of Ireland's round towers. It is situated in an old cemetezy near a chapel and the rains of a Xorman arch.

In the same county there are other round towers at Kildare, Killaahee, Oughterard, 03 d Kilcnllen and Taghodoe. KILKENNY. NAME. — The city of Kilkennj-, which gave name to the county, received its own name from a church founded by St. Canice, which was called Cill-Chainnigh, the church of St. Canice. St. Canice was abbot of Aghaboe in Queen's County, where he had his principal church ; he died in the year 598. SIZE AND POPULATION.— Greatest length north and south, from the bend of the Suir at Moonveen, west of Waterford city, to the north angle of the county near the village of Clogh, 45 miles; breadth east and west, from the Bar- row, near Graiguenamanagh, to the western boundarj', 23 miles; area 796 square miles; population 99,531. SURFACE: HILLS.— The whole north mar- gin of the county is moderately upland and hilly. The hills that occupy the barony of Fassadiuiu, and the north of the barony of Gowran, are com- monlj' called the Castlecomer Hills, and some- times the Slievemargy Hills, from the adjacent barony of Slievemargy in Queens County, into which they extend. But though the elevations in this northern part of the county are sometimes up to 1,000 feet over the sea level, there are few or no conspicuous hills among them, as they slope very graduallj-, and the plain on which they stand is itself 300 or 400 feet above the sea level. South of the city of Kilkennj', and west of the Nore, extends a great plain diversified with gentle undulations. The eastern part of the county south of the Powerstown Eiver, and also the south part, including the baronies of Iverk and Ida, are also hilly and upland. Near the eastern margin, two miles south of Graigue- namanagh, is Brandon Hiil (1,694), the highest elevation in the whole countj'. The two series of hills covering the north of the barony of Iverk, are commonly called the Booley Hills. All this hilly region is very similar in character to the Castle-comer and Galmoy districts in the north. EIYEKS. — The Nore, coming from Queens County, runs through Kilkenny in a direction generally toward the south-southeast, and pass- ing by Ballyragget, Kilkennj', and Thomastown, joins the Barrow on the east side, 2 miles above New Boss. The Barrow, coming from Carlow, first touches Kilkennj- at Duninga; and from that south to where it enters the Suir at Snow- hill House (about 36 miles following the wind- ings) it forms the eastern boundary of the county. The Suir, coming from the west, first touches the southern end of the county at the mouth of Lingaun Eiver, a mile below Garrick- on-Suir; and from that to the junction of the Barrow (about 22 miles following the windings), it forms the southern boundary. All the other rivers are tributaries, either immediately or ultimately', to these three. Tributaries of the Nore beginning on the north : The Owbeg, coming south from Queens County, forms the boundary between Kilkenny and Queens County for the last 3 miles of its course, and joins the Nore 2 miles above Bally- ragget, receiving the Glashagal just above the junction. The Diniu, noted for its floods (hence the name, meaning Vehement Eiver), comes south from Queens County, and passing b\- Castlecomer, joins the Nore 4 miles above Kilkennj'. One of the tributaries of the Dinin, coming from Queens County and Carlow on the east, is called by the same name, Dinin ; and this Dinin receives from the south the Cool- cullen, which forms a part of the eastern boun- dary. A little lower down there are two other tributaries (of the large Dinin), joining at oppo- site banks, the Muckalee on the left and the Cloghagh on the right. Two miles above the mouth of the Dinin, the Nore is joined on the other bank by the Nuenna, flowing from the west by Freshford. The King's Eiver, flowing eastward from Tipperary through Callan and Kells, joins the Nore 4 miles above Thomastown : a mile above Callin the King's Eiver is joined from the north by the Munster Eiver, which for the greater part of its course forms the boundary between Kilkenny and Tipperary. A little be- low Callan the King's Eiver is joined by the Owbeg from the southwest, and near Kells, by the Glory Eiver from the south, A mile above KILKEXXY.

NAME. — Kings County and Queens County were formed into shire ground in the reign of Philip and Mary, and received their present names in honor of the king and queen. SIZE AND POPULATION.— The county is irregular and broken in shape, and it is not easy to fix on suitable dimensions. Greatest length from the Ollatrim River near Moneygall, at the southwestern corner, to the boundary near Edenderry in the northeast, 52 miles (but the straight line between these extreme points falls, for about halfway, outside the county); breadth from Clonmacnoise on the Shannon to the boundary near Frankford, 19 miles, or from Banagher to Arderin mountain, 17 miles; area 772 square miles; population, 72,852. SURFACE.— The east margin of the great southwestern pi'ojection is mountainous or up- land; in the barony of lower Philipstown in the north there are a few inconsiderable hills. All the rest of the county is flat, and much of it, especially in the northwest, flat without any relief whatever. A considerable part of the Bog of Allen belongs to Kings County; and bogs and morasses — some small, some stretching for miles — cover a large area of the county. The eastern projection and the barony of Garrycastle, in the west, are particulary distinguished by the prevalence of flat bogs and fens. MOUNTAINS AND HILLS.— A considerable section of the Slieve Bloom Mountains lies within the boundary of this county, in the baronj' of Ballybritt; of which the chief sum- mits are Arderin (1,733), on the boundary of Queens County, the highest of the Slieve Bloom range; under which on the north side is the deep Gap of Glendine, one of the two passes leading across the range. (See Queens County, for another pass.) Two miles southwest of Arderin is Farbreague (1,411), also on the boundary. Knocknaman (1,113), standing on the west, detached from the general range, rises over the village of Kinnitty; and between this and Arderin lies Carroll's Hill (1,584). Northeast of these, Wolftrap (l,5b4) stands on the boundary ; and near it on the northwest is Spink (1,087). The rest of the county is such a dead level that trifling elevations count as remarkable hills. Croghan Hill (769) in the north of the county, 4 miles north of Philipstown, rising quite detached in the midst of the great plain, is a conspicuous object, and affords aa immense view from its summit. RIVERS.— The Shannon forms the western boundary for 23 miles. The Little Brosna, com- ing from Tipperary, runs to the northwest through the southwestern extremity of the coun- ty for 7 miles, after which it forms the boun- dary with Tipperary for 13 miles till it falls into the Shannon. Its chief head-water, the Bunow, which flows across the corner of Tipperary by Roscrea, rises in Kings County, northeast of Roscrea, and draws some of its head feeders from Queens County. The Barrow, flowing easterly, forms the south boundary of the eastern extrem- ity for 9 miles, except at the middle of this space —at Portarlington — where a corner of Queens County projects northward to the other side of the river. In the northeast, the Boyne, coming from the east (from Kildare), forms the boun- dary for nearly 4 miles. West of this the Yellow River, coming from the interior of Kings County, and joining the Boyne, forms the boun- dary for the last 3 miles of its course; and west of this again the Mongagh (which joins the Yellow River) is the boundarj' for 5 or 6 miles. The southwest corner is bounded and separated from Tipperary for 2| miles by the Ollatrim River. All the streams of the interior of the county are tributaries, either immediately or re- motely to the foregoing. In the northwest the Blackwater drains a large area of the bogs of the barony of Garry- castle, and joins the Shannon 3 miles below Shannon Bridge. A little south of this the Brosna, coming from Westmeath, flows toward the southwest through Kings County for about KINGS. 26 miles, paasing bj' Clara and Ferbane, and joins the Shannon near Shannon Bi'idge, 2 miles above Banagher. The Brosua has the following affluents belonging wholly or partly to this connty: The Gageborough Kiver, coming from th^ north, joins just a mile below Clara. The Clodiagh, coming from Queens County, enters Kings County at Monettia Bog, and flowing northwest joins the Brosna 2 miles below Bally- cumber. The Clodiagh itself is joined by the TuUamore Kiver, which flows west through Tul- lamore and joins two miles below the town, and by the Silver Eiver, from the northeast, Avhich joins the Clodiagh a little above the mouth of the latter. Another Silver Eiver flows from the Slieve Bloom Mountains, first westerly through Frankford and then northward, and joins the Brosna a little above Ferbane ; and the Boora, running northward from Lough Boora, also joins the Brosna 2 miles above the mouth of the Silver Kiver. In the extreme south, the Camcor flows west- ward from Slieve Bloom through Birr or Par- sonstown, and joins the Little Brosna half a mile below the town. In the eastern part of the county, the Figile flows southward through Clonbulloge; then crossing a corner of Kildare, forms for a little way the boundary between Kings County and Kildare, till it joins the Barrow near Monas- terevin. The Figile is joined from the west by the Cushina (which flows first through Kings County and afterward forms the boundary for 3 miles between it and Kildare), and from the east by the Slate Eiver, coming from Kildare. Higher up the Philipstown Eiver flows eastward through Philipstown and joins the Figile at Clonbulloge. LAKES. — Lough Boora, half a mile in length, lies a little north of Frankford ; Lough Coura lies nearly midway between this and Birr, and is about a mile in length ; Lough Annaghmore is on the boundary, east of Frankford, and is about the same size as the last; Pallas Lough, north- east of Frankford, is a mile in length, and very narrow ; Lough Fin, nearlj' circular, and half a mile across, lies near the Shannon at the north- western boundary. TOWNS.— Tullamore (5,098), on the TuUa- more Kiver, the assise town, is an excellent busi- ness center: east of which is Philipstown (829), on the Grand Canal, and near the Philipstown Kiver. Birr or Parsonstown (4,955) stands ou the Camcor Eiver, just where it enters the Little Brosna; beside it stands Parsonstown Castle^ where are some of the finest reflecting telescopes in the world, erected by Lord Eoss. Edenderry (1,555) is on the east margin, near the Boyre, and not far from the northeast extremity of a branch of the Bog of Allen ; and on the Shannon, in the west, is Banagher (1,192). Clara (956), in the north of the county, is watered by the Brosna; Frankford (559) lies near the middle of the southeast boundary, on the Silver Eiver. In the southwest projection is Shinrone (448), and near the very extremity, just beside the boun- dary of Tipperary, is Monegall (376). That portion of Portarlington lying in Kings County contains a population of 842. ANCIENT DIVISIONS AND DESIGNA- TIONS.— The old territory of Ely O 'Carroll— the inheritance of the O'Carrolls — included the southwest portion of this county, viz., the baro- nies of Bally britt and Conlisk ; but it also ex- tended into Tipperary. This whole territory was in old times counted part of Munster, though the Kings County portion of it is now in Leinster. A part of Ely O 'Carroll — coextensive with the barony of Ballybritt — was called Kinel Farga, and was held by the O 'Flanagans. The old district of Fircall included the pres- ent baronies of Eglish, Balb'boy, and Bally- cowan. It was the territory of the O'Molloys, and was included in the ancient province of Meath. There were several territories called Delvin in different parts of Leinster and Con- naught; one of which, Delvin-Ethra or Delvin- Mac Coghlan, was in this county; it was nearly coextensive with the baronj' of Garrycastle, and was the patrimony of the family of Mac Coghlan. The barony of Kilcoursey was the old Munter- Tagan, the district of the O'Caharneys, Sinachs, or Foxes. The barony of Upper Philipstown formed part of Clanmaliere, the country of the O'Dempseys, which also extended into Oueens County. On a high bank over the Shannon, 9 miles be- low Athlone, is Clonmacnoise, one of the great- est, if not the very greatest, of all the ancient religious establishments of Ireland. It was founded by St. Ciaran (or Kieran) in the 6th century, and flourished for many ages afterward. KINGS. It -was adopted as the burying place of the kings of Ireland belonging to the southern Hy Neill race; and numberless kings and chiefs retired to it to spend their old age in meditation and prayer. Even to this day it is the most cele- brated and the most frequently used of all the ancient cemeteries of Ireland. It contains the ruins of many churches (popularly called the "Seven Churches"), two round towers, old crosses, and many ancient tombs. II.LTJSTRA.TIO]Sr. BIRR CASTLE.— This edifice is one of the most interesting in Ireland from its romantic and historical associations. Birr derives its name from Biorra, an ancient abbey, founded by St. Bi-endan. A great battle was fought there in the 3d century between Cormac, son of Con of the Hundred Battles and the people of Mun- ster. The district originally formed a part of Ely O'Carroll, and the castle was the seat of the O'Carroll chieftains. It was "granted" by King Henry II. to Philip de Worcester, but its owners defended their territory so vigorously and per- 1 sistently that it frequently alternated between its English and Irish masters. It was not in- cluded in Kings County until the reign of James I. That monarch assigned it to Laurence Par- sons, brother of Sir William Parsons, surgeon- general. Cromwell attacked it, and his son-in- law Ireton took it in 1650, and it was again beseiged in the Jacobite war of 1688-90. It has been noted in recent years as the residence of the Earl of Ross — -descendant of the Parsons — famed for his astronomical pursuits, and his great reflecting telescope. The castle has been renovated so often that it is practically a modern structure. LEITRIM NAME. — The county took its name from the village of Leitrim, near the Shannon, 4 miles above Carrick-on-Shaunon. The Gaelic form of the name is Liath-druim (pron. Leedrim), sig- nifying gray ridge (liath, grey ; druim, a ridge or long hill) ; and there are more than forty places of the name in Ireland. SIZE AND POPULATION.— The county consists of two parts, almost wholly separated from one another by Lough Allen. The north- west part touches the sea, having a coast of 2J miles on Donegal Bay. The greatest length of the two parts taken together, from Donegal Bay to the southern extremity near Drumlish in Longford, is 51 miles; breadth of the northwest part, from the boundary near Ballintogher in Sligo to Upper Lough Macnean, 17 miles; breadth of the southeast part, from Lough Boderg to the boundary near Killygar, 18 miles; area, 613 square miles; population, 90.372. SUKFACE.— The northern half of the county is all mountainous or hilly, with the exception of a narrow east-and-west belt extending in breadth horn Donegal Bay to Lough Melvin and the river DuK. The north part of the other half, viz., that part east of Lough Allen, is mountainous, being occupied bj' a portion of that mountain group that (jovers also the northwest projection of Car an. The south part, viz., tt)e barony of Mchill, and the southern portions of the baro- nies of CaiTigallen and Leitrim, is moderately level, but in many places i.t is interrupted by low heights and ridges. MOUNTAINS AND HILLS.— The most -Re- markable mountain in the whole jounty is Slieve Anierin (1,922), whose summit is 2| miles east of the shore of Lough Allen ; a little northeast of which is Bencroy (1,707). Slievenakilla (1,793), east of the head of Lough Allen, stands on the boundary with Cavan. In the northwest portion c' the county there is an endless succession of summits of all heights up to 1,700 feet. Two miles west of Manorhamilton is the conspicuous j mountain of Benbo (1,365). The summit of Truskmore (2,113) is in Sligo, but a part of its eastern slope extends into Leitrim. EIVERS. — The Shannon, coming from Cavan, forms the boundary for a mile and a half; then crossing the narrow neck connecting the two parts of Leitirm for another mile and a half, it enters Lough Allen; and from that down to a point a little below Roosky, a distance of about 35 miles (following the larger windings) it forms the western boundary of the county. On the northeast, the stream flowing from Upper Lough Macnean to Lough Melvin — called the Kilcoo River in the lower half of its course — forms the boundary between Leitrim and Fermanagh. The river Drowes has a course of 4 miles from Lough Melvin to Donegal Bay, the first mile of which is in Leitrim, and the last three Is iile boundary between Leitrim and Donegal. This little river is mentioned in Gaelic records as having from the most ancient times separated Connaught from Ulster, and it still continues the boundary between the two provinces. The Kiico River receives the Lattone from the Leitrim side ; and near it on the west are the Ballagh River and Glenaniff River, both flowing into the head of Lough Melvin. North of Lough Melvin, the Bradoge, :3owing to the west from Ferma- nagh, forms for 2 miles the boundary between Leitrim and Donegal, after which it enters Dongel. In the extreme northwest the Duff (called the Black River in the early part of its course), forms the boundary between Leitrim and Sligo for 2 miles ; then crosses Leitrim for 2 miles; and lastly, forms again the boundary be- tween the same two counties for a mile, till it enters Donegal Bay. South of this the Diffreen runs west into Glencar Lake. The Bonet rises in Glenade Lake, in the barony of Rosclogher, and flows first southeast through Glenade, one of the most beautiful val- leys in the whole district; then gradually curv- ing, it passes by Drumahaire and falls into MAIN STREET, MOHILn MAIN STREET, CARRICK-ON-SHANNON- LEITRLM. Lough Gill, floAving through a succession of lovely landscapes through its whole course. The Owenmare or Seardan passes through Man- orhamilton, and falls into the Bouet a mile below the town. To the north of Lough Allen the Owenayle, flowing southward, forms the eastern boundary (between Leitrim and Cavan) for 4| miles till it falls into Shannon. The Yellow Eiver rises in the glens between Bencroy and Slievenakila, and flows westward into Lough Allen ; and the Stony River runs down the side of Slieve Anierin into the same lake. On the west side, Lough Allen receives the Diffagher River and the Owengar, ■which unite and flow into the northwest corner of the lake. The Arigna flows to the southeast for several miles on the boundary between Lei- trim and Sligo, after v.'hich it enters the county Roscommon, and ultimately falls into the Shan- non where it issues from Lough Allen. South- east of Lough Allen, the Aghacashlaun flows southward down the slopes of Bencroy Mountain and into Lough Scur, the overflow of which is poured into the Shannon at the village of Lei- trim. Near this on the east, the Yellow River flows south and east, by the village of Ballina- m'^re into Garadice Lough. LAKES. — Leitrim, like the neighboring coun- ties of Fermanagh, Cavan, and Roscommon, is dotted all over with lakes. Lough Allen, in the middle (a small part of which belongs to Ros- common), is 8^ miles long and 3 miles broad at its north or widest end. It is nearly surrounded with hills, so that it occupies the bottom of a basin, down the slopes of which rivers pour into the lake from every side. The following lakes lie round the margin of the county, beginning on the north and going from left to right: Lough Melvin and Upper' Lough Macnean have been spoken of in Fer- managh; Derrycassan Lake (part of which be- longs to Cavan), from which the Woodford River in Cavan issues; Glasshouse Lake, also on the boundary with Cavan. Passing over several small lakes we come to those on the Shannon, viz.. Lough Bofin and Lough Boderg. Lastly, Lough Gill, Glencar Lake, and Cloonty Lake, all which are mentioned in Sligo. The chief lakes in the interior are: in the iiwrth part of the county the lovely Glenade Lake, a little over a mile in length, occupying the head of a fine valley, which is traversed by the Bouet River issuing from the lake. The small lake of Munakill lies near Manorhamilton; and the larger lake of Belhavel is east oi Druma- haire. In the interior of the southern part of the county, Garadice Lough, or Lough Finvoy, a very beautiful sheet of water, 2^ miles in length, lies near the east margin. Lough Rinn, near Mohill, is 3 miles in length; Lough Scur, a mile and a half long, and the smaller lake of Carrickaport, both lie southeast of Drumshambo; east of these is the irregularly shaped St. John's Lake, about 2 miles in length. The small lakes scattered over this southern portion of the county are numerous beyond description. TOWNS.— Carrick-on-Shannon (1,384), the assize town, Mohill (1,117), and Baliinamore (526), are all in the southern division of the county. In the center of the northern division is Manorhamilton (1,225), standing in the midst of a lovely country ; and at the south corner of Lough Allen is Drumshanbo (544). MINERALS. — Lough Allen occupies the cen- ter of the great Connaught coal disL ict, a con- siderable portion of which belongs to Leitrim. There are aoal pits in several places round the lake, especially at and near Slieve Anierin, the coal be^'ng raised for smelting purposes. What is called the Arigna iron district belongs partly to Leitrim, and partly to the county Roscom- mon. Iron ore abounds on Slieve Anierin, and the mines were worked for a long period. The very name of the mountain shows that the pres- ence of iron was known ages ago, when the name was imposed; for Slieve-an-ierin signifies the "Mountain of iron." ANCIENT DIVISIONS AND DESIGNA- TIONS. — This county was formerly called Brefny O'Rourke; it was the principality of the O'Rourkes, and from the same familj' the village of Drumahaire was often called Bally -O'Rourke. Brefny O'Rourke included also a part of the northwest extremitj' of Cavan. The barony of Rosclogher was formerly, and is still, known by the name of Dartry ; and was possessed by the family of Mac Clancy. The southern or level part of the county, the territory of the Mao Rannalls, or Reynolds, was called Moy Rein, and often Muiiter Eolais. LIME RICK. NAME. — The Gaelic form is Luimneacb (pron. Limnagb), which was formerly applied to a por- tion of the Shannon, and thence to the citj- (like Dublin, Sligo, Galway, etc.). But Luimneacb must have been originally applied to a piece of land (probably on King's Island, on which part of the city now stands), for it meaus a "bare spot" (from lorn., bare, with the jiosttix neach), and there are several other places in Leland bearing the same name, variously modernized Limerick, Limnagh, Lumnagh, Lomanagh, Lum- ney, etc. SIZE AND POPULATION.— Greatest length from the bend of the river Feale, 2 miles south- west of Abbeyfeale in the west, to the boundary at Galtymore in the east, 50 miles; greatest breadth from Montpelier on the Shannon in the north, to the Ballyhoura Hills on the southern border, 33 miles; average breadth, about 23 miles; area, 1,064 square miles; population, 180,- 632. SUEFACE. — The northeastern corner lying east of the Shannon and Limerick city is moun- tainous, covered by a continuation of that Tip- perary group whose principal summit is Keeper Hill. The southeast corner, namely, the greater part of the barony of Coshlea, is also mountain- ous, being occupied hy a continuation of the Salty range (the whole range extending west to Charleville) and by other hills not immediately connected with the Galtys. The whole western part of the county lying west of Eathkeale and Dromcolliher is a continued succession of hills and uplands. All the center of the county is a great plain, almost surrounded by the mountain bul- warks above mentioned The plain is broken up domewhat toward its borders by ridges and de- tached hills, but is very flat in the middle, and also toward the Shannon on the north. This plain contains the finest land in Ireland; and that part of it sweeping round by Hospital, Kil- mallock, and Bruree, is a portion of the district called from its richness the "Golden Vale," which stretches eastward into Tipperary toward Cashel. MOUNTAINS AND HILLS.— In the north- east, separated from the Tipperary Mountains on the north by the narrow vale of the Clare Eiver, the Slievefelim Mountains, or Slieve Eelim (sometimes also called the Twelve Hills of Evlinn), run east and west through the north part of the barony of Owneybeg, the chief sum- mits being Cullaun (1,523), toward the east end; and about 3 miles east of this again rises the de- tached mountain, Kuockastanna (1,467), sepa- rated from Cullaun by the valley of the BJboa Eiver. In the southeast the Ballyhoura Mountains run east and west for about 6 miles on the bor- ders of Limerick and Cork. The principal sum- mits are Seefiu (1,702), rising straight over the village and valley of Glenasheen, and having on its south side the pretty mountain glen of Lyre- na-Grena. Near Seefin on the northwest is Blackrock (1,696), with a great precipice on its northeastern face; and 3 miles to the west is Carron (1,469), on the boundary of Cork and Limerick. Immediately east of Seefin is Knockea (1,311), east of which again is the fine detached mountain of Knockeenuamroanta (1,319); between which and Knockea is the ancient pass of Barnaderg, now called Eedchair, leading from the plain of Limerick to the plain of Cork. At the north side of the valley, over the village of Ballyorgan, is the sharp peak of Barnageeha (1,196). Five miles from the Ballyhoura Mountains to the northeast is Slievereagh (1,439), lying north- east of Kilfinane, and overlooking toward the north the rich plain of the "Golden Vale." The Ballyhoura Mountains are a continuation to the west of the Gaity Mountains, a grand range, the western part of which belongs to Limerick, and the eastern part to Tipperary, the highest sum- LIMEKICK. mit ot tlie whole range, Galtymore (3,015), staudiug on the boundary. In tbe extreme southwest the MuUaghareirk Mountains run east and west, the ^Yestern part in Limerick and the eastern part in Cork, or partly on the boundary. The chief summits belonging to Limerick are Knockanade (1,070), and Knockawarriga (1,007) ; 4| miles east of Knocka- nade is Mullaghanuish (1,189). In the western part of the countj' the chief summits are Knockanimpaha (1,132), Sugar Hill (1,090), and Barnagh Hill (907), all near each other, and about 4 miles west of Newcastle. Near the extreme western boundary is Knocka- thea (801). Several detached hills rise from the level part of the county; for instance, round Lough Gur, near Bruff, are a number of beautiful hills; and in the baronies of Clanwilliam and Connagh in the northeast, round the villages of Pallas Grean and Caherconlish, the country is broken up by a series of lovely pastoral hills. The most re- markable hill of this kind is Knockfeerina (949), 2 miles east of Ballingarry, overlooking the whole plain of Limerick ; it has a great earn on its summit; and both mountain and earn are celebrated in fairy legends. Tory Hill, a milo and a half northeast of Croom, though only 374 feet high, is a striking feature in the midst of the great plain around it. COAST LINE.— From Limerick city down to Xoynes the Limerick shore of the Shannon is low, except indeed that Aughinish Island rises to the height of 105 feet. Foynes Island is 196 feet high, and from that downward is a succes- sion of bluffs fiom 100 to upward of 300 feet over the river. There is a succession of mansions and demesnes the whole way down from Limer- ick to Tarbert, rendering the coast very beauti- ful as viewed from the Shannon. ISLANDS. — Foynes Island is nearly circular, and about a mile in diameter, with the pretty village of Foynes opposite it on the mainland, the terminus of the railway from Limerick. Near this on the east is the larger island of Aughinish, separated from the mainland by a very narrow channel. King's Island at Lim- merick, surrounded by two branches of the Shannon, is a mile in length, and is partly cov- ered by the city. RIVERS. — The Shannon first touches Limerick a mile above O'Briensbridge, and from this down to Tarbert, a distance of 48 miles, following the windings of tbe shore, it forms the boundary of the county, except for 6 miles partly above and partly below Limerick city, where a small por- tion of Limerick county lies on the right bank of the river. A little below Limerick the river becomes very wide, and from that down to its mouth it is a noble estuary, fully deserving Spenser's description, "The spacious Shenan spreading like a sea." With some trifling ex- ceptions, which will be noticed, the whole of the county Limerick is drained into the Shannon. In the northeast of the county the Mulkear (or Mulkern as it is sometimes called), joins the Shannon about halfway between Limerick city and Castleconnell. The Mulkear is formed by the following tributaries : From the north the Newport River comes from Tipperary, having in the early part of its course among the Tipper- ary Hills, the same name as the main stream — Mulkear; the Annagh River joins the Newport River, and the combined stream falls into the Mulkear near Barrington's Bridge (this com- bined stream during its short course of less than three miles having two diffei-ent names in succes- sion as it flows along) ; the Annagh or Clare River, as it is called in the early part of its course, flowing westward under the north base of the Slievefelim Mountains, and forming a part of the boundary between Limerick and Tipper- ary. The Bilboa River, the Dead River, and the Cahernahallia River, all of which rise in Tipper- ary, are the chief headwaters of the Mulkear. West of the Mulkear the little river Groody falls into the Shannon a little above Limerick city; and the Ballynaclogh River about the same dis- tance below the city. On the north bank of the Shannon, 3 miles below the city, the Crompaun River forms for its whole course the boundary between Limerick and Clare. The Maigue rises near Milford, in Cork (west of Charleville, and running north for about 2 miles, touches Limerick) ; then turning eastward it runs for a short distance partly on the boun- dary of Cork and Limerick, and partly in Limer- ick; next turns north, and flowing by Bruree, Croom and Adare, through the magnificent plain of Limerick, joins the Shannon 9 miles below LIMERICK. Limerick city. The Maigue has the following tributaries; the Loobah rises in Slievereagh, northeast of Kilfinnane, and winding westward by Kilmallock, joins the Maigue a mile and a half above Bruree. The Morning Star rises be- tween Ballylanders and Galbally (in the barony of Coshlea), and flowing to the northwest, falls into the Maigue two miles below Bruree.- The Camoge comes from that part of Tipperary lying near Knocklong, in the east of Limerick, pass- ing by KnockJong and receiving the Mahore as tributary (which runs through Hospital), it turns westward and joins the Maigue a mile above Croom. Toward the mouth, the Maigue receives the Barnakyle Eiver from the east. The Deel rises in Cork, 2 or 3 miles south of Milford (near the source of the Maigue), runs in a general direction to the north, and leaving Newcastle a mile to the west, it flows through Rathkeale and Askeaton, and joins the Shannon a mile below this last town. Above Newcastle it receives the Bunoke on the west bank, and the Owenskaw on the east, and near Newcastle it is joined on the left bank by the Daar, and by the combined streams of the Ehernagh, the Dooally, and the Arra, these two last joining at Newcastle. West of the Deel, the Shannon is joined by the Eobertstown River at Foynes, by the White River at Loghill, and by the Glin Eiver at Glin. In the southwest, the Feale, rising in Cork, forms the boundary between Limerick and Kerry for 7 miles, after which it enters Kerry. From Limerick, the Feale receives as tributaries, the Allaghaun, rising in the Mullaghareirk Moun- tains; the Oolagh, which rises in Sugar Hill, west of Newcastle; and the Galey, which draws its headwaters from Knockanimpaha and the uplands round it, but enters Kerry before join- ing the Feale. Of the southeast corner of the county a por- tion is drained into the basin of the Suir, and a small part into that of the Blackwater. The Aherlow River flows by Galbally, then runs for 3 miles on the boundary between Limerick and Tipperary, after which it enters Tipperary to join the Suir. The Funshion, flowing first south- ward down the slope of Galtj'more, separates Limerick from Tipperary for 5 or 6 miles, then turning westward at the junction of the three counties, it forms the boundary between Limer- ick and Cork for 5 miles, after which it enters Cork to join the Blackwater. From Limerick the Funshion receives at Kilbeheny, the Betha- nagh (Spenser's Molana), flowing south from a deep glen in theGaltys; and further on to the west, the Ahaphuca River and the Keale River (flowing by Bally organ) join at the bridge of Ahaphuca, on the boundary of Limerick and Cork, after which the united stream is called the Ownnageeragh or Sheep River, which forms the boundarj' of the two counties for half a mile, and then enters Cork to join the Funshion. LAKES. — The only lake of any consequence in the whole county is Lough Gur, 3 miles north of Bruff. It is upward of a mile in length, and irregular in shape, surrounded hy lovely hills; and on its islands and round its shores there are numbers of most interesting remains of antiquity — castles, cromlechs, sepulchral chambers, stone circles, and circular raths or forts. TOWNS.— Limerick (38,562), a very ancient city, built on a plain, part being on the King's Island, but the chief portion on the mainland. It contains many interesting remains of antiq- uity, among them being the old cathedral founded in the 12tb century, and rebuilt in the 15th; King" Joiin's Castle ; and a portion of the old town walls. Three miles southwest of Limerick are the remains of the ancient priory of Mungret, an establishment of great antiquity ; it was formerly a celebrated center of learning, and is said to have had at one time 1,500 monks. Above Limerick, on the Shannon, is Castleconnell (330), in a lovely situation near the falls of Dunass (see Clare), with the fine old castle of the O'Briens on a rock in the village. The lovely little town of Glin (842) stands on the Shannon shore, near the northwest corner of the county. Towns on the Maigue and its tributaries: Adare (561) is situated 7 miles in a straight line from the mouth of the Maigue, a very pretty village, with interesting ruins of abbeys, churches, and castles in and near it, and having the Earl of Dunraven's beautiful residence, Adare Manor, beside it. Six miles below Adare, near the mouth of the Maigue, is the old castle of Carrigogunnel, one of the most singular ruins in the country, perched on the top of an abrupt rock overlooking the rich plain all round. Croom (747) stands 5 miles above Adare, beside LIMERICK. which is Croom Castle, one of the strongholds of the Fitzgeralds, from wL.ch they took their war cry of Crom-Aboo ; two miles east of Croom is Monasteraneuagh Abbej', one of the finest eccle- siastical ruins in Ireland; and one mile west of the town are the very ancient church ruin and round tower of Dysert. Bruree (472) is 8 miles above Croom. Hospital (667), in the east of the county, stands on the Mahore, one of the head streams of the river Caraoge. On the Morning Star is Bruff (1,600); and near the source is tlie village of Ballylanders (438). On the Loobagh is Kilmallock (1,027). The town rose round a monastery founded in the 6th century by St. Mochelloo or Mallock. In after ages it was the capital of the Fitgeralds, Earls of Desmond; and it is now the most interesting town in Ireland for its remains of antiquity. There are still two fine castellated gateway's in good preservation, with a considerable portion of the old town walls. The abbej' of SS. Peter and Paul stands ■within the town, and a portion of it is still used for divine service. The Dominican friary is situated beside the river a little to the northeast of the town, a very fine old ruin, containing a pointed window, the most beautiful in Ire- land. Along the street of the town many of the ancient houses still remain fitted iip as modern dwellings. Near the source of the Loobagh ic Kilfinane (1,398), on the slope of a hill overlook- ing the great plain of Limerick, a good business town, with an ancient triple-fossed fort of great size beside it. Two miles from Kilfinane toward the west is the green round hill of Ardpatrick having on its summit a burying ground, with the ruins of a very ancient abbey church and a portion of a round tower. Balliugarry (795) stands on a stream that joins the Maigue on the left bank a mile below Adare. Towns on the Deel and its tributaries: Two miles from the mouth is Askeaton (891), with beautiful abbey ruins, and an ancient castle of the Earls of Desmond on a high rock; beside the town the Deel tumbles over a ridge of rocks, forming a pretty waterfall. Seven miles south- west of Askeaton, near the village of Shana- golden, is a little hill with two peaks, one of which is crowned with the fine old ruins of Shanid Castle, from which the Knights of Glin took their war cry, Shanid-Aboo; the other peak has an ancient circular fort on its summit. Higher up on the Deel is Rathkeale (2,549), which is, next to Limerick, the most important town in the county. Newcastle (2,186) stands on the Arra within a mile of the confluence of this little river with the Deel, another important and prosperous town. Dromcolliher (638) stands near the boundary of Coi'k, on a smal stream, one of the headwaters of the Deel. In the west of the county, Abbeyfeale (965) stands on the Feale, where it separates Limerick from Kerry; the town took its name from an abbey founded in the 12th century, the fine ruins of which still remain beside the river. In the northeast, Cappamore (954) stands on the Bilboa River. MINERALS. — The mountainous district in the west of the county is a part of the great Munster coalfield, and coal is raised for local purposes in several places. About 7 miles from Limerick, on the road to Askeaton, there are quarries of fine marble of a reddish brown color. ANCIENT DIVISIONS AND DESIGNA- TIONS.^ — All that part of Limerick lying west of the Maigue, together with the barony of Coshma (lying chiefly east of the river), was called Hy Fidgente or Hy Carbery. It was the territory of the O 'Donovans, who were driven out of it in 1178, and fled to Cork and Kerry. The present barony of Small Countj' was the ancient Deis- Beg. In this district is the hill now called Knockainy (with the village of Knockainy at its foot), formerly called Aine, or Aine-Clich, from the territory of Cliach or Ara-Cliach, which lay round the hill. That part of the barony of Coshlea lying between Knocklong and the south- ern boundary near Ballyorgan, was the old dis- trict of Cliu Mail. OlioU Olum, king of Munster in the 2d cen- tury, had his jialace at Bruree, whence it got its name, Brugh-righ, the brugh or fort of the king. It continued to be a royal seat for ages after- ward, for the O'Douovans, chiefs of Hy Fidgente, had their principal residence there; and there are still remaining extensive raths or forts, the fortifications of the old palace. The tomb of Olioll Olum — a great cromlech — stands on a hill near the church of Duntryleague, between Gal- bally and Knocklong in this county. The following baronies still retain the names LIMERICK. of the ol5 territories from ^vhich they were formed: Coonagh, the district of Hy Cuanach; Owneybeg is Uaithne (pron. Oona); the baro- nies of Conuello represent Hy Conall Gavara ; and Kenry is the old Caenarighe (pron. Kain-ree). The round green hill of Knocklong, now ciowned with the ruins of a castle and of a church, was the ancient Drum-Davary. In the 3d century Cormac Mac Art, king of Ireland, marched southward to exuct tribute from Mun- ster; and he was opposed by Fiacha Mullahan, king of the province, who encamped his army on Drum Davary, Cormac's armj' being on the opposite hill — Slieve Claire, now Sleive Eeagh. After a series of battles Cormac was repulsed; and Drum Davary thenceforward and to the present day retains the name of Knocklong, c the hill of the encampment. ILLUSTRATIONS. THE TREATY STONE.— It was on this his- toric stone, celebrated iu song and story, that the famous "Treaty of Limerick" was signed be- tween the Irish and the Williamites, when the city of Limerick had capitulated, after one of the most heroic defenses in history. But it was infamously broken "ere the ink wherewith 'twas writ could dr.v." The treaty consisted of two parts, civil and military, and both were violated. Hence Limerick has since borne the title of "The City of the Violated Treaty." Even iu the very place where the treaty was agreed to and signed it was most flagrantly repudiated, and the atrocious Penal Laws were most rigorously applied. It was the memory of this infamous treachery that inspired the Irish regiments when at the battle of Fontenoy they swept the English from the field to the cry, in the Irish tongue, "Remember Limerick and English faith. " The Treaty Stone was placed in its present position on a fine pedestal, near the foot of Thomond Bridge, b-- the municipal authorities some years ago. THE SARSFIELD STATUE.-Few names in Irish history are more fondly cherished by "the sea-divided Gael" than that of Gen. Patrick Sarsfield, the commander of the Irish forces at the siege of Limerick. He was not a great diplomat or commander, like Hugh O'Neill, nor can he be said to have evinced genius of a high order in any respect, but he was the impersona- tion of honor, chivalry, courage and patriotism, in a word an epitome of the best qualities of the Irish race. His mother was a sister of the cele- brated Roger, or Rory O 'Moore, of 1641 fame; while on his paternal side, as his name implies, he was of Anglo-Norman blood. His heroic defense of Limerick; his dashing exploit in destroying King William's artillery train; his subsequent career in France, where with his troop he laid the foundation of the famous Irish Brigades, and his death of wounds received at the battle of Landen are familiar to all readers of Irish history. The magnificent monument here shown was erected in 1881, largely through the instrumentality of the late patriotic Bishop Butler, of Limerick. ADARE ABBEY. -^Adare, one of the most beautiful places in the province of Munster, is rich in ancient archaeological remains, among them those of several religious houses. Of these a number are situated within the beautiful park of the Earl of Dunraven, including the Black Abbey herewith shown. It was built in 1279 by John, first Earl of Kildare. ' ' Nearby is a castle of the Desmonds, which "much incommoded the English," during the Elizabethan wars. The ruins of some of these were I'epaired by the late Earl of Dunraven, a well-known antiquarian, so completely as to secure them for centuries to come. One of them he appropriated to the Protestant service, and another, the monastery of the Holy Trinity, or Black Abbey, for Catho- lic worship. It consists of a nave and choir, and is surmounted by an embattled tower, still iu an excellent state of preservation. KING JOHN'S CASTLE AND THOMOND BRIDGE. — This massive and gloomy structure was erected in 1205 by King John, son of Henry II., and "lord of Ireland." Commanding the only entrance to Limerick over the Shannon it was for centuries the object of contending parties in the various wars, and the marks of cannon balls that its walls bear, give evidence of its LIMEEICK. Btrength, and the sieges and battles of which it •was the center. It was one of the strongest for- tresses erected by the Normans, and is still for- midable looking and solid. About a century ago the battlements were dismantled. The seven towers are connected by massive and high walls. The interior is at present used as a barracks. Thomond Bridge, shown in the engraving, occu- pies the place of the old bridge, also built by King John and taken down in 1838. The cele- brated Treaty of Limerick was signed on a large stone near the old bridge, on the Clare side of the river. ASKEATON ABBEY.— Askeaton Abbey, like most of the ruins of the old castles, abbeys and churches in the county of Limerick had its ®igin in the wealth and power of the Desmonds, the noble Geraldine princes. It was founded m 1420 by James, seventh Earl of Desmond, for conventual Franciscans, and in 1490 was re- formed by the Observantine friars. A chapter of the order was held in the sacred edifice in 1564. After the overthrow of the Desmond power in the reign of Elizabeth, the abbey shared the general fate of the Irish monasteries. An unsuccessful effort to restore it was made by the confederated Catholics in 1648; and though it has since been left to decay, it is, still in a fair state of preservation. The windows, archesj and other portions of the structure attest its for- mer beauty and grandeur. The transept con- tains many ancient tombs, among them that of James, fifteenth Earl of Desmond, who died, 1558. SARSFIELD STATUE, LIMERICK. LOUTH. NAME. — The county took its name from the village of Louth; the old form of the name is Lughmhagh (pron. Loova), of which the mean- ing is uncertain. SIZE AND POPULATION.— Louth is the smallest county in Ireland. Length, from the boundary south of Drogheda to the boundary a little north of Eavensdale, 29 miles; breadth variable — average 12 or 13 miles; area 316 square miles; population 77,684. SUKFACE.— The whole of the peninsula be- tween Dundalk Baj' and Carlingford Lough is covered with mountains except two or three miles of the poiut, and two narrow strips at the sides; these mountains being the continuation of those Armagh mountains that culminate in Slieve Gullion. In the south a range of low heights runs east and west, extending from the interior of Meath across the boundary near Col- Ion, and terminating in Clogher Head. All the rest of the county, viz., from the neighborhood of Collon and Ardee northward to Dundalk, and taking in the whole breadth of the county, is a dead level, well inhabited and highly culti- vated. MOUNTAINS AND HILLS.— The mountains that occupy the Carlingford or Cooley peninsula are often called the Cooley Mountains. Of these, Anglesey (1,349) lies on the boundary; south of this is Clermont Carn (1,674); on the southern border is Slieve Naglogh (1,024) ; on the north border Carlingford Mountain (1,935) rises straight over Carlingford, at the west side; and near this again on the south side of Carling- ford is Barnavave (1,142). In the south of the county there is nothing deserving the name of a mountain ; but some of the heights are remarkable by comparison. Be- ginning at the west, White Mountain (519) lies near the boundary with Meath ; Mount Oriel (744) stands one mile northwest of Collon; and the last elevation of any consequence is Castlecoo Hill (346,) near the coast, a mile and a half north of the village of Termonfeckin, the range terminating two miles further on in Clogher Head. COAST-LINE.— Round the whole of the Car- lingford peninsula there is a narrow belt of coast, for the most part level ; but the hills rise up im- mediately behind, giving the coast on the whole a mountainous character. From Dundalk Bay south to Clogher Head the shore is low and sandy. Clogher Head is high and rocky;' but south of this the coast again assumes the sandy character, as far as the mouth of the Boyne. HEADLANDS.— Greenore Point, two miles east of Carlingford, is now the terminus of a rail- way; Ballagan Point is the extremity of the Carlingford peninsula, southwest of this is Cooley Point; Dunany Point is the southern limit of Dundalk Bay; and Clogher Head is a scarped promontory 183 feet high, the terminat- ing point of the range of heights running east- ward through the barony of Ferrard. BAYS AND HARBORS.— Carlingford Bay lies between Down and Louth; Dundalk Bay is about 9 miles across the mouth from Dunany Point to Cooley Point, and about the same in depth; off which, on the north, is Dundalk Harbor. RIVERS.— In the Carlingford peninsula the Big River and the Little River flow southward through a fiue valley, and joining together their united waters take the name of the Piedmont River, flowing into Dundalk Bay west of Coolej' Point. The Kilcurry River, the Cully "Water, and the Castletown River, all coming from Armagh, unite and flow into Dundalk Harbor. The Fane, coming from Monaghan, flows across the county and enters Dundalk Bay at Lurgan Green. The Glyde also crosses Louth, and flow- ing by Castlebellingham, enters Dundalk Bay at Annagassau. Its chief headwater is the Lagan, which, coming from Monaghan, forms the boun- LOUTH. dary between that county and Louth for 4 miles, and becomes the Glyde a little lowei' dowu. The Dee, coming from Meath, flows east by Ardee, and enters Dundalk Bay at Annagassan, having a common mouth with the Glj'de; it is joined on its right bank by the White Eiver, which passes hy Dunleer. In the extreme south, the Boyne first touches Louth at the mouth of the Mattack, near Town- ley Hall; flows thence for 3 miles between Louth and Meath ; next cuts off at Drogheda a small angle of Louth, which lies on the south of the rivei" — flowing here for a mile and three-quarters through Louth and for the rest of its course — three miles — again divides Louth from Meath. At the point where the Boyne first touches Louth it receives the Mattock, which, rising in this county, separates Louth from Meath for nearly the whole its course, down to its mouth. TOWNS.— Drogheda (12,297), built on both sides of the Boyne, 4 miles from its mouth, is an interesting town, containing many remains of its old fortifications, and some fine ecclesiastical ruins. Dundalk (11,913), the assize town, at the head of Dundalk Harbor, a town of consid- erable trade and manufacture. Three miles northwest of Dundalk is Faughart Hill, a round grassy eminence crowned by a large rath or fort ; here Edward Bruce was defeated and slain in 1316; and here also St. Brigid, the foundress of Kildare, was born in the fifth century — her father's house being probablj' the old fort. Near the fort is the ruin of St. Brigid's church; and also St. Brigid's Well. Ardee (2,622) stands on the river Dee, and has two old castles. Carlingford (727) stands in a very romantic situation, nestling under high mountains, on a narrow strip of level land be- tween their bases and the sea; retaining still some fragments of its walls and bastions, the fine ruins of King John's Castle perched on a peninsulated rock over the sea, and some abbey ruins. Clogher (662) is beside Clogher Head; Collon (451) is a very pretty little town in the southwest, in the midst of wooded hills; Dun- leer (498), northeast of Collon, is on the White Kiver; and near the coast of Dundalk Bay, on the river Glyde, is Castlebellingham (541), a pretty village celebrated for its ale. Southwest of Dundalk is the village of Louth (261), once important in an ecclesiastical point of view, but now very insignificant, and only worthy of notice as having given name to the county. ANCIENT DIVISIONS AND DESIGNA- TIONS. — Louth is classical ground. That por- tion lying between Dundalk and Drogheda, including the whole breadth of the county, was the ancient Murthemne, the patrimony of the hero Cuchullin, the greatest of all the Bed Branch Knights (see Armagh). It was the scene in which were enacted the chief events of the ancient Irish heroic romance or epic called the Tain-bo-Quelne, or the "Cattle-spoil of Quelne." The subject of this old epic was a seven years' war between Ulster and Connaught, in which Cuchullin was the leading character. The plain of Murthemne was also called in later ages Maghera-Conaill and also Maghera Oriel, i.e., the plain of the ancient kingdom of Oriel. The district of Quelne is the Carlingford or Cooley peninsula; the Gaelic form of the name is Cuailnge, which may be represented in sound by either "Quelne" or "Cooley;" and the old name is still preserved in Cooley Point near the extremitj' of the peninsula, and also in the name of the Cooley Mountains. Cuchullin's residence still remains. It is now known as the Moat of Castletown, a conspicuous high, flat-topped mound or fort, two miles west of Dundalk. It is well known in the Tain and other romances by the name of Dundalgan, and in later ages it gave its name to the town of Dundalk. The range of low hills in the south is a part of the ancient Slieve-Bregh, for which see Meath. There are two great groups of ecclesiastical ruins in this county. Mouasterboice, which was one of the greatest of Ireland's ecclesiastical establishments, lies 5 miles northwest from Droghega; it was founded by St. Buite or Boethius, who died in 522, and now contains the ruins of two very ancient churches, a round tower, and three magnificent Celtic crosses elaborately sculptured. Three miles southwest from this and five from Drogheda, in a beautiful valley watered by the Mattock, are the ruins of Mellifont Abbey. It is much less ancient than Monasterboice, having been founded in the J 2th LOUTH. century; but it was equally celebrated; and some most interesting ruins still remain to interest the visitor. Three miles above Drogheda is the spot where the battle of the Boyue was fought in 1690, in which William Prince of Orange defeated James n. King William 's army was encamped the night. before the battle at the Louth side of the river, and king James' at the Meath side, and the main conflict was at Oldbridge, which is in Meath. The monument erected in memory of Schomberg, William's best general, who was killed in the battle, stands on a rock in the mid- dle of the river. ILLXJSTRA.TIOIsrS. THE CELTIC CROSS, MONASTEEBOICE. — Monasterboice, the name of which is derived from St. Buithe, a disciple of St. Patrick, who founded a religious establishment there about the end of the fifth century, is about five and a half miles distant from Drogheda, and possesses ruins of great interest and very remote antiq- uity. Among them are a round tower and three crosses, two of the latter being the finest of the kind in L-eland, one of which is shown in the accompanying illustration. It is entirely cov- ered on both sides with sculptured images, the subjects of which are plainly apparent. The round tower is 110 feet high, and must have been considerably higher, as the cap and upper parts were destroyed by lightning many years ago. It is 51 feet in circumference; is divided into five stories, and has a doorway six feet from the ground. The railing was erected to prevent relic hunters defacing the picturesque re- mains. THE CITY OF DROGHEDA.— Drogheda, meaning the Bridge of the Ford, is situated on the river Boyne about four miles from its mouth. Although possessing many interesting ecclesiastical and architectural remains, it is best known on account of its historical associations. It is one of the most ancient places in Ireland. There it was that Heremou, son of Milesius, landed, after having lost his brothers, Aireach and Colpa in the bay. Drogheda suffered re- peatedly from the incursions of the Danes, and later from the Anglo-Norman invaders. There Richard II. held his court in 1395, and, in one of the parliaments held there the famous Poyn- iug's law was passed, 1494. In 1641, its Eng- ish garrison was unsuccessfully besieged by Sir Phelim O'Neil. But the city is more memora- bly associated with one of the most atrocious massacres in huii:^n history — that of the garri- son and the entire inhabitants by Oliver Crom- well in 1649. Neither age nor sex was spared, and with his characteristic blasphemous hy- pocrisj', the Puritan monster disclaimed any "credit" for the butchery, but gave all the glory of it to God. ST. LAWRENCE'S GATB, DROGHEDA. LONDONDERRY. NAME. — County named from the city. The most ancient name of Londonderry was Derry Calgagh, I.e., the derry or oak-wood of Calgach. In veneration for St. Columkille, who erected his monastery in Derry in 54G, it began in the 10th or 11th century to be called Derry Columkille ; and this continued to the time of James I., whose charter, granted to a company of London merchants, imposed the name Londonderry. SIZE AND POPULATION.— Length from Magilligan Point to the Ballinderry Eiver, 40| miles; breadth from the southwestern corner be- side the Eoyle, to the northwestern boundary near Coleraine, 35 miles; area 816 square miles; population 164,991. SURFACE.— A belt of level land stretches more than half round the county from Lough Neagh, by Colerain to the Foyle, six or seven miles broad along the Bann, but much narrower along Lough Foyle. There is a large tract of beautiful level country in the center; and the sjuth of the county is mountainous, the southern border, where it verges on Tyrone, remarkably so — an almost uninterrupted mass of high moun- tains. MOUNTAINS AND HILLS.— In the south- west, tho Sperrin Mountains run in a curve from near Strabane in Tyrone to near Garvagh in this county, lying partly in Tyrone, partly on the border between Tyrone and Londonderry, and partly in Londonderry. The chief summits touching or belonging to Londonderry are Sawel (2,240); a mile to the southwest of it, Dart (2,040); Meenard (2,061), 3 miles from Sawel, nearly due east, and Oughtmore (1,878) 2 miles east of Meenard — these four being on the boun- dary with Tyrone. The following are in Lon- donderry : Barnes Top (1,506) and Mullaghash (1,581), northwest of Meenard; and as you go northeast from this, Craigagh (1,489), near Oughtmore; Mullaghmore (1,825), White Moun- tain (1,774), Brown Hill (1,278), and Streeve (1,282), all four close to each other; Glenshane Mountain (1,507), and Craigmore (1,306). eolith of these, and west of Draperstown, are Knockbrack (1,735), and on the boundary Slieveavaddy (1,605) and Mullaghturk (1,353); all these belonging to a range separated from the Sperrin Mountains by the valley of Glenelly Eiver. Toward the southeastern corner of the county stands the short range of Slieve Gallion (1,623), separated from the Sperrin Mountains by the valley of the Moyola Eiver. Five miles south of Londonderrj' city is Slievekii.\ (1,219), on the boundary with Tyrone. The following are in the interior: Benbradagh (1,536), northeast of Dungiven; north of this, Craiggore (1,277), Boyd's Mountain (1,077) and Keady Mountain (1,101), near Newton Lima- vady ; and north of the same town, about half way toward Magilligan Point, Binevenagh (1,260), almost detached, and commanding a beautiful view on all sides. Loughermore (1,298) lies southwest of Limavady; and north- west from Sawe are Meeny HilU (1,198) and Straid Hill (1,002). COAST LINE.— That part of the coast lying between Portrush and the mouth of the Bann is bold, rocky, and cliffy. From the mouth of the Bann, round by Magiligan, the strand is flat and sandy ; but a mile or two inland there are fine cliffs and hills, culminating in Binevenagh. From Bellarena west to the Foyle, both shore and interior are flat, but well cultivated and very beautiful. The only cape of anj' consequence is Magilligan Point, a sandy projection, confining on the east the entrance to Lough Foyle. RIVERS. — The Bann, issuing from Lough Neagh, runs on the boundary between Antrim and Londonderry for a mile, then after flowing through Antrim for half a mile, it expands into Lough Beg: issuing from Lough Beg, it again forms the boundary for 22 miles down to Cole- breene; and from that to the mouth, a distance of 10 miles, it flows through Londonderry. A mile above Coleraine it falls over a ledge of rocks, forming the "Salmon Leap" cascade, where there is a great salmon fishery. On the west side, the Foyle flows through this countv for the last 11 miles of its course. — N LONDONDERRY. The Faugbau rises at the base of Sawel Moun- tain, and running northwest, flows into the mouth of the Foyle. The Faughan receives as tributaries, on the left bank, the Glenrandal, which rises in Tyrone, and the Berry Burn, ris- ing in Slievekirk ; and on the right bank the Burn Toilet. The Boe rises on the southern boundary at a great height among the Sperrin Mountains, and flowing in a general dix-ection northward, it passes by Dungiven and Newton Limavady, and enters Lough Foyle. The Mooyla flows from the mountains in the southwest border, and running first northeast, next east, and lastly southeast, it enters the northwest corner of Lough Neagh. Like the Roe, it rises at a great elevation, and is subject to sudden floods. Its tributaries are : on the right bank, the White Water and the Grange Water; on the left bank, the Glengomna and the Douglas. South of this, the Ballinderry River forms the boundary' with Tj'rone for the last 8 or 10 miles of its course, and enters Lough Neagh ; a little higher up it also runs on the same boundar3' for a mile and a half. It re- ceives the Lissan Stream on the left bank, which flows partly on the boundary' with Tyrone, but chiefly through Londonderry. The London- derry tributaries of the Banu, north of the Moyola, are the following: The Claudy flows east and joins the Bann half a mile below Port- glenone, receiving as tributaries on its left bank the Grilagh and the Knockoneill River. Below this is the Inverroe Water; next the Agivey River, which is joined on the left bank by the Aghadowey River and by the Mettican River; and lastly the Macosquin River. LAKES. — Lough Neagh forms the boundary for 8 miles, and Lough Beg for 3| miles. In the southwest. Lough Fea and the mountain pool Lough Ouske lie on the boundary with Tyrone. TOWNS.— Londonderry (29,162,) the assize town, built on a hill rising over the left or west- ern shore of the Foye, is a most picturesque city, rendered highly interesting by it^ remains of antiquity, especially the old walls, gates, and bastions that formerly defended the town. On the eastern side of the county is Coleraine (5,899), on the Bann, 4 miles from its mouth. Higher up, Kilrea (935) is half a mile from the river. On the Roe are, Newtown Limavady (2,954); and Dungiven (761), in a beautiful valley, with the ruins of a castle and of a very ancient abbey. Magherafelt (1,514) stands in the southeast, 4 miles from the shore of Lough Neagh ; near it, on the Moyola River, is Castledawson (511); a little higher up, near but not quite on the same river, Tobermore (347); and higher up still. Drapers- town, half a mile from the river. Maghera (1,124), a little to the north of the Moyola, is a place of great antiquity, with a most iutere.sting and very ancient church ruin ; Garvagh (708) is farther north, 4 miles from the Bann ; Money- more (588), in the southeastern corner, is a very neat town; and on the north coast. Port Stewart (556) is a pretty watering place, and much patronjzed. ANCIENT DIVISIONS AND DESIGNA- TIONS. — Londonderry formed a part- of the ancient territory of Tir Owen, i.e., the land of Owen, son of Niall of the Nine Hostages. The barony of Keenaght represents the ancient ter- ritory of Cianachta, or Cianachta of Glengiven, which was in early times the territory of the O'Conors ; but they were dispossessed a short time before the English invasion bj' theO'Cahans or O'Kanes. One mile above Coleraine, towering over the right bank of the river, is a great fort or mound, one of the largest in the country, now called Mountsandel, but anciently Dun-da-bheann (pron. Dundavan'), or the fort of the two peaks or gables, which was the residence of a chief called "Niall of the brilliant deeds" a little be- fore the Christian era, and which is celebrated in ancient Irish romance. A still more cele- bratefl fort lay about 5 miles west of this in the parish of Dundo; it is now called the Giant's Sconce, but it was the ancient Dun Keheru, the residence of Kehern, one of the Red Branch Knights. (See Armagh.) In Roe Park, near Newtown Limavady, is a long mound now called "the Mullah" or "Daisy Hill;" this is the ancient Drumket, celebrated for the convention held there 574 by Aed, the son of Ainmire, king of Ireland, which was attended by the chief people of the country, both lay and ecclesiastical, among others by St. Columkille, and in which various important national matters were settled. 1 f LONGFORD. NAME. — The Gaelic form of the name is Longphort, which signifies a fortress; the word was originally applied to the old circular forts, but in after ages to the more modern stone cas- tles. There are about twenty places in Ireland called Longford, all so named from fortresses of some kind. The town of Longford, fi-om which the county has its name, is called in the annals, Longford O'Farrell, from the castle of the O'Far- rells, the ancient proprietors, which was situated where the present military barrack stands. SIZE AND POPULATION.— Greatest length, from the southwest point in Lough Eee near Black Islands, to the northeast corner near Gul- ladoo Lough 30| miles; greatest breadth from the river Inny in the east, to Drumshanbo Lake north of Drumlish, 18 miles; average breadth about 16 miles ; area 421 square miles ; population 61,000. SUEFACE: HILLS.— A range of low round bills extend from the northeast near Lough Gowna, to the southwest near Newtown Forbes; of which Carn Clonhugh (912), toward the south- west end, is the highest summit, a flat-topped hill, very conspicuous in consequence of rising in the midst of a great plain. This hill should have been called Carn Clanhugh, for it took its name from the Clanhugh (the children or de- scendants of Hugh), who were a sept of the O'Farrells, ancient princes of Auualy. Slieve Golry 650 a mile and a half southwest of Ardagh, is another hill conspicuous for the same reason. These are the only hills worth mention in the whole county. All the rest of the countj"" is flat, in some places, as long the course of the Camlin River, quite level and un- interrupted ; in other places broken up by long ridge sandhills. In the level portions there is a good deal of bog. RIVERS. — The Shannon bounds the county on the west from a point, below Eoosky a mile to where it opens into Lough Eee at Lanesborough, a distance of 14 miles. The Rinn Eiver coming south from Leitrim, forms the boundary between Leitrim and Longford for 2 miles, then flows through Longford for a mile, and enters Lough Forbes. In the same neighborhood the Black Eiver flows southwest through Longford, and enters Leitrim to join the Rinn River. The Camlin rises near Granard, and flowing through Longford town, joins the Shannon 2 miles above Cloondara. The Keenagh or Fallan River, flowing northwest, joins the Shannon at Cloondara; but a branch of it connects with the Camlin, so as to form with that river and the Shannon what is called the Island of Cloondara, The Inny, coming westward from Westmeath, forms for 2 miles the boundary between West- meath and Longford, then flowing for 12 or 13 miles through Longford, and passing by Bally- mahon, it enters the eastern corner of Lough Eee. The Inny is joined on the left bank, 3 miles below Ballymahon, by the Tang River, which, coming from Westmeath, forms for the last 3 miles of its course the southern boundary of Longford ; and a little above Ballymahon, by the Rath River, which also comes from West- meath, and flows through Longford for the last 3 miles of its course. The Riffey, another tribu- tary of the Inny on the right bank, rises near Edgeworthstown, and flowing southeast, enters Westmeath. All the above streams send their waters to the Shannon. But there is a district in the north- east which is drained by a number of rivulets into Lough Gowna, whence the united waters are carried off by the river Erne. LAKES.- — The lake expansions of the Shannon that touch Longford are : Lough Forbes, near Newtown Forbes, and Lough Eee, which forms the southwestern boundary. Along the north- west boundary there is a line of small lakes, viz., Drumshanbo Lake, Lough Sallagh, Fearglass Lake, Cloncose Lake, Lough Nahelwy, Doogary Lake, Gortermore Lake, Tully South Lake, Beaghmore Lake, and Gulladoo Lake, this last at the north extremity of the county. Thesf> belong partlj' each to Longford and Leitrim. James^ town 1 R L.SaJlagfy 1 ^longing to the basin of the Shannon. LAKES. — The lakes of Eoscommon are quite as numei'ous as those of the surrounding coun- ties. The expansions of the Shannon that touch Eoscommon are Lough Allen, Lough Boderg, Lough Bofiu, Lough Forbes, and Lough Eee. In the extreme north are Lough Skean and Lough Meelagh, the former on the boundary with Sligo. Lough Arrow and Lough Gara barely touch Eoscommon at the northwestern boundary, but belong almost wholly to Sligo. The great lake feature of this district is Lough Key, one of the finest lakes in L-eland, about 2| miles in length and the same in breadth, con- taining 3^ square miles; the beautiful demesne of Eockingham is on its southern shore; and it contains a number of lovely wooded islands; on two of which are ecclesiastical ruins, and on a third the old castle of the Mac Dermotts, the ancient proprietors of the surrounding district. Southeast of Lough Key is Oakport Lake, an expansion of the river Boyle. A little south of Lough Kej' are the two small lakes of Cavetown and Clogher; and southeast of these are Corbally and Canbo Lakes; west of which, near French- park, is Lough Ball3\ In the western corner of the county are Loughs Errit, Cloonagh and Cloonacolly, beside each other; east of which is Lough Glinn (which gives name to the Village beside it), with finely wooded snores, an oasis in the midst of a bare bleak district. South of these, near the village of Ballinlough, is Lough O'Flyn, which is a mile and three-quarters in length. A little south of Elphin are a number of small lakes, the chief of which are Lough Clooucullaun and Lough An- naghmore; between which and the Shannon is another group, the chief being Lough Nablahy and Kilglass Lake, this last 2 miles long. Be- tween the two last a narrow arm of Lough Boderg stretches westward for 4 miles. Imme- diately southwest of Stokestown are three lakes close together, Cloonfree Lake, Ardakillen Lake, and Fin Lough between them. In the barony of Athlone, in the south of the county, are Lough Funshinagh (2 miles long) ; near which to the west are Lough Croan and Lough Cuilleenirwan ; and a little further south, Corkip Lake. TOWNS.— Eoscommon (2,117), the assize town, with its fine old abbey, founded in the 13tb century by Felim O'Connor, prince of Con- naught (son of Cahal of the Eed Hand), and still containing the tomb of the founder; the town contains also the ruins of a beautiful Anglo- Norman castle built in the same century. Boyle (2,994), in the north of the county, in a pretty situation on the Boyle Eiver, is a neat and pros- perous town, with an abbey ruin, one of the best preserved and most interesting in Ireland. Cas- tlereagh (1,229), in the west, stands on the river Suck. Elphin (997), toward the northeast side of the county, stands in the midst of a rich dis- trict; and six miles southeast of it is Stokestown (837) a well-built town, situated near the north- ern slope of Slievebawn. That part of Athlone lying west of the Shannon, in this county, has a population of 3,683; a suburb of Ballinasloe also lies in Eoscommon, containing a population of 947 ; and a part of Carrick-ou-Shannon, contain- ing 100 inhabitants, also belongs to this county. MINEEALS.— That part of the north end of the county verging on Lough Allen belongs to the Connaught coal district; and along the Arigna Eiver are the Arignairon mines. ANCIENT DIVISIONS AND DESIGNA- TIONS.— The old district called Moylurg, of which Mac Dermott was chief, extended from the Curlieu Mountains on the north, to near Elphin on the south, and east and west from the Shan- non to Lough Garra; this district is now known as the Plains of Boyle. South of this, and con- terminous with it, la3' Moy-Ai or Maghery- Connaught (the Plain of Connaught), a beauti- ful plain extending from Elphin to the town of Eoscommon, and east and west from Stokestown to Castlereagh. The ancient territory of Hy Many (for which see Galway) originally included that part of Eoscommon lying south of Lan*>«- borough and the town of Eoscommon. This same part of Eoscommon also formed one of the territories called Delvin, of which there were seven, this one being called Delvin-Nuadat. That part of Eoscommon lying between Elphm and the Shannon, and extending north and south from Jamestown on the Shannon to the north part of Lough Bee, was called the Three Tuathas or Three Territories, these three territories being Kinel Dofa, which lay between Slieve ROSCOMMON. Bawn and the Shannon; Corcachlann, west of Slieve Bawn ; and Tir Briuin of the Shannon, ■wlyich lay north of the two others. At Kathcroghan, midway between Tulsk and Bellanagare, are situated the ruins of Croghan, the ancient palara of the kings of Connaugnt. It was erected by Ohy Feleach, king of Ireland in the first century of the Christian era, for his daughter Maive, queen of Conaaught (see Louth and Armagh) ; and it is almost as celebrated in Irish romantic literature as the palace of Emania. The remains consist of a great fort now called Rathcroghan, containing a cave in which are some remarkably-inscribed stones; this rath being surrounded by a number of others, form- ing quite a town of raths. ILLUSTRATIONS. BOTLE ABBEY.— The Abbey of Boyle was erected on the bank of the river of that name by O'Connor, king of Connaught in 1257. Its re- mains at the present day are noble and imposing. It was destroyed during the Elizabethan wars with the northern chieftains, Tyrone and Tyr- connell, early in the 16th century. Within its aisles were interred many noted bishops and chiefs, and close by, in the cemetery of Kilronan, is buried Carolan, the last of the line of ancient Irish bards, who died in 1741. The county derives its name from St. Coman, who founded it in 550. He built an abbey, which was super- seded by the splendid structure erected on the same site by O'Connor. About the time the abbey was erected the Anglo-Normans under Sir Robert de Ufford built a castle near it, the re- mains of which still exist. On the night of August 12, 1599, the English under General Clif- ford encamped around the abbey, and in the battle of the Curlew Mountains three days later, Clifford, many of his officers, and 1,500 soldiers ■were slain by Red Hugh O'Donnell and the rest put to ignominious rout. ATHLONE CASTLE.— Athlone is situated on both sides of the Shannon, where the river divides the counties of Westmeath and Roscom- mon. As the gateway from Leinster to Con- naught, it has been deemed an important strategic point, from the Anglo-Norman invasion to the present day. The castle, once a great stronghold, was built in the time of King John. Of the many military events of which it has been the center, the siege by General Douglas and the defense by Colonel Grace, and that of Ginkell, and its defense by St. Ruth are the most memora- ble. The latter was lost through the arrogant blindness of St. Ruth, the French commander of the Irish troops. But no nobler instance of heroism is recorded in the military annals of any race or nation than the defense of the Irish gar- rison. Under a deadly shower of grapeshot and grenades an Irish sergeant and ten men pro- ceeded to tear up the planking of the bridge. All were killed. A second party rushed into their place and succeeded in accomplishing their object. All perished but two, who, precipitated into the water, swam to shore. / SLIGO. NAME. — The county was named from the town of Sligo, which itself took its name from the river Sligeach, river of sligs or shells — shelly river. Thio river is now called the Garrogue. SIZE AND POPULATION.— Length from the river Moy to the Arigna Eiver, 40| miles ; breadth from the Lough Gara to Donegal Bay, 38| miles; area, 721| square miles; population, 111,578. SURFACE.— The eastern part of the barony of Carbury, and the southern shores of Lough Gill, are mountainous. A line of highlands runs from Ballysadare Bay southwest toward Foxford in Mayo, having two moderately level districts on both sides. The rest of the country is level, interspersed with hilly land. MOUNTAINS AND HILLS.— The Ox Moun- tains begin immediately southwest of Bally- Sadare, and run west-southwest to the boundarj' cf Mayo, where they are continued to the south- west by the Slieve Gamph range, which runs first on the boundary of the two counties, and then into Mayo. The Ox Mountains have several summits from 1,200 to 1,800 feet high; and Slieve Gamph attains an elevation of 1,363 feet. The eastern part of the barony of Carbury, in the north of the county, is a mass of mountains. The highest is Truskmore (2,113) near the boun- dary, whose summit is in Sligo, but a part of ihe eastern slope is in Leitrim. Far more strik- ing and remarkable, however, through not so elevated, is Benbulbiu (1,722), in the middle of the barony, presenting a scarped precipitious face to Sligo Bay ; and a mile and a half south of it is Kings Mountain (1,527). Four miles •west of Sligo town is the remarkable isolated flat-topped hill of Knocknarea (1,078), rising with a scarped rockj' face over the beautiful plain that lies between its base and the sea. Ris- ing directly over the soulh shore of Lough Gill are the two hills, Slish 967), and Slievedaeane (900). In the east of the barony of Tirerrill, near the boundary, is a range called Bralieve, running from northwest to southeast, and rising to 1,498 feet at its highest point. In the southeast, near Ballinafad, the Curlieu Hills run on the boun- dary with Roscommon. In this southeast part of the county the most remarkable hill is Keish- corrau (1,183), which has on its western face a precipitous escarpment pierced with some inter- esting caves. Near this on the east is Carrowkee (1,062) over the western shore of Lough Arrow. COAST LINE. — The coast is an alternation of low sharp rocks and flat sandy beaches, relieved by a few bold headlands, and in one place by the grand cliff of Knocknarea. HEADLANDS. — Lenadoon Point marks the eastern entrance to Killala Bay; Aughirs Point projects north into Sligo Bay; Killaspug Point is the extremity of the peninsula northeast of Ballysadare Bay; Roskeeragh Point stands forth at the extremity of the peninsula that separates Donegal Bay from Sligo Bay ; and at the north extremity of the county is another Roskeeragh Point, near which is the rocky projection of Mullagnmore. ISLANDS.— Maguire's Island lies beside Kil- laspug Point; Coney Island, about a mile in length, is at the entrance to Cummeeu Strand; and at the north side of the same strand is Oyster Island, with a lighthouse. Just outside Coney Island is Black Rock, with a lighthouse; and near Roskeeragh Point is a rocky cluster, one of which is called Seal Rocks. Northeast of this, beside the coast at Cliffony, are Conor's Island and Dernish Island. But the most re- markable island belonging to Sligo is Inishmur ray, in Donegal Bay, a mile in length ; containing the ruins of the ancient monastery of St. Lase- rian or Molaise (pron. Molasha); the few inhabi- tants are very primitive, and have many curious customs. BATS AND HARBORS.— Killala Bay sepa- rates Sligo from Mayo. Sligo Bay opens east' ward, and branches into three inlets: Bally- sadare Bay; a middle branch which runs up to SLIGO. the town of SHgo; and Drumcliff Bay, all very sandy. RIVERS. — The Moy rises at a high elevation among the Ox Mountains, about 2 miles east of Lough Easky ; flows first southeast, then south- west, till it enters Mayo; turning northward, it touches Sligo at a point 2| miles above Ballina, from which point to its mouth it forms the boundary between Sligo and Mayo. Its chief Sligo tributaries are : the Mad River and the Owenaher from the Ox Mountains ; the Lough Talt River issuing from Lough Talt in Slieve Gamph ; and on the south bank, the Owengarve and the Mullaghatioe. The Leaffony River flows into Killala Bay. The Easky River is a moun- tain torrent rising in Lough Easky high up among the Ox Mountains, and falling into the sea near the village of Easky. The Ballysadare River falls into the head of Ballysadare Bay at Ballysadare; immediately below the village it tumbles over a series of shelving rocks, forming one of the finest rapids in Ireland. The chief tributaries of the Bally- sadare River are : the Owenmore, which rises in the south near Lough Gara; the Owenboy, which rises near the source of the Moj', takes the name of Owenbeg below the village of Col- looney, and joins the Owenmore 1| miles above Collooney ; and the Unshin River or Arrow River, which issues from Lough Arrow, and flowing northward joins the Owenmore. In the southeast of the county, the Feorish enters Roscommon. The Bonet River forms the boundary between Sligo and Leitrim for a mile. The Sligo River or the Garrogue, issues from Lough Gill, and after a course of 3 miles falls into Sligo bay at Sligo town. North of Sligo town, the Drumcliff River flows west into Drum- cliff Bay. And in the extreme north the Duff forms part of the boundar}- between Leitrim and Sligo, and fails into Donegal Bay. LAKES. — Lough Arrow, in the southeast, is i miles long, contains 8 square miles, and is studded with a number of beautiful wooded islets; Lough Gara, on the southern border, is 5 miles long, and contains 7 square miles. Lough Gill is 5^ miles long and contains 5| square miles; its shores are wooded, and at the south Bide overhung by mountains; it contains several lovely islands, and altogether it is one of the most beautiful lakes in Ireland — almost rivaling the Lakes of Killarney. The other lakes on the boundary are, north of Lough Gill, Glencar Lake, chiefly belonging to Leitrim ; in the northern extremity, Cloonty Lake near Cliffony; and the southeast, Skean Lake, more than half of which is in Roscommon. The following lakes are in the interior: Lough Easky at an elevation of GOT feet among the Ox Mountains; it is more than a mile long, and sends forth the river Easky northward; and five miles southwest of it, in Slieve Gamph, Lough Talt, about the same size. Near Ballymote is Templehouse Lake, a mile and a half long ; near the south end of which is Cloonacleigha Lake. Two miles south of Collooney is Toberscanavan Lake; and at the same distance northeast of Col- looney, is Ballydawley Lake. TOWNS.— Sligo (10,808), the assize town, on the Sligo or Garrogue River, with good trade and commerce; situated in the midst of a most picturesque country; containing the beautiful/ ruin of Sligo Abbey, founded in 1252. Bally- mote (1,145) in the southeast, with the ruins of a castle and of a friary near it; Tobercurry i (1,081), in the southwest. Ardnaree, the Sligo suburb of Ballina, has 1,442 inhabitants. MINERALS. — The eastern projection of the barony of Tirerrill, approaching Lough Allen, belongs to the Connaught coalfield, and a portion of it is also included in the Arigna iron district. Lead and copper mines were formerly worked in the Ox Mountains; but the works have been long since discontinued. ANCIENT DIVISIONS AND DESIGNA- TIONS. — The barony of Tireragh formed a part of the territory' of Hy Fiachrach of the Moy (for which see Mayo). The following baronies repre- sent ancient territories: Carbury (there were several other Carburys in Ireland) ; Leiny, the ancient Luighne; Tirerrill, the ancient Tir- Oililla; Corran, andCoolavin, the principality of Mac Dermott. Immediately east of Lough Arrow, in the parish of Kilmactranny, is the Northern Moytura, or Moytura of the Formori- ans, where, 27 years after the battle of the Southern Moytura (for which see Mayo), was fought a battle between the Dedannans and the Formoriaus, in which the Formorians were de- feated and slaughtered. Like the Southern Moy* SLIGO. fciira, the plain abounds in sepulchral monuments to this day. At Drumcliff, 4 miles north of Sligo, there was in old times a great religious establishment; and there still remain the ruins of a round tower and some Celtic crosses in a fail- state of preservation. THE CATHEDRAL.— The town of Sligo is the residence of the Catholic bishop of the cathedi-al city of Elphin, which is some forty miles distant. The church of St. John in Sligo is called a cathedral, owing to the fact that the Bishop resides there. It is a handsome modern edifice, cruciform in structure, with a tall massive tower. The see of Elphin is one of the most ancient in Ireland, having been founded by St. Patrick, about the year 450. He ap- pointed Assicus, a learned and pious monk, first bishop, but for the eight succeeding centuries no regular succession of prelates is mentioned. There are many remains in Sligo and the neigh- boring vicinity of the ancient religious charac- ter of the county, some of which will be found on another page. The town experienced many vicissitudes in the various wars since the Anglo- Norman invasion, and suffered much for its de- votion to Irish liberty. 1 SLIGO CATHEDRAL. TIPPERARY TIPPE RARY. NAME. — The county took its name from the lown of Tipperary, and this from a once celebrated ■well, situated near the main street of the town, and now closed up. The Gaelic form of the name is Tiobraid-Arann (pron. Tubrid-Auran) the well of Ara, from tiobraid, a well, and Ara (genitive, Arann), the name of the old territory in which it was situated. SIZE AND POPULATION.— Length, from the eastern corner of the Knockmealdown Moun- tains near the village of Ballinamult, to the junc- tion of the Little Brosna River with the Shannon, 66| miles; breadth, from the western boundary between Emly, and Kuocklong to the eastern boundary 3 miles east of Mullinahone, 43 miles; area, 1,659 square miles; population, 199,612. For legal purposes the county is divided into North Eiding and South Eiding. SUEFACE. — The western projection, consist- ing of the barony of Owney and Arra, the south- western part of Upper Ormond, and the western part of the two baronies of Kilnamanagh, are nearly all occupied with mountains. The greater part of the barony of Ikerriu, forming the north- east cornel", is mountainous, hilly, or upland. The southwest also (namely, the baronj* of Iffa and Offa West, and the southern part of the barony of Clanwilliam) is very mountainous, being occupied by two great ranges (to be noticed presently in detail) inclosing a fine valley. The barony of Slieveardagh in the east is hilly, bi'oken up by the inequalities of the Tipperary coalfields; and in the barony of Iffa and Offa East, northeast of Clonmel, there is one small but lofty mountain knot. All the rest of the county may be said to be level, inter- rupted by occasional detached mountains or hills; and in several places broken up hy low ridges. The whole of the middle of the county is occupied by the magnificent plain traversed by tHe Suir. The "Golden Vale," containing the finest land in Ireland, may be said to be a branch of this great central plain ; it runs west from Fethard into Limerick, confined on the borders of the two counties bj' Slievenamuck on the south, and by Slievefelim on the north; and from this it sweeps westward to Kilmallock and Bruree. MOUNTAINS AND HILLS.— The south- western extremity of Slieve Bloom just touches Tipperary at Eoscrea. The valley in which Eoscrea stands separates this end of Slieve Bloom from another range, which begins immediately south of the town and runs southwest. This ia the Devil's Bit range, which culminates in the Devil's Bit (1,583), 3 miles from Templemore. This mountain has a singular gap in its contour (very conspicuous from the railway), from which it was formerly called Barnane-Ely, i.e., the gapped mountain of Ely (the old territory in which it was situated), which is still the name of the parish. The other chief summits are Kilduff Mountain (1,462), Borrisnoe (1,471), and Benduff (1,399), all near Devil's Bit in a line to the northwest; and 4 miles southwest of Devil's Bit, Kuockauora (1,429) and Latteragh (1,257), Southwest of this is a great mountain group consisting of several minor clusters separated by deep vallej's. The highest summit is Kimalta or Keeper Hill (2,278), a fine mountain dome, which towers so conspicuously over the sur- rounding hills that it seems almost detached. Four miles southeast of Kimalta is Mauhersl'ore (1,783), near which again are Knockteige (1,312), and Knocknasceggan (1,296). The valley of the Bilboa Eiver separates these from a sub-group to the southeast, which occupies a good deal of the two baronies of Kilnamanagh ; the chief summits being Knockalough (1,407), and south of it Laghtseefin (1,426). The Silvermine Mountain (1,607), running from west to east 4 or 5 miles in length, lie north of Kimalta, and are separated from it by the valley of the Mul- kear Eiver. To the mountain group noticed in this paragraph belongs Slievefelim, lying im Limerick. To the northwest of the preceding, in the north of the barony of Owney and Arra, are the TIPPERAEY. Arra Mountains (1,517), rising over the southern end of Lough Derg; these form a distinct group, separated from the Silvermine and Kimalta mountains by the valley of the Kilmastulla Eiver. Along the southern border of the county the Knockmealdown range runs east and west. About half the range belongs to Tipperary, the south- *irn flank lying in Waterford. The highest sum- mit of all, Kuockmealdown or Slievecua (2,609), lies on the boundary. The Galty Mountains run east and vest; they lie north of the Kuockmealdown Mountains, from which they are separated by a fine valley six or eight miles wide: the eastern half of the range lies in Tipperary and the western half in Limer- ick. The Galty range is one of the finest in Ire- laud, for its altitude, for the magnificent and massive forms of its individual mountains, and for the deep valleys that pierce the heart of the range, traversed hy mountain torrents, and over- hung by tremendous precipices. Galtymore (3,015), the highest of the whole range, lies on the boundary with Limerick. Slievenamuck (1,215), a long low range, runs parallel to the Galtys, a little to the north and separated from them by the Glen of Aherlow. In the southeast corner of the county the grand mountain mass of Slievenaman (2,364) rises from the plain quite detached. Sevei'al subsidiary sujnmits lie round the main peak; chief among them being Carrickabrock (1,859), Sheegouna (1,822), and Knockahunna (1,654). Among the many detached hills of Tipperary, one of the most conspicuous is Knockshigowna (701) in the north, 5 miles northeast of Cloghjor- dan, standing in a plain quite detached, and well known for its fairy legends. « EIVEES.— The Shannon and Lough Derg lorm the northwestern boundary, from the mouth of the Brosna downward to a point a mile above O'Brien's Bridge. The following are the ti-ibu- * taries of the Shannon belonging wholly or partly to Tipperary. In the exti'eme north, the Little Brosna, coming from the southeast, runs on the boundary between Tipperarj' and Kings County for the last 13 miles of its course. Its chief headwater is the Bunow, which rises in Kings County northeast of Eoscrea (though some of its head streams come from Queens County), crosses the corner of Tipperary by Eoscrea, and leaving Tipperary for Kings County, takes the name of Little Brosna. The Ballyfinboy Eiver rises near Moneygall, and flowing northwest, forms the boundary for a mile and a half between Tipper- ary and Kings Countj' above Cloghjordan, and passing by Cloghjordan and Borrisokane, falls into Lough Derg at Drominagh. The Nenagh Eiver, drawing some of its headwaters from the Devil's Bit, and some from the Kimalta Moun- tains, runs northwest by Nenagh, and falls into Lough Derg. The Nenagh Eiver is joined on the right bank, a mile below Nenagh, by the Ollatz-im and the Ballintotty Eivers, which unite their waters before the junction (the Ollatrim forming for 2 miles of its course the boundary between Kings County and Tipperary). The Newtown Eiver rises in the Arra Mountains, and falls into Lough Derg at Youghal, near the mouth of the Nenagh Eiver. The Kilmastulla Eiver flows west by the northern base of the Silvermine Mountains, and enters the Shannon near Birdhill. The Newport Eiver flows south- west by Newport and enters Limerick, its chief headwater being the Mulkear, which flows through the deep glen between the Kimalta and Silvermine Mountains (this Mulkear finding its way ultimately by the Newport Eiver to the Limerick Mulkear). The Clare Eiver, running west through the glen that separates Slievefelim from Kimalta, forms the boundary for some miles with Limerick, and enters Limerick (tak- ing now the name of Annagh) to join the New- port Eiver. The Bilboa Eiver and its three tributaries — the Gortnageragh, the Cahernahal- lia, and the Dead Eiver — all rise in Tipperary, and flow into Limerick to the Mulkear. Some of the headwaters of the Limerick Eiver, the Camoge, come from that part of Tipperary Iving round Emly. The Nore takes its rise in the northern ex- tremity of the Devil's Bit Mountains, about 2 miles east-northeast of Monej'gall, and flowing east-northeast for 9| miles through Tipperary, it forms the boundary with Queens County for 2 miles further, and then enters Queens County. Some of the head rivulets of the Erikna rise in- side the boundary, or run on it, east of Temple more, and flow immediatley into Queens County. The Kings Eiver rises by several headwaters in Tipperary, the chief of them having its source in / TIPPERARY. the parish of Buolick, northwest of the village of B'allingarry, and flowing first southward and then eastward, enters Kilkenny 3 miles above Callan. The Munster Eiver, flowing south, forms the boundary for about 8 miles between Tipperary and Kilkenny, and then enters Kil- kenny to join the Kings River. The Suir rises at the eastern base of Benduff Mountain, one of the Devil's Bit range, 2 miles southeast of Moneygall, the source being about 2 miles southwest of the source of the Nore, and flowing first eastward for 5 miles, it turns abruptly south. It runs in a direction generally south for about 55 miles (following the larger windings), when it touches Waterford at a point 9 miles in direct line southeast of Caher — the direction of the river from Caher to this point being southeast. It then turns abruptly north, and continuing in this direction for 5 miles, it turns east; and from the point where it first touches Waterord down to a mile and a half be- low Carrick-on-Suir (24 miles) it forms the boundary between Tipperary and Waterford. The following are the Tipperary tributaries of tiie Suir, beginning on the north : Taking first the left or eastern bank — the Drish joins a mile below Thurles; one of its headwaters is the Black River, and some others of its head rivulets come from Kilkennj'. The Anner comes south- ward from near Killenaule, and joins the Suir 2 miles below Clonmel; it is joined on its right bank by the Honor, the Clashawley (flowing by Fethard), and the Moyle. The Lingaun rises to the east of Slievenaman, and flowing eastward, touches Kilkenny ; then turning south it forms the boundary between Tipperary and Kilkenny to where it falls into the Suir (a mile and a half below Carrick-on-Suir), a distance of 7 miles. On the right bank the Suir receives the follow- ing — the Clodiagh rises among the hills east of Mauherslieve, and joins 3 miles below Holycross; it is itself joined by the Cromoge and the Owen- beg on opposite banks. The Multeen falls into the Suir a mile and a half above Golden, receiv- ing from the north, a little above its mouth, a tributarj' also called Multeen. The Ara, flowing through the town of Tipperary, falls into the Suir 2 miles above Caher ; it is joined by the Aherlow River, which comes from Limerick, enters Tipperary at Galbally, and flows eastward I through the Vale of Aherlow, one of the finest glens in Ireland, with the Galtys towering over it on the south, and Slievenamuck on the north. Two miles above Ardfinnan the Suir receives the Thonoge, which rises in the Galty glens; and 3 miles below Ardfinnans, the Tar, which runs eastward through Clogheen along the northern base of the Knockmealdown Mountains, and is the principal stream that drains the valley be- tween these mountains and the Galtys; the Tar itself having for headwater tributaries the Duag from Knockmealdown, and the Burncourt River from the Galtys. The headwater of the Funshion, which rises in Galtymore, forms the boundary between Tip- perary and Limerick for 5 or 6 miles, after which it turns west and leaves Tipperary, and ultimately joins the Blackwater. LAKES. — A portion of Lough Derg belongs to Tipperary ; all the other lakes of the count3' are small and unimportant. Near the summit of Galtymore, at its northern side, are two very remarkable mountain pools, overtopped by precipices. Lough Curra and Lough Diheen ; and a little east of these are Borheen Lough and Lough Muskry, also on the north slopes of the Galtj's. Baylough, another remarkable moun- tain tarn, lies above Clogheen, at the mouth ot the pass that crosses Knockmealdown. TOWNS.— Clonmel (9,325, of whom 52 are in the county Waterford), on the Suir, the chief town of the county, and the assize town of the South Riding ; it is one of the most important of the inland towns of Ireland, and has great trade; beautifully situated, with the outskirts of the Cummeragh Mountains rising directly over it on the south side of the river. The following towns are also on the Suir : Carrick-on-Suir (6,583, of whom 1,166 are in Carrickbeg, a suburb lying at the south side of the river, in the county Waterford), below Clonmel, in the southeastern corner of the county. Ascending the river from Clonmel we pass the village of Ardfinnan (376), with its fine castle ruin perched on the summit of a rock, and come to Caher (2,469), a very pretty town, in a beautiful situa- tion, under the eastern abutment of the Galtys, with a fine castle ruin on a rock in the middle of the river. Passing the village of Golden (380), with the beautiful old abbey of Athassel a mil« TIPPERARY. and a Jaalf south of it, just beside the river ; and the village of Holycross, where is one of the finest ecclesiastical ruins in Ireland, that of an abbey built in the 12th century; we come to Thurles (4,850), a flourishing town, with several ecclesiastical and castle ruins; and lastly, Tera- plemore (2,800), near the eastern base of the Dev'l's Bit Mountain. The following towns are on tributaries of the Suir: Fethard (1,926), lying 8 miles north of Clonmel, and near the western base of Slieve- naman, is watered by the Clashawley Eiver, and has some fine monastic ruins. Mullinahone is near the Anner Kiver, not far from the eastern boundary. Borrisoleigh (788), lying southwest of Templemore, is on the little river Cromoge. In the southwest of the county, is Tipperary (7,274), on the Ara, almost at the base of Slieve- namuck Mountain. In the valley between the Galty and Knockmealdown Mountains are Clog- heen (1,209), on the Tar; and Ballyporeen (632), on the Duag, the headwater of the Tar. On the streams that flow to the Shannon these towns are situated; Eoscrea (2,801), on the Bunow; Cloghjordan (644) and Borrisokane 693 , on the Ballyfinboy River. On the Nenagh Kiver is Nenagh (5,422), the assize town of the North Biding, with a fine castle ruin; a very important inland town. Southwest of this, on the Newport River, near the border of the county, is Newport, or, as it is commonly called, Newport-Tip (938). The following towns are not connected with any of the principal rivers: Cappagh White (629), north of the town of Tipperary, at the base of hill. Killenaule (829), north of Fethard prettily situated among hills. Lastly, Cashel (3,961), the ancient capital of Munstei', but now a faded town, in the rich plain of the Golden Vale. Beside the town, is "The Rock of Cashel," a singular detached limestone rock ris- ing abruptly and precipitously from the plain. Its flat top contains nbout 3 acres, and a great part of this area is covered by the most interest- flg collection of ruins in the kingdom, clustered close together; of which the chief are the Cathe- dral, Cormac's Chapel, a round tower, a castle, and several residences for the ecclesiastics. The Bock commands a splendid view, and is itself a conspicuous object for many miles round. Near the Rock, just outside the town, are the ruins of Hore Abbey. MINERALS.— One of the two coal fields of Munster lies chiefly in Tipperary ; it extends in length about 20 miles from Freshford in Kilkenny to near Cashel, and is about 6 miles broad. In the Arra Mountains, which rise over Lough Derg, northeast of Killaloe, are the slate quarries that supply the well-known Killaloe slates. And the Silvermine Mountains, a little to the south- east derived their name from their mines of lead with a mixture of silver, which were worked in the last century. ANCIENT DIVISIONS AND DESIGNA- TIONS. — A considerable part of the north and northwest of Tipperary was originally included in the ancient sub-kingdom of Thomond or North Munster; and the middle and southern part in the sub-kingdom of Ormond or East Munster. In late times the northern end of the county was formed into two baronies, and desig- nated Upper and Lower Ormond by the Earl of Ormond ; but the name was wrongly applied, as what is now called the barony of Lowe/ Ormond, and a good part of Upper Ormond, con- stituted the ancient district of Muskerry-Tire, which was always a part of Thomond. There were two other Muskerrys in Tipperary, viz., first; Muskerry-Treherna, now the barony of Clanwilliam — also called Muskerrj'-Breogain, and Muskerry-Quirk, this last name derived from the family of O 'Quirk, the ancient proprietors; the little mountain tarn. Lough Muskry, in the Galtys, still preserves the name of this territory. Secondly, Muskerry West-of-Fevin, so called as lying west of Moj'-Fevin. Fevin or Moy-Fevin was the name of the plain south of Slievenaman, now called by the barony name Iffa and Offa East. The Galty Mountains were anciently called Crotta-Cliach or Slieve-Crot or Slieve-Grod, which name is still preserved in that of the old Castle of Dungrod, in the Glen of Aherlow, near Galbally. Beside Cashel there were anciently three royal residences in Tipperary. One was Caher, the old name of which was Caher-Dun-Isga ; the present castle, on the rock in the Suir, occupiea the site of an old circular stone fcrt or cahor, which was destroyed in the 3d century: and TIPPERARY. that caher was erected on the Bite of a still older dun or earthen fort. The second was Dun-Crot, which is now marked b}' the old castle of Dun- grod (mentioned above), a comparatively modern edifice, built on the site of the old dun. The third was Knockgraffon, about 3 miles north of Caher, which was the residence of Fiacha Mul- lehan, king of Munster in the 3d century. The remains of this old palace are still standing, con- sisting of a very fine high mound ; it is cele- brated in legend, and the surrounding parish still retains its name — Knockgraffon. EOCK OF CASHEL.— It has been truly said that all the ecclesiastical ruins not onlj' of Tip- perarybufc of all Ireland sink into insignificance compared with those that crown the far-famed *'Kock of Cashel." Massive and colossal in aspect it towers above the level plain of the "Golden Vale," and presents an inposing appear- ance from all sides. For more than a thousand years Cashel was the seat of the kings of Munster, and its history, as Sir Walter Scott remarks, "such as Ireland may be proud of." A synod ■was held there in the middle of the 5th century by St. Patrick, St. Ailbe and St. Declan, when King Aengus commemorated his conversion to Chris- tianity by erecting a church on the rock. The ruins consist of a cathedral founded in the 11th centurj', a round tower 90 feet high and 54 feet in circumference, Cormac's Chapel, named after the Bishop-king, a hall for the vicar's choral, built iit 1421, and an Episcopal palace. .HOLY CROSS ABBEY.— This monastic ruin is considered to rank in popular esteem as one of the first, if not the very first, in Ireland. It is situated on the western bank of the Suir about seven miles north of Cashel. It was founded in 1182 by Donald O'Brien, king of Limerick, for the Cistercian monks; but is said to owe its origin and name to the possession of piece of the True Cross, presented in 1110 by Pope Pas- cal II. to Murrough O'Brien, monarch of Ire- land. It was set in gold and precious stones, and is said to be still in the possession of the Catholic authorities of the place. The Abbey is appropriately built in the form of a cross, with nave, chancel and trausej)t, and a lofty, square belfry at the intersection of the cross. In both transepts are two distinct chapels beautifully groined, It was endowed with special privi- leges, and the abbot was a peer of parliment with the title of Earl of the Holy Cross. THUELES CATHEDRAL.— The town of Thurles, is situated on the river Suir, and con- tains a population of about 5,000. The sur- rounding country is very fertile and attractive. It has many historic memories and ancient re- mains. It was the scene of a great victory by the Irish over the Danes in the 10th century, and witnessed the defect of Strongbow by O'Brien, Prince of Thomond. A monastery of Carmelites were established there in 1300. In 1850 a synod was held in Thurles under the presidency of Cardinal Cullen, at which the Queen's Colleges were condemned and the foundation of a Catholic university recom- mended. The Archbishop of Cashel resides in Thurles, and many modern ecclesiastical estab* lishments lend it an interest for Catholics. Among these are the Catholic Cathedral, a mag- nificent edifice capable of holding 7,000 persons, and the provincial college of St. Patrick, erected in 1836. NENAGH TOWNHALL AND CASTLK — Nenagh is the second largest town in the county of Tipperary, and does a thriving trade. The town was at once time a stronghold of the Butlers. It possesses few antiquities, the "Nenagh Round," the circular keep of the castle of the Butlers, and one of the largest and most notable structures of its kind in the island, being, jierhaps, the most interesting feature. It was built in the time of King John. Between it and the courthouse stands the townhall, a modern structure of handsome design. Nenagh was converted into an assize town some years ago, previous to which a summons to court in- volved a journey of nearly 140 miles. The name is derived from the Irish word N'Aenach, signi- fying The Fair, and even at the present day it is the seat of one of tl'" largest yearly "fairs" ia the south of Ireland ST. PATRICK'S THURLES, TIPPERARY. TYRONE. NAME. — The Gaelic form of the name is Tii-- Eogliain (pron. Tir-Owen), signifying the land or territory (tir) of Eoghan or Owen. This Owen was son of king Niall of the Nine Hos- tages, and brother of Conall, who gave name to Tirconnell (see Donegal). SIZE AND POPULATION.— Length from the mouth of the Blackwater at Lough Neagh to the western point near Carrickaduff hill, 55 miles ; breadth from the southern corner, south- east of Fivemiletown, to the northeastern corner near Meenard Mountain, 37| miles; area, 1,260 square miles; population, 197,719. SURFACE. — All the northern border is a con- tinued succession of mountains, some of them very lofty. The western angle is occupied by mountains, a continuation of the alpine region of Donegal. The southern angle, south of Clogher, is also mountainous and upland ; and there is a small mountain knot southeast of New- town Stewart, in the barony of Upper Strabaue. That portion of the county bordering on Lough Neagh is a flat, meadowy district, interspersed with bogs. All the rest of the county is an end- less succession of gentle hills, fruitful valle.vs, pretty glens, and small plains, with a good deal of dreary moorland in the northern half, but in- terspersed, especially in the south, with much beauty and softness of landscape. On the whole Tyrone is a hillj' county. MOUNTAINS AND HILLS.— Along the northern and northeastern margin are the follow- ing mountains, beginning on the west: Slieve- kirk (1,219), on the boundary with Londonderry, a little east of the Foyle. The Sperriu Moun- tains begin about 6 miles northeast of Newtown Stewart, and run east-northeast, partly in Tyrone, partly on the boundarj', and partly in Londonderry. The first summits of any conse- quence at the end nearest to Newtown Stewart are Crockrour (1,200), Craignagapple (1,082), and Balix Hill (1,333), all near one another. "West of Craignagapple, and immediately over Strabane, rises the detached hill of Knockavoe (972). East of all these is Mullaghclogha (2,088), northwest of which is Tornoge (923). Then follow Dart (2,040), Sawel (2,240), Mee- nard (2,0G1), and Oughtmore (1,878), all on the boundary, which have been mentioned in Lon- dondeiTj'. South and southeast of these, at the other side of the vallej^ of the Glenellj' River, are the Mun- terlony Mountains, of which the chief summits are Craignamaddy (1,264), Munterlony or Mul- laghbolig Mountain (1,456), and Carnauelly (1,851). Mullaghturk (1,353) is on the boun- dary; and with another valley intervening Beleevnamore (1,257). In the immediate vicin- ity of Newtown Stewart are the two hills, Bessy Bell (1,367) and Mary Gray (828); and six miles southeast of the town, and about the same dis- tance northeast of Omagh, is the conspicuous hill of Mullagcarn (1,787). In the southern end Slieve Beagh stands at the junction of the three counties, Tyrone, Monaghan, and Fermanagh; one of its peaks, 1,221 feet high, is in T3-rone; but its highest summit — 1,255 feet — is in Fermanagh. A range of upland runs between Ballygawley and Omagh, locally called the Starbog hills; the highest sum- mit is Sleivemore (1,033), 3 miles northwest of Ballygawley. Three miles north of Fivemile- town is Ballyness Mountain (958). West of these Brocker Mountain (1,046) stands on the boundar3'. In the western extremitj' of the county — the barony of West Omagh— Cross Hill (1,024) stands just inside the boundary; south of this is Sturrin (814), near which to the southeast, beside the boundary, is an elevation of 1,059 feet. In the extreme south of the barony is Dooish (1,119), and beside it Tappaghan (1,112) which stands on the boundary, its summit being in Tyrone. RIYERS. — The Finn, and its continuation the Foyle, run on the northwestern boundary for 16 miles, separating Tyrone from Donegal. The Foyle is formed by the confluence of the Finn and the Mourne at Liflford. Below Strabane the Foyle is joined by the Burn Dennet and Glen* mornan streams, belonging to Tyrone. The Mourne is formed by the confluence of a TYEONE. number of important tributaries, of -wliich the Derg, the Strule, and the Owenkillew, are the principal. The Derg flows from Lough Derg in Donegal, and joins the main stream 2^ miles be- low Ne-wtown Stawart; receiving as tributaries the Mourne Beg, which flows from Lough Mourne in Donegal (and runs for 5 miles of its course on the boundary between Tyrone and Donegal), and the Glendergan River which flows through a fine mountain valley. The Strule and the Owenkillew join at Newtown Stewart. The Strule is formed by the Fairy "Water from the west, the Drumragh and its tributary the Owen- reagh from the south, and the Camoweu with its afiluent the Cloghfin from the east. And the Owenkillew, draining the valley' south of the Munterlony Mountains, has as tributaries, the Glenelly Eiver, which drains the long valley be- tween the Sperrin and Munterlony Mountains, the Glenlark, the Coneyglen, the Broughderg, and the Owenreagh. In the southeast the Blackwater rises among the hills a little north of Fivemiletown; flows across the southern extremity of the county for about 15 miles, after which it forms the boun- dary of Tyrone (with Mouaghan and Armagh) to its mouth at the southwestern corner of Lough Neagb, a further distance of about 34 miles (not following the smaller windings). Its Tyrone tributaries are the Torrent, the Ooua "Water, the Ball\-gawley "Water, and the Fury River. The Ballinderry River rises a little northwest of Pomeroy, flows eastward hy Cookstown, and for nearly all the rest of its course runs on the boundary between Tyrone and Londonderry, till it falls into Lough Neagh. It receives as tributary from the northwest, the Lissan ^Yater, which flows from Lough Fea, runs for some distance on the boundarj', and then enters Londonderry. In the southwest the district round Trillick is drained into Lough Erne bj' the Bellanamallard River, which belongs in the lower jiart of its course to Fermanagh; and the Fermanagh streams, the Tempo Eiver the Many Burns, and the Col<^b'"ook, draw their headwaters from Tyrone. LAKES. — Lough Neagh forms part of the eastern boundary from the mouth of the Black- water to the mouth of the Ballinderry River. There are no other large lakes in Tyrone ; but there are many very small ones. On the north- eastern border is Lough Fea, about a mile in length. Northwest of Pomeroy are Lough Fingrean and Loughmacrorj-, near each other. Surrounded by the demesne of Baron's Court, near Newtown Stewart, are three long narrow lakes. Lough Catherine, a mile in length, and two smaller ones. Lough Fanny and Lough Marj'; west of which is the small Maghera Lough. East of Strabane, under Craignagapple hill, is Moor Lough, from which issues the Glen- mornan River. TO"WNS.— Dungannon (4,084), in the east of the county, an excellent business town, was in old times the chief seat of the O'Neills. The following are on the tributaries of the Foyle ; Strabane (4,196) stands on the Mourne, and 3 miles south is Seein, or Sion Mills (1,077). Southeast of this, just below the confluence of the Strule and the Oweunkillew, is Newtown Stewart (1,079). Still further southeast, near the middle of the county, is Omagli (,4126), the assize town, on a hill, at the base of which is the confluence of the Camowen and Drumragh rivers. South of Omagh, on the Drumragh River, is Fintoua (1,468) ; west of which, near but not on one of the head streams of the Owen- reagh, is Dromore (625). West of Newtown Stewart, on the I'iver Derg, is Castlederg (756) with the striking ruin of the castle that gave the town its name. Near the Ballinderry River, in the east, is Cookstown (3,870), near the boundarj' of the countj'. Southwest of Cookstown, on one of the head streams of the Ballinderry River, is Pomeroy (438). The following are on the Blackwater and its tributaries in the southeast: Moy (579), on the Blackwater itself really forms one town with Charlemout, at the Armagh side of the river. Higher up on the Blackwater, at the extreme southeastern angle of the county, is Caledon (562), a very pretty village, in the midst of a beautiful, well-cultivateel country. Northwest of this is Aughnacloy (1,333), within" half a mile of the Blackwater. Northwest of Aughnacloy, on the Ballygawley Water, is the neat and prosper- ous village of Ballygawley (446). Four miles northeast of Dungannon, near the Torrent River, is Coal Island (677) ; near which on the north, TYRONE. but unconnected with any of the Blackwater tributaries, is the stirring little town of Stewarts- town (823). In the extreme south, in the barony of Glogher, beside the boundary, is Fivemile- town (597); near which, on the northeast, is Clogher, now a poor village, but once a place of great ecclesiastical celebrity. MINERALS.— North of Dungannon, and around the village of Coal Island, is a coal field. which, though small, is the richest in Ireland. Along the shore of Lough Neagh, south from Washing Baj', is found lignite or wood coal. ANCIENT DIVISIONS AND DESIGNA- TIONS. — The ancient principality of Tir-Owen, the inheritance of the O'Neills, included the whole of the present counties of Tyrone and Londonderry, and the two baronies of Imshowen and Raphoe in Donegal. IX.LXJST]R^TIOISr. DUNGANNON.— Dungannon (Geanan's Fort) was the earliest seat of the O'Neills, and continued in their possession down to the year 1607. The O'Neill Castle stood upon a hill crowning the town, but was destroyed by Gerald, ninth earl of Kildare, and scarce a trace of it left remain- ing. From the warlike tendencies of this noble race it was exposed to the constant vicissitudes of war. There Shane, or John the Proud, held sway for years, and was virtually ruler of Ulster. until his treacherous assassination at the instiga- tion of the English lord deputy ; and this his- toric locality was the scene of many of the ex- ploits of Hugh O'Neil, and Sir Phelim the leader of the great insurrection of 1641. In the parish church of Dungannon also the delegates of the Irish volunteers of 1782 met and issued their declaration that only the king, lords and com- mons of Ireland possessed the right to make laws for Ireland. o > O o w 1-t I WATERFORD. NAME.— "Waterford," the name of the city (which was extended to the county), is Danish; the old form is Vadre-fiord. The old Gaelic name, which is still in common use, is Port- larga. SIZE AND POPULATION.— Length from the western point near Macollop to Cheek Point, 50| miles; breadth from Clonmel to the point at Ballynacourty, east of Dungarvan Harbor, 20 miles; breadth from Knockmealdowu to the southern point east of Youghal Harbor, 22| miles; area, 721 square miles; population 112,768. SUEFACE. — A broad district, extending east and west, from near Portlaw in the east to Macollop in the west, is almost uninterruptedly mountainous; in the middle this mountain region stretches across almost the entire county from Clonmel to Dungarvau. That large part of the county Ij'ing south and east of this highlajad tract is a mixture of gentle hills and dales. MOUNTAINS AND HILLS.— On the north- ern boundary of the western projection of the county, the Knockmealdown Mountains run east and west between Tipperary and Waterford. The highest summit in the whole range, Knock- mealdown Mountain (2,609), lies on the boun- dary. Under the summit of this mountain, on the west side, the range is crossed by a high pass through which runs the mail-coach road from Lismore to Clogheen, one of the grandest mountain roads in Ireland. Immediately south of Clonmel begin the Comeragh Mountains, ex- tending south-southeast; the southwest part of the group is commonly called the Monavullagh Mountains. Knockanaffrin (2,478) lies 6 miles southeast of Clonmel ; four miles southwest from Coumshingaun is Seefin (2,387). In the south the Drum Hills (993) run east- southeast chiefly through the barony of the Decies-Without-Drum. COAST LINE. —Generally f?peaking, the coast of Waterford is rocky, inhospitable, and danger- ous. Several sandy bays and stretches of sandy coast interrupt the reeky margin ; but the coast is, on the whole, not much indented by bays and harbors. HEADLANDS.— Cheek Point stands at the confluence of the Barrow and Suir; south of which is Creaden Head, projecting eastward into Waterford Harbor. Swine's Head stands oppo- site Hood Head on the Wexford side, both mark- ing the entrance of Waterford Harbor. Browns- town Head and Great Newtown Head are at opposite sides of the entrance to Tramore Bay ; and in the bay itself is Slate Point, a long sandy projection dividing the outer from the inner strand. West of this is Dunabrattin Head, near Knockmahon. Ballyvoyle Head, toward Dun- garvan Harbor, is a clilf 243 feet high; and Helviek Head, at the south side of the entrance of Dungarvan Harbor, is 231 feet high. South of this is Mine Head; and at the south side of Ardmore Harbor are Ardmore Head and Bam Head. ISLANDS. — Little Island, nearly a mile in length and breadth, lies in the Suir below Water- ford. Sheep Island, Burke's Island, and Green Island, west of Tramore, are mere sea rocks. BAYS AND HARBORS.— Waterford Harbor separates Waterford from Wexford. Off this is Dunmore Bay, with cliffs pierced by numerous caves. A little to the west of W^aterford Har- bor is Tramore Bay, with its extensive sandy beach. Bunmahon Bay is at the mouth of the Mahon River. Dungarvan Harbor has also a very extensive area of sandy strand. Ardmore Bay lies outside the village of Ardmore ; west of which is Whiting Bay. Lastly, Youghal Har- bor, which separates Waterford from Cork, is the estuary of the Blackwater Rivex'. RIVERS.— The Blackwater first touches Waterfoixl beside Kilmurry (in Cork); then separates this countj- from Cork for two miles; next flows through Waterford, as far as the mouth of the Tourig River, 14 miles; .-ind from that to the mouth, 3 miles more, it separates Cork from Waterford. From the place where it WATERFORD. enters Waterford down to Yougbal it exhibits a continuous succession of the finest river scenes in Ireland. The following are the tributaries of the Black- water, belonging wholly or partly to Waterford : On the right bank; south of Lismore, the Owbeg, the Bride (rising in Cork), the Glen- dine, and the Tourig (rising in Cork). On the left bank; the Glenmore, the Oweunashad, and the Glenshelane Eiver, come southward from the Knockmealdown Mountain; the Finisk joins at Affane, drawing some of its headwaters from Tipperary; a little south of this is the Goish ; and further south still is the Lickej', which flows from the Drum Hills. The Suir first touches Waterford at the mouth of the Nier; and from that point to its mouth bounds the county, except for 4 miles at Water- ford citj', where a single parish of Waterford county lies at the north side of the river. The Waterford tributaries of the Suir are the follow- ing. The Nier flows west through the fine valley of Glenahiry, and joins the Suir at Ballymakee. A little north of this is the Russellstown River. The Glasha flows north through the pretty Glenijatrick, and joins nearly opposite Kilshee- lan. The Clodiagh rises chiefly in Knocka- naffriu, and falls into the Suir 1| mile below Portlaw ; one of its early feeders, the Ire, rises near Coumshingaun, within 2 miles of the source of the Nier. A number of small rivers flow southward into the ocean. The Woodstown River is a little west of Tramore. The Mahon River rises near the sources of the Nier and the Ire, and falls into the sea at Bunmahon. The Tay rises near the sources of Nier, the Ire, and the Mahon, and falls into the sea near Stradbally. The Dalligan is west of Ballyvoyle Head. The Colligan enters the sea at Dungarvan; one of its early tribu- taries, the Araghlin rises in Seefin Mountain. The Brickey falls into Dungarvan Harbor. LAKES. — Bally Lough, about half a mile long, lies between Waterford Harbor and Tra- more Bay ; Ballyscanlan Lake, near Tramore, is still smaller. The lakes of the Comeraghs are all small, but some are very remarkable. Coum- shingaun, one of the grandest mountain lakes in Ireland, is nearly half a mile in length, lies in a tremendous chasm on the side of the highest part of the Comeraghs, with a wall of rock rising over it at one side, more than 1,000 feet high. Near it are Crotty's Lough, the two Comeragh Loughs, and the two Coumstilloge Loughs; Coumduala Lough is on the side of Knockanaffrin. TOWNS.— Waterford (22,457), on the Suir, noted for its splendid quay. The other towns on the Suir and its tributaries are as follows: A portion of Clonmel, containing 52 inhabitants, lies on the Waterford side of the river. Carrick- beg (1,166) is the Waterford suburb of Carrick- on-Suir. Passage (688), or Passage East, is in a pretty situation on the shore, where Waterford Harbor begins to open out with a ferry across the broad river. Lower down stands the village of Dunmore (345), on a lovely little bay, a grow- ing watering place. Below Carrick-on-Suir, oh the Clodiagh River, is Portlaw (1,891), noted for its cotton factories, but now less prosperous than formerly. The following towns are on the Blackwater. Lismore (1,860), situated in the midst ''Z splen- did and beautiful scenerj^ with Lismore Castle besido it, on the top of a cliff over the Black- water. The town dates its origin from a monas- terj' founded there in the 6th century by St. Carthach; and it became one of Ireland's most celebrated religious centers. Cappoquin (1,555) stands at the angle where the Blackwater turns south, and is beautifully situated at the base of the Knockmealdown Mountains. On the slope of the mountain over the town stands the Trap- pist monastery of Mount Melleray. Near the Bride, 6 miles above its junction with the Black- water, is Tallow (1,232). The following towns are on the southern coast. Dungarvan (6,306), on Dungarvan Bay, is the second town of the county ; situated on a point of land jutting out into the bay at the mouth of the river Colligan; chief business, fishery. Tramore (2,036), on Tramore Baj^ is the best known bathing place on the coast between Bray and Youghal. Kilmacthomas (585), is inland; situated on the sloping sides of a deep glen through which flows the river Mahon. MINERALS. — The copper mines of Knockma- hon, at the mouth of the river Mahon, were long successfully worked, and were verj"- productive; but the works have latelj' been discontinued. WATERFORD. ANCIENT DmSIONS AND DESIGNA- TIONS. — "VVaterford formed a part of the ancient Bub-kingdom of Orrnond. The country of the southern Desi anciently included uearb' the whole county of Waterford, as it extended from Lismore to Creadan Head, and from the Suir southward to the sea; its name is now preserved by the two baronies of Decies (see Meath). CUREAGHMORE.— This manificent demesne, situated in the midst of woody scenes, and wild and varied prospects forming delightful combi- nations, embraces nearly five thousand acres of ground, and is the seat of the Poers, or Beres- fords, marquises of "VVaterford. The mansion is of comparatively modei-n date being erected in 1700 on the site of an ancient castle of which some portions still remain. The characteristic of Curraghmore, says Rev. Mr. Ryland, in his his- tory of the county, is grandeur; not that arising from the costly and laborious exertions of man, but rather the magnificence of nature. The beauty of the situation consists in the lofty hills, rich vales and almost impenetrable woods, which deceive the eye, and give the idea of almost boundless magnitude. The variety of the scenery is calculated to please in the highest degree, and to gcatify every taste ; from the lofty moun- tain to the quiet and sequestered walk on the bank of the river, every gradation of rural beauty may oe enjoyed. LISMORE CASTLE.— Lismore— "the great fort" — was one of the most noted seats of learning in Ireland, when the island was the great school for all Europe. Over 4,000 students thronged its halls, among whom, it is stated, was Alfred the Great. The principal feature of the place to-day is the castle, which stands on the site of a famous university. It owes its origin to Henry II., who visited Lismore when in Ireland, and was impressed with the strategic value of the spot. The structure was erected by his son King John, in 1185. Four years later it was captured and destroyed by the Irish, who slew the garrison, but was subsequently rebuilt. It has been the scene of many historic events. At the eastern end is the tower of King James, so called from James II. having rested there during the War of the Revolution ; and to the rear that of King John, which derives its name from being the scene of the first English Parliament held in Ireland under his presidency. The cas- tle stands on the bank of the beautiful Black- water, and is at present owned by the Duke oi Devonshire. WESTMEATH. NAME.— See Meath. SIZE AND POPULATION,— Length from Athlone to the boundary point southeast of Clon- mellon, 43| miles ; breadth from Finnea to Kin- negad, 26 miles ; breadth from the river Inny, near Ballynacarrigy, to the boundary near Kahugh, 21 miles ; area, 708| square miles ; popu- lation 71,798. SURFACE. — Westmeath contains no moun- tains. There are a number of low hills in the barony of Fore, fi'om 500 to 849 feet high, and a few in the adjoining baronies of Corkaree and Farbill.' The rest of the county — that is, nearly the whole area — is level, broken here and there by low swells and sandridges or eskers, but in general very flat, with a good deal of bog, espe- cially in the south and east. But though level, Westmeath is generally very pretty, abounding in lovely quiet landscapes. RIVERS. — The Inny, issuing from Lough Sheelin at the northern extremity of the countj', forms the boundary between "Westmeath and Cavan, during its short run of a mile by the vil- lage of Finnea, from Lough Sheelin to Lough Kinale. Issuing from Lough Kinale, it flows southward, forming the boundary between West- meath and Longford for 6 miles, and then enters Westmeath beside Camagh Bridge; it continues its southern course to Lough Derravaragh, which it enters at its northwestern end ; then flows out from the long Avestern corner of the lake, and runs southwest into Lough Iron ; issuing from which at the northwest corner, it runs west- wardly, forms for 5 miles the boundary between Westmeath and Longford, and then enters Long- ford ; having again run on the boundary of West- meath and Longford for a mile, it finally enters Longford, and ends its course in the northeast- ern angle of Lough Ree. The following are the Westmeath tributaries of the Inny. The Glore rises in Lough Glore, near Castlepollard, and flows northwest; the Gaine flows from Lough Drin and Brittas Lake, seat of Lough Owel, and enters the western arm of Lough Derravaragh; the Riffey comes fromi Longford, flows southeast, and joins the Inny halfway between Lough Derravaragh and Lough Iron; the Black River comes from Longford, flows parallel to the Riffey, and enters Lough Iron; the Rath River rises near the Hill of Ushnagh and flowing northwest, enters Long- ford; the Tang runs on the boundary of West- meath and Longford for 3 miles, and then joins the Inny, just where the later touches West- meath for the last time ; the chief headwater of the Tang is the Dungolman River. In the southwest of the county, the Breensford River runs westward from Twy Lough to Killi- nure Lough; and the Boor River runs west from near Moate, and joins the Shannon at the bound- ary of Westmeath and Kings Count}'. The Brosna rises near Mullingar, flows south- westward through the town, and enters Lough Ennell ; issuing from which at the southern end, it flows southwestward through Kilbeggan, a little below which it forms the boundary between Westmeath and Kings County ; then crosses a corner of Westmeath, and enters Kings County beside Lismoyny. The Monaghanstown River flows southeast and enters Lough Ennell near where the Brosna issues from it. West of this the Gageborough River draws its headwaters from Westmeath, and enters Kings County at Horseleap to join the Brosna. All the rivers of the east and southeast flow to the Boyne. These are as follows : The Stones- town River draws some of its headwaters from Meath, near Clonmellon, flows across the north- east corner of Westmeath, and again enters Meath ; the Dale flows southeastward, and form- ing for a short distance the boundary between Meath and Westmeath a little east of Killucan, finally enters Meath; the Kinnegad River flows by Kinnegad, running on the boundary between Meath and Westmeath, and then enters Meath; southwest of which, the Milltown River rises in the barony of Fartullagh, and leaves Westmeath to join the Yellow River before its confluence with the Boyne. Thus the eastern edge of the countj' belongs WESTMEATH. to the basin of the Boyne, and all the rest to the basin of the Shannon. LAKES. — Westmeath is remarkable for its fine lakes. Lough Ree lies on the western border, of which Lough Killinure and Coosan Lake, which lie wholly in Westmeath, are only branches. Lough Shelieu and Lough Kinale on the northern border belong chiefly to other counties, the first to Cavan, and the second to Longford. Near these on the east, in the barony of Kil- kenny West, are the small lakes of Doonis, Cree- gan, Makeegan, Waterstown, Robin's Lake, and Twy Lough. Glen Lough, in the northwest, lies on the boundary with Longford. The three Bmall lakes, Lough Naneagh, White Lough and Lough Bane, in the northeast, are on the bound- ary with Meath. Lough Ennell or Belvidere Lake, southwest of Mullingar, is 5 miles long and 2 miles broad. Lough Owel, northwest of Mullingar is 4 miles long and 2 miles broad. Lake Derravaragh north of Lough Owel, is 9 miles long, and very narrow except at the northwest end, where it widens to .3 miles ; at the southeast end, the pretty hill of Knockeyon rises directb^ over the lake to a height of 707 feet. Lough L-on, north- west of Lough Owel, is 2| miles long and less than half a mile broad; a little north of which is the small Lough Garr. Two or three miles northeast of Mullingar is a group of small lakes. Lough Drin, Brittas Lough, Slevins Lake and Lough Sheever. ISLANDS.— The following Islands of Lough Ree belong to Westmeath ; on most of them there are church ruins. Inchmore; Nuns Island; Inishturk ; Leveret Island ; Hare Island in the south, on which St. Kieran erected a church be- fore he founded Clonmacnoise, and which now contains the ruin of a church dedicated to him ; and luchbofin, on which. St. Rioc erected a church in the 6th century, and which still con- tains some ecclesiastical ruins. In Lough Ennel is Great Island, and near it Croincha or Cormo- rant Island, on which Malachy, king of Ireland, died in 1022. In Lough Owel is Church Island, on which is the ruin of a church. TOWNS.— Mullingar (4,787), the assize town, stands on the Brosna near its source, in the center of the county, and nearly midway be- tween Loughs Ennel and Owel. Lower down on the Brosna, in the extreme south of the county, is Kilbeggan (1,033). Athlone (6,755 of whom 3,683 are in that part of the town belonging to Roscommon), built on both sides of the Shannon a little below where it issues from Lough Ree, is the most considerable town between Dublin and Galway, and was always an important place on account of commanding a pass on the Shannon. In this southwestern division of the county, near the boundary with Kings County, is Moate or Moate-Granoge (1,462), beside which is the great Moat, an ancient fortified dun, which gave name to the town. In the north of the county, near Lough Lene, is Castlepollard (852); and beside the southeast boundary is Kinnegad (424). In the northeast is the village of Delvin (276), which retains the name of a very ancient territory; near which, beside the boundary with Meath, is Clonmellon (456). ANCIENT DIVISIONS AND DESIGNA- TIONS. — The western half of the county consti- tute the ancient district of South Teffia, sepa- rated from North Teffia (see Longford) by the river Inny. The ancient district of Kineleagb, possessed by the family of MacGeoghegan, in- cluded a portion of the south of Westmeath, nearly coincident with the present barony of Moycashel. The barony of Kilkenny West is coextensive with the old district of Curcne. One of the ancient districts called Delvin, viz., Delvin-more or the Great Delvin, was in West- meath, and is still represented by the present barony of Delvin in the east of the county. The baronies of Farbill, Corkaree Moygoish, and Brawney, also retain the names of old historic districts. The Hill of Ushnagh, between the village of Ballymore and Lough Ennel, was constituted a royal residence by Tuathal the Acceptable, king of Ireland in the first century, who erected a palace on it. He also instituted a yearly meet- ing to be held on the hill on the first of May and the succeeding days, at Avhich games were cele- brated and various pagan rites were performed. Before this king's time the five provinces of Ire- land met at the Hill of Ushnagh, and the point of meeting was marked by a stone called Aill-na- Mirenn, or the stone of the divisions; this stone still remains on the hill, and is now called Cat- Ushnagb. WEXFORD. NAME.— The name Wexford is Danish; the old form is Weis-liord. The Gaelic name is Loch-Garmau. SIZE AND POPULATION.— Length from Hook Head to the boundary near Coolgreany, 55 miles; breadth from New Koss to Carnsore Point. , 29 miles ; breadth from Mt. Leinster to the coast near Blackwater, 23 miles ; area, 901 square miles; population, 123,854. SURFACE.— The northwest margin has a grand mountain fringe. On the northern fron- tier, the "Wicklow Mountains subsiding toward the south, send spurs and offshoots into Wexford. A series of high lands begin a little southeast of New Eoss in the west, and run northeast toward Enniscorthy. A district running from Croghan Kinsella toward the southwest to Slieveboy is all hilly. The southeast angle of the county, namely, the two baronies of Forth and Bargy, terminating in Carnsore Point, is a dead level, guarded on the northwest by a small mountain knot. The rest of the county, constituting far the greater part, is a plain, diversified by ridges and isolated hills. MOUNTAINS AND HILLS.— Between Wex- ford and Carlow run the ranges of Mount Lein- ster (2,610) and Blackstairs (2,409), separated by Scullogue Gap, which have been described in Carlow. Black Rock Mountain (1,972), 2 miles east of Mount Leinster, lies wholly in Wexford. In the north the conspicuous tCroghan Kinsella (1,987) lies on the boundary with Wicklow. Southwest of this is Annagh Hill (1,498) ; and still further southwest Slieveboy (1,385) — 5 miles north of Ferns — is the terminating spur of these hills. Tara Hill (826), which stands quite de- tached near the coast 3 miles northeast of Gorey, is very conspicuous, and commands a fine view. Forth Mountain (776), a long ridgy hill begin- ning 2 miles from Wexford, and extending about 4 miles toward the southwest, is a sort of bai-rier separating the two level baronies of Forth and Bargy from the rest of the county. COAST LINE.— The coast is low, and for the most part sandy, interrupted in a few places by fringes of rock; it is unbroken from Kilmichael Point to the Raven Point; but from this to Waterford Harbor it is much indented by inlets. HEADLANDS.— Kilmichael Point in the north — only slightly projecting — marks the be- ginning of the Wexford coast. Roney Point, Glascarrig Point, and Cahore Point can hardly be called headlands. The Raven Point and Rosslare Point, which stand at opposite sides of the entrance to Wexford Harbor, are at the ex- tremities of two long sandy peninsulas. Gree- uore Point is at the southern extremity of the open Bay of Wexford ; and Carnsore Point marks the sudden and final turn of the coast to the west. West of this is Crossfarnoge or Forlorn Point. Clammers Point, scarped and rocky, but low, and Baginbun Head, are at the opposite sides of the entrance of Bannow Bay. Hook Head is the end of the long, rock-fringed penin- sula of Hook, which defines Waterford Harbor on the east ; at the point is the ancient Tower of Hook, now converted into a lighthouse. ISLANDS. — In Lady's Island Baj', near Carn- sore Point, are the two little islets, Inish and Lady's Island, the latter containing the ruins of a castle built by one of the Anglo-Norman adven- turers. In Tacumshin inlet, west of this, is the low sandy islet of Sigginstown. Immediately south of Crossfarnoge Point are the Saltee Islands, consisting of Great Saltee, a little more than a mile in length, and the Little Saltee, three-quarters of a mile. In Bally teige Bay are the Keeragh Islands, a rocky reef, low and dan- gerous. Bannow Island, a mile in length, lies just inside the entrance of Bannow Bay; on the mainland shore opposite it is the old buried town of Bannow, which has been quite covered up by the sand within the last 200 years. Five miles east-southeast of Greenore Point is the Tuskar Rock, a well-known dangerous reef, the scene of many shipwrecks, now marked by a lighthouse. BAYS AND HARBORS.— Wexford Harbor, at the mouth of the Slaney, is large and shel- iVEXFOKD. tered, but shallow and sandj-. Outside this, be- tween Rosslare Point and Greenore Point, is Wexford Bay. The remaining inlets are all on the south coast. Lady's Island Lake and Tacum- shin Lake lie near Carnsore Point. Ballyteige Bay is broad and open. Bannow Bay east of the peninsula of Hook is long, narrow, and sandj-. Waterford Harbor separates Wexford from Waterford. EIVERS.— The Barrow first touches Wexford at the mouth of the Pollmounty Kiver; and the western boundary is formed first by this river and afterward by the united waters of the Bar- row, the Suir, and the Nore ; the whole distance from the mouth of the Pollmountj- Eiver to Hook Head is about 31 miles. The following are the Wexford tributaries of the Barrow and the Suir. One of the head streams of the Mountain Eiver (which joins the Barrow near Borris, in Carlow) rises in Wexford, and runs into Carlow through Scullogue Gap (where it is called the Aughna- brisky). A little further south the Drummin Eiver rises in Wexford, but soon enters Carlow. The Pollmounty Eiver joins the Barrow 5 miles in a straight line above New Eoss, forming for the last mile of its course the boundary between Wexford and Carlow. , The Slaney, from the point where it first touches Wexford to Newtownbarry, a distance of 3 miles, separates Carlow from Wexford ; it enters Wexford at Newtownbarry, and flows through this county for the rest of its course to Wexford Harbor. The following are the tribu- taries of the Slaney belonging wholly or partly to Wexford. On the right or western bank, the Clody rises in Mount Leinster, and joins the Slaney at Newtownbarry. South of this is the Glasha, flowing from Black Eock Mountain. The Urrin rises on the east slope of Mt. Leins- ter, flows southeast, and joins half a mile below Enniscorthy. The Boro rises in Blackstairs Mountain, and falls into the Slaney 2| miles below Enniscorthy; it has for tributaries the Miltown Stream on the left bank, and the Aughnaglaur on the right bank. On the right bank the Slaney is joined by the Derry Eiver, which, coming from Wicklow, forms the boun- dary between Wexford and Wicklow for the last S miles of its course, and joins 2 miles in a straight line above Newtownbarry. The Bann rises in the southern slopes of Croghan Kinsella, flows south-southwest, and joins 4 miles above Enniscorthy ; about ike middle of its course it is itself joined on the right bank by the Last The Sow rises near Ballaghkeen, and falls into Wexford Harbor. The following rivers fall into the sea. In the north the Clonough Eiver. The Owenavorragh rises near Oulart, flows northward, and then turning east, enters the sea east of Gorey. The Owenduff and the Corock run southward into the head of Bannow Bay. TOWNS.— Wexford (12,163), the assize town, on the shore of Wexford Harbor, was the first place of any consequence taken by the Anglo- Normans in the reign of Henry II. Enniscorthy" (5,G66) is situated on the slope of a steep hill which rises over the Slaney; in the town is the! ruin of a very fine Anglo-Norman castle, origin- ally built by Eaymond le Gros, and also some abbey ruins. Higher up on the Slaney is the pretty little town of Newtownbarry (960), situ-/ ated in a wooded vallej' traversed by the river. On the western side of the county is New Eosa (6,670, of whom 295 are in that part of the town belonging to Kilkenny), in a beautiful situation on the Barrow; it is the second town of the county, and has considerable trade by the Barrow. The village of Duncannon (479) is[ situated on the shore of Waterford Harbor; and near it, on a rocky headland over the river, is a strong military fort with a lighthouse. In the northeast of the county, three miles from the sea- shore, is Gorey (2,450). Three-quarters of a mile from the shore of the Bann is the ancient episcopal town of Eerns (495), which derived its origin from a church founded there in the 6th century by the celebrated St. Aidan, or Maidoc, its first bishop, on a site granted to him by BrandufE, king of Leinster. MINEEALS. — Copper ore is found at Kerloge, a little south of the town of Wexford; and lead ore at Cairn, northwest of Enniscorthy. Silver was in former times raised at Clonmines, at the head of Bannow Bay, and the ancient mines are still to be seen. ANCIENT DIVISIONS AND DESIGNA- TIONS.— The descendants of Enna Kinsella, king of Leinster in the 4th century, were called Hy Kinsella, and gave their name to a large WEXFORD. territory in Leinster, which included a great portion of Wexford; the name of this old dis- trict is still preserved by the mountain Croghan Kinsella. The southern Hy Felimy, who after the 10th century took the family name of O'Murcada (now Murphy), were seated in the present barony of Ballaghkeen (see Carlow, for the northern Hy Felimj-). The barony of Forth preserves the name of the old territory of Foth- arta, for which see Carlow. ILLTJSTR_A.TIO]SrS, VINEGAE HILL.— Overlooking the historic town of Enniscorthy is the equally historic Vine- gar Hill, an elevation about 400 feet in height. This spot is chiefly memorable for the bloody conflicts that occurred there in the great rebel- lion of 1798. The half-armed, and poorly-led peasants held their own for a time against the fully armed 20,000 troops of General Lake, but were finally overcome. British writers attribute "atrocities" to the insurgents during the time they were in possession of Vinegar Hill, but they neglect to state that any acts of retaliation that were exercised were provoked by the British soldiery, who, not only in Wexford but else- where, gave no quarter; and perpetrated on non- combatants, and women and children, cruelties and infamies from which even Comanches or Apaches would shrink. Vinegar Hill will al- ways remain an undying monument to Irish valor and patriotism. ST. PETER'S CHAPEL AND COLLEGE. — Of the noteworthy modern buildings of the town of Wexford the most prominent are the above named, which present an imposing view from their site on Summer Hill. The church is elegantly finished and is adorned with beautiful rose windows, and the college occupies a foremost place among the Catholic institutions of learning in Ireland. Wexford is a place of great antiquity, the town having been founded hy the Danes in the 9th century, who named it Weisfiord or Washford from the shallowness of the water at low tide. It is situated on the river Slaney, so called from Slainge, a Firbolg chief who landed there about 1,300 years before the Christian era. The town has played a conspicu- ous part in Irish history from the landing of the Normans in the 12th century down to the great Irish Rebellion of 1798. Among the many memorable incidents of its history is the brutal massacre of more than three hundred women and children at the foot of the cross in the market square of the town by the Puritan butcher, Cromwell. I WICKLOW NAME. — Tbe old form of the name is Wykyn- glo or Wykinlo, -which is Danish. The native Gaelic name is Kilmantan, the church of St. Mactan, one of St. Patrick's companions, to whom the ancient church of the place was dedicated. SIZE AND POPULATION.— Length from Bray to the southern corner near Ballingate House, 41 miles; breadth from Mizeu Head to the boundary near Dunlaviu, 31| miles; area, 781^ square miles; population, 70,386. SUEFACE.—It may be said that the whole of "Wicklow is a mass of mountains, subsiding into low hills, ridged land, and small plains, along the seacoast south of Bray Head. Wicklow contains a smaller area of level land than any other county in Ireland. MOUNTAINS AND HILLS.— The Wicklow Mountains do not run in chaips, br*; are thrown together in groups, knots, and clusters; or rather the whole may be said to form one great group; and in many places the mountain masses are intersected in a very remarkable way by long ravines, mostly straight with very abrupt and often precipitous sides. The culminating sum- mit of the whole group is Luguaquillia (3,039), standing a little to the southwest of the center of the county, a great flap-topped mountain, the highest in Leinster, precipitous on some of its sides, overlooking the Glen of Imaile on its western side, Glenmalur on the northeast, and the Glen of Aghavannagh on the south. One mile southwest of Luguaquillia is Slievemaan (2,498), beside which, a mile to the south, is Lybagh (2,053). Four miles west of these is the fine detached mountain of Keadeen (2,145), separated from the preceding by Ballinabarny Gap. The following mountains are on or near the north margin. Kippure (2,473), on the boun- dary of Dublin and "Wicklow, overlooking Glen- nasmoleon the north or Dublin side, Glencree on the east, and the valley of the infant Liffey on the west. On the boundary also are Seefingan (2,864), northwest of Kippure (but its summit is in Wicklow), and east of Kippure Prince Will- iam's Seat (1,825), standing on the north side of Glencree. Along the south side of Glencree are TondufiE North (2,045) andTonduff South (2,107), near each other, and Maulin (1,869). On the south side of these again winds the long valley of tbe Dargle Eiver; this valley has on its south side these remarkable mountains : War Hill (2,250); Douce (2,384), with a great cam on its summit, overtopping all the mountains round it; Long Hill (1,073); Great Sugar Loaf (1,659), a beautiful detached cone command- ing from its summit a landscape of surpassing loveliness, including Bray and the beautiful line of coast toward Dublin ; beside it Little Sugar Loaf (1,12C). The last spur of this series is Bray Head (793), hanging directlj^ over the sea. The road running between the two Sugar Loaf Mountains traverses, about a mile further south, the Glen of the Downs, a deep defile, quite straight and a mile in length, with its sid-js luxuriantly wooded. In the northwest of the county the road from Dublin to Blessington and Baltinglass traverses a long valley, overtopped on its southeast side by a number of loftj' mountains. Beginning at the north : Butter Mountain (1,469) stands near the Dublin boundary ; and near it on the west is Dowry (1,060). Further south are Sorrel Hill (1,975) and Bulbauu (1,190). Southeast of these are three great mountains in a line, forming the highest iiart of the separating ridge between the basins of the Liffey and the Avoca; Gravale (2,352), Duff Hill (2,364), and Mullaghcleevaun (2,783), the loftiest of all the mountains in this district. A little Avest of Mullaghcleevaun is Moanbane (2,313); and further west Slievecorragh (1,379) stands over the village of Holywood; a little south of which is Slieve Gadoe or Church Mountain (1,791), the western spur of the ridgce that separates the basin of the Kings Kiver and the Liffey from the basin of the Slaney. Over Glendalough, in the center of the county. WICKLOW. is Lugduff, towering over the Upper Lake, Mul- lacor (2,176) — ^(tbis latter midway between Glendalough and Glenmalur) — and Derrybawn (1,567), all three south of the glen; and to the east is Trooperstown Hill (1,408), standing nearly detached. North of the glen is Cama- derry (2,296); and 2 miles north from this is Tonlegee (2,684). The road running westward from the valley of Glendasan to the valley of the Kings River attains its summit level (1,569 feet) midway between these two mountains; this re- markable mountain pass is called "Wicklow Gap. In the south of the county, Croghan Kinsella (1,987) stands on the boundary between Wick- low and Wexford. COAST LINE: HEADLANDS: BAYS AND HARBORS.— Except at Bray Head and Wicklow Head the whole coast is low, with a fine sandy strand the whole way, occasionally interrupted by a low projecting spur of I'ock. It is a most inhospitable coast, containing no harbor where vessels might shelter, except those of Wicklow and Arklow, which can scarcelj^ be called harbors at all; what is called Brittas Bay lies north of Mizen Head. At Wicklow there is a long narrow shallow inlet called Broad Lough, separated from the open sea hy the long grassy spit of land called the Murrow; but it is useless for navigation. Bray Head is a fine rocky promon- tory rising straight from the sea to a height of 793 feet; and Wicklow Head, another rocky pro- jection, is 268 feet high. Mizen Head, rocky but low, lies south of this. RIVERS.— The Avoca, falling into the sea at Arklow, drains most of the middle and east of the county, and is the most important river of Wicklow. The Avoca is formed by the junction of the Avonmore and Avonbeg ; and the point of confluence is the well-known beautiful spot, the "Meeting of the W^aters. '*' Halfway between this and Arklow the Avoca is joined from the west by an important tributary, the Aughrim River; the point of meeting is usually called the Wooden Bridge, and often the "Second Meeting of the Waters, " and it vies in beauty with the principal Meeting 4 miles higher up. From the principal Meeting down to Arklow the Avoca flows between high wooded banks, presenting a succession of lovely quiet landscapes; this is the beautiful glen so well known as the "Vale of Avoca. " The three main branches of the Avoca, the Avonmore, and the Avonbeg, and the Augh- rim, have a number of smaller affluents which traverse many of the finest glens in Wicklow. These three rivers, with their affluents, are de- scribed in detail in the three following para- graphs. The following are the chief headwaters of the Avonmore : The Annamoe River rises near Sally Gap, Vv'ithin about half a mile of the source of the Liffey, falls into Lough Tay in the valley of Luggela, and two miles below Lough Tay falls into Lough Dan; issuing from this, it flows southward by the hamlets of Annamoe and Laragh, after which it takes the name of Avon- more; and traversing the lovely vale of Clara, it passes by Rathdrum to the Meeting of the Waters, 3 miles below the town. Between Lough Tay and Lough Dan, the Annamoe River receives the Cloghoge Brook, rising in Gravale Mountain ; and into Lough Dan falls the Incha- vore River, rising in Duff Hill. Three fine glens converge on the village of Laragh; first Glen- macnass, traversed by the Glenmacnass River, which joins the Annamoe River beside the vil- lage; secondly, the vale of Glendasan, through which flows the Glendasan River, rising in Lough Nahanagan ; and thirdly, Glendalough, traversed by the Glenealo River; these two last rivers join at the Seven Churches, and the united stream falls in to the Annamoe beside Laragh. The Avonbeg rises in Table Mountain and in the Three Lakes, and not far from its source forms the fine Ess waterfall, on the side of Table Mountain and at the head of Glenmalur; it next traverses Glenmalur, one of the grandest moun- tain valleys in Ireland, about 10 miles long, straight and narrow, and walled in on either side by rocky, precipitous barriers ; after which it joins the Avonmore a little beyond the mouth of the glen. The Aughrim River is formed by the junction of two head streams, the Derry Water and the Ow; which latter rises in Lugnaquillia and traverses the Aghavannagh valley ; the two meeting at the hamlet of Aughrim ; lower down the Aughrim River is joined by the Gold Mines, from the northern slope of the mountain Croghan Kinsella. WICKLOW. The Yartry rises in the valley at the eastern base of Douce Mountain, and after flowing south- ward about 5 miles is caught by an artificial embankment at the hamlet of Eoundwood, so as to form a reservoir, which supplies the citj' of Dublin with water; that portion of the river that escapes from the reservoir traverses the Devil's Glen, a splendid ravine, narrow and winding, with loftj' precipitous sides well wooded to the top; after which it falls into the sea inlet of Broad Lough, beside the town of Wicklow. The Dargle Kiver rises high up in the valley between War Hill and Tonduff, and after run- ning east about 2 miles, tumbles over a cliff be- tween 200 and 300 feet high, forming Powers- court Waterfall, the finest in Wicklow; then passing through the beautiful valley of Powers- court, it traverses the Dargle, a lovely winding narrow gorge, clothed with oak on both sides ; and finally falls into the sea at Bray, where it is called the Bray Kiver; it forms the boundary with Dublin for the last mile and a half of its course Halfway between Powerscourt Waterfall and the head of the Dargle glen, the Dargle Kiver is joined by the Glencree Kiver, which traverses the wild valley of Glencree, about 5 miles long, with Kippure towering over its head, and walled in by the Tonduff Mountains and Maulin on the south, and by Prince William's Seat on the north. At the head of this valley, near Lough Bray, is the well-known Glencree Keformatory, which was originally a militai-y barrack, erected in 1799. The Cookstowu Kiver, which comes from Dublin, passes by Enniskerr^', and joins the Dargle River below the Dargle Glen. The Liffey rises in the glen at the south side of Kippure, 13 miles in a straight line from Dublin city; flowing at first westward, and re- ceiviug from the south a number of its early tributaries from the three mountains, Gravale, Duff, and Mullaghcleevaun, it flows by Blessing- ton ; then forms for 2 miles, near Ballymore Eus- tace, the boundary between Kildare and Wicklow ; while flowing on the boundary it forms the fine waterfall of Pollaphuca; and half a mile lower down it enters Kildare. A little below Blessing- ton the Liffey is joined by the Kings Kiver, which rises at the south side of Mullaghcleevaun, and which, before its junction with the Liffey, receives the Douglas on the left bank and the Cock Brook on the right. At Kilbride, a little above Blessington, the Liffey receives from the north the Britfcas River, which rises in Dublin. The Slaney rises high up on the side of Luguaquillia, and flows westward through the Glen of Imaile, one of the grandest valleys of the whole county; then turning south near Stratford, it flows by Baltinglass, and 3 miles further south enters the county Carlow. In the Glen of Imaile it is joined by the Little Slaney, which also rises in Luguaquillia. The Derreen rises in the mountains of Lybagh and Slievemaan, and flowing southwest crosses a corner of Car- low, then forms for 5 miles the boundary be- tween Wicklow and Carlow, when it finally enters Carlow, and 2 miles lower joins the Slaney. The Derry River joins the Slaney in the county Carlow, near Clonegall; it comes from Wicklow (drawing some of its headwaters, however, from near Hacketstown in Carlow), flows by Tinahely, and takes the several names of Greenisland River, the Shillelagh River, and finally the Derry. On the east coast, south of Wicklow, these small rivers fall into the sea: the Three Mile Water; the Potter's River, into Brittas Bay; and the Redcross River, a little north of Arklow. LAKES. — On the Aunamoe Rivpr are Lough Tay, in the lovely vale of Luggela, and Lough Dan, 2 miles lower down. Southwest of these are Lough Ouler and Lough Nahanagan. In the vale of Glendalough are Upper Lake and Lower Lake; the former a mile in length, and over- hung b.v precipices that rise from the very water's edge ; the latter very small. At the head of Glencree are the two small lakes Lower Lough Bray and Upper Lough Braj', both on the side of Kippure; the former a very fine mountain tarn, black as ink, and overhung by gloomy precipices. TOWNS. — The following are on or very near the coast: Bray (6,535, of whom 2,148 are in that part of the town lying in Dublin), at the mouth of the Bray River, the finest and the most favored watering place in all Ireland; it lies under the north side of Braj' Head, has a fine strand, and in its immediate neighborhood there is an infinite variety of the loveliest scenery. Wicklow (3,391), the assize town, near the mouth of the Vartry River, lies at the north sid« WICKLOW. at Wicklow Head; this is also frequented as a watering place, and like Bray it has lying near it several beautiful localities. A mile and a half inland from Wicklow is the village of Rathuew (630). Near the southern extremity of the coast, at the mouth of the Avoca, is Arklow (4,777), in which herring fishing is carried on to a consid- erable extent. The following are inland: Baltinglass (1,151), on the Slaney, in the west of the county, near the boundary of Kildare. Eight miles north of Baltinglass is Dunlavin (615); and on the Lififes", in the northwest of the county, is Bless- ington (332), both of these also near the Kildare boundary. Eathdrum (733) stands on a high ridge over the Avonmore, three miles above the Meeting of the Waters. In the extreme south, beside the boundary of Wexford, is Carnew (701); near which on the north are the villages of Shillelagh (194), and Tinahely (458). MINERALS. — There are lead mines at Luga- nure (on the north side of Camaderry Mountain, between Glendalough and Lough Nahanagan) ; on the hillsides at the head of Glenmalure; and on the slope of the hill over the north side of the head of Glendalough. There are copper mines at Ballymurtagh and Ballygahan, on the right bank of the Avoca, as you go from the Meeting of the Waters down to the Wooden Bridge; and at Cronbane, Tigroney, and Connoree, on the left bank, near Castle Howard. Gold has been found in considerable quantities in the bed of the Gold Mines River, flowing down the north slope of Croghan Einsella to W'ooden Bridge. ANCIENT DIVISIONS AND DESIGNA- TIONS. — The old territory of Cualann or Crich- Cualann included the north part of Wicklow and the south part of the county Dublin; from this territory the Sugar Loaf Mountain was anciently called Slieve Cualann, the Mountain of Cualann. Glencullen, in the Dublin hills, and Cullenswood, at the south of the city, still preserve the old name. The Glen of Imaile preserves the name of the old territorj' of Hy Mail, which was taken possession of by the O'Tooles after they had been driven out of their original territory in Kildare. (See Kildare. ) Hy Mail was also known by the name of Fortuatha. The district possessed by the O 'Byrnes after they had been driven from Kildare was called Crich Brannach, or O 'Byrne's Country; it was situated in the east of the county, and included the whole of the barony of Newcastle, and the barony of Arklow as far south as the Redcross River. A sept of tho O 'Byrnes called the Gaval Rannall also possessed the territory lying round Glenmalur. This ter- ritory was from them called Gaval-Rannall or Ranelagh; their chief had his residence at Bal- linacor in Glenmalur, from which the two baro- nies of Ballinacor were so called. The old name is still preserved in that of Ranelagh, one of the south suburbs of Dublin. The vallej' of Glendalough lies about eight miles northwest of Rathdrum. It is about three miles in length, surrounded by mountains except at the east side, and in several places overhung by precipices. The Glenealo River, tumbling down a steep ravine at the head, traverses the glen and exjiands into two lakes, from which the whole valley has its name — Glen-da-lough, the glen of the two lakes. The Lugduff Brook, which falls into the Upper Lake through a deep ravine at the base of Lugduff Mountain, forms the pretty waterfall of Pollanass, near where it enters the lake. Considered merely in reference to the besvuty and singularity of its natural features, Glenda* lough is the gem of Wicklow; but the natural attractions are infinitely enhanced by the his- toric associations of the place, and by the in- teresting ecclesiastical ruins scattered over the lower part gf the glen. In the early part of the 6th century, St. Kevin, who, like St. Columkille and many other Irish saints, was a member of a princely familj', founded a monastery here, which became a great center of religion and learning. After St. Kevin's death the reputation of the place increased, so that it attracted not only a large number of ecclesiastics, but also a lay population ; and a town grew up, some remains of which are still to be seen near where the river emerges from the Lower Lake. The principal ruins are as follows : A Round Tower, 110 feet high, wanting the conical cap, erected probably in the 7th century. Our Lady's Church, near it, which contains a beautiful and characteristic example of an ancient Cyclopean doorway with sloping sides; there is reason to believe that this is the very church erected by St. Kevin when he had come to WICKLOW. settle in the lower part of the valley. Near these two stands Cro-Kevin, or St. Kevin's House (popularly called "St. Kevin's Kitchen"), •which served the founder both as a residence and and as an oratory ; it has a small round tower belfry on one gable. Near these is the Cathedral, coeval with the round tower. All the preced- ing are inclosed by a cashel, or stone wall, of which there are still some portions left, and the original entrance archway remains in good preservation. A little lower down, on the same bank of the river, is Trinity Church ; and lower still, on the opposite bank, the Priory of St. Saviour, a most interesting ruin. Higher up in the glen, on the south side of the Upper Lake, is the Reefert Church, which St. Kevin built while he lived at the head of the valley, and before the erection of Our Lady's Church. Higher up still, in an al- most inaccessible spot on the shore of the lake, under the gTeat precipice of Lugduif, is the little church called Temple-na-Skellig, of which only a small part remains. There are also several stone crosses and other monuments in different parts of the valley. A crevice in the face of the perpendicular cliff over the Upper Lake, difficult of access, is well known by the name of "St. Kevin's Bed." The preceding ruins are commonly known by name of "The Seven Churches of Glendalough.** ILLUSTIlA.TIOISrS. VALE OF AVOCA.— This spot, immortalized in the exquisite lyric of Thomas Moore, presents a combination of scenic beauty unsurpassed in one of the most picturesque localities in L'eland. It is a scene of softness and tranquillity rather than of sublimity or grandeur, of repose and peace rather than of wildness and elevating in- spiration. "The Meeting of the Waters" is formed by the junction of the rivers Avonmore and Avonbeg — the great and little rivers — and under the name of the Avoca the beautiful stream pursues its course through the vale to Arklow, some eight miles distant, and thence to the sea. "After all," writes a traveler, express- ing the regret that every tourist feels, after en- joying this enchanting view of nature, "the greatest fault of the Vale of Avoca is that it is so short. How gladly would the eye feast on more of those beautiful meadows, those bold crags, those ivy-mantled oaks!" The serene beautj' of the place has been somewhat marred by the in- troduction of the railway, and the operations of commerce. GLENDALOUGH.— Glendalough, or theGien of the Two Lakes, embraces a valley about two and a half miles long and from half a mile to a mile in breadth. In its somber solitude St. Kevin in the early part of the 6th century built an abbej' and laid the foundation of his monastic estab- lishment, which grew until it became a crowded city, a school of learning, and the abode of holy men, an asylum for the poor, a refuge for the oppressed, and a hospital for the sick. Here the saint lived to the uncommon age of 120 years. Of the remains of the ancient city and its sacred edifices are the Eouod Tower, the Cathedral, Our Lady's Church, and St. Kevin's House or Kitchen, and at a little distance Trinity Church, St. Saviour's, the Church of Eheafert, and St. Kevin's Bed. The erection of the cathedral is attributed to Goban Saer, the Celebrated archi- tect of the 7th century. Thomas Moore, with, perhaps, an undue flavor of levity, has made the legend of St. Kevin and the Lake of Glenda- lough the subject of one of the Irish melodies. BEAT HEAD.— Bray Head, a magnificent promontory rising some 800 feet above the shore of the Irish Sea, is the center of one of the most beautiful scenic localities in Ireland. A wind- ing carriage road leads to its summit, from whence the eye of the tourist on a fine daj' is almost dazzled by the changing panoramic scene around him. Beneath is the thriving and hand- some town of Bray, much frequented as a Welter- ing place, while to the east spreads the Irish Sea, over whose waters on a clear day may be dis- cerned the outlines of the Welsh Mountains; to the west "War Hill and the Douce, and the greater and lesser Sugar Loaf, while to the south lies the Glen of the Downs, which combines at once the beauties of a glen and a huge ravine. The O'Tooles and O'Byrnes, the heroic chiefs of I WICKLOW. the district, inaintained their independence down to the close of the reign of Elizabeth. PO^'EESCOUET CASTLE AND TEEEACE. ■ — The demesne of Powerscourt for beauty and variety of scenery is unsurpassed by any spot in Ireland, both in point of embellishment of nature and art. It is situated on the Dargle, a charm- ing, limpid stream, that flows through the far- famed glen of that name. The estate contains l,-400 acres, and the castle occupies a command- ing position on an eminence overlooking the magnificent wooded valley at its base, and afford- ing an ample view of the various attractive fea- tures and romantic scenery of the glen and the surrounding countrj^, equallj' rich in natural beauties. A splendid terrace leads from the stately mansion to the stream below. Powers- court is a favorite resort of tourists and pleasure parties. Tinnehinch, once the seat of the patriot Grattan, purchased for him by his countrymen, at a cost of $250,000, forms a part of this beau- tiful landscape. o o o < Q O ARCHBISHOP McHALE BISHOP SHEEHAN, WATERFORD AND LISMORE.

CHAPTEE I. aOW THE MILESIaNS SOUGHT AND FOUND "tHE PROM- ISED isle" and conquered it. The earliest settlement or colonization of Ire- land, of which there is tolerably precise and sat- isfactory information, was that by the sons of Miledh or Milesius, from whom the Irish are occasionally styled Milesians. There are abun- dant evidences that at least two or three 'Svtwes" of colonization had long previously reactor' the island; but it is not very clear whence vhey came. Those first settlers are severally kitovyn in history as the Partholanians, the Nemed fi as, the Firbolgs, and the Tuatha de T>an< nna. These latter, the Tuatha de Danaans, who m- mediately preceded the Milesians, possessed i civilization and a knowledge of "arts and sciences" which, limited as we may be sure it •was, greatly amazed the earlier settlers (whom they had subjected) by the results it produced. To the Firbolgs (the more early settlers) the wonderful things done by the conquering new- comers, and the wonderful knowledge they dis- played, could only be the results of supernatural power Accordingly they set down the Tuatha de Danaans as "magicians, " an idea which the Milesians, as we shall presently see, also adopted. The Firbolgs seem to have been a pastoral r»ce; the Tuatha de Danaans were more of a manufacturing and commercial people. The soldier Milesian came, and he ruled over all. The Milesian colony reached Ireland from Spain,* but they were not Spaniards. They were an eastern people who had tarried in that coun- try on their way westward, seeking, they said, an island promised to the posterity of their an- cestor, Gadelius. Moved by this mysterious purpose to fulfill their destiny, they had passed from land to land, from the shores of Asia across the wide expanse of southern Europe, bearing *The settled Irish account; bat this is also disputed by theorists who contend that all the waves of colonization reached Ireland from the continent across Britain. aloft through all their wanderings the Sacrecl Banner, which symbolized to them at once their origin and their mission^ the blessing and the promise given to their race. This celebrated standard, the "Sacred Banner of the Milesians," was a flag on which was represented a dead ser- pent and the rod of Moses; a device to com- memorate forever among the posterity of Ga- delius the miracle by which his life had been saved. The story of this event, treasured with singular pertinacity by the Milesians, is told as follows in their traditions, which so far I have been following : While Gadelius, being yet a child, was sleep- ing one day, he was bitten hy a poisonous ser- pent. His father — Niul, a younger son of the king of Scythia — carried the child to the camp of the Israelites, then close by, where the dis- tracted parent with tears and prayers implored the aid of Moses. The inspired leader was pro- foundly touched by the anguish of Niul. He laid the child down, and prayed over him; ther he touched with his rod the wound, and the boy arose healed. Then, say the Milesians, the man of God promised or prophesied for the poster- ity of the young prince, that they should inhabit a country in which no venomous reptile could live, an island which they should seek and find in the track of the setting sun. It was not, however, until the third generation subsequently that the descendants and people of Gadelius are found setting forth on their proph- esied wanderings; and of this migration itself — of the adventures and fortunes of the Gadelian colony in its journeyings — the history would make a volume. At length we find them tarry- ing in Spain, where they built a citj', Brigantia, and occupied and ruled a certain extent of terri- tory. It is said that Ith (pronounced "Eeh"), uncle of Milesius, an adventurous explorer, had, in his cruising northward nf the Brigantian coast, sighted the Promised Isle, and landing to explore it, was attacked by the inhabitants I ; Tji.;lha de Danaans), and mortally wounded ere ? THE STOEY he could regain his ship. He died at sea on the way homeward. His body was reverentially preserved and brought back to Spain by his son, Lui (spelled Lugaid),* who had accompanied him, and who now summoned the entire Milesian host to the last stage of their destined wander- ings — to avenge the death of Ith, and occupy the Promised Isle. The old patriarch himself, Miledh, had died before Lui arrived; bu-t his sons all responded quickly to the summons; and the widowed queen, their mother, Scota, placed herself at the head of the expedition, which soon sailed in thirty galleys for "the isle they had seen in dreams." The names of the sons of Milesius who thus sailed for Ireland were, Heber the Fair, Amergiu, Keber the Brown, Colpa, Ir, and Heremon; and the date of this event is gen- erally supposed to have been about fourteen hun- dred years before the birth of our Lord. At that time Ireland, known as Innis Ealga (the Noble Isle) was ruled over by three brothers, Tuatha de Danaan princes, after whose wives (who were three sisters) the island was alternately called, Eire, Banba (or Banva), and Fiola (spelled Fodhla), hy which names Ireland is still fre- quently styled in national poems. Whatever difficulties or obstacles beset the Milesians in landing they at once attributed to the "necro- mancy" of the Tuatha de Danaans, and the old traditions narrate amusing stories of the contest between the resources of magic and the power of valor. When the Milesians could not discover land where they thought to sight it, they simply agreed that the Tuatha de Danaans had by their black arts rendered it invisible. At length they descried the island, its tall blue hills touched by the last beams of the setting sun, and from the gallej's there arose a shout of joy; Innisfail, the * Here let me at the outset state, once for all, that I have decided, after mature consideration, to spell most of the Irish names occurring in our annals according to their correct pronunciation or sound, and not according to their strictly correct orthography in the Irish language and typog- raphy. I am aware of all that may fairly be said against this course, yet consider the weight of advantage to be on fts side. Some of our Irish names are irretrievably Angli- ciatd in the worst form — uncouth and absurd. Choosing therefore between difficulties and objections, I have de- cided to rescue the correct pronunciation in this manner ; giving, besides, vfiih sufficient frequency, the correct orthography. OF IRELAl^D. Isle of Destiny, was fonnd !* But lo, next morn« ing the land was submerged, until only a low ridge appeared above the ocean. . A device of the magicians, say the Milesians. Nevertheless they reached the shore and made good their landing. The "magician" inhabitants, however, stated that this was not a fair conquest by the .-ules of war; that they had no standing army to oppose the Milesians; but if the newcomers would again take to their galleys, they should, if able once more to effect a landing, be recog- nized as masters of the isle by the laws of war. The Milesians did not quite like the proposi- tion. They feared much the "necromancy" of the Tuatha de Danaans. It had cost them trouble enough already to get their feet upon the soil, and they did not greccly relish the idea of having to begin it all ov^r again. They debated the point, and it was resolved to submit the case to the decision of Amergin, who was the Ollav (the Learned Man, Lawgiver, or Seer) of the ex- pedition. Amergin, strange to say, decided on the merits against his own brothers and kins- men, and in favor of the Tuatha de Danaans. Accordingly, with scrupulous obedience to his decision, the Milesians relinquished all they had * In Moore's " Melodies" the event here related is mado the subject of the following verses : " They came from a land beyond the sea. And now o'er the western main Set sail, in their good ships, gallantly. From the sunny land of Spain. ' Oh, Where's the Isle we've seen in dreams. Our destin'd home or grave?' Thus sung they as, by th» morning's beams^ They swept the Atlantic wave. " And, lo, where afar o'er ocean shines A sparkle of radiant green, As though in that deep lay emerald mines. Whose light through the wave was seen. ' 'Tis Innisfail — 'tis Innisfail 1' Rings o'er the echoing sea ; While, bending to heav'n, the warriors hail That home of the brave and free. "Then turn'd they unto the Eastern wave, Where now their Day-God's eye A look of such sunny omen gave As lighted up sea and sky. Nor frown was seen through sky or sett. Nor tear o'er leaf or sod. When first on their Isle of Destiny Our great forefathers trod." 5HB STORY OF IRELAND. 3 so far won. They re-embarked in their galleys, and, as demanded, withdrew "nine waves off from the shore." Immediately a hurricane, raised, say their versions, by the spells of the magicians on shore, burst over the fleet, dispers- ing it in all directions. Several of the princes and chiefs and their wives and retainers were drowned. The Milesians paid dearly for their chivalrous acquiescence in the rather singular proposition of the inhabitants indorsed by the decision of Amergin. When they did land next time, it was not in one combined force, but in detachments widely separated; some at the mouth of the Boyne ; others on the Kerry coast. A short but fiercely contested campaign decided the fate of the kingdom. In the first great pitched battle, which was fought in a glen a few miles south of Tralee,* the Milesians were vic- torious. But they lost the aged Queen-Mother, Scota, who fell amidst the slain, and was buried beneath a royal cairn in Glen Scohene, close by. Indeed the queens of ancient Ireland figure very prominently in our history, as we shall learn as we proceed. In the final engagement, which was fought at Tailtan in Meath, between the sons of Milesius and the three Tuatha de Danaan kings, the latter were utterly and finally de- feated, and were themselves slain. And with iheir husbands, the three brothers, there fell upon that dreadful day, when crown and coun- try, home and husband, all were lost to them, the three sisters, Queens Eire, Banva, and Fiola ! CHAPTER II. dOW IBELAND FARED UNDER THE MILESIAN DYNASTY. It is unnecessary to follow through their de- tails the proceedings of the Milesian princes in the period immediately subsequent to the land- ing. It will suffice to state that in a compara- * All that I have been here relating is a condensation of traditions, very old, and until recently little valued or credited by historical theorists. Yet singular corrobora- tions have been turning up daily, establishing the truth of the main facts thus handed down. Accidental excava- tions a few years since in the glen which tradition has banded down as the scene of this battle more than three thousand years ago, brought to light full corroboration of this fact, at least, that a battle of great slaughter was ought upou the exact spot some thousands of years ago. tively brief time they subdued the country, entering, however, into regular pacts, treaties, or alliances with the conquered but not power- less Firbolgs and Tuatha de Danaans. Accord- ing to the constitution under which Ireland was governed for more than a thousand years, the population of the island were distinguished in two classes — the Free Clans, and the Unfree Clans; the former being the descendants of the Milesian legions, the latter the descendants of the subjected Tuatha de Danaans and Firbolgs. The latter were allowed certain rights and privi- leges, and to a great extent regulated their own internal affairs; but they could not vote in the selection of a sovereign, nor exercise any other of the attributes of full citizenship without special leave. Indeed, those subject populations occasioned the conquerors serious trouble by their hostility from time to time for centuries afterward. The sovereignty of the island was jointly vested in, or assumed by, Heremon and Heber, the Romulus and Remus of ancient Ireland. Like these twin brothers, who, seven hundred years later on, founded Rome, Heber and Here- mon quarreled in the sovereignty. In a pitched battle fought between them Heber was slain, and Heremon remained sole ruler of the island. For more than a thousand years the dynasty thus established reigned in Ireland, the scepter never passing out of the family of Milesius in the direct line of descent, unless upon one occasion (to which I shall more fully advert at the proper time) for the brief period of less than twenty years. The Milesian sovereignc appear to have exhibited considerable energy in organizing the country and establishing what we may call "in- stitutions," some of which have been adopted or copied with improvements and adaptations by the most civilized governments of the present day; and the island advanced in renown for valor, for wealth, for manufactures, and for commerce. By this, however, my young readers are not to suppose that anything like the civilization of our times, or even faintly approaching that to which ancient Greece and Rome afterward at- tained, prevailed at this period in Ireland. Not so. But, compared with the civilization of its own period in northern and Western Euroj^ a, and THE STORY OP IRELAND. recoil etiiig how iBolated and how far removed Ireland was from the great center and source of colonization and civilization in the East, the civ- ilization of pagan Ireland must be admitted to have been proudly eminent. In the works re- maining to us of the earliest writers of ancient Eome, we find references to Ireland that attest the high position it then held in the estimation of the most civilized and learned nations of an- tiquity. From our own historians we know that more than fifteen hundred years before the birth of our Lord, gold mining and smelting, and artistic working in the precious metals, were car- ried on to a great extent in Ireland. Numerous iacts might be adduced to prove that a high order of political, social, industrial, and intel- lectual intelligence prevailed in the country. Even in an age which was rudely barbaric else- where all over the world, the superiority of in- tellect over force, of the scholar over the soldier, was not only recognized but decreed by leglisla- tion in Ireland! We find in the Irish chronicles that in the reign of Eochy the First (more than a thousand years before Christ) society was clas- sified into seven grades, each marked by the number of colors in its dress, and that in this clas- sification men of learning, i.e., eminent scholars, or savants as they would now be 'tailed, were by law ranked next to royalty. But the most signal proof of all, attesting the existence in Ireland at that period of a civiliza- tion marvelous for its time, was the celebrated institution of the Feis Tara, or Triennial Parlia- ment of Tara, one of the first formal parliaments or legislative assemblies of which we have record. * This great national legislative assembly was in- stituted by an Irish monarch, whose name sur- vives as a synonym of wisdom and justice, Ollav Fiola, who reigned as Ard-Ei of Erinn about one thousand years before the birth of Christ. To this assembly were regularly summoned : Firstly — All the subordinate royal princes or chieftains ; Secondly — Ollavs and bards, judges, scholars, and historians; and Thirdly — Military commanders. *The Ampbictyonic Council did not by any means par- take to a like extent of the nature and character of a par- liament. We have in the old records the most precise accounts of the formalities observed at the open- ing and during the sitting of the assembly, from which we learn that its proceedings were regu- lated with admirable order and conducted with the greatest solemnity. Nor was the institution of "triennial parlia- ments" the only instance in which this illustri- ous Irish monarch, two thousand eight hundred years ago, anticipated to a certain extent the forms of constitutional government of which the nineteenth century is so proud. In the civil ad- ministration of the kingdom the same enlightened wisdom was displayed. He organized the coun- try into regular prefectures. "Over every can- tred, " says the historian, "he appointed a chief- tain, and over every townland a kind of prefect or secondary chief, all being the officials of the king of Ireland. " After a reign of more than forty years, this "true Irish king" died at an advanced age, having lived to witness long the prosperity, happiness, and peace which his noble efforts had diffused all over the realm. His real name was Eochj' the Fourth, but he is more familiarly known in history by the title or sou- briquet of "Ollav Fiola,"that is, the "Ollav," or lawgiver, pre-eminently of Ireland, or "Fiola. " Though the comparative civilization of Ire- land at this remote time was so high, the annals of the period disclose the usual recurrence of wars for the throne between rival members of the same dj'nasty, which early and mediaeval European history in general exhibits. Reading over the history of ancient Ireland, as of ancient Greece, Rome, Assyria, Gaul, Britain, or Spain, one is struck by the number of sovereigns who fell by violent deaths, and the fewness of those who ended their reigns otherwise. But those were the days when between kings and princes, chiefs and warriors, the sword was the ready arbiter that decided all causes, executed all judg- ments, avenged all wrongs, and accomplished all ambitions. Moreover, it is essential to bear in mind that the kings of those times commanded and led their own armies, not merely in tLcovy or by "legal fiction, " but in reality and fatit; and that personal participation in the battle and prowess in the field wei*e expected and were requisite on the part of the royal commander. Under such circumstances one can easily perceive THE STORY OF IRELAND. 5 how it came to pass, naturally and inevitably, that the battlefield became ordinarily the death- bed of the king. In those earb' times the kings who did not fall by the sword, in fair battle or unfair assault, were the exceptions everj'where. Yet it is a remarkable fact, that we find the average duration of the reigns of Irish monarchs, for fifteen hundred or two thousand years after the Milesian dynasty ascended the throne, was as long as that of most European reigns in the seventeenth, eighteenth, and nineteenth centu- ries. Several of the Milesian sovereigns enjoyed reigns extending to over thirty years; some to fifty years. Many of them were highly accom- plished and learned men, liberal patrons of arts, science, and commerce; and as one of them, fourteen hundred years before the Christian era, instituted regularly convened parliaments, so we find others of them instituting orders of knight- hood and Companionships of Chivalry long be- fore we hear of their establishment elsewhere. The Irish kings of this period, as well as dur- ing the first ten centuries of the Christian age, in frequent instances intermarried with the royal families of other countries — Spain, Gaul, Britain, and Alba ; and the commerce and manufactures of Ireland were, as the early Latin writers ac- quaint us, famed in all the marts and ports of Europe. CHAPTER m. HOW THE UNFREE CLANS TRIED A REVOLUTION; AND WHAT CAME OF IT. HOW THE ROMANS THOUGHT IT TAIN TO ATTEMPT A CONQUEST OF IRELAND. During those fifteen hundred years preceding the Christian era, the other great nations of Europe, the Romans and the Greeks, were pass- ing, by violent changes and bloody convulsions, through nearly every conceivable form of govern- ment — republics, confederations, empires, king- doms, limited monarchies, despotisms, consu- lates, etc. During the like period (fifteen cen- turies) the one form of government, a limited monarchy, and the one dj-nasty, the Milesian, ruled in Ireland. The monarchy was elective, but elective out of the eligible members of the established or legitimate dynasty. Indeed the principle of "legitimacy," as it is sometimes called in our times — the hereditary right of a ruling family or dynasty — seems from the earliest ages to have been devotedly, I might almost say euperstitiously, held by the Irish. Wars for the crown, and violent changes of rulers, were always frequent enough; but the wars and the changes were always between mem- bers of the ruling family or "blood royal;" and the two or three instances to the contrary that occur are so singularly strong in their illustra- tion of the fact to which I have adverted, that I Avill cite one of them here. The Milesians and the earlier settlers never completely fused. Fifteen hundred years after the Milesian landing, the Firbolgs, the Tuatha de Danaans, and the Milesians were still sub- stantially distinct races or classes, the first being agriculturists or tillers of the soil, the second manufacturers and merchants, the third soldiers and rulers. The exactions and oppressions of the ruling classes at one time became so griev- ous that in the reign succeeding that of Creivan the Second, who was the ninety-ninth Milesian monarch of Ireland, a widespread conspirac3' \s as organized for the overthrow and extirpation of the Milesian princes and aristocracy. After three years of secret preparation, everything being ready, the royal and noble Milesian fami- lies, one and all, were invited to a "monster meeting" for games, exhibitions, f eastings, etc., on the plain of Knock Ma, in the county of Gal- waj'. The great spectacle had lasted nine days, when suddenly the Milesians were set upon by the Attacotti (as the Latin chroniclers called the conspirators), and massacred to a man. Of the royal line there escaped, however, three princes, children yet unborn. Their mothers, wives of Irish princes, were the daughters respectively of the kings of Scotland, Saxony, and Brittany. They succeeded in escaping into Albion, where the three young princes were born and educated. The successful conspirators raised to the throne Carbry the First, who reigned five years, during which time, say the chronicles, the country v.'iu; a prey to every misfortune ; the earth refused tc; yield, the cattle gave no milk, the trees bore no fruit, the waters had no fish, and "the oak *had * Such was the deep faith the Irish had in the principle of legitimacy in a dynasty ! This characteristic of n>^l/ 6 THE STOEY OF lEELAXD. but on acorn." Carbry -was succeeded by his son, Moian, whose name deservedly lires in Irish history as "Moran the Just." He refused to; —ear the crown, -which belonged, he said, to the royal line that had been so miraculously pre- served; and he urged that the rightful princes, : who by this time had grown to man's estate, should be recalled. Moran 's powerful pleading commended itself readily to the popular con- science, already disqiiieted by the misfortunes and evil omens which, as the people read tJiem, had fallen uj>on the land since the legitimate iine had been so dreadfully cut down. The young princes were recalled from exile, and one of them, Faradah the Righteous, was, amid great rejoicing, elected king of Ireland. Moran was appointed chief judge of Erinn, and under j his administration of justice the land long pre- sented a scene of peace, happiness, and content- ment. To the gold chain of office which Moran ■yore on the judgment seat, the Irish for centu- ries subsequently attached sui)ematural powers. It was said that it would tighten around the neck of the judge if he was onjustly judging a cause! The dawn of Christianity found the Eomans masters of nearly the whole of the known world. Britain, after a short struggle, succumbed, and eventually learned to love the yoke. Gaul, after a gallant effort, was also overpowered and held as a conquered province. But upon Irish soil the Roman eagles were never planted. Of Ire- land, or leme, as they called it, of its great wealth and amazing beauty of scenery and rich- aess of soil, the all-conquering Romans heard much. But they had heard also that the fruitful and beautiful island was peopled by a soldier race, and, judging them by the few who occasion- ally crossed to Alba to help their British neigh- bors, and whose prowess and skill the imperial iegions had betimes to prove, the conquest of lerne was wisely judged by the Romans to be » work better not attempted. The early centuries of the Christian era may be considered the period pre-eminently of pagan bardic or legendary fame in Ireland. In this, which we may call the '"Ossianic" period, lived Cuial or Cumhal, father of the celebrated Fin Mac Cumhal, and commander of the great Irish legion called the Fiana Erion, or Irish militia. The Ossianic poems* recount the most marvelous stories of Fin and Fiana Erion, which stories are compounds of undoubted facts and manifest fic- tions, the prowess of the heroes being in the course of time magnified into the supernatural, and the figures and poetic allegories of the earlier bards gradually coming to be read as realities. Some of these poems are gross, extravagant, and absurd. Others of them are of rai e beauty, and are, moreover, valuable for the insight they give, though obliquely, into the manners and customs, thoughts, feelings, guiding principles, and mov- ing passions of the ancient Irish. all the Celtic naiions survives in all its force in the Jacobite Relics of Ireland, tlie ootbnrsts of Irisii national feeling tnentun hundred geangiibtegturUly.

" QsE of the oldest, and perhaps the most fa- mous, of all the great national hi.'^tory -poems or bardic tales of the ancient Irish, is called "The Fate of the Children of Usna," the incidents of -s-hich belong to the period preceding by half a century the Christian era, or anno mundi 3960. Indeed it was always classified by the bards as one of "The Three Sorrowful Tales of Erinn." Singularly enough, the story contains much less poetic fiction, and keeps much closer to the simple facts of history, than do several of the poems of Ossian's time, written much later on. From the highly dramatic and ti-agic nature of the events related, one can well conceive that, clad in the beautiful idiom of the Irish tongue and told in the fanciful language of poetry, "The Story of the Children of Usnach" was calculated to win a prominent place among the bardic recitals of the pagan Irish. A semi-fanciful version of it has been given in English at great length by Dr. * So called from their author, Oisin, or Ossian, the war- rior poet, son of Fin, and grandson of CuhaL THE STORY OF lEELAJTD. 7 Ferguson in the "Hibernian Nights' Entertain- ment but the story is rariously related by other narrators. As it may, perhaps, be interesting to my young readers, I stnnmarize the various i versions here as the only specimen I mean to give of the semi-imaginative literatiire of tbe ' pagan Irish : | When Conor Mac Nessa was reigning king of Ulidia, and Eochy the Tenth -was Ard-Ki of' Erinn, it happened one day that Conor had deigned to be present at a feast which was given at the house of Felemi, son of the laureate of Ulstei While the festivities were going on, it came to pass that the wife of the host gave birth to a daughter; and the infant being brought I into the presence of the king and the other assembled guests, -all saw that a beautj- more ' than natural had been given to the child. In the midst of remark and marvel on all hands at the circumstance, Kavaiee, the chief Druid of the Ulidians, cried out with a loud voice and proph- I esied that through the infant before them there would come dark woe and misforttine to i Ulster, such as the land had not known for years. When the warriors heard this, thev all demanded , that the child shotild instantly be put to death. ■ But Conor interposed and forbade the deed. | "I," said the king, "will myself take charge of ! this beautiful child of destiny. I shall have her reared where no evil can befall through her or to her, and in time she may become a wife for me." Then the chief Druid, Kavaiee, named the child Deirdri, which means alarm or danger. Conor placed the infant under the charge of a nurse or attendant, and subsequently a female tutor, in a residence situated in a district which no foot of man was allowed to tread ; so that Deirdri had j grown to the age of woman before sho saw a human form other than tho33 of her female at- tendants. And the maiden was beautiful beyond aught that the eye of man had ever beheld. | Meanwhile, at the court of the TTlidian king ' was a young noble named Xaeisi, son of Usna, j whose manly beauty, vigor, activity, and bravery were the theme of every tongue.
