Irish SliPerAtition..
On, the south east of Ireland the .niermaid
is to the present hour fully believed in, and
the writer of this articlehas frequently,
while fishing, listened to detailed nartaltives
of her appearance. The merroW is se. Worn
. -
visible without a misiottune impending or
ensuing, and if she is -heard to sing, the dr;
ctunstance is considered to be tewarnine• of.
speecly death by .shipwreck. , sA popular su-
b
perstition not mentioned by our author, al-
so connected with the coast, is that of the
water witch. The water witch is an old
woman who dwells in a lotely peninsula;
and at midnight gobs upon the deep in a,
large cockel shell, ntising storms vie_ h her
.crutchWhen she chooses stay ,
she makesa. he1143rotha
-of the most min-
idoors
.. ' -
able charnel ingredients, and sinto .this she
throws eggs labelled Aith the names of cer-
tain ships whose owners or crews have vex::
ecl her. The fate that befalls the eggs in
being smashed and. broken in.this diaboli:
cal potage is entailed at the Same -moment
-upon the miserable ships. • The festive ,cus-
toms of Ireland, of which wine accbunt was
given in the Pall Jitztl Gazette sevetal
months bac, are rapidly loosing their most
distinctive, characteristics. There is no
doubt that t41.1 e..= contributed towards the . 8
in-
temperance of the people and towards in-
tensifying the evils of the . faction ..wars
which used to *rage so violently' in the pro-
vinces of Munster and Connaught. The
wake (the Anal
bo -Celtic celebration of which
, .
was forbidden a fortnight ago by the Ro-
man Catholic Bishop of Liverpool) was -a,
frequent source of riot and bloodshed. The-
,' pattern' was and still is, in ft• few districts
where it is kepi, a dreadful nuisance, tend-
ing to propagate fever and filth from the
congress of beggars and clippies who came
for alms and relief to the vations holy wells.
or sacred stones. A..big stone that has- done,
service in pagan epochs is made over 323, a
simple proces.s to the Christian faith.' and:
rheumatised. peasants . rub their backs
against it with a belief in its rrtues which
. .
is almost as pathetic as it is ludicrous, The
national schools have seriously encroached
upon the haunts of the fairies; have dispel-
. led the sheeted pane, and silenced the
chant of the cluricaun and the tap of his
tiny hammer as he cobbled at his shee-,
leather. The hills are no longer hollow,,
burrowed with diamond -lit, caves ; the earth
holds no crocks of gold, and no sunset re.°
veals a happy island en the far dim ;verge
of the sea. These things are no longet the
sirable and common propertiesof the pea-.
pie ; they are almost unknown to the np-
springing generation ; they are hidden and
forgoVen because Ireland has learned to
road ,incl grow incredulous. The fairies are
as dead as great Pan is in Greece.
Tobacco for the Wounded.
• If there he one fact that has- been more
frequently stated than another, it is :that
the soldiers engaged in this war,. well or
wounded, seek the solace of tobacco. The
inhabitants* of every nation manifest simi-
lar instincts, and one of the strongest is
this desire to seek out some substance, the
use of which may stimulate or soOthe the
nervous system. There is no deprivation
•
whieh the habitual although. not • excessive,
smoker feels so much as the less of tabacco;
and soldiers of all nations; esi;ecially of the
French and German nation's, smoke of. It
was a standing injunction of the FitsI
Na-
poleon that his trocps should have tobacco.,
and they found it the greatest advantage in
the retreat from Moscow. . We have been
accustomed to look upon the Germans as.
fond- of hard ,intellectual toil for its own
sake : and mei of abstraction and imagina-
tion, if we relay judge, from the :preyalence
• of the practi&I of smoking among them, un-
questionably appear to find an aid in tObac-
co. But the manhood of ermany has
risen like a giant refreshed to1 land rgo! any
physical exertion and hardship tha may be
required, and this war has taxed the phy--
sical energies of the strongest. The Soldier,
wearied .with . long marches and uncertain
rest, obtaining his food how and when he:
can, with his nervous system always in a
state of tension from the danger and excite-
ment he eneounters, finds that his eigar or
pipe enable him to sustain hunget} or fa-
tigue with comparative equa,ifimity. • Ex-
plain it as we may, this is physiologically .
true, and medical officers who would not
be sorry to see the issue of a "spirit ration"
-
discontinued, are compelled • to allow that
the moderate use of tobacco by soldiers ill
the field has several advantages. 'For th?
wounded it is probable that tobacco has
:slight anodyne and narcotic properties that
enable the sufferer to sustain pain. better
'during the day and to obtain sleep during
the night. --London, _Lancet.
A BI4HOP ON qOATHEDRALS,"—The Bish-
op of Peterborough, at a meeting recently
held in Liverpool, inquired, "What is the
• use of a cathedral '?" and then proceeded thus
to answee himself :--"Wh'at was a cathedral
but a huge building„,apparently far too large
for the shrtml4en little body of r-eigerdom
and beadledom which rattled and shoek with-
- in that large- mousoleum of chisty.hassocks,-
torn books, and stained cashions milSetim
of dust and dirt, a sepulchre acrCss which,
at certain hours, lazily fluttered sonie heavy
canon; or heavy dean, and about which
heavily, flabbily, and bat -like, flapped some
dark -clad verger or beadle, often a lazy ani -1
mal, who threw away his life in.a corner of,
this great mausoleum, and was only gal-
vanized into passing activity on Sunday by
the gleani of silver -sixpences in the hands of
those seeking seats jug as in early slimmer
,
you may see somee-large 'bluebottle by the
light that passes through the dusty and cob-
web covered pane on Which he has been
lazily sleeping. •
