Amer- ica annually sends 50,000 tourists to Bu- ppe. Notone ina thousand ever set sion upon these transcendent beauties, hat oné fact is a greater marvel than the most marvelous upon which the eye may restin all the glorious Donegal highlands. In the sunshine old Donegal town is checry and snug: but when the fog- winds come up from the sea like dingy wings slapping 1t grewsomely in its face, tho half town, half hamlet, seems to shudderingly shrink closer to the shores of the noisy sk, as if seeking t the bases of the dark moun- s behind, Fort of the White Stran- gers is the signification ofe the name, Donegal; although one would have a hard time indeed to find what that meant. Aside from the pi of its charming old stre that is almost melar to its half ruined ecu erside, near the ancien a page of history would have to dalized to learn” its haps and Laps, and of its different lords, gov- and rulors; for here during the last five centuries was the center of blooaiest struggles between northern Irish kings and their foes, and especi- ally the conflicts between the O'Neills and O'Donnells. The life and adven- tures of Hugh Roe O’Donnell, or Red Hugh, properly depicted, would alone surpass the most thrilling tale of Scot tish border-land warfare During the fourteenth century the darving and he- ic spirit of Hugh when still but a boy, cted the notice of Sir John Parrott, lord justice of Ireland. In order to get seene wehed bridge. him “within his power, Perrott sent a ship into Lough Swilly laden with sumples of the flnest Spanish wines, and manned by his own seamen dis- guised as Spanish wine merchants. Hugh, with others, was lured aboard, and, while being feasted, the hatches were battened aud the young chief ried to Dublin, where he was immured in the Tower. Though but sixteen, he here made one of the most heroic prison escapes known to those savage times. Flying to a supposed friend, Sir Phelim O'Toole, who had been his fellow prisoner, he was betrayed, again imprisoned, and subjected to every bar- barity save downright murder. In a year he again escaped, fled to the mountains wh he for months sub- sisted like a wild beast, but finally re- guined his own country and dom _about Donegal. ~ Succ his futher as ruler, and being joined by the valiant O'Neil, he et about avenging his wrongs and in- dignities, against the English; but quarreling with O’ 1 as to which should lead the attack against the en- trenched foe at Kinsale, contend- for the bloody honor, the battle, great slaugh lost, Hughes vouted and dispersed, and the voungg chieftain,himself wounded, compelled to fly to Spain. Here after great labors he succeeded in inducing < » un army of succor e the y of _his _ do- main; but, worn out with delay and offort, he died from griel and a broken heurt at Valladolid. His character and noble qualities, as they were then measured, and his wondrous bravery, rendered his name a luminous aud pathetic one in the Irish annals. This old stronghold of the lords of Tir- connel must have been a splendid and powerful fortress. Chimney-picces of magnificent senlpture in the style of James 1., are still soon; and some of the ( udows overlooking the bay v preserved specimensof the architecture of half a thou- ago. hmwen, or indead to all men who ave enrnest students of the history of any race, people or land, the drear old viin on the coast below Donegal, wonrer Bullyshanon, must possess an absorbing fusemnation. Here stood the lone, semi-monastic castle of Kilburron, an ancient fortalice, and seat of the O'Clery chiefs, It was in this stronghold that the brothers O'Clery, Hugh Ward and John Colgan, known to all scnolars as the four masters, in the midst of furious wars of olans, chiefs, Kings and what not, pursued their-great historiea! re- sonrches aud labors, resulting in those monuments of industry ecalled the “Donegal Anuals,” or the *‘Annals of the Four Masters,” which, despite all cavil or prejudice, stand out as grand landmarks against the age of durkness and blood in which they were pro- dueed, The seholar and erudite, sur- rounded as ho is with the illimitable possibilities and facilities of to-day, should stand here and contemplate fow remaining crumbling poaks of wa- sonry, standin 1 this awful solitude of elilY, wind and s in order to just for once renlize the suc und devotion of the puticnt souls of all lands in the dim days behind us, and the infinite ad- vantages of the brighter time that is The gray old ruins stand at the edge of o precipitous and almost insular cliff, Furze and heather cover most of the futtened escarpements of the once mighty walls, To the east, the south, and southwest, save where the misty const-line of Sligo here and there pushes through the distance, naught can be seer but wild ' sweeps of "Khmd wmoor, white sand-reaches and ghostly dunes, or vast aud dreary Strotehes of wind-swept; shuddoring heather. To the north across Donegal bay the great headlauds loom hard and savagely, as il some mighty impuse of unature were about to topple them iuto the waves. While to the west, where the sun 1s ever sctting in the cewnseless turbulouce of the sea, but rising upon happier lands bevond, there ave just the woanings and thunderings of the mighty ocean. But down the const, behind the saud-hills, is rarve old Ballyshannon upon the stately Erne, where,as its waters leap with a roar inte the bay was once ona of the most splen- did non fisheries in Irveland. Three miles above, v re the wters of the noble lakes of Erne, after leitering in the sandy valley, make a mad rush usif to engulf Ballyshannon, forming the benutiful falls of Belleck. On beyond the old town along the circling bay, is Bindoran, where families of the Trish gentry from the middle counties and west, come 1n summer to the glori- Bundoran donkeys and the sea. e back along the beach from Ballyshannon, down behind the old Kil- barron ruins is the tiny hamletof Ward- town.the old seat of the Ffolliott family, where the incidents of .that tenderest ind most pathet Irish love dramas “Collecu Bawn® had _their mournful ovigin. Here once really lived 'Squire Ffolliott, whose daughter Helen, u lass of Fadiant beauty, was enamored of a bright Irish Ia vant, Willy Reilly. In vain the stern old ‘squirc sought 1o ouple stole awa, ing with her he pursued and over ing found on the lad he was prosecuted or felony and sentenced to transporta- aent poor Reilly’s sentence was known n, tho colleen bawn, the lavely maiden, became a raving man For seven long years Reilly suffored the pains and dogradation of penal serv tude: for seven long years ‘Squire Ffol- liott's danghter called madly for he 2 love. Nothing like the excitement o casioned by the woe of these two lovers wasever known in this blessed land of marvels. And what a meeting was there when the lover true retarned and claimed his poor mad bride; and kind heavon that instant gave her back her reason! Why, the story threads and thrills throngh Irish heads and hearts to-day with the same magical power as when it was new; and until love is dead, the eyes will glisten, the bosom heave, and the nder heart’s-blood leap into the glowing face of every fair duughter of Ireland at recitial of this pathetic and true love tragedy, wrought in the old days down here among the sand hills, near Ballyshannon y the sea.

In a week’s: tramping ‘over” these mighty mountain roads of Donegal., some of which would put your famed old Roman ways to shame, I have had odd experi- ences in the witness box. When paus- ing at some grand curved esplanade to contemplate shadowy glen. roaring cat- aract, gloomy tarn,or ledge of lofty mountain, a Donegal highlander, over- taking mo, or appronching from the opposite direction, would halt, instantly open court, and begin the blandest of interrogations. Paciug the ringing road with exultant stride,l would notice away beyond some bellying bog against the edge of an overhanging rocky wall, the entire occupants of some little cabin issuing from the doorway like & swarm of bees. Wildly donning his pictur- esque clothing the head of the house would start off around the circling bog on a mad gallop like a dread courfer of alarm to suddenly confront me in dig- nified surprise miles ahead upon the winding road. Again, from where a white hut gleamed like the wing of a bird upon a lofty crag, a half dozen huge lads, hended by a huger father, would descend with a rush as if to repel in- vasion and arrest my way, sagely ques- tioning my mission. Old women with parcels of yarn from the Glenties; young women coming from or going out to service in their bare fi their huge shoes slung over their round shoulders for the saving; car men loaded with ponteen and passengers, or empty; and all manner of Highlanders in their interminable goings to Some- where for nothing, and coming from Nowhere with imaginary somewhats; ch with their freshly-cut, willowy syeamore withe, or more suggestive black-thorn stick; would, with a sort of se, enfilade “stand-right-vhere- me-hoy!” movement, bring me to ahalt, the severe, smileless, oratoricand lignified proceedings would begin: > day!” And it is always “Fine this often r large 1 ayed sails pounding the decks in a "1 would reply a ““H'm—un’ phare air ye goin “Oh, up the road a bit,” “*Aha, but that's down the 1 me there. ‘*Are ye goin’ far?” “May be.
