Irish Wit and Irish Beggars Greet the Traveler in Queenstown
A traveler in Ireland recounts encounters with professional beggars in Queenstown and Cork. A lean beggar woman wins a shilling by blessing the donor, while a sturdy street urchin hauls a heavy bag and clings to a visitor for payment. The tale extends to Queenstown barmaids, a famous painter in Tralee, and witty exchanges from Cork to Tralee, illustrating Irish humor and social observation.

Purely feminine items from the era cover royal habits and social fashions. The czar ups his economy limiting gowns to £30,000 yearly. Queen Victoria enjoys Vienna bread in various shapes. Mrs. Haines headlines as a leading woman in rail road presidency. Northwest social chatter mocks stage repertoires and fashion trends. A fad of perfumed ink and wrinkle removal grows. Jaunty English shirts and New York dancing girls appear at receptions. Public mood blends luxury with restraint. The Cronie murder trial is overshadowed by Cole's Carbolisatve ads promising skin cure.
