TUK IRISH JAUXttNU CAR,
There i ? no look of roads in Ireland,
and for the most part they nro fairly
good, thotigli Often extemoly hilly.
The car is on the wholo excellently suited
to them, and undonhtedly Bianconi, who
introduced them, is ono of the greatest
benefactors of Ireland. Had tho Irish
been more pttnc til ions in paying their
debts, tho Italian wPtfid have had his
statue in every market town. I may re
mark In passing that ho was originally a
picture dealer in Clomnel, who, having
seen the possibility of a fortune in tho
improvement of the communications,
started tho first of tho cars from Clonmel
to Cahir in tho " Waterloo year." Queer
stories nro told of how ho pushed his
enterprise, particularly by getting np
fictitious competition. Tho oomi>etitiou
was carried rath or far, when one of his
drivers burst triumphantly into his
oftleo ono day, begging lmlf-n-crowu of
his honor to drink his honor's health,
Rinoo "ho had just brack tho heart of
tho brown morn " in tho opposition con
veyance by pushing her laird up tho hill
of Po and-80, the maro boing, of course
TManooni's own.
Tho ear, I repeat, is well adapted to
tho country ; it is generally to bo ob
tained on a few minutes'notice, and tho
drivers in default of relays, will tako
their passenger incredible distances.
Tho man who drovo mo from Dnnglow
brought mo on hi Ardara from Glonties,
where wo bait failed to find a change. I
expressed a fear that I might bo
"planted" at Ardara should we bo
equally unfortunate there. "Sure, sir,"
said my friend, "and sooner tluui yo
shall bo bate I'll rowl yo on to Carrick
myself, nyo nod to Killybege to the back
of that." I may remark that the hills in
some places wore tremendous. Yet tho
Irish car has its obvious drawbacks. It
shakes you evon with tolerable springs
on the smoothest roads, and where the
roads are rough tho jolting is terrible.
It exposos ono to tho wind and tho
leather, though much may bo gained
by sitting the leeeidc. And, although
seated cither for four or six besides tho
drivor, it will hardly carry more than
two people with oomfort if they have
any quantity of luggage. When two
share tho expenses of a privato ear they
aro cheap enough. I have found the
ordinary charge for posting to be 8X
per Irish mile ; whilo the drivers seem
generally to cxpoot the other Id. In
deed, they make themselves so agreeable
that though tho " tip'' seems high it is
difficult to grudge it thecr,. —Ghr. Loiulo t
