The Countess of Cork and Orrery, who has just pub : hshed the ' Orrery Papers,' belongs (says 4 New Ireland ') to the famous old De Burgh family of Connaught. Her father was the first Marquis of Clanricarde, and she is sister to the present peer. In editing the ' Orrery Papers ' she is dealing with a literary as well as a military race. There are some literary traditions in her own family also. Her grandfather was George Canning, the statesman, and he w£s the son of a young Irishman of good family who wrote poetry and contributed to the London press. Lady Cork, whose golden wedding is due next month, was a celebrated beauty at the time of her marriage in 1853. All the best-known men in London subscribed to present her with a splendid wedding present as the most beautiful woman of her day. The Earl of Cork is a very large landowner in the South of Ireland. In cases of attacks of Colic, Cramp, or Spasms, Evans's WITCH'S OIL will be found invaluable.— •*»
