| COLLEEN BAWN CAVES, KILLARNEY.- These caves, which the dramatic genius of Boucicault, in his play of the "Collen Bawn," adapted from Gerald Griffin's masterly novel, "The Collegians," has made celebrated, bear all the marks and tokens of having been formed by the action of the water at a period when the element was much higher, and more turbulent, in the delightful Killarney region, than it is in our day. While the dramatist, for scenic effect, places the chief incidents of the "Collen Bawn" in and around the caves and lakes, Griffin, in the "collegians," made them quite secondary. |
