Ho long. O love, as life may last.
Tie hour will come, the hour will come
When o'er the grave thoult mourn the oast.
And tike thou heed that thy heart glow.
That thy love tl -uriah and endure

To it responds both warm and sure.
And he who opes bis heart to thee,
Oh, i *ve him for love's sake aloue!
Vajte bright for him each darksome hour,
And cause him not one bitter groan.
*t inrd well thy lips. llow sharp the blow
On loving heart by careless word.
Cn*i knows it was not meant to wound.
Yet twilight hours sad moans have heard.
Then kneel thou lowly at his tomb,
And hide thy sad. wot eyes. Alas'.
Thy dear one never moves from ont
The long, damp churchyard grass.
Then ry: “Oh, dear one, look on me.
Who here at thy low grave do weep;
F irgire the p ;ng I caused thee, dear.
>h. God! that words should wound so
deep!"
Sightless he lies; he hears thee not.
He comes not at thy vote* of woo.
The lips which thou so oft hast kissed
say not, “Forgiven long ago."
Me dto forgive thee long ago.
Mat down his face the hot tears rained
1 or thee and for thy harsh word's sake.
Vet hush! he rests—the goal attained.
Oh. tore so long as thou canst love—
So long, <> love, as life may last.

A score or two of rnoney-speuding mag

Paris letter, would soon change the face
ol that Paris which is talking to-night,
not cf the Presidential reception at the
Edysee Palace, but of the dazzling wed

patrician blood of Konio has again joy
fully elected to walk hand in hand with
one W America’s daughters. Just twelve
months ago the now Princess C'olonr.a

kacred Jfaeart at Auteuil. The eyes of
Evelync Mackay have always had a
seraphic twinkle about them, w hich tells
of religions tenderness and mystical long
ir-gu. Human love had never welled up
out of her soul, and the bitterness of be
ing sought as an heiress was more than
ot nearly souring her girlhood. There
wire, of course, many smtois for her
baud The empty-coffered but genuine
rv.-bilitj of trance and Italy “went for*'

and practical woman of the world. It
went Perth ostentatiously that there was
to be no do wry with the hand oi Evely ne.
* 1 am seriously thinking," said Mrs.
-Mackay one day, “of having a notice put
upon the door stating that no dowry
hunters need apply." And this was no
mere small talk. The ex-Qucen Isabella

SIGNING THK CONTRACT.
< r the evening of Tuesday, the loth
cst.. a brilliant but select party gathered
at tbs Hue de Tilsitt for the signing of
th*- marriage contract- Among the
guests were Minister Morton, Duke
iv • ~*es. Prince d’Angii Doria, the uncle
of the bridegroom, and the whole
strength of the Colonna and Mackay
families. Evelvne looked charming in
„ p, & thine toilet of the most “killing"
pink. thl Mrs. Mackay wore tea-rose
satin, with a wondrous tullier, embroi
dered with fine pearls and luxuriant
tropical flowers of finest texture. The
edges consisted of a deep fringe ot pearls.
The whole scent was one of right royal
richness, not even equated by the much
taiked-of contract signing ot the daugh
ter the Due de la Rochefoucauld

I H K CEREMONY.
or Thursday morning, the 12th iust.,
at 11 o’clock, the religious ceremony was
performed in the Tin one room ot the
Papal Nunciature bv His Excellency
Mgr. di Itemle. The Tope”* representative
in’ Paris ts a courtly and good-looking
orciate in the prime of life. Hi belongs
to one of the best families in Naples, and
apart from his position is by birth
a Marquis, and by ecclesiastical
promotion Archbishop ol Bencvento.
The Nuncio is an intimate
ol tr.e Maekav household, frequently at
tending sirs.' Mackay's musical soirees,
the rustle of his violet cassock being
heard going down the staircase to his
carriage as the "froufrou” of Anna
.Indie’s or .Jeanne Oranier’s swept by to
keep an engagement to sing one of their
spiev 60ngs. The Pope’s ambassador,
whose political position in Paris is un
certain. hurried back from Home for th “
weddiug at which he officiated, assisted
l,v t*s auditor. Mgr. Averardi-
The crimson Papal throne was cleverly
transformed into an altar, the picture of
Leo XIII. being temporarily removed to
the wall upon the other side ol the room.
At w. di Itcnde himself, clothed in a rich
white chasuble with gold embroidery,
with the jeweled mitre upon liis head,
received the illustrious bridal part}. and
oefore beginning the nuptial ceremony
addressed a tew words to the bride and
bridegroom.
The solemn blessing of the ring follow -
ed and the mass pro sponao ct aponsa was
celebrated, the Prince and Princess fol
lowing the rigid letter of the Homan
ritual by receiving the holy communion
fasting. The grouping at the moment of
tb last benediction was l>eautiiu!. The
simp’e but rieblv laden altar formed an
attractive background to the multi-color
ed toilets of the ladies, of which the fol
lowing are the most worthy of notice.

which eau also be w orn upon the corsage.
Three pairs of solitaire earrings, with
portebonhtur bracelets. A comb sur
mounted with a row of diamond leaves
and a necklace ol splendid workmanship
have also excited much admiration. The
chief gift, however, is that of a rich
panne of pearls. The necklet and brace
let* are barred w ith diamonds, and the
earrings are giant pearls set in dia
monds.
There was no wedding breakfast. But
Mr. and Mrs. Mackay received half Paris
at the Rue de Tilsitt after the ceremony.
The bride and bridegroom left for their
wedding tour in the evening. They will
pass through the Riviera to Rome, where
they will be received by the Pope in spec
ial audience. By order ol His Holiness,
Mgr. Cataidi “wired" the Pontifical
benediction to the happy couple.
lhe great diessmaktr’s and milliners of
the Hue de la Paix and the boulevards
are furious. None of the wedding toilets
were made by them, and all the lorty
three traveling, town, concert, matinee
and dinner dres-es came from the skillful
hands of an obscure but artistic cou
turier?. As Mrs. Mackay herself wittily
remarked: •’! like to employ a dress
maker tor what she is worth, and not
because site is ’Woith.’ ” In this case
she has certainly eclipsed all that Paris
has done of late.
Mrs. Mackay told me. says a corre
spondent, that her husband is so intense
ly American that she was at find
afraid he would not approve ot Miss
Eva’s matrimonial project. But il there
is one American institution that he
likes bedter than another it is personal
lreedoin. lie hates aristocratic pride
and prejudices, and has not a high idea
of aristocratic virtue. But when he saw
Prince Colonna he was favorably impres
sed by him and atoncedetermined to wt3h
Miss Eva joy upon the conquest she had
made.
Mr. Mackay tells me that her husband
is from Dublin, which he left at the age
of twelve. He bus no relations that he
knows of there, at any rate none who
fixed themselves by kind attentions iu
his memory w hen he was a boy. and su he
is r.nt tlesiious, lor that reason and no
other, to bunt them up. Many claims
of kindred! fiavej l>een made since he
prospered, but he has not looked into
them. His only sister also went to
America in childhood. Being very relig
ious she became a nun anti was the supe
rior ol the convent tn which she died.
Mrs Mackay gave me a short sketch of
her own parentage and life. She had a
French grandmother, who spoke French
and Spanish to her when she was a child,
and was educated in two convents of the
order of the Sacred Heart, where lan
guages and music were carefully taught
anil religious feeling in the pupils devel
oped by the example of the tains.
FAT WOMAN AND YI: ill NO.
Two Cariosities Marrbdon the Stage of
a Bowery Museum.
That the bride in the New York Dime
Museum Tuesday, says the New r York
World, was fair, some of the too-critical
congregation denied, but that she was fat
and forty went without saying. In early
life she adopted the business of fat woman
as a profession, and by assiduous devotion
to corned beet and beer soon reached the
top of the ladder in her line—a line, by
the way, nearly as broad as it is long.
For 40 years the great wealth of her af
fections was wrapped up in her ample
bosom, Swain after swain gazed across
tae vista of her shoulders" and longed
to call her all his own—every bit !
ot her —but until yesterday she was deaf j
to all entreaties to change her name from 1
plain Anna l’ettit. She had borne it so J
long, she said, it was awkward to change,
it was Charley Price, a gen th man who!
earns his daily bread by posing as a pro- I
lessional Albino, and wearing pump silk j
stockings, that first stirred the blood to j
quicker musio in her veins and turned]
her thoughts to marriage and the brilliant ;
opportunity of making money out of the
marriage. They met by chance the usual
way in the Bowery Museum at No. 210,
and one night when business was slack
ami the pale kerosene threw a kind of in
tht -gloaming glamour o’er the scene the
Albino lover climbed down oft the
stage and with soft caresses encircled
her"plump w rist with his protecting right j
arm. He wooed her, overcame her coy
resistance, and went down with the j
plaster on the ceiling below, when in a j
moment < f reckless abandon she < ast her- !
self into his arms. The damage wasre-j
paired, she learned to guard against such j
demonstrations of dangerous affection, j
and the day was set and advertised. Cares i
were sent out inviting the general public I
to attend the wedding at 10 cents a head. !
reserved seats only 10 cents extra. The j
wedding ring was forged— envious i
monstrosities hinted that it was only a ]
plated napkin ring—a suitable bridal cos- i
ttune was built, a minister secured and
all was ready.
All dat long the museum was thronged
with Bowery girls and country couples.
The wedding was announced for 4 o'clock,
and an hour or two betcrc this a packed
audience filled the seats iu front of the
delirium tremens curtain. At lat the
orchestra took firm grip of a wedding
march, atul down the narrow aisle
squeezed an usher waving a pair of red
steps. Behind him waddled the 506.
pounds i advertised bill-board weight) ol
the blushing bride, and back of her tow
ered the virgin white of the Albino’s
head. A bridesmaid dressed in man’s
cloth’s carried a bouquet on the
stage, anil a hungry looking minister
followed. The group took present-arms
positions and the preacher began the ser
vice. He was inclined to string it out,
but the critical audience yelled: “Cut it
short, cully," and the latter end of the
service was rattled off in a hurry. Then
kneeling down in the dust of the stage
the preacher prayed for the bride, the
bridegroom, President Arthur and the
country generally, undisturbed by the
yells to “come ott." He said he hoped
bis hearers would meet him in heaven,
announced his name as M. C. Morehouse,
and asked everybody to call at his church
in Seventh street, near Second avenue.
The bride mopped her face during tie
service with a damp handkerchief, and
after the last mop the audience howled to
the preacher to kiss the bride, but he was
not that kind, and the bridegroom per
formed the task. The minister was per
mitted to enter the museum free, audit
any other fee was given it was kept se
cret. The picturesque couple started on
their wedding tour upstairs to the muse
um proper and the audience filed out to
the inspiring strains ol “What Shall the
Harvest Bef"
Anecdote ot Cat.
Letter I“ the Editor of the London Spectator.
About two months ago, while staying
in the Rocky Mountains in Northern Col
orado. I witnessed an example of fatherly
affection in a tom cat, which I feel sure
you will be interested to hear of. This
cat had adopted two motherless kittens;
he slept with them at night, guarded them
in the daytime, and always superintended
their meals, in which latter he showed
great unscliishuess. For the hostess of
the ranch was in the habit of feeding the
kittens out of a small bow! of milk laid
on the floor, into which they at once
would plunge their heads; meanwhile
“Kitty firav,” the okl tom cat—quite
aware that "there was not room for his
own great head in it, too—would sit by
complacently watching them, nor move
till they hall finished, except when his
hunger was very keen, and then he would
dip his paw in how and again and lick it.
This was the case when 1 saw hint, and 1
shall not readily forget the sight of that
large gray and white eat walking de
murely round the bowl to see where he
could iK.*6t insert his paw w ithout disturb
ing the kittens, and then, with his head
much on one side, dipping it delicately in
and out, until they had quite finished,
when he at once fell to and drank up the
remainder.

THE SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, MARCH 1, 1885.
RAILROAD MAGNATES.
Senator* Wlio Act Friendly Toward Mo
nopolistic Corporations.
Tho United States Senate is the last
hope of the delinquent railway corpora
tions, says a Washington letter to the
Philadelpia liecord. An analysis of the
causes obstructing legislation designed
to correct the evils of the railway system
of the country or to compel the payment
of what is due the government from the
subsidized railways of the West reduces
them all to variations of one great cause,
and that is the opposition of a majority of
the Senate. Mind, 1 do not say the ma
jority of the Senate, whether Republican
( or Democratic, but a majority. Monop
! olies have no politics. Their representa
-1 lives and friends in Congress sink below
politics. Ido not mean to be understood
as saying that the representatives of a
railway corporation in the lobby bribe a
majority of the Senate ai any time to be
its representatives on the floor. But 1
simply state the luet, which everybody
at all familiar w ith the work of Congress
knows to be well understood at the capi
tal. ihut across the path of every man
i who tries to bring the artificial persons
i of the country to a legal level with the
| natural persons, making the same rules
j oi justice and equity applicable to both
: classes, stands the Senate of the United
j States by the will of a greater or lesser
j majority. Why is this? It is because,
| in the first place, so many members of the
j Senate are personally interested iu the
! railway corporations at wh eh legislation
| is directed. I eau name twenty Senators
; who have such an interest iu some rail
j way or other, or in whom some railway or
other has such an interest, that they can
usually be counted upon as certain to
vote against any important measure
which would place the railway corpora
tions on a basis ol equality with other
persons before the law. Then there are
others, against w hose characters no word
ol condemnation has over been uttered,
w hose conduct in dealing w ith the rail
way problem is, to say the last, most
peculiar. They seem to examine it with
the clear eyes’ of judicial fairness, but,
somehow or other, w hatever the partic
ular question may be they always decide
it in favor of the railway corporations
aud against the people. ’ They seem to
have a constitutional bias in that direc
tiun. They bend the constitution of the
country and tho conscience ot the Senate
to it. Then there are some very technical
lawyers who worship precedents as the
savage his fetiches. “Stare decisis" will
be found engraven ou their hearts when
they die. inasmuch as the railways
have oitentimes so many more precedents
than the representative t>f lhe people,
who are trying to establish a precedent of
a uiiferent sort for the future, Senators of
this class will usually be found on the
side ol the railways. There is, of course,
a small but eminently respectable class
of Senators, headed by Thomas Francis
Bayard, oi Delaware, ’who are not Influ
enced in favor of the railway by any of
these considerations. But they are gen
erally kept ill the minority. Running
down the list, let us look at some ol the
“railway" Senators. There is Edmunds,
of Vermont, presiding over the Senate,
growing very bald as to his head and
very w hite as to his hair and beard. He
wears a black skull-cap nowadays.* He
is by no means a consistent supporter of
the railways. But as general counsel for
the Central Railroad,ot Vermont, at once
the greatest corporation and the strongest
political ring in the State, his sympathies
are generally with the railways. He sees
the strong points in a railway’s ease very
quickly. " Still, be deserves great credit
for some good speeches and some good
votes on this subject. There is Allison,
ot lowa, a suave, sweet-tempered, schol
arly man, who rather leans toward the
railways, especially those in his own
State, dearly as he loves the people. His
colleague, James F. Wilson, is a famous
railroad lawyer, who has represented the
great Western railways here at odd times
when not in Congress. It is not strange
that long experience as a railway lawyer
should have made him a railway advo
cate. Wilson’s stout, sturdy figure
(his brown hair turning wnite
at the ends and standing
straight up on the top of his big head)
has been lamiliar here ior years. lie has
come to be known as one of the friends of
the railways. Bowen, of Colorado, came
herewith that reputation, and has done
nothing so far to alter it. He is tne friend
nut only of the railways generally but of
the railway men of Colorado particularly,
and is counted on very confidently when
ever they get in a tight place. Bowen is
a shabliy-looking citizen with a keen
face, whose sharp outlines are being
gradually dulled by the life he leads.
Doipli, of Oregon, is one of the two or
three handsome men of the Senate. A
tall, broad man, with a tine classic head,
gray-haired and well-finished, with a long,
flowing silvery beard. He is a rich law
yer, and a man vvhojtnows a good thing
when he sees it. lie knows all about the
railways of the Northwest. Now Brown,
of Georgia, knows all about the railways
of the Southeast. He is the saintly-look
mg sinner, with the flossy white berad
and the full white face, with its gold
spectaekd, unsearchable eyes. He is
President ot the Western anil Atlantic
Railroad Company. He is just back
from a ten-day trip to Atlanta on railway
business. Camden and Kenna, the Sen
ators from West Virginia, arc railway
men ex-ollicio. Tho Senators from West
Virginia always are. Camden is better
known as a Standard Oil Company man.
Eugene Hale is a railway Senator by
virtue of the investments of his father-in
law, the late Zach Chandler, of Michigan.
Palmer, of Michigan, like all the rich
Republicans ot that State, has two or
three railways on his bands. Plumb, ot
Kansas, is a friend of Jay Gould, and is
always found lighting uuder the banner
of the railway " barons. Say wer (telioi
tous name), the Wisconsin lumber map,
loves a railway corporation almost as
much as he does a thousand-acre tract
of “pine lands." Miller, of California,
the fur seal monopolist, looks kindly ou
the suffering railways. Sewell, of New
Jersey, is well known as a railway law
yer. ’ Mahone lias a record as a railway
wrecker only equaled by his record as a
political wrecker. And so I might go
on: but I have said enough, I think, to
show you that the railways have friends
at court. Please remember that l charge
none of these men with anything more
than a friendly interest in almost every
railway corporation brought before the
b ir of public justice.
Sometimes the only power which the
Senate respects—that of the press—com
pels even its unwilling majority to do the
right thing even in the case of a railway
corpo'ation. For example, take the tor
feiture of the Texas Pacific lanu grant
now owned by the Southern Pacific Rail
way Company. The bill went through
the House last session; “but," said Hunt
ington’s lobbyists, “we’ll block it in the
Senate." They always say that. Last
week ti:ev thought they had blocked it,
for they had il laid aside in the Senate.
But the newsnapers took the matter up,
and Van Wyc’k, one ol tho most useful, if
he is one of the queerest and oddest mem
bers of the Seuate, impressed upon the
Senators what the papers said about it,
read them some choice extracts from
Huntington’s famous “wild-bog" corre
spondence, and insisted upon immediate
action, llelore the lobby could rally its
forces he had forced the bill right
through. Only two men voted against it.
One was Blair, of guano-Sbipherd noto
riety: the other Bowen, ot Colorado.
•IS THAT YOU, HUBBY "
Hon- a LttMe Husband was Paddled by
Ills Wife in San Francisco.
They are laughing at the City Hall, says
the San Francisco Call, at a malicious
story about a well known servant of the
municipal government, whose inches of
stature are in inverse ratio to his clerical
talents. This exceedingly small but
worthy gentleman is the fortunate pos
sessor ol a spouse who fills the Homeric
description of a stately Juno, towering in
the majesty of her massive beauty above
the other goddesses ol Olympus. She is
as strict a mother as she is a fond and
dutiful wife.
So when she heard an incipient riot the
other evening in the nursery alter bed
time she seized her slipper and hastened
to subdue the over-hilarious youngsters.
The latter, with the guile of childhood,
extinguished the light before the correct

ternal enforcement of discipline had to be
carried on In darkness. Two of the of
fenders acknowledged the uneasiness of
their positions on the maternal knee by
juvenile shrieks. The third sufferer, in

astonished lady dropped him and gasped:
“Is that you, hubby ?” It was. The reck

HIS SILENT. SHY DIVINITY.
The Earl of Durham’s Beautiful But
Cold-Hearted Bride—Seeking a Divorce
from H ron the Grouud that She Was
Insane Before the Marriage— Her Cu
rious Behavior After Marriage.
London, Feb. 25.—A great deal of pa
thetic and romantic interest is attached
to the suit for annulment of marriage
which has been begun by tte young Earl
of Durham, and is to lie tried this week
before Sir James Hannan in the London
Divorce Court. The Earl, whose family
name is John George Lambton, is an amia
ble gentleman, in the 30th year of his age.
He succeeded his father as the third Earl
of Durham in 1870, inheriting a vast area
of lauded property along with the title.
Since his accession to the peerage
he has dabbled in politics, and
has opposed th ■ Radicals ol the Chamber
lain school; but his political influence
has never extended far beyond the bound
aries of his own estates. In 1882 he mar
ried Miss Ethel, the second daughter ol
the late Henry B. W. Milner, Esq. 3liss
Milner was and is a beautiful young wo
man, and bad been the reigning belle in
London society during two seasons. The
marriage was a splendid social event.
There seemed to be no doubt of the young
Earl’s devotion to his lovely bride, and it
wps testified to some extent by tne lav
ishness of his gifts. All the heirlooms of
the Durham family were settled upon
tho bride, and $300,000 worth of jewelry
was presented to her by the Earl. Costly
presents were also made to the brides
maids. and it seemed as though a mar
riage combining so much wealth and
beauty must surely be a happy union.
Within a few months of the wedding
rumors arose that the young Earl anu
Countess were not living happily to eth
er. There was no quarrel and no scandal,
but they ceased to be seen together, and
the Countess appeared to bo moping and
melancholy. The story became public
last November, when the Earl applitd for
an annulment oi the marriage on the
ground that his wife was Insane. The
legal proceedings were conducted during
the earlier stages with great delicacy and
regard for the ft elings of the parties in
interest and the families on both sides. It
was urged on behalf of the Countess that
the Earl was estopped from seeking an
annulmentof the marriage,even if she had
become insane, because by bis marriage
vows he had sworn to cherish her in sick
ness or health. The answer of the Earl’s
lawyers was that the lady had been in
sane before the marriage. The Ear), how
ever. seemed in no hurry to press the suit
to trial, and it is only to-day that what
are believed to bo the real facts of the
courtship and wedded lile of the Eari and
Countess have come to light.
According to the statements of the Earl
of Durham, which are supported in many
points by indisputable evidence, he found
Miss Milner the most charming, and, at
4he same time, the most indifferent woman
he had ever seen. She inflamed his pas
sion, but neither encouraged nor repelled
it. When he asked her to become his
wife, bhe admitted that he was as accept
able as any man she had seen, but said
she had never thought of marrying. He
took this for an acceptance and sought
the consent of her guardian, which was
easily obtained. The bride bore her part
throughout the brief engagement and the
wedding ceremony with grace and dignity,
tut when tire festivities were over
she seemed to have no more ap
preciation of the meaning of the
ceremony than if it had been a masque
rade at which she had assisted. She
was always quiet, gentle atul obedient,
with a sort of childlike docility, but she
had absolutely no recognition as a
husband for the mau with whom she had
stood at the alt ir. The Earl supposed
that this abnormal state of mind was only
the result of excessive shyness and re
serve, resulting from a struggle ietween
maidenly modesty and her love for him.
He tried every gentle remedy which he
could think of, but her mind remained a
blank as to the marriage vows or what
the words implied. He says that he is
therefore reluctantly compelled to ask
tor an annulment of the marriage, ivitti
abundant provision for the appropriate
maintenance of the Countess, because
that is the only way in which he can be
come lret> to marry again, as there is no
suspicion of criminality on either side.
Counsel for the plaintiff cited many in
stances of the defendant’s conduct to
prove that she was and had long been of
unsound mind. One of these was her ex
treme taciturnity toward her husdanu,
even hetoro marriage. Another was her
aononna) insensibility to puiu. Before
his marriage to Miss Milner the Earl was
much worried about the strange silence
so persistently maintained by his affi
anced. Ho attempted in every way he
knew how to make her more tal|#tivo
and communicative, but all to no pur
pose. When the marriage engagement
had been entered into he wrote to her:
I wonder if you will ever talk to mo. Alter
marriage 1 could gaze ou your charms some
hours every day; but it will become monoto
nous if we maintain this gloomj' silence the
rest of the time.
During this period of their acquaint
ance the Earl called her his “silent, shy
diviuitv.”
The plaintiff said that frequently before
his marriage Miss Milner had often said
to him :
‘“Oh, there is something awful, dreadful,
1 ought to tell you,” but whenever he
would press her to tell him, or explain
what she meant, she would retreat from
the entire subject. During the entire
period of their courtship she had never
used a single word ot endearment toward
him. Her invariable answer to his ques
tions was, “I don’t know." Evidence was
adduced showing that the defendant’s
mother had committed suicide during a fit
of temporary insanity.
Some of the partisans of the Earl are
less lenient in their judgment, and say
that he ha 9 been willfully imposed upon
from first to last by the Milner family.
Justice Hannan, before whom theappli
cation was made, set apart to-morrow
for the special and private hearing of the
medical testimony essential to establish
the nature of the lady’s affliction, giving
aB a reason for having this hearing pri
vate that it was undesirable to have this
part of the case made public.

San Dieyo Union.
A nurseryman recently handed to our
reporter some of the fruit of the melon
shrub—a new importation from Central
America.
The fruit is of the size of a gosse egg,
and very much of the same shape. The
color is lemon, or pale orange, with streaks
of bright violet. The interior of the fruit,
ior it partakes of the nature 'of a musk
melon, but has a much thinner rind, is a
solid pulp, similar to that of a pear, also
of a pale yellow color, and in taste again
resembling the inuskinelon, but has be
sides a pleasing acid, said to be so whole
some and delicious that when partaken
of on a very warm day it takes all the
thirst away for hours.
The plant has been successfully grown
ill Los Angeles county,and is being intro
duced in this county. As it is an enor
mous vielder, the" fruit pleasant and
wholesome, and commanding a good price
in the market, tho melon shrub undoubt
edly has a good future before it.
THE WASHINGTON FAMILY.
The Descendants of the Father of Bis
Country.
While preparations were being made for
the ceremonies of dedicating tho Wash
ington monument, says the Wash
ington Star, Dr. Joseph M. Toner,
as a member of the commission in charge
of the ceremonies, placed himself in com
munication with members of the Wash
ington family now living, with the view
of extending to them invitations to attend
the ceremonies. A reporter suggested to
Dr. Toner that the performances of this
duty had given him opportunities of
learning much about the Washington
family.
“Yes," said Dr. Toner. “I met many of
the men bearing the name of Washington,
as well as members of tne family by col
lateral marriage bearing other names.
The number of the kin to whom invita
tions were sent was about 300. Thirteen
gentlemen bearing the name of Washing
ton had seats together on the floor of the
House of Representatives on the occasion
of tne dedicatory services, and besides in
the gallery were seated 30 ladies of the
kin of Washington."
"It is not strsnge," continued Dr.
Toner, “that so large a kindred of Wash
ington should exist when it is renum
bered that he had two half brothers and
one half sister, as well as two lull brothers
and one full sister, all of whom had fam
ilies. His sister Betty married and left a
large family. His two brothers, Charles
and Samuel, both married and settled in
the valley of Virginia on large and most
productive farms. Charleston, the coun
ty seat of Jefferson county. West Vir
ginia, was named alter Chailes Wash
ington. His brother Samuel owned an
adjoining plantation of nearly ‘2,000 acres
of land. Samuel was married live times,
though he died at the age of 46. The de
scendants of Samuel arc very numerous.
Those of Charles, however, are compara
tively lew."
“What are the characteristics of the
family ?" asked the reporter.
“It may be said to be a eharacteristic.of
the Washingtons," answered Dr. Toner,
“that they have been and still are devoted
to agriculture. A few have studied law,
and some medicine, but the greater num
ber oi them take to mathematics, survey
ing and farming. When they have en
gaged in merchandizing it lias usually
been in connection with the management
ot their estates. Both the full brothers of
Washington were deceased before the
General. The General died possessed of
large amounts of excellent land in Vir
ginia, West Virginia, Ohio and Pennsyl
vania, and devised these lands to his
nephews, who were, in consequence, put
in possession of considerable estates
that made them independent, influen
tial and prosperous citizens in the
neighborhoods where they lived. They
nearly all married young and leit
families. It may be said, too, in this con
nection, that as a family they are short
lived. A few exceptions to this rule ip,
however, observable. 1 flud that the
Washingtons have always been fond of
the gun, and the* most noted horsemen of
the sections in which they lived. Their
personal appearance, as a class, has been
characterized by hull, large-boned frames,
and strong, well-cut features. In their
habits they are social and hospitable to a
degree of extravagance. They have all
been free, good livers, and occasionally
some have indulged too freely in spirits,
but cases of inebriates among them are
exceptions. Their preference for agri
culture over other pursuits in man
ifested by the character of the
sections 'of country in which
the kin of Washington now reside. They
are most numerous in Virginia. Tennes
see and Kentucky, but a considerable
number of them also reside in Ohio, Min
nesota, Pennsylvania, California and
Georgia, where they have usually settled
on the most productive tarm lands. As
another characteristic it may be stated
that they are unambitious for public posi
tion, but wherever they have filled posi
tions of trust they have discharged their
duties with fidelity. The ability of Judge
Bushrod Washington, a member of the
Supreme Court, and his aide reports will
suggest themselves to tho minds of every
one."
“Do you find among them any striking
resemblance to the Father of His Coun
try ?"
“‘lt was stated to me," said Dr. Toner,
“by members of various branches of the
family that occasionally would be born iu
a family of the kin one bearing a very
striking’ resemblance to Washington,
while his brothers, and even his father,
migiit retain only the general physical
characteristics of the' Washingtons.
George Washington, who now lives in
Alexandria, is remarkably like Gen.
Washington in personal appearance.”
“Perhaps," suggested the reporter, “il
Washington should return now, and wear
a full beard, no one would know him?"
“There was not," said Dr. Toner, “a
General in the Revolution that wore a
beard. There is not a portrait that shows
that any private engaged in that war
wore a beard." -
TWO MIIiFS A MINUTE.
Wild Fowl that Could Mafco Loops
Around the Smokestack of the Best
Locomotive.
“I’ve held my watch on about every
kind of wild duck there is," said R. W.
Winans, an old-time wild-fowl hunter, to
a New York Sun reporter, “and 1 can
toll just about to the sixty-third part of a
dot how much space any one of ’em can
get over in an hour. There's no railroad
train on the continent that can hold a
candle to one side of the slowest duck
that flies.
“The canvasback can distance the
whole duck family, if it lays itself out to
doit. When the canvasback is out tak
ing things easy, enjoying a little run
around the block, as it were, it jogs
through the air at the rate of 80 miles an
hour. If it has business somewhere and
has to get there, it puts two miles behind
it every minute it keeps its wings flap
pine:, and does it as easy as you or 1
would step into Fritz’s and call lor beer.
If you don’t believe it. just tire square at
the leader In a string ot canvasbacks that
are out on a business cruise some time
when you get the chance. Duckshot
travels pretty uuick. but if your charge
brings down any one of these ducks at all.
I’ll blow you off to a pairol the best there
is in the market, with trimmings and all,
it it isn’t the fifth or sixth one back from
the leader that drops. If you have the
faintest idea that you will bring the leader
down, you must aim at space not iess
than ten feet ahead ot him. Then ho’ll
run plumb against your shot. When he
drops you will find him a quarter of a
mile or so on.
“The mallard duck is a slow coach. It’s
all he wants to do to go a mile a minute,
but he can do it when it is necessary.
His ordinary, every day style ol getting
along over the country gets him from
place to place at about a 15 mile an hour
rate. The black duck is about an even
match for the mallard, and the pintail,
widgeon, and wood duck can’t do much
better. The redhead can sail along with
ease and cover his 00 miles an hour as
long as he feels inclined to. Tha blue
winged teal and its handsome cousin, the
green winged teal, could fly side by side
lor 100 miles and muke the distance neck
and neck, for one can fly just as last as
the other, and to go 100 miles an hour is
no bard task for either of them. The gad
wale—you don’t know what a gadwale is,
I’ll bet: I thought not. Well, it’s a
duck that doesn’t get East very olten, but
it is well known in the West. It is some
thing like a mallard, only harder to shoot,
because it is not so unsuspecting as the
mallard. The gadwale is something ot a
daisy on the fly, too, and will win money
for you every time if you bet it can make
its do miles au hour.
“Maybe you wouldn’t think that a
goose could almost double discount the
fastest fast express train that runs on
our railroads, but it can’ every time. I
mean a wild goose. It has a big heavy
body to carry, but it manages to glide
from one feeding ground to another with
a suddenness that is a caution to wing
shots. To see*a flock of honkers moving
along, so high up that they seem to be
scraping their backs against the sky,
you’d never believe they were traveling
between eighty and a hundred miles an
hour, but they are. The wild goose never
has any time to fool awav, and his gait is
always a business one.
“The broadbill duck is thjonlv wild
fowl that can push the canvasback on the
wing. Let a broadbill and a canvasback
each do his best for an hour, and the
broadbill would only come out about ten
miles behind. A hundred and ten miles
an hour can be done by the broadbill, and
ho, consequently, makes a mark for a
6hbtgun that a greenhorn wouldn’t hit
once in twenty-seven years.”

A GANG OF CUT-TIIROATS.
An Atlanta Firm Causes a Big Sensa
tion-Cowhides in the Air.
The recent excitement incident to the
unparalleled rush for a noted blood puri
fier, in Atlanta, is hardly on the wane.
One of the more ostentatious druggists re
cently bought up a large lot ol a cele
brated blood remedy, and
MADE A CUT
on the former retail price. One of his
modes of advertising this fact was to
stand boys in frout of opposition drug
stores distributing advertising matter.
This so harassed one druggist that he ap
proached his opponent and said. “If you
don’t stop that boy, you or I will get a
cowhiding." Another druggist, not th be
outdone, made a
STILL LOWER CUT,
and for several days had a force of boys
paradiog the streets with banners, bear
ing the inscription, in bold letters, B. B. B.
This novel proceeding evoked much
comment, and is the first instance of a
patent medicine creating a universal com
motion among druggists ou record, which,
however, only seems to show the
GREAT POPULARITY OF BOTANIC BLOOD
BALM.
Within the past six months the demand !
for this remedy has been wondenul, a
number ot druggists retailing as much as
three dozen bottles in one day. At pres
ent some buy it in five gross lots, some
three, and others one grtss at a time. The
Blood Balm Company recently made a ;
contract with J. W. Holman, of Denver,
Cos!., for the sale of
$120,000,000 WORTH OF 11. B. B.
This is the largest contract of the kind
ever made in the United States to on >
house. The proprietors of B. B. B. have
no hand iu this cut-rate war among the
trade, and oniy regret that the druggists
should become angry in their endeavors
to catch the largest trade in the sale of B.
B. 8., which has of late become so heavy
and universal in Atlanta. No one will
doubt the heavy demand when aware of
the fact that B. B. B. is the first and only
