Remnants of the Carpetbag Era.
An effort Ls being made to secure a par
don for Franklin J. Moses, ex-Gov
eraor of South Carolina, who is an inmate
of the Massachusetts penitentiary. It is
claimed that he is broken down mentally
and physically, and that if he is not released
he will die in a short time.
The fact should be kept in mind that
Moses was not the kind of a Governor that
the poople of South Carolina are accustomed
to. He was a scalawag Govemor.and reached
the high position he occupied by means of
negro votes and Federal bayonets. He was
no more the choice of the people than was
Bullock, of this State.
The carpetbag and scalawag Governors
of Southern States have not, as a rule, had
a happy time of it since their descent from
places of influence and power. They have
had a pretty fair share of punishment in
this world for their crimes, and they have
no reason to expect a happy time hereafter.
Their negro allies have also, in many in
stances, suffered just punishment for their
misdeeds.
IV. J. AYhipper is the leading col
ored man of South Carolina. He is smart
and bad, a combination which makes him
a very undesirable part Of any community.
For a number of years he has been Probate
Judge of Beaufort county. He does not
occupy the bench now. He is in jail. The
charge under which he rests is that of
defrauding orphans committed to the care
of his court. It seems a little remarkable
that his friend, the colored ex-Congressman,
Small, should have caused him this trouble,
but such, it seems, is the case.
There are three South Carolina Republi
cans of the reconstruction period who
can lie accounted for at once.
They are ex-Gov. Scott, who is now in
Ohio and who killed a man soon after
he returned there; ex-Gov. Moses, who
is in the Massachusetts penitentiary, and
Judge WTiipper, who is in the Beaufort (S.
C.) jaiL Their present positions are very
different and not quite so desirable as were
the positions they occupied when carpet
baggers and scalawags held the Southern
States in their grasp.
A Remarkable Conspiracy Case.
The trial of Hiram B. Everest and his
son Charles, at Buffalo, N. Y., for con
spiracy, attracted a great deal of attention.
A verdict of guilty was returned a day or
two ago, but the case is not yet disposed of.
The defendants have given bail for their
appearance when wanted, and in the mean
time their case will go to the Court of Ap
peals if anew trial is not granted them
The interest in the trial arose mainly
from the belief that the defend
ants represented the Standard
Oil Company, and acted in all things in har
mony with its policy. Nobody appears to
have a doubt as to what that policy is. If
the general impression is correct it is to
wholly monopolize the oil refining business.
The statement has been made frequently
that it has ruined many of its small com
petitors in its efforts to get the business into
its own hands. Three of the Standard oil
men were indicted with the Everest*, but
they were discharged before the trial was
ended on the ground that there was not suffi
cient evidence against them to justify the
court in holding them.
The story of the alleged conspiracy is an
interesting one. The Everest* owned the
Vacuum Oil Works at Rochester, anti sold
a three-fourths interest in them to the
Standard Oil Company. Three of their
employes started at Buffalo what was called
the Lubricating Oil Refinery One of these
employes was Albert A. Miller. Ac
cording to the evidence given at the
the trial the Everest* tried to induce the
three men to abandon their enterprise by
threatening them with ruin. They wore
told that the entire $75,000,000 of the Stand
ard Oil Company would tie used to break
down their business. The threat made no
impression upon them. The Everest* then
approached Miller, who had the manage
ment of the new refinery, and offered him a
large bribe to destroy it. It seems that this
offer was acceptedT The first time an at
tempt to use the refinery was made there
was a terrific explosion and the reflnei'y was
destroyed.
Miller was kept out of the way. He
finally became tired of wandering about
and went back to New York and told one of
his partners the entire story of the destruc
tion of the refinery. Of course, indictments
followed, and the Everest* were convicted.
If no mistake has been made the Everest*
ought to go to State's prison for a very long
term.
It is probably time that no member of the
Standard Oil Company had anything di
rectly to do with the conspiracy to destroy
the Buffalo Refinery The fact, however,
that there are many oil refiners in differ
ent parts of the country, who claim that
they were ruined by the Standard, gives
color to the suspicion that the Buffalo Re
finery was destroj ed in pui'su&nce of the
wishes of the Standard.
Huge monopolies are dangerous. It is
hardly possible for them at all times to be
controlled by honest men, and when in the
hands of had men they are liable to lie used for
bad purposes. Their power is so great that
they have uo difficulty in becoming still
more powerful by destroying all opiKwition
to their plans. Even if the Standard is
wholly guiltless of any imtticipation in the
Buffalo affair it might be wise to keep it
under surveillance.
The money-making faculty is a natural,
not an acquired, one. A writer in the Bos
ton Globe tells how the editor of Judge, Mr.
Arkell, made money on Oscar Wilde, the
long-haired aesthetic English poet. When
Wilde was in thus country Mr. Arkell asked
him what he would charge to go to Mount
McGregor and to pretend to be the recipi
ent of a complimentary breakfast. Oscar
asked 8200. Arkell paid it, and invited
eighty Saratoga visitors to meet him. Then
he ran frequent trains up to the mountain
hotel. Thousands made the trip to see
Wilde eat. Wilde was then paid SSO for
telegraphing a regret to an invitation in
Saratoga, and saying he couldn’t persuade
himself to leave the trees on Mount Mc-
Gregor. Arkell cleared almut $.'1,000 on the
job. Arkell declined to tell how much he ex
pended to secure the keeping of Grant’s
body at Mount McGregor a week after his
death, and also how much he cleared on
the extra trains he ran. but the multitude
was great and the profits must have been
enormous. P I
Mr. Theodore Roosevelt, of New York,
made a rather good speech nt the dinner
given him a few days ago in that city by
the Federal Club, and on ,tlie strength of it
the Harrisburg Telegraph has nominated
him for Vice President on the Republican
ticket. Mr. Roosevelt will have to do some
thing more than make a good after-dinner
speech before the country wifi consider him
tit for the Vice Presidency.
TIIE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY, MAY 19, 1887.
Mr. Randall and the South.
In a speech at Alexandria, Va., on last
Saturday Mr. Randall criticised quite severe
ly those Democratic leaders who are advo
cating a reduction of the tariff, and declared
that almost every State south of the Potomac
is drifting towards protection. He expressed
a strong desire to help the South, and in the
course of his remarks on this line said: “If
the South’s own leaders, I mean many of
them, don’t see the crisis ahead by turning
in with the current, and keeping it in the
line of friendship there will be a sudden
ness and overwhelmingness of reckoning
such as has never been seen here or else
where.”
Mr. Randall makes the mistakeof thinking
that the development of the iron industry in
the South is causing a revolution in South
ern sentiment on the tariff question. There
is no doubt that the South is as solidly in
favor of a radical reform in (jho tariff now
as she ever was. There may be a notice
able protection sentiment in the sugar pro
ducing section of Louisiana, and in Alabama
and Tennessee towns where iron is manu
factured, but, taken as a whole, the South
is now, as she has been for years, in favor of
a tariff for revenue, and not for protection.
Mr. Randall does not hear of a demand
for protection from the Presidents of the
largest Southern cotton mills. Now and
then there is a manufacturer who is a pro
tectionist, but it is doubtful of any one of
them noticeably influences public sentiment
in favor of protection, even in his immedi
ate locality. It would be interesting to
know, therefore, on what Mr. Randall bases
his statement that almost all of the Southern
States are drifting toward protection.
It is safe to say that the growth of the
sentiment in favor of tariff reform has
been much greater in the North and West,
within the last few years, than the growth
of the sentiment in favor of protection has
been, in the same period, in the South. The
Philadelphia Record , in commenting upon
Mr. Randall's Alexandria speech, calls hi*
attention to the growth of the tariff reform
sentiment in his own State, Pennsylvania. It
says; “But, instead of going South with
his old Whig doctrines of protection to hec
tor Democrats because of their adherence to
the honored principle of their party,
let Mr. Randall be admonished to
look to his own rear. We recommend
to his attentive perusal the interviews with
the Democratic editors of Pennsylvania in
the Pittsburg Post. If he be not struck with
judicial blindness, such a perusal must con
vince him that he cannot maintain his policy
of tariff obstruction in Peimsylvania—much
less carry it into the South or any other por
tion of the country There are more Demo
cratic journals in Pennsylvania favorable
to the principles of revenue reform as advo
cated by Carlisle, Morrison and nine-tenths
of the Democrats in Congress than there are
Democratic organs of protection in the en
tire South. The cause of tariff reform has
made more progress in Pennsylvania in two
years than the protectionist reaction in the
South has made in ten.”
(The truth is Mr. Randall set* that he is
losing ground in his fight for protection, and
is trying to excuse himself for obstructing
the cause of tariff reform in Congress. It is
not yet known how the present Congress
will stand on the tariff question, but there is
no reason to think that Mr. Randall will be
able to muster a* many Democrats hffipprK
sition to tariff reduction neSt wffijef as fra
did when that issue was hefore the Tfrtnse hi'
the last Congress. He will have')# act with
his party on the tariff or he will span enjoy
the notoriety of being the only Demoertitfd
Congressman who stands with the Republi
cans on the greatest issue between the twj
great parties.
Having been requested to contribute to
the fund for the proposed celebration of
Queen Victoria’s jubilee in New York, Mr.
Andrew Carnegie writes a very sensible let
ter declining to do so. He says that as an
American citizen he rejects the monarchical
idea as inconsistent with and insulting to
his manhood. He cannot see what natural
ized Americans have to do with celebrating
the reign of any monarch., He thinks that
even aliens who are indebted to this country
for hospitality should have too much
good taste to parade their preference
for political institutions vitally opposed to
those of the land in which they dwell and
prosper. He concludes the letter by sug
gesting that if Scotchmen in New York
wish to celebrate something, they should
make a demonstration on the Fourth of
July, “and pray that the day is not far dis
tant when our less favored countrymen at
home shall share with us the blessings of
institutions founded upon the political
equality of the citizen —the day when hered
itary privilege will be unknown and when
‘government of the people, by the people,
and for the people’ will be the watchword
of English-speaking men throughout the
world.”
For sometime past Camden, N. J., has
been the theatre of numerous sensational
marriages. Runaway couples from other
cities go there and prominent ministers
marry them. In some eases it is said that
the law has been violated. Rev. Madison
C. Peters, pastor of a Philadelphia Presby
terian church, severely criticised Rev.
Isaac W. Bagley, Rev. J. J. Sleeper and
Rev. John Y. Bobbins, of Camden, for
marrying couples that ran away from the
former city. Much incensed, Rev. Bagley
threatened to whip Rev. Peters on sight.
The latter replied to the threat, informing
Rev. Bagley that two could take a hand in
the whipping business. It is said that
reputable citizens of Camden intend to take
step* to punish the ministers that have
violated the law.
Burns and Sullivan, members of the Chi
cago Base Ball Club, called on President
Cleveland the other day. The former called
the President’s attention to the fact that
when the Chicago* were in Washington,
sometime ago, they were defeated in the
first game with the local club. Next day
they called on the President in a body, and
that nftenioon walked away with the local
dub by a score of 20 to 0. The Chicagocs
now consider the President their mascotto.
Ex-Gov. Homily announces that, he is not
a candidate for the position on the bench of
tho United States Supreme Court, made
vacant by the death of Justice Woods. He
also announces that lie would not accept
the position should it lie tendered him. It
seems, therefore, that, the statement that the
ox-Goveraor moved from Ohio to New York
in order to be in the line of appointment
should there be a vacancy on the Federal
Supreme bench was untrue.
A Louisville (Ky.) man is responsible for
the following remarkable advertisement:
“Wanted to exchange for whisky: Desirable
lot on Sixth street, 117 feet front by 200 foot
deep." It mny lie that the man intends to
run for office and is preparing to “set’em
up for the boys.”
CURRENT COMMENT.
Immigration and Wealth.
From the Providence Telegram (Dem.)
Immigrants are coming in at New York at the
rate of 10,000 a day. Statisticians say that each
able bodied immigrant is worth to the country
SI,OOO the day he lands. Ten thousand dollars
are $10,000,000. Besides, each immigrant brings,
on an average, $23 in money. Twenty-three
multiplied by 10,000 is $230,000.' Ten million two
hundred and thirty thousand dollar-; is a hand
some daily addition to the national wealth.
The Pickett Monument at Gettysburg.
From the yew York Herald (Ind.)
Yes, and wheu the monument is built the sur
vivors of that light can meet arid shake hands.
We are not to forget that we are Americans, all
of us; that Southern bravery and Northern
bravery are the common pride of the country.
The only thing that remains of the past is that
the two armies were made of (he test fighting
material in the world, and the glorious fact of
the present and the future is that North and
South are shoulder to shoulder, and nothing
under heaven can again draw us apart.
Arbitration the Remedy.
From the yew York Tribune ( Rep).
The miners at Wilkesbarre. l’a.. are nearly as
foolish as workingmen ever can be. They quit
work because, os thev say, they are unjustly
“docked” of a part of their wages when they
send up loads of coal containing too much slate;
and yet the mine owners declared last night
that they had not been informed as to what the
men complained ateut. Jn other instances the
men wanted more wages, which possibly they
were entitled to. But a stirke was not the
remedy. Arbitration was the plain cure for all
these troubles.
Next Year’s Vote.
From the Boston Herald ilnd.)
The Herald does not undertake to make so
close a calculation as to predict how nine hun
dred and ninety-nine of each thousand of the
Independents of 18KI will vote next year What
It did say was that the claim made that
nine hundred and ninety-nine of each thousand
of them would support John Sherman next
year as a candidate for the Presidency was not
true. It believes, also, that with President
Cleveland as a candidate for President next
year, the Independent contingent in the vote
will te much larger than it was four years
earlier.

THE INQUISITIVE ELEPHANT.
A Story of An Infatuated Youth and
His Priceless Cane.
From the Fete York Times.
A highly dressed youth whose supple form
was tightly encased in a horsey check suit, and
who, in spite of the fact that the thermometer
was at something lofty in the shade, earned his
well worn tan gloves in his left hand and strolled
into Central Park at the entrance opposite the
arsenal. He was alone, save for the mute com
panionship of a large silver-headed rattan cane,
with which he toyed in his foolish, inimitable
way. His gait suggested that he had nowhere
to go, hut his leisurely steps brought him to the
arena where, apparently unconscious of the
fact that they were being ardently gazed at. the
sportive elephants frolicked in' the sunshine.
Hundreds of people watched the unwieldy gam
bols of the drab beasts, and the advent of the
leisurely youth and the silver-headed rattan
was comparatively unrecognized.
He stood slightly apart from the democratic
crowd, and as he was taller than most of the
people he looked serenely over their heads. A
casual observer might have supposed that he
was regarding the elephants with as much in
terest as anybody else. It was a mistake. The
eyes of the leisurely youth were fixed with a pe
culiarly expressive ardor upon a comely damsel
of some 18 summers who was gazing into the
arena from the other side. There vyas not the
least doubt that the comely damsel was amused
at the ultra-metropolitcm costume of the
leisurely youth, but be evidently interpreted her
smiles to mean that she reciprocated his fascina
tion. Though it was very warm he daintily
elbowed his lissome self through three rows of
people, and stood next to the railings.
Though he considered the elephants no curi
osity, they apparently thought he was one.
They stared as though they would have stared
him out of his little original pallid countenance,
and they came closer to the railing, as though
to make sure he was alive. The leisurely youth,
however, was too interested in his flirtation to
look about him. His neighbors, however, soon
became alive to the fun of the situation. The
youth twirled his sparse hirsute decorations, set
his light brown hat away from his perspiring
forehead, put himself in a graceful and ex
pectant position, screwed up his eyes t the
comely damsel, whose face was now wreathed
with sunny smiles, and involuntarily stuck his
cane through the railings and waived it very
slightly in the air. Theu he withdrew it from
the arena, held it a little in the air over the top
of the elephannta retreat, and looked again at
the damsel, who was now a few yards to his left.
Suddenly a loud burst of laughter from the
spectators rang through the air. The most
inquisitive of the elephants had vigorously
moved his trunk and struck the leisurely
youth's rattan companion from his hand, yards
into the arena. Toe bereaved one, aware of
his affliction, but not knowing how it came to
pass, looked round angrily. ,
"Give me my cane. ' he shouted. No one
spoke. “Come, no fooling.”
A shriek of laughter followed this, and the
comely damsel, in a convulsion of mirth, was
obliged to clutch the railing.
“Get me that cane,” cried the youth, “or I'll
have seme one arrested. Come, I won't stand
this. I-”
At that moment his eye fell upon the recum
bent form of his companion ana he seemed to
see the situation. In a moment he had vaulted
over the railing, taking even the elephants by
surprise, picked up nis cane, jumped back
again, and accompanied by a perfect chorus of
laughter, taken his departure, and quickly and
Sacefully left the upper entrance, whence he
and come.
The Romance of a Season.
Though to the country, fresh and fair,
There are many people going,
I'd rather breathe the seaside air—
I’m fond of boats and rowing.
But why the country I detest,
If you would know the reason.
I'll tell a tale I’ve ne’er confessed—
The romance of a season.
My summers have been always spent
Beside old Neptune s waters,
So for a change last year I went
To woo the farmer's daughters.
But though the rural maids ware fair,
I found a maiden fairer;
To any country lasses there
I never could compare her.
She was the nicest girl I'd met;
Her home was in the city.
But. ah! she was a cruel coquette,
Although so sweet and pretty,
She dabbled in photography.
And took much pleasure in it;
Whene'er a pretty thing she’d see,
She’d “take it” in a minute.
She’d take her cam’ra pleasant days—
She never would forsake it—
And whatsoever met her gaze,
She always had to “take it."
One day upon my bended knee—
My ha ndkerchief was under—
I asked this maid if she’d take me;
She stared in open wonder.
* • • • * •
There’s but a little more to give;
’Twould seem as if she “took me:”
At least I got a negative—
And I confess it shook me!
And so although the country’s fair.
This year I shall ignore it;
It may he full of pleasure's rare—
But I shall ifot explore it,
—Van Dyke Scribbler.
King Leopold’s Daughters.
Brussels letter to the Chicago Times.
I have it on the best authority that the recent
visit of the King of the Belgians to the Prince
and Princess of Wales had something to do
with the project of his daughter Clementine's
marriage with Prince Albert Victor. Well-in
formed persons, however, assure me that such a
union is practically impossible unless Leopold's
daughter abjures her religious belief and be
comes a Protestant. As Albert Victor is looked
on as a future King of England it is out of the
question that his Queen could be a Roman
Catholic. The well-known sentiments of his
grandmother, as well as those of her subjects,
m that regard, confirm the accuracy of such a
view of the case. Leopold had somehow or
other got it into his head that
he will be able to persuade Leo ’XIIT. to allow
Princess Clementine, by special dispensation to
embrace her future—or supposed future—hus
band's faith, but such an idea is as absurd as it
is utterly impracticable, for there, is no record
of any such dispensation in Catholic ecclesiasti
cal history, and no pontiff could permit on any
account any of his spiritual children to renounce
the Church of Rome for Lutheranism or any
other religion. It is said that the Belgian King
threatens, if the dispensation is not secured, to
act just us if it wes not absolutely necessary. In
other words, his majesty will have his daughter
a Lutheran in order that in due time he may be
come the father-in-law of the Emperors of Aus
tria and India an ambition which is certainly,
from other points of view, very commendable
in itself. His daughter Stephanie will, if she
lives, lie Empress of Austria, while his daughter
Clementine, as Albert Victor's spouse, may en
tertain reasonable hopes of lieing Queen of the
British juggernaut on the banks of the Ganges.
Does not Leopold look very far ahead *
Private Secretaries.
From the London World.
An interesting and memorable passage in
“Endyinion" records Lord Beaconsfleld’s esti
mate of the relations that ought to subsist be
tween a minister and his private secretary. In
his judgment they are among the finest and
most sacred bv which two persons of the same
sex can be united together; and he does not hes
itate to assert that .except the married state, there
is none wherein a greater degree of confidence
and sympathy is involved than in that which
they necessitate and imply. It may be conceded
that on this subject Lord Beaconsfleld spoke
with an authority which was the result of a
long, varied, and fortunate experience. It is
probable that no minister was ever under larger
obligations to his private secretaries, and it is
certain that no minister has ever recognised the
fidelity of his private secretaries with more
ample generosity. Lord Rowton. indeed, will
always be remembered os the Benjamin of the
illustrious Benjamin, with whose later fortunes
he has so conspicuously connected, and as par
excellence Lora Beaconsfleld's private secre
tary. But the domestic services which he ren
dered to Lord Beaconsfleld in his declining years
should not be permitted entirely to secure the
far more important political services which
were rendered to Mr. Disraeli by Mr Earle dur
ing the whole of the most critical period of his
career as a Parliamentary leader.
The “Pen” Mightier Than the Sword.
From the Near York Truth.
John B. Parson, the well-known railroad mag
nate, was showing an English friend the bu
ties of Bt. Louis a little while ago.
“Who lives there?” asked the Englishman,
pointing to a magnificent marble palace.
“Mr. Brown, the great pork-packer."
“And there?” said the Englishman, pointing
to another magnificent dwelling.
“Mr. Jones, the famous pork-packer.”
"And there?" pointing to a neat little frame
house.
"Oh, that's Gen. Sherman's house," said Mr.
Carson.
“Ah!" remarked the Englishman, "another
evidence that the 'pen' is mightier than the
sword.”

Georoe Francis Train has shied a legal
bombshell into the booming city of Omaha in
the shape of a suit for 600 acres of its valuable
land, estimated at $10,000,000. Great conster
nation prevails. Citizen Train bought the land
in 1865. and be claims to still hold the title. He
was the prophet of Omaha’s future greatness,
and did much to make her good points known
to the world.
. A strange coincidence recently occurred in a
divorce case before a Massachusetts court. The
defendant bore the historic name of Daniel Web
ster. Strangely enough the woman who sued
for divorce was Catherine Le Roy, which name
was borne by the second wife of the great New
Hampshire orator and statesman. So far as
could be learned, the plaintiff and defendant are
not in any way related to the famous people
whose names they bear.

Gen. Butler is merciless when cross-examin
ing witnesses Once, on a trial in Massachu
setts. at which Prof, Horsford, of Cambridge, a
compeer of Dr. Webster, the eminent anato
mist, was a witness, be used the distinguished
gentleman so roughly in his cross-examination
that the court interfered, saying: “Perhaps,
Mr. Butler, you are not aware who the witness
is. It is Prof. Hereford, of Cambridge.” Where
upon the terrible advocate, fixing an eye upon
each, replied: “Oh, yes. your honor, I know, a
Harvard professor; we hanged one of them a
while ago.”
The Captain of the bark James Borland,
which has arrived at New York from Nuevitas,
reports that May 6, on the edge of the Gulf
Stream, off Body Island, a concussion which
shook the vessel from stem to stern was felt,
and for a moment the Captain thought the
vessel had struck a rock. Immediate! y after
wards a huge wounded whale raised itself under
the bow and theu sank. As far as the eye could
see astern in the wake of the vessel the sea was
streaked with blood. The Captain thinks he
was lucky that the shock of the collision did not
send the Borland to the bottom.
It is said that the memory never entirely loses
what it has once taken up; but not everybody
remembers to such good purpose as did Mrs.
Nancy Freeman, of South Norridgewock, Me.,
93 years old. Mrs. Freeman's husband died
seventeen years ago, and some time before his
death he hired a man to split some wood for
him. Not paying for the work at once, Mr.
Freeman asked his wife to see that the matter
was not forgotten. Both Mr. Freeman and the
man who did the work died soon after, and Mrs.
Freeman had not thought of the debt until it
flashed upon her mind the other day. She im
mediately sought out the widow of the dead
man and paid the bill.
In Chicago there are said to be twenty-seven
distinct schools or factions of “mental healers;”
but they, together with all other irregulars,
will have to pass a satisfactory examination if
a bill now before the Illinois Legislature
becomes a law. It provides: “Any person
shall be regarded as practicing medicine, within
the meaning of this act, who shall treat, oper
ate on or prescribe for tbe,ick or afflicted. It
is furthermore provided that a fee of $25 shall
be paid for the examination of non-graduates,
and that itinerant vendors of anything intended
for the treatment of disease, or who in any
way profess to heal disease by any drug, nos
trum. manipulation or other expedient, shall
pay a license of SIOO a month to the Board.”
The schooner Anna E. J. Morse, of Ports
mouth, was struck by fierce northeasters off
New Point the other night, and Skipper Lansil
at once made harbor. He anchored with his
sheet anchor, paying out 100 fathoms of chain.
A second anchor was dropped and 75 fathoms
were given it. The schooner's tugging at her
moorings parted the last chain at the hawse
pipe and left Capt, Lansil to reflect that his
freight, money would have to pav tribute to re
place the loss, which amounted to about SSOO.
On Sunday morning he began heaving in his
only anchor. When it came in sight hanging to
one of the flukes was a chain, which proved to
belong to the 75 fathoms lost the night before.
A man was ordered over the bow, a line was
made fast to the missing chain and soon the lost
anchor was at the cathead.
A correspondent, writing of a reception at
the American Legation in London, says that
Mrs. Phelps, the Minister’s wife, is a striking
looking woman and receives her guests with
great ease and cordiality. She is about the
medium height, with a full, round figure. Her
nose is nearly straight, and her mouth is small
anil very pleasant in expression. Her eyeß are
a soft gray, full of expression, and showing a
great appreciation of fun when she laughs. Her
hair, which is almost white, w-as arranged in
small, short, soft rings about her face and over
the top of her head. At the back it was twisted
into a soft coil. Mrs. Phelps wore a plain black
silk, the neck cut square and filled in with white
silk tulle. In her hand she carried a long shell
handled binocle. She wore dark tan mous
quetaire gloves, but no jewelry of any kind.
A gentlewoman in straitened circumstances
recently offered for sale through a sympathetic
society womaua very handsome old silk gown
—it was at least 100 and perhaps 200 years old—
a heavy, rich, and tasteful dress. Its owner
thought it intrinsically worth about $l5O, but
was willing to sell it for SIOO. The first person
to whose attention her friend brought the gown
was Mrs. llearst, the generous wife of the silver
Senator from California. When she had heard
the little story and seen the elegant dress Mrs.
Hearst asked the price. “One hundred and fifty
dollars,” was the reply. “Oh, I couldn’t think
of giving that for it," said Mrs. Hearst. Her
hostess was on the point of saying: "My friend
would take SIOO for it,” when Mrs. Hearet went
on: “If you will take 8260 for it I will gladly
buy it—but I couldn't think of giving any less
for it.” It is useless to say that she got it at her
own generous price.
The farms in the United States, according to
the last census, were worth $10,197,000,000. The
residence and business real estate, including
water power, was estimated at $9,881,000,000;
and the railroads, with their equipments at
85.580.000,000. Tbe telegraphs, ships and canals
do not make a large showing, their total value
only reaching $419,000,000. But the live stock,
on and off the farms, farming tools and machin
ery make a very respectable amount, the total
rising to 8”.406.000,000. A still larger item is to
be fouud in the household furniture, paintings,
books, clothing, jewelry and household supplies
of food, fuel and the like the total being placed
at. a round $5,000,000,000. The mines, petroleum
wells and quarries add a trifle of $781,000,000;
while three-quarters of the annual product of
the farms and factories, supposed to remain on
hand. rise to a total of $6, 160.000.000. Churche*.

other real estate exempt from taxation are esti
mated. fancifully, of course, at 82,000,000,000,

including the tools of mechanics, at $050,000,000
the total being $43,623,000,000.
Queen Victoria visited the interior of the
Monastery of the Grand Chartreuse. The visit
will be historical. So strict are the regulations
forbidding the entrance of any female within
the portals that up to the time of her majesty's
visit only one woman, and she a Roman Catho
lic, had ever been allowed to enter it. This was
the Queen of It-l.v, To enable Queen Victoria
to pay a visit a special dispensation from the
Popchart to be obtained. Tbe royal party left
Aix at 10 o’clock by a s)*cinl train for St. Berod.
which was reached at 11 o’clock. Here three
carriages, including the Queen’s own, were
waiting to convey the party to the monastery.
The drive occupied two and a half hours. On
arrival tlie Queen was met at the principal en
trance by the second fattier, who conducted her
majesty across tbe court to the apart ment of
the father superior, who was waiting to receive
her. The Queen was then conducted by the
father superior and a large number of the
fat hers through all the principal apartments,
galleries and chapels. Her majesty frequently
conversed with them, the visit, occupying about,
an hour. Refreshments were served to the
suite in the niouaatci y.
