Now that the New York Tribune has a stoned Wall of its own, it will probably have some respect for the memory of the South’s Stonewall. In Georgia politicians make hay at agri cultural fairs. In New York they make hay at funerals. The Georgia plan is a little more enlivening. Mr. Blaine will sail to Eurojie from New York. The Tribune frill doubtless see that Rev. Dr. Burchard is not permitted to wish him a pleasant voyage. The Spanish pretender, Don Jaime do Bourbon, the anly son of Don Carlos, has gone to Egypt to recover his health after a severe attack of typhoid fever. % It is reported that Editor O’Brien is nearly worried to death by insurance agents who want him to take out accident policies on his life. He ought to carry a gun. The Treasurer of the Brooklyn branch of the Clan-na-Gael has run away, taking with him $40,000 of the order’s money. It is stated that the defalcation has seriously crippled the society. The almost unanimous sentiment of the Labor party leaders in Cincinnati is in favor of the nomination of a farmer for Governor of Ohio. It is about time for Htates other than Ohio to give the farmer u chance. On June 23 Queen Victoria will review 80,000 poor school children in Hyde Park, and will present each with a jubilee China mug. If she wants to make the 30,000 hap py she should fill the mugs with gold coin. A pious resident of Houston county, in this State, prays every morning that the Lord wiii induoe “the rulers of the land to knock the protective tariff into a cocked bat,” It is a prayer that ought to prevail. “Does quiet prevail in Georgia?” asked a trembling New York Republican of a re turned traveler, the other day. Well, yes, She cowhides have all len taken out of coat sleeves and put away upon the top shelves. It is stated that the English government refused to let the Gate City Guard land in England because ('apt. Burke recently took a prominent part in an anti-coercion meet ing in Atlanta. Sad! sad! The Captain ought to have remainod at home ou the score of “a previous engagement.” Sam Small is only a neck behind Sam Jones. In Home, the other day, he mid: “There are men in Rome, C!a., ton lay from the city of Atlanta, whose souls if dropped into hell would create a moral consterna tion." Can't Georgia afford an “evangelist” whose stock-in-trade is something else than coarse language? Some time ago Miss Eulab Wilcox, daughter of a depntv sheriff at Paducah, Kv., was suddenly bereft of speech. Just as she was about to lie overrun with offers of marriage her tongue once more tiegun to do duty. It goes without saying that there are many sad young men in Paducah. Mr. Blaine's friends announce that when he visits England he will join Mr. Glad stone and make home i-ule speeches. After waid he will go to Ireland and gush a little for the buucfit of poor Pat. The scheme is quite a good one. but Mr Blaine shouldn't forget that he is well known at home, lie should remember, too, tliat. his friend, tho Rev. Dr. Burehnrd still live. - . T. T. Coyle is the editor of the Southwest Chronicle, a Catholic pajs-r published in Ban Antonio, Tex. The other day he wont into the Alamo and with a sledge hammer smashed n statuette of Ht. Theresa lwoau.se there was a Masonic emblem, consisting of square and compass, on the breast of the image. Coyle ought to be shut up in a room with tho Masonic goat. Charles Hcmmingor, of Great Neck, L. 1., did something the other day that was prole ably never done by anvliody else. He loaded a double-laurelled shotgun, and after ramming down the wad over tho charge filled tlie barrel* with water. He then placed the muzzle of the gun under his chin, pulled tlie bigger* with a string, and shot his head off. The unti-prohibitionists in his neighborhood are now charging tliat water • uum ikL<aMiu Cum. u liislv. Remarkable Immigration. On Thursday night a Parnellite called at tention in Parliament to the remarkable emigration from Ireland and asked the rea son of it. Col. King-Uannon, Parliamentary Under Secretary for Ireland, said the reason was the lack of employment and the disin clination of the people to join societies. The societies referred to are those which are hostile to the English government. The reasons given by the Under Secretary are not entirely true. There may be a lack of employment, but why? There was a time when Ireland contained twice as many peopie as at present, and they were better off than the people now. The truth is that English rule has destroyed Ireland's industries, and the grasping landlord system has • greatly reduced the producing power of the land. Without manufactories and with poor land it is not to be wondered at that the people are leav ing the country as fast as they can. There are those who cannot understand why there is such a constant demand for reduction of rents. The reason is tiiat tenants cannot make a living and pay even the rents that have been fixed by the judicial tribunals. For a long time crops have been taken from the land and little or nothing has lieen put ttpon it to fertilize it. The landlords have refused to provide fertilizers and ten ants havi not been able to do so. The con sequence is that the land, though naturally rich, is really very poor. The tenants, strive as they may, cannot respond to the demands "of the landlords. The emigration from Ire land is as great now as it was in 1549 and 1850, when famine forced the people to leave the country. Thousands are arriving at Castle Garden, New York, every week. Up to May 1 there had arrived in this country this year, of different nationalities, 133,177 immigrants. Thus was nearly 45,000 more than for the same time last year. A special effort is being made by Irishmen in this country to bring their relatives and friends here, and that is one of the reasons why the Irish immigration is so very much larger this year than Inst. It is estimated that hundreds of millions of dollars have lieen sent from Irishmen in this country to those dependent upon t hem in Ireland. The greutor part of this money has found its way into tat pockets of the landlords. Tliose who received it us<>d it to pay their rents and save their h'lmes. Irishmen here have, therefore, concluded that it is a much wiser plan to bring to this country those dependent upon them, w here they will soon be able to make a comfortable Bring for themselves. All this year money has been forwarded to Ireland, not to pay rents, but to meet the expenses of coining to this country. At the present rate of emigration it would not take many years to depopulate Ireland. That, however, will hardly be the solution of the Irish question. All Irishmen are not going to leave thoir native land, and the fight against England is bound to go on un til England concedes to the Irish people the management of their own affairs. Here and there in the press the feeling is cropping out that this country is receiving .too many immigrants, and the fear is ex pressed that they are coming in such num bers as to tlireuten to change the character of the American people. There is no occa sion for fear of that kind A well-known writer says that when danger of being swamped by too much immigration was suggested, to the late H|kry Ward Beecher he made light of it by saying: “When a lion east a lamb the lion does not turn into a lamb, but the lamb tiecomes a lion.’’ Ex-Secretary Manning's Views. Ex-Secretary Manning, at present in England, has recently expressed some views relative to political matters in this country. He keeps well informed about what is going on hero, and his remarks show that he is as clear headed, and as capable of forming a sound opinion relative to public affairs, as he ever to. He does not think that the President ever said that lie would not accept a renotnina tion if it were offered to him. He thinks it very probable that when he was harassed by public duties, and harshly criticised when lie had done tho liest he could, lie might have said tliat he wished he were rid of the Presidency and its cares, but that was no indication of his real purpose with re spect to a second term. Mr. Manning is extremely anxious tliat there shall lie harmony in the next national convention of tlie Democratic ’ pail}'. On this point he quoted what ho said to Gov. Hill last fall, when tlie New York leaders were canvassing their candidates for the va cancy in tho Court of Appeals. The quota tion is as follows: “\Y r e should have no fac tioual differences now which would devel op into marked division in the Presidential year. It will not do for the New York del egation to go up to the national convention divided u]Hin the subject of the renomiun tion of the President, and then have his nom ination crowded down our throats by outside delegations. The Southern and Western States are for Cleveland because they te ]ieve*that they can win with him. These States are not any too well inclined toward New York, and if our own delegation should go to the convention divided, they would make haste to show their desire for the renomination of the President in such a way as to force Now York into tlie line. The Slate would therefore lie in a much better [Kisition to accept his renomination ns a matter of course rather than to have it come from the outside seats.” Mr. Manning said that he still entertained these views. It seems, therefore, that he has no doubt about Mr. Cleveland's renomi nation. His suggestion that New York had better accept tho nomination without pro test than have it forced upon her by the South and West is a wise one. Prom present indications the two sections men tioned have decided to renominate Mr. Cleveland. It is probable that New York will offer no objection, although tho New York World , in which journal tho Man ning interview appealed, seem'- to think differently, The Houston Host says: “Tho Savannah Mornino Newh is authority for the rumor that Mr. Joseph Pulitzer will establish a branch of the New York World at some point in Texas, probably at Galveston or Houston. Some people will lie mean enough to suggest that then* is a good opening at either place.” Opening! Why, of course. Mr. Pulitzer may find anopeningany where in the country into which to |k>iu*JjUmoney, j Col. Fred Grant is devoting all his time to tlie compilation of his fathers pu|>ers and ]mbllc document*. Gov. Hill, of New York, lms nominated him for Quarantine Commis sioner, hut the Republicans in tho New York Legislature will probably reject him because a Democrat nominated him. Mr. Gladstone announces tliat he cannot visit tho United State*. Then he will never know what a genuine ovation is. THE MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY, MAY 21, M, Tr.e Georgia Imflr.uary. The movement to enlarge and improve the Georgia Infirmary, and make it a first class hospital, is a good one. The Indies who are directing it are entitled to hearty encouragement anti generous support. The Infirmary is the only institution in the city to which colored people who are suffering from diseases of any kind, or from injuries, and who cannot be treated properly at home, can be sent. As they comprise a very large portion of the population of the city, and as there ore comparatively few of them who are so situated that they can have the care and medical attention they ought to have when sick, the hospital set apart for them should uot only be well equipped with everything needed in an institution of that kind, but should be made so attractive that they would have no objection to going there. It seems that man}- of them have a strong prejudice against the place now. That is due, doubtless. to a feeling that they will not lie as well canal for there as at their homes, although homes may be pro vided with scarcely any of the accommoda tions that are ne:*ded by sick people. Of course considerable money will be re quired to carry out the plans which the ladies have in view, but it is probable that their appeals for aid will be responded to promptly and generously The people of Savannah have never been slow to respond to the calls of charity. When the colored people lost their homes in the Ya mac run fire several thousand dollars were quickly raised for them. Indeed, more was con tributed than was really needed. The colored people themselves might do something for the hospital. As they are the ones who are to be benefited they ought to be willing to contribute something towards it. They spend many thousands of dollars in the course of a year for quack medicines of one sort and another. They could not do a wiser thing than help build up an institu tion where they can receive proper medical treatment when they need it. There are excellent hospitals in the city for white people and there should be at least one good one for colored people. The ladies who have the matter in charge are thoroughly in earnest, and if there efforts meet with the recpgnition they have a right to expect the Infirmary will become an honor to the city. Mr. Garland and the Vacancy. In the discussion that is going on in the public prints respecting the candidates for the vacancy in the Supreme Court at Wash ington it is noticeable that the prevailing impression is that Attorney General Gar land will be the successful one. It is also noticeable that his appointment would be very harshly criticised by Democratic as well as Republican papers. It is pretty evident that the President has not lost confidence in Mr. Garland on ac count of his connection with the Pan-Elec tric telephone business. It is also evident that Mr. Garland wants to lie a member of the Supreme Court. The President, under these circumstances, may determine to ap point him, although knowing that the ap pointment would be an unpopular one. It is said that the Supreme Court Justices are very much concerned about the selec tion of a Justice. They not Only want an able man for an associate, but. they want one who will be in all respects agreeable Jo them. Of course they will not be consulted. If they should be, it is said that they would not favor Mr. (tarland. This may,be unjust to the Attorney General, but it is ihe goFqp of Washington. The Justices have hot shown any hostility to him, but they do not, it seems, have as high an opinion of his legal acquirements as they had when lie was appointed to his present office. His argu ments before the court have not, it is alleged, been of a character to sustain tho reputation he hail of being a great lawyer. There is no doubt that Mr. Garland would lie confirmed if he were appointed. The Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Commit tee, Mr. Edmunds, is his warm personal friend, and as the nomination must go to that committee for a report, there is no rea son to doubt that it would be reported fa vorably. 11l fact, about all the Senators re gard the Attorney General with kindly feel ings, nnd though some of them may think he was indiscreet in having anything to do with the Pan-Electric telephone, it is doubt ful if any of them believe that he was guilty of any intentional wrong doing. The Baltimore Herald is of the opinion that “revivalism” does not pay. It says that when Sam Jones and Sam Small were in Baltimore last year their services were attended by great throngs and many persons were converted. It is expected that Sam Jones will soon revisit the city, and con servative ministers of religion express the opinion that lie will find most of liis con verts traveling the wrong road. Experi ence seems to prove that the money spent on “revivalism” would cause more satisfac tory and lasting results if expended in sup porting regular church services. The Philadelphia Record has this: “If Henry George had ever felled trees, pulled the stumps and grubbed out tho roots on an acre of ‘new ground’ he would have an in finitely clearer view' of the land question than he can evolve out of his inner con sciousness.” Of course, but Henry prefers to “talk and talk” nnd take up a collection when he gets through. A rumor is current in New York tliat Mr. G. W. Williams, of Charleston, has deter mined to pay nil the debts of Williams, Bir ney & Cos., a firm which failed in New York in 1ST! 1 . The indebtedness of the firm is aliout $3,500,000. Mr. Williuins is an honest niun, and his proposed payment of Williams, llimey & Co.'s debts is commendable, but he ought to call on Birney for assistance. A Washington correspondent hints, that the British holders of Virginia bonds will demand payment of the United Stab*. The same correspondent intimates that. Mi. Blaine favors the scheme. These are things it will lie well for the people oi the "wintry to remember. - - Mi l'he Sun Francisco Alta wants to know what is the initiation fee in the McGlynn- Gcorge Anti-Poverty Society. It dqiends upon circumstances. The society will tuke all it can get in fees, great or small, and never fails to send around the collection hat besides. The Galveston, (Tex.) bar wants Judge A. H. Willie t<> fill the vacant position on the bench of tho United States Supreme Court. It is a pity to disappoint the Galveston liar, but a Georgian will lie appoint**!, and then th ) court will sing: “Oh, Willie, we have missed thee.” A New Orleans man whose enemy kicked li in across the stmt into n molasses barrel o irefuliv extricated himself, licked his lips and cheerfully remarked: “Bwoet are the usew of adversity.” CURRENT COMMENT. Which Eye is Meant. From the Missouri Rejmblican 1 Dent.) The New York Herald reports that Mr. Theo dore Roosevelt has "an eye on the Presidency.” The country will never lie satisfied until it learns further whether it is the one he screws his eye glass in. It is Unequally Distributed Every where. From York World (Dun.) The recent evictions in Pennsylvania make it probable that our high protective tariff is cither too high or too low. The protection enjoyed by Peansylvania seems to be very unequally dis tributed. since a small percentage of the people get about all of it. McGlynn and George. From the Nashville Vnion (Dem .) The printelmovers in the Anti-Poverty Society, Dr. McGlynn and Henry George, are commenc ing early to practice what they preach. A col lection is an invariable featur- < f their lectures: they live in good style, and are p tting fat. The softest berth known Is that ol die sharp trick ster who preys on the credulity of his fellow men. McGlynn and George are’ getting out of the woods of pwyerty at railroad speed. Why Not? From the: Boston Herald (Did.) On the whole, why would it not !s> bettor for the United States aiid Canada to unite and be come me country Thar would give reciprocity of trade and settle the fishery disputes and re move all the official barriers which separate a homogeneous people. Under our system each Canadian province erected into a State would enjoy local self-government, and the flag of the free would wave over all. Why not? BRIGHT BITS.

From Washington Letter to the Baltimore American. The escapades of the young scions of the for eign legations here would term interesting and readable chapters if written out a-s related about ! them. There is one thing that can be said to the credit of these young bloods, and that is. they don’t ever charge their little misdoings to ‘malaria,’' as many of the statesmen do. They frankly admit that. Washington beer and whisky get the better of them, and causes their blood to I get livelier than their own native drinks would do. Washington people have got used to the pranks of the youngsters and let them go ahead unmolested, unless they should come across some hard-fisted American who gets upon his • ear” at some affront, and the boys get a tum ble. The boys, however, take t is- tumble with out a murmur, and should they show up a black eye, a post ov nn accident answers as a blind to stop the girls from, being over-in quisitive as to the cause. About 2 o’clock this morning a number of the voung men connected with the Portuguese and British legations felt like they ought to do something funny, very funny, that they might talk about to the boys, you know. Young Nogueiras and his British friend per suaded a night-liner to rent out his hack at that hour of the morning to them for a little fun. The conditions were that, the “Jehu” was to sit in state in the hack and Nogueiras and his friends were to mount the horses, while the third man of the legation party was to occupy the driver’s box. It took some talk to get tne •‘cabbie" to consent, and it was only after a guarantee was made that all damage to horse flesh and the hack would be paid for. The party took their positions, and with a war whoop the equipage started from Seventh street and Penn sylvania avenue, down Pennsylvania and return, then down Seventh street, and in the aristo cratic part of the city. Policemen stopped them, but they could do nothing Jwith the frolicsome youths: they were "legation” men, you know, and they wanted to have fun, and they did have it : but the risks they ran startled many sober sided people who saw them. The "cabbie" en joyed tne fun, as he impersonated "royalty", and got well laid for it. Mr. Evarts Got a Reply. From the American Magazine for Mag. A correspondent who has been reading the anecdotes about Senators in our last number was an eye-witness of the follow ing occurence: At New York city, in the fall of ISS—, a iause was tried before Judge Sutherland, in which the law firm of Evarts. Southmayd & Choate appeared for the defense. Mr. Evarts made the concluding argument, and the fame of the great counseler secured for him a considerable audience of lawyers from neighboring courts, in addition to many persons who had more or less interest in the'proceedings. Mr. Evarts had been speaking for some hours and was evidently nearing his peroration. He began to sum up his arguments and asked im pressively whet answer could be made to them. Again he placed the points in lucid array, and again asked a similar question. Then a third time he restated his cnj with vivid eloquence, and once more, in louder tones, wound up with: "What is their answer?” He paused. You could have heard a pin drop. Suddenly the door of the court room opened, and a peddler, sticking his head and a feather duster into the opening, cried out: “Brooms!" In a moment the room was ringing with un controlablr laughter, in which everybody joined —even the Judge on the bench and the orator himself. Mr. Evarts, however, kept on his feet, and was the first to recover composure. With his hand raised to command attention, as the roar subsided, he said, solemnly: "That was not, indeed, the reply which I ex pected. But you may rest assured that when you do get their answer you will find it equally frivolous and inconsequent.” It Stopped Their Boom. From the Dakota Bell. “Having a boom here?” asked a stranger as he put his head out of a car window at a Dakota station. "Naw!” replied a native. “That’s strange—thought every place had one this spring.” “They lie, mostly,” and the man sighed and leaned up against the depot. "Then why isn't this tow n having one?” “W'y, you sec, stranger, it was owin’ to a little mismanagement. We platted a big Brighton Beach boulevard addition over on the lake j’inin’ the town, and you know the land there is just a little bit soft like. Well, the first spectator that come along the boys got too fast and took him down to it. and he started to walk off across the lots and I'm blamed if he didn't stick there and we couldn't git to him to pull him out.” "How long ago did it happen? ’ “’Bout two weeks." “He must be dead, then?” “Oh, ves, I reckon he's dead nil right enough but before he sunk out o’ sight he hollered to other buyers that we took down and warned them ‘bout the place and somehow- capitalists kinder got prejudiced ag’in' our real estate and we haint havin' no boom a-tall.

The dancing master calls dance, the pianist strikes up n lively tune, and the cadets revolve and gyrate in couples about the room. They can hardly fail to become good dancers when all enter into the spirit of it with so much heartiness. The dancing master is the jolliest of short, tat Frenchmen. “Attention, cavaliers I" he calls. “In ze valtz ze right foot es advance, so; zen ze left, and ze right brought up, so! Now—.me, two. tree; one, two tree!” and ho sways his body and half closes his eyes as he chants the numbers, while the whole roomful of boys moves as he directs. Suddenly he sees a cadet leaning against the wall, and he darts across the room to mm. “Ah, monsieur, vy do you not dance?” “Can't get the step,” is the reply. “Oh, et is verry easy! I vill get you a part ner.” And away he goes to another, who also has difficulty wit h the step, and. panting and red ir. the face, brings him to the scene. "Now. Mees Fisher, allow me to introduce Monsieur John son; now you will dance.” And “Johnson and ‘Mees’ Fisher" bow. and redden at the laughter around them, and then try again. Gone After Him. . From the Dakota Hell. A stranger was riding in Fall River county. Dak., when he met a small boy returning from school in the forenoon. ‘What are you going home for this time of day?” he asked. “No school to-day,” “Why not?” “Teacher went ’way on bns’ness.” “What kind of business?” “Oh. he's gone with the other boys.’* “What after?” “Ye know Doc Thompson?” "No.” “Alec Fiddler?" “Never heard of him.” “Well, they was boss thieves and the bovs lynched ’em on a cottonwood tree at the Cheyenne crosssng, ye know.’’ “All, yes, I see; and now yotir teacher has gone with the rest of the committee to get the lienee of the gang.” “Naw, they're after the man what cut down the tree. The pop’lnr feelin’ in this country, stranger, is ag'u choppiii’ down trees what have lied the distinction ol holdin' up a citizen by the neck.” The New Baby. What strange little man can this be, So weird and so wizened and wise? What mystical things has he seen With those wide-opened, wondering eyes? What treasures untold, from what lands Do his soft baby-fingers enfold? Wbnt word does lie bring from afar, The stranger so young yet so old! Does he bring us some message from spheres Unheard of, from words we know not, Starry countries we dwell in mayhap, As babies, and now have forgot? Who can tell what he knows, what he thinks? He says not a word but he looks. In a minute, more wisdom, I’ll swear, Thau shut in the biggest of books. Slary Norton Bradford. Mr. Powderly as a Cowboy. From the Denver News.

About the latest is a glass-bottomed boat, used, according to a correspondent of the Inter- Ocean, to gaze down tipon the beauties of the bottom of the sea at Nassau. A Chinaman recently sent the following tele gram to a Pacific coast railway odlcial: "I ship pee you two car load hog. No eatchee pass. Wbattee matter. Ah Fook." Greenfield, Mass., having voted not to grant liquor licenses, its thirsty citizens are now culti vating a taste for hard eide?\ which is said to be “literally flowing into town." A New Orleans banker, who was fond of using Latin to enrieh his conversation, was asked one evening by a young lady in a hotel, where he hail been. “On! just outside in the cupsadore, walking pro and con,” he replied. Excessive hope jumping has already begun to send the little ones prematurely to their graves. The death of a girl in Pittsburg last week was ascribed to it. and also is the pre carious condition of another child in the same city. An advertisement in the shape of what seemed to be barrels filled with Treasiu-y notes in the window of a Providence, R. 1., store, at tracted the attention of a thief, who broke the windows, captured and got away with two Si-0 notes. A curious incident in police court annals oc curred in Chicago. A policeman arrested his own son among some small boys who were caught playing pool at night, and bailed him out after a little conference in the family resi dence. Josiah Whitney, a very active citizen of Nukomis, 111., has just celebrated his 91st birth day. The entire Whitney family assembled on that occasion and gave the venerable head of the house a birthday cake of ninety-one layers, each child, grandchild and great-grandchild con tributing a layer. Another miser has passed away. He lived in a town near Denver, Col., and, as Is not gen erally the case, left a will iiequeathir.g his entire fortune. The latter can't lie found, however, and the heirs are busily engaged night and day in ransacking his late home in hopes of recover ing it,.estimated at between $25,000 and $50.(100. The possibility of Gen. Gordon still being alive is still discussed occasionally in London. The Academy lately gave space to a letter from Trieste, reporting the testimony of a youth to the effect that it was a Turkish soldier who re sembled Gen. Gordon that was lulled. As to where Gen. Gordon, if 1 alive, has been all this time nothing is said. An English lady has hit upon a novel mode of obtaining jubilee subscriptions. She asked her laundress to contribute. The woman said that she had a large family and could not, so the lady informed her that a trifle would be deducted each week from the washing bill, and that if she were not prepared to agree to this the Washing would be taken from her. From the roofs of houses and other command ing eminences people in Burlington.Vt..watched through field-glasses last Friday a groat com motion on Lake Champlain, about four miles from there. Some say it was a squall and water spout, others some kind of a large fish, while one old captain stoutly maintains that it was only a flock of geese. Two Boston boys ran away from home last week, carrying with them a large sum of money and a couple of ferocious-looking revolvers. They got as far as New York when a couple of other lads took their pistols and money from them. Without further desire to look for beam or Indians they were then in meek mood anxious to get back home. Police officers took charge of them. The Queen Regent of Spain is a most ener getic and skilled needlewoman, and, as her even ings are exempt from state ceremonies during her deep mourning, Dona Christina spends most of her spare time in embroidery. She has just finished a magnificent flag for anew ironclad named after her, the Reiua Itegente, the stand ard being over eleven yards long and six and a half wide. Says an advertisement in a medical journal: “Skeletons have ruled firm and active through out the year, with prices unchanged. We have been able to supply the demand for the common varieties promptly, but the finer grades were scarce, and orders for deformities could uot always be filled at once. In this regard the market is still unchanged, although our broker in Paris has orders to buy everything offered at the usual rates.” Royal yachts cost high in England. The original cost of the Victoria and Albert was about £136,000, and she has since had spent on her over £300,000. The Osborne’s original cost was about £100,000,a ml she has had about £112,- 000 expended on her. The Alberta's original cost was £27,000, with a subsequent expenditure of £68.000. The Elfin’s original cost was £6.000, the subsequent ex[ienditure being over £40,000. Besides these interesting items the annual pay of the officers and crews of the royal yachts is close upon £50,000! Someone has thus figured on the ingredients of a ton of coal. Besides gas, a ton of gas coal will yield 1.500 pounds of coke. 20 gallons of ammonia water and 140 pounds of coal tar. De structive distillation of the coal tar gives 69.6 pounds of pitch. 17 pounds of creosote, 14 pounds of heavy oils, 9.5 pounds of naphtha yel low, 8.3 pounds of naphthaline, 4.75 pounds of naphthol, 2.25 pounds of alizarine, 2.4 pounds of solvent naphtha, 1.6 pounds of phenol, 1.2 pounds of aurine, 1.1 pounds of analine, 0.77 pound of toludine, 0.46 pound of anthracino and 0.9 pound of toluene. Some remarkable work has been done in the way of preparing type-writer copies of the tes timony at the Standard Oil conspiracy trial now going on before Judge Haight, at Buffalo, N. Y. Over 700 pages of evidence have been tnkpn during the week, which means 140,000 words. Four type writer copies are made for the attorneys engaged in the case, and when court opens each dav the testimony of the pre ceding day is always ready for their use. Hat urday even better work was done, and when court convened at 2 o’clock, the printed evi dence of the case up to adjournment at 12:30, an hour and a half before, was lying on the law’yers’ table, “Barry Cornwall,” in his autobiography, re lates the following of the author of “The Pleasures of Hope:” “Campbell had mentioned that some pigeons w hich frequented his house deserted the place soon after his wife fell ill and have never since returned. On the day of her death, in the place of the pigeons which had flown away, and which were a blue or gray or some such color, came two pigeons perfectly milk w hite and settled on her ttedroom window. After remaining there some time—much longer titan is usual with birds where there arc persons moving to aud fro Hi a room—they also flew off. She expressed n wish that they should return. ’But atthmtgfr Tcannot have them, I have you,' she sail!, turning to her husband. In a minute or two afterward she died." The French are discussing a question in Lon don. A Frenchman in London, from the fre quent pawning of his watch, learned that pawnbrokers test the watch by touching an acid to the knob. He inherited 15,0tX) francs, and immediately went to Geneva, where he ordered 2*Xt watches, the cases of copper (heavily gilt) and tbe knobs of pure go and They cost him 40 francs each. He went to Lond n. and in a few 'lays pawned the 200 watches. The pawnbrokers tested the knobs, and advanced him 70 francs on each, a gain of over 80 francs on the cost. Then lie walked about the streets and dropped the pawn tickets here and there, and the persons who found them, ail lining dishonest, went next day und redeemed the watches. Thus the tjnwn brokers lost nothing, and the dishonest finders of the tickets paid 70 franc* for 10 franc w-atehes. As only the dishonest persons who found the tickets were victimized, the French moralists an l uncertain whether to condemn the shrewd operator as a swindler. Writino of the statesman who Is commonly looked tipou as the successor to-lie of M. de Giersin the Russian Foreign Office, a correg pont of Figaro, Paris, remarks that his sixty years sit lightly on Count Ignatieff. Tall, pow erfully built. he is physically not inferior to Prince Bismarck. He wears his hair in a pecu liar way, the parting being just above his left <vr and the hair nil brushed ucross the bead to ward tbe l ight side. His moustache is short and thin an 1 bangs down on both sides of his mouth Notwithstanding his recent illness he appears full of strength ami energy. The Count does not love i’rincc Ricmarck and gives the fol lowing account of (he present schemes of tbe German Chancellor with regard to France: "Ills only object is to make other nations suspicious o! France, since he can no longer plunge her into some adventures iu which she would 10. e tn r military security. He will do anyth ng to compromise her. He will held Belgl in, up he;, .re her r.ud preserve Holland for her If the French government will warrant him the peace tul posscHsisn of Alsace-Lorraine, and if bv a mischance you east an eye toward Belgium', if only to laugh at the proposition, he will at once say to Europe: ‘ljOok at this.
