Special attention will be given to make this summer service satisfactory and to forward papers by the most direct and quickest routes. On June 38, Prof. H. B. McCreary, of the Utica (N. Y.) Business College, committed suicide. His mind was unsettled by the death of his wife. His old pupils in Geor gia will regret to learn of his sad end. The statement is made that there are more than 65,000 widows in the Rtate of Massa chusetts, of whom half are less than 40 years of age. What a terrible time the senior W T eller would have if he were living in the Bay State! The Hartford Post thinks that the Repub lican National Convention should l>o held early next year, for the reason that the party “has a’large undertaking on hand.” Yes, an undertaking much larger than it can successfully manage. Having retired from the warpath, the Indians in tl>e West are swarmiug about the trading posts in search of more ammu nition. If they get what they want it is more than probable that they will trot up and down the warpath again. One of the old laws still in existence in Washington providos that a “babbling woman” may be ducked in the Potomac. No doubt the reason why the law is not now en forced is because the babbling in Washing ton is done by men—Congressmen. It is believed in government circles at Washington that the alleged troubles in the Hawaiian Islands have been greatly exag gerated. Nevertheless, there is a good deal of smoke blowing from the direction of Kalakaua's kingdom, and there must lie some fire in that neighborhood. The mania for speculation, which seems to have seized the business men of Chicago, has also laid hold upon the boys. Robert G. Lydston, aged 17 years, shot himself through the heart, producing instant death, in that city, the other day, lieoause he bail lost in speculation funds belonging to his employers. His career as a speculator was a short one. Edmond Doherty, who registered at the Palmer House, Chicago, the other day, told the reporters that in future, as Edmond Dantes, the second Count of Monte Cristo, it would be his mission to stamp out public thieves, monoisdies, crooked detectives, nnd all other evils of the human flesh. Edmond has undertaken a work which much larger and more influential men have foiled to accomplish. Senator Vest, of Missouri, who is some what blind in his eyes, but not at all so in his mind, says: “As to the Confederate flags, I am in favor of presenting them to Sher man. Foraker and Fairchild to cover their nakedness of progressive ideas in statesman ship.' The rents and bullet-holes in the flags should be patched first; otherwise the three bloodthirsty heroes' lac k of statesman ship might still be seem. The captured flags episode lias caused a trow in church. In the Presbyterian church at Rockford, 111., on Hunday last the pastor, Rev. S. L. Condee, argued in his sermon that the flags shonld be returned to their former owners. He was interrupted by IVil liam Marshall, a lawyer, who urgued against their return. The services ended amid eon lidorable excitement. The influence of the Conquered banner is far-reaching. News conies from San Fruneisro that Mi's. Langtry has taken a house in that city with the expressed intention of making it her legal residence. She has renounced her sllegance to Great Britain, uiul will bei-omo a citizen of the United Htates. Hor attor ney, Gen. Barnes, says that after the lapse of six months she will begin proceedings to obtain a divorce from her husband. It is likely that Mrs, Long try will yet become Mis. Gabbard. The South’s Industrial Enterprises. The Manufacturers' Record , of Balti more, and the Tradesman, of Chattanooga, kwp the country pretty well informed respecting the number of new industrial enterprises that are projected in the South. The re)x>rted number of these enterprises is so groat, and the amount invested is so largo that the question, whether the figures of these authorities are not a little mislead ing, is suggest’d. The wish is, of course, that they are correct, and doubtless the two trade journals referred to strive to get the facts as near as they can. According to the Manufacturers' Record during the six months of this year there have been inVbstcd in industrial enterprises of one kind and another, in the Southern States, 6161,192,000, while for the same pe riod of last year the amount was only 603,- 018,000. These figures show that the South ern States have been on ft regular boom since the beginning of tips year. Of the amount invested Alabama and Tennessee got nearly $50,000,000, Alabama’s share being 632,081,000 and Tennessee’s 620,- 255,000. Georgia appears to have fared pretty well, her share being 69,257,000. Florida got 6805,000, and South Carolina 61,000,000. It would be interesting to know how large a percentage of the projected enter prises fails to materialize, as it wore. It is a very easy thing to organize companies with big capital stocks, but companies of this sort do not show exactly what is being done. Now, if the trado journals in ques tion could give us each month the actual number of industrial enterprises that hus been put into operation, and the number that has ceased to exist, wo should have something upon which to base an opinion as to the progress the South is really making. It cannot lie denied that there is a mar velous development in all the Southern States, and that the future looks very prom ising for industrial interests. A statement of new and projected enterprises, however, without showing how many of these enter prises are never established, and liow many of those established go out of existence, is not entirely satisfactory. Take, for instance, the single item of cot ton compresses. The Manufact urers' Record says that twenty-six have been erected since Jan. 1 last. It w'ill not bo questioned that before these compresses were built there were'more than were needed. New Orleans has not used all of her compresses for years, and there are compresses in this city that are always idle. Indeed, one of them has lately been sold to be removed to the in terior. If twenty-six new compresses have been built, twenty-six of the old ones will be idle during the whole, or a part, of the coming season. There will be no such in crease in the cotton crop as to need ad ditional compresses. Attention might be drawn to other items, but this one is suffi cient to indicate that, to got at the actual industrial progress of the South, a state ment, a little different from that furnished by trade journals, respecting industrial en terprises, is needed. Wall Street’s Flurry Explained. It has Anally leaked out that Jay Gould was the cause of the recent flurry in Wall street. The story is that Cyrus Field held 80,000 shanw of Manhattan railroad stock, a part of which Mr. Gould wanted, and he wanted it at a much lower price than it was quoted at on the market. The way ho pro ceeded to get it shows what a very sharp business man he is. It seems that Mr. Field held much of his stock on margins. Of course if the market dropped off to any con siderable extent lie would have to make his margins good, and to do that he would require a largo sum of money. It is well known that money has been scarce in New York for several weeks, and on several occasions has commanded a very high rate of interest. Mr. Gould had loaned out on call between 615,000,000 and 67,000,000. A day or two before the flurry he began call ing in his loans. This caused a stringency. When he had about all of his available cash under his control the raid on Manhattan stock was begun. The stock dropped rapidly, and Mr. Field was unable to get money to make good his margins. Rather than lose his stock he sold 50,000 share to Mr. Gould at about the price Mr. Gould was willing to pay for it. This is the story of the flurry as told in WoU threat. It may not be wholly true. It is certain, however, that Mr. Gould has 50,000 shares of tho Manhattan stock which Mr. Field held just before the flurry. Mr. Gould and Mr. Field claim to be very good friends, however. Perhaps they re gard everything as fair in Wall street gainblfng. In that case Mr. Field will watch for an opportunity to get tho better of Mr. Gould in future transactions. The chances are ho will have to watch a long while. Mr. Gould claims to bo afflicted with insomnia. He is afflicted with some thing which prevents other Wall street operators from catching him napping. He is wide-awake about all the time. A funny incident occurred in a theatre at Kansas City, Mo., the other night. During tho performance of a border drama Capt. Jack Crawford, the noted poet-scout, who was in a box, became greatly excited. Leap ing on tho stage ho struck two counterfeit Indiana heavy blows in the face, knocking them headlong, blackening nn eye of one and cutting open the lip of tho other. Capt. Crawford excused himself upon the ground that lie could not lioar to see his old-time friend, Wild Bill, pressed hard by Indians, even on the stage. The counterfeit Indians, no doubt, will demand higher salaries, or in sist that a squad of poliee shall bo detailed to protect thorn the next time Capt. Craw ford is in the audience. The latest gossip about Senator Colquitt's chances for succeeding Secretary Lamar should tho latter bo appointed to tho bench of tho United States Supreme Court, is to this effect: Senator Colquitt, say his ad mirers in Washington, hus been strongly identified with the temperance movement in Georgia, and it will do the President no harm in tho South to take him into the Cabinet. On tho other hand, some who aro not so friendly to the Senator, say that to take a man of liis temperance proclivities into the Cabinet will injure tho Democratic party in tho Northern States. In tho mean time the President stnilts and says nothing. The meanest man has been found in New York. He is a physician named Ball, and .lie insisted that a servant girl in his employ ment should lie removed tram his house, al though she was dying with scarlet fever. The Board of Health refused to allow her to be removed. St. Louis appears to have a nice police force. It has been proved that some of the officers accepted money to protect lottery dealers and gamblers. What makes the matter worse is that the officers in question were specially employed to suppress gaib biing. THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY. JULY 1, 1887. Dr. McGlynn’s Forty Days. The forty days within which Dr. Mc- Glynn was ordered to appear in Rome will expire on July 2. He cannot now reach Rome by that date, and will of course be excommunicated. It is probable that he never moant to oboy the summons to Rome. When he first took the position of hostility to the church of which he has been a priest so long, the probabilities are that he intend ed to maintain it and take the consequences. His failure to appear at Rome will lie his announcement that he has ceased to lie a priest, and doubtless a letter will be pub lished at the proper time by the 1 ’ope stab ing that Dr. McGlynn is unde the Ism of the church. He will then no longer have the right to wear his priestly rolies, nor to perform any of the duties of a priest. The church will have nothing further to do with him and will not in any way be responsible for his words or his acts. , It would probably lie a mistake to sup pose that Dr. McGlynn will leave the church without regret and with a feeling of indiffer ence. He is a man of strong character and marked ability. It may be that he is strongly attached to the church, and there is no doubt that at one time he was not only deeply interested in his church work but had high hopes of rapid advancement to an exalted position. Indeed it has been sur mised that one of tho reasons which led him into his present course was his failure to have his ambition satisfied. He felt that he had been overlooked, and that less capable men had been chosen for the places of honor which he desired. There is much speculation as to what his career will be after his relations with the church are severed. Some of his old parish ioners will doubtless sympathize with him, but as a general thing members of the Ro man Catholic church will not regard him with favor. His connection with Henry George will of course continue, and if he proves himself to be as able as a politician as he has been as a priest he may achieve distinction in local politics. The distinction will be of short duration, however, if he clings to Henry George’s land theory. If his present disposition undergoes no change it wouldn’t be surprising if in the course of a year or two he became an avowed An archist. The Egyptian Convention. There is not much reason to expect trouble in Europe whether the Porte signs tho Egyptian convention or not. The protest of Russia and Franco against tho signing of it was by no means as vigorous as it was first represented to bo. It is now believed that it will be signed, though it may be modified in some comparatively unimpor tant respects. England’s desire for the con vention does not appear to be unreasonable. She now occupies Egypt and virtually governs it. Her claim to do so rests upon her alleged desire to protect the Suez canal, of which she is the principal owner. Bytho convention she proposes to retire from Egypt at the end of three years, provided the right to reoceupy the country if her in terests there require her to do so is granted her. France and Russia object because they don’t want England to have a foothold in the country with the sanction of Turkey. What will be the result if the Porte, when July 4 comes, refuses to sign the conven tion? Why, England will simply maintain the position she now occupies. Neither France nor Russia will be benefited, and it is not improbable that England will gain more if tho convention is not signed than if it is. The aim of England in proposing the con vention was perhaps two fold. She wanted to gain the good will of Turkey by letting her manage Egypt to suit herself provided England’s interests were not harmed, and she wanted to get rid of the expense of maintaining an army there. If she had other objects they do not appear on the sur face. She probably is not very anxious, however, to get out of Egypt. If the con vention is not signed on account of the op position to it of France and Russia she will be in a position to say to them, if tho time comes when they want her to get out of the country that they opposed her when she wanted to retire and now she will retire when it suits her to do so. Whatever the determination of the Porte may be about signing tho convention, however, it is pretty safe to predict that there will bo no war. The eviction of the striking tenants of the Pennsylvania Stilt Company's works at Natrona, tho other day, was de cidedly lively. A sheriff, with twenty-two deputies find a squad of eight polieenvHi, went first to the house of Jacob Sowsisko, a Pole. Fifteen of the deputies gained admis sion and began carrying out the furniture. In the meantime a crowd of men, women and children, numbering at least 200, and headed by a brass band, ar rived upon the scene. Several large flags were carried in the procession. A hearty cheer was given, flags were waved in the faces of tho deputies, and a good deal of chaff was indulged in. Two of the deputies had red pepper thrown in their eyes. John Richey, chief clerk of the com pany, who was present during the eviction, also had red pepper throwm in his eyes. The tenants were put out, however, and their goods were left in the streets. The English craze over Buffalo Bill, says the New York Tribune, flnds one of its manifestations in photographs made for sale in London. One that is quite popular pic tures a group at tho entrance of the Ameri can Exhibition. Mr. Gladstone and his wife ore the central figures, but next in prominence are the members of Buffalo Bill's cowboy band, whose huge sombreros and brass horns carried under their arms make them really tho striking features of the photograph. Photographs of the Prince of Wales on the box of the Dead wood coach are also exhibited and sold. Editor A. K. Cutting's Mexican prison has again been occupied by citizens of the United States. It seems that under the management of A. B. Bird, an opera com pany mode a tour of Mexico last winter. While singing in Del Norte, the entire com pany was arrested on a flimsy pretext and thrown into the same prison in which Editor Cutting was confined. Six members of the company died of small-pox, and all suffered privntions and sickness. Tho matter lias been placed in the hands of tho proper au thorities. If the story is true, Mexico ought to bo made to smart. At Omaha, the other day, Georgo N. Crawford, a witness before the Pacific Rail way Commission, testified that he had been employed during several sessions of the Legislature at Lincoln, Neb., as a lobbyist. His duties, bo said, consisted of anything that ho could think of which would en lighten members of tho Legislature. Con sidering that many members of Legisla tures need enlightenment, the people of the oountry might find it profitable to employ Cruwfonl os u sort of general lobbyist. CURRENT COMMENT.

Fom the New York World (Dcm.) Gen. 11. V. Boynton is now writing heating descriptions of the great battles of the war, in order to show the sacrifices that were made in capturing the Confederate flags now in Wash ington. This affords an opportunity for fero ciously fine writing, and, so far as Boynton is concerned, the war seems to be booming at about the old pitch, and the thermometer 90° in the shade. Boynton ought to have an extra pension for this. BRIGHT BITS. Herr Most says “the Anarchist will yet make his mark.” Certainly, when he rubs up against anything.— Texas Siftings.

GREEN CLAY SMITH. How Ho Got Even With a Wash ington Hotel Man. From the Danville Advocate. The last and perhaps the only whisky transac tion Oen. Gi een Clay Smith ever had in his life time came about in this way: Just before, or about the close of the war, Gen. Smith wa3 in Washington City, Engaging a suite of rooms at one of the fashionable hotels he had sent to his rooms ten gallons of fine “Old ('row'’ whisky that had been sent to him by some friends in Kentucky. The keg was soon exhausted by the Generals friends, save a I Kittle or two which he reserved in case of sickness or snake bite. When the General went to settle his bi'J the account presented to hint ran thus: To suite of rooms ono week $1,200 To corkage forty bottles, a t $1 40 Total $1,240 Gen. Smith glanced at the bill and said to the hotel man: “Twelve hundred dollars is an ex orbitant price for the rooms, hut I will pay it. The item for corkage I will not pay, as you had nothing whatever to do with the whisky sent to my room, and have no right to charge corkage on it." With a stroke of his pen the hotel man canceled the corkage item. Gen. Smith drew his check for $1,200, and the receipted bill was handed him. Upon the eve of leaving the city for Kentucky Gen. Smith presented the hotel man with a bottle of whisky, saying: “Here, I want you to taste the whisky you wanted to charge me corkage on." The hotel man sampled it, and pronounced it the best whisky he had ever tasted, at the same time requesting Gen. Smith, if possible, to pur chase at least five barrels of whisky for him as soon as he got to Kentucky. Gen. Smith agreed to accommodate him, and bidding him good-by, came to Kentucky. In a few days (fen. Smith went to a wholesale whisky dealer in Covington, where he found the whisky wanted. “What can you sell me five barrels of whisky for?” asked Gen. Smith. “Three dollars per gallon,” replied the dealer. "All right," said Smith, “here is a check for your money. You ship this whisky to Mr. , Washington city, and bill it to him at $lO per gallop.” The whisky was shipped, Gen. Smith writing the hotel man that he would be in the city in a few days to collect the bill ip person. In due time he arrived in the Capital City and called on the hotel man to col lect his bill. The hotel man met Mr. Smith with a laugh, and said: “Well, General, I guess we are about even, as you have made more than enough on that whisky to get back your hotel bill; but I have made a good thing out of the whisky, any how. Come, now, it’s my treat, and I’ll show you how I have made money anti advertised you at the same time.” As soon as the two entered the saloon the first thing pointed out to Gen. Smith was several posters hanging over the counter, upon which, in rich gold letters, was the following: “Gen. Green Clay Smith s Old Crow Kentucky Bourbon Whisky! Guaranteed to be twenty-five years old! Only K>c. a drink.” "Well well,” said the General, “I have made $1,400 profit on the whisky, which I intended as an offset to your exorbitant board bill. You take these posters down at once and we'll call it square, and I'll quit the whisky trade.” And, true to his word, he has not since bought, sold or drank a drop. A RAVENOUS EAGLE. Terrible Fight Between An Eagle and Buzzard In Mid Air. A writer in the Dublin Gazette says: On May 81 saw a fight between an eagle and a buzzard. I was walking beside the swamp, about two miles below my plantation, when I heard a roar ing sound like that made by a train in rapid motion, or by a heavy wind. The noise ap proached nearer and nearer and grew louder and louder. I looked round but could see noth ing, and was at a loss to know what caused the disturbance until I happened to look up, when I saw two large fowls fighting in mid air, about the height of a tail pine tree from the ground. In a short while both fell to the ground only fibout twenty steps from me. 1 then saw that t was a very large eagle, which had caught a buzzard as her prey. For three minutes I never saw feathers fly so in my life. The eagle hopped off a few feet distant and warily surveyed her prey. She then hopped up to the buzzard, turned it over with one claw, and having become satisfied that it was dead, flew up info a pine and gave two screams which could easily have been heard a mile. She sailed off over the swamp, returning in a short while with four young eagles about the size of a large hawk. They all pitched upon the buzzard and commenced tearing it in pieces. Just such chattering I have never heard. There was a grown hog feeding near by, and, no doubt, smelling the blood, trotted up to where the eagles were. The old mother eagle screamed and struck the hog, cutting one of the hog’s ears off even with its head. The hog retreated and the eagle struck it again, this time taking off a part of its tail. I then advanced, but did not dare to fight, and hence moved off in an oppo site direction, leaving her and her family to peacefully complete their meal. The eagle, I am satisfied, would measure twelve or fifteen feet from tip to tip of wines, ami was capable of hearing away a small child. If I hail been provided with a gun I might have killed the mother and captured all of the young. Mr. Lester, a few days afterward, found the hog dead. Those Dreadful Evictions. From the Omaha World. Omaha Philanthropist—l've been in Ireland and seen some hard things, but— Politician -Sit right down, sir, and use this house as if it were your own. What can I do for you? “I have called, sir, to secure your influence in behalf of some fifteen or twenty evicted families who ” "More evictions’l’ll call a mass meeting at once, this very week, sir.” “They are now living in miserable tents, and ” “Put me down for SIOO, sir, for their relief. I wont to head the biggest kind of a popular sub scription. Did you get the news in a private letter or did it come by cable?” “The families I refer to are right here in Omaha, and I have just been talking with them.” “Glorious. We’ll have ’em on the stage at the mass meeting. How did they get across the ocean?” “Oh, they were born in this country, you know, and were evicted from Omaha shanties ’ for not paying their rent.” “Oh, then, see here, you meddling milksop; those were my shanties and if you don’t attend to your own affairs, I’ll make daylight shine through ye.” The Difference. From the Detroit Free Press. There w as a man. And he had a horse and wagon. And he went about the streets selling straw berries. . And he yelled: “Strawburies! straw-buries!" at the top of his voice. The sick groaned in despair. The well gritted their teeth with indignation. And the police couldn't stop him. Put one day lb-evidence picked him up with a congestive chill and sent liim home to die, and he expired in agony. He wus buried in a cheap coffin, in a cheap lot, and six weeks later his widow was married to a tinker. And there was another man, and he also sold strawberries. Instead of roaring: “Straw berries I” from down in his boot s, he drove about at u gentle pace, knocked softly at every hack door, and as the girl appeared he quietly re mark,wl: “Please ask the lady of the house if she will buy fresh strawberries at Sc a quart ?” And his ways were taking, and his berries went as fast as he eould load up, and a syndi cate of millionaires took hold of him and made him President of a national bank, with a salary of SIO,OOO a year. For further particulars see later editions. July. From St. Nicholas for July. July—for you the songs are sung Bv birds the leafy trees among; with merry caroliugs they wake The meadows at the morning's break. And through tin' day the lisping breezo Is woven with their tree-top glees. For you the prattling, pebbly brooks Are full of tales like story-books. For you a fragrant Incense burns Within the garden's blossom urns Which tempt the bees to hasten home With honey for their honey-comb. The river, like a looking-glass, Ketlects the fleecy clouds that pass. Until it makes us almost doubt If earth and sky are n't ehanged about. July for you, in silence deep The world seems fallen fast asleep, Save on one glorious holiday, When all our books we put away And every little maid and man Is proud to be American! Zach Taylor as a Kisser. The kissing of Georgia college girls by Onv. Gordon brings hack a memory of the lotig ago. On his return from the Mexican war Gen. Tay lor was invited everywhere, lionized by every body and kissed by long procesions of ladies bn each occasion. One whea a swarm of charm ing hellos was riling by with the accustomed lip service the adjutant stopped him: “General, it is usual with a commanding officer to have du ties discharged by subalterns, and lam willing to relieve von of this work.” ‘‘That will do,” said Gen. Taylor, “when he wants the business done, but when he wants the business done w ell he should attend to it himself,” whereupon he straightway hand's I his mout h to the next lady and want on with the exorcise- I ITEMS OF INTEREST. A six pound cannon, supposed to have be longed to a British war ship of times, bos been found near Portland J-*bs Q * Maine. Paris had 053 fires last year, a larger total than usual, and no less than thirteen of the number were in theatres or like places of puDiic resort. Lal/umiere JSlectrigue now claims that the lightning: rod was not invented hy I ranklin, hut I by a Bohemian monk, who, it states, erected ! one in 1754. A Plymouth (III.) man attempted to chastise a cow by kicking her in the nose. He missed his aim, and his leg struck her sharp horn and he was impaled.

A wedding ring, first worn in 1819, came into the possession of the granddaughter of the origi nal possessor, a Rochester, Pa., girl,and she lost it. Now, after six years, it has been found in a garden which has been regularly worked every year. Hugh Wiffler’s team brought into Corunna, Mich., Tuesday night, propably the largest load of eggs ever hauled in this country—2.423 dozen. The wagon, eggs and boxes weighed nearly 7,000 pounds. Mr Wiffler has already bought this season nearly 40,000 dozen eggs. Abilene, Kan., has not had a criminal prose cution in the courts for over a year; with 6,000 inhabitants there is not a druggist in the place that sells liquor for any purpose, nor is there a “dive” or “joint” where liquor can be obtained for love or money to be found in the city. Quite a number of people crossed the Arkan sas river the other day at Garden City to see a herd of buffalo now grazing on the prairies. There are about thirty young calves and one or two cows in the herd. The owner intends mak ing an effort to cross them with domestic cattle. Some careless fellow left a lighted cigar upon the seat of a street car between St. Joe and Benton Harbor the other day. Presently a cel luloid bustle followed a lady into that same car, and, after bobbing around a moment, was planked square upon the glowing cigar and ex ploded. Lubec has purchased from a Berlin sculptor busts of Prince Bismarck and Count Moltke, who arc the only living honorary citizens of that free town out of nine, the first of whom was elected in 1835, and the last in the person of Prof Thol, of Gottingen, in 1879. The Lusts will te placed in the public library. A woman in Elmira, N. Y., cut twoof her fin gers off accidentally some time ago and a sur geon sewed them on again. The Gazette says; "The fingers have become reunited to the hand and Mrs. Davidson is now recovering the use of them. It is said but three cases of a successful operation of the kind are on record.” A Fall River woman, who testified against her husband this week because he failed to sup port his family, shortly after got drunk on the witness fee and was herself brought before the same court on the charge. Local papers report that she presented a pitiable sight, with her 18- months-old twins on her lap and three other children, the eldest not 8, by her side. A young lady of Corunna, Mich., teaching school in Henderson, Shiawassee county, pun ished n pupil named Elmer Dean, nephew of the late Thomas Morrison, who lost his life while trying to pound a former teacher in the same school. While doing so the young desperado drew a knife and stabbed the teacher quite se verely, but she finally overpowered him. Advices from Japan show that a rumor is current there to the effect that the Senate will be reorganized shortly and all the Senators made peers. Thereafter the Senate will consist of members of the nobility. Hitherto any measure passed by the Senate could be rejected by the Cabinet, but in the future such action will require the sanction of his majesty the Emperor. A woman was found riding on a freight west of Laramie recently, perched just over the coupler, and hangiug on to the brake-rod. She said she was going to Washington Territory and had no money, but she had managed to beat her way more comfortably farther East. When found she was nearly dead with fatigue and exposure to the ftrerce storm, a generous cowboy paid her way to Rawlins and gave her money for food. The London police are so alert in their efforts to catch a dynamiter that a wealthy Tennessee lady, who belongs to one,of the first families of that State and who has not a drop of Irish blood in her veins, has been shadowed there for seven weeks by detectives on the suspicion that she was a dynamiter. They even followed her to the American consulate, where she went to transact some business, and their questions about her led to the disclosure of their sus picion. A curious lawsuit is reported to have arisen out of the recent earthquake at Diano Marino, in Italy. Two adjoining houses to two different families were destroved by the earthquake, with all their inmates.’ When the ruins and corpses were removed the sum of 200,000 francs in gold and bank notes was found among the debris. As it was impossible to as certain to which house the money belonged, and as no member of either family was saved to de cide the matter, the surviving relatives have brought the matter before the courts for de cision. Rev. Richard D. Harlan-, a son of Chief Jus tice Harlan, and pastor of the First Presbyterian church, at Fifth avenue and Eleventh street, has gone to Europe for a summer vacation, and the church is closed until the third Sunday in September. For 170 years tills church has gone along without an organ. An old fashioned tuning fork has been the only musical instrument used. It has led the worshippers in their hymnal devotions; but when the church is re ■ period in September a fine organ will be there to greet Pastor Harlan and his flock. Tile young folks, hacked up by Mr. Harlan, are responsible for the new departure. All San Franciscans who claim to be fashion able go to the seashore in the latter part of May and in June. Nearly every year sees anew watering place enjoy a boom, but for two sea sons Monterey and Santa Cruz have been run ning a neck-and-neck race for the supremacy. This year, however, the burning of the Hotel dei Monte turned the tide to Santa Cruz, and its beautiful beach is now the scene of the daily dress parade of San Francisco society. Santa Cruz is historically celebrated for the cross which Portala planted upon the beach and which Bret Harte has immortalized in a poem. The Crown Prince of Germany astonishes those around him by the resignation and good temper with which he hears his very trying ail ment, He grumbles, it is true, at the diet on which he is necessarily kept, but only in a grim ly humorous fashion. As he is not permitted for the present to speak even in a whisper he always lias a small porcelain slate at his side, on which he writes his wishes. And not infrequent ly he amuses his wife and daughters, who are indefatigable in their attentions, by expressing his wants by means of these quaint little draw ings and heiroglyphics, like those used in re buses so dear to the readers of puzzle papers. Work is going forward rapidly on the Gam betta monument In the Place du Carrousel, Paris. The architectural part of the monument is quito finished, and the statue of the dictator is almost complete. Gambetta is represented as restoring to life his country with the breath of his genius; the figure is a work of remarkable power. The other half of the monument, which is of an emblematic character, Is more open to objection. It represents a gigantic symbol of the Gallic cock crowing, with crowns of Jnurel and oak at its feet. Behind the bird arc arms piled, and a hand holding a shield, which bears the inscription, "Compulsory military service ” and “Education for all.” It, is expected that the monument will be completed by the end of September. A BEAUTIFUL coincidence is recalled by “Lis tener," in the Boston Transcript; It was an Easter morning service in an Episcopal church. Upon the altar there stood a large cross made of white carnations and other pure white flowers. In the midst of his sermon the clergy, man called up the image of the cross, speaking of the bloody sacrifice upon it in Impassioned words. As he began to do so the color of the white cross of flowers insensibly deepened into red-a glorious red that seemed to have fallen upon it from above. The congregation noted t he change and sat utterly hushed and awe st rick en. Then the clergyman went onto speak of tne ascent from the cross to a throne of glory, when the color of the cross of flowers once more insensibly changed, until it stood suffused With the loveliest of royal purple. H was a vision of exalted beauty not to lie forgotten What had caused this strange spectacle? Shu ply the advance of the sun tlisuch a place in the heavens that it shone through the colored win dows of the chancel, passing its rays first through a red and then a purple pane of glass in such a way as to suffuse the cross with the colors in turn.
