Successive disasters common to agricul tural communities are said to have blighted aud a' most wholly destroyed the potato crop in Pennsylvania. But the pros peots are still propitious in Kansas and Farmer Ingalls has not been heard to utter a word of complaint. Agriculturists should keep an eye upon tho great potato propa gator. As an evidence of the rapid commercial advancement of Brazil nothing more characteristic could be cited than the great rubber trust in tho hands of native capital ists that oontrols almost the whole product of Para rubber that supplies the world. Evidently the Brazilians have an eye to their own advantage, and they may put up the price of golosches on us. Harmony has not yet consented to peroh upon the banners of the Irish agitators. Nor has anything resembling it been dis covered lurking about the site where the rival leaders last measured shillalahs. About $15,000 in cash is also missing in au unaccountable manner from tho patriotic funds. That also manifests no: the slight est inclination to come back to Erin. By the aid of a thorough microeoopical examination and a system of labeling in spected meat Secretary Husk, of the great United States bean bureau,intends to make a desperate effort to in trod uce American pork into the cuisine of France and Ger many. Should he succeed Chicago will probably attempt to bare him nominated tor President at the next convention. Famine is again greatly feared in India. Large exportations of grain have greatly frightened the natives, who staud in con stant nervous dread that the supplies will be'exhausted and suffering ensue. But there is nothing to prevent supplying the deficiencies of exportation by importations from abroad. Doubtless Russia and the Unite! Btates could spare a great deal with out serious inconvenience. Some bold Minnes-tans have actually had the unparalleled audacity to proposo unit ing St. . Faul and Minneapolis. W hy, if thby held a public meeting for the purpose out there delegates from one town could hardly be induced to attend an assemblage in the other,aDd if any one should venture to call the name of one town before the other in offering such a resolution it would probably result in a free fight. It is not very likely that the northwestern twins will ever be aarmoniously united. Dictator Barriilas is said to be encoun tering many difficulties in the formation of his new cabinet. Probab.y that is largely due to the widespread apprehension throughout Gautemala that his adminis tration is likely to prove a stormy one, and the sagacious politicians of the country do not care to become involved in the prospective warfare with to unpopular a leader. Still, the president goes right ahead and puts in such men as be can trust, and fills all other vacancies himself. They have •ome original ways of conducting a republic down in Central America. Surprise is a very mild word to describe the sensation it would create throughout the country should Secretary Foster ad here to his reported purpose of appointing Miss Rose Elizabeth Cleveland as the re quired female member of the national im migration board. Except the recommenda tion of the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union there is no pressure for the sister of the ex President, who has not oven inti mated a desire for the place. Possibly that is the secretary’s reason for appointing her In tho face of the protests of the ultra suffrage women. Doubtless she would make a good commissioner. Seeking: Advantages In the South. Judging; from the tone of some of the Boston papers New England cherishes no little bitterness toward everything and everybody that has been direotly or indi rectly instrumental in the recent removal I of so many of hor established industries to other states where the conditions are more favorable to profitable business. Of course it would not be fair to ascribe this resent ment to the fact that all of these migratory enterprises are locating in southern states. So narrow a prejudice would be altogether unworthy of the enlightened intelligence that New England has always boasted. There fore it cannot fairly be suspected. These migrations of industry are part of a natural development in which prejudice cannot in the nature of things have any part. Such removals are exceedingly ex - pensive and would oertainly not be under taken if the owners and operators of the property did not see that the accruing advantages from such a course are over whelmingly in tbeir favor. With them it is Bimply a cold calculation in doliai sand cents. As New Englanders they would not be at all likely to “pull up stakes” on their native heaths and move their established homes, endeared to them by every associa tion, and their developed business, to which years of toil and constant application have Leon given to build up, to anew and far distant location if the pecuniary induce ments were not groat and indisputable. Despite the declaration of Gov. Ames that “No natural disadvantages have caused this large loss to New England,’ 1 the fact stares us in the face that the South Boston Iron Works and the Exeter Ma chine Works have almost simultaneously moved south from Massachusetts and New Hampsoiie respectively for no other reason than that they can secure fuel supplies and raw material in Alabama and Kentucky very much cheaper than they could in Boston and Exeter. And they could not successfully compete with southern mills while they remained at their former loca tion. That’S all there is of it. It was sim ply a matter of businoss. They found them selves foroed to the changes they have made in order to keep abreast of competi tion in the linn of trade in which they are engaged. There are many other eastern indus tries that could be far more profitably con ducted in the southern states than whero they now are, and their ultimate removal is only a matter of time. There is plonty of room in the south for them all. Menacing the Monarchy. Within the whole history of England the press of the Halted Kingdom has never be fore been so outspoken in its condemnation of tbe heir to the throne as it has during the ten days following the notorious bac carat trial in London. It seems to be an accepted hypothesis that Sir W. Gordon-Cumming has been victim ized in order that the Prince of Wales might be (pared annoyance. This theory is essen tially based upon the assumption that the future King of England has acted in the affair not only selfishly but in a manner that cannot be considered anything short of dishonorable. To be lieve in Sir William in the way tho publie demonstrations of the people clearly show they do Is to not only measurably discredit the sworn testimony of their future sover eign, but to impute to him the rather base act of disclosing a secret that he had pledged himself to keep inviolate. Very naturally this plainly visible trend of public opinion is sorely galling and deeply humiliating to the prince, us it well might be to a man of far humbler station. All the snubs that his social set can aim at Sir William can afford his accredited highness but very little con solation while be rests under the palpably manifest withering contempt of the great mass of his probable future subjects, whom he has long been wont to regard as far be neath him. But it could not afford even an emperor much satisfaction to know that ho was an object of honest contempt to a mere street scavenger, and to know furthorino.e that he deserved it. But it is not so much the scorn of the peo ple that bears down particularly hard upon the prince. Line the majority of dissolute princes the accuraulati. of years and debts and worldly experience has rendered him more or less callous to censure, and, above all things, inordinately selfish. It is the in telligent ami caustic comments of the press th a t particularly irritate and stln g ac and alarm him. It is the scathing force of press cen sure that may evoke a tide of public con demnation that may cost him his prospect ive crown. That’s what worries the prince. Human meanness is often exemplified in all sorts of small ways. But the meanest woman heard of this season is one Mrs. Mary Purdy who brings unnecessary odium upon New Jersey by living at Paterson. When a very intelligent dog belonging to a Mr. John Whalen found Mrs. Purdy’s 12- year-old son, Michael, floundering around in the Morris canal somewhat over his depth the other day, the benevolent beast caught the boy by the hair of his head and swain ashore with him. But in doing so the dog accidentally scratched the lad’s face quite severely. Now Mrs. Purdy has brought suit against Mr. Whalen for “keep ing a vicious dog.” If the meanness of that action can be exceeded the manner has not yet bien devised. That woman ought to be laughed out of court, os she probably will be. To allay the prevalent suspicion that he married for money Sir William Gordon- Cumming has thought proper to communi cate to the press a statement to the effect that his income was ample before he was married, and that he was quite able to “pay the cost of his suit without seriously impair ing his estate.” As the said ousts only amounted to some $12,500 the latter state ment does not sound unreasonable. Still there was really no apparent reason for drawing up a financial balance sheet of bis affairs for the benefit of the general public. It is somewhat in the Dature of an acknowl edgment of doubtful pecuniary standing. Why or how Guatemala should wish or expect to be auuexed to the United States is not as clear as it might be. There is a go wily sized strip of intervening territory between the two countries that could not conveniently be disposed of even though the United States was perfectly willing to consummate such an arrangement. An nexing territory that doesn’t touch our borders anywhere is not an easy matter. Great prosperity is reported in Brazil. So large a coffee orop has not been in prospect at this season for maDy years. Brazilian bonds are on the rise in European markets, and every indication appears favorable to the growth and progress of the country in wealth as well as independence. Wise and conservative government will sustain this very satisfactory condition of affairs. THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY, JUNE 22, 1891. Contest for tbe Convention. There is a good deal of work being done by those cities which want tbe national democratic convention to be held within tbeir limits. There is no contest with re spect to the national republican convention. It is admitted that it will beheld in Chicago. The member of the national demo cratic committee from Missouri is doing all he can to have the demo - cratio convention held in St. Louis. In his view that city Is about the center of everything, and a St. Louis man is liable to lose his temper if told that there are more desirable places than that city in which to hold the convention. * It is understood that Mr. Brice, chairman of the national democratio committee, would like to have the convention meet in New York. His wishes will have great weight, but it is doubtful if either the south or the west will favor New York. They are rather afraid of the local influences of that city. Tammany Bears* Hem. They would like to get as far from Ta‘mmany as possible, though it is difficult to see; how that organization could unduly influenoe the convention. There are other cities, also, which are ask ing for the convention. One of them is Chicago, and another is Cincinnati. And even San Francisco has a lingering hope that she will find favor in the eyes of the national committee. It is probable that the convention will be held in either St. Louis or Chicago. The lecation of either is sufficiently central. And probably there is more to be said in behalf of St. Louis than Chicago. Policy of Canada’s New Premier. Under the new premier the course of politics in Canada will attract much atten tion and command a great deal of Interest on this side of the line because of the com munity of Interests existing between the Dominion and the United States. But the belief seems to be quite general among well iuformed politicians that the better understanding between the two countries that Sir John MacDonald had come to re gard as not only advantageous but essen tial to tbe growth of reciprocal commercial relations is indefinitely retarded by the exi gency that necessitated this change of min istry. All that Sir John Mac- Donald so long combated ana had only very lately been brought to recognize as wise and in every way desirable in tho international policy of the United States has yet to be studied and analyzed and approved by the new premier—unless he waa one of the intimate and confidential advisers of the late ohief minister. In that event the process may prove much shorter. Although Premier Abbott is a man of long political experience and intimate acquaintance with the affairs of the Do minion he has Dover before attained to that degree of eminence which brings a man con spicuously before the world as a familiar figure. Still these modest and comparatively obscure men sometimes suddenly develop abilities of surprising breadth and strength. And the new Canadiuu premier may prove to be one of these modest geniuses of state craft. But Mr. Abbott is clearly not the sort of man to go into a political fight against large odds and rescue his party from the very verge of defeat in the way the late premier did. Only to his aggressive methods and strong personality is attributed the recent narrow escape from defeat of the conserva tive party. Whether the new minister can manage to maintain the supremacy of his party against the popular leaders and policy of the liberals is a matter of no little doubt. At all events Premier Abbott makes an eminently respectable leader of the con servative hosts to fill in an open interval between the long administration of Sir John MacDonald and the ultimate accession of the liberals. But he can scarcely avoid yielding to the growing pressure that his predecessor was finally forced to measurably recognize in favor of unrestricted trsfllc with the United States. Public sentiment on that point in the Dominion has become too strong to be ignored. Two western governors are about to come to an open declaration of war. After steal ing a horse in Wyoming a thief named Kingan escaped iuto Nebraska and was pur sued and captured by indignant Wyoming ers who took him back into their state and sentenced him to the penitentiary. Now the brevet governor of Nebraska has made a peremptory demand for the culprit, which has met with an equally positive refusal. But the enterprising executive of Nebraska threatens to invade the state of Wyoming at the head of all the state troops and take the prisoner by main strength and awkward ness if he can’t bo got in any other way. Hostilities have not yet begun, however. Such a comical dilemma is not wholly un accountable. Bearing in mind the way in which Gov. Thayer got possession of the gubernatorial chair of Nebraska no one can reasonably wonder that he should sym pathize with a horse thief. While CoL Ward Worker Dudlev of * ‘blocks-of-flve” fame is heartily in for any scheme to down Harrison in the presidential race he thinks that the recent demonstration in Indiana was premature, and does not hesitate to say that tho participants acted “like blamed feols.” Reasonably enough the colonel thinks such a demonstration would be de cidedly more timely eighteen months hence. With the machine at bis command and this warning of wbat he has to contend with and prepare for so far in advance it is not likely that Harrison can be deprived of the delegation from his own state. Opponents are only strengthening his position by Bhowing their strength and disclosing their tactics so far ahead of the conflict. In that they betray a degree of weakness that must encourage their enemy. Agitator Marietta Bones is after the South Dak ->ta suffrage sisters for $50,000 damages for alleged defamation of character. Owing to a recent row with the veteran CoL Susan B. Anthony, Sister Bones took occasion to make a few vigoroui and homely remarks expressive of her views upon the colonel and subjects in dispute. Thereupon the whole sisterhood “got together” and “got baokat” Sister Bones in a set of blighting resolutions that did mightily rile the said sister. Now she’s after back hair and cash to the value of $5U,000. Just wait until these good sisters get a firm grip on the polls and there is going to be some old fas honed hair pulling at the first closely contested election that shall ensue thereatter. Report* from the west state that Farmer iDgalls is now engaged much more olosely in some mysterious sort of work that In volves a great deal of writing than he is in watching the succulent potato in its bloom. Still the great potato propagator has never announced any weakening of his great faith in the great American potato. PERSONAL. Bishop-elect Philip Brooks acted as chap lain of tbe opening of the new federal court of appeals in Boston last wee. Sara Bernhardt has just bought a large tract of land in a suburb of i’aris for $52,000, all made during her recent American tour. Mrs. .Mary Smith Harvard, vice president of the Nebraska Woman Suffrage Association, runs a millinery establishment in Chadron. Donald G. Mitchell, tbe author of "Reveries of a Bachelor,” was a graduate of Yale, claas of 1841. and takes part in the semi-centennial observance this year. The venerable mother of Opie P. Read died recently at her home in Portland. She was 79 years old. and the mother of eleven children, only four of whom survive her. Senator Blackburn’s daughters are ardent admirers of thoroughbred horses. They are always to he seen at the Lexington races, and are thoroughly accomplished in equine lore. Lady Harcourt. the historian Motley’s daughter, is one of the cleverest women in Lon don society. She is very handsome and has more than a local celebrity because of ner wit. Next to Senator Hoar, Senator Evarts has had more college titles conferred upon him than any member of either h< :UKe of the last congress. He has reoeived degrees from Harvard, Yale and Union colleges. The Metropolitan Michael of Servia has given his consent to the proposed marriage of the ex- King Milan. It is said that Milan sent 40,000 francs to the tailor of his mistress after receiv ing the 1,000,000 francs from the state. Count Douglass, a member of the German Reichstag, who has become a great favorite with the emperor, is a descendant of the fa mous Scotch family. He is now one of the wealthiest land proprietors of Prussia. A young daughter of Joachim, the famous violinist, recently made her debut as an opera singer at Elberfeidt. and made such a brilliant success that she was immediately engaged for the winter season at the Leipsic opera house. The Servian bov King Alexander Is a sturdy lad of 14, with keen eyes and an intellectual face, but he is as self-willed and stubborn as any royal child. He has been well educated, and speaks German, French and English in ad dition to bis native tongue. John Jacob Astor and Mrs. Astor have or gan ized a coaching tour through the south of England, and have hired a coach and horses with two grooms ad ,i!.jo a week. The party will include Lispenard, Stewart. Mrs. Livingston aud Miss Leiter. Hr. and Mrs. Astor will prob ably be presented to the queen at the next drawing-room. The Queen of Spain’s reason for retarding the completion of the palace which is being built at San Sebastian has at last been divulged. The palace is built privately by the queen, and it is in order to prevent overdrawing her bank account that she has determined to havo the bunding finished only in the course of next year, when she will bo able to pay the archi tects. R. H. Lyman, who has just been appointed managing editor of the New York Recorder , is an uncommonly well-equipped and clever news paper man. He graduated from Yale in 188-4, and worked a couple of years on the Springfield Republican. Thence he went on the New York Herald, in whose service he has been in as high positions as nows editor and city editor of the London edition. At one time, owing to a Ben nett freak, he became a copy cutter. BRIGHT BITS. Job once said the ostrich was the most foolish of all animals.

Another Storm. Jesse Morton was a man who loved to tell a large story, and it cannot be denied that his flow of language and ideas was such as often to j involve him in considerable confusion in case ! he aappened to ba cross-questioned in regard to the particulars of his thrilling tales. One evening he was entertaining two •■drummers.” at the village store, says Youth'* Companion, with an account of a terrible snowstorm which had nearly buried the village some ten years before. Jesse was in the full tide of narration and en joying himself to the top of his bent, half sitting on the counter, and knocking his heels against its support occasionally, if he made a particularly impressive point. “Well,” he was saying. “I’ve pictered out to ye jest the kind of an afternoon’t had been, an’ what I’d said to Sairy; but ’twarn’t no manner o’ use ai gurin' with her; sne was set to go, an’ go she would! So I give in, au’ got aout tbe old mare, au’ hitched her inter the pung, an’ we started. “There warn’t no snow at all on the ground then to speak of, an’ the old pung scraped along considduble bubbly, an’ Sairy she warn’t over’n above pleasant abaout it. But 1 told her there’d be snow enough ’fore we got them twelve miles over to Enoch's an’ back, an' sure enough—•” Here the evening mail arrived, and Jesse hurried to the door for a word with the stage driver, and all was b .sue and excitement for u few minute-. Jesse evidently forgot about his story, but he was stopped by one of the drum mers just as he wse marching out of the store with his eveniog paper. “Finish that story you were telling us—that tremendous snowstorm," deminded the young man. “O, yes,” said Jesse, with an air of slight reluctance, “let’s see, where was I? ’ “About three miles on the way to Enoch’s,” prompted the seeker for information. '‘Well, there ain't time now for me to do that storm jestice.” saidJosse. with his most judicial manner; “but I’ll tell ye this or.e tding abaout it: before we'd made out to gel clear'n over to Enoch's, the enow was up to the hubs o. aour wheels!” "But I thought you were in a pung,” said his listener, with a sarcastic smile. Jesse gave a sort of gasp, and then, gather ing together his bundles, he said with a glance full or reproach. “That Jest comes o’ my bein’ so interrupted, an’ havin’ the words driv’ out'n my head by that plaguy ccach coinin’ un. It slipped my mind which storm I was toilin' you abaout, fur the circumstances was so amazin’ similar. “It was the pung, I rec'lloct now, but there was full as much snow before we got to Enoch’s, as I've stated; an’ as you’ve got such a surDris in’ head, young man, probably you can figger fer yerself where ’twoulil come to, on the oid pung, an’ I’ll bid ye good evenin’!” Then Jesse stepped out of the store with much dignity, leaving tbe drummer with tho feeling that somehow or other he had been en tirely in the wrong, and exceedingly rude, iuto the bargain. Mehltable Makii g Douahnuta. Mary A. Deniton in Youth's Companion. The fun we’ve had. my ancient chum. In the old farm-house, yonder! That gable end was where we slept— Who sleeps there now, I wonder? The moon lights up the big red barn, And glides along the clover, I tell you ’twas a nappy life, I’d like to live it over. But best of all, 10 us, was when Mehitable, our cousin. Rolled out the doughnuts on a boarA Ah, many a baker’s dozen. For Hitty was a winsome girl, With country ways and graces: Somehow you don’t find just that look In any city faces. I see her now—her eyes so blue! I called ’em just entrancin’. The dimples both in cheek an’ chin, They seemed forever dancin’; Her merry laugh, her sleeves tucked up, Her hair combed off her for’ed. Leavin’ it soft an’ white an’ round— She thought that bangs were horrid; Her hands upon the rollin’ pin. No rings upon her fingers. The memory of that happy time. It sort o’ comes an’ lingers Then, when the dough was cut in shape, An’ bits left over, maybe, She’d, laughing, make an elephant, Or all sorts of a gaby Foryou an’ me, but of the rest. Such hearts an’ rounds an' twisters! And threw ’em In tbe kettle, where They plumped with rich brown blisters; Then quicz sne’d turn ’em with a fork. An’ daintily she’d set ’em. And land ’em—well, we boys did that As hot os we could get ’em. To-day the farm’s in stranger hands. The blackberry hills built over, The town has raised a big stone hall. Right where we picked the clover; Mehitable’s a grandma now. An' livin’ in the city. Her husband Is a millionaire, So you au’ I lost Hitty; But we old boys sometimes review The scenes where memory’s laid ’em, An’ call to mind the doughnuts hot. And how we boys would raid ’em; I’ve never tasted doughnuts since, As nice as Hitty made ’em. Looks Like Wales. Congressman Ashbel P. Fitch bears a striking resemblance to the Prince of Wales, says the New York World, and on that account has had a good deal of fun poked at him since his royal highness became so prominent as a baccarat banker In ISB4 Mr. Fiich was in Europe on business. He had occasion to visit the little town of Coburg, and it happened that the Prince of Waies was expected there just at that time. A wealthy resident of that town, whose guest Mr. Fitch was to be, bethought him ot playing the New Yorker off on the townspeople for the prince, and the deception was not difficult to put in practice. Toe crowd, who bad seen the prince's pictures, recognized him immeoiately in the person of Mr. Fitch, and his frionds en couraged the mistake. The consequence was that Mr. Fitch got such a reception in OoDurg as seldom falls to the lot of an American abroad. A stately carriage waited for him at the railway station, and the coachman who drove the horses and the foot man who opened and closed the carriage door were dressed up in gorgeous livery. As soon as Mr. Fitch appeared the crowd began to cheer and shout “Long live the Prince of Wales!” All along the wav the townspeople, who had collected on the sidewalks, cheered and waved theirhats and handkerchiefe and shout-d at the occupants of the carriage: "Longlive the Prince of Wales!” The situation wns not explained to Mr. Fitch until he arrived at the residence of his host, when he learned that be had received the public ovation which had been intended for the heir to England's throne. The congressman soys he didn’t care so much about being mistnken for the Prince of Wales at that time, but be would not like to have anything of the kind happen now. How Whittier Helped a Little Girl. A correspondent of the Bcston Post tells this anecdote of the poet Whittier’s success in aid ing a little girl at a school examination. “You know Whittier's love for children. The aged poet one winter renewed his youth in a hand some overcoat of the purest ulster pattern, clad with which he attended a school examinatioa up among the hills so dear to him. He was standing beside the teacher, who was catechis ing a dimpled little dot in geography. M •What are the provinces of Ireiand?’asked the teacher. “ Potatoes, whisky, aldermen, patriotism,’ begun the child. “ "No, no,’ interrupted the teacher;‘l didn’t mean products; I said ‘provisoes ’ ’ “ ‘On” said the girl, ‘CoDnaught, Leinster, Munster and and—’ "Here she stuck, put her chubby finger into her rosebud mouth, and sought inspiration suc cessively witn her toes, the corner of apron, the ceiling and the poet. All children love the old Quaker poet’s kindly face. He smiled; her face nrizhtenid sympathetically. The entente cordiale had been established between them. He patted his ulster significantly; she looked at him inquiringly. He nodded and she burst out with: ‘“Oh, Miss Simmons! I know now! They are Connaught, Leinster, Munster and Over coat!" Never Forget a Friend. * “When Gen. Grant returned to St. Louis after his famous tour around the worid,” said a Missourian to the Bt. Louis Republic, “I heard him make a remark which removed from my mind all the prejudices I ever had against him as the commander of the federal army of the United States. He stopped at the Southern hotel and had a steady stream of callers —old friends who bad known him in his adversity and his poverty. I was sitting in the parlor one day when an elderly lady called and wanted to see Gen. Gram. She was promptly admitted. “ 'General,' she said. T don’t suppose you will remember me. as you have met so maDy people since I saw you last.' “ ‘Madam,’ said the general, ‘I never yet for got a friend. Don't you remember the day when some of your people picked me out of the gutter, took me to your house and gave me a clean shirt? And don’t you remember how you nursed me back to health and strength inside of two days? I hope you have forgotten all that, but I haven’t. 1 nover shall forget it, either.” ITBMS OF INTEREST. Father John Hauptmann, a German priest in Brooklyn, who lately died, commemorated the death of his housekeeper by a $20,000 monu ment made in Italy. A full length figure of the housekeeper was depicted in granite, and this was placed on her grave. Opposite it a statue of l ather Hauptmann, w ith prayer book in liana, was erected, showing him looking with admiration upon the image of his deceased servant. Bishop Loughlin ordered the priest to remove his ow n %tatue. which he did with re luctance. A singular freak of nature has manifested itself in Saratoga. Mrs. Mary Francis, when she was young aDd also while she was in the prime of life, had very black eyes and a beauti ful head of very black hair. She is about 70 years old now, in good health, and a rich widow. When she was about 50 her hair began to turn white, and in a few years the whole of it was as white as snow, and so remained until about a year ago, when it began to turn black again, and has now, without the use of any artificial means and purely as a freak of nature, aimost wholly returned to its original color, and is as long and silky as when she was a young woman. A mono the curious treasures cherished by the famous songstresses, Patti and Nilsson, with greater affection than any peculiar jeweled souvenirs of later days, are the little common toy violin on whicn Nilsson learned to play When four, years of age, and the beautifully appareled doll named Henrietta, presented to tbe little seven-year Adelina, at her first con cert in New York. Of considerable more value is a ring with a sapphire eye. in which a dia mond tear glitters, and an exquisite rose of gems, which Romo unknown admirer threw in side her door, having the inscription of her favoriie song. “The Last Rose.” Patti’s latest gift is a bangle of flue gold lines, representing a slave set with notes la, do. ra. in large diamonds, to signify that she was i'adoree of the people stili. A correspondent of the Wilmington (Del.) yen, who has mado the ascent of Popocat epetl, the highest mountain in Mexico, with an altitude of 17,870 feet, thus describes his sensa tions: “I shall never be able to pen adequately the fearful cold, the amount of my own indi vidual suffering and intense anxiety for safety of life aud limb. My breathing apparatus almost collapsed. At one time I counted thirty five respirations to the minute—about double the uormal number. With the increased action of the heart oame increased pulsation, and from about eighty beats before I started the pulse ran rapidly to upward of 120 per minute—a hard, wiry, jerky pulse. I had strong, burning, tingling sensations in the ears, my hearing be came very much impaired, and a slight bleeding at the nose. To all these afflictions was added the intensity of the cold.” It Is a long time since any deliverance on the part of an English judge has been so severely and so generally condemned as the summing up of Lord Uoleridge in the baccarat case; and the prevalent sentiment was expressed by a learned gentleman, who remarked: “I had not known until to-day that the lord chief justice was re tained for the defendants." Another distin guished auditordescribed the summing up as a supplementary speech for the defense. Lord Coleridge angrily oawled out: “Silence; this is not a theater,” when the people in the court ioudjy applauded Sir Edward Clarke’s speech; wt-ereupou a person at tbe back of the room re torted: “You have made it so.’’ The bench certainly presented a scandalous sight, all things considered, during the trial; and I hear that the queen expressed her sentiments freely on the subject, with the result that several ladies, who, it was stated by the daily papers had been present, have been taking great pains to lot everybody know that the reporters were mistaken, tor they were not near the court. Labouchere says in London Truth: "I learn that the German emperor has thought fit to ex press his sentiments respecting the baccarat case in a letter to tne queen. The relations ex isting between the emperor and the Prince of Wales have never been cordial- William has not forgiven bis uncle for so warmly taking the part ot the Empress Frederick in tbe lamily quarrel which scandalized Europe three years ago. The emperor, therefore, seized with de light this chance of snubbing his uncle by criticising his conduct, complaining of it and protesting against it from a mil tary point of view. Under ordinary circumstances, the enmeror's letter would bo regarded as impertinent and meddling in mat ters in which he has no concern; but, unluckily, his majesty finds an excellent excuse for cen suriug sharply the prince’s strange mathod of dealing with the alleged offense against mili tary honor, in the fact that his royal highness is the colonel of tho Prussian regiment of Blucher Hussars. Tbe emperor’s severe disser tation will be very bitterly resented, especially as he takes, as ussal, the God-Almighty-to a black-beetie-tone, which is exceedingly exasper ating.” One of the most respected criminal lawyers in Quebec recounted recently th“ daring scheme of an American firm of law publishers to black mail members of the legal fraternity. A can vasser of this firm, it semis, offers for an an nual subscription of $lO a law report published in the United .States, which will contain all the points in the principal lawsuits in the courts of that country. The publication turns out to lie worthless and at the end of the year the sub sorlber is satisfied that he has been victimized, and therefore discontinues his subscription. The publishing firm then write him that unless ho keeps on paying $lO par year they will publish his name iu their black list and ruin him in his on city by writing circulars to tne commercial classes stating that he is an unfit person to whom to Intrust business, being in temperate and dishonest. Attempts to extort blackmail in this peculiar manner have been made on several Quebec law yers. who have determined to bring the guilty parties to punishment. Mondav last the Batonier of the Quebec liar decided to com voke a meeting of all the members of the legal profession to take action in the matter. Among the victims of this American firm of blackmailers in Quebec are Messrs. F. X. Lemieux and Achiile Carrier. The following extracts from the letters of Daniel Webster and his broth’er Ezekiel will in dicate how the young men had to struggle with poverty through their college days. The reader will remember that the home farm was mort gaged to pay Daniel's expenses through college, and when it was proposed to give Ezekiel similar advantages the father and mother held a council. "The farm is already mortgaged, " said the old gentleman, “and if we send Ezekiel to college it will take all we have; but tho boys think they can take care of us.” It did not take the strong-hearted, sagacious woman long to decide the matter. “We can trust the boys," she said. So the matter was settled. Daniel went back to Hanover, while Eneklel went, bundle In haud, to Doctor Wood’s and began the study of Latin, his expenses being but a dollar a week. In Novem ber, 1802, Daniel was at home in Salisbury, while Ezekiel was struggling: with poverty at Hano ver Funds were getting low in the Webster homestead. Daniel writes under date of Nov. 4. “Now, Zeke, you will not read half a sen tance, no. not one syllable before you have thor oughly searched this sheet for scrip; but my word for it, you’ll find no scrip tere. We held a sanhedrim this morning on the subject of cosh. Could not hit upon any way to get you any. Just before we went away to hang our selves through disappointment it came into our heads tnat next week might do. The truth is, father had au execution against Hubbard of North Chester for about SIOO. The money was collecting and just ready to drop into the hands of the creditors, when Hubbard suddenly died. This, you see, stays the execution till the long process of administering is completed. I have now by me 2 cents in lawful federal* currency. Next weak 1 shall send them, if they be all. We are all here just in the old way, al ways behind and lacking. Bovs digging pota toes with frozen fingers, and girls washing with out wcod.” Ezekiel writes to Daniel at about tho same time, the two letters probably cross ing each other. "These coid, frosty mornings very sensibly inform me that I want a warm great-coat. I wish, Daniel, it might be conven ient to s nd me cloth for one, otherwise l shall be necessitated to purchase oue here. Ido not care what color it is—anything that will keep the frost out. Some kind of shaggy cloth, I think, would be cheapest. lieacon I’ettingill has written, offering me sl4 a month to keep sehool. I believe I shall take it. Money, Dan, money! As I was walking down to the office after a letter, I happened to have 1 cent, which is the only money I have had since the second day after I came on. It is a fact, Dan, that I was called on for a dollar where I owed It, and borrowed it. and have borrowed It four times since to pay those I borrowed of.” “Dinner For Two.
