Blaine may now be expected to improve very rapidly. Lightning struck a barn up in Maine the other day but a short distance from Bar Harbor. Portugal still continues to writhe in the throes of her chronic hardupnoss. Gold is scarcely to be had at all in the kingdom, and when found it commands an enormous premium. Within the past six months, according to the partial statements of partisan tariff republican papers, “the tin mines of Cali fornia” have succeeded mout-puttiug3B,ooo pounds—or nearly 400,000 ounces and just ever so many grains of pig tin. Isn’t that a remarkable thing for a tin mine to do? Usurper Bulkelev actually had the audac ity to review a parade and read the declara tion of independence to the town of Hart ford on the Fourth of July. Wbilo violat ing the spirit of that great declaration tho talk of the brevet governor eould not have very much impressed the people of Connec ticut. That great inland lake that recently Caused bo muoh excitement in California now turns out to have been only the result of a break in the bank of the Colorado river, which the engineers think can be ■topped. Should they manage to shut off the flow of water they will spoil one of the most notable of modern wonders. Minister Fred Douglass' sudden return from Hayti was apparently largely due to the excitement consequent upon bis sur mise that the insurgents had about a mil lion or more guns that might be let off just anytime. So he decided to sail homo and ■ee bis folks once more. Shooting is not the dusky diplomat's favorite diversion. Notwithstanding the apparent cordiality of the greeting between the Emperor of Germany and the Prinoe of Wales, the visiting sovereign has very clearly manifested his prejudices on the subject of the Tran by Croft affair by objectmg to the presence of Lady Brooke at tbe forthcoming garden party. What seems to trouble the English papers most about the international copyright act is that it may foroe upon English readers American spelling, which the London Times assures us they will not stand. They may rest quite oontent and peaceful. It is not at all likely that we shall attempt to cast our well-known American spell over them. Friends of Senator Walthall indicate that he doesn’t wish to represent Mississippi in the United Slates Senate again unless he is coaxed a good deal and the office is literally thrust upon him. Doubtless there are plenty of patriots in Mississippi who are much more willing, if not positively anxious, to serve their state. Such an office will not go begging. Recently a Connecticut domestic entered complaint against her former mistress charging the spinster with setting a pack ot dogs upon her because the girl had left tbe spinster's employ and then compelled her to pay the wages she had agreed, but subse quently refused to pay. That’s almost as bad as the philanthropic puritans used to say that the planters in this part of the country treated their slaves. But this poor lacerated young servant did not belong to die woman, and had committed no offense ixcept to ask for what was due her. What lenders her treatment still more brutal is hat It lays her liable to hydrophobia. Judge Crlep'B Plea for Democracy Tbe speech which Congressman Crisp made at the Tammany celebration in New York, July 4, was an excellent one, and is being commented upon very favorably. In speaking of the democracy he said: “The Democratic party is the party of the people. If we are united and earnest and tirdess in our efforts at the next elec tion we will triumph all along the line, and for the first time in thirty yearn will be in a condition to make laws for the people. We oan elect a President, a Senate and a House 'of Representatives. Then our responsibil ity will begin; then we can do much for the i relief of the people; then weean,amply ear ing for the interests of labor, greatly dimin ish taxation, reluce piblic expenditure, re store our evromerce, foster our ag riculture, encourage our manufactures and thus bring to the masses of the American people prosperity to which they have long I*oen stra 'g-ors, an i tha. peaoe and contentment which prosperity alone can bring ! This IS a charming picture of what would follow democratic success in 1892, and it is ! a true picture. Place the government in : the control of the Democratic party and | the material condition of the people would I at once liegin to improve, because that party would legislate for the masses rather than for the wealthy class and the monopo lists an J trusts. But, strange u 9 it may Bee n, just as the Democratic party has a fair prospect of getting control of the government certain men who claim to be democrats are trying to weaken that party in order to build up the People’s party. They pretend that they do not favor the People’s party, but they miss no opportunity to speak in eom plimentry terms of its principles. If tbe truth wore known it would doubt le s appear that they don't care very much for the principles of either the Democratic or the People's party. Their purpose is to advance tbair own political fortunes, and, as they are in the rear ranks in the Demo cratic party and see no immediate prospect of getting into the front rank, they are secretly making their way to the People’s party and are trying to carry a large con tingent of the Democratic party with them. The more they can influence to join the People’s party the greater, they think, their importance in that party will be. But it is probable that they will hesitate to cast their fortunes with the People’s party unless they can Induce a very large number of democrats to do the same thing, because they would bo no better off in a party that had no chance for success than they are in the Democratic party. Democrats should study carefully the course which these alleged democrats and would-be leaders in the People’s party are pursuing. They would Dot belong in arriv. iug at the conclusion that suoh mn are not safe leaders to follow. If they are wise they will stick to the Democratic party —a party which keeps its promises, and which, it it gets into power in 1892, will so shape legislation and administer the government that, as Judge Crisp says, there will be prosperity and contentment throughout the land. Direct Trade With Europe. A few months ago a good many men in this state, among whom were prominent al lianoomen, were deeply interested in estab lishing direct trade with Europe from some one of the South Atlantic ports. Savannah and Brunswick were the ports which re ceived the most attention, and a good deal of enthusiasm was shown with regard to the matter at a conference called at Atlanta to consider the subject. Since that con vention nothing has been done to advance the direct trade project. But would not the present be a favorable time to revive it? The last congress appro priated quite a large sum to be used in aid ing tho establishment of steamship linos be tween ports of this country and foreign ports. According to our dispatches yester day, the government has determined to consider only lines from Pacific ports, from Atlantic ports as far soulh as Norfolk, and three gulf porta, namely: Tampa, New Orleans and Galveston. The question of including Havanuah and Charleston was considered, but neither, it seems, gave suoh a guarantee as Is required. But if the alliance is as much in earnest in this matter as it was some months ago, oould it not assist in giving such a guarantee for Savannah as would cause her to be included in the list ? Tho guarantee, as we understand It, Is that a steamship line to a foreign port must be established within a certain time. Savannah now has freights all the year around for Europe. When the cotton sea son is over there are photphate and naval stores for shipment. Indeed, it looks as if there would be phosphate for shipment all the year round, and plenty of it. That Savannah has a chance of being in cluded in the list of ports that might be benefited by the postal subsidy there is no doubt. As stated in our dispatch, the only thing that caused her to bo left out was her failure to give such a guarantee as the gov ernment requires. Would it not be wise fer those who have been foremost in pro moting the direct trade project to give this postal subsidy matter immediate and care ful consideration? Authentic advices from Chicago tell of a restless young man who has lately been living amou£ the Indians, and In the night ehortly after his return thoughtlessly gave two or three successive warwhoops in his sleep that scared a busy burglar almost into con vulsions. Not only did he drop everything that he could drop, but came very near dropping himself until he betnought him to “put a move on.” Then he shot through a window and hit the street running. Al though he fell over everything accessible he did not slow up nor remember that be had a pistol until he got to a corner several blocks away. Then he pulled the gun and glanced at it but didn’t seem to have time to shoot it as a gun ought to be shot. It seemed to remind him of the horrors he had just escaped, and he plunged it into his pocket and vanished through an alley. When that burglar gets his nerves steady once more he will be provoked at that man and feel as if there should be some law to prevent people from scaring the very ap; etite out of a hard-working burglar. London has been investigating the influenza. Although the inquiry is said to have proved very in teresting to tbe “royal commission,” nothing worth speaking of was heard about the origin of the disorder that has been so very prevalent for the past two years ex cept that it was found to be most prevalent amoDg employes of the general postoffles. That is probably because of their connec tion with tbe postal savings banks which brings them into almost contact with drafts. TITE MORNING NEWS : TUESDAY, JULY 7, 1891. The Coming of Peffer and Simpson. Our dispatches yesterday contained the information that Senator Peffer, Repre resentative Jerry Simpson and Mrs. Lease, j of Kansas, would soon vi6it Georgia for the I purpose of inducing alliancemen to abandon ; the Democratic party and join the People’s ! party. They will be given a respectful bearing. They have nothing to say, and can say nothing, tha: will influence any con siderable number of alliancemen to leave the Democratic party. Senator Peffer was a repuPlican until he thought it would be to his interest to break away from that party. He has perhaps written as many bitter things about the south and the southern people as any other man in the north in proportion to his capacity to do so, and if the People’s party should amount to nothing he would get back into the Republican party as quickly as he decently could. He made a speech at Cooper Institute, New \ ork, a week or so ago which was coldly received. It was a very commonplace speech. It was chieflv noticeable for the evidences it con tained of tbe senator’s ignorance of the questions he undertook to discuss. Representative Simpson is a much abler man than Senator Peffer, but be creates the impression that he is a political adven turer and a demagogue. He is one of that sort of men who come to the surface when there is a feeling of discontent among the people, and who aim to advance their own fortunes by making themselves the leaders of the discontented elements. Mrs. Lease claims the credit of having prevented Senator Ingalls’ re-election. If her claim is well founded she is a curiosity. She is a woman who uses violent lan guage —a woman with whom other women have very little sympathy. She says nothing that is new or worth remembering, but she attracts an audience because she uses startling expressions and is therefore rather amusing. And these three apostles of tbe new party are coming to Georgia to make converts. A great disappointment is in store for them. They cannot even bring the message that the People’s party has control of Kansas. Within the last month many of the sub alliances of that state have passed resolu tions announcing that they would have nothing to do with that party The truth is that most of the alliaucemen of Kansas are republicans at heart, and in the presidential eleotion they will vote the re publican ticket. Alliancemen of Georgia would make a great mistake if they should place any dependence upon what Messrs. Peffer and Simpson and Mrs. Lease may say, and they know it. It may bo safely assumed, there- fore, that the mission of the three Kansas propagandists will be a total failure. A Question of Respectability. In his speech at the Tammany celebration in New York on July 4 Senator Colquitt touched upon a matter to which republi cans in the north are constantly referring— namely, that in the north the people of wealth and culture are, as a rule, republi cans. The senator said: "I am glad to have the opportunity of looking into the faces of these democrats. I need no confirmation of what I thought was true, that they were as good-looking, as well behaved as the most genteel republican. My republican friends in this section of the country sometimes rally me on the company lam with. They say, in a patronizing way, but kind spirit, that the democrats of this seotion are not like the democrats of the south; that up here the respectability is with the republi cans, whilo down south, among you gentle men, the respectability is with the demo crats. It has oausod me to investigate and to make as far as I could oritical observa tion, and really in looking Over the person nel of this largo gathering I confess you look about as respectable as the most of the republicans I meet. Be that as it may, in our political estimate we judge men not by their silk bats, patent-leather boots and dudish dress, but by the soundness and patriotism of their political views.’’ It is true that in the north there is a larger percentage of what are called the higher classes in the Republican party thau in the Democratic party, and the main reason is that the manufacturers are republicans be cause they favor the tariff policy of the Re publican party, and the merchants who handle the goods of the manufacturers sym pathize with them. Another reason is that the Republican party is the friend of monopolies and trusts. Ilowever, all of the respectability in the north is dot to bo found in the Republican party. The Demo cratic party has a very fair share of it, and its share is steadily growing larger. And it oan be said of the northern demo crats that their political opinions are not controlled, as those of the republicans are to a great extent, by personal interests. They are democrats because they believe that democratic doctrines are better for the whole people than those of the Repub lican party. They have a higher regard for the republic than for the almighty dollar. Chicago proposes to abolish Wall street by establishing a stock exchange of her owu. Such a movement would create a panic among the speculators of New York and cause a wild ttampede to the west. Yet there is no apparent reason why Chicago should not have a stock exchange. It is a much more central location, and has far more of the property in which shares are sold in immediate contiguity. In fact, the wonder is that the great western metrop olis did not have such an exchange long ago Another of those enormous Leary rafts is now slowly making its way from St. John to New York. It is said to contain 23,000 feet lineal measure, or about .3,500,000 board measure, and is the largest lumber raft ever constructed. It is towed by two ocean tugs. That’s pretty cheap transportation for lumber. Unless some of it breaks away eu route that quantity of lumber should make a slight quaver in the New York lumber murket. Norfolk is to have a brand new steamship company, organized by Washington capi tal, for the purpose of plying between Nor folk and New York. Should it put on a good fleet of steamers it may make the Bay Line and the Old Dominion hustle for freight. But its capital of $250,000 maxi mum appears altogether too small for the company to prov. a very strong competitor to the old-established lines. Cherokee Indians are not any more hos tile than any other people who merely de mand their rights. Apparently all they ask is that the cattle herders who are graz ing cattle on the “Cherokee strip” shall pay rent for the use of it That’s reasonable enough. No owner of land would be willing to have it used by other people without payment. Asa rule the Indian* only ask for justice. PERSONAL. * First Lieut. Jacob G.

Frederick Douglass has returned from Ilayti, and that mistake of President Harrison’s ad ministration is over. Infringing Bardsley’s Invention. From the Philadelphia Times (Ind.\ There are good reasons for supposing that Foster's new form of treasury statement is a plagiarism—possibly unconscious—of the more striking omissions of Bardsley's patent in this line. That's Pretty Plain Talk. From the Chicago Aeu’s (Ind.). The tin plate talker is now vehemently in op eration. He remembers that the new duties are now in effect and every day he declaims anew the priceless advantage of a tariff on tin. The , "protection" of a few phantom industries will increase the cost of every American working man's dinner, but this troubles not the tin plate talker. For. be avers, the money which we once sent abroad for the purchase of tin will now be spent among American employes of tin manu facturers. He also says there are many native kin factories.

Had No Effect on Annabel. “I got a license here day before yesterday," said a Harver's Week’y man to a clerk in the vital statistics office. “That dockyinent gave permission of the people of this sovereign state ‘for the uniting in wedlock of Jeremiah Sassa fras and Annabel McJunkin." “Y T es." “I paid 50 cents for the license in good, hard cash. “Well, what of it?" “Annabel McJunkin won't have me." ‘ That's bad. Went back on her promise, did she? ’ Not exactly, sir. You see she hadn't prom ised t< marry ine." “Then why did you get a license?" “It was this way. I loved her. and wanted to marry her; and 1 tho ight if I got a license and took it to her, she'd see I meant business and would come to time. ' “And it didn't work?" “No, sir I showed her the big seal of the state, and told her that tbe eyes of the whole commonwealth, through the duly qualified officers, w ere upon her, and tnat her duty was to obey the mandate of the law." “What did she say to that?" “She only laughed." “That s very sad. “Sad's no name for it, sir; and I want to know what's to be done?" ♦ “I don't see any remedy." “Isa weak girl with red hair to defy the authority of the state?" “That's about the way of it." “Can't you send an officer to impress upon her the dignity of tbe commonwealth and to make her understand that the docyments is sued by this office are not to be trifled with?" "No " “Well, I suppose I can get my money back, can't I?" “No." “Here's the license just as it was when I took it awav from here, not a bit the worse for wear. “We can’t take it back, sir, or refund the fee." “And you can't compel the girl to marry me after issuing that liceose and charging me good money for It?" “No." “Then that settles it.

The day of ven gence draws nigh, sir. Beware! You shall hear from me again, and when you hear me, tremb.e!" And Jeremiah Sassafras was gone. Raised the Church Debt. “Talking of raising church debts," the man who had been everywhere said to the Buffalo Exvress. “I cleared up a debt for a church in Deadwood once in spite of myself." “Yes." "It happened this way: I had been playing poker the night before in great luck. Came out a cool $10,01)0 winner. Then a kind of remorse came over me and I made up my mind it would be a good time to reform. I resolved to quit poker and be respectable, and I thought a good way to begin would be by going to church. So I fixed myself up and walked into the biggest church in the place. My intentions were really good, but I hadn't slept any that night. “The sermon was rather prosy, and I went to sleep. After the sermon me parson ex plained that tbe church was a little in debt, and he thought th s would be a good time to pay off. I woke up just in time to hear him say: ‘We must raise $5,000.’ “Well, you see, I was half asleep, thought I was still playing poker, au’ bearin' that put me on my nerve. The deacon with the plate was right beside me in the aisle. I pulled out rny roll and yelled out: “I’ll see that $5,000 and go $5,000 better.’ With that I put my whole SIO,OOO on tho plate. “They were used to such talk out there. They thought I was a gambler who had got religion, and before I was well enough awake to know where I was the whole congregation was sing ing, and the minister was praying for me. I wasn’t going to back water then, so I let the money go. Got a complimentary notice in the Deadwood papers, posed as a philanthropist and all that. Good joke oo me. wasn't it ?’’ “First-rate, andgdid you really quit gamb ling ?" ‘ r Ye sir; quit for good and all,” ho said. And then he added: “By the way, have you got any tips on to-day 's races ?’’ Be At. the Speculator. This incident is related in the “History of Macomb County,” Michigan: Jacob Crawford had located in Ray township. Shortly after ward a land speculator appeared at his house and made no secret of his plan to secure the very land to which Mr. Cranford thought he had a prior olaim. “ 'First come, first served,’ you know, is the rule of the land office,” said the man. The stranger spent the night at dr. Craw ford's cabin. After he had retired, the pioneer said to his wife: “I’ve got to go to the land office at Detroit and gotubead o' that feller. ” “You can’t do it," said his wife. “He’s got a smart pony, an all vou’ve got is your oxen.” “But I’ll start to-night, and I'll beat him—on foot, too.” He set out at once, and mads good progress until he sprained his ankle But he cut two saplings with his sheath knife, and, usingthem as crutches, proceeded. When within ix miles of Detroit he heard a horseman coming. He concealed himself in the bushes until the horse and rider, who proved to be the laDd speculator, passed. To his satis faction he noticed the man ride up to a tavern and dismount. Crawford passed around the house unnoticed, and puehed rapidly on to Detroit. He reached the land office, made his claim, paid over his money, received his certificate and was leaving when the speculator entered. "You here?" he demanded, in surprise. “Yes, I'm here,” the sejtler returned, dryly. “It’s ‘first come first served,’ yon know.” A Very Bright Boy. It was an evening Bchool in Providence, R. 1., says the Boston Herald. There was a class of restless, dirty newsboys and bootblacks on the front sent, trying to see how little they could study, and how muoh they could annoy the teacher. Finally the teacher called up the class anil put them through the catechism on United States history “Who discovered America?" Nobody seemed to know, and the teacher, a long-suffering student from the university, lost his patience. Shutting his book with a bang he dismissed the class with these sarcastic re marks: “Well, when one of you boys get to the point where he needs to have someone vote for him as governor or president, ho will be ashamed to think he doesn't know who discovered America!” One of the wickedest-looking of the boys raised hi* grimy paw. “Well, Tom, what is it?” "I know who discovered America." “Why didn't you tell, then?" asked the teacher, sharply. “Cos I didn't want to tell all I know,” said Tom, while the class went off in a roar The teacher called up the advanced class in spelling, and there was a smile on ins face the rest of the evening. Make Signs. “It teems to be a clear case against the pris oner. If the court understands the evidence, this gentleman asked the defendant a civil question, and he, without replying, knocked him down and proceeded to trample on him and kick him in the most brutal manner. Has counsel for the defense anything to say to the contrary?” "Permit me to explain, your honor. 1 admit that until the facts are fully understood the presumption is certainly against my client. But 1 wish to call your honor’s attention to the fact that the prisoner, while hearing distinctly and understanding all that te said to him, cannot speak a word.” says the Detroit Are* Press. "Admitting that, what has it to do with the assault?” •Everything, your honor The accuser came to the defendant and asked him, ‘What do you think we ought to do to the Italian Mafta in this country?’ My client, unable to speik, yet anxious to oblige the accuser with his opinion on so serious a question, proceeded to demon strate to him in a manner at once convincing and effectual what he thotfght ought to be done in the premises.

A new plan has been adopted by the munici pal authorities of Rome to prevent adulteration. Recognizing the fact that the public can gam but little knowle ge from th* annual reports of food inspectors, they have required tho names of all makers and sellers of Alimentary substances injurious to health or adulteration, to be published in the daily papers. The difficulty of distinguishing certain forms of comatose sleep from actual death has suggested all sorts of ingenious tests, such as holding a bright looking glass In front ef the nostrils, or forcing a spray of water against the closed eyelids. A still more decisive experi ment, however, consists in injecting the pale skin of the upper arm with a strong solution of ammonia. If a sparx of life lingers it will be tray itself by the appearance of a red spot. The Emperor of Austria has for years past found consolation for his troubles in the sym pathetic companionship of a former well known Viennese actress, Catharine gchratt, whose counsels are said to have been of the utmost advantage to him in many important affairs of state. The emperor is accustomed to drive out to the palace at Schoenbrunn ami there, leaving his equipage, he is met by Mine. Srhratt and takes long promenades with her in the forest. Asa result of this friendship the actress is known in Vienna as the vice empress. Her extraordinary intelligence and clear judgment are valued in the highest degree by the emperor. Hon. Stephen A. Douglas addressed the re cent Clover Club banqueters in Chicago as fol lows: “This ceremony to-night makes me think of a story, a real circumstance, that happened in North Carolina some years ago. A negro man and woman went to a justice of the peace to get married. Two or three woeks after this tiie man came back and said: ‘Marse justice, you must tin marry us.’ ‘I can’t unmarry yon,' was the reply. ‘You must.' ‘I oan't ' ‘But you must.’ *1 can't. You have got to go before a court and get a divorce.' ‘Boss, you got me into all this trouble and you must g*t me out of it.' ‘I can't do it. You took that woman for better or worse.' ‘I know that, but then she is a sight worse than I took her for.’ ’’ The friends of Mrs. Burton Harrison are fond of saying that success has not spoiled her. No one who has read her books needs telling that she Is witty, and it is easy to suspect tnat she is vivacious and companionable. Bbe enjoys the amenities of social life, is a mistress of the art of entertaining as of the rarer art of making real friends. Mrs. Harrison was Miss Constance Cary, and is a Virginian of the Virginians. Her mother was a Fairfax, her father closely related t o Thomas Jefferson. She grew up at Vanciuae, the Fairfax place, was thoroughly educated, visited Europe with her mother immediately after the war, was married on her return and has since lived in the midst of the metropolitan society she has so cleverly satirised in ‘ The Anglomaniacs." Mrs. Harr son has written mufch of southern life. “Woman’s Han Uwork in Modern Homes" and "The Old-Fashioned Fairy Book" are among her earlier successful volumes. Then she has the skill to conquer the difficulties of play-writing. Everybody remain - bars the success of “The Russian Honey ihoojn," which she-adapted from the French of Scribe. All of her plays have had a decided popularity. The most recent news is that Pugilist Peter Jackson is going on the operatic stag*.

Whether with a view to give precision to “the young mans fancy” at this pairing season, or merely to keep the gentler sex Informed regard ing the demand in the matrimonial mar.e: The Young '-lan has been inciting its readers to define “the ideal wife." The replies appear to agree that this perfect person must Strive to exist solely for her husband's pleasure, profit and convenience. One tersely, if a trifle un grammatically, says : “There should be a healthy compact between the piano and the wringing machine, so that the dignify of labor is not superseded by the dignity of art, but each contribute to the domestic felicity.” Another, who may have been dipping into Schopeohauer’s abominable chapter on “Women,” put his views into the epi grammatic form: "One whose life says, ‘my husband and 1' and not ‘I and my husband.''* Cardinal Wolsey's Ego et mens Rea) would have been more appropriate st:H. Chilling further samples from the epistolary anthology we find that in the view of various correspondents the ideal w ife “has skill enough to cook a good din ner without being wasteful, taste enough to dress well without being extravagant, tact enough to know when and bow to speak;” and that moreever she must be “one whose love prompts her to do what she can to make a home on earth a stepping stone to a home in heaven.’ One matrimonial monopolist even goes so far as to say that she must “prefer the company of her husband to that of any other man, aud let people see it " We had always thought that “letting people see it," in such cases, was considered rather bid manners. It is not generally known that the Princa of Wales' breach of hospitality in playing baccarat in defiance of the express wishes of his host at Tranby Crolt was by no means hi* first offense against the laws of hospitality and also of good taste. He acted in very much the same fashion some years ago at Goodwood, the country seat of the Duke of Richmond. Ever since his mar nage the Prince of Wales has been in the habit of visiting the duke during the annual Good wood races, with the princess and a large party of royal guests. - n.o Duke of Richmond, who is now an old maa, is very in dependent of mind and possesses great force of character. His horror for gambling is well known, and when, a few years ago, the prince's taste for baqcarat became the talk of London, the duke, on the occasion of the heir apparent * next visit, told him of hi* aversion to games of hazard and exacted a pledge from him that under no oircumstances should baccarat be played during his stay. The duke mekes an invariable rule of retiring every night punctually at 10 o clock, no matter who is present, and confiding in the promise of the prince, although it had been somewhat reluct antly given, the old peer went quietly to bed at his usual time. On the third day of the races, however, the duke, who had, as usual, bidden his royal guests good night at 10 o'clock, had occasion to come down stairs again about an hour later. His horror and in dignation may he better understood than de scribed at finding the whole royal party seated around a table in the library and playing bac carat for very high stakes, with the Prince of Wales acting as banker! So great was the duke’s wrath that be openly protested to tbe prince against the way in which his confidence had been betrayed, the latter presenting but a sorry spectacle during this algarade. for he could find no good excuse for his extraordinary behavior. The card party was broken up in freat confusion, and it was never resumed uring that or any of the subsequent visits at Goodwood. , kiininon* Liver Regulator mred me of gen eral debility and loss or appetite.—Mrs. Ed mund Flttuu, Fraukiord, Ha. —.ld.
