In 1828 Henry Clay was one of its guests. He dined tliere May .12, with a number of citizens, though he refused a public dinner. The Prince of Wales also slept under this roof when lie made-his tour through the United States. Charles Dickens tells ; in liis “American Notes” that he slept there, and that it was the first place in the country where his bed was hung with curtains. In the rooms of the hotel many schemes have been hatched to uphold democracy in the state. ; In the two rooms —217 and 218—Senator Gorman has had his head quarters for the last eight years. Jefferson Davis has been seen in its corridors, and Gen. Grant stopped there once. For years it has been the resort of turfmen, who come to Baltimore to at tend the Pimlico races. MORE EXCITED SETTLERS. River Land Settler* In Iowa Defying the Hated Eviction Laws. Fort Dodge, la., April 3.—The old excitement among river land settlers has been revived by the resumption of evic tions from Litchfield lands, and the ac tion of the evicted settlers toward parties who have purchased lands from which evictions have been made. At an early hour yesterday morning a large number of liver land settlers, fully equipped with machinery and seeds, started to plant crops on farms of evicted settlers. This action is in keeping with the threat made at the time that they would repossess themselves of the lands from which they had been evicted. The farm of Charles Pigman, which he purchased after Wil liam Spainhower was twice evicted, was visited during Pigman’s absence. When he returned a few hours later he found his field alive with men and teams, sow ing crops for the evicted settler, Spain hower. Pigman came to this city at once and filed information against as many settlers as he knew, and warrants were issued for their arrest. Settlers announce that it is their in tention to farm for the benefit. of the evicted settlers all the lands from which occupants have been removed, and that officials will be defeated if they inter fere. Such action will precipitate great er trouble than ever before in river land cases, and there is much excitement. EIFFEL'S TOWER COMPLETED. one of the boats belonging to the vessel, arid, being told by tlie coxswain, with whom 1 had held the above conversation, where to sit I, made myselFas comfort able as I could, determined not to allow any of the details to escape my notice-if I could possibly help it. The boat I was in was the perfection of neatness and had evidently been cleaned thoroughly that very morning, and the brass work shined up just before leaving the ship. 1 had just time to take this in and take a seat on the spotless white cushion covers, as the coxswain gave the order “up oars.” At this command all but the two men in the bow of the boat raised their oars, and holding them up and down, all at the same height and in the same line with each other, awaited the next order. “Shove off!” said the cox swain. The men In the bow used the boat hooks they had in their hands and pushed the boat well away from the dock. “Let fall!” says the coxswain, and down come all the oars at once. Give wayl” is the next command, at which the ten lusty backs are bent in unison,, and the boat, quickly gathering way, is headed for the ship. The two men in the bow get up their oars to gether and, letting them fall like clock work, are soon in stroke with the others. Not feeling quite sure whether the old song about '-You must not speak to the man at the wheel” applies to a man in a boat like the,one in which I was or not, I hardly thought it best to address any conversation,-but found sufficient amuse ment in watching the stroke of the men and in endeavoring to make up my mind to what nationality they from aloft. Some men were playing dominoes, others were reading books from the ship’s library, and a few were stretched out with their heads on coils of- rope, taking an afternoon nap. The galley, as the cooking range is called, was quito an interesting feature, and until it was explained it was hard to realize how so many could be accommo dated by so limited a space. The food as a general rule is made up into a stew, tlic.meat and vegetables being put in large boilers or “coppers,” as they are called The room,not being sufficient for ail to have a roast on the same day, turns are taken, so tliat three or four, messes have it each day. The crew are divided into messes of about sixteen each, and a cook is appointed for each Diets. The duty of this cook is to pre pare the food for the galley, take it up tliere and turn it over to the ship’s cook, who really attends to the actual cook ing. the mess cook having the cleaning of tlie utensils, the setting out of the rations and the cleaning of liis particular portion of the deck to attend to. A cari>enter’8 bench was set up away in the forward end of the vessel, and three or four men were busily employed on some one of the endless jobs ever coming up aboard of a ship. A black smith's forge was also in use, and tliqre seemed quite a rivalry among some m the stalwart youngsters as to which one could use the ponderous sledge the long est, and the blacksmith did not seem at all averse to encouraging this spirit of competition. A big gun traveling around on tracks bolted down to-tlie deck so that it could be fired from side to side, and kept so bright that one could see to shave in its polished surface, was pointed out as the largest muzzle loading gun carried in our service—a class of artillery, how ever, that from wlutt I could judge was fast giving way to new breech loading guns having very much increased range and power of penetration. This old gray beard in charge of this gun evidently took the greatest pride in his work, os he was rubbing up some scratches made during the morning’s drill, using first a flat piece of cork and then -i silk handkerchief of the softest texture, that he said he had boughtwhen on h former cruise in the same ship out in China, where ho had: charge of the same gun. Curiously enough, this old shelltiack was aboard the ship when she RE-ONION, belonged, for although all were neatly J went up the Mississippi and by the Mo- dressed in the white canvas suits called 1 working clothes,” habitually worn when work of any kind is to be done, it was very evident that of the thirteen men in Uk» crew there were five or six different nationalities.

New York, April 8.—The Eiffel tower in Paris, 1,178 feet high, has been com peted. It was up to the 1,000 feet mark ast week. I ascended with Clemenceau, Admiral Maxse and Miss Maxse, a girl of 16, who was the first lady to reach tliat altitude. At 1,000 feet the winding stairs stopped. I crawled across the plank over the abyss on hands and knees. By the electric light on the summit it is expected that a person can read a newspaper seven miles off. The light will be visible for forty miles. There is a restaurant on the first landing at the height of the tower of Notre Dame. Spiers & Pond were the English con tractors. The tower is very graceful, and is visible from all parts of Paris. The wind whistles in the iron girders as it whistles in the rigging of a ship. . The exposition is stall in great unreadi ness. Great cases from the United States are lying ready for unpacking, but no exhibits are in sight. After France, Eng land will be the chief exhibitor. The buildings are of unprecedented solidity and extent. The Champ de Mars is con nected with the Irivalide Esplanade by an extension annex. The hall of ma chines is a magnificent expanse of glass. It was not an April Fool Joke. New Hhven, Conn., April 8.—A porter at the Arlington house went to the pri vate apartments of the proprietor, S. E. Bickford, and there found a Spaniard named Montiere Colbas. The contents of Mr. Bickford’s trunk lay scattered about the floor. The porter collared Col bas and marched him i*»to tlie office and there explained the circumstances to Mr. Bickfora. He believed the porter was playing an April fool joke and took no notice of the affair, and Colbas left the hotel. Upon going to his room, Mr. Bickford missed a note of $1,100 and a bank book. Colbas"broko open the trunk liberal pay and bountiful ration. Tlie \ mock and another for the foot. In the morning when all hands are called, these hammocks are lashed up with a piece of rope, one turn at each end and five others at equal distance apart being taken, and are then stowed in the net tings, a waterproof cloth is hauled over them to keep out the weather, which on pleasant days is rolled back, allowing the white hammocks to show as an additional ornament to the deck. Down below on the berth deck comparatively few men were to be seen, as the ship’s regulation required this deck to be kept clear as much as possible, for sanitary reasons. The cooks, though, were busily prepar ing the evening meal, which nowa days is something more substantial than the old time “hot water and spoons. Real nice loaves of bread, tempting looking biscuit, most relishing pans of pork and beans ,and various other substantial food bore evidence toward proving that the inner man-of-war’s man is by no means neglected. The marines, as tlie soldiers of the sea are called, have a particular portion of the deck for their quarters and rival the jackies for keep ing it immaculate. Their stacks of well burnished arms, with highly polished buttons and fittings and spotless white helmets, proved that somebody some where in the ship took more than a pass ing Interest in their behalf. The dispen sary; where the apothecary, always known as “Doc” b; supreme, is on this deck and rows upon rows of bottles, each in a little partition of its own, well secured against the lurching of tlie vessel at sea. showed that there'was plenty of thought be stowed upon any possible contingencies that might arise. A place partitioned off was assigned for the sick and in cots or hammocks were some half dozen men who : were under treatment for vari ous causes—none particularly serious, for in home ports and whenever possi ble abroad the sick are sent to the near est hospital that will have them, as a ship is no place for a man who is not fit to do duty. Tlie cable tiers, the store rooms, the engines, kept in perfect order, the fire room clean and cool, the holds accent of the man in charge of tlie boat, or coxswain, was plainly that of a cock ney. A well trained and decided man ner about him gave him the necessary control over his men, who paid heed to his cautions, once or twice delivered, as to their not pulling properly. *As we drew near the ship the order “in bows” was given, at which tlie two men at the forward end took in their oars, and seizing their boat hooks prepared to fend tlie boat off from the ship’s side. When the distance had been so lessened as to in sure the boat reaching the vessel’s side “Way enough!” was called, and then the oars were all tossed in the air together and lowered into the boat. Tlie little pads or fenders were put over the side to prevent the paint from being marked as the boat fetched alongside, and I was told, as soon as the way, bad stopped, to go up the ladder and ask *the sergeant on duty at the gangway, as the entrance over the ship’s side is called, to allow me to look about the vessel. The ladder, made of ash. was as bright as the top of our kitchen table at its usual Saturday’s scrubbing, and they told me that sand, canvas and “holy stones” are used on it every morning. Holy stones, I found out, were small square stones about as large as a prayer book, and as the person using them lias to get down on his knees, the name naturally arose. » • \ The sergeant, whom I found ready fo receive any visitor who might be in the boat, told me that 1 had struck an off day and could look about the ship to my heart’s content, and that there was no danger of my going where visitors were not allowed, as there were sentinels post ed in various parts of the ship who had strict orders on that subject. It was per fectly bewildering, however, and I hard ily knew the bow from the stem, the mass of ropes in an apparently confused snarl, as one took them in at a glance; the guns, the smoke pipe, the crowd of men, and the utter strangeness of every thing were enough to make one feel very much like the proverbial cat in a strange garret, and I was greatly relieved when Alumni Society, University of Georgia, 3rd Tuesday (18th) June, Com mencement 1889.

Dublin, April 3.—Sir Charles Cameron, medical officer of health to the eoi*pora- tion, reported to-day that he had discov ered a case of leprosy in the city and re commended that the poor creature be forced to go away to some place where the disease is common’ and \vhere they have a lepers’ hospital. The disease pre vailed in this country many years ago and naturally the people are terrified lest it should return. Its appearance now, Sir Charles Cameron states, is caused'by poor living, damp, unsanitary conditions, the use of decaying meat or insufficient vegetable diet. i ■; Advance in Coal Favored. New York, April 3.—An adjourned neeting of representatives of coal com- lanies interested in ilie western anthra cite* business, was held to-day at the Fifth Avenue hotel. Although tlie cAoeoedingt were conducted secretly, it is known that the general sentiment favored an advanc in prices. I saw the smiling face of a relative of the hundreds of other curious and one of my neighbors, who had been for ! interesting features made the time pass so rapidly that 1 was astonished when, upon hearing a lot of whistles being blown by the boatswain's mates, 1 was informed that it was time for “piping the sweepers,” which was explained as meaning a call for men who are detailed to sweep the decks to appear with their brooms and clean up for the day. A bugle was sounded and my guide told me it was the call for the boat to go ashore, and stepping up to the officer’on watch his touched bis cap and asked per mission for me to be landed, which being granted I jumped into the boat and was soon after ashore. Arthur P. Nazro. some years in the service, come up and its owner greet me most cordially. As matters, under his guidance, were explained, I could plainly see that the motto of a place for everything and '’"‘TKfilMrr ia its place had practical ex emplification aboard a man-of-war. The day was called “Rope Yarn Sunday,”, that is one afternoon in the middle of the week is set aside for Jackie’s benefit; drills aro either dispensed with or made very short, the decks are put in order for visitors and the crew are supposed to get to work at their clothing or do what ever they choose^ Tho clothes aboard ship are as a rule made by the men; if not by the wearers, then by others who make a specialty of cutting an£ fitting. To a landsman’s eye there is no very great difference in the set and finish of the clothing, but to the sailors there are many points of difference an adherence to wliich is rigidly exacted. A sewing machine was rattling away, here and there clothes were being marked or the white tape being neatly stitched on, fancy plaiting was being laid up from white cord to bo made into knife laniards for the purpose of keeping the knives from falling down edy you should use. Experimental knowledge is the true criterion. Read the experience of others who have used B. R. R, (Botanic Blood Balm). Their plain statements carry more force than all the logic and theories possible, (g) A Card in the Pocket, Several young married ladies in a cer tain private boarding house in St. Paul are just now having oceans of fun at the expense of one of their sex in Rochester, N. Y. The husband of one of the ladies recently purchased a spring overcoat. With true womanly instinct his better half, the first time the coat was left at home, proceeded to explore the various pockets, and hidden in the little side pocket she found a cordon which the name and address of a young lady at Roch ester, N. Y., was written. Of course the husband was asked to explain, but could not, as he had not been aware of the presence of tho card. The idea that it had been placed there by a young tail- oress who had handled the coat last at the factory struck the spouse in a forciblo maimer. His wife was loath to believe such a story, but followed the advice of her husband and wrote to the address given, pretending that she was a young man who had bought the coat. In the mean time she told the other ladles at the house of the affair and all waited impa tiently for an answer. It came, and of course it was as the husband suspected. The writer was willing to continue the correspondeUbe if the gentleman was sincere, etc. Another letter is now being written. I wonder how the girl will feel when she discovers that her address fell into the hands of a female instead of some gay deceiver?—St. Paul Pioneer Press.
