C., covered with pine straw bagging manufactured by a man ufacturing company of that city. It attracted gxpat attention.

Solomon Asher, a Philadelphia danc ing master, has just returned from an extended tour through Europe. Ha says, declares the New York World, that Americans- are everywhere con sidered the best dancers in the world. Whenever an American begins to dance in a European ballroom everybody stops to look at him. “They can’t compete with us in anything but ruined castles, picture galleries and cathedrals,” says Mr. Asher. “They are trying to be come’Americanized over there. I saw American drinks and all sorts of Ameri can things everywhere.” A loan of $5,009,000 has been practi cally negotiated ia England toward the completion of tho great tunnel under the Hudson river at New York City. Since 3lay, 1873, when the company was incorporated, about $2,000,000 has been expended for tunnel work. It is a twin tunnel, and the excavations have progressed about 2000 feet and 700 feet from the New Jersey and New York ihores respectively. It is thought two years will bo required to complete the most advanced underground channel, and it i 3 estimated that $10,000,000 will cover the cost of the tunnel exclu sive of approaches. Among the passengers on board the City of New York during a recent trip, says tho New York World, was Sir Richard Burton, the most famous and daring traveller of the age. His ad venturous trip to 3lecca disguised as a dervish, and his discovery with Speke of tho great Central African lakes at the Nile sources, are as well known as his wonderful transmission of the “Arabian Nights.” As an exptorer, linguist and author he is pre-eminent, *nd his arrival in. this country, of which he is such a warm admirer, will give New Yorkers an opportunity of making the acquaintance of the most remarkable man ot the day. It is a fact thought worthy of com ment by the newspapers, records the New York Observer, that a railwmy Magnate who recently died made pro vision in his will that his wife should be the executrix cf all his vast estate, worth many millious. In explanation °f this “peculiar featuro” of tho will, it ** said that the millionaire, Charles Crocker of California, was a poor man when ho married, and that he himself attributed all his subsequent successes to tho practical sympathy, tho good sense and the wise counsel of his wife. L is pleas nt to record such a conspicu -OUj example of perfect trust and true appreciation as this case affords. Thousands of men who might, attribute their success in life to the samo cause never give any tangible evidence ol their recognition of the fact. - 1 an 2 ' THE WORLD OVER.

The crowd then repaired to their respective places of habitation. After the fight three pistols were found and eight chandlers were found empty which had been discharged at the time of the fight.

He was considered very influential among the colored people and was quite a promi nent politician. MARYLAND. National Watts, aged ninety-three, die! of pneumonia in Bdtimore, Md.
