She was bred at Mr. A. Welch’s Chestnut Hill farm near Philadelphia, and was sent to Newmarket by Mr. Lorillard in August, 1879, in company with other thoroughbreds. Paw Paw was second in the Stanley Stakes at the Epsom summer meeting; was third in the Acorn Stakes at the \same meeting; wasamone the last to finish in the Richmond Stakes at Goodwood, and was the winner of the MolecombS takes the sawe meeting.

THE SOCIAL WARFARE IN IRELAND grows in intensity. ‘Tss murder of the ‘Viscoun, Mountinorres indicates the pres: ence of the worst passions, and the likelihood of arevolt among the discontented peas- antry. Lord Mountmorres was 3 poor, unknown nobleman, unpovular as a landlord, a magistrate, and a neighbor. The motive of the murder is the subject of gen- eral discussion. Everybody in England ‘de- nounces the crime as agrarian, and many call for coercive measures.* ‘The Irish organs de- clare it to be in no way connected with the land agitation, and urge the Government td re~ sist the demand for repression. The National papers are extremely violent. One of them rails at the malignant bdlood-guiltiness of those who maintain “a Satanic system as a gaping gate of hell in the land.” The Cabi- net came to NO DECISION ON IRISH MATTERS atits recent meeting.

Some curiusity is shown in regard to the last-named, as it is generally believed these things have seen their day. ‘The British Association’s meeting this year was @ failwre..

Special Cable, Lonnon, Oct. 2—The Daily News has stated that the Government have decided to abandon Candahar, and that itis only a ques- tion of time when the step will be taken. This is premature. The Government hoved to be able to abandon Candahar, but to do sonow would be to leave the city a prey to anarchy, as there is no one to turn it over to, the Ameer being as yet too feeble. ‘The so- called National party is reorganizing at Far- rah, where Ayoob Khan has appointed Hashim Khan Governor, in order to harass the British. Such tactics must ‘prolong the stay of the British troops. The Government has been urged by the Viceroy’s Council to retain control over the city, and though Gen. Woiseley and Lord Airey pre- fer the line of Khbojak, the Government is bound for the present to maintain the occu- pation.

Pull Mull Gazette, Sept. 1%. ‘The facility with which a divorce may be. obtained under the new Swiss marriage law is causing some discussion. Notably, Prof. Ernest Naville has devoted several pages to the subject in an article in the Bibliotheque Universcile, publishei at Lausanne. Under the new law, which came into force in’ 1874, the formalities accompanying the solemniza- tion of n marriage are cut down to the lowest possible point. When both parties are 20 years of age notonly is it unnecessary to ask the consent of the parents, but it is even unuecessary to gequaint them with what Is going on. ‘The bonds of matrimony being so lightly put-on, it follows—at least this is the theory—that they should be Nehtly. put off. It is not necessary, it would - seem, to find grounds fora divorce. It a couple agree to demand it, the cause is as good as gained, the law having the power to de- clare a divorce whenever “the continuation of the common life is incompatible with the nature of marriage.” ‘This vague condition of things is not made better by the provision that, if none of the enumerated grounds for divorce, exist, still, if the conjugal bond is in any way seriously prejudiced, the courts of law can pronounce for divorce or separa~ tion. This is called “deplorable legislation.” So it may be, so far as the facilities for di- yorce are concerned. ‘The untruth of the assumption, however, that facilities fommar- riage promote facilities for divorce is obvi- ous. The two things have nothing to do with each other, as many an unhappy wanderer beyond the Tweed and Cheviots has in earlier times found out to bis cost. Where the Swiss marriage law is defective is in its failure to protect the interests which mar- riuge tends to create, Here it is out of har- mony with the common sense of things, and therefore in error.

Williamson, of the Dispatch, Special Correspondence of The Chicago Trilune, SAN Francisco, Cal., Sept. 25.—It was the aft- ernoon of a bright suusbiny day when a party of ten left the colebrated Litton Springs fora trip to the Californie Geysers. We wera a hap- py party of students and others bound onan excursion for mutual joy and instruction; and as our four-horse team, guided by an expe- rienced driver, dashed away from the spacious hotel, every hoart-beat responded to the glorious scone which Nature on every side unfolded. Our road Jed six miles across the most beautiful and picturesque interior valley of the Golden State, and the elements of great agricultural wealth and prosperity were everywhere apparent. The air exhil- arated like champagne. The ficlds _shone resplendent undera thorough cultivation. Beautiful residences, surrounded by flower- beds, and shaded by great trees, followed each other in quick succession; and the waters of Russian River and the adjacent streams flushed like molten stlver in the sunlight. Grand old oaks, with intensely dark-green foliage, and festooned with Spanish moss, stond out like draped statues on the landscape; and the mistictoe-buugh, hanging in globe-like forms from branch and trunk, recalled the old, old song: ‘Tho molstietoo bung in the castle-hall, ‘The holly-branch shone on the old onk wall. It was the Russian River Valley in all its soft and picturesque grandeur,—a valley of surpass- ing loveliness, sweet as the vale of Rasselas.or Avoca,—a little Paradise of Nature, furnished with all the natural beauty the Earth can com- mand. CROSSING THE MOUNTAINS. | Tho plain led up to the foothilisand mountains like a vestibule to the altar of a saint, The level spaces were narrowed into ribbons, and then lost sight of altogether. Across guiches and caiiuns, close by deserted quicksilver mines, up and down inclines, over bridges and trestle- work, along brooks and streams, we hurried along; and continually, #8 wo ascended, the views became finer and more sublime, On one | the distant mountains and tho horizon; while ou tho other the serrated summits and barren orests, towormg aloft fn their pristine grandeur, were scalloped round as if sky and earth were dovetailed together. The lower ridges were thickly wooded with sycamore, alder, fir, madrona, manzanita, and other trees and shrubs; and Mt. St. Helena, with its bands of shifting colors and cap of pearly-gray, showed more magic tints than the famous landscapes of Claude or Turner. How the road narrowed 23 we ascended! How the cafions deepencd! How the coach wheeled round the precipices with only a fout to spare! How we looked below and shuddered with fear! How we looked aloft and were filled with awe! It was about 5 o'clock when we came to “the drop.” There are said to be thirty-five sharp turns tothe road, and a descent of nearly a thousand feet to the mile. We held on to our seats and held our breath. Down the grade wo flew like an avalanche from the high Alps,—now passing through dense thickets of underbrush; now shut in by arches of. vines overhead; now on the edge of a blue gulf hundreds of feet in depth; now sailing around curves as if doubling our own track the lenders dashing madly, the wheel- horses holding nobly, the brakes burning hot, } the driver stolcally indifferent,—until at length we galloped through the toll-gate, rounded to in front of the hotel, and we were at the Geysers, WE VISIT THE GEYSERS. We left the hotel at half-past 5 in the morning. Our numbers of the preceding day were now nearly doubled by the aidinon. of a party of Scotch tourists and others; and, as we passed through the gate, every cye was turned intently toward the weird-like spectacle in front. We had for our guide a garruious old fellow, whose memory served 25 a sort of an encyclopedia “for all kinds of mineral theories and facts, and who, with bis curiously-shaped head, -his rickety suit, and stout manzanita club, was scarcely less an ob- jeot of interest than the great Geysers them- ‘selves, Each one being supplied with an alpen- stock, the line of march was Indian-file across Piuton River to_the mouth of Devil Cafion, thence up the cafion to the Devil's Pulpit and Lovers’ Retrent, and back by the way of the Devil's Tenkettle to the hotel. The trip, like the name, was suggestive of the lower regions, and, as we advance, all our preconceived ideas about the Geysers faded away like snow in the sunlight, or like the cool breezes of the morning under the influence of the Geyser heat, Thero wero no thick columns of water Shooting far into the air, such as are found in Iceland and the regions of the Yellowstone, but on every side was a Volcanic area, with springs more wonder- ful than the German spas, and with scenery ‘as romantic as is found atnong the Sierra or the Alps. Piuton River, which we crossed soon after lenving the hotel, runs wrough Pluton Cation in its course from the mountains to Russian River, into which -It empties. Heading up toward St. Helena, the presiding genius of the entire Geyser’ region, the stream makes the bea descent ina series of curves and rapids, aa falling over the rocks In creamy foam. and re with a luxuriant vegetation of ferns, lichens, and arching trees, its course to the plain below is marked by pictures of sylvan beauty and grandeur. Towards the source, and before the waters have-become medicated by the vari- ous elements in solution below, the stream is one of the best for trout in the State; while be- youd the hotel, a natural reservoir being formed, withs are enjoyed which rival in luxury the famous ones of ancient Rome. IN THE DEVIL'S CANYON. Following up the banks of Pluton River a short distance, we soon found ourselves at the mouth of Devil's Cafion, aud into this we co- tered. The path became narrower and wilder. ‘The airwas thick with sulpburous smoke and guses. ‘The rock was hot and scorching. A hundred springs or more were about and before us, und. each emitting the peculiar scent of the minerals which it contained, there were odors more varied than those ascribed by Coleridge to the City of Cologne. There were cold springs, and springs bofling-hot; springs flowing ere- water, and springs tlowiog pure binck ink; some acidulous, some tasting like Jemonade with the sugar {eft out; some with iron and alum, some with sulphur and . magnesia; some quiet as a piicid pool in the sunlight, some bissing and seething like the water in an engine-boiler. It was the ceasc- less agitation of a multitude of solutions from 8 great chemist’s bands; it was a phenomenon in Nature which has not yet been adequately explained. Soon after entering the caton we found ourselves in the Devil's Office, an apothe- cary-shop where the various salts of different elgments were thrown around in interminable wreck, and where the subterranean rumblings and shaking of the curth gave evidence uf some mighty commotion uuderneath. Notfar distant was the Devil's Lukstaud, with contents as black ag the Tartarean Gulf; the Devil's -Grist-Mill, from which steam escaped with such force as to blow away our canes from the aperturé in the rock: the Steamboat Gey- ser, puffing like an Ohio River steamboat passing over the Beaver Shonls; the Geyser smokestack, rolling outclouds of steam mingled with acidujous vapors and smoke; the'Devil's Arm-Chnir, x chair-sbaped rock where one of the Scotenmen. with a chattering tongue, for a short time appropriately sat; the Devil’s Punch- Bowl, with drinks far too hot even for the average pioneer: the Devil's Canopy,—and the devil only knows how many other great wonders besides. "Perhaps the most wonderful sores we saw, and the one best known to the world ut large, was the Witch's Caldron, near the upper end of the cafion. The path leading up was as crooked as the manzanita sticks which we car- ri ‘and as sippery, and slimy as it could be made by the mixture of boiling water, softrock, and a varied multitude of chemical salts. The . spring is about seven’ feet across, ‘and; said to be absolutely unfathomable Jt has been sounded tothe depth of 1,200 feet without bottom being reached. The water js violently agitated in consequence: of escuping steam. und its black color aud villain- ous smeil are accounted for by Prof, Whitney as follows: The iron held in solution comes in contact with water holding sulphureted hydro- gen, when un ink-black precipitate of iron takes place.gThe spring is symbolicol of ceaseless activity. It bubbles, and boils, and hisses, and seethes until the spectator is irresistibly remind- ed of the “hell-broth” in Macbeth: “Double, double toil and tronble— Fire burn, and caldron bubbie."” ‘The Geyser photographer was the gentleman who accompanied us with his camera on ourtrip from the hotel, While we cared little for photographs which, at the rate of $10 per dozen, paired of our faces and figures with an entire cation of crumbling glory, yetatillcame the artist, silently and patiently, under the weizbt of bis cumbersome Joad. In front of the Witches’ Cnidron we halted, and were arrunged in x group. Wesst upon the rocks; we stood in the water; we winked as we pleased, and looked straight abead. The plate was in and the cloth was off. Just then a breeze —sent by the witclfes, as the Scotchman said— enshrouded us in steam so dense that photog- rapher andcamera alike disappeared from our view, and with spattering and coughing the or- deal'was over. The negative produced was Moorish Meals.

We were then 1,950 fect above the level of the distant Pacitic, and a good 20 feet above the hotel. It was a scene Of Burpassing beauty and power which burst upon us from this wild and deserted point, and we lingered long in admiration of the mighty Fnepect which opened out beyond. Overhead lonted a flag upon which was painted the de- mon-like form of the patron saint of the Gey- sers; and. as it waved to and fro in the breeze, a welrd-like sensation had possession of the spectators underneath. Om our right was a branch of the cafion we bad just lef and dreary and deserted it continued upward in chaotic splendor until it was blended with the hills beyond. On our loft. sloping away from the base of the rock upon which we! stood, was another cafion,—a cajion througt which a cool stream glided sylph-like over its bed of varied r and whose luxuriant vegetation was in strauge contrast with the desolation we had just escaped. Aldor, pine, pepporwood, willow, ant other trees with dark-green follage crowded each other in endless protusion, and the ferns and maidenbair fairly reveled in their, suprising: ‘beauty and enormous growth. It was a cafion of trouble, disease, torture, almost deatn, on: the'one side; it was a cation of joy, peace, health, and ‘life, on the the other. ' Behind us on every side were mountains, towering. aloft until sky and earth seemed to join, and presenting a background ot such etheral soft- ness asto remind us of some fairy landscape of aucient story, something tender and sublime beyond geuius or description. In front, tn full Jength and perspective, was the Devil's Cafion, falling off to Pluton River in wild and majestic. grandeur,—its sides bedecked with salts and rocks of every conceivable color, und ita hun- dred springs or more sending upciouds of steam like banks of fog rolling in from the distant sea, The elements raged. The rear was terrific. The earth trembled. Everything was ghastly, super- natural, infernal. It was ag if the crater of Vesuvius, with its painted sides, and scorehi: heat, and sulphurous gases, bad been transfe: from italy to the Golden State, and Nature was then preparing for another-of those mighty outbursts which should overwhelm the sur rounding world. We tarried and _ listened. Sounds like the rumbling of grist-mills, the hiss- Ing of steam-engines, the dashing of trains, the growling of animals, the roaring of thunder, and the bubbling of caldrons, rolled up from the depths in strange and discordant harmony; and the chorus of the elements was like the music of some mighty underground orchestra, never ceasing and uneartblv, and wild and mournful to the soul. Our guide burried us onward as the mountains began to appear through the steam beyond the caiion and the hotel. ‘Ana when we {eft the scene. as the morning sun was passi beyond the eastern horizon, when knoll after knoll was marking the earlier day in bands of | suiting colors on thelr well-rounded fides and tops, when the shadows were disappearing from Pluton Cation, and the splendor of the rising rays was penetrating the solid substance of the mountains themselves, then it was that the view from the Devil's Pulpit ranked among the d= est productions in the great picture-guilery of Nature, and took unto itaelt a meaning of whose sublimity we had not before drenmed.

Glimpses at. the New York Mining Exchange—The Men Who Have Made the Money. Sketches of Some Successful Operators —McCormick, Dorsey, Chaffee, Elkins, and Shaffer. From Our Own Correspondent, Wasnrraton, D. C., Sept. 30.—The Boreel Building, in lower Broadway, is the “Honest Stiners’ Camp” of New York City. The mon- atrous ‘structure itself resembles a mine, with its ramifications, shafts. cross-cuts, and the like. ‘There are dens and deus in it, and there stands at the door a Cerberus fn policeman’s uniform, who may serve to keep the peanut-pedalers aud the Sheriff's officers from harassing bankrupt speculators. As I entered the build- ing the other day, this guardian of the specu- lators’ comfort inquired the name of the person It ig not difficult for a resident of Washington to find some person in that great earavansary with whom he is on cal-:ng terms. A basty glance at the enormous builetin-board enabled me, at a hazard, soon -to find a name. Wandering aimlesly through this vast building, the first person that I met was “BILLY” COPELAND, fora long time 2 Washington correspondent who {gs now devoted to mines and mining. Pointing to a little office in an adjacent corridor, the windows and doors of which H covered with a great varlety of gilt-lettered signs, the old journalist said: “There are a great many dens {in this building, but the only honest one you will find is there,” pointing to the one occupied by himself. This confidence in one’s perzonal purity haa the peculiar flavor of Washington Hfe about it; and, by looking at the signs, I diswovered what may be the reason of the honesty of that particillar “den.” There was nothing to sell in it. except’ @ newspaper. It was a little corner occupied by a mining editor’s desk, and, of course, an honest eye may look at the most rascally operations. ‘That, probably, is what the mining editor has to do agreat many times a day in New York, ‘Turning down to another corridor, the first famillar face encountered was that of “RILL" SHAFFER. Shaffer ia well known in Washington and Tll- nois. The last [ heard of him was as a success- ful mining specufator, whose: operations had been rewarded with a large fortune. Over the entrance of his offices there was no inscription, “Let him who leaves this place leave old be- hina"; putit was evident that gold and silver bad beon left there. The precious minerals lay upou the table,upon the mantelpiece, on the floor, and iu the corners of the room, in masses. of rock, quartz, and carbonate, resemblingsome- what the howlders that’ were being used in making the repairs on the streets below.” No pent-up Utica constrained his powers. Afost pecimers were frum Maine and Vermont. “ Yes," said Shatfer, as he turned from some books he hud been examining witha ing some attention now to mines in Northern New England, There ig a great deal going on there now, and it is much nearer home, you know, than Col and New Mexico.” “But is not the mining business pretty well “No, indeed,” sald the successful operator,— “ mining i3 only just beginning; but some days there are more Bonunzs, hel there. are on__ others.’ ot of King, who rebuked a journalist for stat- firm was worth 360,000,000, wht Fiood said, ‘We are not worth together more than halt that.’” ‘An hour spent in the Boreel Building enables one to gather consideruble information as to the persons who have made money, or who are ‘by the street to have made money, in the great mining movements of the last two years.

There was immense excitement throughout. Spain, and especially in Madrid. That the an- ticipated baby was to be a Prince was universal- ly understood, and the etique@§ of the Spanish Court forbade any one to {utimute in the most distant manner the possibility that it wouldbe a Princess. Long discussions were held as to the mame of the little stran- ger. The King insisted that. the heir should be named aftet all his relatives, the proposed names amounting in the sggregate to thirty-seven, The Queen consented, but on the condition that the Prince should also be called Rudolph, Albrecht, Franz, Wilhelm, Josef, Karl, and eighteen other assorted German names. Fora long time it seemed probable that a permanent domestic quarrel would be the ro- sult of this discussion , for the King maintained with much show of justice, that no Spaniard could ever pronounce the German names of the Prince, and that his loyal Ministers would prob- ably be strangled on the attempt to pronounce them. Finally 2 compromise was agreed to, and a selection of forty-five Spanish unmes was de- eided upon and duly entered in the King’s mem- orandum-book. In the meantime the loyal Spaniards were making elaborate preparations for the recep- tion of the Prince. Eighty-seven members of the Cortes handed in pin-cushions with the device,“ Welcome, little stranger,” though, of course, the motto was couched in the ic Castilian. The Prime Minister gave a bicycle, the Minister of Foreign Affairs sent in a pair of skates, and the commandant of the Madrid garrison gaye a beautifully ornamented base- allciub. All the Spanish ladies of any emi~ nence sat upall night week after week to em~ broider juvenile shirts, trousers, and jackets, and every shoemaker of any enterprise made a special pairof boows for the Prince, and then putover bis door a sign bearing the legend, * Bootmaker to his Royal Highness the Prince of the Asturias.” It estimated that $75,000 worth of presents of a distinctively musculine type have been sent to the Palace since the ist of June last, and these presents were received by the King and Queen with the greatest grati~ tude and enthusiam. ‘The eventfulday atlast arrived. The Prime Minister, who had been sleeping for a week in the back kitchen, so as to be hundy in case of an emergency, was aroused at 2:80 p. m., and, ters and eminent grandees were summoned by the District Telegraph messengers, and rmsved to the Palace in but haste, and they were assem~ bled in the front parlur, woere waey were sup- plied with gingerbread and !emonade.and six consecutive and very tedious hours, etiquet forbidding them to read newspapers or to em- ploy their tine in any way except by looking at the family photograph album and the Spanish Patent-Office reports.
