The Durdeit-Coutts Marriage—Hlanlan’s Achieve- ments in Boat-Racing. Spectal Carresponaence of The Chicaco Tribune. Loxpox, Feb. 17.—The sensation of the hour 15 the practical acknowledgement by the Gov- ernment that it detains andopensprivate letters passing through the mails. Several prominent Irish members bave for sume thme hud good rea- sons to suspect that their communications with their adherents were being “tepped” by the autboritics. The other nizht, Mr. T. D. Sul- livan, from his seat in Parliament, asked the Home Secretars point-blank \shether nny of her Majests'sotlicials were at présent empowered to open and read for purposes of stite private Jetrers sent through the post-ofiices of Great Brimin and Iretind. The Ministerial reply was explicit enough. It was, that the Sacretary of¥State hed such a power by virtue of an unrepealed statute made forty years azo, ‘us that it was desirable, in order not to badie the ends of justice, that the House should not press the Government to answer yea or nay such aquestion s the one put by the Honorable member. There was little need to exvlain—it was added with the apologetic vagueness of of- ficiaidom—that a power of so exccptional a character would not be exercised by the Crown except ja case of ** vrzent necessity. Tam told that the Land-Leazuers became sus- ‘picious in December last that their correspond- ence was SUBJECT TO SCRUTINY IN TIE POST-OFFICE. A few test letters were immediately launcheds ‘and the result was, that these Euspicions were confirmed. If rumor speaks truly, I am afraid the staid officialsat Dublin Castle were sadly mys:- tified for sume time afterwards with bogus com- munications which practical Jokers of the Irish party placed in the post: but. as many of these Tniled in their object, not one letter in ten thou- sand beinyr opened, and the officials acquirine in time a tolerably true scent for genuineand fu correspondence, the zame grew stale. Afrter all it may be questioped whether the Government Eas gained much real intormation by means of 1his procedure. As soon a5 the members of the TLeague were put cn guard against the new dun- ger, they employed special couriers for tho con- vevance of important communications. The time they were first apprised of whatgvas going on, was. as 1 have sud, in December; and, §0 far as inquiry has shown, it is pretty clear that they were ten days bebind the Government. But ten days is a Jong start to gret of an enemy, £nd mischief must have been done in the inter- val. Some of the supporters of cuercion— though the fact has not yet got into the news- pupers—believe the Government s in possession of photographs of ietters which it bas inter- cepted, and which were written by members of the Land League and others prominently connceted with the Irish land ation. When a letter is sealed, it is the most diflicuit thing in the world to tamper with it in Such a manner as 10 escupe uttention. Still, the postal oflicials are skillful enough to open and close leiters switbout leaving any trace which would arrest o careless eye. Impressions are taken of the seals, and, when it is considered practicable, these are removed. and the envelope ufterwsrds opened by the steaming process. Should the seals offer too much difficulty, 1 am told that the envelope 1s carefully slit with a deficate steel instrument, the trace of which ean only be followed with the help of a maguifying-glass.

A5 f there hud not been sad proof, on several memorable occasions of late, of the ineflicient condition of the British army, A YVOICE OF WARNING has gone up from an unexpected authori Gen. Sir Frederick Roberis. being the lat *lion,” was invited tu tbe Mansion ilouse to artake of & great ciiy’s hospitality. Heac- nowledged the compliment by breaking through the routine of a1 good Mayor's banquet, and turning an aster-dinner speech into a grave denunciation of the system of our national de- fense. It was a novel etlect, but his abserva- tions are deserving of the most serious atien- tion. They were not the utterances of a General epologizing Tor bis tailures, but of a commander flusbed with the recollection of recent victories. Nooflicer who has made such brilliant use of her military forces can. without awakening general alarm, tell Coglund that the instrument 50 carefully devised ana maiotained at so much «cost 18 likely to break in the bands of those who have bereafter to depend upon it. To Gen. Rob- erts theso defects are so grave that, if they are indefinitly prolonged. the English army ssstem must end *in failure. diszrace, and disaster.” The short-service systems, and the destruc- ton of regimental esprit-de-corps, are the causes working to this lamenta- ble end. As to the first, recruits for the most part enter 2 regiment because they prefer it, and once in a regimeat soon learn to love it. “What is asks Gen. Robeits, “that bas enabled n comparatively small num- ‘ber of British troops over and over again tofuce tremendous odds and win buttles ngainst vastly superior pumbiers?” And he answers, * Disci- ‘pline, esprit-de-corps. und power of endurance,” —the three essenatiuls absolutely wanting in a young soldier. The object of makmy men irained soldicrs, with a veneration for the tradi- tions of the remiments to which they belong, is defeated if, tueir services having been secured, they are dealt with as machines. The hero of Afghanistan _is equally cmphbatic in bis con- demnation of the short-service <vstem as of the breaking down of the reximent: regiments of siort service m: 3 thn mere recruits should be dratied lor active service. Officers and men reich their desting don unacquainted with onc another. As during the recent Afghan war, the *boy regiments’ are unable 1o bear exposure and fatizue. an they soon break dawn. Gen. Koberts did not pe forw his splend d march f: o Cabul toCandnhar With 2uy Of these - ooy regrunents” in bis train. The three regiments selected were old troops, upon whose discipline, svirit. and endurance he could rely: and, except with such troops as these, no commander would have ventured upon the task. The average service of the private was between seven and nine years: but Gen. Roberts points out that *Sucha retura as this it will be quite impossible ever to prepare again, If the short. service is pe: Q demnution of short servis ecno of the opinion of alm pert, except Sir Garnet Wolseley, is of value. _But there i3 another lesson which the Imperial War Office of the United Kingdom has yet to Jearn. Therecent reverses in XNatal are elo- quent of its nceessity. Count Von Moitke, the oue ginnt military genius of Europe. says the greatest kindness in waris to bring itto a Speedy conclusion. * [t should be aliowable with thut view,” he says, if 1 remember accurately, *to employ ali methods save those which are abso- lutely objectionable.”™ THE INTRODUCTION OF BREECH-LOADERS ‘has made u complete change in military tactics, —an fmportant truth which the military autbor- ites in Palt Mall seem entirely to ixnore. It has been well said that someof the most enllani feats of arms ever achieved by English soldiers would bave “veen sheer impossibilities ngainst an enemy cquipped with this weapon. The lnst charge of Mulplaguet, the scrumble up the crags at Rorica, the dash across the plains ut Sala- ‘manca, the exploit at Nivelle, would have been untold stories in mi annals had England's aatagon:sts on those tieids been armed like the Boers at Laing’s Nek. Even the battle of Alina could never have been won as it was against the fire of breech-loaders. An authority in the of military criticlsm writes on this sub- ect: *Should England be so unfortunate as to e juvolved fn 2 Europenn war before she has Tully taken to heart the full significance of late events, some terrible reverse may be in store for ber. It would matter very littic whether the Eoldiers whom she sent to certain denth were short-service or long-serv ‘The nfle is ns: and the best soldier wore a uniform would be no maore able than the sickiiest oy in the regiment 10 et the destructive power of thet weapon at defiunce. Something more, therefore, is re- quired than improvement in the quality of her en, though, from all uccounts, that secins to be equired very much. If the bavonet-caarze, in- /scparnbly counccted 8s it is with tho British grmy. o mot o be mbundoned, the artuckin: rce must be Iarge enough to outlast even the fire of breech-loaders.” g SIR GEORGE COLLEY 1s having & bad time of it st the military clubs, where his conduct of the Transvaal campaign is mercilesly criticised. Even his fricnds scarcely know what to suy in his favor. The only thing urged in extenuation of his amazing rashness is. that he bas never before been engraged agninst & white aud civilized foe,—the iittle active gervice he has scen clsewhere than at the Cape having been in China in 1880, and on the Gold Cosst in '74. Still, his bovk-knuwledze ougnt to have saved bim from some of hi¢ ditliculties, for be was a distinguisbed pupil at Sundhurst. THE RICH OLD BARONESS bas married her young lover at last. The cere- mony was consummated without any outward display. Up to almost tho hour fixed for the puptial rights, no one knew where the marringe would * tike place. The sccret was so well guarded that a crowd was kept away from the cburch, and in consequence only the nearest friends of the bride and Yridegroom were preseat. The singular part of it is, that the ceremony took place wrere every one might bave expected, at Baroness Burdett-Coutts' own hose opinion 4 apocryphul, I presume—arc flonting ubout. licre is a very good one told by u correspondent of the Amertcan Register: [t is well known that the octogenarian bride is Tond of distribut- ing tracts. When, not long agoa Belglan bri- gade was over here visiting, she invited them tq her residence, Holly Lodwe, and presented every mnn with 1 teact and a cigar. * How kind of zo Indy,” remarked one of tho brave Brabanters who did not comprehend the nature of the pub- lication given him, “not only to geef usze smoke, but to provide also ze papalre for to lidoe ze cigar vid.” « Just a word about THE GREAT BOAT-RACE, the result of which is so extremely unfinttering 1o the national dignity. To beat Hauolan now would be to uchieve for oneself the urentest glory in the nnoals of bort-racing. Woen and where a foeman can be found capable of ¢x- tendini the arms and legs of the invincible Cu- nadian, is a problem which 18 puzzling the whole sportmyg world. There scems 1o beno doubt, since his vietory over Lnf cock on Monduy, that beis the most accompiished sculler who hns everappeared on tha ‘Thumes, or ‘ndeed any other water. All previous notions of good row- ing have been_upsct by this chumpion of the champions. He bus clearly demonstrated that the ¢ which may be got_out of a boat is not dependent on the numberof times tho sculls are drawn through the wwuter, but_upon length of reach, quick recovery, and # gystematic use of the unll-essenuinl slide. In Monday's mateh, when Haulan gave such —startling proofs of his prowess, Laycock was striking as many as forty &irokes a minute, while his opponent was comfortably taking his boat slonz half-a-dozen longths ahend, never exceeding thirty-two, though cach stroke was. drawn through o the end with murvelous clean- liness and finish. Unquestiomably Lavcock is the best oarsmnn Hanlan bag met in this coun- try: and yet, after the first few hundred yards, when the Cianadian had sertled down to his in- imitable stroke, it was evident that the power- ful Austrulian was doomed te toil after bim in in. Notwithstanding these tactics, the first Syou will long since have learned by 1s covered on a slack tide o 4 minutes ceconds, or at the rate of over twelve miles an hour. ‘The stake which the Canadian wonin this race Is the richest ever rowed for in England. e has now won the English championship chal- lenge cup three times consecutively within tho gpace of two years, £o that according 1o the con- ditions under which it was presented the hund- some trophy becomes his absolute property.- In addition to the cup, he secured tho stakes, $2,500 a side, besides $300 promised do the sculler who should be fortumate enough to win the chal- lenge cup rizht out, una a gold medal valued nt over $L%, commemorative of bis achievement.

The present unhappy condition of affairs in Peru foreibly recails contrasting circumstances, that came under my observation some yeurs ago, when the vessel (the Saginaw)on which I was an otlicer came to anckor under the lee of San Lorenzo Islaad. in the Harbor of Callzo. The Peruvians were then fn great glee at their recent victory over a Spunish flect, whose ves- gels were formidable opponents, but neverthe- less powerless to cope with the batteries on the shore. - We remained in this port fificen days, & portion of which time the Saginaw was Iying be- tween the United States flagship Laocaster aad the Euglish fiagship Leander. while nearer the share was anchored the United States double- ender Wateree. Hundreds of vesselsof all na- tions occupied tke bay, conspicuous among which were the beautiful war-steamers of the Peruvian navy. all of which were destroyed last month by the Cbilians, whose flect, with neutral vessels, now entirely occupy the bav. During our sojourn in this peaceful barbor, 60 well protected by the islands ana the peninsula from flerce south winds, nothing happened to disturb the serenity of our surroundings, which were truly welcome after a rough pussage from Penama. Leaving the latter place at daylizht Aug. 15, we * crossed the line” on tho I8th, where, instead of the hot weather which is gen- erally understood to prevail in this locality, we experienced quite the reverse. In fact, it was 80 cool that blankets were required at night, and overcoats in the daytime zreatly contributed to our comfort. After pussing the Equator, the sen became more boisterous and the wind more chilling, until within two days’ sail of Callno. Instend of fiocks of sea-gulls, which usually follow vessels in the Northern Hemisphere. we now bad the beautiful and graceful Cape Horn pigeons souring ahove us, which keptus com- paey uatil we rounded the Horn and pgain neared the Equator by the Atlantic. The Bay of Callaois formed by the Island of San Lorenzo, which is separated from the main land by & narrow passage of water. This Island is now the prison of nearly 3,000 Peruvian soldiers captured by the victorious Chiliuns; while the shores present a sickening spectacle of the hor- rors ot war, human débris greeting you atevery turn,—the mutilated remsains of the thousands of men that were strewn thercon not huving been yet entirely removed. These remnants of mortality will not remain long, however, as the great vulture of the Andes is watching from hights all robed in snow, cotval with creation, the putrefying refuse of this nether world; and his keen giance, always surveying the surface of the earth, will not be long in discovering this dainty prey. The vulture of the Andes deserves more than & g glunce. Soaring fur above tho thunder-clouds this ravenous bird eails along, but never stoops bis wing unless at the cail of hunger, wien be is lured from his home in the dark vine beavens and descends from his dizzy hights. The wonderful history of th vuiturz of the Andes rivals that of griffins and dragons _in lictitious attributes ana extrava- gunt cxapggerations; and legendary lore ascribes to it wonderful ntmospheric disturb- ances thut once burled avalunches from the mountains and buried villnges below. The City of Callno was plainly distinguished from ti:e Bay, with its volutnes of smoke from fuciories and_machinc-skops; but these uro silent now under the stern rule of martial law, while starvation and death are confronting their victims almost as rathlesly as the sword. Like a1l commercial citles, the water-front of Calluo .presented a vast seene of bustle and contusion; 1o-day it. is the bustle and contusion conse- queut upon war. A short distance from the principal landing is the raflroad-depot, near which stands the castle, containing_tho arsenal, ‘which is still safe and sound. in ¢pite of tho efforts of a demorulized populuce to destroy it, oy had the vessels of the Peruvian na i3 demoralization of u people ally so or- derly seems inereuible. as Spanish courtesy never forgets itself. even in a frenzy.

A buge swellof tho sea then overwhelmed the ehipplug in the barbor and the greater portion of the city in instuntancous destruction, und Janded the frigate nearly a_mile from the siore. On voth eides of the roud are seen pluces rendered historical by events which occurred at the time of the conquest of Peru by Pizarro; amony which are churches, convents, und gar: dens founded by the adventurer. Fields of corn and grain, orchurds of peach-trees and other fruits incigent to o Temperate Zone, welcomo the eye of one who has long¢ been accustomed to bunanas, oranges. and other Tropical produc- tions, and who has been oblized to consider ap- ples and peaches as unattainable luxuries. Arriving in Lima, 1 found the streets rather narrow, but lined with fine stores and _buildiugs of elaborate construction, many of them denot- ing great antiquity. The style of private resi- dences is peculiarly attractive,—the entrances betng through * wide-nrched gateways of stone, whose sides are ornamented with frescoes, many of them of great size. and generally jllustrating I} religious subjects. Passing throuzh these, the front-doors are approached through gardens, or court-yurds, often contuining fountains and statucs. and surrounded by halconies covered with spirals of tropical bloom. The dwellings are furnished in the most sumptuous manner,— the floors being covered with carpets of richest desizgns, and the walls bung with costly tapestry and iugniticent paintins.

The ladies who have formed the Soclety for the Prowmotion of Cleanliness have received un- other letter from Mr. H. M. Lune, a mcchanical engineer, tormerly ot this city, but now living ih England. Tuis communication, which is dated Fel. 16, is us follows: “ Yesterday 1 called on Mr. L. F. Fletcher, Chief Engincer of the Manchester Steamn-Users’ Asso- clution.

As often as the black tire burns bright the opposit one is re- Plenisbed, ind so on. Ay *It wns found on the whole that with round conl the highest duty was obtained by the *coking’ sytem of firing, and at the same time the least amount of smoke was produced, though the adoption of ‘side’ firing appeared ot advantage with siack. Probably both systems might be bad recourse to, and with suecess, ac- cordtng to circumstances. < * Fires, also, of various thicknesses were tried —viz.: six inches, nine inches,and twelve inches, ‘when it wus found that the thickuess of nine Inches gave a better resuit than six inches, and twelve inches than nine inches, so that the thickness would have been increased still further had the size of the furnace permitted it. “ Added to this fire gTates of ‘various lengths were tried, when jt was found that one of tour feet gave a more ecouomical result then one of six feet. though it hardly gencrated so much stenw. * It has been a very vexed question which is the best part of the furnuce for the admission of ajr above the durs tocomplete the combustion of the guses,—some .advocating its admission at the door. others at tho bridge. Both these piuns were, therefore, submitted to test, und it was found that there was little or no practical dif- -ference between the two plans, and that a alight when it was found that with u fire grate four feet in fength nearly ten pounds of water could be cvapornted per pound of conl,—150 indicated horae-power per hour realized by the boiler, When the six feet firo grate was adopted nino and one-quarter pounds of water Wero evap- orated per pound of fuel, and about 130 indi- cated horse-power obtained from the buller per hour. These results are without tho nssistance of u feed water hedter. .+ . w Although we suceeeded In preventing smoke without any speciat uppuratus, und simply with the proper use of the shovel, coupled with tho admission of a litle air above the bars, yet it wus thought desirable to try the effect ot other means, nnd therefore Mr.D. K. Clark's steamn jets were applicd. This apparatus, though very successtul in preventing sinoke, did not roalize a higher economy or speed with round conl than simple hand 1iring, but when *slack’ was used it wus somewhat superior in economy, but more soinspeed. . . . “¥rom the foregoing itwill bescen that i this series of trials we have tuken into consideration tho best wode of firing, whether with round coul or slack, with thick fires or thin, with long burs or short, the best point for the ndmission of uir, aswell ds tho comparutive advantages of me- chanienl and band firing; also tho result of forcibly injecting air among the gases by means of steam jets. . . o “Fhough these trials may not be exhaustive, 1t hus been found that smoke may b2 prevented, whether fiving mechanically or by band, without any special nppliance, or when the combustion Of the guses {8 assisted by driving in currents of air by jets of steam. I think these triais fully estublish the conclusion that the smoke nulsunce udmits in all cases of considerable abutement, and in most of total removal. As already stuted, the only diiculty is in_those cmses whero the boilers arc overtasked, and these, it would ap- pear, could he assisted by mechanical feeding or the uscof tho steamn jet apparatus, while in muuy of them tho difficulty could be met by re- setting the boilers, or renewing the chimney so as to iprove the draught, or ut all events by aduitionul boiler power. h satlicient boiler power the smoke question is settled. . . . * 1 cannot conciude these remin without calling attention to the great intluence of care- ful stoking simply on smoke prevention. These trials have proved how much depends upon tho proper usc of tho shovel. George Weeks. who hasired the boilers throughout this series of experiments, takes nn_interest in his work, and constders stoking higprotession. In this way I think it should be vigwed. Firing isan art and shoutd be treated as Such, and not as a slapdash, random process, which -any untaught laborer can nccomplisn, L'o & great_extent our smoke producers ure the stokers. Educnte the stokers in their part and smoke will be prevented. They should be instructed fn the first instance bow to firc_without producing _smoke—be stimu- lated to constunt caro by a finc on fail- ure and o premium on success. If | steam users were united o the movement tho question would soon be scttled. A stoker would then fequire n diploma of compelence us a *smoke preventer’ before obtaining it post, und his livetinood would depend upon his Sklll._ The question, aiter all, is not une entirely of science. As soon gis thie public became sulliciently edu- Ccated on the subjeet to denand tho suppression of tho nulsnee, and stokers are placed in their proper position, smoke W shed. Tho question I us_tuch 1 s0¢ nitic one, and to exbuust it fully one must travel into other fields than those of material science only. But ., this I leave to other hunds, though I cunnot nelp expressing tho hopo that these experiments will prove a step townrd suppressing the smoke nui- sunee, and thus of prowoting o most important sucitdry and social reform.” ——————— SOME CONDEMPLATIONS.

A prowminent State officinl bas two benutiful and highly-accomplished daughters—Miss Kute and Miss Jennie—both of whom were well and favorably known in society. A carringe-trim- mer who lived hard by .was ussiduous in bis at- teations to Miss Jeniie, the vounger, and mat- ters hud progressed so fur that an engagemont wis entered into witk the consent of the father, and ull thearrungzem#nts were made to celebrate the nuptiais lnst evening. Cards were out, pres- ents were selected, and congratulutions had al- rendy begun to arrive. Suddenly and without explanution the invited guests were notified thut the wedding hud been indefinitly post- pouved. The regsons therefor hove just been made known. On Taesduy Miss Jennle went to ber room and found lying on her dressing-cnse a note addressed to er slster in the handwriting of ber afflanced. With u woman's curlosity she opened and reud the note, and was rendered al- nost fusane to tind it the full detalisof en ar- rangement. for ber sister Xate to mect the car- rlage-trimmer at the residence of aminister and have the murringe cercmuny performed that oveaing. Hustening to the parior to confront her sister, she learned that 3liss Kate had gone out 2 short time previously. Miss Jennie begun immediutely to muke preparations to xo to tho minister's, but they. were interrupted by the ar- rival of the carriuge-trimmer and his very new wife, who guve no other explanution for their conduct than that * it had been intended from the Hirst.” They then repnired 1o the residence of the carriage-trimmer’s father, where they still remain. Misa Jenunic was prostrated by the unexpocted blow, and now les at the polat of death from an attack of brain-fever. THE WORLD'S FAVORITES Y’ dours!
