A TERRIFIC BATTLE WITH A WHALE. Raleigh (N.C.) Observer special, from More- head City, March li, says: “On Tuesday there was the most exciting and dangerous whale fights that has ever occurred on this coast. It was with some difficulty that the captain of the crew could get his men to obey orders. When the first bomb was fired into the whale it failed to explode, but it made the whale furious, and he struck ‘one of the beats and knocked it some feet above the water. The captain then fired another bomb. This also failed to explode. The fight was still get- ting more furious. The third bomb was fired and exploded near the heart. the monster. The blood spouted about ten feet high, and as the crew rushed up to stick their lances in the whale the blood fell in showers upon them and thelr boats. The fight was witnessed by another crew_stationed abent seven miles above them. The wh:le Was forty-two feet long, and extremely fat. The fish Will probably bring about $4). THE CZAREYNA OF RussIa—a sister of the Princess of Wales—had not met her husband, the Czarvitch, for eight months. The Czare- vitch was on his way by train to Dunaburg. The Czarevna planned to meet him there by surprise. An onlooker gives an animated de- scription of the same:—Though courteous to all, the Czarevna is evidemtly nervously im- tient for the arrival of her husband. She as not much. longer to wait; all at once the shouting outside begins, her face becomes ra- diant, and, Wwrappin herself in the magnifi- cent rotonde ot ‘biue fox fur, she hur- Hes 2 the plationa, rare renewed. harrahs and clamorous cries of jo" ir eyes are red] globes of the ap- eagerly fixed on the two proachin engine—there is a shrill whistle, much puffing of steam, and the train rolls slowly into the station.

Then, like a roar of thunder, burst forth deaf- ening’ shouts, mixing up with the national ymn. Mrs. Bowen, the most popular actress in California, narrates a singular Sxperienoe, which recently happened to her in that city. She says that she was eating dinner, when some one tapped her on the shoulder and a voice said: ay am J. W.
