Conyerse, who was of the class of 1880 at West Point, was one of the two young officers wounded last July near Prescott, Arizona, in a skirmish with the Apaches. The wound de- stroyed his right eye, and the bullet ts still un- extracted, but his general heaith is nearly re- stored. It will be remembered that his wound- ed brother officer, Lieut. Morgan, officiated as groomsman at his’ marriage, and ‘was himself married two weeks later to Miss Brownson, of Omaha. They are now at his parental home in Minnesota. His wounded arm and also the fiesh wound in his side have healed. Much sympathy was felt for these two gallant young officers, whose experience 80 early in their career was 80 severe at the hands of the redskins. Representatives McLane, of Maryland, and George, of Oregon, are fellow members of the Committee on Commerce. It is a noteworthy fact that Representative McI.ane was chairman of the same committee in the Sist Congress, be- fore the birth of Representative George. The parlor decorations of one of our leading hotels has been enhanced by the addition of a spinning-wheel, ready for use, and the three- legged chair, so familiarly accompanying that useful instrument in days gone t is more than probable that this is the last wheel that the attics of old Maryland homes can furnish, since the field has been, in the past few years, industriously gleaned for so-called “decorative” purposes. Mrs. William Drinkard, whose home has been one of mourning for seven years, haying lost two sons during that time, is brightened this winter by the presence of her young niece, whe has come from Boiton, Mississippi, to pass it with her.

Mrs. Ricketts will give during Christmas week a small dancing par.y for her fifteen-year-old daughter, charming Miss Dalsy Ricketts. Rear Admiral Gore Jones, who was attached for awhile to the English embass y here, has been retired from the British navy, and his wife and himself are now living in London. Mrs. Jones’ health has much improved since her re- turn from India, where Admiral Jones was two years in command of her Majesty’s naval forces. Mrs. Senator Pendleton’s informal Monday evening receptions are one of the features of the season, and a revival of last winter's brilliant- ness. Miss Lillian Pike, the only daughter of Gen. Albert Pike, who has been so much of an invalid for two years, is able to appear once more among her friends, and to enter somewhat into what is going on in the gay world. She has also resumed her music, having few peers as an amateur performer on the harp and piano. Mr. Charles F.

At half past eight of a June morning, says @ writer in the Woman's Journal, the pleasure of our company was requested at the Vassar Ob- servatory by Prof. Maria Mitchell. We knew her love of mathematical accuracy, and at half past elght precisely we ascended the observatory steps. Here we were met and hospitably wel- comed by our hostess. She is a woman in the sixties, with a distinguished face, whose strong lines are softened by her beautiful white hair. Her dress and manners haye in them the mem- ory of the Quaker plainness into which she was born. For nearly twenty years Marla Mitchell has been the presiding genius of the Vassar 4 COM as commencement day itself, has come the “dome party” for the students of her depart- ment. One never finds her in finer mood than when hostess of the dome. First and foremost, Maria Mitchell is an inter- esting woman—original, stimulating. Her racy talk is free from cant or conyentionality, and often gives the listener an electric shock. Her spirited salytation imparts the impulse to con- versation. Her surroundings are at onée the chief topics of our talk. The parlor in which we find ourselves is curiously divided between society and science. Behind the railing at one end stand the chronograph and the solemn side real clock. Between them, in the yine-framed | window. 1s a bust of Mary Somerville, presented to Vassar college by Frances Power Cobbe. Two tall book cases contain a friendly crowdof books from Leplace's Mecanique Celeste to the lest yolume of Longfello Here 1s a picture of Humboldt tn his study, there some astronomical cups and saucers, each adorned with an astrono- mera portrait. The vines in-the windows sway gently in the still June morning. On one side we look down into a quaint little garden, with a suggestion of the old world sleepiness and quiet. Here grew the first roses and the last chrysanthemums. From the opposite windqw we see broad rolling lawns, and beyond the distant Catskills. But the last guest has arrived, and breakfast is announced. We form in line, lence being regulated hy the years of graduation. U; ‘a flight of steps, chrough heavy baize doors an we are in the dome itself. Over our heads the gzeat equatorial telescope points silently heaven- ward, Itselfa work as marvelous asthe wordersit reveals. The tables are set in acircle round the dome. At each plate isa rosebud, a card with the name of the guest and a tiny photograph of the observatory. I shail always belleve that strawberries have the flavor of a new variety when eaten with surroundings s0 unique, aad that the chicken croquettes could have been furnished by no com- mon barnyard fowl. And yet the essence of a dome breakfast is not that which tickles the palate in any literal sense. It is when the plates are removed that the Sone pgs really begins.

A murder trial which is destined to be one of the celebrated cases of criminal law bas been proceeding during the last fortnight in Brus— sels, and has been followed with eager interest throughout Europe. Two brothers, Armand and Leon Peltzer, are charged with murdering Guillaume Bernays, under circumstances as intricate as one of Balzags plots. The motive for the crime was jealousy, the malign center of attraction being Madame Bernays, with whom Armand Peltzer was passionately in love, if that | honest word can be used at ail in a recital of unutterable baseness; and the most re- markable feature of the case was the ascend- ancy of a strong mind over a weak one, by which Leon Peltzer was prevailed upon to leave his business in New York, masquerade in a series of disguises in England and on the Continent, | fit up a secret chamber in Brussels as aminiature armory, and firally murder his brother's victim | there, without having any personal motive for | so hazardous and detestable acrime. This sub- Jection of the brother's will to the superior in- telitvence of Madame Bernays’ lover seems | utterly unaccountable when the additional facts | are borne in mind that the murderer, after es- caping from the chamber of horrors, was re- quired to announce the crime to the police, and that his victim had been his benefactor. M. Bernays was a successful lawyer, devoted to nis profession, acute and judicious in settling disputes outside his own liousehold. persevering and laborious in his methods, mercenary in. his His wife was as flighty and sentl: e disposition. mental as he was hard and practical. might be a good lawyer, but in the estir tion of his flighty, excitable imaginative wife, he was a cold, stupid, downright com- monplace husband. ‘She fancied that he did not appreciate her social graces and intel- lectual qualities, and he was at a loss to un-| derstand why she was dissatistied with him. | A year after their marriage. when, owing to Irequent quarrels, they had agreed to live apart | although under the same roof, and to remain on | only the most ceremonious terms, Armand Pelt- zer arrived from Buenos Ayres and engaged the lawyer's services in behalf of his Armand Peltzer had become a constant cuest at the Bernays mansion, having won the friend- ship ef the husband and the love of the wife, and having suceeded on several occasions in restoring peace in the household. He was an engineer by profession and a man of force of character, dignified presence and social ac | plishments. “The plodding, unsocial, prosal | lawyerwas a foil to this elegant and sympathetic | carpet knight. Immersed in business cares, un- suspicious by nature and indifferent to the | whims and ideals of his capricious wife, he did not break off relations with the man, whom he looked upon as his best friend, until the gov- erness of his child repeated to him the gossip ot the household. He then forbade Armand Pelt- zer to enter his house, refused to receive letters | ion him, and paid no heed to a challenge to a uel. Leon Peltzer at this time was a clerk earning | @ pittance ina New York house. One day he | recelved from his brother in Antwerp a mys- | terlous proposition which he answered by send- | ing a cable message containing the words “*Rob- ert Fulton.” He sailed for Europe, and after | Tewaining in England, France and Belgium un- | der various names and in numerous disguises, | hired a +uite of rcoms in Brussels. Returning to London he wrote to M. Bernays over the siz- nature of Henry Vaughan, inclosing a retainer of $100, aud asking for a confidential consul- tation in these chambers. The lawyer, easily trapped, was shot with one of a’ chvice assortment of pistols purchased — in London and Paris, and apparentiy tested by both brothers with a special view to noiseless- ness. The blinds had been closed, the curtains drawn and all other precautions taken to deaden the sound of the pisto! shot, and the murder had | been committed without attracting any atten- |tion. Leon Peltzer effected his escape from ; Belgium without exciting any suspicion that the name he used was an assuined one. As for Armand Peltzer, he had taken pains to remain at Antwerp and to provide himself with ample | evidence of an alibi. If revenge had been his | sole motive he would have sent his brother back to New York in one of the many diszuises recently assumed and have allowed the police to work up at their leisure the case of anyste- | rious disappearance in Brussels. But his was a jealousy which was eager to obtain the prize | after the hated rival had been removed. Madame | Bernays must find out without delay that she | was a widow and free to bestow her affections upon himself. The death of her husband must be explained in such a way as to silence gossip- mongers and to divert suspicion from himself. Accordingly the accommodating Leon was pre- vatled upon to write to the authorities under his assumed name and to acqnaint them with the melancholy “accident” which had occurred in his chambers, where they conid find the body of M. Bernays. The result was that Henry Vaughan’s handwriting was identified as Leon Peltzer’s and the brothers were brought face to face in prison. Their trial has not vet been con- cluded, but their own mother has virtually con- | victed them by the exclamation: ‘Two sons, two murderers! Armand has abused Leon’s weak- ness, and all for that woman!” 2 ————— An Editor Gets Heavy Damages, A telegram from New Crleans, December 16, says: The famous libel sult of M. F. Bigney, editor of the New Orieans City Item, against Watson Van Benthuysen. president of three street railway companies and a wealthy capital- ist, was clo: to-day. The sult grew out of a card written by Van Benthuysen and published in the Ecening Slates, in which Blgney is spoken of asa scoundrel and a liar. The suit has ocen- pied the attention of a Jury for a week, in the civil district court. before Judge Rightor, and to-day the jury decided in favor of Bigney, awarding him $12.585 damages. The past record of the two principals to the suit was pretty | thorongly overhauled. Van Benthuysen put in witnesses to show that Bigney had cheated at cards, and Bigney sought to prove that the tormer had robbed the confederacy, of which he was an officer. In cross-examination Van Bet thuysen said he had no desire to hide anything. but he was sure no citizen would desire his evi- dence to come out. He was placed in charge of two boxes of specie, which he conveyed on the train of wagons accompanying Jefferson Davis | at the close of the war. The money was dis- | tributed among the men at various times and a | portion of It he retained. It was not intrusted j to him, as he was given fullcontrol of the money. He Keot this to aid Davis on his trial, and he turned it over to the person for whom he in- | tended it. Van Beuthuysen had applied fora new trial, mainly on the ground that the presi- dent of a rival street rallway company had stocked the jury Bad Reports About King Kala®fana. An American resident of Honolulu, who has long been in business there, ina private letter to a friend gives arather discouraging account of commercial and political affairs in the Sand- wich Islands. “The King,” he writes, “seems to have bin dazzled by his reception by the crowned heads of Europe, and now only thinks of making a figure in the world, regardless of the cost to the taxpayers. He has put in office a ministry of no character, which the whole moneyed interest of the islands cannot but op- pose. The revenues are being scattered broad- cast. The King is very unpopular with the na- tives, who generally favor Queen Emma, widow of Kainehameha IV. The Americans have the largest interests here, and have opposed Emma on account of her leanings toward England; but asthe King now seems to be opposed to Ameri- can interests, the foreigners may hold offand let Emma and her friends take charge of affairs, If affairs are not soon gotinto shape and the of reciprocity is not renewed business will be in a bad way, and we may find ourselves an Eng- lish colony.
