MACKAY'S STEPDAUGHTER. A telegram from Portland, Oregon, says: The story of the life of Eva Bryant Mackay, who re- cently became, by marriaze with a titled Italian, the Princess of Colonna, brings to light some strange things. I have found one of those characteristic "49ers who, in the days of Miss Mae! poverty, mined in Sierra county, Cal- ifornia, He is Tom Jordan, one of the gold- Pocket hunters whom Mark Twain so grapht cally describes. Said he in a recent interview: “Miss Hungerford, Miss Mackay’s mother, when I first knew herin 1855, was a very prett little gir! of only 12 years, who lived at Good- year's Bar with her widowed father, Major ungerford. He was a Louisiana creole, and spoke French and Spanish fluently, as did also he child. Hiss Hungerford grew ‘prettier as she became older, and at length became the ac- knowledged belle of the mining town, Offers of marriage from wealthy miners, storekeeper-, lawyers and men of other callings were refused, until one day the girl_met Dr. Bryant, a dash” ing young man of 26, trom ‘the neighboring exinp of Downiesville, it was a case of matual love at firstsizht. In less than a year they were married. A yeur later the doctor died from blood poisoning, contracted while making an autopsy In the case of a young woman said to have been poisoned. “Meantime Eva Bryant was born. Dr. Bryant, who had followed the western way of living, le.t his young wife and child in very stringent circumstances, and a Baneot $700 was sub- seribed for them, and Mrs. Bryant took up her residence at Virginia City, then in the heyday Of its prosperity. There’ she met John W. jackay, who became the wealthiest of all the anza kings. It's strange. isn’t it, that little Miss Hunger- ford, who used to trot about barefooted among the rouzh miners of Goodyear's Bar. is now the leading and wealthiest American lady in Paris, and the fatherless and destitute baby, Eva, 18 the Princess of Colonna?

PATHETIC INTERVIEW WITH THE OLD CoM- MANDER—A FAREWELL MESSAGE TO OLD COMRADES. A farewell message from Gen. Grant to the soldiers who fought under his command was dictated by him last Thursday to Lieut. A.J, Holbrook, of G. A. R. Post No. 68, of Boston. Lieut. Holbrook called on the general, in com- pany with A. Howard Walker, of Cineinnatt, publisher of the Grant memorial, soon to be issued, and who desired to present the general with an album containing the autograph of the first fifty subseribers to that work. Lieut. Hol- brook says: “We found him sitting in his arm- nair and he arose and received us cordially. liv expressed himself as greatly pleased as the tribute from his friends f Cincinnati, and the j is eyes when he said som for doubt that he spoke from his Souvenir Is so beautifully conceived.” id, ‘that Leannot sufficiently express my plewsure at receiving it. “He arose and took me by the hand and sent ‘o the Boys in Blue, tobe delivered to them at the annual encampment in Portland, Me.,in June.

Wash. Dispatch to the St. Lonis Globe-Democrat. When the Secretary [Bayard] told him that, above ail other things, he must steer clear of a public reception by the Persians, Judge Hanna, for the hundredth time, looked puzzled, and, for the thousandth time during the week, said to himselt, “Well, I'm €—d.” The Secretary explained: Several years azo, when the Persian mission was created, a man named Benjamin, of Obi was sent out to draw the a year and look after the m ries. Persians wei delighted over the recognition giyen them b the United States government. To have a resi dent minister was magnified by them intoa high Mr. Benjamin was met outside of un and conducted into the city with all remony of a great procession, there were camels and elephants and triumphal cars enough to outfit a score of modern menageries. Mr. Benjamin was banqueted and feted in grand style, After a time he settled down to the humdrum routine ot hearing missionaries’ stories. One day a diplomat waiked into’ the lesation nick Ww Mal politeness presented astonished er a bill for the proce ment given him, ‘The s footed up over $6,000. Poor Mr. Benj min received the account, and, with’ forced composure, told the diplomat it should receive attention.’ He got the legation together and sked for advice. Nobody could respond. Perhaps the unfortunate’ minister over the bill. Probably he pr it. Undoubtedly he” wished never left Ohio. At length, in despair, he forwarded to the State department the ter: rible document. There was more consultation and liberal abuse of the Persian idea of hospl- tality. The upshot was an appropriation from the contingent fund, taking the greater part of it to pay for Mr. Benjamin's reception. For the rest of that year the department was run with due regard to the fuct that this Persian investment necessitated reduction of incidental expenses to the lowest possible figures. ‘he secretary told Judge Hanna the whole story, and, in concluding, said be trusted t the new minister would now appreciate the imperative necessity of @etting into Teheran without an escort of elephants and camels, and that he would, with Jeffersonian simplicity, decline tobe made a lion by the Persians at the expense of his own government. ~eee Buddensiek Mortgages. From the American Architect. The Sanitary World offers a warning to per- sons who are in the habit of advancing money on mortgage to builders without examining the structures intended to secure the loan, which derives additional emphasis from the recent fall of one Buddensiek block in New York and the enforced rebuilding of others, which is now going on by direction of the building bureau, In the English case to which the Sanitary World refers a builder of the Buddensiek sort of work erected in London two houses, the work- manship of whieh was far trom satisfactory to the district surveyor, who complained against him for using bad mortar, and had him fined for the offense, and ordered to change his method of building forthwith. The builder took no rotice of the order, but completed the houses ready for occupancy, and then managed fo obtain, as builders Kiow how to do, a large loan upon them, giving a mortgage in return, "The" ‘Met@politan” board ot Works, whose mandate he had disobeyed, had in the’ meanwhile, however, instituted ‘le proceedings against him, and obtaining a ver- diet, with the necessary authority from the court, it proceeded, after ordering out the oceu- pants, todemolish’both the houses, and with them’ the security of the unfortunate lender, who had really bought the houses ata high price from the builder, without troubling himn- self to inquire about defects which, as it proved, made them worse than worthless. The Sani: y World, while deploring the success. of the ick by which the rascally builder shifted the consequences of his misdeeds upon the inno- cent mortgagee, points out that the latter, by taking the precaution to inquire of the district surveyor as to the character of the houses, mighieasily have ascertained that they were not only defective, but had been actually con- demned, and ordered to be taken down, and would thus have been warned against throw- ing away his money in a loan upon them: and truly says that notwithstanding the hardship to the mortgagee his want of prudence should not be allowed to interfere with the public wel- fare, which unquestionably demanded the destruction of the buildin; oe A Change in Theatrieal Audiences. From the London Standard. The change that has come over theatrical au- diences of recent years is very remarkable. Plays which were once accepted with enthu- siasm are no longer tolerated; incidents which awakened emotion now provoke only derision. There is no doubt that in former days audiences were more simple-minded than they are at pres- ent. They were more ready to do what children call “make believe,” to accept in good faith what was obviously artificial. To bring about the unexpected appearance of some character whose presence Is sure to create effect has always heen favorite deviceof the play wright, and formerly this character had only to appea and the effect. was created; but nowadays ad- talrers Insist upon its being inade plain to them that the character has been brought to the spot in a natural and readily explicable ay. On Saturday afternoon” Mr. Toole produced an old-fashioned play, which was once popular throughout England der the title of “Dominique the Deserter.” Toa modern audience the play seems childish, though there wasa time when it affected auz diences. Not long ago Mr. Hollingshead revived ety several old-fashioned dramas, relies of the palmy days, “The Castle Spectre,? and others. ‘They were’ quite seriously acted, but to those who saw them they appeared al” most as comic as Sheridan’s “Critic” ought to be, and is when properiy done. Yet it is certain that “The Castle Spectre” once thrilled the bosoms of those who saw {t,and that nothing In the slightest degree comic’ was perceived In it. “The Hunchback” was lately put forward at the Lyceum, but to the indignation of old play- gocrs Whom had onee deeply moved, It wis scoffed at as artificial, and had to be promptly withdrawn. The heroine was, perhaps, in her acting as artificial as the play in its construc- tion, but it is not conceivable that any acting would make the comedy acceptable now. - eee Superti Words Expensive. The Language Club, taking fora text “Thou Hast Damnable Iteration,” discussed the super- fluous words used in English rhetorle in Hamil. ton hail, of Columbia college, New York, Mon- day evening. David Dudley Field began with the Constitution of the United States, which, he suid, contained two flagrant instances. One was in the clause thatcontained the words that the President should appoint “by and with the advice and consent of the Senate.” If the Sen- ate advised an appointment, Mr. Field said, that implied their consent to it, The other in- stance was in the clause, concerning the pow of Congress to all “necessary an roper” laws, for if the laws were necessary they were, or course, proper. "Mr leld dwelt regretful upon the failure of the legislature to pass his code doing away with Las poetry words in legal documents. In the ordinary deed of trans- fer, he said, there were nine hundred and fifty words. of which eight hundred and sixty were superfluous. In the ordin: mo! form there were one thousand five hundred, of which one thousand two hundred and forty were su- mous. P for recording deeds and m Mr. Field said, ten cents per hundred war There were recorded in New York di month six hundred and elghty-eight and seven hundred and eighty-eight mi “Te my code had been adopted,” sald Sir.

Since October last we have taken the trouble to cut out the record of each case of accident at football that we have met with in the papers, without, be it noted, any special search. The following is the result: Oct. 10, at Eaton, Mr. W.

The game requires reform; we say reform, be- cause we think it would be unwise, and on the whole undestrable, to follow a recent American proposal, and demand its prohibition in our schools, —____-+0+. — A Flying Fish in the Schuylkill. From the Pottsville Chronicle, Wednesday afternoon, while Peter Heckner and F. A, Heineman, of this borough, were fishing in the Manatawny creek, in the vicinity of the P.S. V. R.R. bridge, they observed a queer sort of a fish spring from the water and fly through the air for a considerable distance. When it landed in the water again young Heckner quickly struck it with his fishing rod, which stunned it, when Ed, Guest, a lad who was there, was prevailed on to swim in the Lfeteh it out, which he did, and a most nderful creature it appears to be, being a Yeritable flying fish, having legs as well as wings, That hight ‘the above-named party brought that fis to the Chronicle office for in- Spection. It is about 10% inches long, quite stout towards the head, very: much resembling acutfish In general appearance, but instead of @ smooth, slimy skin, has scales, small but harsh, The wings, which grow out from be- neath the gills, are three or four inches long, and appear and feel much like bony feathers, But the strangest things about tls its legs and feet—one on either side, beneath the end of the Jaw, just in front of the wings. They project downwards bout two inches, and each have three long toes. They are very slim, closely re- semble the legs and feet of little chicks; they are not web feet. The nose and mouth is cut square off and 1s very peculizr. In fact, itis a curiosity well worth an examination, eee Talk ofa Washington Merchant. F. A. B. in Philadelphia Times. John M. Boteler, one ot the best-known mer- chants of Washington, andI think a native there, was on Chesnut street yesterday, I asked him how the boys were getting along down there under the new administration. “Everything moves along slowly. dent has not yet announced any appointments, except that of Judge Merrick,” said the genial Johnny, and then, like all Washingtonians, he began to talk with pardonable pride about’ the beautiful city he hailed from, how splendid it looked with its myriads of trees full of green foliage, its parlor-floor streets and neat gardens in front and around the residences. “Shepherd ing from Mexico in July,” sald Boteler, ind we will give him one of the greatest ova- tlons a private citizen ever received in_ this country, for to him is due the magnificent appearance of the city.” ir, Roteler is a democrat, but not a bigoted one. He is one of the few of that political faith who stood by Shepherd in his effortsto beau- tify his native town, “We are not treated ex- actly right down there,” he said. “We do not have the right to vote, but we ought to have the right to choose whiogver ts to be appelnted to office.

A BOY WHO GAINS HIS SIGHT CANNOT TELL OBJECTS EXCEPT BY TOUCH. Henry McRea, fifteen years old, has been blind from his birth, and ix a pupil at the state institution for the blind at Romney, W. Va. At the recent meeting of the board of regents the attention of Dr. J. R. L. Hardesty, of Wheeling, who isa member of the board and a specialist in diseases of the eye, was attracted to the boy by seeing him frown when the rays of the sun fell on his eyes, and after a thorough examina- tion he announced his belief that the boy's eyes could be operated on so as to enable him to see. He was affected with double congenital cata- ract, and,while his optic nerve was unimpaired, it was shit out from the rays of light. A room was thoroughly darkened’ and he ‘operation Was successfully performed. The boy's eyes Were opened, and, the light being gradually ad- mitted to thé room, he became accustomed to it by degrees, and last week he was sent home tohis overjoyed family with as keen eyesight ag any of them. The case was a most interest- ing one. Young MeRea had become so accus- tomed to obtaining all his impressions of the outside world by other senses that at first. his sight was of no use to him. The most familiar objects were not recognized until he could touch them. He did not know a key from a book by the senso of sight alone until he be- came familiar with the difference between the two objects, ~—_____4@¢—______ Mer Broken Ring Told Her Husband’s Death. A case of death warning came to light by the announcement, last week, of the death of F. W. Christie, first officer of the barkentine E. A. Sanchez, of Baltimore. Mr. Christie lived at No. 333 north 13th street, Philadelphia, with his wife. On February 10 his vessel sailed from Hampton Roads for Rio Janeiro with a cargo offiour, Mrs. Christie's wedding ring had been brought from Rosario, South America, and was of peculiar make, being composed of six gold bands twisted fantastically together. While sitting in her rooma few rsafter her hus- band’s departure, late one night. thinking of him, the ring suddenly snapped in two with a loud noise, xactly at that moment her hus- band met his death. A letter received by her from Capt. Fooks says that the weather was bad after leaving the Roads, and steadily grew worse, until on February 16 it blewa hurricane. About midnight the vessel waa in such a peril: ous position that all hands were required on deck. Without warning a furious blast threw her on her beam ends anda high sea poured over her starboard quarter, staving in the bul- wark part of the cabin, carrying away the bin- nacle, a boat, Mr. Christie and two seamen and severely injuring the men who were lashed to the wheel. ‘The whole affair took place so sud- denly that the men were not heard to male a. single cry. Mr. Christio had been married only ayear,and had in that time been with his wife only three weeks. —— Worse than Lady Macbeth.
