——T F DOWN THE JAMES RIVER. Lots of Interesting Things to be Seen Between Richmond and Norfolk. ‘From the New York Sun. Noxrorx, June 8—The idle summer tour- Ist, looking for “associations” as he loiters here and there finds many along the line of the James river all the way from Hichmond down to Newport News, which faces Norfolk. The Scones along the shores are also full of Interest, and will prove a novelty to those familiar only with the Hudson or the St. Lawrence. The physiognomy of the landscape and the general * characteristics are quite different, for with every mile passed over the traveler feels that he isadvancing farther and further into old Virginia, It isa land of the dolce, and a good deal of the far niente. You forget the haste of thenorth and the rush of the west. The Vir ginians are a different people from anyhody else, and seem to think that life was made for enjoyment rather than worry. _An indescriba- ble something hangs about the figures seen on the landings which {s not seen elsewhere, and the present, with its bustléand enterprise, has Bot yet done aw with the old leisurely past. Ifyou are fond Ofsuch things make the ac- maintance of Captain Gitiord, of the steamer an old sailor Who has been all over the and is the oracle of James river. He pointed out to me the historic spots, and made What would otherwise have been a prosaic Journey an excursion into antiquity. Some of These localities are well known, others are not. or travelers from the north now or hereafter visiting Old Point Comfort, via Ricbmond, a few items cou: these points may be in- teresting. On the left bank of the river, just below Rich- ™ond, is the estate of Powhatan, on a gras: hill, Where Smith and Newport visited the en perorin 1607, and near which may still be Seen ina rock On the shore the imp tie footsteps, about five feet apart, known those of the god Okee, as he mad through old Virginia, There is nos « that the steps were his; 11 there is, anybody can satisfy himself, as the marks are still there. Farther down, on the right bank, stands Amp- thill, the home of Archibald Carey, who was a famous man in the revolution, and called Old Iron for his resolute character, if not from the fact that he had an iron foundry near his house. Amptbill isa fine specimen of old Virginia architecture, and I remember visiting it in the civil war, and admiring its quaint carving and cornices. A little lower—passing over Drury’s Bluff or Fort Darling as too painfully modern come toa locality which is among the mi teresting in Virginia, the site of the old town of Henrico, the second settlement in Virginia, made four years after the founding of Jame town. The river here makes a remarkable | bend, for, after winding around for se n miles it comes’ back to within about one hundred | ards of the point > the bend begins. In | The neck of tits loop. was built the eltseof Hene Tico or Hensicus, and a palisade was erected from river to river in front of the town, with another two miles long at a little distance fron it, also from river to river—the object being defence from Indian attack. The city was a considerable place for these good old times, for d a church, a storehouse, guardhouses, a se for the governor and no leas than three streets—a hundred feet beneath which now Passes the steamer Ariel. « This feat is eflected by means ofa ship canal, becun by Sir Thomas Dale in 1611, resumed by federal troops in 1863 or 1864, and finished then or since, so that now the passage is easy for the largest ships. It is rather curious as we pass swiftly through the opening, with its ab- Fupt cliffs right ‘and left to feel tht once a city rose in the aira hundred feet above, and that there busy old Virginians, Gov. Dale and the Fest smoked their pipes and took their ease ina spot far above the smoke stack of the steamer. ‘There was also unother interesting resident of this ancient city of Henrico—no_ less a person than Pocahontas. She married Master John Rolfe after her romantic sffair with Capt, John Sinith, who was, supposed to be dead at the time, and as Rolfe had a plantation near the town, Pocahontas must often have visited it, especially as it was the residence of Sir Thomas Dale, who had labored long to convert her to Christianity, in which he sueceeded. Her one child, Thomas, was named after the knight, and was probably baptized by the worthy Mr. Whitaker, parson of Henrico, and called the “Apostle of Virginia,” the scene taking place, no doubt, in the church here, standing where the saip canal passes through.’ Rolfe’s planta- tion, where he raised the first tobacco in Vir- ginia, was at Varina, just below, and the site €an be determined without difficulty, as it at the old Henrico court houseya spot still eas; ‘W ascertain. ‘The trend of the shore here is beautiful, and it is not to be wondered at that Rolfe and Dale preferred to live in this lovely region instead of he malaria-breeding vicinity of Jamestown. ‘The fields stretch away from the margin in perennial beauty, grech with wheat or summer foliage. Behind are the bluffs rising above the Jevei low grounds; and if the traveler is an im- aginative person he may please himself by clos- ing his eyes and fancying the younz wife Poca- hontas wandering over the grass and under the trees with her boy, one of whose descendants ‘was to’be John Randolph, of Roanoke. Accord- ing io the chronic!es of the time, she was happy with her husband Rolfe, who is described as a “disereet gentleman of much commendation:” or, at leas have the testimony that they “tived civilly and lovingly iogether.” It is said of her, also, that she “loved her child dearly;” and unless her detractors in modern times can go behind these and other statements, the char- acter of Pocahontas as wife, mother, and Chris- tian woman must remain Irreproachable. Here dnd tivere are seen good examples of old Virginia homes, but not so interesting as Shir. ley, lower down—time out of mind the home of the Carters, one of the oldest and most respect- able of Virginia tamilies. It would be sufficient to illustrate them to say that Gen, Lee’s mother ‘was a daughter of the house—literally, I think, Of the Shirley house, too, as, if I am’ not mis- taken, she was born here. Shirley is a beautiful place, rising from the bluff of the river on the lett. It isso well eared for as to look modern, though it isone of the old- est houses in Virginia. A pathway leads down the grassy slope to the bank, overshadowed by trees, and as the facade appeared and disap- peared through an opening of the foliage a white handkerchiet waving from the portico made a iriendly salute to some one. Nearly opposite is Bermuda Hundred, the third town established in Virginia, It is sti important landing and a thriving lecality. Be- Yond is City Point, a name familiar during the War. Some melancholy monitors may be seen there, as though stranded, with their white awnibgs shading the decks and guns, and offl- cers afificted, it is said, with ennul, so'that toll ing their bells by way ‘of salute as'the steamer Ariel passes is a relief to the dull hours of the summer days. From this point the current of the James river, swollen by the tribute of the Appomatox, widens suddenly and assumes the proportion ofa narrow arm of the sea. ‘The banks, fringed with trees before so near, recede into’ the dis- tance, and you feel_that you have entered the true old, Virginia. This was the land of the first planters who were induced by the beauty and rtility of the country to make their homes here. “ The great estates of old times all, or nearly all, clustered along these shores, and mauy of the localities and houses bear the same ames they bore nearly 300 years ago. Among these is Berkeley, which the old-time Virginians called Barelay, as they call Derby Darby and clerk eiark. "It was the scene of the niurder of the good Geo. Thorpe in the Indian Massacre of 16: when, in return for all his benelactions, these children of nature left him. Ising dead abd mutilated across his threshold. ferward Berkeley came into possession of the Harrisons, an old and honorable family, of Whom sprang Gen. Wm. Henry Harrison, who Was bora at Berkeley. Shirley and. Berke are thus connected with two historic perso: ages—Gen. Robert E. Lee, who bore in person & Marked resemblance to the Carters, and Gen. Harrison, who added to his military distinetion the civil honors of the presidene: A few miles from Berkeley, till upon the northern bank, stands Westover, the ancient seat of the Byrd family, illustrated in the ei teenth century by that’ brilliant wit and ele gantold nabob, Col. William Byrd, the author of “Mertone’s MSS.” He was oné of the most splendid figures of that time, and may be taken &s the type of the eighteenth century planter— Was wealthy, handsome, famous. and. aito- gether must Have enjoyed himself, His por- trait is still preserved, and he is buried in the garden at Westover beside his young daughter =velyn, who, itis said, died of & broken heart. The legend 15 that on & visit to Europe a youn Lord Peterborough fell deeply in love with he but he was a Roman Catholic, and her fami would not permit their union. In consequen of this disappointment he ne a priest, it is said, and she pined away and soon slept in the garden of Westover. ‘The old house is one of the most attractive on James river, and stands immediately upon the bank, The ancient front gleams through foliage ‘With its rows of windows and home-like portico and itis not difficult to fancy wandering over the fresh green sward the splendid figure of the famous Col. Byrd. in kee, powder and silk Stockings, and the slender fori of his beautiful daughter Evelyn, whose portrait hangs beside sown. On the right not far off is Flower of Hundreds, galled in the old records Fleur de Hundred and Fieurdiea Hundred, for what reason it would probably puzz'e anybody now tosay. This was # famous old spot, inhabited, as I anrinformed by Capt. Gittord, by the st. John family, a fact I was notaware of until he assured me of it. A little further is Brandon, the present seat of the Harrisons—like Westover, a fumous place, quite celebrated tor the charming hospitality of its Occupants and for its distinguished guesis. The mansion is ancient, and possesses great aitrac- tions, but it suffered from vandalism in the war. Beyond this, with the exception of Weya oke, another fine old house, there are few ob- ectsof interest until the steamer passes James- wn—as to which it Is not necessary to say much. The sole traces now of this first settle- ment of English people in America are the ruins Of the ancient chureh whieh rose on the founda- tions of that burned by Bacon. The site of the town was on the neck connecting the island with the shore; but the river has swe) of donbt over this and is slowly advancing to engulf the ruin. itis a pity that this should be, for in all North América there {s no greater historic landmark.

J. Esren Cooxe. ———+e0_______ A Woman's Flying Machine. THE LADY AERONAUT MAKING AERIAL NAVI- GATION EASY AND SAFE. From the N. Y. Sun. Mrs. Carl Myers, of Mohawk, N. Y., better known as “Carlotta,” the lady aeronautist, has lately obtained letters patent on several devices pertaining to acrial navigation, She says she believes that the day is not far distant when people will navigate the air as readily as they now plough the seas, A recently patented fix- ture is attached to a hydrogen gas balloon, and consists of a collapsical cur, comprising the rud- der piatform which hasearried her on over 150 Yoyages in space. This platform, surrounded by hammock netting and supported by an ex- pansion hoop connetted to the balloon by cords, is described as somewhat like a light boat on water, and tips or changes its plane or level with every dillurent position of the aeronaut stand- ing upon it, either through alteration of the cen- ter of gravity of the entire air ship or through the shoriening or lengthening of the netting lierations in the level of this plat form convert it into a rudder like that iu the Stern of a boat while tife balloon ascends, and when descending the lower or advancing edge of the platiorm guides the balloon in any diree- tion, Just as would a paddle or oar extended from the bow ‘of a boat—thus the balloon dc scends towagd any side of the platiorm which e depress by stepping upon it. ple an ceedingly effective apparatus is covered by one claim of the patent. Resting upon the expansion hoop of the ear is A crank shait of 4 screw propoller, composed of a cloth sail, which twists into screw form as Soon us the shaft is turned, and creates pewer- fal currents of air flowing rearward, and. depress, or deviate the course of any attached aerial body, or give it steerageway for guidance by wrudder. ‘Tuis apparatus spreads tive feet across, moves as easily as a lady's fan, and folds up as Compaetly as a parasol, At the rear is a kite-shaped rudder, composed of a large square of cloth stretched upon four arms, jointed by a common pivot In the center. ‘This is attached to the car by one arm through a@ universal joint, permitting the rudder to Qecupy any desirible position in horizontal, Vertical, or inclined plane, so that a single rudder thus performs the work which has hith- erto demanded both a horizontal aud a vertical yudder, either separately or in, combination. ‘This.apparatus either acts to guide the balloon during its natural ascent or descent, or the aeronaut at willean give any direction to the airship by revolving the propeller sail toward any point, or by projecting the air flung from itagulust'the surface of the rudder Kite, ‘The apparatus can perform a greater varicty of evolutions than a bird’s wings, spreads more surface than any bird or other aerial mechan- ism, weight for weight, and has the ability to create at any time a wind for its own sails, and can yet furl Its wings almost as suddenly'as a The apparatus has thus far proved of great practical service, and demonstrates that a. com- mon balloon may be readily moved up, down, oraround in the air by a man’s unaided efforts— or rather, by 4 woman’s efforts—and on landing be relievéd of danger of dragging. ————— +00 —___ And Mr. Hare Helieved It? From Studies in Russia by Augustus Hare. Mr. Morgan, a much respected Englishman atSt. Petersburg, * * * was very fond of bear-, hunting on the ice, but there was one bear so ferocious that no one would venture to go and Killit, Atlast Mr. Morgan persuaded three peasants togo with him. The hunters wear long boots on the ice, fastened to pieces of wood several feet in length, and the wood is on roll- ers. {Here Mr. Hare must be thinking of snow- shoes, Rollers would be no use, for the simple reason that the ice is generally covered by some two or three feet of snow.] ‘Then they stride ont, and away they goat fitty miles an the hour, Mr. Morgan was rushing tins along fee, and the peasants after him, when out es the bear. He fired, and the animal fell. ‘Then thinking the bear was mortally wounded, he discharged his other pistol, and immediately after the bear jumped up and rushed at him. He had given his knife to one peasant and his stick to another to hold, and when he looked round, both [sic] the peasants had fied,and he was quite defenseless. In his boots he gould not turn, he could only make a circuit, so he jumped out of them and tried to sink into the snow. He sank, but unfortunately not. en- tirely, for the top of his head remained above the snow. The bear came and tore off the top of his head and both his eyelids, then it hobbled away; but the cold was so great, Mr. Morgan scarcely felt any pain. By and-by the peasants returned, and he heard them say: “There is the bear sunk into the snow, now we can kill him.” Mr. Morgan cailed out, “Oh, no, indeed, I am not the bear,” and they came and dug him out. But when they saw whata state be was in, they said, “well now It is evident that you must dié, so we must leave you but we will make you’a fire that you may die comfortably, for, a8 for carry- ing you five days’ journey back to St. Peters- burg, that is quite impossible.” But Mr. Morga offered the peasants so largea reward if they would only take nim to some refuge that at last they consented, and they picked up the eyelids too and carried them toa neighboring house. Then the oid woman of the place, when. she saw the evelids, said, “Oh, I will make that all right,” and stuck them on; but she stuck them on the wrong sides, and they continued Wrong as long as Mr. Morgan lived ———+eo___ Life From the Front Piatform. From the N. Y. Tribune. “See that pretty gal?” said the car driver to a reporter who was smoking his fifty-cent cigar on the front platform. “She's agoin’ to git off at this corner. Just keep your eye on her, and see me land her in that old gentleman’s lap as she goes by.” He touched his horses with the whip and they sprang forward. ‘The “pretty gal” in question rose and started for the door as the conductor rang the bell to stop, and when she was opposite the old gentleman, who calmly read his per all uncouscious of bis tate, De driver pulled up his team with one band and twisted the brake furiously with the other. Asa result the car exhibited a tendency to stand on end, the pas- sengers swayed in their seats and the reporter had to grasp the railing to keep from going over the dashboard. But the victim was hot to be caught so easily. She braced herselt quickly, planted 125 pounds of weighton the old gentle: inan’s pet corngand fled through the door with a siniling apology, “This here brake don’t work and the team ain't spre enough,” muttered the driver by way of a disgusted explanation of his failure, “IL kin do itevery time with the night hosses “There's a good deal of tun to be picked up in drivin’ a car if you only keep your eycs open.

HANLAN ON OARSMEN. The Ex-Champion’s Opinion of Court- mey and the Other Leading Scullers. From an Interview in the Detroit Post. “What kind of'a man is Beach?” was asked of Hanlan, “He's a good one, you know. Ob, yes, he's a good one. He's large, strong, active and pos- sesses all the nerve aman needs. But such luck! Nobody can beat that man’s luck. I'm going to let him rest fora year and then make him another visit. I want to see if his luck won’t change. It certainly can’t stay by him always, We pulled there in a flood tide. I Anew I was beat when Beach won the choice of positions. I knew it, and somehow I knew he'd win the toss. He’s very lucky. But I was bound to row it he beat ine the length of the course, I have always made it a point to pull when T've to, and beside, if !'d said no’ to the crowd they had there, they’d have killed me, you know. They would, sure. He beat me ‘air, but I think I can row a faster race than he, and hope to prove it some time. Bat he’s a roweryand you can only beat him by outpulling him.” He'll not weaken, you know." hat have you in view?” Well, I have a little arrangement with Teemer. We have a series of races, which I think won't come off until September. By the ay, I'd like to meet him here in Detroit. I hover pulled in.a race in my life that I didn’t try to win, and when I get alongside of Teemer Iwant to be at my best. Twaut to race hima good square race for big money, and I'd be zlad to race him somewhere about Detroit. That ‘Teemer is a likely oarsiman, The first time he came tothe front I had picked hin out and told the boys to look out for him. They thought me quite a/prophet, but the fact was that he'd come alongside of me one day when I was prac- ticing, and I'm blowed if I could shake him. I had good reason to know that he was a fast one, “Besides this, I want to make a mateh against Hosmer and Gandaur. They just won in a good double race and tell me they can beat Lee and myself. Tsay they can’t, and there's but one way to prove it, you know. I'll get Lee and make a race, if we can. Our recorded time is under theirs, and as we've been bantering about the matter I'want to have it tested. That St. John's club is ready to back Gandaur for almost anything.” “What do you think of Courtney?” This question, put as a feeler, cased the oars- man’s ¢yes to snap, for it ts 1 Known that the man whose bot was sawed, who was sand- bagged the night belore a race and who went off to get shaved and forgot to revurn, while thous- ands of anxious people waited to see his race with Ross, hus poor standing in the estimation of the Canadian oarsman. “I never did think Courtney could row.

I heard the night before that Lee and Koss had been fixed to let Courtney win the heat, I wasn't going to have that, you know. Jt was a dead sure thing that Ross could beat Courtney and I was sutisfied Lee could. I went to these men and said: ‘Here, you fellows can't work that scheme. I won't have it.

Ross and Lee settled right down to business and did all they could. Ross crept up, but it seemed to me ata smali pace. It’s a tact that Lee and Courtney fiualiy fot abreast and stayed there for a mile in that heat. ‘They all rowed for blood. Finally I saw Courtney's head go down and I knew he wouldn’t trouble the boys any more. They both beat him in.” “But how did they make a hard race for your" ‘I'm coming to that.

The marriage of Princess Beatrice to Prince Henry of Battenberg will not, after all, be such & “quiet” affair as it was at first Intended. In fact, the queen seems to have made up her mind to marry off her last daughter with a great deal of pomp and ceremony, Her majesty has is- sued orders to largely Incrense the invitations to the wedding, and the bridal cake, which is to be something quite extraordinary’in the con- fectioner’s art, will weigh 250 pounds, This big sweet piece is to be built up in three tlers und to BS f wad upon @ pedestal of gold, e London Truth says: Have you any curios- ity about the sort of trousseau a princess has?

Itnever should have gone out, Noth- ing is more self-respecting than respect, and when we ask our friends to visit us we can well afford to be unusually courteous, The brief, curt and not too friendly announcement, “Mr. and Mrs, John H. Brown request your pres ence,” etc,, ete., may well yield tothe much more elegant and formal compliment. From high social authority in New York we have an invitation much simpler and more gordial, also worthy of, imitation: “Mr. and Mrs. Winslow Appleblossom request the pleasure of your company at the wedding re- ception of their daughter, on Tuesday after- noon, June the sixteenth.” This is without cards ornames, presuming that the latter will follow later on. Another very comprehensive and useful an- nouncement of a wedding, from a lady living out of town, conveys, however, on one sheet of paper the desired iniormation of where to find the brider Mrs, Seth Osborne announces the marriage of her daughter euerite Lo Mr. Joseph Wendon, on Wednesday, September the ninth, it Bristol, Connecticut, At Home after January tirst, at 758 Wood Street. This card of announcement is a model of con- elseness, and answers the oft repeated question, 'Where'shall we go to find the married couple next winter?” In arranging the house for the spring wed- ding the ilorisis have hit upon anew device of having only one tlower in masses; so we hear of the apple-blossom wedding, the lilac wedding, the lily wedding, the rose’ wedding and the daffodil wedding, the viviet wedding and the daisy wedding. So well has this been carried out that at a recent daisy wedding the bride’s lace and diamond ornainents bore the d: pattern, and each bridesmaid received a dai pin with diamond cente: This fashion of massing a single flower hasits advantages when that flower is the beautifal thery Ii ornamental a i is not io be commended when flowers are as sombre as the violet, which nowadays sugges Tunerals. Daffodils are lovely and original, and apple blossoms make a hallina Queen Anne mansion very decorative, No one needs to be told that roses look better for being massed, and it isa pretty conceit for a bride to make the flower which was the ornament of her wedding her tlower for life. ‘The passion tor little girls as bridesmaids re- ceives much encouragement at the spring and stupmer weddings. One is’ reminded of the children weddings of the fifteenth century, as these darlings, ¢lad in Kate Greenaway hats, Y aisle, preceding the bride. The young brother of the bride, a mere boy, who, in the fatherless condition of his sister,'recently ¢ her away, also presented a touching pic- .

The ushers and the groom wear very large boutonnieres of stephanotis and gardenias, or equally large bunches of lilles-of-the-valley, 1n their button-hole. At one of the country weddings of the spring a piper in full Scotch costume discoursed most eloquent music on the lawn during the wedding ceremony. This was a complient to. the groom, who is captain in a Highland resi- ment. A prevailing fashion for wedding presents is to give heavy pieces of furniture, such as side- boards, writing-tables, cabinets and pianos, A favorite dress for traveling is_heliotrope ¢ashmere, with bonnet to match. For a dark bride nothing is more becoming than dark blue made with white yest and sailor collar. Gray cashmere with stecl passementerie has also been much in vogue. A light gray mohair, trimmed with lace of the same color, was also much admired, We have mentioned the surmoundings of the brides, but have not spoken of the back- ground. A screen hung with white and purple lacs formed the background of one fair bride, a hanging curtain of Jacqueminot es formed | the appropriate sétting of another. Perhaps the most regal of these floral screens was one formed of costly orchids, each worth a fortune. One of the most beautiful of the spring wedding dresses was made of cream white satin over a tulle pet- ticoat, the tulle being held down by a long diag- onal band of broad pearl embroidery, the sauln train trimmed with bows of ribbon in true- lovers! Enots embroidered in seed-pe a shower of white Itlucs trimmed one side of the skirt. Another simple dress was made of white silk, trimmed with old Venetian point, the train of striped ivory point and white satin depending ala Watteau from the shoulders and iastened at the point of the waist. At the side three large pleats formed a drapery, which was fringed with orange blossoms. Z From England we hear of the most curious combinations as to traveling dresses. | Biscult- colored canvas, embroidered around the polo- naise in green and gold, while the skirt is edged. with a broad band of green velvet. The new woolen laces of all colors make a very good effect in the “goin Way dress” of a bride. ‘The season which holds a coming royal wed- ding is an auspicious one in which to be mar- ried. The Princess Beatrice will be married to Prince Henry of Battenbe: the parish church of Whippingham, Isle of Wight, on Thursday, July 23. It will be “quite private;” a full cho- ral service and music of the most elaborate kind will alone make this wedding more splen- did than one of our spring weddings. ‘The queen will give the princess away, and Prince Henry of Battenberg will be attended by his brother, Prince Alexander. ‘The bridemalds will be the nieces of the Princess, some of whom are mere children. ‘The ceremony will take place early in the afternoon, and after a dejeuner on the lawn at Osborne, under a tent, the happy couple Will drive to Quarr Abbey, “where they will stay for a week, goingoff after in the Victoria and Albert fora cruise to finish the honeymoon. We ure olten usked by summer brides whether they should wear bonnets or round hats for their traveling dress, We unhesitatingly say bonnets. A very pretty wedding bonnet Is made of lead-colored beads without foundation, light and transparent; strings of red velvet and’ a bunch of red plums complete this bonnet. Gold-colored straw, trimmed with gold brown velvet and black net, makes a pretty travelin; bonnet.

An amusing anecdote is told of a Yorkshire coachman, who, newly arrived in America, was to drive the bride to church. Not knowing’ him, particularly as he was a new ad- dition to the force, the bride sent him his favor by the hands of her maid, But Yorkshire de- cided stoutly against receiving such a vicarious offering, and remarked, “Teil she I'd rather ‘ave it irom she.” And so, “she” was obliged to come down and affix the ‘favor to his livery coat, or he would have resigned the “ribbons.” ‘The nurses, the cook, the maids, and the men- servants in England always expect a wedding favor and a small gratuity at a wedding, and in this country should be remembered by a box of cake, and possibly by a new dress, cap, or bon- net, of something to recall the day. : ‘The plan of serving the refreshments at a buf- fet all through the reception retains its place as the most convenient and appropriate o: ‘The wedding breakfast, where toasts are drunk and speeches made, is practicablé in England, but hardly here, where we are not to the man- ner born, ‘The old trained domestics who serve such a feast cannot be invented at will In America, so that it is better to allow our well- filled tables to remain heavily laden, as_the: are, with daintles which % petition, served by a corps of wai defy competition, 17, 1885-DOUBLE SHEET. ‘The Two Tory Leaders. ‘From the New York Times. The Right Hon. Robert Arthur Talbot Gas- colgne Cecil, K.G., Marquis of Salisbury, whom the Queen has summoned to Balmoral to form & new cabinet, has been the leader of the oppo- sition in the house of lords since Mr. Gladstone came into power the last time, He is 55 years old, and the eldest surviving son of the second Marquis of Salisbury. He was educated at Eton and at Christ church, Oxford, and was first elected a member of parliament for Stamford in the conservative interest in 1853. He rep- resented that borough in the house of com- mons for 15 years, until his succession to the marquisate on the ‘death of his father in 1868, when he took his seat in the house of lords, In Lord Derby's third administration he was, tn uly, 1866, appointed secretary of state for In- dia, whieh post he resigned in April, 1867, 0n account of a tailure to agree with the rest ofthe cabinet on the reform bill, His lordship was again made secretary of state for Inala when r. Disraeli returned to office in Keb- ruary, 1874. When, at the close of the war ‘between’ Turkey and Servia differences arose between the former power and Russia, the marquis was sent as special ambas- sador to the sublime porte, and he and Sir Henry Elliot acted as joint plenipotentiaries of Great Britain at the contereuce of Constantinople. ‘The marquis took the position of leader in the conference, which held altogether seven plenary meetings. "The Ottoman grand council retused to accept the conditions insisted on by the coz ference, and Lord Salisbury immediately for England.

THE BOSS CROOK DESCRIBES WHAT HE CALLS A LEGITIMATE BUSINESS, From the New York Sun. “Ihave found honesty to be the best policy, and have gone into a legitimate business,” the boss crook remarked. “What is that?” the reporter asked, having missed the crook from his usual haunts. “Teaching the innocent rustic and the unso- phisticated suburban, I average one scholar a day, and the scheme pays very well.

AN EXPERIMENT THAT MAY SOME TIME PROVE BENEFICIAL TO DEAD MEN, From the Denver News. Mr. James L, Finch gives an account of some curious experiments which he and Dr. Armi- tage recently made secretly in resuscitating animals apparently dead. The first subject operated upon was a medi- um-sized terrier dog. It was securely tiedandan incision made in an artery in its neck, by which the animal was bled to death, He certainly passed through all the symptoms of dying, and soon atter the last blood issued from the wound his frame became fixed and rigid and his eyes showed the senseless glare of death. The room was kept at a temperature of 70° Farenheit, while the dog lay for three hours dead. By’this time he had become very stiif and cold. He was now placed in a warm water bath that was constantly maintained at a tem- perature of 105°, and was continually and thor- oughly rubbed,’ and as he became pliant his limbs were gently worked about and his whole body rendered supple. A half pint of hot water was now passed into his stomach through a hard-rubber tube which was forced down his gesophagus, When this was accomplished the mouth of a rubber tube, attached to a bellows, was introduced into his windpipe, and, a8 the bellows, were provided with a double valve, by which the alr could be with. drawn as well as inhaled, the dog’s nose was securely fastened. ‘A large and powerful New Foundland dog had been obtalied for the parpose, had been at ad Seanene by, and was wd bee ee lending surgeon proceet just trans- fusing apparatus, and in slowly to inject the live 's blood into the dead dog.

A telegram to the New York Sum from Nyack, June 13, says: On May 10, as Andrew Dormer, Jr., aged nineteen years, an only son, was going to church in Piermont, he was bitten twice in ‘the calf of the leg by a mongre! dog belonging to James Sarvent. His father says: “When my boy came home and told me what had happened I treated the wound with salve and caustic, and told Andrew to get some of the dog’s hair to bind on his leg. He did not do this at once, and his leg was swollen and he was Jame for two weeks, Then 1t broke out like the measles. About two weeks ago he asked me one day to load the gun. I did so, and he Went out and shot the dog, and cut ‘off some of the hair. He put it on his leg, but didn’t let it stay there long.

London Letter to the Chicago Herald. The queen, who looked, as I thought, ex- tremely gracious, when Mrs, Astor and Mrs. White were introduced at the drawing-room, was the centre figue in a setting of dazzling brilliance. Mixed with toliettes inexpressibly gorgeous in hue, texture and ornanmentation, white shoulders and rounded arms, were the varied uniforms of men, In all the lives of the rainbow. The flashes of diamonds, the glitter of gold and jewels, the background of artis cally draped and’ brightly colored walls, entle ripple of movement and th falling music dreamily echoing frou corridors made up altogether a very satisfy’ program. ‘The queen, who is perfectly aware that she looks her best in the shades of widowhood, wore black satin. From the regal coronet, which sparkled with hundreds of diamonds and pearls set in fine gold, flowed a majestic whice tulle veil. The royal’ throat was encircled with a wondrous necklace of glorious earls four rows deep, and in the tiny.ears were iamonds emitting the purest rays. The ro; person fairly blazed with ribands, stars and orders, and Iam free to confess,’ impudent republican though I am, that Victoria pre- sented a queenly and majestic figure on which theeye dwelt with instinctive respect. She is the picture ofa wholesome woman who feeds Well, sleeps well, thinks well, and is favored with a sound mind and healthy body. —— see. He Had Been There Himself, Perhaps. From the Lewiston (Me.)
