On the spur of tue moment she penned an. angry note and released him trom his engagement, |The note was handed him while in the court-house, Persons who saw him receive tt remarked after- ‘ward that they noticed him turn pale when he read it. Mr. Buchanan Was a proud man. The large fortuné was to him only abother barrier to his trying to persuade her to reconsider her rejec- tion of himself. A few days after the quarrel Party to go to Phil-deiphia: to attend ao opera, was arranged and Miss Coleman was inciuded in the invitations. ‘They went to the city, but when tbe time for going to the opera had arrived Miss Coleman, on the piea of indisposition, Temained at the hotgi, Upon the return of the from the Miss Coleman was found ead in her room, Tt was intimated at the time that in her despair she might have committed sulcide. Mr. Buchanan was overcome with grief. He wrote to her father, begging the privilege of being allowed to be one of the mourners at the funeral. Lonce saw the note myself. Mr. Cole- man returned the letter without other answer. ‘This sad and pathetic experience left an indelible mark on Buchanan's life. As you know, he never married. All who knew him Well know that he cnerished the memory of bis lost love unul bis dytug day.” ————+e0______ Prof, Wiley’s Experiments, A dispatch from New Orleans says: The experi- ments at the Magnolia plantation of Gov. War- moth, conducted by Prof. Wiley, of the Depart- ment of Agriculture, were resuzned Saturday. In the twenty-four hours the battery was in opera- tion for twenty-two hours, working upon 110 tons of cane. This morning better work was done t! ever before, at the rate of 125 tons per day. ‘The polarization of the cane averages 14 sucrose, 60 glucose, and purity 85. Dr. Wiley is obtaining Very fihe extraction, only three-tenths of 1 cent of sugar being left in the chip. He estimat on ® basis of previous work, that this ran wil ve from 200 to 205 pounds ‘of sugar to the ton. ‘ne second sugar from the fourth run has been swung out, yielding 459 pounds to the ton, The third Sugaf from the same run has been bolled and ts in wagons, It has already fully grained, and haga purity of over 60. Superintendent Barko- lemy estimated the product of third sugars as 20 pounds to the ton, but putting it at 15 would make 226 pounds ‘of sugar to the ton from the fourth run. Unless an accident occurs the cane will be worked up by Wednesday night, and the experiments brought tw a conclusion." A large number of visitors are present watching the ope- ration with great care, including representatives of foreign governments, ‘cos ‘The Imperial Frontier Forces. AN AUTHORITATIVE GERMAN STATEMENT WHICH IS NOT FAVORABLE TO RUSSIA, ‘The Berlin Militar Wochenblatt publishes with authority a reply to the Javalide Russe’s late com- parisons of the frontier forces, It says that au- ‘thentlc estimates of the peace effectives stationed inthe fronuer provinces of Austrt: ussia and Germany show that Russia has 315,! men, with 689 fields guns; Austria 38,000 men, with 160 field ‘uns, and Germany 98,200 inen and’338 field guns. fine Vochenblatt next com| the military situa- tion on the Russian side of the frontier with that on the German side, taking the forces within ter- ritories of about equal areas, and shows that the Russians within 119,311 square kilometers have 123,275 men, 24,198 horses and 2,711 guns of att kinds, whiie'the Germans within 119,456 square kllometers have only 81,714 men, 14,520 horses and 238 guns. The garrison of Warsaw, consisting of 20,000 men, 3,500 horses and 50 field guns, 13 con- trasted with tue garrison of Toenigsburg, consist- ing of 7,700 men, 1,400 horses and 50 elds yu and the garrison of Breslau, with 5,000 men, 1,1 horses and 32 field guns, Referring to the Invalide ‘Russe’s asseruon that 4,850 kilometers of railway, has been constructed in Eastern Germany since 1878, the Wachenblatt states that the railway ex. tension since 1878 amounts to only 1,565 kilome- ters, Dipiomauc circles in Berlla aré discussiny the reported efforts of M. Flourens, the Frene foreign minister, to bring about an understandtug between Franc , Russia and Engiand, and are io credulous of his’success. —_——ee____ She Objected to Slaves, ANEW CASE WITH AVERY OLD HISTORY ON TRIAL IN SAVANSAB. ‘The ejectment suit of Delorme against Mrs. Francis Leigh and others, is on trial in the United States Cireuit Court at Savannah. The defendants in the case came all the way from England to fight the suit, whichis brought by L. E. B, De- lorme. ‘The property consists of two lots in Dar- jen. They once formed part of the estate of Pjerce Buuler, who married the famous English actress, Fanny Kemble. She objected to her busband boid- ing slaves, and never becoming reconclied to 1t, she separated from air, Buuer after they had been married several years.

Dissension exists among the Parnellitesin regard to Mr. Parnell’s proposed tactics during the com- tng session of parliament. Mr. Parnell isin favor of abstaining from obstruction, in order to acccel- erate a rupture between the unionists and the conservatives on the English local government measure.
