The specific object of her work will be to develop fish-cult- ural methods as applicabie to the more impor- tant food species of the souti Atlantic and gulf coasts, special attention being given to the mullet, which, from its abundance, constitutes the most importaut fishery resource of that region. e Grampus will be engaged in investigat- | ing the offshore fishing grounds of the gulf re- gion, with a view to determining their location and extent and the abundance of the fishes that may be found there. ; The three distributing cars of the commis- sion are now in active service. Car No. 1 is completing the distribution of carp to the ex- treme southern and southwestern states and territories; car No. 2 is at Northville making distribution of the yearling trout, reared there, to the waters of Michigan. Ohio, Indiana, Iowa, and Kentucky; car No. 3 leaves Wood's Holl to- day with shipment of lobsters for stocking the waters of the northwest coast, in the region of the Columbia river and Puget sound. It will also stop at Sandusky, for five million white- fish eggs. to be transferred to and hatched out at Portland, Oreg., and planted in lakes Pend @ Oreille and Coeur d’ Alene, at the headwaters of the Columbia river. Fish-cultural work with the cod and other marine species is now at full tide of operation at Gloucester and Woc Holl, Mass. Earlier in the season it was much embarrassed by vari- ous causes, more particularly the violent storms upon the coast, which have interfered with both the taking of eggs and their successful hatching. Cod eggs are being taken now in large numbers at the ester station, the daily collection amounting sometimes to more than five millions. GETTING INTO PRINT. A Magazine Editor’s Useful Advice to Young Writers. From the Philadelphia Times. In reply to the question, “Are personal in- troductions helpful to young authors?” an edi- tor of one of the great magazines said the other day: “There is no fallacy so great as the idea that because an editor is introduced | to an aspiring contributor he will be more favorabiy inclined toward his work. I only speak, of course, of my own case, but I be- lieve the experience of others in my unhap} walk of life is about the same. If I were ¢ ing advice toa young author, whose success | Ihad much at heart, I shoutd sa Prepare | your manuscript and have pied by a type- iter, and in reading it over you will have almost the same ation which comes from reading proof—cold print or cold typewr for that matter, isa wonderful help in get a correct view of your work; it your corre tions are or complicated ha copied afresh send it to the magazine which to your mind it is best fitted for. | Don’t go to a friend who knows the editor | and get a letter of introduction e | the friend, the editor, and eventually your- | self. If you suggest the value of a ‘friend at | court,’ remember that the editor has met this scheme a thousand times. It means that you ask him to make exceptions in your Case against his judgment, and this annoys him to begin with. If you want to seil a firm a bill of | goods, you do not feel that » ed a letter of introdtiction to the buyer, and an editor is in | exactly this position of one who is always buy- | ing what he thinks is saleable. I become something of a cynic, I fear, because I never make an acquaintance without saying to my self, some day this mo riend of | his will want me to ‘consider iy? a mann- | script. Lalways feel that I make ten enemies | a day, but I confess { do not see why an editor should be put in an embarrassing position any | coach drive from Windermere | wom |of bis thus driving the Cuckoo, for so the | coach was called. De Quincy would get up at | the Nab on his way to see Wilson of Elleray. Hartley Coleridge would be offered a ride for his talk’s sake. young Faber or gentle Charles Lloyd might have taken places for London, and it was almost certain that “Mr. Wordsworth, him o’Rydal,” would meet the coach at Ambleside for proofs or letters. Yes, it was a memorable stage, that stage from | Whitehaven to Kendal and Lancaster in the | olden time—memorable for scenery and societ: alike. Then came the iron horse, and, thoug! poets and coach drivers were one in the oppo- sition, it snorted up the long incline from Ken- dal to Birthwaite, and the mail from Winder- mere to Lancaster ceased. But still the merry tooting of the horn is heard for part of the ear over the twenty-one miles stretch | between Windermere and Keswick. So well does “the beautiful Romance of Nature,” which Wordsworth apostrophised in his’ sonnet on hearing of the approach of the Kendal and Windermere railway, plead for “the peace” of the district, that an attempt to substitute the swift wings of the steam god for the humbler | ae of a four-in- hand coach over a portion of the stage before us was last year frustrated in parliament. Still one nook of English ground. a little nook 20 miles across, is secured from the rash invader | that Trevethick planned, and anyone who loves, for old Dake’s sake, a bit of coaching, can find a choice of sixteen well-appointed | four-in-hands ready to seamper off north, east, or west, to any partof the lake dis- trict from ‘Windermere on any day of the week during the tourist season. The {coach drive of the future will take us up | Langdale over the Stake, down Langstrath and | Borrowdale to Keswick and bring us back by | Thirlmere and the Raise to Windermere, but | the Stake pass road “‘will bide a deal o’ mak- king.” as the Northmen say. and so we must just be content with a coach drive ‘there and back,” over the same line from Windermere to Keswick, and we may be well content. There is not anywhere in England a drive so full of that mingled natural and human interest which makes scenery so impressive. It is well-nigh impossible for sensitive minds not to feel some- | thing of “the light that never was on sea or | land” as they pass the thresholds of the good nd great, whose thoughts have helped our England to be pure. In this coach drive to Keswick they not only go by the homes of the thinkers and poets and ‘philosophers, | but their foreheads feel the wind and rain | that gave such freshness to the seers of the st generation; the sunlight on lake or_moun- in head that filled their minds with glory is ours to-day. The woods and waterfalls that speak to us upon our way spoke also to them. We can in fancy see their familiar forms upon the road, and. as in eastern travels the or wayside tomb made the journey ze rememberable, so we find in this pilgrim sge through foet land that the great dead | lend it a kind of solemn sweetness and the dust | f reates hallows the wonder giving n all in all, there is no 21-miles ch drive that so stirs the imaginati nisin sdseaseos vs Women and Their Pocketbooks. From the Baltimore News. “It is a matter of great wonder to me that women will carry their pocketbooks in their he remarked a police officer to a News re- porter. “Searcely a day passes that a case of pocket-book snatching is not reported at one or the other of the police stations, and the news- ers generally publish all such cases asa ning to the fair sex, but for all that the eu fail to profit by the experience of | oth I have made careful observations | ince [went on the foree and can say with | perfect truth that ninety out of every hundred n I meet carry their purses carelessly in their hands, giving, as it were, an invitation to sneak thieves to help themselves, Saturday night the latter class of depraved humanity is found in large force loafing around the various markets.

Continuing in the same strain, this editor | said: ‘Mr. Jas. Payn.a man of the greatest experience not only as a writer but as an ed- itor, who hes filled many important positions on periodicals, says in a recent article entitled ‘Getting into Print: ‘Solomon tells us that there is nothing new under the sun, but he | spoke from insufficient data When he enumerates the various vanities to which human nature is subjected he omitted to | mention the desire of seeing one’s self in print, | for that desire was born a good many yearsafter his time. The exact date is not | mown, but it was probably not much after | 1252, in which year printing was invented.’ He | goes on to speak of the most universal charac- | teristics of the race-vanity and of the young writer who, being ‘decorated with his first | proof, receives the congratulations of his fe- male friends and emerges from the ruck of mankind and become author.’ I believe if the vanity wes removed iustead of receiving about six thousand manuscripts a year, as we | now, we would not receive one thousand. | It is the opportunity of displaying one’s cley- erness to one s friends that is mainly attractive to the would-be anthor; if it were not so he would write because he had somethin; definite to say and his satisfaction would | exist im writing and publishing it and pot in the glory it might bring him among his small circle of friends. Editors | are like readers; they are attracted when | they are interested, and the moral of this | should be, therefore: Begin your story in the first paragraph, clothe your plot only with the | words which help to tell the tale; attempt no | by-play—only great writers can do this—and be sure the interest of the subject will last un- til the end, or you waste your paper. A| at deal issaid nowadays about magazines | wing enough material to last for years in | the safe. I think there is « great’ deal of humbug about this statement. for if an editor admits this he must admit that much of this overstock is of little or no value; but let this be as it may, you never heard of an editor re- fusing a really good story orarticle on a sub- | ject which is fresh and of public interest be- | cause his safe is full of manuscripts. The more | good contributions offered the higher becomes | the standard—that is the only result.” Sel * ! How Luther Marsh Looks. Wew York Correspondence Springfield Uniox ‘The other evening I was at a small reception, and while there was introduced to a rather small man with almost white hair, a bright, | | twinkling eye, his locks curled slightly, and he | | | t pe was a handsome man. I thought as I looked at him that he must have been remarkably so in his youth. He did not seem in his man- wer or conversation like an old man; he seemed | to take an interest in everything and to be thoroughly up to the times and well posted. I noticed two things regarding him, One was, seemed unusually bright, a good conversa- tionalist, and that he cared mostly for ladies’ society, but as that is usual with men, I did not wonder at it. I had not caugi: name of the gentleman when he was to me, but gradually the conversation drifted into literature. and one lady made the start- ling statement that she was writing a book, a aovel, which had hypnotism as the basis. “Do you believe in hypnotizing?” asked one. Grad- ually the elderly gentleman became interested, but when questioned said: “Pardon me. my own peculiar views of what the world for the-most part calls supernatural. These sub- are too sacred to me to be discussed at an evening reception; nor is there time here. To those who are enough interested to seck me out in my home Iam ever willing to talk, or convince,” he added. “Who is that man?” I of my hostess. She seemed surprised that I did not know, as she said, “Why. that is Lather Marsh.” I tried in vain to connect him with the man I bad read about in the papers, the hero of Ann O'Delia Diss Debar’s spirita - I suppose every one has a weak- and Mr. 's is a great fondness for the society of the fair sex, if that can be called weakness, I think that believing in them so he does, it would be an easy = to deceive him, of the Diss Debar.

This kind of petty thievin, is largely confined to the colored race, although now and then we meet with a white snatcher, Another thing I have noticed is that manywomen wear their watches in little pockets in the bo- m of their dress from which hang long chains, thereby making the thief's task an easy one. When will the women learn to be and when will fashion design a street dress or coat with service- able pockets, is a matter which often puzzles me. Men will take lessons from experience, butwomen as a rule have a supercilious con- tempt for advice on such matters, If warned ot danger they simply smile, as if confident in their superior wisdom, and go on tempting fate until they are robbed. Then they express their | indignation in the strongest terms and regard | their illduek as anything else but their own | fenlt, Human nature is queer anyhow, but | woman nature is the queerest part of human nature.” 94. French Women. HOW DIFFERENT THEY ARE FROM THE USUAL NEWSPAPER DESCRIPTIONS OF THEM. Jules Simon in the Fortnightly Review. Do not trust our newspapers. Above all, | shun those journals which pretend to describe society. The society that they know, the only | society that they can deseribe, is not society at all; it is Bohemia. They talk, it is true, of a live duchess, but they have only seen their duchess from a distance, She was in her box, they were all away below in the stalls. The woman whom they really know is Marguerite Gautier, it is Marguerite to whom they a the ducal nama Most fre- quently they do not even take the trouble to find a fictitious trade-mark for their wares; they furnish you, without disguise with the scandal of the world of pleasure, ct series of orgies. a bacchandiia of come Thereupon you say to yourself: This is great Babylon!

But this is not the immorality of Paris, it is the immor- | ality of the world; nay, it is not Paris nor is it the Parisian woman. There is no more amus- ing madeap than the Parisian — courte- san, and no more sensible and charming | person than the Parisian woman.

It is a large number, but only think what a host of foreigners come to us. And yet the madeaps attract more attention than our 500,000 virtuous Parisian women and our 20,000,000 virtuous Fresch women.

His wife, who was Miss Scott, of Maryland, and four children are living. Major Graves is the only de son of William Jordan Graves, who was clected Congressman for this district in 1831 and was several times re- elected. The elder Graves was at one time one of the most noted men in_ the United States, his duel with Jonathan Cilley, Congressman from Maine, being one of the notable events in American _his- tory. Next to the duel between Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr, no event of the character ever attracted as much attention as that between Graves and Cilley. Mr. Cilley was a personal friend of Mr. Graves, and the duel was the result of the exactments of the so- called code of honor, as it existed in those days. Cilley and James Watson Webb, of New York, had some trouble, and Webb challenged Cilley. Mr. Graves was the bearer of the mes- sage. Cilley refused to receive a challenge from Webb, and the demands of the code were that where the challenged party did not deem the challenger fit to meet him in the field. the second should take the place of the principal thus dishonored. Owing to the personal rela- tions existing between them, Mr. Graves was troubled that the necessity of fighting his friend should avise. But if he had not challenged Cilley he would have been disgraced in the eyes of all the country. So the challenge was sent and acceptei Rifles at 80 yards were the conditions, and the two congressmen met at Bladeusburg, Md, February 24, 1898. Cilley was noted as one of the most skillful shots of the day, while Graves was not at all used to firearms. Graves ex- pected to be killed, but to the surprise of all at the third fire, Cilley fell dead, Graves’ bullet having reached a vital spot. William Jordan Graves died here in September, 1848, in his forty-fourth year. His other children, besides Major Graves, who is now dying, were Isham Graves, who has been dead many years, and Mrs, Harriet Graves Osborne, wife of the late J. D, Osborne, who, with George D. Prentice and Isham Henderson, were publishers of the Louisville Journal. Mrs. Osborne is now at her brother's bedside, Major Graves is an uncle of Mr. W. G. Osborne, a Lhe epeeter pee tin of this city, the latter being a son of the famous congressman's only daughter. coe A Southern Protectionist. SPEECH OF COL, HANSON, OF GEORGIA, AT THE BANQUET OF THE PROTECTIVE TARIFF LEAGUE. The first annual dinner of the American Pro- tective Tariff league was held at Delmonico’s, New York, last night. About three hundred and twenty-five persons sat down, among them ex-Senator Warner Miller, Gov. Lounsbury, of Connecticut; Gov. Cheney, of New Hamp- shire; Allen Thorndyke Rice, Representative Morrow, Gen. Horace Porter, Hon, Thomas C. Acton, and John Jarrett. Letters of regret were read from Representatives Reed and Me- Kinley and Mr. Chauncey Depew. The speech of the evening which attracted most attention was that of Col. J. F. Hanson, of Macon, Ga., whose topic was the south, old and new. The former, he said, is the political south, the solid south, the south of exclusive agriculture, of theory and failure; the other is the new south, the business south, the south of diversified in- dustry, of practical methods, the south of progress. They were evolved from different conditions, at ‘different periods, and inspired p by different sentiments, Ropes: and purposes, African slavery and its free trade handmaid prevented, in their day, the industrial growth of the south, and finally produced secession and war. The universal freedom and twenty years under protection have promoted this ere. Juepized our people with contidence and ope. and brought to the country a union in fact and season of profound and universal peace. Whatever southern politicians may say with reference to this question, the business south does not proposes to surrender the policy under which our section and the country have achieved their magnificent results. That the political south propose to destroy the protec- tive system no man of candor or intelligence will deny. If the cause of protection fails in this country it will failat the hands of the solid south. If the white south loses control of her local affairs it will be by reason of her folly in using her abnormal political power for the’ purpose of checking American progress through the destruction of the American sys- tem. aes The Geffcken Affair. WHY THE PROFESSOR PUBLISHED THE EXTRACTS FROM THE EMPEROR'S DIARY. The Berlin Reichsanzeiger says: “The Geff- cken indictment states that Professor Geffcken confessed that he believed Emperor Frederick would not have given him the diary had he thought it would be published. Prof. Geffcken made extracts from the diary for his own use, never thinking that the emperor would die be- fore himself, His object in publishing the ex- tracts was to show that Emperor Frederick was a noble ideologist and the moving power at the foundation of the empire.” The Reichsanzeiger publishes Prince Bis- marck’s report to Emperor William, in which he points out the necessity for publishing the indictment in order to counteract the per- nicious effect of the misrepresentations of home and foreign journals, which, he says, aim at representing the public prosecutor and the imperial tribunal as being partial and inspired with a desire for persecution. The retirement of Minister Friedberg is traced to the appearance of his name in pepers seized in connection with the Geffcken case. It is reported that Dr. Simson will resign the presidency of the Leipsic court for the same reason. soe Census Every Five Years. From the Cincinnati Commercial-Gazette, Acensns taken every five years, such as is proposed in England, would have advantages, whatever objections there might be to the plan. The five-year system would better ad- mit of an experienced corps of census-takers being employed. Indeed, the fact that it takes ten years to get the report ready for publica- tion shows that a part of the corps might be permanently employed. Some of the reports, at least, are so stale as to be uninteresting and ractically useless. A five-year census would wave the preference as being fresher and more accurate. But would a census each five years by experts, canvassed and tabulated rapidly, cost more than a big, bungling one only once in ten years? That is, of course, a question to consider. Censuses taken by the states, each according to its own plan, might be all that is necessary for practical purposes in a national way. PESOS Ee REY IAP BE A Queen’s Magazine Venture. Cable Dispatch to New York Sun, i Maria Henrietta, Queen of the Belgians, has gone in for editing, like Miss Cleveland and other distinguished women before her. She | and her youngest daughter, Clementine, have just started a magazine of an inoffensive type which is called La Jeune Fille, The idea is to keep young girls up in household matters. The queen writes about the way to keep house and eater criticisms, while her daughter, who signs herself ‘‘Martha D’Orey,’ and literature. non de plume of the queen of Roumania, has been,engaged on the staff to write a m for every number, and it is expected that Ste- _—, the crown princess of Austria, will do pictures, If the Archduchess Maria Valeria comes into the scheme, as is probable, the paper will be altogether an aristocratic affair. eir chance of journalistic success, however. would have been very much better had they does art started a society paper, and each d_ to friends, tho Ling of iho Belgians aed the crave en 1e ol 1e an crown prince of pian bei noto- Tices Spee of Sarepese sae An Old Story. From the Philadelphia Record. Mamma—“It is called ‘The Sleeping Beauty,’ and is about a who and sep, an girl in slept slept “Was she a hired Carmen Sylva, which is the | ment, Divorce, and Death in’ The New York Herald's special cable dispatch from Paris has the following: “Poor Homans!” That was the heartfelt utterance of every one among the crowd of mourners which filled the American church recently when the full choir of men and boys chanted the solemn service for the burial of the dead. Of the immediate family there were present only Wm. Homans, the eldest son, and Mrs, Nivert, the sister-in- law, with her children. From his long resi- dence in France, and his important position as European manager of the New York Life In- surance Company, Mr. Homans had been hon- ored with numerous decorations, which were displayed upon a cushion. ‘ight years ago Mr. Homans married his sec- ond wife, She was from New Orleans, and was tee thy ae ae —— aS And Petigeuntd auty. To-day she is about -five years { old, and is still a handsome woman. She be- came a second mother to his three children, two sons and a daughter, and she also had a denghter of her own by a former marriage. It is the subsequent perfidy of this heartless creature that brought the mournful gathering ‘ the little Americanchurch yesterday. Some time after the couple came to Paris scandalous reports concerning the wife’s conduct were cur- rent, but Homans turned a deaf ear to them. Some three months ago the bubble burst. the crash came, the blind man’s eyes were opened, his home was wrecked, and his noble heart was broken. It happened at Aix les Bains, There was an Italian noble in the case, Some say he was a prince. Mr. Homans was his friend, had re- ceived him at his table, and had trusted him. One day toward the end of September AN ACCIDENT REVEALED THE WHOLE TRUTH. Mrs. Homans had gone back to Paris, pro- fessedly to arrange her hotel for the winter season. The prince had gone to Geneva, so he said, but he had covered his tracks badiy. An indiscreet concierge revealed to the astounded husband that so far from being in Switzerland his Italian highness was in Paris, and that dur- ing their stay in Aix les Bains he had secretly oceupied a room opposite to that of Mrs. Ho- mans. The conclusion was easily drawn. Mr, Homans took the express to Paris, and when there was no longer room for doabt he acted as a man has to act in this country in such cases, and Mrs, Homans spent the night in the Saint Lazare prison, Mr. Homans spent it pacing the floor of his chamber and then he came to another decision. He determined that his wife, however great her guilt, should not be confined in prison to be herded with a crowd of fallen women. On the following da: at his request she was released on bail, he hav- ing reserved all his rights for criminal and civil action against her, HAVING TAKEN STEPS TO SECURE A DIVORCE Mr, Homans, quite broken down, left Paris se- cretly and went to Brussels. He wanted to be alone. His wife made frantic efforts to secure a reconciliation and a meeting. One night, at the Hotel Bellevue, at Brussels, Mr. Homans was aroused from his slumbers by a knocking athis door. He arose and opened the door, and instantly Mrs. Homans pushed into the room, The shock to Mr. Homans was tremen- dous, He gm for breath and his face be- e came livid. part trouble is hereditary in the family, and for few seconds it was a question whether he would live or die. is wife promptly took advantage of the situation. She rang for assistance, had hot water brought and mustard poultices, and worked over him for an hour, till the danger was passed and the at- tendants withdrew, leaving the two together. It was 3 o'clock in the morning, and he was al- ready compromised by the fact that his wife had remained with him for over an hour. SHE DECLARED BY ALL THAT WAS HOLY that if he drove her from the apartment she would commit .suicide in the street. He al- lowed her to remain, surrendering to her his bedroom and he himself sitting up in the sa- lon for the balance of the night, Next morning he insisted on her returning to Paris, but the harm was done. Immediately on her arrival Mrs. Homans called in the {use Winstruction in charge of the case and in- formed him that a reconciliation had been effected. She also spread the story about Paris, In vain Homans _telegraphed’a denial of the statement. Hurrying back to Paris he explained the real facts of the case to the juge dinstruction, who listened patiently, but said an investigation must be made into the Brus- sels affair before a divorce could be granted. Investigation in Brussels meant diplomatic in- terference, an indefinite amount of official red- tape, and, worst of all, considerable delay. Now, before any decision has been reache Homans is dead, He died of congestion of the D. C., FRIDAY, JANU 5} § ARY 18, 1889.

Strakosch paid Nilsson the past season $500 a performance, and one-half the receipts over $3,000, which made her share average from $1,000 to $1,500. The second season she de- manded $1,000 cash and the same share of ex- cess, but after a row it was reduced to $600. The extraordinary demands of thése singers finally made it impossible for managers to give Italian opera. ‘*Beside the salary, I agreed to | pay Nilsson's hotel expenses, and she managed to run up bills of from $500 to $700 per week.

From the Pall Mall Gazette. That leprosy really is a contagious disease seems to be pretty well proved by documents which the Rev. H. P: Wright communicates to the Times. A Hawaiian convict, who was con- demned to death, had his life spared on condi- tion that he should be inoculated with leprosy by way of experiment. The inoculation took place three years ago, and the unfortunate man, who would surely have done better to go to the scaffold, is now a tubercular leper. The experiment was perhaps hardly necessary, ‘The fact that Father Damien has become a leper since he went to reside in a settlement of lepers is surely proof enough that the disease is contagious. Now, however, there is no longer room for any doubt which may have been felt upon the matter at one time. pores — Informer Delaney Faces Davitt. HE RECOGNIZES THE LATTER—DAVITI'S LOW ES- TIMATE OF O'DONOVAN ROSSA, The cross-cxamination of Patrick Delaney was resumed before the Parnell commission in London yesterday. The witness persisted in declaring that he saw Boyton point out to In- vincible Brady the chairman of the prison board, Mr. Bourke, for assassination. On cross- examination by Michael Davitt, Delaney said that he was positive that he had often seen Davitt in company with Dan Curley, although he could not fix the dates, Re-examined with reference to the funds of the Fenians, he stated that in 1879 the party was without money other than the few pence weekly subscribed by members. Some pawned their watches to send delegates to America. Carey, after the Invinci- bles were organized, obtained funds from the league and started business asa contractor.
