An escort of three hundred and fifty natives will accompany the party, proceeding by the river Shire instead of overland. Two launches of shallow draft, carrying seven and two guns respectively, have been provided for the expedition. Consul Smith- says that in event of the party proceeding up the Shire there is no doubt that resistance will be made by the Makolalo natives, who are, however, not strong enough to prevent the advancement of such u strong party. It is feared that the result of the expedition will be a great dis- turbance in the country and destruction of the pence and good understanding so long existing tween the Makolalo natives and foreign mer- chants established in the country. : bon Boca’ Death at the Age of 102 Years.

The city coun- cil has, however, taken no action on the mayor's suggestions aud has adjourned until the 8th of next October, two Iate for any sort of street improvements to begin. The mayor has de- termined to call the two boards together at an early day this week to consider if his sugges- tions on the subject of improvements may not be made practical. Some street work will begin ina few days, but this work is work or- dered last year, and the mayor is anxious to see some new work of the kind initiated this year. The electric lights will blaze in August, and there should be good streets under foot as well as good lights overhead, County Covurt.—The Alexandria county court, Judge Chichester, has concluded its August term, its session occupying only one day. The court was almost entirely without judicial business. The calendar cases were all evntinued, as was the landlord and tenant case of Patrick McLaughlin agt. John Butler. County legislation occupied most of the time ofthe court. The question of bringing the Hauntersburg road from Fairfax county into Alexandria county was referred to tha board of supervisors, The Bingham road from Arling- ton to the Columbia turnpike was accepted as acounty road.

HART'S NOTICE OF APPEAL, Mr. Hart said that they would appeal and asked the judge to fix the bond for the pro- duction of the child, submitting that it should said remain with Mrs, Fisher till the final adjudica- ! tion of the case by the General Term. Messrs, Carrington and John Cruikshank argued that the case could not be appealed by respondent. TEMPORARY CUSTODY OF THE CHILD. The judge cited a number of cases and held that there was a right of appeal. On the question of custody Judge Mont- gomery held that it was in the discretion of the court as to whom to commit the care of the child; that he could place it in the care of the marshal or some institution, and if to either of the parties bond should be required for the production of the child. There were strong reasons for giving the mother of the child the custody, and on the other hand it is claimed that the child had been with respondent since it was two days old, and it appears to have been well taken care of. Mr. Hart suggested that in an Indiana case it had been decided that an appeal operated as a stay of proceedings. The judge said that case was under a statute and did not apply here. Mr. Carrington urged that the child should be left with the mother. ‘The judge asked if she could give bond for the production of the boy when the appeal is decided. Mr. Carrington said he understood that she could give ample bond, and he proceeded to argue that the testimony given on the part of the respondent (Mrs. Fisher) had CREATED SOME SUSPICION, especially as it had been shown that interments had been made without permit or record. He incidentally referred to the great interest in the case, and said that his fears and those of the mother had been aroused. Mr. Hart said that he had made no reference to public opinion in the case, but he now felt impelled to reply to the unjust assault. It was unjust to them to bring in here the opinions of the rabble and an insult to the court. The court suggested that he desired argu- ment only on the question of the custody, Mr. Hart then argued that the proof did not show that the petitioner was the proper one for the custody of the child. He warmly de- fended Mrs. Fisher, saying that by taking the child she prevented a crime; that the parties a the child with her simply desired to get rid of it; that it was a question of means ouly with them. The conduct of the white woman was black, and that of the black was white in comparison; one let the child be taken from her and the other took care of the 4 He urged that the child should be n_to the honorable black woman rather the one who had admitted her dishonor. The judge said he would decide the question at 12:30 o'clock. At 12:30 o'clock the Equity Court was well filled again, among those present being Miss Devers and Mrs. Fisher and their friends. The udge read his decision, remarking first that be had looked over a number of habeas corpus cases in which appeals were taken. ‘THE DECISION, The decision is as follows: “From the order of the undersigned award- ing the custody of the infant to petitioner re- spondent appeals to the Court in General ‘erm, “The question now is what shall be done with the child while the appeal is pending. Respondent is anxious to keep him and peti- tioner equally (at least) anxious tur his imme? diate restoration to her. “First let me say: There is not a word in this case to indicate t petitioner is, as has been suggested, a dissolute woman. but, on the con- trary, all the evidence to which the court would listen on that subject indicated that she is what her face unerringly indicates—a true, honest, brave, and good woman. On the other hand, I have been impressed that the respondent is above reproach, unless, indeed, her conduct in connection with the child and with his whole lifetime be an exception, and as to that I am glad that a tribunal is to be resorted to where the whole question can be reviewed and again passed upon. Certain it is this child has been treated by her and her family with uniform kindness and affection. jut, after all, so far it has been judicially de- termined that the petitioner is the mother of the boy. Ithink she is. If she is it is cruelty to her to take from her her child even tempo- rarily. Ido not see how I can, consistently with the decree which I have made, order it. “Ifsuch decree be reversed then she must give up the boy and restore him to Mrs, Fisher. But until such reversal I do not think she ought to be required to. “Therefore, on petitioner giving bond with sureties in the sum of $1,000, the custody of the child during litigation will be committed to her.” THE MOTHER LOOKING FOR A BOXDSMAN. The order was then signed and the petitioner left the court room to secure a bondsman that out of different appropriations. Last year the contract was let toa party in Vallejo, and we now wish to the modus operandi of pay- ment, The contractor is paid for the ice on the 80th of December and the 30th of June of every fiscal year. As there are eight bureaus it re- quires fe ft sets of public bills, each set con- sisting of five vouchers, These vouchers must be signed by the senior members of the board of a that the ice was of good quality, &e, n they go to the general storekeeper for his certificate that he received the ice and gre onsen Uncpptna o's gO commandant for proval; then go to en for the aj of the paymas- ter general, who approves and then sends them to the navy pay office at San Francisco, the contractor in a few Ftd ergo his money. Our readers will see it poving for the ice for the first half of the fiscal year it requires 40 vouchers and 200 signatures; and this is not all nor half. When the ice is received it must be invoiced to the heads of the eight different departments, and these vouchers are in tripli- cate and require three signatures each. Thus it will be seen that there must be 24 vouchers and 72 signatures added to the number men- tioned. This is the routine gone through with on the 30th of every December, and the same thing is gone through again on the 30th of June; but there is more to come. As every contract has a proviso that 20 per cent shall be deducted from every payment until the con- tract is completed, reservation bills must be made out, which requires 40 vouchers and 200 signatures to be added to those already men- tioned; so, taking it all in all, the payment for the one item of ice for the Mare Island navy yard jures in the aggregate 163 vouchers and 744 signatures, This seem incredibl but it 1s a fact.

A GIRL IN A ROBE DE NUIT. — And How She Startled a Young Man in a Sleeper. From the Denver Times. =A young man whose home is in Chicago, and who has been in Denver only a little more than aweek, had an experience in the Pullman sleeper between Kansas City and this point which he will not soon forget. Interesting and novel as it was, he does not care for arepetition of the adventure, At about 12 o'clock of the first night out from Kansas City—the hour when most uncanny things are wont to happen—the young man was awakened in his berth by a pressure on his feet, and he saw sitting at the foot of his bed and dressed for the night ina spotless white garment with insertings and raffles and things foreign to the midnight make-up of male hu- manity, the form of a girl or young woman, whose features he could not distinguish in the dim, if not religious light. While the young man is not susceptible to shocks so far as the foibles of women are involved, he was some- what astounded, and lay still for a few minutes wondering what to do under the circumstances, Presently he found his wits and voice. “Are you comfortable?” he asked in his softest tones. “I'm quite comfortable,” was the calm, un- ruftied reply. ‘The passive assurance of the woman in white interfered somewhat with the young man’s line of thought and conjecture, but he was not long in formulating a second attack, “Wouldn't you prefer a seat at the head of the bed?” he asked, “No, [thank you,” was the response; “I’m very comfortable here.” * _— you would like a pillow?” he sug- gested, offering her one of the two upon which his head had been resting. By this time the young man was thoroughly satisfied that the woman was ‘young and pretty if not unsophisticated, so when she adjusted the pillow between her head and the footboard of the berth the temporary owner of the premises was more pleased than pained. Partly in deference to what he thought was the im- penetrable impudence of his ghostly visitor, partly in a spirit of fan, and partly on account of the proverbial meagerness of the sleeping car pillow, the young man held out the other feather cushion, saying: ‘Won't you take the other one?” Yes, she would and did, placing it with its companion piece and snugly nestling her head upon the pair. All this time the visitor had sat upon the edge of the berth, her feet resting on the floor of the aisle, her head and shoul- ders against the footboard, The conversation which the young man had indulged in was in pianissimo tones, that he should disturb no other occupants of the car. ‘The replies of his unexpected caller had been less guarded in vol- ume. In fact, they might -have been heard a good many feet away had there been any wake- ful ear within the distance named, As the creature in white lay contentedly back upon the pillows, her hands crossed and her breath coming and going with what seemed to be measured regularity, tempus did not fugit very fast for her berth mate. He hardly kuew what to do in the face of such indifference un- der such circumstances, but collected his wan- dering thoughts and asked her again if she was comfortable, ‘Perfectly comfortable,” she said. Hesat upinthe bunk. She didn’t move, He put his feet in the aisle and sat on the edge of the bunk close beside her. She paid no at- tention to him, when a parting of the curtains let a ray of light fall on her tace. SOUND ASLEEP, ‘The eyes were stonily gazing at nothing, and not a feature of the countes.nce betrayed the slightest evidence of cons. 101 mess, The face was pretty and innocent—that of a pure-minded girl between sixteen and twenty years of age. It was plain that she slept; that she wasa somnampulist and that she had no knowledge of her whereabouts nor of her words or deeds, ‘The young man would as willingly have kissed a corpse as that sleeping maiden, He tried by talking to her to find out how she had come to his bunk, but could get no intelligible replies, other than that her ter and herself were traveling to Salidas where they intended visit- ing some friends, and, moreover, her tones were loud. Worst of all the train came to a standstill while he was endeavoring to make her tell where she belonged. The situation was in- creasingly embarrassing. Suppose the girl had a father or big brother on board and that rela- tive should find her in the strange young man’s she will produce the child in the appellate court and will observe and abide the order and judgment of said Court in General Term. Claret Cup and Champagne Cup. From the Boston Herald. The English pride themselves on the various drinks which they designate as “cups.” Those “cider cups,” “claret cups,” “m@selle cups” and “champagne cups”—the preference being given to “claret cups.” To make one of these drinks a writer says that all that is requisite outside of the proper ingredients is ‘somebody who knows how to combine ice, sugar, lemons and the proper drink artistically.” An authority says: “The basis of all whole- some cups is a brew of sugar and lemon ar with a little water—hot, if you can et it convenient; cold, if you are far from a jettle and a fire. If the water is cold the lemon peel must soak a little longer than if bot water be used. The quantity of must vary, of course, in proportion amount of sweetness in the or cider to be used, and will also depend to some extent on the taste and fancy of the mi: our lumps of sugar to a ttle of fair average claret will be about the mark, and for a cup on this scale the following should be the mode of procedure: ‘Take four good-sized lumps of sugar now prosecuted quite successfully in this neigh- borbood..
