FAMOUS ENGLISH TRAMPs. Some of the Great Men Who Have Walked a Great Deal. From the Youth's Companion. It is calculated that Wordsworth, in his many years of sauntering, must have traveled a dis- ance of 180,000 miles. What sights he saw durring such prolonged and delightful wander- ings only those who have the poet's mind and eye can guess, Charles Dickens was a confirmed tramp, and no doubt acquired his experience of “life on the road” from actual acquaintance with ail sorts of vagabonds and odd characters, such as frequent town and country lanes and high- ways. One of the most remarkable of unprofes- sional walkers was Professor Wilson, the “Christopher North” of literature. His fine physique and great endurance mpted him the ‘ormance of wonderful feats, which to him entirely a matter of course. He once walked forty miles in eight hours, and at another time walked from Liverpool to Eheray in twenty-four hours, a distance of eighty miles. It is good to think of the long, unwearied strides with which be swun along, his blood bounding with healthy pulses, and sending invigorating waves to the active brain, Henry Fawcett, also, and one who when de, a moment think of relinquishing this among many forms of exercise. His was a familiar figure on the roads about Cambridge, and there is no exaggeration in saying that few men blessed with ull bis senses could enjoy nature more thoroughly than he. Southey, worn and preyed upon by mental application and the practical anxieties of every- Gay life, found his atest relief in tramping about the country, listening for what nature had to tell him and learning contentment from her stability. John Stuart Mill delighted in pe- tours, and Chas. Lamb, though he better than country, was one who believed in sweeping cobwebs irom the brain by brisk and continuous walking. see == A Photographic Mystery. ‘From the Ipswich (Engisnd) Exchange. Saturday afternoon R. Cash, master of the Sirehall board school, and E. R. Pringle, so- licitor, were taking photographs of the ship- ping at the spot where the Old Mills once stood and still known by that name. In the evening, however, while developing this par- ticular plate in the dark-room at bis own house—Mr. Pringle being still in his com- pany—he was perfectly astounded by an &ppearance which he had never seen when taking the photograph and for which he could im no way account. On com- pleting the development there was plainly revealed in the foreground of the picture the figure of a woman apparently floating upright in the water, as it is declared that drowned bodies sometimes will appear after immersion for a length of time. “Icannot in the least explain how it got there,” said Mr. Cash, when interviewed Mon- day, ‘but there is the negative and you can see for yourself.” And it can only be said that the woman is unmistakably shown. It is no shadowy likeness, difficult to detect, nor does it require pointing out before the lines can be traced, as with the puzzle pictures so com- monly seen. The face and head are clearly outlined; the arms are hanging straight by the side of the body, which is clad in ordinary female attire snd is visible to the waist, and the portrait generally appears to be that of a tall and comely young woman. There is nothing repulsive in the photograph, although it looks weird and ghost-like. Ths first idea naturally suggested was that the pho- tograph plate had reaily detected a body which was invisible to the naked eye. Unable to sccount for the apparition, Mr. Cash com- municated with the borough police, one of whom was so struck with the reality of ‘the picture that he at first imagined it to resemble some woman in town and inquired whether she had lately been heard of. Next morning. and very properly so, the river was dragged at this particular spot, but no body was found and so far, therefore, the climax of the narra- tive is happily left wanting. It is a perplexing mystery. ——_—_-—+e+___ Not Adapted to the Summer Hotel. Frow the Boston Herald. “Why don’t I go to a hotel?” replied a Bos- ton woman the other day to the remark of a friend that it would be a pleasant change from her summer housekeeping. “This is why I don’t board. I have to say ‘Good morning’ to fifty people I don’t care a straw about, Ever: time I step on the piazza the other women asl me how I do, if lam going to drive, if my book is ‘nice’ if—well, you know the formula. Now, some of these people I like and some I detest: but I have to be civil whether I feel in the mood ornot. If remain in my room I am called ‘reserved,’ disagreeable or worse. I loathe Christmas and church fairs, Any serious read- ing out of doors is not to be thought of, be- enuse it is impossible to concentrate the ave- rage mind in a chatter about the relative mer- ite of a Rosenvaum or a Redfern gown, or whether foulard 1s preferable to India silk, and what boat or train somebody's husband comes on that afternoon. No, I am not adapted to the summer hotel.” ——_—+oe______ Knocked Out in One Round. From the Chicago Inter-Ocean. Wagg, to his sister—The young man with whom you came home last night was a thor- oughly disreputable feilow. Sister—So I inferred. He said, poor fellow, that he had been intimate with you for many years. —_——-+e+-______ Vaseline for the Shoes. From the St. Louis Republic. “The women have a new use for vaseline,” observed a drug clerk, as he jorked his thumb over his right shoulder in the direction of a well-dressed lady who was leaving the store after having made a purchase of the petroleum e ound. hat’s that?” They are using it on their shoes now.” “On their shoes?” “Yes, and the ladies must be given credit for having made a vainable discovery. The in- gredients of vaseline have a wonderful effect on fine leather. and it is fast taking the place of all the compounds manufactured for soften- ing the shoes. Take a pair of shoes that have stiff and uncomfortable by constant wear in the rain and apply a coat of vaseline, rubbing it in well with a cloth, and in « short time the leather becomes as soft and pliable as when it is taken from the shelves of the shoe dealer. Yes, indeed, this rainy weather has caused quite a boom in the vaseline trade.” a lleasind Mackerel for America. ‘From the London Daily News. A new industry—or rather the quite unex- ected development of a recent industry—is on its way to success in the south of Ireland. ‘There is no landlord of the seus, and along that southern coast there is a rich harvest to be got in. Latterly the mackerel have been extremely sbundant, but the season for their capture has heretofore been the end of spring and the com- mencement of summer. Last spring the fishing was successful, but noton the whole very re- numerative. The success was so great that supply seemed almost to execed dem Sud- THE TWO SLUGGERS. Sullivan Arrives in New York—Kil- rain Will Go to Mississippi. John L. Sullivan arrived on the 8 o'clock train last night in New York. He was sccom- panied only by Matthew Clune, the proprietor of the Vanderbilt hotel. At the depot to meet him were Charley Johnson, Jim Wakeley, John Brennan and Jack Burnett. The party ar- rived at the Vanderbilt hotel at 840. The Porchester band accompanied Sullivan to the hotel. Clune says it is true that they were going to form a combinstion and that Kilrain will probably be in the company. Fully a thousand persons had gathered at the hotel entrance and s hundred hands were stretched out for him to grasp, but without paying any attention to them he cleared the sidewalk in three Jumps and rushed up the staire and was within his room within thirty seconds after his arrival. Being interviewed, Sullivan said: “Boys, I am very tired, but I never felt in better condi- tion in’ my life. I had an ovation at every station on my route from the south, and at Cincinnati, Pittsburg and Philadelphia im- mense crowds greeted me, and others filled the car I was in and insisted on shaking hands with me. B — is your opinion of the verdict, john?” “Judge Terrill, in ch: ig the jury said Sullivan, with «show of Bitterness, “brought out every point it was possible to use against me, and the moment the charge was delivered I knew there could be no other verdict. Al- most without exception the people of the south favor me, and I was comstantiy in receipt of encouraging letters from men in the highest social and business circles, who understood that I had no intention of violating the laws of the state of Mississippi. Ihope that when my case is reached by the supreme court the de- cision of the lower court will be reversed, as I dread imprisonment, and would not have fought in the state had I known that I rendered my- self linble to a term of imprisonment. I hope to be able to leave the city tomorrow afternoon for Boston. I am in receipt of a telegram from my people there stating that my mother is very sick and urging me to hurry.” JAKE 18 GOING SOUTH. Detective Childs, who went to Baltimore from Mississippi to take Jake Kilrain back with him, | said last night that Jake had consented to go without any further trouble in court, and that the pair would start south quietly this morning. Kilrain was out on $2,000 bail till Thursday, John Rooney being his bondsman,and was then to go in court to answer why he should not be taken south on the requisition. His counsel was Joseph Whyte. Mr. Whyte came down to his office yesterday expecting to see the pugi- list, but Jacob did not show up, at least he had not dove so at 2 p.m. In the evening Jake came down town, and had a consultation with Detective Childs and Marshal Frey, at which, it is understood, they agreed that Jake should start off quietly this morning with the detective. Jake seemed in good humor last night and said he guessed he could stand it if Sullivan could, After the conference, Kilrain, Detec- tives Gault and Childs strolled leisurely down the street. The following tch was received last night from ‘ich.: “Governor Lowry has received a telegram from Agent Childs that Kilrain’s lawyer had advised him not to fight bemg extradited, and that he would come with his prisoner to-day or to- ress dis ‘ackson, morrow.” SLUGGER JACKSON LEAVES TODAY. Peter Jackson, the Australian pugilist, who has been looking over eastern cities for some man to defeat and trying to make money by sparring Jack Fallon, wiil sail today on the Ne- vada for the other side. Parson Davies goes with him as manager. Jackson will try and get some European siuggers to stand up before him for a few rounds for a consideration. sos Richmond Delegates for Mahone. The republicans of Richmond, Va., held pre- cinct meetings last night to elect delegates to the city convention, which meets tonight to select the twenty-six delegates and thirteen alternates to. which Richmond is entitled in the state convention that assembles in Norfolk on Thursday. The attendance was generally slim end the ions short. The anti-Mahonites made a fight in five or six precincts, and in one of these there was a split and two sets of dele- gates were chosen. The resistance did not amount to much and it is @ foregone conclu- sion that the delegation from this city will be solid for Mahone. Spain Don’t nt the Pope. The Spanish government has sent a circular to all the provincial governors of Spain direct- ing them to refrain from taking part in the movement which is in progress to induce the pope to take up his residence in Spain and — them to discourage itas much as pos- sible, ——+e+___.

It was officially stated yesterday from Cardi- nal Gibbons that the answers to the invita- tions referring to the centennial of the Catho- lic hierarchy to be held in Baltimore, begin- ning November 10, indicate a very large attendance and an observance upon @ mag- nificent scale. A unique feature will be the _. at dance of # delegation from me, headed by a prelate holding a bigh rank in the propaganda. Cardinal Taschereau, archbishop of Quebec, yesterday returned a cordial acceptance of the invitation, and fully fifty of the bishops of the United States will be resent, besides Canadian archbishops and ishops. A delegation of distinguised laymen from the Pacific slope hi sent requests that seats be reserved. Bishop Keane, rector of the university at Washington, called upon Cardinal Gibbons yesterday. —eoe. - A Coal and Iron Plant Sold. ‘The Brierfield coal and iron company’s prop- erty was sold yesterday under an order of the United States court, the bond holders buying itin for $600,000. The plant is situated in Bibb county. Ala., and consists of a furnace, nailery and 32,000 acres of coal and iron land.

In Philadelphia at a meeting yesterday of the executive committee of the Universal Peace union an address to the people of the United States was adopted, suggesting the creation of @ national relief fund to be applied in relieving distress caused by flood, fire, pestilence, famine, earthquake, &c. It is suggested that any re- mainder of the Johnstown money might be used as a nucleus of the fund. The board of trustees is to consist of the governors of states, with the President of the United States as chirman. Copies of the address will be sent to ly the idea has been started to organize an eatumn season. America is the great customer, but this country is alsoa consumer. Already orders have come from New York, and, Kinsale having been selected as headquarters for the fishery, ali the boats along the coast have been chartered and men and bors engaged.

Difficulty in Getting Bait. The Newfoundland government is enforcing the bait act with a good deal of vigor. One cruiser, the Lady Glover, has made eight seizures this season. The masters of two of the vessels were sentenced to pay a fine of $1,000 each or to undergo an imprisonment of five months, The others were imprisoned for terms of five months downwar ‘To show what shifts owners and masters of schooners are now put to and the artifices that have to be resorted to in order to get bait it is but neces- sary to describe the plan adopted by one de- tected French vessel.

Nothing of the sort hag been found before in those waters, although a case was reported some years ago from Long Island sound, Mr. Taylor's lobster is of a pure ultramarine blue of handsome shade, Along the back the color of this singular crustacean is almost as dark as indigo. but at the sides it is as light as a robin’s egg, aud in the joints of the shell shades away to a delicate cream color, In an ordinary lobster these parts would be shaded in dark and light greens. The claws of the blue lobster are slightly mottled in shades of blue and purple on top and a most delicate cream underneath. Mr. Taylor's lobster car has been a center of interest for the curious since the capture. It was caught in an ordinary pot and it differs inno way except in color from other lobsters. It will be boiled for the sake of seeing to what color it will turn during the process, ee _____ The Duelists May Escape. A Birmingham, Ala., special to the New York Herald says: It seems that Messrs. Calhoun and state prett; linl bare el wi Williamson, the Georgia duelists, will not be where the duel was fought, to secure indict- ments against the principals and seconds if possible. At first it was not certain that the encounter took @ in Alabama—the ground was so near the line. When the question was settled the solicitor tried to find acitizen of Alabama who witnessed the duel, but so far he has not been successful. It seems that only Georgians wit- nessed it, and they canuot be brought to Ala- bama to testify before a grand jury. The officers of Cherokee county are kesntna: a close watch, and if any of the witnesses should enter the state they will be immediately sum- moned before the grand jury. This service would then be legal. They could be held as witnesses and required to give bond for their appearance at the trial. Unless witnesses can be caught in this way the prospects are that pos pens and Williamson will escape indictment and arrest. Senator Faulkner Injured. A Martinsburg, W. Va., special to the Balti- more American says that Senator Faulkner will be compelled to remain indoors or go upon crutches from a severe fracture of the left ball bat, which he trod upon in his lawn Saturday. The bat turned under his foot, causing him to fall and fracture his knee cap. Like Gen.
