The crowd was engaged in looking at three young women who bad just emerged from the water, The women were fairly hand- some and owned fine forms, which were some- ly exhibited.

The death of Dr. Stephenson of Adrian, Mich., who was a member of the medical con- gress to Berlin, has created a profound sensa- tion there, not only in the American colony and in medical circles, but among the general public, by reason of the peculiar circumstances which attended it. On the evening before his death he was in excellent health and spirits and met several of his medical colleagues, with whom he played a game of pokor. The next day he was found dead in his room. The pe- culiar circumstances of his death and the ru- anor that he,bad lost $30,000 in the game of poker the night before aroused the suspicion of the authorities that he had committed suicide by a doso of morphiae, They took posscssion of the body and ordered an investigation, A post-mortem was held, and the ofiicial verdict « that Dr. Stephenson had died from heart jure «uperinduced by morphine, It was not thought that the morphine was taken with suicidal intent, Lhe result of the post-mortem does not, however, allay the sen- sational rumors that aro in circulation.

A Popular Ovation to Marshals Can- robert and MacMahon. The marringe of Clmire Canrobert with Naval Lieut. Fabre Boustand de Novacelle was solemnized yesterday afternoon at the fashion- able church of St. Pierre de Chaillot in Paris, It was made the occasion of # popular ex- pression of the admiration and even reverence entertained by Frenchmen for the two surviv- ing Marshals of France, Cenrobert and Mac- Mahon. The ceremony was celebrated in the little dimly-lighted Chapel of tho Virgin, which was packed to its fullest with distinguished guests. Inthe church had gathered a thon- sand or more peoplo, who did not hesitate to raise a cheer for the two warriors whose names are inseparably linked with the history of the country, as they passed through the sacred building. Outside tho church was _@ large crowd who made the welkin ring with shouts of “Vive Canrobert,” “Vive le Brave,” as the marshal’s bowed and feebie figure, ciad in glittering uni- form and wearing tlie grand cordon of the Le- gion of Honor and the decoration of the Anun- ciada, moved slowly from the carriage to the porch. The old hero, who teaned heavily on his cane with one hand, waved his thanks with the other. Canrobert’s eyes are still bright and sparkling. His hair, which falls in silvery ringlets upon his shoulders, is still plentiful and bis color still fresh. But his back is bowed with the weight of years und his face deeply wrinkled, His white beard is now worn lon; aud full, while the mustache that once aicad out in waxed stiffness is now drooping. Marshal MacMahon, who aiso wore a mar- shal’s uniform, formed quite a contrast with his older comrade in arms, His head is borne erect and his shoulders thrown back squarely, He was not cheered as he entered the church, but on his exit a hearty shout went up for the hero of Magenta, A brilliant cortege was that which followed the bride and her father into the clinpel and took their places before the altar rail, includ- ing as itdid Marshal MacMahon, Admiral Jurien de Ia Geraviere and Admiral Baron Duperre, all in uniform and aggre with jeweled decorations. The bride, who is a brunette, with an interesting, vivacious face, wore severely plain white satin dress, without orna- ments, aud with a long train held by two little girls, The groom, a good-looking man of about twenty-eight, was in uaiform. Canrobert, atter the ceremony, gave a lunch at his residence, Rue de Marignan, During the day he received telegrams of congratula tion from all parts of Europe, among the num- ber being messages from the Prince of Wales, the Duke of Cambridge and Prince Victor Napolean. ‘The soldier who has faced death on many a battleticld without emotion was quite broken down and by these tokens of sympathy wept like a child, and when bis newly-married daughter left him to follow her busband the marshal sank back in his chair, his whole frame shaking with sobs.

A Pretty Young Woman’s Exploit in @ Philadelphia Store. From the Philadelphia Times. A very pretty neatly dressed young woman walked into the shoe store of William Harrison, at the northeast corner of 19th street and Ridge ayenue, yesterday afternoon and quietly re- quested to be shown some low shocs, Mrs, Harrison presented for the young woman’s in- spection a large number of styles.

Beaumont had charge of the distribution of 500 tickets weekly for advertising purposes, and it is alleged that he disposed of a namber of thom at a reduced price and not for the purpose intended, Nearly all the prominent theatrical agents of t are said to be involved in the robbery, | mont being at the head of a pool formed to dispose of tickets of other theaters as well as those of the Chicago Opera House, Although receiving but a moderate salary, Beaumont, it is said, has been enabled since his connection with the theater during the past five years to amass a fortune of $50,000, Gov. Luce Talks About the Alliance. From the Buffaio Express, Gov. Luce of Michigan has been explaining grange mattersto the throngs of people at Chautanqua, There are many mistaken ideas, he says, as tothe purposes of the organization. It was formed to improve the farmer and his children intellectually, to improve his moral character and power and influence, ‘What is | our crying need today? More knowledge, and | the grange labors in season and out of season togive it. It requires as much knowledge properly to conduct a farm as to prosecute any other calling. One of the worst sinners in this world is the man who wears out his farm, There is no need of it. Lhave lived on « farm since 1849. and its soil is richer today than when Itook it from the hand of nature. I never used a ton of commercial fertilizer, and would never do it if I lived to be as old as Methuselah, There is a fertilizer thet is never- failing, that is good everywhere, and the more ou use of it the more you have left, I moan ae brains, Mix it up with your soil, In- crease your brain power all youcan and you will get on.” ‘The real trouble with the farmer just now, Gov. Luce holds, is low prices, We have, of course, casualties and droughts, but the country is making money. Why don’t the rmers get their share? It isn't properly dis- buted, ‘Trusts and combinations of corpora tions prevent it, ‘What we want in our favor is public sentiment, which is stronger than ali other forces. Our interests and those of man- ufacturers are the samo to some extent. You should look to the polls. Don't form a grang- er’s party. The grange would be defeated if you did, Butlook to your congressional can- didates, The farmers ought to have at least ten Senators and fifty Representatives at Washington drawn from their own class,” ———_——_+o0 An Unlucky Steamer, From the Milwaukee Wisconsin, Among the vessels now in port is the first screw steamer built in Milwaukeo. Late in the fall of 1854 the old American Transportation Company steamer Allegheny, with a full cargo of gencral merchandise, stranded near the pres- ent Bay View rolling mille, at the mouth of Deer creek, and went to pieces. Her boiler and engine were saved, and for these a hull was built on Jones Island by J. M. Joues, The launch occurred in 1856 and the name of the jost steamer waz transferred to the new boat, ‘As a precursor of the misfortanes which subse- quently followed the craft in rapid succession, great diticulty was experienced in getting her afloat after she started down the ways, Later on she sauk alongside the dock now occupied by the Milwaukee tug boat line, and in the absence of steam pumps and other modern wrecking appliances, remaincd thoro several months before the transportation company succeeded in floating her, This Mil- watkee experience was only one of a series of unpleasant scrapes in which the unfortunate craft became involved. However, she survives and is at present engaged in the coal snd lum- ber trade rigged as a modern freighter, with three spars instead of tho one originally car- ried. The Allegheny has passed through numerous hands since her launch in 1856, and now belongs to the Tonawanda Bargo Line. Since passing into the hands of this anes tion her “luck” appears to have changed, as her neme is seldom linked with mishups. The Allegheny measures 267 tons, rates A2}¢, and has a Lioyds valuation of €23,090. oo Text Book Revision.

No funeral that ever before took place im the environment of Bunker Hill drew together so varied a gathoring of mourn- ers, The gathering in the church was made up largely of clergymen and notable persons who had been associated with the deceased Poet- patriot. Over 100 members of all the orders of the Catholic priesthood within and without the sanctuary participated in the requiem services, a CHINESE AND COREANS. Serious Disorder Reported From the Frontier, Tho Pekin Gazette recently printed a long re- Port from frontier officials of serious disturb- ances on the Corean borders between Chineso and Coreans, It appears that at one place the boundary botween Mavuchuria and Corea is formed by the Yalu river, and that Coreans have long been in the habit of crossing it for the purpose of cutting wood. Seven years ago # party of them were found thus engaged by the local constable, who subsequently crossed over into Corea and recognized the delinquents. In the quarrel which ensued he was killed, and for four years his family and the Chinese au- thorities urged the Coreans to arrest and punish hie murderer, but in vain. Three years ago Chinese wood cutters began to cross the river to the Corean forests. At first they were not molested, but quite lately the local Corean magistrates sent a body of soldiers to demand duty from the Chinese on the wood they had cut, A battle ensued in which the wood cutters seized the magistrates, the officers, and their troops bound them to- gether and carried them off into Chinese ter- ritory, and as the first guard house was closed they took their captives to the house of the son of the man who had been murdered in Corea some years before. He refased to release them until his father's murderers were given up, and to quicken their efforts he promised to kill every one of them, from chief magistrate to common soldier, unless his defnands were com- plied with, Hereupon ensued an urgent cor- respondence between tho captives and their friends on the other side, with the result that the next day two men were sent acrovs as the murderers, one of whom confessed his guiit and was brained on the spot by his victim's son with an ax. Then the Coreans were released and the Chinese magistrate began an investi- gation into the death of the Corean. He in- yited a Corean magistrate to come across and join him, but the latter begged to be excused on the ground of other judicial engagements, Meantime the king of Corea addressed a re- monstrance to the Chinese government on the subject of illegal wood cutting on his Manchu- rian frontier, and the local magistrate was or- dered from’ Pekin to inquire into the whole matter, including the double tragedy above mentioned. ‘The investigation lasted three years, owing to the death or absence of material witnesses; but the upshot is that the son of the first victim is sentenced to death tor the mur- der of the second in revenge. But just here the sentencing magistrate is reminded of “a recent anmuesty,” the effect of which is that the condemned man will be pardoned if he cou- tributes about £5 toward the funeral expenses of the Corean whom he killed. On the other hand, the Coreans who were carried off by the wood cutters are degraded for demanding a duty, while the wood cut- ters who captured them are said to deserve serious punishment; but as they have oue and all disappeared nothing can be done until they are arrested. Crossing the Yalu Without passports is prohibited, and the king of Corea is asked to remove to his own terri- tory 2.000 Coreaus who have squatted on the Chinese side of the river. In this way the squabbling and disturbances of many years havg, for the present, been brought to a termi- nation, every one being punished all round, except the valiant wood cutters who carried the troops and magistrates of the king of Corea Into captivity, and who have for a time pra- dently removed themselves from the banks of the Yalu. ———--+e+ ROYAL VISITORS COMING.
