This is the com- pleted Ministry, with the exception of the law oflioere for England, Scotland and Ireland. a son, through whom Major Maitland claims the peerage. Three days prior to his death Sir Richard Maitlend was married to Mary McAdems by Rev. Dr. Ogilvie, of Trinity Church, New York. The marriage was celebrated without license or the calling of bone, and the questions before their Lordships were whether the marriage was legal, and it so whether it legitimized the children born prior to wedlock. On these two questions much expert evidence of the United States lawyers was taken, and after due considera- tion an opinion in the affirmative was given in each case, and the claim of the petitioner was granted. J A Lively Scene with 3 Whale. The steamer Valera, of this port, Capt. Haskell, is engaged in shooting whales for the factory at Boothbay. Thursday, when off Cape Porpoise, and just in sight of land, an immense whale was encountered and the steamer started in pursuit, but just as they get near enough to fire at the monster he sounded. The steamer started again for the prey when he came to the surface, and this time they got in a shot. Mr. Haskell, brother of the captain, fired the bomb, and it entered the animal, which immediately swam with great speed directly out to sea. The steamer followed, and, after a long and exciting chase, suc- ceeded in driving the whale inshore, when he again sounded. After a short time, dur- ing which the steamer lay to and awaited for the reappearance of the monster. he rose to the surface and plunged directly for the boat. Had he struck the little ves- eel, coming as he was with almost irre- sistible force, she would certainly have sunk. The signal to back was given, the steamer coming round just in time to allow the whale to dash by only a few feet from the side. Haskell, afraid of losing the” prey. again 'fired, and this time the bomb accomplished its work, and the dead body of the animal sank in 75 fathcms of water. The whale was very large for the species, being fully twice as long as the Valera, a forty-five-foot vessel. The car- cass will come to the surface in eight or nine days, when it will be taken in tow by the steamtrrâ€"Portland (Me. ) Press. The Descendant 0! ma Fouth Son Beats that of the F11": Son. ALondon cable says: The disputed Lauderdale peerage case, which has been before the Committee of Privileges of the House of Lords from the early part of last month, was decided yesterday in favor of the petitioner, Major Maitland. Major Maitland claimed the peerage as being descended from the fourth son of the sixth “arlot Lauderdale. as against Sir James Fenland. the heir ol the fifth son of the aims Earl. The fourth son, Sir Richard Maitlaud, who was Adjutant-General of the North American colony from 1765 to 1772, lived in oonoubinage with Mary McAdams in New York, by whom he had r Rough and Tumble Fight of Two Noble- men Over Mrs. Langtrv. ALondon cable says: The fracas on Rotten Row yesterday between Lord Lons- dale and Sir George Chetwynd has created an enormous sensation in fashionable circles throughout London. Tc-day it forms the chief topic of discussion at the clubs and other resorts of the aristocratic and fashionable world. From the account of the eye-witness to the encounter it is learned that Sir George was the first to attack. He galloped up to Lord Lonsdale with his riding whip upraised and before the apparently astonishedlord could defend himself struck him a stinging blow full across the head, saying as he did so, “ Take that, you devil.” The blow knocked Lord Lonsdale’s hat off. After receiving the blow he reined his horse back a few steps, and, quickly recovering himself, asked his assailant what the hm-l he meant. Sir George replied, “ Don’t meddle with my Lily,” meaning Mrs. L mgtry, fit the same time making another drive at Lord Lone- dale, and striking him again with his whip full across the shoulders. Lonsdale by this time returned the blow with a sharp cut on the head of Sir George. The horses at this point reared, plunged and kicked in such a way that for a time it looked as though the combatants would be unhorsed. The men continued to fight, however, finally dismounting and going to work in a thoroughly pugilistic style. Sir George got the noble lordis head in chancery, and for a time pummslled him Vigorously. In the struggle both fell and rolled over and over in the dust, striking and kicking one another in a desperate way. They regained their feet and were in the middle 0: another round when mounted police oflicers rode up and separated them. The clothing of both men was torn to shreds, while their faces were swollen and scratched almost beyond recognition. Both men drew blood. The police summoned carriages, and hustling them into the vehicles, ordered the drivers to take them to their respective homes. Legal proceedings are threatened, but their friends are hard at work trying to adjust and smooth over the episode. fearing unsavory exposures should the affair be brought into court. The combatants are both young men, Lord Lonsdale being 28 years old, while his assailant, Sir George, is not more than 36. Lord Rosebery will deliver a political address at Iverness in August. It is announced that Mr. Theodore Frelinghuyeen, son of the late Secretary of State, will be privately married next month to Miss Alice Coats. daughter of Mr. James Coats, of Rhode Island. Immediately alter the wedding the young couple will sail for Scotland, and spend several weeks with the bnde’s grandfather, Sir Peter Coats, in Ayrshire. Dr; Charles Rogers, of Edinburgh, in the course of prosecuting some genealogical inquiries in the General Register House, has fallen upon a. monetary bond granted by the grandfather and uncle of Robert Burns to David Stuart, of Aberdeen. The document is of curious interest; it is dated gt Stonehaven. 16th February,1744.

The procession was arranged by Sir Henry Ponsonby, the Lord Chamberlain and the Lord Steward. The Duchess of Bedlord acted as Mistress of Robes, in place of the Duchess of Roxburghe, who could not attend. A few minutes before 1 o’clock the Royal equerries rode up and were followed by the procession, which was headed by the Royal family, then followed the Royal guests from abroad. Next came Prince Henry. attended by his supporters, Prince Alexander of Bulgaria and Prince Francis Joseph of Battenberg, his two unmarried brothers. The bridegroom wore a white uniform, and on the front of his coat there were numerous Orders. THE DRIDEGROOM. Prince Henry of Battenberg was born in October. 1858, andis therefore in his 27th year. He is a lieutenant in the First Regi- ment of Prussian Hussars of the Rhine, and is a cousin of the Grand Duke of Hesse. His only sister is married to the Count d’Erbach Schonberg ; and his brothers are Prince Louis of Hesse, who recently mar- ried the Princess Victoria. the daughter of the late Princess Alice ; Prince Alexander of Bulgaria and Prince Francis Joseph, a lieutenant ol the Hessian Guards. He is good-looking and amiable, and is on excel- lent terms with his family. It is not pre- tended that his career has, so far, been distinguished. Neitherl on the other hand, is it alleged that he has been guilty of any serious faults. In fact, the breath of scan- dal has not assailed his name. His charac- ter is unimpeachable. It is said that the Queen intends to make her new son-in-law her private secretary. The report may, of course, be without toundation, but there is apparently some reason to believe that it is not merely a piece of gossip. It Prince Henry of Battenberg undertakes the duties ‘ of private secretary to the Sovereign of this country, he may obviously develop into a person of considerable importance and of some authority. ‘ The ten bridesmaids, daughters of the Prince of Wales, the Duke of Edinburgh, the Grand Duke of Hesse, and Prince Christian. did not enter the church with the procession, but waited in a temporary structure at the entrance of the church for the bride. The Prince and Princess of Wales also waited with the bridesmaids. ARRIVAL OF THE BRIDE. A few minutes after the procession had entered the church the arrival of the Queen with the bride was announced by the firing of the Royal salute and the cheering oi the immense assemblage which lined the entire route from the Palace to the church, while the pipers played the Highland Laddie amrch, and the Spithead and Solent guns thundered out their salute. The Queen entered the church on the bride's lett, the Pirnoe of Wales was on the bride’s right, and the Princess of Wales followed.heading the ten bridesmaids. The Princess Beatrice was very calm and collected, and smiled recognition of her personal friends. and gracefully bowed right and left in acknowledgment of the salutes ot the guests as she proceeded up the aisle to the altar. Eer Majesty wore a black broche grena- dine. It is extremely rich and perfectly marvellous as a specimen of the finest and most skillul silk weaving that has ever been accomplished in Europe. It was made at Lyons. a new Jacquard loom being specially erected, and a new and separate set of cards prepared for that piece of material alone, so that no other can he made. The pattern is rather a large flower of double Wire silk grenadine on a double broche ground, and it will look very handsome when made up over a thin. bright black silk. THE mains. The Princess Beatrice is now in her 29:h year. two years the senion of her husband, a difference on the wrong side. The Prin- cess has married late and has not followed the example of her brothers and sisters. The following is an interesting comparison : The Princess Beatrice is now married in her 29th year, the Princess Royal married in her 18th year, the Prince of Wales was married when in his 22nd year,the Princess Alice in her 20511 year, the Duke of Edin- burgh in his 30th yearl the Princess Helena in her 218i: year. the Princess Louise in her 24th year, the Duke of Connaught in his 29th year, the Duke 0! Albany in his 30th year. The united ages at marriage of the five Royal Princesses make 111 years; the united ages at marriage of the tour Princes also make 111 years. By striking an aver- age one finds that the Princesses are married at 22 1-5, and the Princes at 27%. THE BRIDE'S DRESS. The bride looked very handsome, and her splendid figure, which would serve as a model for a sculptor, showed to the great- est advantage her magnificent costume. The wedding-dress was made of the very richest duchesse satin, draped with the same lace in which the Queen was married to the Prince Consort. It was made at Eoniton. and the Royal crown is intro- Alast (Thursday) night‘s London cable gives the following further particulars of the wedding of Prince Henry of Battenberg to Princess Beatrice: The guests from Darmstadt were the Grand Duke of Hesse, the Hereditary Prince and Princesses Irene and Victoria, Prince Alexander of Hesse and wife, the Princess of Battenberg, Prince Alexander of Bulgaria, Prince Francis of Bettenberg, and the Count and Countess Erbach Schcnberg. The English guests, besides the members of the Royal family, included a number of private friends and a few political notables. The Ministerislists were represented by the Marquis and Marchioness of Salisbury, Lord and Lady Iddesleigh, Duke and Duchess of Richmond, Sir Richard and Lady Cross and Sir Michael and Lady Lucy ‘ HicksBeach. The Opposition invitations included Mr. and Mrs. Gladstone, Earl and Countess of Granville, the Marquis of Hartington, Duke and Duchess of Argyll and Duke and Duchess of Bedtord. All the seats in the church were numbered. and the guests had taken their places at half-past 12. Bridal Costume and Trousseau of the Bride. THE PRINCE ATTENDED BY HIS BROTHERS.

THE PROCEESION‘ The costume lor going away,nlthough the distance is not very greatâ€"merely to Quarr Abbey, near Rydeâ€"â€"is made of cream bro- caded crepe de Chine, trimmed with the finest Irish point lace,which is carried down the front on the drapery that crosses to the left side, and is extended to the back of the dress. The skirt is simply arranged, out falls in graoelul folds. There is a short paletot of the same material, with dolman sleeves, and the lace is again carried down both sides of the front of the dolman and round the sleeves; the costume is quite short at the back. giving ample room for the skirt puffings at the back of the waist. The bonnet is made of white velvet, the edges worked with silver thread in an elongated buttonhole stitch. Four large ostrich feathers are placed above the face, with a white osprey in the centre, and a bunch of white heather at the side, the Scotch mode of expressing " good luck.” TEE PRINCESS. SIX GOWNS. The Princess is furnished with eight new costumesâ€"her wedding dress, her travelling dress, and six gowns for general use. Sev- eral oi the latter are quite unique. There is one pink spotted crepe de Chine, trim- med with the finest point d’aiguille, car- ried across the front and down the train piece. At the side pink moire hows, the ends terminating in pink aiguillette. The bodice is low, pointed back and front, and draped with lace and crepe de Chine. Next comes a reeeda. Sicilienne which has a perfectly plain train, bordered with close-set loops or the material. The petti- ccat is white satin, covered with net worked with pendants of metallic-tint- ed beads of the shade of the Sicil- ienne and golden brown, intermixed with pearls. At the sides, from the bodice, are long tabs of the Sioilienne, edged with a fringe formed of satin drops. The sleeves are 0! tulle, draped very high ; the bodice, which is a low square, bordered with tulle. has a gold stomeoner. At the back of the waist the skirt is bouflente, and there are two small bouquets on the bodice. Aperfecu gem of a. gown is arioh red velvet, which has quite a plain skit-ti, the front elaborately embroidexed with beads of the exact shade ; the bodice draped with velvet: and headed to match; the short sleevee caught up on the shoulders. It would be impossible to attempt an enumeration of all the wedding presents which have been sent to Osboxne during the past fortnight). Awhite brocaded erepe and satin has draperies of crepe and large appliques of pearls; on the side plaits in the term of pieotees with leaves. Up the sides beyond are horizontal rows of pearl fringe, set uite close together. The sleeves reach to n e elbow and a. pearl stomaeher keeps the draperies of tulle in their places. This gown is costly and elaborate, though with all the grace of simplicity. The wedding breakfast was held at Osborne in a tent on the lawn, and the chief feature was the cake, a high structure of sweetness weighing 250 pounds. It was built in three tiers, and stood six feet high. It was really three cakes one above the other, and on the plateau upon which it rested, and surrounding the lower cake, was a wreath of lilies, White, interspersed with ivy, emblematic of purity, sweetness and friendship. Surrounding the lowest oake were large skeleton shields, bearing on enclosed shields the coat-of-arms of the Princess Beatrice and Prince Henry of Battenberg, interspersed with passion flowers. It was adorned with 500 sprays of flowers. Sur- rounding the second cake were jessamine, and round the second and third cakes were passion flowers, ivy and roses. 0n the top cake were cupids and a large vase contain- ing an immense bouquet composed ofa variety of emblematic flowers. As the bridal party left the church Mendelssohn’s wedding march was played. THE HONEYMOON. After the breakfast the happy couple proceeded to Qusrr Abbey. Lady Coch- rane’s charming place, near Ryde. Where they will pass a week, completing their honeymoon afterwards by a cruise in the Victoria and Albert. There is also one of the most original of dresses among the number. It has a trained back of stripes, with white velvet motifs on the white satin, and alternate stripes of muslin printed in pink, with a. Persian design ; the bodice of the same ; the tunic is formed of pink lisse ribbon, with a. pearl edge, and embroidered white muslin, row sewn to row; the bodice is trimmed to correspond. And last, though by no means least, is a blue silk of quite another character. It is draped with striped satin and spotted crepe of the same shade ; the front of the shirt is arranged in a broad box-plait, on which is s. robing formed of gold braiding graduating to the waist, the gold tinsel having distinct tinges of grey. green and brown. The front of the bodice forms s. good stomscher, ending at the waist in a point ; the sleeves full to the elbow ; the bodice is a low square, pointed back and front. There, ladies, whet do you think of all this 7 IRISH POPLIN. A great deal of Irish poplin was purchased for the troussesu, and among others Messrs. Atkinson, the old-established poplin manutaoturers at College Green. duced into the pattern. The front of the dress has a deep satin kilting, over which is a fringe of orange blossom buds falling on the hiking; above this is draped the lace her Majesty has lent for the occasion to the bride. The back of the dress is a plain train of satin, the edge hemmed over wedding, with lace on the wrong side, which is not visible from the outside. The lace on the dress is caught up with bunches of orange blossom. and on the left side is a panel formed of the same flower. The white satin bodice is low, and pointed back and front. The short sleeves are lace, draped to the shoulder; more lace is laid round the top of the bodies, with a gar- land of orange blossom, a few tufts of white heather resting in the front. The veil matches the lace on the gown. THE CEREMONY. Prince Henry stood at the south side of the altar and awaited the bride. Wagner’s bridal match was played on the organ and the impressive ceremony, which was full choral, the boys from St. George‘s. London, assisting. commenced. The Archbishop of Canterbury read the service and was assisted by the Bishop of Winchester, the Dean of Windsor and Canon Prcthero. The bride and bridegroom answered the responses clearly and distinctly, so that their voices were heard in every part of the church. The Queen gave the bride away. At the close of the service Mendelssohn’s anthem was sung. after which the Queen, Prince Henry and the relatives of both sides kissed the bride. THE TRAVELLING DRESS. WEDDING PRESENTS RICHDION D HILL THURSDAY, AUGUST 6, 1885. THE BREAKFAST. Grant; told the story with s. gusto, and seemed especially to recall Lincoln’s quick sense of the ridiculous. The Grant Gcncrnl’s Firs! Interview with Alexander I]. Stephens. Grant has uttered his last words, writes a Washington correspondent. They were the relation of an anecdote which is not in the published excerpts of his history. General Butler called on him on the evening previous to his speech- lessness, and immediately after Butler departed he fell asleep, to awaken un- able to speak. Except for a good-bye to his visitor and a brief order to his nurse, the story was doubtless his ultimate ct oral intercourse. He said that when the famous Peace Commission called on him and President Lincoln in Virginia, he saw Alexander E. Stephens lor the first time. He had heard much of the Southern states- man, and he supposed him to be a very little man; but on seeing him in company with the other com- missioners, be though him astonish- ingly big. Stevens wore a huge overcoat made of some rude materialâ€" coarser, the General said, than any Cana- dian cloth he had ever seen. The collar was more comprehensive than any he had ever come across, the tails touched the ground, and the circumference was in keeping with the rest of the ample propor- tions. In Grant's headquarters Stephens took off his coat and revealed himself the slender and in every way diminutive man he had been represented to be. It was the garment that had afforded bulk to him. The Peace Commission went up on the York River to see Lincoln, and a few days after the President came down to meet Grant. The Salvation Army has been in the habit of holding services in Crescent Park, Schenectady. Thursday evening, saysa telegram to the New York World, the services were conducted as usual, and Com- missioner James '1‘. Spiers, a newly appointed member of the excise board of this city,attended. One of the Salvaticnists got up and said that he was a devoted Christian. Mr. Spiers in a strident voice declared to the enthusiast that “ the Lord didn’t love anybody who didn’t pay his grocery bills.” This declaration caused so much excitement that the speaker could not go on. and the order was given to sing. This hushed the discussion for a brief time. When the next man in the little band arose, he said that for all the riches of the world he would not exchange his happiness since he had become converted. At this Exciseman Spiers remarked that any man who felt so good ought to payabillof $55.20. This was too much for the Salvationists. They marched to their barracks. followed by a disorderly crowd. " Did you see Stephens ?“ Mr. Lincoln asked. " Yes, sir,” replied Grant. “ See him in his overcoat ‘2” “Yes, sir.” “ See him make it off ‘2” " Yes, sir.” " Welh" and Lincoln roared with laugh- ter. “ ain‘t that the litmlest ear out of ’ohe biggest 311qu that: you ever saw in your Me 1’” That there is a proper time and place to sneeze, both when it esn be profitably done. is evinced by the conduct of a young ensign. poor and friendless, of the English army, says the Manchester Times, He was once attendinga grand ball, and stood near a. duohess. She inadvertently uttered an enormous sneezeâ€"in feet, a. snort oeloul- ated to bring on her the ridicule of the assembled guests. The young ensign took in the situation, re-eohoed the restrain, and grasping his nose as it to throttle the sneeze. rushed from the room, leaving the guests to suppose that he was the ofiender‘ The next day he received'a captain’s com- mission from the duchess’ husband, with a line from the lady that “ it was an ill sneeze did nobody any good." Her Royal Highness is taking is small army of boots and shoes with her. Nice little seaside shoes, or yachting shoes, are made of Russian leather of the natural color, and deliciously perfumed. Light shoes are prettily embroidered in gold with the rose, shamrock and thistle; theee are also repeated with silver embroidery and black. The Princess has some mcun- taineering boots studded with nails, and made stout enough to strike joy into the heart of a. sportsmen. Some of her riding- boots are lined with white astreehen and edged with the same fur, but black; others have no lining. Her travelling boots are all lined throughout with seal- skin. There is also a. most ingenious case of solid leather, fitted to hold four pair of boots, 9. pair of riding-boots and 9. pair of shoes, with boot-trees, boot-jacks and shoe-horns. Besides all these arrangements there are brushes and tin cases to contain thefivarious kinds of blaoking. “ Neinher God Not Master " is the name 0! the anatohiaha‘ paper printed at Brussels The Queen also selected for her daughter some exquisite specimens of white sand écru silk Irish laceâ€"s. specialite which Messrs.

Hayward. of Oifin-u "street, re- ceived the Royal command some time ago to take a. selection of lanes 120 Windsor Castle, and from these Her Majesty chose for the Princess twelve yards of the finest point de gaze in flounee width and six yards narrower. The pattern is a very elaborate one of roses and tuberoses, and can hardly be excelled for beauty. II: has been made up with exquisite taste as a dinner gown with pink spotted crepe de Chine. lDublln, made some magnificent specimen of these rich and unique materials. One is ivory white in a. small yet rich eastern design interwove with many gold threads ; another is of the most splendid tint of brilliant cardinal color, and so soft that it drapes magnificently : while u. third of rather lighter make is pale sky-blue, with a. pattern of torget-me-not sprays all over it. LACES. Messrs. Howall and James, _who are specialists in the way of lace, and experi- enced judges of it, supplied some mast beautiful black Chantllly in two widths, one wide enough for e flounce and the other narrower, so as to form garnlture to match. The lightness and richness of the pattern are remarkable, and, beeldes the flowers, It shows at regular intervals the daintisst of little baskets, out of which Florn‘s treasures appear to be falling in profuslon.

HEB BOOTS AND EHOES Physicians pronounced him totally insane, and he was taken to the First Police Precinct: and locked up until the proper papers csnje prepared to send him no the County Insane Asylum. His sister is nearly overcome with grief, and much sympathy is expressed for her. The young man is not expected to live long, as he is wasting away from consumption. Now that the small fruits are becoming more abundant, preserving will be the order of the day. Eousekeepers who die- like the tedious, old-time fashion of clarity- ing sugar and boiling the fruit will, the Tribune and Farmer thinks, appreciate the following two recipes, no fire being needed in their preparation. The first is for “ tutti frutti,” and has been repeatedly tested with unvarying success. The second is from an English correspondent: First. Put one quart of white preserving brandy or arrac (1e Batavia into a two gallon stone jar that has a tightly fitting top. Then for every pound of fruit, in prime condition and per- fectly dry, which you put in the brandy or arrac, use three-quarters of a pound of granulated sugar; stir every day so that the sugar will be dissolved, using a clean wooden spoon kept for the purpose. Every sort of fruit may he used, commencing with strawberries and ending with plums. Be sure and have at least one pound of black cherries, as they make the color of the preserve very rich. Strawberries, rasp- berries, blackberries, apricots, cherries, sweet and sour, peaches, plums, are all used, and, if you like, currants and grapes. Plums and grapes should be peeled and seeded. The jar must be kept in a cool, dry place, and the daily stirring must never be forgotten, for that is the secret of success. You may use as much of one sort of fruit as you like, and it may be put in from day to day, just as you happen to have it. Half the quantity of spirits may be used. The preserve will be ready for use within a Week alter the last fruit is put in, and will keep for a number of months. We have found it good eight months after making. Second. Take some pure white vinegar and mix with it granu- lated sugar until a syrup is formed quite free from acidity. Pour this syrup into earthen jars and put in it good, perfectly ripe fruit, gathered in dry weacher. Cover the jars tight and put them in a dry place. The contents will keep for six or eight months and the flavor of the fruit will be excellent. In the State Prison the boy contracted a cold which developed into consumption. When his mother died the prison physi- cian thought his condition too critical to apprise him of his mother's demise, and he lived on in ignorance of it. He was not told of his father’s death and lived on in hope of regaining his liberty. His little sister was left alone in the world, but she struggled bravely on, fighting poverty and seeking her brother's pardon. She visited prominent oflioials. They all sympathized with her, but could not help her. Finally Assemblyman William E. O'Connor, 0! the Seventh district, of Essex County, inter- ested himself in the case. William P. B. Uriok, the teacher who was assaulted, made a statement that he did not believe that Toomey struck him and the pardon was granted. The ravages of disease were indelibly stamped on the young man’s features. He was met at the Pennsylvania Railroad depot on Saturday by his sister Maggie. The meeting was very afiection- ate, and in his joy the brother did not notice the black clothes of his sister. Full of hope, he chatted as he walked toward the humble home he had not seen for five years. As he walked across the threshold he exclaimed: “ Where is mother ‘I” With a terrible load at her breast his sister summoned up all her resolution, and with swimming eyes she gently said: “ She is dead.” “ And father,” gasped the young man. “ He is dead also." With a cry the young man staggered against the wall and fell. His last words were : “ Oh, my God I This is terrible.” Terrified, his sister ran for a physician. Water brought the young man to conscious- ness, but his eyes glared like those of a wild animal. “ They are not dead I” he cried ; “ ih’a a. lie. Yqupan’b take me bagk imprison.” u The great library of the British Museum originated 130. years ago with the purchase 0!

Soon after the trustees of the collection set apart the first reading-room for the accommodation at such as they chose to admit to the privilege of inspecting their treasures.

Tragic Result of n Judge’s Too Severe Sentence-Jflfleen Years [or n Boy's Follyâ€"Paraloned to Find Father and Molhcr Deadâ€"Seized with Insanity. The Court of Pardons of New Jersey last week granted over one hundred par- dons. Among those released was John Toomey, of Newark, who had served five years of a fifteen years’ sentence for assault and battery. The circumstances of his conviction occasioned great excite- ment in Newark five years ago, and many attempts to have him pardoned were made. He was 16 years old when he attended the Twelfth ward public school. The neigh- borhood is not the most refined in the city, and the boy was thrown in with rough companions. His father was a hard- working laborer, and had saved a little money to buy a home. One of the teachers in the school was very unpopular. He was a German, and had frequent quarrels with the parents of his scholars. One night in a lonely locality of the ward he was waylaid and beaten by three boys. His injuries were not severe, but, as he lost a watch in the affray, he had young Toomey arrested on the charge of highway robbery. The boy acknowledged that he was present when the teacher was beaten, but denied that he took any part in the assault. The boy’s father spent all the money he had saved in his son’s defence, but to no avail. He was convicted in the Court of Common Pleas, and Judge Ludlow McCarter sentenced him to fifteen years at hard labor in the State Prison. The severity of the sentence was a terrible blow to the boy's parents. Many prominent citizens claimed that it was unjust and started a petition for his pardon. Years passed and the boy’s parents almost broke down under their affliction. The father aged fast and the mother was heart-broken. Every ceht they had saved was spent, and their little daughter Maggie, a girl of 15, was obliged to go to work. Slowly Mrs. Toomey declined in health until about a year ago she died.

It is a movement, a sort of swing from side to side, which seems to be quite independent of the body, and to be executed only with the machinery of the dress-skirt, and this is very nearly the case. An incli- nation forward and a slight determination in walking from one side to the other, sets the machinery in motion and produces a funny result, which any one can see who happens to walk behind a fashionably- dreesed girl. If a. girl had to look and act like that she would be a pitiable object, but as itie amatter of choice and dependentupon caprice, which will demand some new form of eelfâ€"immoletion shortly, it makes little difference. But no caricature could do more than justice to the dude and the belle as they appear in the street in this year of gear, 1885.â€"Philadelphia News. “A. B. O. D, and others" is very good. Delicately the individuals are singled out for public thanks. but not named. " A" is the captain; " B," “ C." and “ D,” are the three next in prominence. “ The others" are the rank and file of able assistants. “ Bravely, and at their own peril” is also rather a superior form of statement. What peril was encountered is left to the imagin- ation. The negro might have fallen on one of them, or if one in his haste had stumbled over the jail-door sill he might have sprained an ankle. Such terrible dangers did our Kansas neighbors encounter. But the second resolution is simply delicious. The citizens of. Girard are requested to present their claims for direct or inciden- tal damage suffered to the citizens of Bax- ter Springs for adjustment. Undoubtedly no more thoughtful politeness has ever been recorded. The citizens who so skiliully and thoroughly performed the late act of justice are, like the exponents of mediseval chivalry, both brave and courteous. A lynching in broad daylight is a feat of Kan- sas enterprise. Missouri in her palmy old days never undertook a matinee perform- ance of the lynching act. Nor has Missouri or any other State ever turned out so sweet-mannered a company of execution- ers. The New England blood which flows in Kansas asserts its innate culture. Before these resolutions the lynching was cheerfully thought to have been done in style, but the Baxter Springs citizens in meeting assembled have added a finish which may be called epoch-making.â€"â€" Kansas City Times. Over 50,000 pairs of shoes were sent out by the English Government to the 8.000 or 10,000 men who took part in the Nile expedition.and yet the ofiicers are still making eompleinta that the army were shoelees. The euppllee were sent out in large bags, and it is thought that the natives out them open and took the shoes for themselves. Resolved further, That we hereby extend to the good people of our neighboring town of Girard this expression of regret that time and circumstances brought the ter- mination of a detestible oriminal’s life within the limits of their town, that we hope their community may never be agitated and outraged by the commission of any similar or other crime, and that for any damage or damages done to property in said town of Girard by the said “ company of men " that claims for the same be reported to the " Oitizens’ Committee ” of Baxter Springs for adjustment. Be it resolved, That we, citizens of Baxber Springs, in meeting assembled, approve of the hanging of Lawrence, and that we heartily and sincerely thank A. B. C. D. and others of said company who so bravely and at their own peril accomplished thy wpich we all desired should be done. The Baxter Springs (Nam) News, after describing the lynching of Lawrence, at Gimrd, publishes a set of resolutions adopted by the citizens of Baxter Springs, which ought to be recorded as an important advance in our history. The facts are reciteq and the resolutions proceed thus: A Daughter oi the Late Chief Justice Wood Asks for a Divorce. The daughter of Edmund Burke Wood, late Chief Justice of the Province of Maui- toba, who died in 1882, is a petitioner for divorce in the Circuit Court from a husband who, it is alleged, imposed upon her shame- fully and contributed nothing to her support. The defendant is James Frederick Doran, the petitioner Mary Augusta Doran. Her bill relates graphically the story of her married life. She married Der-an in Winnipeg March 20th, 1883. He was an employee in a branch of the Bank of Montreal at Winnipeg. She was 17 years of age, inexperienced, as she says, and unaccustomed to deceit or falsehood. Doran won her maiden affections. He had the appearance of a gentleman. He told her that his own father was dead, that his grandfather lived in Montreal, was a man of means and influence, and that he had written the defendant a letter requesting him to marry and come to Montreal to reside, where his grandfather would place him in a lucrative position on a large salary, give him $100 per month additional, and buy and furnish a nice house. Flushed with the bright prospect of a residence at Montreal and the social eclat which an income of a couple of : hundred a month would insure, she wedded ‘ him, and started for Montreal. On the way the groom asked permission to carry his bride’s money. She unsuspectingly handed him over $400, which it afterward turned out he used to pay the expenses of the trip, having left Winnipeg without a dollar of his own. The pleasant anticipations of Mrs. Doran were speedily dashed to the ground when on reaching Montreal there was no grandfather to receive them. Doran carried her to Lachine Rapids, a little vil- lage near Montreal, where she met the alleged well-to-do grandfather, James Doran, who informed her that his esteemed grandson was a vagabond, and gave her the further reassuring information that he was a defaulter to the Bank of Montreal in $1,500; that he had neither money nor ‘ reputation, and could not get a position in Montreal if he paid for it. Mr. Doran, sen, said he had written no letter to his pro- mising kinsman offering him a position, and that making good James Frederick’s defalcaticn had almost broken him. James Doran out of pity kept the wronged woman at his house until May, 1883, but she never saw any of the $400 she had confidingly loaned her helpmeet. With heart bowed down Mrs. Dorsn telegraphed her mother at Winnipeg, who came on and took her back to Manitoba. Doran frankly con- fessed that he could not support her. She could not remain in Winnipeg, and came to Chicago, and asks for a divorce on the ground of non-support.-â€"Chicago Times. Lynchers Formally. Thanked. llow Swell Women “'nlk. THE 0L0, 0L” STORY. “ We have ceased for some time to import graveyard designs from Italy or elsewhere. One reason for this is that all the finest work of Italian sculptors is in marble, and Italian marble will by no means stand the wear and tear of our try- ing climate. In a few yearsits creamy whiteness turns to an ugly grayish mud color, and dark veins appear upon it. Finally it begins to chip and crumble, and becomes an unsightly object. Italian granite will not bear our climate. It has been tried. Not because the granite of Italy is any better than that of New England, for it is really not so good, but because it was supposed by some persons ' that the work they wanted would be done better by Italian than by American artists. Whether it was better or worse mattered little, for very soon the stone began to throw off scales, and the work was destroyed. In all our large graveyards may be seen instances of this. Everywhere we notice worn out statuary and beautiful designs stained and charred and literally peeling away. 0! course statuary is still imported from Italy and placed in sheltered positions, but for open-air service it is a poor substi- tute for New England granite. Italian granite is not much used for artists’ work. even in Italy, although it is sometimes carved into small figures and designs, but very rarely into anything heroic. Our marble is not very durable either, but our granite lasts forever.”â€"New York Sun. Will power, as well as imagination, has much to do with the cures that are effected in some cases. The late Isaac Toucey, who was Secretary of the Navy under President Buchanan, and previously a Senator, was a man of strong will power. Many years ago his horses became fright- ened on Bolton Mountain and ran away. He was thrown out and dragged along the street. Two or three of his ribs were broken and he was bruised all over and injured internally. Surgeons from this city were sent out and found him in a very dan- gerous condition. Apparently his injuries were fatal. But ” No,” he whispered, " I shall recover." He did recover, and his will power carried him through. A physi- cian of this city, not now living, stated to us some years since that he once had a peculiar case. An elderly lady was remarkably nervous. She imagined that her heart, lungs and liver were all disordered. Yet he found them sound. She had no organic disease, except nervousness, and that was enough. “ I can cure you,” said the physician ; “ I understand the case.” He gave her six bread pillsâ€"not a particle of medicine in them. He said : “ Take one to-night, one to-mcrrow night, half of one each night the next two nights. Then split the others in quarters, and take one-fourth of a pill every morning till all are used up vbut do not on any account take any more on any day than I have ordered ; it will be dangerous. But by following my directions precisely you will be entirely well when all the pills are taken." The woman had faith in him, and she got well, as he had pre- dicted. Wasn't this a “ faith cure 7" It certainly was not the dough rolled into pills that had any effect upon the old lady. There can be no doubt that will power and faith or imagination has much to do with one‘s health, or ill-health, if the imagina- tion runs that wayâ€"Hartford (Coma) Times. Clara Morris considers Samuel J. Tilden the belt oonvazaationaliah she ever not. “Square-shaped and round, three-cor- nered and fluted, rough, out, and, on rare occasions, even polished granite or marble pillars are used. The broken column is a very popular design. It is usually about 8 feet high, and round. It is often polished to give greater effect to the rugged, irregu- lar top, where it is supposed to have been broken off. For the most part pillars of all kinds stand upon a square stone pedestal. but at times we are required to erect a slender column straight trom the ground. This has a quaint and rather pleasing efieet. Flat stones are often placed in position over a vault long before the death 0! any member of a family. Pillars are very rarely erected until somebody's remains have been deposited below. A pillar is usually intended to commemorate one per- son. A flat monument may cover a whole family. " The pillar or obelisk style of monument ranges usually from fifteen to twenty feet in height. A very tall one would be thirty feet high. They are generally of out, but not polished, granite, the only part polished being the space where the name or inscrip- tion is carved. The old style of a heavy, broad pillar with an obelisk top still pre- vails, but taller, more slender, and more artistic columns are finding favor. They are embellished with all sorts of designs, and the art of the sculptor, as well as his patience, is often taxed to the utmost to produce a statue mat has no meaning, and should have no existence, except in the brain of the wealthy owner of the menu- ment. A small figure on the top, so high up that its features can hardly be dis- tinguished, but which are supposed to bear some resemblance to those of the person whose remains are en- tombed below, is common weakness. A figure of life, or even heroic size, how- ever, is oiten placed upon the summit of the pillar, and this, it well executed and in harmony with the structure it stands upon, has a fine effect, although it gives the column, perhaps, too much the appearance of a public monument. But fine statuary is usually placed nearer to the ground, and very quaint devices find expression in it. Greenwood and Woodlawn cemeteries, especially the former, are rich in curious, eccentric and beautiful designs-tor we cannot dictate. All we can do is to follow the instructions given us, and it we are required to put upon the pillar a lamb, a giant, a dwarf, or a lady in voluminous skirts, our business is to do it in the best style we can. More Artistic Work, but Few Charlch In Designsâ€"Our Granite the Most Last- log. “ There is very rarely any material change in what may be called the ‘ fashion' of tombstones and monuments,” a monu- ment cutter said. “ The work becomes more artistic, but does not materially alter in design. We have still the low, broad. flat stone, lending an idea of strength and solidity rather than beauty. although many of the stones are very handsome. They are, perhaps, even more popular than the tall pillars, but that may be due to the fact that they are less expensive. Still, some of the richest men in the country have placed them over their family grave plots. Jay Gould among others. although his is unusu- ally graceful tor a heavy’ stone. Some are simply large blocks of granite, or it may be, marble, without any- thing in the shape of carving to relieve their sombre appearance except the smooth space where the name is out, or, more ordinarily, placed in raised letters. This is the old style, and still holds its own. But another kind of flat stone is becoming popular. The ponderous appearance is lessened by having the upper part sup- ported by granite pillars instead of the cus- tomary blocks of stone, and various devices in carving tend to lend grace and beauty to the monument. The flat stone is not usually of polished granite. In the very nature 0! the monument something rugged is supposed, and it the stone were highly polished (and granite takes a far higher polish than marble), the effect would be marred and the design inconsistent. Figures of life are very seldom carved in flat stones, as they would have to be either very short or placed in a horizontal posi- tion. The flat stones are generally over vaults, but not uncommonly we are ordered to place one of them over a _single grave. flloNlJMEN'l‘S AND TDMBDTONES \Vfll Power Cures.
