The estates extend t<R93,000 acres, and the annual rental is something over £170,- 000. Much of the land in and about Eastbourne was the property of the duke, and, like that in the vicinity of Barrow-in-Furness, has increased enor­ mously in value of late years. The duke possessed no fewer thaw seven seats, the cost of keeping np which alone must have been consider­ able. The duke had the patronage of over forty church livings, the annual total value of which exceeds |J0f000 per annum. The founder of the house was William Cavendish, commonly supposed (accord- ing to Mr. Evans' "Old Nobility") to he identical with that Cavendish who wrote the "Life of Wolsey," and who has been immortalized by Shakespeare. The fifth «luke was the husband of the duchess whose portrait was painted by Gainsbor­ ough, asd about nhosi there io a story similar to that of one of the duchesses of Gordon of her kissing tradesmen to ob­ tain votes. It was the sixth duke who formed the famous gardens at Chats- worth. The family motto, "Safe by being cautious," applies, most people will think, very fitly to the new duke.-- Pall Mall Gazette. Along the Skirmish Line. Qen. Schofield has accepted an invita­ tion to attend the New Hampshire sol­ diers' reunion at the Weirs this summer, and Gen. Sickles is also expected to be present. Virginians celebrated Memorial Day by unveiling a statute to the memory of the late General A. P. Hill, of Confederate fame, at Richmond. General Grant's tomb, at Riverside Park-on the-Hudson, was buried under floral offerings Memorial Day, many of which came from across the sea. Gen. N. P. Banks gives a good deal of attention to gardening in his old age. Visitors to Waltham a few days ago saw him in working clothes, busily planting potatoes. i . A 110,000 monument to be erected in San Francisco, Cal., in honor of Col. E. D. Baker, who fell in the battle of Ball's Bluff. Ex-Senator Ingalls, of Kansas, was the orator at Jefferson City, Mo. fle advo­ cated a general service pension for all veterans. There are already about eight hundred Southern war claims in the hands of Con­ gressmen from that section. They will be pushed as feelers, but should the South get .full control there would soon be as many thousand. P. G. T. Beauregard is the only surviv­ ing full general of the Confederate army, but there are upwards of 130 surviving Brigadier-Generals, and as for Colonels, the Southern woods are full of them. The were 1,701,069 soldiers living on July 1,1865, according to report made by the commissioner of pensions, after a careful examination of the subject, and the number living at the present time is about 1,200,000. An interesting war relic possessed by a resident of Muncie, Ind., is the flag that was wrapped about the body of Gen. Lyon, the first Northern general to lose his life in the late war. The flag was car­ ried by the Second Kansas Reginent. The Richmond (Va.) Times, referring to "the enormous amount required for pensions,', kindly says: "Relief cannot be expected until both branches of Con­ gress and the President are in Democrat­ ic hands." Just read that between the lines and you have the Democratic decla­ ration of policy toward Union soldiers. Thirty years have passed and gone, Of those who took a manly part then, but few still live to talk over the trials, hardships and comradeships of the days that tried the souls of all true patriots. It is a sad thing to think how few of our comrades are living to-day. The larger part have gone to join the silent major­ ity on the other shore, many of their graves dots the hillsides of the valleys of the Southland. They gave their lives to maintain the integrity of the govern­ ment. Let us cherish their memories and recall their valient deeds on many a bloody battlefield.--Seatiael. 0 Work sf the Fission OSes.

His eyesight left him Monday without warning and without any painful confinement. He had begun his usual work on a canal boat on the Raritan canal, from New Brunswick. He had walked a step or twoon the boat, singing merrily to himself, when sud­ denly everything grew black. He could not see objects half a foot distant. His vision had completely failed him. Groping about the deck he tried to communicate his affliction to the other deck hands. When his true condition was discovered he was tenderly taken care of, and when the canal boat reached this city he was conveyed to his home in Kensington, and there attended 1 >. Still he grew no better. It was then de­ cided that the best place for him was a hospital. His nephew accompanied him to the Philadelphia hospital. On arriving there he was examined and placed in the nervous ward, where he is resting quiet­ ly, with his vision only slightly im­ proved.--Philadelphia Record. How • Hatband Should Be Bcgulai, At a recent meeting of Soroaia, at which the subject of "Husbands" was discussed, Mrs. Herrick attributed th» failure of marital happiness to girls be* tag taught to expect too much happi­ ness from marriage, and that love is its only essential by romances, poetry, songs and tradition. But, wlolb not bulituing love, she claimed that respect based upon superior qualities; esteem for thoaa attributes that would make the wif 9 da* • sire the husband as a friend if she couM not have him for a husband; common sense, which teaches her that a faultj WOtnaTl need not A-rrw-t a nerrffvt band, and great patience--"that paasiott of noble souls"--are quite as essential elements in the domestic bliss. She cautioned the wife against holding up her soul to her husband always with a thora in it. Men cannot understand intangible griefs and unrest. She also said that one of the first lessons a wills has to learn is that her husband has a Ai^uv bv inn vnli iuvuf iuuau»jrf ouu iiuai| while she can inspire him to greater achievement in a work for which he has a bias, she cannot, as she may fondly dream, mold his character, and she wouldn't respect him if she could. Girls should be taught that marriags is not the gateway of heaven, and that even at this Eden the angel stands with the flaming sword to turn back souls that eeek an earthly paradise. Women should know their lovers so well that marriage can bring no great disappointments. Marriage is not a match made in heaven, but an earthly union founded on mutual respect, over which the love that made the bond possible sheds a tender influ­ ence.--New York Sun. ;! Marriage Under Dlfficultlee. A. M. Phillips and Millie Barns, of Coleridge, Neb., had to visit three states before they were married. The couple first went to Hartington to be united, but the bride was too young to meet the requirements of the Ne­ braska law. On Sunday they started for Yankton, being assured that they could meet with no obstacles. Arrived at the Missouri river they found the bridge had been washed out only an hour before. It was night before they finally found a boatman to take them to the South Dakota bank, where they found themselves two miles above the town in a willow thicket. Late at night they reached town and were obliged to wait till morning before calling on a justice of the peace. On Monday they learned to their disgust that the laws of South Dakota, although more liberal than those of Nebraska, did not sanction the marriage of one so young as the would be bride. They were told to go to Iowa, which they did, and there met with better success.*- Cor. Minneapolis Tribune. Two Scared Indiana. Two Indians from the La Pointe reser­ vation arrived in Bayfield a few days ago paralysed with fear. They told a wonderful story of adventure. They had started on a hunt on Madeline island and intended to visit some friends. They camped on a spot about four miles from the village. At midnight the Indians were aroused by a fearful struggle. Be­ fore them were two men and a woman battling, the contestants being covered with blood. The Indians say the forms disappeared afterward, but the sounds i$tnd groans were kept up all night. People in that vicinity claim there has been a terrible murder committed on the island some time in the past, and that the "ghosts" of the parties were seen by the Indiana. --Milwaukee Wisconsin. Kxporting Live Geeee from Russia. Live geese are exported from Russia to Germany and Austria in very large numbers. An export house of Warsaw intends building special cars for the transportation of geese directly to their places of destination, if the railroad managers will grant them permission to run the cars. The ministry on roads of intercommunication was notified of the proposal of that firm, and its favorable decision is expected- The cars are to be constructed with appliances to change from the broad gauge of the Russian lines to the narrow gauge of the German lines without loss of time.--St. Peters­ burg Letter. Will Be Visited by the Qneea. Costebelle, the charming suburb ' of Hyeres, at which it is announced that the queen will spend the month of March, is delightfully situated on the southern slopes of the lovely Costebelle hills, and is promptly identified by Amer- cans as "the nearest thing in Europe to a south California ranch"--though the busy little neighboring town, with its orchestra and casino, somewhat upsets the delusion.--London Letter. In a photograph of th« heavens now In course of preparation at the Paris ob- tarvatory, it is calculated that 60.000,000 stars will be represented. In the nebul® of the Lyre, M. Bailland took a photo­ graph 4 by 5^ inches which reveals 4,800 stars to the naked eye! The Florida orange has so far sup­ planted those from the Mediterranean that they will be shipped directly from Florida to Europe. In the Liverpool market they bring nearly double ^ Mi. An Incident of Travel. Not long ago, when one of the great through western trains left New York city, a man and a woman, aged about eighty, got on the cars. They were ao* companied by a younger man, who ap­ peared to be their son, who got their tickets to some place in Nebraska, put them on the cars and left them. Shortly after passing Poughkeepsie the old lady was taken ilL This drew around them sympathizers, and upon inquiry it waa found that they had but a very indefi- nate idea of the journey before them, and that they had only a dollar and soma cents in money between them. The passengers raised a collection * which furnished them with a berth in one of the sleeping cars to Chicago and Seven dollars in money. It was evident from their actions that neither of thetm had ever seen a drawing room or sleep* ing car before, and the luxury and com­ fort was something entirely outside of their experience. They went on, the . picture of content, and it is to be hoped reached their destination in safety.-* Poughkeepsie Eagle. :"™fj A Wonderful Dakota Wal|»' . . - The reports from the artesian #e& at Huron, N. D., show that it is the most wonderful well known to exist The water spouts up to a distance , of about 100 feet, and the amount that flows from the well is tremendous, being estimated at from 8,000 to 10,000 gallons a minute. Even at the lowest figures enough water is ejected to furnish every man, woman and child in the state of North Dakota with at least four gallons of water every four hours. As to the pressure, that has not yet been fully ascertained, but from testa already made it is known to be consider­ ably more than 200 pounds to the square inch. With a fair test it is likely to reach 228 pounds. The pressure haa steadily increased in the last three days, and may exceed the above Rochester Post-Express. The Shot Shedding The back frame of the big United States defense ram is now in place at the Bath Iron works and shows the skeleton of the great hulk in all its oddity.
