in 1924. BY the death of his mother, her vast es-
tates situated in Sutherlandshire, Caithnessshire
and lnverness-shire, and containing upwards of
three millions of acres descended to him, and the
revenue which he derived from these and the Eng
lish estates in Staffordshre, Shropshire and York
shire, is said to have exceeded G300 900 a year,
The Duke of Sutherland for more than twenty
years had been in very delicate health, and
lived in retirement. He was a liberal patron of
the fine arts, liberal and enlightened landlord,
and steady supporter of every Wing minis
try. lie married, in 1928, Lady Harriet Howard,
the beautiful sister of the present Earl of Carlisle,
and the confidential friend of the Queen, who was
born in 1907. The position of the Duchess in Lon
don society is too well known to need more than
passing reference. Stafford House has long been
the most distinguished mansion in London, and the
sanctum sanctorum of London society. By the aid
OF bevy of beautiful daughters, who married
many OF the most powerful members of the aristoc
racy, the Duchess placed herself at the head of
family party which have exerted no small influence
in the political world. Her Grace is said to have
been chiefly instrumental in bringing about re-
Cancellation among the different members of the
Liberal party, which resulted in the overthrow Of
Lord Derby's ministry and the restoration of Lord
PalmerstOn to power
The late Duke of Sutherland was Knight of the
Garter, d. G. L., and fellow of the principal
learned socites all Of which have been objects of
his princely munificence. The late Earl of Files
mere was his younger brother. His Grace is sue
ceeded by his eldest son, George Granville, Mar
quis of Stafford, now third Duke of Sutherland,
born in 1924, and NJ. p for Sutherland since 1852.
4 New STYLE OF SENSATION PREACHER.-Quite an
incident occurred at Baptist church in Broome
street evening last week. 1t seems that an In
dian, known by the poetic name of White Cloud,
having taken it into his head to turn preacher,
obtained the use of the above named edifce in
which to make his first experiment upon the sons
and daughters of New York. The novelty of the
announcement created quite stir in the neighbor-
hood, and the evening found the church pretty well
filed with mixed congregation of saints and sim
ners OF all classes and sexes, who previous to the
coming of White Cloud chatted and speculated
vigorously as to what they might expect-whether
the discourse was to be in the native Wah-rewak-
a-mow jargon, or in pure English. AS the moment
approached for the appearance of the red expound-
er OF the faith, with the Saxon cognomen, the
audience settled down into that anxious stiffness
which usually precedes some important and inter
esting event. That event came, for suddenly White
Cloud made his appearance at a side door, not in
the peaceful and sober robes of the pious divine but
decked out in the savage inery of an ancient Wam-
panoag o. modern Arrapahoe. Flourishing his
tomahawk in the air, and INDUCING in series of
warwhoops that nearly split the ears Of the horri-
fed spectators he passed up and down the aises of
the church and finally brought up in the lecture
room, where he continued to regale the of the
audience with his terrific yells, some of whom,
after recovering from the first effects of this new
method for producing sensation, began to look
about for the most ready means of escape. The
ladies, particularly, screamed with fright and one
is said to have tainted White Cloud passed near
her, brandishing his tomahawk, and throwing
himself into the demoniac attitudes of the war
dance. The chief subsidized, however, after time,
ancying, probably, that his introduction had been
favorably accomplished; quiet restored, and
White Cloud proceeded with his sermon,-rather
interesting, by the way,-which he was about pro-
ceeding to enhance by some love stories among the
red beauties of his tribe, when the deacons of the
church present very unfeeingly brought him up
all standing, doubtless under the impression that
the congregation were already sufficiently instruct
ed in matters of that unorthodox nature-Ne,o

ADVICE TO LETTER w RIrERS.-We think it advisa-
BILE to make suggestions to etter-writers which if
complied with, will the post office EMPLOYEES
much time and trouble, and at the same time will
tend to insure the more speedy and safe transmits
sion of letters.
Never seal your letter until you are sure that the
contents thereof are all right; as instances have
often come under our observation, where the wri-
tiers, through carelessness, have omitted to make
certain enclosures which it their intention to
have done. Place the stamp on the upper right
hand corner of the letter. Write on the address
simply the name, post office, county and State
The names of country-seats, as Crosse Hill, ""Forest
Lawn" etc., should be avoided in the address, as
tn ere are sometimes post offices of the same name
and the letters are liable to be missent.
In depositing your letters in the "drop" at the
postofiice, be careful you do not empty the entire
contents of your pockets in the same repository,
anu mus lnu yourseH minus certain miscellaneous
articles, the sudden disappearance of which you
are at a loss to account for. From the miscellane-
Gus character ofthe contents ofthe "drop baskets"
1t would seem that some people consider the post
office a sort Of savings institution; bank bills
checks, drafts ETC., being often found here with
out the slightest eyidence-at least as far as the
bank notes are c0ncerned-as to who are the proper
owners. Pocket-books, pen-knifes, night-keys,
ierry-tlckets, pea nuts, and in fact merchandise
in small way-of almost every description finds
thrOuOb he ha off fDn
one in particular, and everybody in general
While on this subject we would say that postage
stamps are frequently found loose in the baskets
while many letters are discovered with nothing to
show that they have ever been properly paid-we
would inform parties interested, that this manner
of procedure is not very strong guarantee of the
speedy transmission of their letters as all such are
held for postage.-HolbrooI's p. O. Gazette.
The CONDITION OF GAErA.-The Genoa Gazette
publishes letter from Gaeta containing the fol-
lowing details respecting the state of the town
when the PiedmOntese troops took possession of it:
~ have just entered Gaeta, and it is impossible to
Imagine its miserable condition. In the square one
absolutely walks on iron. 1t is difficult to get
along to the streets, so obstructed are they with
ruins of houses knocked down by shot and Shells
Here and there | saw men wheeling barrows con-
tanning the mangled remains of bodies extricated
from the ruins. One poor woman was got out still
living from under the fallen walls of a house where
she had laid for several days with a broken leg
wounded soldier was also found dying in the
street. where ne naQ no DOUBT been abandoned in
the midst OF the confusion caused by the last bonn
bardment. Bat the worst scene of all is the Tran
sylvania battery, which was blown up by the DOW
der magazines. The walls thrown down, the very
rocks riven, and the ground strewn with shells and
grenades, present sight which really makes one
shudder. The fine Gothic church is ruined inter-
nally, its outer walls alone remaining Many other
edifices are extensively injured, and it is evident
that, if the siege had lasted another month, Gaea
would have been utterly destroyed The number

THE History OF GEORGE III.-Poiticians. both in
England and America. will be interested by Thomas
Erskne Mays Constitutional History of England
since the Accession of George III. MIR. Mays view
of George III. is that he was a man of determined
will, not devoid of faculty; and that the great OBJ
ect OF his life and reign was to crush the power of
the whig aristocracy, who had been dominant since
the revolution of 1858, and to bring back to the
Crown the same degree of power that had belonged
to it in the days of Charles |. To effect this object
George Ill. filled the House of Commons with his
creatures-bribed them in the most unsparing
manner; created peerages to the number of three
hundred and thirty eight (there were but one hun
dred and seyenty-eight beore secured the subser-
viency of the House of Lords in this ways showered
offices on borough-hoders, and contrived by a GER
tain trick of manner and assumption-of extremely
English feeling-to captivate the popular heart
Yet he was frequently defeated in his attempts and
in fact entirely succeeded. He squandered the
treasure of the country in corrupting the countrys
guardians; but he obliged, over and over
again. to submit to the popular wil-notably in the
case of Wilkes and general warrants. The story is
a very edifying one.
How THE FRENCH DETECTIVES TRACK A CRIMINAL
Nothing exceeds the ingenuity of the French police
detective when in pursuit of criminal Science
as well as cunning is efficiently brought to bear in
his investigation, as proof of which the following
may be adduced: The footprint left the soil by the
fugitive from Justice is worthy of preservation, and
great is necessary in the process for obtaining
accurate cast of it. The detective goes to work
in the following WISE A gridron of several inches
elevation is placed over the footprint and covered
with sheet of copper. Ignited Goals are then
added, which heats the copper by conduction
and the soil by radiation. Spermacet, reduced
into an impalpable powder by means of solution
in hot alcohol, being thrown into a large quantity
of cold water, is sprinkled over the heated foot
print 1t melts on contact, and the sprinking is
until the necessary thickness for COM
plete cast is reached. After cooling, the east is
carefully dug out. The size of the shoe its pecu-
liarites and imperfectons, thus accurately OBJ
tanned for comparison, when opportunity shall
offer.
