lavish expenditure in these times than
they have been at any time during the
last seven years. The expenses at the
watering.place hotels are enormously
heavy, and not half OF the people who
would tolerate them last year are able
to do SO this. The nominal price OF
board at the hotels is "a, 90 per day, and,
taking this as the flrst point in the sea-
sons's expenditure, ii will be able for
those who have been there before to
form an approximate estimate of the
cost of a brief Summer visit.
The English Admiralty have Just is

While the Prince of Wales was in
Paris he called upon his old French in-
structor, NJ. Brasseur, who told him
that his great ambition was to possess
the ribbon of The Legion d'Honneur,
but that he had not sufficient interest
TO make his claims known to those in
power. The Prince laid his case at once
before the Emperor, and before night
the teacher was q Chevalier.

Mrs. Swisshelm has taken the field
against Grant. She shows that his mil.
itary policy was pitifully contemplate,
and that all his campaigns, from first to
last, in the West and in the East, were
so badly conducted that, taken as a
whole. they ought TO consign him to
everlasting infamy. "He never made
brilliant movement, or once out-ma-
nouvered an enemy" His politics too,
are, or were, OF the most detestable
character; and, take him all in all, he
should be put anywhere rather than in
the Presidential chair. 1t will be re.
membered that it was Mrs. Swisshelm
who captured ViCksbHrg with her
rhetorical batteries, and that Lee sur
rendered before her liugual musketry
at Appomattox Courthouse.
Professor Doremus, OF New York, re-
Gently delivered a lecture, in which, as
we learn from the Druggists Circular,
he introduced several illustrations OF
the constitution OF gun cotton. The
lecturer once placed a linen hand
kerchief in an explosive condition, and
then had it thrown into the wash. His
servant girl washed, dried and sprink-
led it ready for ironing, without her
being aware of its character. The mo-
ment she placed the hot iron on the
handkerchief, it vanished into thin air,
much, of course, to the astOnishment of
Bridget. Had such a thing occurred
before the principles of science were so
generally understood as they now are,
it would have been attributed to super
natural agency.
On the 18th OF May, Albert and AL
fred, the two Princes of England, being
in Paris, and desiring to go to the
ChantIlly races on Sunday, the 10Th,
telegraphed to their mother, asking her
permission, and inquiring whether it
would be against the rule and preee-
dent in the case OF good young priuces
of filial autecedents. The Queen made
no reply, and the young men, paying
heed to the old proverb, regarded si-
lence as giving assent. So they went
to the races, bet their money on the
''bob tail horse" and had good time
generally. The fact of their presence at
Chantilly was telegraphed to London
and published in the papers of Mon
day, the Goth. On that day the Princes
returned to London, and were present
at the Inauguration ceremonies OF the
"Royal Albert Hall of Arts and
Sciences"
The editor of the Tidioute (Pa.) Jour
nal comes down on giggling woman
of that locality in the following racy
manner:
FAIR-TEe lady ~ who yesterday

The enforcement of the rigorous laws
to prevent an outbreak in Ireland is
said to cause great trouble to travellers.
Three weeks ago the steamer Scotia
landed an unusually large number OF
American visitors at Queenstown, in
ireland, and sthey were subjected to
no small amount of annoyance, in con-
sequence of the rigoraus searches tho
authorities still persevere in having
made on persons arriving from Ameri.

duction and correspondence of the most
harmless kind did not escape the atten.

lanthropic millionaire, Mr.. George
Peabody, who, although he had beer

The Richmond Wing continues tc
battle manfully against that false sense
of honor which impels many Virgin,
ians TO stand aloof from the work o
reconstruction on the plea that they
cannot participate In It without com
promising their dignity and self-re
spect. The Wing says:
If submission to an irresistible au
thority be to eat dirt, our own opinion
is that it is the part of wisdom to eat thu
whole peck at once and be edone with it
1t would be a tedious job to take it II
dribbles and have it all the time hang
