The hahlIucS of one of our favored hotels
were very much amused the other day. A
fresh married couple arrived from the country.
The lady was young. plump, pretty, and al
though =" rs pure as snow and Chaste as ice"
seems to have conveyed the idea to certain
parties in the house that she was one of those
=" who seems not of the earth but yet are on IT,"
The husband was an honest. ingenious chap
and tcartulIy ,crdant in the ways OF the world
ms will be seen. The pair bad been at the
house some twcuty-tour hours when the bride
groom walked mp to the clerk. and remarked,
" That's my wife that stops IN the room with
me"
Yes, suppose So" was the blank reply of
the clerk.
We'll, | thought I'd mention it." continued
Mr. Ncrdant, $50 You wouldn't think il strange
III me compIaining-l never like to find fault,
You know,-but we're kinder bothered, and
don't hardly know what to do We've only
been here since yesterday. and my wife has
been invited 10 90 to ride three times, and to
the minstrcl's show likewise, and just now a
sleck-lookng chap knocked at the door and
wanted to know if she was alone, and another
actually inquired if that countryman She had
on the string was gone" I've no doubt these
young men mean we'll enough" continued he,
g but they are too doeoned polite for me!
Though | s'pose it's city fashions
The poor fellow was assured that the we'll
young men should not annoy him any
further with their politeness, and he retired,
apparently well gratifed.

OBITUARY.
Henry Augustus Wise.


Private intelligence from Europe reports the
death of this wel-knOwn naval officer and
author, at Naples, on the LIST inst. Captain
Wise was in the iftieth year of his age, having
been born In Brooklyn on the 18th of May, 1919.
On the 9Th of February, 1884, he entered the
naval service as a midshipnlan, serving on The
sloops Erie and Cyane, on the coast of Florida,
during the Seminole war. On the 10th of July,
1886, he received his warrant as passed mid
shipman, and in October, 1886, was promoted
to the rank of master. As such the deceased
served in the Pacific during the war with
Mexico. During February of iS47 he was pro-
NOTED to the rank of lieutenant, and from 1869
to 1855 was flag lieutenant OF the Mediterranean
squadron. On the return home of the Japanese
ambassadors, Lieutenant Wise accompanied
them on board the frigate Niagara. Ia 1862 he
was appointed commander in the navy, and
assigned to duty Assistant Chief OF the Ord
nance Bureau Mt Washington. This position he
held during the Rebellion with creditand success.
In December, 1866, he was commissioned a captain,
and last year he was granted leave OF absence,
with permission to visit Enrope. For Tong

England Prepares to Render Satisfaction
Rumored CoaIiti0S of England, France and
Spain. 49,
vOuches for the following z7@
Official information received from London
confirms my despatch Of two days ago to the
effect that Secretary Fish had demanded of
England an explanation regarding the seizure
and condemnation OF the brig Mary Powell
There is no doubt whatever OF the fact that
such q demand hos been placed before the Eng
lish Premier; but at the same time 1t should be
stated that no fears are entertained in
official circles here that any new
cause of trouble between the Govern
ments will arise theretrom. II Is understood
here that the English Government agrees with
our own in regarding the conduct of the Span
iards in this matter as completely indefensible
and further, that il has already requested an eX-
planation of the whole proceeding. In Vindica-
lion of its own honor and dignity, should Spain
refuse to furnish an explanation TO England,
there is reason 10 believe that the latter will
firmly insist upon the surrender OF the brig Mary
Powell. Whatever may be the sympathy of
England for the Spaniards in their struggle to
preserve Cuba in their possession, she will not
suffer fragrant violation of international law TO
pass unexplained and unsatisfed. II Is said Mr..
Fish has assurances from Minister Johnson that
steps have already been taken by England look
ing to the surrender of the brig in question. On.
the other hand 1t, is stated on good authority
that this point being settled England will do all
in her power without openly declaring herself
on the side of Spain, to aid the latter country in
Keeping the rebellious Cubans in subjection. 1t
is even asserted that secret understanding
has already been entered into on the
part of England and France TO send
a powerful feet to the West Indies to
assist in preventing supplies from reaching the
Cubans, and thus enabling Spain to starvc out
her rebenious subjects. The two statements seem
hardly reconcilabie but give them as theyreach
me, without vouching for their truthfulness. If
England really has any such dangerous de,
signs, il is not easy to explain why she should
express herself so ready TO pick quarrel with
Spain about the Mary Lowell affair. Certainly
Brother Jonathan will be quite as likely to
fight about English and French interference
with Cuba as about the seizure of a little
little brig in English waters. Further, If
Spain had assurance of English and French
support, she would hardly yield so promptly TO
the late demands of Secretary Fish. Some of
the diplomatic folks here declare that notwith-

By Atlantic Cable.
LONDON, April 23.-The London Post Of to-day
"A conservative Whig organ-has an elaborate
editorial article on the Cuban question, in which
it mentions that it is asserted that President
Grant has longing eye upon Cuba and would
not be unwilling to distract the attention of the
people of the United States from watching the
course of internal affairs by war with some
foreign power. A conflict with Spain
cannot leave any doubt respecting the
Issue, unless England and France should inter-
fere. blow dealt at Cuba would be tanta-
mount to a blow dealt towards the whole of the
West Indies and the acquisition of Cuba might
be followed by that of Jamaica and Martinique.
The same paper quotes the recent acquisitions of
territory by the United States a proof that it
wants to acquire by piecemeal all the possessions
held by European powers in that latitude, and
would naturally commence with Cuba, bccauseit
belongs to the weakest OF the powers having
settlements in the West Indies. France and
England will doubtless determine whether these
designs against Cuba will be tolerated, or aid
Spain in retaining her colony.
The French press has agitated the question
much in the same tenor, and special meetings of
the French Cabinet were held on Tuesday and
Wednesday, which resulted in - special envoy
being sent last night to London with dispatches
referring TO the present complication of events.

SpeetGl Despatch to The Erentd9 Telegraph.
New YORK, April 23.-There was considerable
excitement this morning in the vicinity OF the
Olympic Theatre, on Broadway, caused by FIRE
suddenly breaking out amongst the scenery. At
one time it was thought the building could not
be saved, but the flames were finally extin-
guished without very serious damage, and q few
hundred dollars will probably cover the total
loss. 1t is not probable the theatre will neces-
5arily be even closed, even for this evening. The
cause ofsthe fire is not yet known.
