A Boon to the Dying.

A correspondent of the st. Louis Repabi
car, says: Overlooking the valley of Mexico
there is a beautiful town called San Angel.
Its location is elevated, the climate is that
of perpetual spring, the atmosphere pure
and balmy, the scenery beautiful as in the
gardens of the Peril. No lOvelier spot was
ever gazed upon by mortals. The ancient
inhabitants of the valley appreciated its
beauties and delighted in its climate.
Hither they were accustomed to resort long
before COrteZ looked down upon the city of
the Aztecs. Recently this place has become
a famous place of resort for cOnsumptive
patients. Some astonishing results have
followed residence here, by patients
stricken by the destroyer of life, tuberculs
last stages OF the disease was sent hlther by
his physician. He expected no favorable
results, but thought to crafty the wishes of
his patient he would send HIM there to die.
The patient went. The sulphurous water, the
pure air, and the pleasant climate had won
derful effect. The patient began to improve,
slowly at first, but more rapidly as his resi-
dence was prolonged. In a few months he
could not only walk without fatigue, but
could run and leap like young man. In
five months he left San Angel in robust
health, and now physicians unite in writing
San Angel as their prescription for con-
sumptives. Hundred of persons who have
gone out, declining from the ravages of the
fatal disease, have returned in short time
cared of their ills. Sunny rooms are the
thing. The temperature of San Angel never
exceeds seventy degrees and rarely des-
cends below sixty. A great many sick
people now go to this favorite place. San
Angel is beautiful village, and first rate
Accommodations may be secured at reason
able rates. In years to come many invalid
Americans will resort to this place, where
they can have the advantage of climate
with all the comfort to be had in populous
city. whose inhabitants are noted for hos
pitaiity and refinement"

WHY. In She Ugly 2

Among the papers recorded at the re gis-
ter's Office in New York last Tuesday, was q
settlement made by Leonard w. jerome
and wife in view of the contemplated mar
rage Of their daughter with Lord Randolph
Henry spencer Churchill, son of the English
Marquis Of Blandford. Under this marriage
settlement, Thomas N. Foote, of this place,
and George Charles Spencer Churchill,
Marquis OF Blandford, are constituted trus-
tees 70 receive and pay over an annuity of
$40, 900 in gold, and it is stiuulated that in
case Lady Churchill Miss Jeromej should
die before her husband, leaving no issue of
hers surviving, that &l25, OOC in gold, shall
thereafter be p4id to Lord Churchill. and
further provision is made for the payment
of 3250. 900 in gold to their heirs, should both

Throux bout many of the episodes connected
with this matter, the negotiations were
really in Mr. Morsn's hands; in all he took
. leading part, if not as negotiator, at least
as the trusted advisor of his government.
A large share of the success which happily
attended these delicate TRANSACTIONS may,
without doubt, be ascribed to Mr.: Moran,
whose tact, unfailing courtesy, and thorough
knowledge of the English people and the
court to which he was accredited: carried
him safely over complications that were
otherwise sufficiently embarrassing. II is
gratifying to find that these good qualities,
accompanying an entire devotion to the
interests of his native country, are amply
recognized at Washington; and the upper
most feeling among Englishmen will be the
hope that his successor will follow the same
course and attain the reward Of like sub
stantial and well merited popularity"

The English Press ON MIR. benjamin.
Moran.

"One item of American news transmitted
yesterday from Washington" says the Lon
don Telegraph of the twenty-tifth ultimo, sis
of q kind to excite special interest in Eng
land. 1t is to the effect that Mr.. BENJAMIN
Moran. the secretary of the United States
legation in London, has been appointed
third assistant secretary of State and that
the appointment, has been confirmed by the
Senate. OF all Americans who have resided
in London during the last ten eventtul
years, it would be difficult to name one
whose advancement will be more heartily
welcomed. or whose loss to English
society will at the same time be more
generally regretted. Mr.. Moran has Oc
cupied an official position here which
under any circumstances would have been
important, but in his case has been especial
~ so, from the fact Of the prolonged vacan-
cies in the post of ambassador. Since the
retirement of Mr.. Adams three ministers
have represented the great republic in this
country; yet, short as is the period en-
braced in these changes, the intervals be-
tween Mr.. Adams and Mr.. Reverdy John
SON, between the latter and Mr.. Motley,
and then between the eminent historian and
General Schenck. have been considerable,
and during all those intervals Mr.. Moran
eminent here. How admirably, and vet
unob trusively, he performed his duties, the
chiefs of our Foreign Office, past and
present, will bear hearty witness; and this
merit is all the moro conspicuous because
the diplomatic controversies wore of . very
grave character No incident In the dispute :
arising from the right of search, which led
M to the war of 1912 between England
and the United States, had moro serious
sle m ents of trouble than the involved trans
sc.ion now. happily, known only il hia
tVric 81 sense as the Alabama dimculty.

An important case has been in argument
at Newark, Ohio, lately, before Judge
Woods, of the United States Circuit Court
The case is between the Pensacola Telegraph
Company, Florida corporation, and the
Western Union Telegraph Company. on a
motion for an injunction on the part of the
plaintiff, and was heard here at Judge
Woods summer residence by consent. The
Western Union Telegraph Company having
begun the section of a line from Pensacola
junction, in Alabama, to Pensacola, the
plaintiff sought an induction to restrain the
erection of the line on the ground that the
Legislature OF Florida, in 1866, granted it
the exclusive privilege of maintaining a
telegraph line in the county in which Pen
sac0la is situated.
Mr.. C. G. Yonge. of Pensacola, Florida,
and Mr.. Grosvenor P. Lpwrey, of New
York, on behalf of the Western Union
Telegraph Company, resisted the applica-
ton upon various grounds, among them
that the original grant to the Pensacola
Company was void under the then existing
constitution of Florida; that the Western
Union had the right under the act of Con
gress OF July 90, 1866, to build telegraph
lines everywhere on the post roads OF the
United States. and that the railroad upon
which this line was to be built, and from
which the right of way had been purchased,
was post road.
Mr.. Z. w. Jones and Mr.. G. A. Stanley,
of Pensacola, appeared on behalf of the
Pensacola Telegraph Company, and claim
ed that the original charter, even if invalid
by the Florida constitution of 1866, had
been re-enacted by the constitution Of 1863
Judge Woods intimated his opinion that
the Florida legislation creating an exclu-
sive privilege in the Pensacola Telegraph
Company was free from objection under
the constitution of Florida; but in view Of
the existence of the act of Congress of
July o. 1866, upon the constitutiOnality of
which he declined to express an opinion on
this preliminary motion, he refused to grant
the Injunction.

The New Cromwell Line Steamship Hud-
SOU

The new steamship Hudson, which re-
Gently arrived at this port from Wilmington,
Delaware, is one of the finest specimens
of American shipbuilding ever seen in New
York. She was built by Pussy, Jones g. Co.
of Wilmington, and will ply between this
port and New Orleans on the Cromwell line.
The new steamer is built of iron, is 300 feet
long on deck, has thirty-four feet breadth
of beam and twenty five feet nine inches
depth of hold. She is double decked and
schooner rugged. She is furnished with q
vertical c0ndensing engine, the cylinder
being forty-eight inches in diameter and
the piston having seventy-two inch stroke.
There are four return tubular boilers, each
having three furnaces. The boilers are
fourteen feet long and nine feet in diameter:
The propeller has blades Of gun metal, and
is fifteen feet in diameter. The new steamer
is divided by bulkheads into five water
tight compartments. The requirements of
passengers have been foreseen and provided
for in the construction of the new vessel.
On the main deck are twenty-tOur state
rooms, of which the walls and ceilings are
| neatly painted. The trimmings are of black
walnut. The windows are of plate glass
and are hung with lace curtains. Brussels
carpets cover the floors, and handsome and
comfortable lounges covered with crimson
plush are ranged along the side. The
ladies saloon is tasteful and luxurious. The
walls are painted in pearl with blue panels
aud gilt molding. Handsome carpets cover
the floor, and lounges Of black walnut cev-
| cred with crimson plush and decorated
with gliding are found on every side.
Graceful chandeliers hang from the ceiling
and give to the apartment when lighted q
brilliant appearance. The dining saloon is
furnished in a manner similar to the ladies'
saloon. 1t has four tables and will seat
fifty passengers. On the promenade deck
are the pilot house, the captains room, and
a small cabin for passengers. The equip
ment of the Hudson is first class in every
particular, and she has attracted much
atten ton since her arrival a few days ago.
The new vessel will make trial trip to-
day, and will eail for New Orleans on Sat
urday. August Is. She is commanded by
CAPTAIN T.. Y. Gager.-Ne,c York Tribune.

Her skin is moist, and cold, and pink,
But warm and red the lips press,
And sill her beauty seems to shrink
Compacter in ! er cir ging dress:
While Ger her shoulders to the hip,
Ger swelling bust and far adown,
In trailing gold the tresses drip
Which form at nighl her braided crown.
No more her eyes in languor swim,
But kindle With coquettish strife,
And every pulse in every limb
Seems thrObbing into radiant life;
Her cheek hath caught a ruddier stain,
Ano her small feet in sand that sink
Are marble. white. y 18th many vein
Down to the almond nails of pink.
Her teeth are white as the flashing surf.
Her eyes are blue as the bay in calm,
And her breath to TIE new-mown clover tur
Is a rival in its fragrant balm:
Oh hsppy sea that has held her form,
With her beauty the whole bright scene is warm
Her beauty Of gesture. and face, and breast!
Proudly she stands in her 81 arlet dress,
And my eyes give q culver and then grow dim
A. axe on her infinite l.veliness
OF DE- licate color ond rOuI ded limb;
And the bright blue bay with its fitting sails
And the silver sands, AM the rocks of bTOwc,
And the woods that are dark OH the distant hills.
All seem but frame for my lady bright
frame net worthy her matches grace
Her lips of red, and her eyes of light,
And the wonderful charm Of her winsOme face;
Oh, here let me lie and die at her feet,
Let my seul in its sip his for her pass away
For my life hath its climax and Death were sweet
With her eyes gazing DOWN ON me here Oday!

As her small, cool fingers touch my palm,
And through all of my veins the curl ents dance
As I fee on my cheek her breath of bal";
All the springs Of my life are IN her cOnt'o,
For though faces more perfect know full we'll
In rich, wOmanly beauty of body and sOnl
There are none to compare with my seaside belle
The brown rocks glow as she bounds along.
And the black weeds thrill in the silver spray,
And the birds in the blue sing d gladder sOng

A Better MAN Cham BIudsoe.

A Better Man than Bluds0e.
John Hay has sung of the noble explicit
of Jim BludsOe, pilot of the Prairie. Belle
"Tll hold her nozzle agin the bank
Till the last galOOts ashore"
The brave self-sacrifice of Charlie Dit
man, who died at his post on the Rogers
yesterday deserves to live IN story as q
nobler act than that other. When the fire
was discovered he turned the wheel 90 as
to be ad the boat toward the Indiana shore.
But to his horror he found that the rudder
did OF answer to the wheel. 1t was evil
dent that the tiller rope had been cut, or
had b ur med through. So the boat was I'M
mana ge able and drifted on a sand bar,
some distance from the shore, and the pas
seDgers and crew had the water before
them as their only refuge from the flames.
Although his efforts to govern the boat
were fruitless, Dittman seems to have still
chung to the hope that the rudder would
again answer his will, and SO stood at the
wheel, steadfast and grand in his self-mar-
tyrdom until the hot flames licked up the
frail pilothouse, and he persisted with his
hands upon the wheel. Courier Journal.
