THE FAMOUS ELCHO SHIELD.

The Elcho Shield was presented in 1862 by
Lord Elcho for annual competition between
England and Scotland. Ireland was alter
ward admitted to compete for it. Since the
competition commenced the shield has been
won eight times by England, four years by
Scotland. and now twice by Ireland. No
Fights from the British colonies or elsewhere
were ever allowed to compete for the Elcho
Shield, the simple reason being that it is re-
stricted to Great Britain and Ireland, nor
would it be allowed to go out of what is
called the United Kingdom.
This remarkable trophy is about forty
eight inches high and twenty-six wide AS it
stands in the exhibition tent on Wimbledon
common, supported on an appropriate pedes-
tai covered with crimson velvet, the beholder
would scarcely desire to look on finer piece
of workmanship. 1t is embossed solid silver,
and the workmanship is of exquisite touch
and finish. The surface has dull tint, like
oxidized silver-which in fact it is. The
shield is divided into number of compart-
ments, each one emblazoned with some brave
tradition of British history.
Queen Elizabth and the present reigning
sovereign of Great Britain are given promi-
nent place among the bold knights and fair
DANES of historic celebrity who serve to illus
trate certain passages of English history. The
most artistic chiseling is employed to bring
out the details of battle pieces which adorn
the borders of the field, and figures of men
in armor on horseback and on loot are made
as plain and palpable to the eye as the artists
cunning baud cut can them. Battle and hunt
ing scenes are composed and executed with
great fidelity to nature. The price of this ex-
quisite piece of workmanship is said to be
$40, 0O0.-N 7. Herald.

WASHINGTON NOTES.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 18.-The Plymouth. a
the mouth of the Rio Grande, and the Canaan
daiQua, recently at the mouth of the Missis
sippi, have been ordered to the assistance Of
the Rio Bravo. She is to be foated, and, il
possible, towed into Galveston harbor. The
Secretary of the Treasury was requested to
order the revenue cutter Dix to the scene Of
the disaster
Owing to the delay in receiving the telegraph
orders to proceed to Tripoll, the U. S. steamer
Hartford has not yet reached that port. In
formation was received at the Navy Depart
ment that she is now coaling at the mouth OF
the Suez Canal, and will proceed Immediately
to that place.
It is believed at the department that the
Congress, of the European feet, has reached
Tnpoi by this time, for the purpose OF de-
manding the arrest and punishment OF the
Tripolitan sailors who insulted the United
States Consul and his wife short time ago.
Prominent naval officers here express the
opinion that the Tripolitan authorities did
not await the arrival of vessel of war to de-
mand reparation, bat arrested the perpetrators
of the insult when they learned that orders
had been issued for our vessels to proceed to
that Mace.
