American Girls in Foreign Capitals.

A London correspondent has some precious
gossip about Americans there. Americans,
tbs said, are quite the rage this season in
London. At Ascot, where fashion reaches its
full bloom with the blossom of its spring,
scarce broken and untouched by autumn's
soberer tint, the royal inclosure. sacred but
to select few, was crowded by our fair coun-
trywomen. There were gathered the Living
stones, the Van Hoffman's, Mrs. and Miss
Paran Stevens and the Butter-D uncans
There is said to have been some rivalry in
the field of beauty between Miss Stevens and
the fair otch-American flower of the house
of Duncan. The beauty of the Boston Re-
becca seems to be preferred to that of the New
York Rowena.
Some time since Miss Steyens was assigned
to Major Walter Hartford, and his then friend
and companion, the Prince of Wales, was
known to aid his suit But the fact that the
Major was discovered cheating at cards threw
a difficulty in the way of this delicate enter
prise, and the Duke of Montrose is now the
favored guest. And as the ducal veins sadly
need monetary vivi6cation, it is not unlikely
Miss Stevens will return to America as the
Duchess of Monrose This will be the
second American girl who, within two years,
has connected our republican with England's
ducal courts. Some half century since, it will
be remembered, the three Misses Cation, of
Baltimore, were married respectively to the
Duke Of Leeds, the Marquis of Wellesley and
Lord Stafford. Since then there has been an
interregnum. But to-day American beauty
bears away the blue ribbon in all the capitals
Of Europe

How They Faced Death.

Augustus Caesar chose to die in standing po-
sition, and was careful In arranging his person
and dress for the occs sion. julius Caesar, when
slain by the conspirators in the Capitol, con-
cealed his face benz ath the folds of his toga so
that his enemies might not see the death-pang
upon his count enance. Siward, Earl of Northum-
berland, when at the point of death, quilted his
bed and put on his armor, saying. It became
not man to die like a beast" Maria Louisa. of
Austria, who, short time before she breathed
her last, having fallen into an apparent slight
slumber, one OF the ladies in attendance re-
marked that her Majesty seemed to be asleep.
No, replied she, 81 could sleep if would in
dulge repose, but am sensible of the near ap-
proach Of death, and would not allow myself to
be surprised by him in my sleep; wish to meet
him wide awake" Lord Nelson, on receiving the
fatal shot, said to Capt. Hardy, aThey have done
for me at last, Hardy; my backbone is shot
through" and had the presence of mind, while
carried below, to take out his handkerchief and
cover his face and stars, to be concealed from
the gaze Of his crew. And last of all, the great
Bonapsrte died in his Field Marshal's uniform
and boots, which he had ordered to be put on
short time previous to his dissolution.

A 100000 PER ANNUM PREACHER.

The Plymouth congregation seem to think
that they can not do enough to satisfy Bsecher
and the world of their unlimited faith in their
pastor, and their entire disregard of public
opinion. Heretofore he has been drawing the
munifcent salary of $4,000 per year, but
since the termination of the trial his wor-
shipful people have agreed unanimously,
through their representatives, to increase
his pay to 100000. Verify Beechers
lines have fallen in pleasant places so
far as worldly goods are concerned. Talk
about the Pope's infalibility why,
it seems as if the brothers and sisters OF
Plymouth looked upon their leader in the
same light, and felt impelled to exhibit their
infatuation in such way as would leave no
doubt of their blind idolatry. This increase
Of salary is an indication of long and full
purse in the Plymouth treasurers hands, and
the ease with which it is lavished upon the
pastor may give rise to an awkward suspicion
as to one of the reasons why the jury didn't
agree.
The Louisville Courier-Journal makes an
admirable suggestion in reference to the
money. It advises that Beecher keep one
fourth Of it, and turn the rest over to Mrs.
Tilton. If Beecher needs money now, how
much more SO does the woman who has
through him been brought into such trouble
require aid. Think of it, your Eminence,
Henry Ward.
It is just possible that part of that 500, 900
may find its way into the pockets Of Sherman
and Tracy & Co. Lawyers must be paid, and
we never could understand before where all
the money was to come from to pay for such
tremendous legal services.

AT THE STILL.
Capture of a Large Distillery.
A Wealthy Whisky Ring Here at
Work.

Since the late crusade against illicit distilla
ton of whisky North, the internal revenue
officials here have been on the q,i uive to dis
cover whether there was such thing quietly
going on here. Declared of the aid they
formerly received from informers by the law
repeating the act giving the informer one
halt, they have prosecuted the work by them.
selves, and now, after long watching, have
caught one bird.
The neighborhood of Julia and New Levee
the old days of "a, IS and 6. Hotels for the
travelling community lined the squares, and
Western produce houses were closely packed
together, all doing thriving trade. Gradually
business sought other centers, better hotels
were built, and slowly the whole locality sank
into drowsy state of decay. A visitor there
at once recognized that fact by the old shut.
tiers clinging to their places by one hinge and
the general tendency of the chimneys to
swallow about twenty of their top bricks.
A few poor families remain about there,
ostensibly vending charcoal, as bucket Of
that fuel stands in front of each door await
ing customers, who never come. The whole
place is what Mark Tapley would call lawful
ly jolly" A distillery first revived the place
in 1868, but it got q little crooked and was
rectifed by the government, as the testimony
was full proof of its way wardness.
Little attention beyond q casual examina-
ton has been the locality lately, but the in
crease of whisky stock here aroused the sus-
picions of the internal revenue officials, and
they determined to ferret out the cause. At
ter tedious labor they found out that the
building at the corner of Julia and New Levee
streets, large distillery, was in process of
erection. It's size and the amount of capital
(some 800 000) invested indicated at once
that money was backing it. Awaiting the
proper time pounce was made on Thursday
and the place taken.
. A large amount of mash was found in
process of fermentation in new and capacious
tubs, whilst the still itself was of the most
costly character, being valued at about $4,000,
and of ten barrels per day running capacity.
A keeper was placed on the premises under a
marshal's warrant.
Up to noon Saturday no claimant had ap-
peared, and it is not probable one WILL as the
owner, under the law, is amenable to crimi-
nal charge.
At the Custom House, the opinion is
general that there is a large and wealthy
whisky ring here and that there are other
crooked stills secretly at work. Coppers miths
have been busy making worms and stills,
and something shows that the whisky trade is
not yet dead. vigorous and energetic
search will be prosecuted, and making spirits
lllicitly here will be as difficult as it is in the
"Auld Isle," where English revenue officials
search even the caves.

tries It was virtually admitted that gov
eminent modelled in its executive department
after that Of our United States, would be in
France neither safe nor satisfactory. Before
such change could be made, it was urged,
the character of the French people would have
to be essentially changed. Circumstances de-
mand that the President Of the French Re-
public should have and retain powers suff-
cient in amount and in durability to secure
the execution Of the laws, the maintenance of
order, and the defense Of the rights Of the
French people.
In the new law it will be seen that there is
no intention on the part of the National As
sembly to refer the Executive question 10 the
people in any event whatever. In fact, the
Assembly assumes sovereignty to itself and
confirms sovereign power in the hands of
MacMahOn.

A Good Move.

NEW ORLEANS. July 10, 1875.
Friend BuHetin-Please allow me, through the
columns Of your valuable paper, to call atteI ton
to the recent movement of the dry goods house oil
d. II. Holmes for the pleasure and enjoyment OF
their numerous clerks. Every clerk in this large
establishment has been granted three afternoons
in each week during the summer months for
recrea ion. This is noble example which every
similar house will do we'll to follow.
For the dry goods clerks of our city have
longer hours Of labor than can possibly con-
tribute to the profit Of the employer, or to the
health Of the employed, or to the happiness OF
their families Having long looked for change
which would contribute to the comfort Of these
deserving men, most heartily congratulate D..
II. Holmes & Co. for their pioneer step in this
movement. Very respectfully,
A BULLETIN SUBSCRIBER.
We agree with the writer Of the above in
commencing the action Of Messrs. D. Fl.
Holmes & Co. During the summer months,
when business is by no means brisk, bust
ness houses will find it real economy to give
their employees SUCH opportunities as they
can for rest and recreation. They will be
much better fitted to fulfill honestly the Ia
bors OF the busy season when they are allowed
to recuperate during the summer and are not
pushed to hard work, day after day, for the
whole year.

The bodies of two persons, one of whom
had been buried eighteen and the other forty
three years, which were exhumed recently
near Bath, Maine, were found to be petrifed
One body, that of woman eighty years of
age at the time of her death, was as perfectly
preserved and the features as natural as on
the day of her burial Her hair had grown
to a considerable length, but the last vestige
of her grave clothes had disappeared, leaving
grayish tint The other body, mans, had
also turned to stone, OF deep rich brown
color; but while all the clothing had disap-
peared from the body of the woman in
eighteen years, his body still retained por-
tons of the cloth in which he was dressed for
the last time. The bodies lay in several
inches of water.

A post-ofice agent travelling in Texas tells
of the successful use of the gall OF rattle
snake as an antidote for the bite OF that rep
tile. In the cure spoken of relief was almost
instantaneous to the patient, who was with
ing in paroxysms of great pain, rapidly swell
ing and becoming purple. A friend OF the
writer, who spent several years in California
and New Mexico, saw the same remedy sue
cessfully used among the Indians in the latter
country. In one instance, an Indians dog
near the camp was bitten in the nose by q
large rattlesnake. The Indians Immediately
opened the reptile and administered the gall.
The cure was rapid and effectual.
