Separate sleeping-Cars for Women Travellers.
Buffalo Courier: A lady traveller writing
about sleepingcars and her experience on

formed, demands some other position than

what more agreeable to perform portions of
the toilet unobserved by the multitude. Men

Spies Watching Don Carlos

Inspector Thorue appeared at the Fifty-
seventh street police station, New York. on
Friday, and notified Justice Kasmire that
spies or some other persons were following
Don Carlos wherever he went, subiecting
him to system of espionage as odious as i
was unwarrantable, Justice Kasmire. on
learning these facts, accompanied by his
clerk, John McKeon, proceeded to the
Windsor Hotel, where Don Carlos is stop.
ping, to determine what protection could
be afforded him. After short conversation
in which Mr. Charles B. Waite, the proprie-
tor actsd as Interpreter, Don Carlos came to
the conclusion not to obtain a warrant for
Che arrest of the persons, although they
were well known to him through the police.
His reason for so doing was that the affair
coming to light through the medium of the
press his action might be attributed to per-
sonal cowardice. The persons of whom the
prince complains are, it is believed, emissa-
ries of the Spanish government in the en-
ploy of Henry Davies, Jr., private detec.
tive agent in William street. 1t was finely
decided that Inspector Thorne should. If any
further annoyance was given the prince. ar.

Addition, Division and silence.

It was on distant seas and years ago that
the incident occurred, but the moral is fresh
and warns all men everywhere against mix,
ing drinks or medicines on principles, as,
for instance, hard or soft money in the same
platform. A certain sea captain, as is the
custom of his craft, had taken with him on
voyage chest of medicines, together
with q manual Of allopathic practice, by
consulting which the appropriate remedy
for any set of symptoms could be selected.
On one occasion sailor, complaining that
he had "something on his stomach" ap-
piled to the skipper for relief. According
to the handbook wine glass of No. Is was
the specific for this particular malady. But
there had been other stomachs with some
thing on them, as they sailed, and the
calls for wine glass of No. Is had been so
numerous that the supply was exhausted.
Now the captain was man of resources,
and he rose to meet the emergency. He
would mix half wine glass of No. 8 with
an equal quantity of No. Z, and unless
arithmetic was altogether delgst0p a11asTf'
snare, the result would ho bd@'t The compound
square aQfetp and the sailor took it in.
lTMie effect was sudden and alarming, and
although there remained very little on the
stomach of the patient, the captain averred
hat he had lost all faith in mathematics

Interesting Discoveries at Athens

Some important discoveries were made at
Athens during the past month. The Arch
geological Society has commenced excava-
tions at the foot of the precipice on which
the Pantheon stands, namely below the
the southwest angle of the building. Be-
tween the base of the Acropols at this point
and an outer medieval and Turkish con.
struction, large quantity of soil has &C.
cumula5ed, and in removing this the anti.
quarians came upon the remains of classic
building, which, according to the Athens
correspondent of the "Levant Herald !"
"there is every reason to regard as the Tenn
pie of Esculapius described by Pausanias.
and mentioned by other authors" Mapy
fragments of inscriptions have been found
much mutilated head of Esculapius, fe,
male torso, and some votive tablets, with
the usual symbolic or commemorative re-
liefs. But the great 'ind" consisted of an
inscription of eighty lines, setting forth the
treaty between the Athenians and Chalet.

Doorkeeper Fitzhugh, collected funds
from the employees of the House for the
purchase of team for that "bigger man

he was summarilly kicked ont of Office
when the two honestly friends of the dis.
missed doorkeeper, McCord and Fletcher,
put their heads together and declared the
subscribers a joint stock company, and is
sued certificates of shares 1t was sharp
dodge Of McCord and Fletcher, who have
since the adjournment disposed of the outfit
at handsome price and destroyed all
claims Of the subscribers thereto, The
team was purchased just about the time of
Fitzhughs exit, SO the proposed beneficiary
never enjoyed the use of tie team, Messrs.
McCord and Fletcher enjoying it, much to
the chagrin Of the stockholders, who with
out any recognized voice in the matter,
have been compelled to quietly submit to
the swindle. What a shrewd swindle on
the & part of McCord and Fletcher, and
what prize was missed by Fitzhugh.

The nomination of Ex-Governor Nor

Of New York could have chosen. Morgan,
in the field, will bring into the contest the
prestige of wealth, and the reputation Of
partisan sagacity. Both parties will make
desperate effort to carry New York, and
the organs Of both parties claim success. 1t
il probable that the Empire State will be-
come the battle ground in the East as
Indiana will be in The West. The Re-
pablicans are determined to give the Demo-
cratsactive employment from this time until
November. The political movements on
the soils Of New York and Indiana through
the peculiarities Of the electoral system,
many decide who is to be the next Presi-
dent. The aggregate popular vote Of the
nation will have little to do with the Off
cial results. The carrying Of the State Of
New York or Indiana, by one Of ma
jority, may elect the President A des-
perate effort will be made by each party,
and vigorous will be the campaign in the
Empire State.

who came in crowds to see the stock and

their babes, and were dressed in their Sun
day clothes and sun-bonnets. Among the
young girls was one scarcely eighteen years
of age, a tisherman's daughter, who was
pronounced by all strangers to be the "the
belle of Chincoteague." She possessed a
rare and beautiful classic face, shaded In a
deep sun bonnet, into which she drew her

a city belle, in composition dress and pink

wore. The peninsula girls of Delaware and
