DEATH ORA GOOD WOMAN.

The Mobile Register of Thursday, June
Sth. announces the death on the 9th inst,
of Mrs. Short, proprietress Of Shorts
Hotel on the eastern shore of Mobile Bay.
This place is, without exception, the
most delightful Of the many pleasant re-
sorts along the Eastern Shore, in Baldwin
county, Alabama, and the announ-
cement of the death of Mrs.
Short, who for thirty-lve sum-
mers overlooked all its hospitablc
appointments for the comfort and
pleasure OF hundreds and thousands OF
guests from all parts OF the country, will
cause a feeling of unfcisned sorrow in
the hearts of all who ever enjoyed So
journ under her roof. Other summer
resorts on the Eastern Shore have lovely
grounds, wide porches, pleasant
rooms and well-ladened tables which
appeal TO all the sympathics
of the inner man. But. at Shorts
Hotel, without any.of the ostentation of
wealth, the guests found-what? An
atmosphere redolcnt OF flowery perfume !;
exquisite cleanliness wherever the
eye rested house surrounded by
fine 'promenades,' above and be-
low, and made up OF large, cool and well
ventilated rooms; table with which
Epicurus himself would have expressed
satisfaction; and more than all this, per-
feet quiet-the absence OF all the sights
and sounds which weary the eye and tire

his sickle Keen" cannot cut
down the lofty trees nor level

but he laid his icy hand ON its ruling
spirit. and the place which knew her
once will know her no more forever.

from their native State down into the
pine-tree groves of Alabama. The east

was wilderness of fruits and flowers,

HOTEL and made ii one of the features OF
the Shore. Many weary invalid has
breathed new life and health beneath
its calm roof, and with every inspiration
of the salt bay breeze has felt as Irving
did when he dwelt in the Alhambra in
Spain-that mere existence was enjoy
ment. Captain Short died in 1872. His
widow breathed her last few days ago.
The "Hotel' will pass into other hands
and continue to be a popular place OF
summer resort, but those who knew her
will miss "Mother Short" even In imag-
ination, from under its broad root, and
sigh as they picture her vacant chair at
its hospitable table.

Hall, 1t is evident that the only oppor-
unity that has ever been presented in
this country of seeing a large, varied,

of oil paintings, and water colors, is
highly appreciated. The paintings are
displayed in different rooms, according
to the nationality of the artist. Some
collections, as those OF France and the
United States, requiring the space of
more than one room.
The Austrian collection Is in the large
east room of Memorial Hall, and contains.

Catherine Cornaro, OF noble Venetian
family, was married to the king of the

husband, she gave her kingdom as free

assembled on the piazza of San Marco to
