The Oldest Woman in the World.
Los Angeles (Cal. Express.

An event of extraordinary interest
occurred here recently. A wagon came
in from the mission and stopped in front
of the court house, and in a few minutes
an old lady seated in the bed OF the
wagon became the object OF general at,
tention. An immense crowd gathered
around the vehicle to witness perhaps
the oldest living woman in the world.
Eulalia Perez CULLEN, who, according to
the records of her family, has reached
the great age of one hundred and thirty
eight years and some months, was the
rare object of this curiosity. She sat
there wrapped up in rebosa, and con-
versed freely with all who spoke to her.
The lady seemed to greatly enjoy the
attraction she provoked, and evinced an
animation of juvenility contrasting Curl
Ously with her great age. Her features
are hardly discernable beneath the heavy
wrinkles of her face. Her eyes, which
have not lost their vision, peer out from
beneath two red circles of lids. Her
mouth is sunken, and although her
speech is mumbling, yet it comes out
toletably clear. The old lady was great
ly amused with the interest she excited,
and spoke pleasantly to all who addressed
her. In the same wagon, sitting beside
her was another old woman, who was one
of her daughters, and on the drivers
box were two of her great great-grand-
children. The old lady was brought TO
the city on All application made by Mrs.
de White, one of her daughters, for let
ters of guardianship. 1t seems that the
old lady is living with Mariana Anto-
MIA Higuera, one of her daughters, who
has formed the idea of taking her mother
to the Centennial, under the idea that
there is money in it. Mrs. de White
objects to this, and in order to restrain
her sister from taking the old lady out OF
the county filed an application for letters
of guardianship. The case came before
Judge O'Melveny in the Supervisor
room, and Mr.. T. p. Ramirez appeared
for the applicant and Mr.. S. M. White
for the contestant. Mrs. de White testi
fed that she had been told by her sister
that she would take the old lady to Sar
Francisco and thence to Philadelphia i
she could make the necessary arrange
ments. Mr.. de White, the husband o
this witness, testified that the old lady
was in her dotage and not a fit person t
decide as to q matter of this kind. H'
said he had means and wished to provide
for the wants of his mother-in-law, ant
believed that she would not live If takel
away from the county. Mariana sale
she had no means beyond her house a
the Mission, but that she could provide
for her mother by her work; that sh'
had lived with her twenty years, ant
that her mother was willing to 60 any
where she had a mind 10 take her
When the testimony was all in, tn
Judge said that he was perfectly agrees
with the daughter who opposed the re
moval of the mother from the county, an
he should forbid it. But he would leav
the old lady at liberty to live with eithe
of her children, as she elected, in tn
meantime requiring Mariana to furnis
a bond in five hundred dollars that sh
would not take her mother out of tn

A gang of boys peeped through the
cracks in the high board fence that sur
rounds the unfinished walls of the great
aquarium that Mr.. w. @. Coup is build
ing at Thirty-fifth street and Broadway,
and strove to look through the sheath
ing of pine building that stands in the
center of the grounds. In that building
is large tank, and in the tank are two
genuine white whales that arrived in
New York from Labrador yesterday.
The tank, which is only the temporary
home of the great fish, is circular In
form, about twenty-five feet in diameter,
and has nine feet of water, made salt
enough to suit the taste of the average
whale. The two fish are about fifteen
feet in length, and of grayish white on
the back and soft snowy color under
meath. They splashed about their mar
row home yesterday, and frolicked as
contentedly as though it was an icy bay
of the north. They frequently rose to
blow, and the water bubbled and frothed
as their huge heads rose above the sur.
face. One of them had wounded his
Huke against jagged edge Of the tank
walls early in the day, and the flow of
blood had dyed the water crimson:
These whales are the first of the kind
that were ever taken alive, and many
people know not that such creatures
exist.
Mr.. Coup has long been anxious to
secure specimens of the white whale,
and to that end he kept men along the
Labrador coast for several years, but
without success. At length he dis
patched his brother, Il. F. Coup, late last
winter to the north, with instructions
not to return until he had captured a
white whale. Mr.. Coup reached a
French fishing village on the island OF
Aux Coudres, off the coast, fitted out,
and started with schooner and thirty
fishermen. They sailed two hundred
miles along the coast. At first the fish
erffAen looked upon the strangers with
suspicion, and said that the yankees
had brought bad luck, as the good fish
ing that had existed up to the time oi
their arrival had ceased" They wished
the party to leave, but as there soon
followed wonderful flow of luck, the
Frenchmen ascribed the change to Mr.
Coup and his men, and were thereafter
ready to do anything to help on the un
dertaking.
On the coast of Labrador the tide rises
about fifty or sixty feet, and so quickly
that fish are often left high and dry or
the shore before they can return. White
whales run up to the coast in this way
and are harpooned by the Frenchmen
Mr.. Coup sank large box in the sand.
of the shore. When the whales had
swan with the tide, and then found the
water suddenly leaving them, they nat
urally made break for the deeper water
of the pond, and were thus penned there
whom the sea had gone back.
The female of the two beasts died yes
terday afternoon by slowly bleeding t
death. She rose to the surface, and
after many struggles, rolled over on one
side and was dead. Her body was takel
from the tank with derrick, and las
evening it lay in the path about tn,
little pond. There was long deep gasl
in the throat, and it is believed that al
artery was cut. 1t is intended that tn
skin shall be stuffed.

The London Daily M,css Alexandra
Egypt, special says that the fate of the
Egyptian army in Abyssinia is exciting
much comment. The war has doubtless
been finished. About eight thousand
soldiers have arrived at Suez. These,
with others now on the way there
and awaiting embarkation at
Masowah, in all about fifteen thousand,
are said to be all that may be expected.
This leaves about fifteen thousand unac-
counted for. Several thousand were
doubtless killed in battle, and the re-
mainder are unable to leave because of
wounds. The battle of November last
was one of annihilation. OF one regiment
numbering six hundred, only eight re-
turned TO Egypt.

MINOR TOPICS.

THE crop of "Cubsn" tobacco grown
in Gadsden County, Florida, continues
TO increase in quantity and improve in
quality year by year. In 1870 the CEN
sus reported 1879 pounds. Last
spring writer to the Department of
Agriculture returned 100000, and this
spring $4,000 pounds for the crop of
1876, grown on 450 acres-an enlarge
ment of fifty per cent. in the area
planted. The quality is the best of any
crop since 1865, and is attributed to the
fact that experienced planters have en-
tered apon its cultivation.

TRUANT MADGE.

The shadows lie sleeping on field and hill
The cows came home an hour ago;
The bees are hived, and the nests are still:-
Where can the child be lingering 30?
Oh where can the little laggard stay
SO swift OF foot as she ever has been,
IL Ia not so far, by the meadow way,
To the lane where the blackberry vines begin.
Her neither stands In the doorway there,
Shading her eyes from the setting sun,
And up and down, with an anxious air,
Looks for trace Of the truant one.
Has she wandered on where the swamp flower
blow
In the darkling wood and lost her wayf
Has she slipped In the treacherous bog below
That hides under the MOSES green and gay
Nay, umorous mother, spare your fears
Your little maiden is safe the while.
No marsh bird screams In her startled cars
No forest mazes her feet beguile.
She is only standing amid the rye,
There at the end Of the clover plain,
And pulling daisy star, to try
Whether her love loves back again.
And VIII bends over the bars beside
Two heads are better than one, forsooth!-
Leaning and looking, eager-eyed,
To see II daisy tells the truth

Nor long since billiard player in
London in lighting cigar accidentally
let his match fall upon billiard-ball,
which at once burst into fame. Efforts
were made to extinguish it, unavailingly,
and it had to be left until it was COM
pletely consumed, which process took a
quarter of an hour. The explanation of
this strange phenomenon was sought,
this being the first time billiard-ball
had been known to act in such marvel
Gus manner, the curiosity of the specta-
ters being naturally excited. A chemist
explained the secret of the unexpected
combustion: The substance with which
the new ivory is made is called cellu-
loid, and is mixture of gun. cotton and
camphor, compressed and dried. 1t forms
a hard, elastic material, which, when
polished, has an absolute resemblance to
ivory.

AMONG English scientific men the
belief is gaining ground that hydropho-
bia may result from the bite of per-
fectly healthy dog. This theory would
seem to be sustained by a case which
recently occurred in New York. Sew
eral months ago Mr.. Kelly was slightly
bitten on the hand by a pet dog. The
wound soon healed, and as the dog was
apparently in a perfectly normal condi-
tion no uneasiness was felt about the
accident. A short time ago, however,
Mr.. Kelly exhibited symptoms of hydro.
phObia. All efforts to relieve him were
in vain, and after few days of intense
suffering he died.

Two Virginians sent David Howard,
of New York, five hundred dollars,
thinking they would get counterfeit
money in return for it. They got only
sawdsst, and David is now on trial for
sending swindling circulars through the
mails. His lawyers urge that his kind
of villainy does more to suppress coun-
terfeiting than the officers of the Gov
ernment. This is their argument:
"The men who were defrauded in this
manner were men who, if dealing with
genuine counterfeiters, would food the
country with counterfeit money; but
after being once bitten by one of these
sharpers it would be impossible for a
genuine counterfeiter to have any deal
ings with them. Instead of being sent
to the State prison, the Government
ought to pay Howard to continue in the
business"

st. John street. The number of houses
destroyed is estimated at about seven
hundred. The amount of insurance is
large. Many of the sufferers were shell
tered in the Riding School shed and the
artillery barracks. A meeting to devise
means for there relief was called.
Several residences inside the walls were
fred by sparks, but extinguished before
much damage was done. Three or four
children are missing and are supposed
to have perished in the flames. Owing
to the extent of the fire the water supply
gave out, and wooden houses and out
buildings were pulled down to prevent
the spread of the flames.

says that the people in Germany begin to

by the Turkish national party, can not
afford to accept defeat on the Sclavonian

power of the crown, and that England
approves their determination.
