and then cut her own throat. She was
undoubtedly deranged. A. ID. Schaefler,
Cashier Of the Farmers and Mechanics
Bank, Of Westminster, Md, cut his
throat with razor. His body was found
in his stable, his right hand grasping the
rozor, and loaded revolver lying near,
but undischarged. No cause assigned.
Foreign Notes.
From the first Of May to the 30th Of
June the average daily circulation Of
the London Telegraph was 2,2l5 cop
les, the largest that any daily newspa-
per has ever had.
Worth now declines TO fit dresses
for fee Of less than 100 francs, IN adj
dition to the cost Of making, and will
not undertake 1t at all unless the within
suits him. He needs more time for the
contemplation Of the possibilities. =
Wagner is reported to be so embar-
raised pecuniarily that unless he receives
substantial help he will not be likely to
have much time in the future for new
compositions. The great performances
at Beyreuth left large deficit, and the
London concerts were disastrous finan-
cial failure.
The fatti-Caux scandal appears to
be settled as far as the courts Of France
can accomplish it. The Marquis is le-
gally adjudged the injured party, and
the fascinating but indiscreet dird has
the judicial seal set upon what has hith-
erto fioated about upon the breath Of
evil rumor, whose authority can always
be questioned.
The Queens Maids of Honor are all
granddaughter Of peers who are not
below the rank of Earl, that being q
sine qua non Of eligibility for the posi-
ton. They receive $1,000 year, and
if they marry the Queen presents them
with $4,000. Each is on duty about two
months in the year. Since the Prince
Consort's death they have had dread
fully dull time Of il. Many of these la
dies have remained on until past so.
The eldest daughter of the King of
the Belgians, the Princess Louise, has
left her husband, the Prince Of Saxe-Co-
burg Gotha, for the second time. Her
marriage was love-match. Prince
Philip, the husband, has gone to Paris,
where he visits all public places in COM
pany with an actress. To all remon-
strances he coolly replies that he be-
HAYES no worse than his father-in-law,
and that his wife is silly to be more diff
ficult than her Royal and Imperial
mother.
Paul de Cassagnac, the French
Deputy, journalist, bully, and duellist,
received his first instruction in fencing
from a woman. She was the daughter
Of a Polish fugitive, by vocation a fenc-
ing master. She came TO ask assistance
for her sick father, and proved the truth
Of her story by challenging doubter
to bout with the foils, and easily dis
arming him. Under the tuition of this
woman Cassagnac became one of the
most expert swordsmen of France. He
has fought 10 duels, and never received
a wound.
In company, Theirs likes ID listen
to only one person-himself. Sardou
is in this respect very much like him.
He will talk for half an hour brilliantly,
and he has no anxiety to receive re-
ply. The elder Dumas was another con-
versationalist Of the same type. He
would talk like well written book, but
would not listen. The younger Dumas,
on the contrary, is shy and reticent.
Victor Hugo speaks strikingly, much as
he writes; in antitheses using surprising
smiles, exaggerated epithets, and i'm
pressive illustrations. He was favor
lite Of Louis Philippe, who was himself
an excellent conversationalist.
