following interesting narrative of

in tow of the Olga, is bringing
Cleopatra's Needle to England. The

all the seas we have had have been

think that she is too stiff, but this
he can remedy by throwing some
ballast overheard if necessary. The
drum on the bows acts as a splendid
breakwater, and takes all the force
of q head sea from the front of the
cabin.

day of her first appearance on the
English stage she led a very intense
life. He seemingly inexhaustible
energy was the marvel Of London
society. She would go through an
exhausting part at a theater and
then appear at a ball, and leaving
last, would seem the least fatigued.
She was fond of every description
Of gaiety, and it is probable that
she laid the seeds of her fatal i'll
ness in the rounds of fashionable
enjoyment. She was impulsive and
passionately fond Of life, and too
ready to make inexpedient sacri-
fees for the sake Of pleasure. Her
career, brilliant and successful
though it was, on the stage and in
society, teaches, by its sacrifice of
a fine physique and a splendid con-
stitution to an carly death, how
great is the cost at which enjoy
ment and success are often gained.

Last Hours ofTi,tsnn.

Late English papers contain fur
ther particulars Of the last scenes
in the life of Mile Titiens, and in.
dicate that her death was quite
sudden and altogether painless. On
Tuesday, October 2, the day before
she died, she was exceedingly cheer
full, and the day was made a partic
ularly happy one by the reception
of a very kind message from Queen
Victoria, expressing sympathy with
her Sufferings and admiration of
her talents. She dined as usual,
and expressed no discomfort in the
evening, but toward bedtime be.
came faint and could only retire
with assistance. She slept tran
quilly until about two o'clock in the
morning, when, though still able to
take nourishment, and entirely
conscious, she was found to be
evidently sinking, and died without
suffering. Mile Titiens appeared
on the stage in the early part of
the last opera season, but her
disease began rapidly to intensity
about the middle Of April, and
on the 10th of May she sang for
the last time in Lucrezia Borgia.
On this occasion it was a part
of her role to feign death, and
she remarked to a friend that she
thought she was really dying. 1t
then required four men to lift her.
She afterward underwent several
surgical operations without relief.
On the 18th of June, after a journey
to Worthing, she caught cold, and
her subsequent history was that of
a gradually declining strength,
with occasionally suffering relieved
by surgical skill. She died at her
home in st, Johns Wood, sur
rounded by her sisters and nieces
and many affectionate friends. Her
comparatively early death, at the
age of Eorty-three, is in part ex-
planned by the fact that from the

BOuud to Have His PautaIoons.


In a Paris letter in the New Or
leans Picayune we find this: A
very absent.minded member of the
French Institute was reading the
newspapers in the casino at Dieppe
the other day. Engrossed by what
he was reading, his left hand un-
consciously pushed the files of news
papers on the table. Each moment
he pushed farther from him the
pile of newspapers. Beyond them
was an inkstand. Presently the
inkstand went over the side Of the
table. 1t fell on the white trousers
of a Paris banker, who naturally
put yourself in his place-was furi-
GUS. The guilty party offered his
best excuses without appeasing the
bankers wrath, who shrieked
that his brand new pantaloons
were ruined. "But, sir, |
will cheerfully pay for them !;
be good enough to give me your
card, and | will send the money to
your hotel" "To my hotel Sir,
| don't know you. Imust instantly
have the thirty francs those panta-
looms cost" The guilty party drew
forth the thirty francs and paid
them; then he said, snow that
you have been paid, l hope you
have too much Of the delicacy Of a
gentleman to remain in my panta-
looms. You know those pantaloons
are my property, and l insist upon
their immediate delivery to me.
You had no confidence in me; /
have none in you. My pantaloonsl'
In vain the banker protested against
such haste. The crowd that had
gathered around the disputants
said the member of the Institute
was right, and the banker, after
sending for another pair of panta-
looms, surrendered the ink-stained
amid the laughter Of the bystanders.

she now follows straight in our
wake. She offers much more re.
sistance to the sea than l antici-
pated, and, l think, would have
been better with sharper bow and
stern. She drives the water off her
bows even in fine weather IN a mass
of foam, and her stern is all in
broken water. With favorable wind
she carries sail, but it does uot ap-
pear to help her much. The maxi
mum speed that we have attained is
a little over six knots with favorable
wind, which is two knots Or two and
one-half knots less than the Olga's
usual speed when heavily loaded, but
a head wind brings us down below
five at once.
We have had but one casualty,
which occurred on Sunday night
last, 3lst ult., at 10 pm, when
Carter signalled, "Stop; want as
sistance," and it was soon evident
that the tow line had parted from
the Cleopatra and hung down over
our stern. 1t took some time to
haul in the wire rope by means of
purchase tackle and steam winch
at first, and then by hand. When
the end came up we found the
thimble on the end of the tow line
was gone, and the eye broken
through; doubtless from the con-
slant wear on the bride, and per-
hapS rendering of the chain through
here during the last four days
heavy pitching had worn through
the thimble and then soon cut the
wire rope. We turned the rope
end for end, so as to give the other
end to Carter. This was not done
much before midnight, when we
made up to theOleopatra, and, as the
night was very dark and somewhat
stormy, told Carter we must wait
for daylight; so Lay to and lodged
about until 5 am, when we passed
him the other end of the wire rope,
and fastened it on with an anchor
shackle to the bride chain, made
fast at one end to the clamp on
sternpost and the other passed
round the drum.
This gave us the first opportun-
ity of speaking to Carter since we
started. He reported the ship all
right anG water-tight, fixings all
right; the upper bolts Of chain
sheayes, crab winch, etc., had
leaked little at first, and given
some trouble, but they had stopped
all with cement. l thought Carter
looked care-worn (; he must have q
terribly anxious time, and is con-
stantly on deck, as his boatswain is
lald up Ill with congestion of the
liver. He can get no rest day OF
night, and wonder how any one
can sleep in such a "rocking
horse" pitching almost constantly
fifteen times a minute. l expect
we will have to try and ship a mate
for him at Gibraltar, unless | can
persuade the captain to spare the
second mate from the ship, who is
a capital young fellow and anxious
to go on the Cleopatra.
l will keep this open till we get
to Algiers; will telegraph you there,
and post this via Marseilles, by
which route it may chance to reach
you before one from Gibraltar
could. But l will also post a press
copy of this from Glib, as we hope
not to have much more news to re-
port when we get there. We should
reach there on Saturday, the 9th
inst, and even if we have fine
weather can't calculate on reach
ing Falmouth in less than nine or
ten days, so we may hope to drop
anchor there, "Inshallah," any
time between the 18th and goth
inst.

who euacls the role of the Giant. with

Bates, a man of lofty pretentions, has
dared to state that he could eat salt off
of the Colonel's head, and moreover
intiinates that he (Bates) enjoys the
acquaintance of the Royal family OF
England. MIR. Goshen, in an interview
with our reporter, says that the near
est MIR. Bates ever got to the Queen,
was while in company with the Caro-
lima negroes. They were sent for, but
Mr.. Bates vas told not to come. and
did not. Col. Goshen Is willing to put
up $4,000 that the above facts are true,
aud also that Bates does not rank him
either in height, weight or intellect.
Put up or shut up 10 the language of
the Colonel, and we recommend the
American Giant to heed his words, or
else quit his newspaper blowing.

ones cannot we'll be imagined. Nature
fitted them for their peculiar roles, and
they have developed an appetite for

dances, they evince splendid talent in
that direction. Miss Jennie Quigley is
