international Marriages.

A correspondent of the Cincinnati Ga
zette, writing from New York, says:
The London author, FarieOn, is ex
pected here, in due time, on his wedding
trip, the bride being Mis- Jefferson,
daughter of the we'll known Rip Van
Winkle. 1t is an inevitable fact in the
record of the past that these interna-
tional marriages between people of genius
are seldom happy. The case of \. P.
Willis is a ready illustration. He mar
ried an English girl and brought the
bride home-that is, his home, not hers.
1t never became a home to her; but
both are dead, and there is ne need of
recalling a painful theme. Edwin For
rest affords another illustration, his do
nestle infelicities being sufficiently before
the world. We may look, also, at the
case of Fanny Kemble and Pierce Butler
which, in its day, afforded so much gossip.
Men and women of a high order or talent
are intensely national in their feelings.
and this often mars what ought to be
harmonious life. Joe Jefferson hasmade
large fortune by his profession, and
can place his daughter in an independent
position. He has been more successful
than anv comedian in the history of the
drama, his wealth being estimated at
| one-third of million or more. Hackett
/ the American "Falstaff," presents a dit
/ ferent record. He was an admirable
/ player, and yet died in debt, and a build
/ ing in this city, which he had mortgaged,
was lately sold under foreclosure.

moment of awful silence as Saova stood
before the trembling Filing. Slowly she
raised the veil which had concealed her
features. Then presenting the youth to
his lovely bride, she screamed aloud:
Elline Mccarthy, | here present to
you Scanlan, the Chief of the Glen"
The youth instantly dropped the arm he
had grasped, Elline fell upon her knees,
and Lady Gromlaith stood mOtionless
with horror. A loud, fendish laugh
burst from SaOva as she exclaimed tri-
umphautly, Now, Chief of the Glen,
where are your boasted ramparts? Where
your good sword to defend you from the
vengeance of a poor, weak woman ?
Why stand you all aghast? Why gaze
on me as if in fear? lis true l am pes
tiferOus and have inOculated with the
poison of death all those upon whom /
have breathed. Look on your bride
see how beautiful she is | was once as
fair. Now what am l? and who made
me what | am ?'
Fiend-like she sprang upon the object
of her hate, clung to him like serpent,
and covered his face and lips with deadly
kisses. During this horrible struggle
neither his mother nor Elline dared
approach to assist him; they saw him
WrIthIng beneath the poisonous embraces
of the wretched woman, and could only
weep and call for help. At length the
vassals came; but at the sight of Saova
they stood Petrified and immovable, not
daring to approach beyond the threshold.
The frighttul contest was terminated by
Scanlan's plunging his sword into Saova's
bosom. For several days the young
chieftain's life was despaired of. During
this time the Lady Gromlaith made a
vow to bestOw a silver lamp upon the
blessed St. Finan Lobhra if her son re-
covered fIOm his present danger. She
also made a gift to monastery to defray
the expense of keeping the lamp con-
stantly burning before the altar, both by
day and night. The Chief of the Glen
recovered, but the legend says he never
afterwards had the use of his right arm,
which was the cause of his having the ap-
Pellaticn of " Scanlan the Scathed," and
that Elline fell a victim to the dreadful
Pestilence which ravaged this fair island.

Salt Used In France.

The first number of the new menthly
Statistical Bulletin of the French min~
istrv of finance contains some interesting
tables showing the annual consumption
of salt in France from 1916 to 1876.
The lamentations seems to have been
due principally to changes in duty, al
though the tendency has all the time
been toward gradual increase Of con-
sumption. In 1916 the amount OF salt
consumed in France was ] S pounds per
head of the population. After that it
increased slowly, and between 1913 and
I84S it never fell below 1872 pounds per
head, but never reached Is pounds,
these being the extreme limits. in 1849,
owing to a reduction of the duty, the
average amount consumed rose to POS
pounds per head, and in 1873 to 218
pounds. The average amount consumed
in 1876 was 1874 pounds.

Ages of the EurOpean SOrereigns.

Queen Victoria has just attained her
ffty-eighth birthday. Only twelve
others of the reigning soyeIeigns of
Christendom (out of thirty-eight in alI

having been reached a lew years ago.
The car is older than the queen by
about a year, having been born on the
29th of April 1918. The king of Italy is
some ten months younger than the queen,
the date of his birth being March ii,
1920. The emperor Francis Joseph is
not yet fOTty-seven. He was born in the

The Coming Cotton Crop.

The committee on information and
statistics for the Savannah (Ga.) cotton
exchange make the following reports for
the month of May:
GeOrgia.-One hundred and ninety re-
plies, from sixty-four counties, show the
increased area in land planted to be two
and a half per cent. The weather has
been generally more favorable than last
year. There was too much rain in the
early spring; the nights have been too
cool, and latterly the weather has been
teO dry. The stands are good, but the
crop is two weeks later than last year
Labor is about the same in number, but
improved in efficiency. Complaints of
want of rain are very general.
FlOrida.-FOrty replies from sixteen
counties state that there has been but a
slight increase in the area of land planted
in cotton. The weather has been less
favorable than last year, the nights being
too cool The stands are generally coed.
TheacTOp is two weeks later than that of
last season. Labor is decidedly bettes
than heretofore. But little gUanO har
ever been used in this state. The plant
is very small, but has been we'll cuIti-
waited. There are complaints from some
sections of CUtworms and lice.
South Carolina The Charleston ex-
change report, covering twenty-seven
counties in this state, says the area in
cotton planted has decreased three per
cent. Weather unfavOrable; stand in
most cases bad, and ten to twenty days
later than last year. Fields clean, but
plant small and backward, and, from
want of rain and cool nights, max
ing slow growth. Labor abundant and
efficient. Use of fertilizers decreased five
and One-half per cent.

A Brute Girl.

The bTavest girl in Australia is Grace
Vernon BusselL The steamer GeOrgette
was wrecked off the west coast, near
Perth; a small boat had been capsiZed
in the surf, and women and children
were struggling in the water. On the
crest of precipitOus cliff appeared the
figure of young lady on horseback. To
the sailors on the stranded vessel it
seemed utterly impossible that a horse
and its rider should be able to descend
that precipice. But the young lady
never fsltered. She plunged down at
full speed, and, reaching the shore,
spurred her horse into the boiling surf.
There were two lines of roaring breakers.
With her splendid pluck she dashed
through them and reached the boat, to
which the affrighted woman and children
were clingiBg. Her horse stumbled over
a hawser which stretched between the
wreck and the small boat !; but she Clung
to the saddle and brought the women
and children to land. There was still a
man left on board the boat. She plunged
into the breakers again and brought him
safe to the shore. While those whom
she had saved were rescuing those who
remained on the wreck, the heroic girl,
drenched with the sea foam and half
tainting with fatigue, gallOPed a dozen
miles home to have relief sent to the
halfdrowned, half-necked folks whom
she had left on the beach. Her sister,
Mrs. BrocKman, took n horse, gallOped
that night through the woods to the
shore, taking tea, milk, sugar and -four
for the destitute people; and the next
day the rescued were brought to Mr..
BrOckman's house and cared for. The
anxiety and excitement proved fatal to
Mrs. Brockman, who took a severe cold,
and died eventually of brain fever.
Grace Vernon Bussel still lives.

TIE GREAT EARTHQUAKE.
Expertenee of a stcn,nl,ont cnn1nIn.

Experience of Il Steamboat Captain
Capt Charles Mclean, of the
steamer Geneva, sunk at Hugunillos
in the great earthquake on the
Pacific coast, on the 10Th inst, re-
Gently arrived at New York, and
tells the story of his experiences. He
says, though apparently safely anchored
his ship became entaDgled with others
near as they tossed wildly about crush
ing against each other, sinking almost
Immediately in fifteen fathOms of water
On the first alarm he came up from be-
tween the decks. 1t was about eight and
a half pm. There had been several
shocks in the previous twenty DAYS, but
he had completed his cargo of guanO and
was expecting to sail next morning
Aside from the frightful rumbling sound
his attention was arrested by the extra
ordinary phenomena on shore, the noun
tains above being so much agitated that
great rocks become detached and rolled
down toward the sea, resembling balls of
fire. Furthermore, the water at the an
chOrage suddenly Teceded so that the
ships in eight tathOms touched bottom.
At the same time it was observed that
the ships were surging round and round
and in opposite directions, and the an
the copper yards and interlocking, while
the air resOUnded with falling spars and
crash of the bUlwarks. The water came
surging in like a maelstrOm. causing the
Geneva to swing round at the rate of
eight or ten fathOms an hour in great cir
Cles until she struck against rock, which
tore out part Of her bottom. The ship
was forced in an opposite direction and
went down. The other vessel were as
violently driven ashore OF went to the
bottom, as in the case of the English
ship AvOnmOre, Capt. Garfield, which
took down with her the captains wife,
three children and several others. Capt.
Mclean says it seemed to him from the
sulphurOus or electrical appearance of
the mountain that the volcano was burst
ing out its sides. The rocks were tumb-
ling about with frightful noise. and
everything was lighted up. He thinks
the damage to shipping was caused not
SO much by the tidal wave as the upward
rush of the water and rotary currents
driving the ships repeatedly against each
other

4 cOtempOrary thus strikes the key
note, and reaches the truth of this mat
ter in the following: Nothing presents
a sadder commentary upon the present
condition of society than the large mum
Der of families, both in town and cOun-
try, but more especially tn latter, that
subscribe to no paper Of any kind.
Hundreds and thousands of families are
thus growing up utterly ignorant of what
is transpiring in the world around them
ignorant Of the mighty events of the
day. But who can tell the vast amount
of injury that Is being inflicted on the
rising geueration-those who are TO take
our place in the busy world at no distant
day--gIowing up without any knowledge
of the present, or any study Of the past,
this ignorance, too, being imbued into
them by the sanction of those who should,
and doubtless do, know better, did they
only think of the injurious effect of their
insane course. Let the head Of every
family think Of this, and place in the
hands of those for whom he Is RESPONSE
bic the means Of acquiring some knOwl-
edge Of the moving panorama IN which
we act our different parts.

Railway Building in 1877.

The Railroad Gazette publishes some
valuable statistics of railroad cOnstruc-
ton for the first five months of this year,
with very sensible comments thereon.
Taking the period referred to for each of
the last five years, which includes the
panic of 1873, we find that the total con
struCtiOn was smaller this year than in
any except 1875, being 1913 miles, against
542 miles last year, and 26O miles in 1873.
In 1873 it WAS 918 miles. OF the total
mileage,sO far constructed, q per cent. is
narrow gauge, and Is, of course, intended
only for local use or as feeders to the
main roads. Fifty-fOur per cent. Of the
increase was in the two states of Texas
and California, while Ohio-Chiefly in
narrow gauge rOads-was next. The
Gazette points out that there Is now very
little work remaining to be done on
long roads, and that we may look forward
to q comparatively small rate of increased
mileage for some time to come, and it
adds that this is "a return to something
like normal activity in railroad CON
struction, not a retTOgressiOn to Un-
healthy stagnation.
