1t was while strolling over the es-
tates in the mountains near Avila, with
his young wife, on the 18th ult., that
the Duke Of Medina Cell, the premier
noble and grandee Of Srain, accident
ly stumbled over his gun, receiving
the contents of both barrels in the
body, aud was mortally wounded. He
waited for help, leaning on the duchess
until succor came, but, despite the
assistance Of the local surgeon and of
eminent army surgeons sent immedi-
ately from Madrid by special train,
the duke expired about six o'clock
am. the next day. He remained con-
scious until the last moment. re-
ceived the rites of the church and con
soled those around him. The duke
was only twenty-eisht years of age.
He was married twice, his first mar
riage being with the daughter of the
Duchess of Alba ,anieee ofthe Empress
Eugene, He was married again last
year to the daughter of the Marquis
Torecilla. His unhappy fate caused
a great impression in Madrid, the king
expressing his sympathy with the
widow, who is only nineteen years old.
The funeral took place from the Me-
dina Cell Palace, in Madrid. The
dukes of Medina Cell represent the
ancient race of La Cerda and the royal
line of Sancho the Brave. They were
always asked to wave their title to the
crown before every coronation. One
of them persisted in the great Armada.

DR.. John Dixwell, of Boston. who
was one ofthe physicians that made a
post norton examination Of William
Bagley, the pupil who died at Maiden
after the infection of corporal punish
ment by. his teacher, made some i'm
portant statements in his testimony at
the inquest. The doctor was asked
whether or not six blows from a rattan
on either hand would be excessive.
He replied that it would not be ex-
cessiye for a school pupil Gunder the
existing SYSTEM, but in certain cases
1t might not be safe, The doctor con
siders this case interesting, because ii
may lead to a decision concerning the
discretionary power Ofinhicting cor.
poral punishment now exercised by
school masters, He thinks that no
teacher is competent to decide when
corporal punishment is safe without
special knowledge OF medical subjects,
and that such knowledge is not pos
sessed by the average public school
teacher.

Who Are Guests of a Hotel2

u Mai. Gen. Winfield S. Hancock went,
with his family, in November, 1873, to
live at the ST. Cloud Hotel, having made
special agreement with It's proprietors
as to the price he was to pay for rooms
and food. One night in March, 1874.
while he and his family were at thea
ter. thief entered his apartments and
stole large amount of iewelry belong
ing to himself, his wife and daughter.
The Messrs. Rand, who kept the hotel
refused to make good his loss. He be-
gan two suits. against them, one indi-
vidually, and one as administrator of his
daughter, who had died in the mean
time Mrs. Alrnira Hancock, his wife,
began suit on her own account to re-
cover 50, 952 as the value of the Jewels
lost by her. The causes were tried be-
fore Mr.. Horatio T. Averill, as referee,
who reported that the relations of inn
keeper and guest did not exist between
the plaintiffs and defendants. This re.
port being confirmed by the court, it
was appealed from by the plaintiffs.
The general term of the Supreme Court
yesterday, rendered a decision in the
case of Mrs. Hancock, reversing that of
the referee. The opinion, which was
written by Judge ingalls,, is very long,
and discusses almost every phase of the
relation of q hotel guest to a hotel
keeper. Its gist lies in the declaration
that person who makes q special agree
ment with hotel proprietor by which,
n consideration Of remaining certain
period at the hotel, he obtains special
or reduced rates, is not thereby made
an ordinary boarder and deprived Of the
privileges and protection Of guest. q

BoYtOn's Perils,

Capt. Paul Boyton, who is engaged
in making the long swim from Pitts
burgh to New Orleans, clad in his
life-saving suit, came within an ace OF
losing his life at Louisville. In what
way, is thus related by local paper.
The weather was bad, a mist and fog
prevailing. Two boat-loads of people
went up the river to meet the aquatic
hero, and, upon sighting him, the pilot
in charge Of the two steamers, which
were dashed together, misunderstanding
orders, or orders being enormously given
(the latter, probably, almost run him
down. Back her! back her screamed

motion as the water was being stirred
up by the wheels sucked him into dan
ger. The living foater used his paddle
with might and vim. The suction was
terrific. He moved toward the wheel
house. Back her!" yelled Boyton.
" I'm gone if We don't. say back her!
Gradually Boyton was drawn near the
wheel-house, The great crowd was as
quiet as the grave, and it was only It's
silence that allowed the cry "Back
her!" to be understood. AT a moment
when Boyton seemed certain to go UNI
der the two boats backed. There was a
cheer of eongratulation and relief.
Once safe and in proper position, he
was presented with the flag of all ma

AN extraordinary story is told con-
corning the late ruler of Afghanistan
1t is said that the individual who has
been buried under the name Of Shere
Ali is not the Ameer at all. Shere Ali
is not within that tomb. This story
comes from st, Petersburg. Shere Ais
death was wanted, and it was brought
about, or at least an event was which
was supposed to be that. The story
goes on to say that the real Ameer is at
the present moment confined in one Of
the very deepest mines of Siberia under
the name of Paul Yolowski, a criminal
lunatic, who Charters gibberish and fan
cies he is the Ameer of Afghanistan.

SERIOUS complaint is made in New
York city that correspondence from
this country to persons in Germany is
intercepted by the German authorities
and prevented from reaching its desti-
nation. Mr.. John Swinton, a we'll
known author, journalist and Commun-
list, residing in New York, suspecting
that his letters were tempered with, in
stituted series of decoys in order to
establish the truth of his suspicious. OF
twenty marked letters sent to parties
in Germany Gas decoys), three only were
delivered to the parties addressed. The
supposition is that the German police
open, read and suppress the letters for
political reasons.

great interest to the performance of the
coming horse. IF there is anything in
breeding, he will be wonderful. It was
not known whether the Maid would
breed or not, as she is % years old, but
when she was taken from the track a

The cornerstone of monument to
the Confederate dead was laid in Co
lumbia, S. c., recently, and among the
many articles placed in the cavity were
some leaves cut from the day-book Of
Hon. John Mckenzie, of date 1864,
showing the prices at which various ar
ticles sold at that time. Some of these
items are interesting; for instance, a
half-pound of candy was charged at
$40; seven oranges at $3.50; one
pound of hoarhound candy at $40; four
lemons at So; one dozen lady-fngers at
81; one-half pound of kisses at $18;

The census which is to be taken next
year will probably cost about "a, 900, 900.
Many of the Western States have grown
so rapidly during the last decade that it
is necessary to determine their present
population in order to secure for them
an adequate representation in Con-
gress. Nebraska, for instance, proba-
bly,. has to-day not far from 100000 in
habitants, and she sends only two mem
bers to Congress, while Tennessee, with
little more than three times that NUM-
Der of inhabitants, has ten members.
1t may also be mentioned concerning
Nebraska, that, while the average in
crease Of the whole country in popula-
ton, from 1870 to 1880, is not expected
to be over 22per cent, the increase in
that attractive commonwealth will, I'M
questionably, be upward of 200 per
cent. The population of New York
win be about 5000, 900, or within few
thousands Of the population Of the
United States in the first year Of the
present century.

The aged lady who passed from life
in Baltimore few days ago, Nine. Pat
terson Bonaparte, was the heroine of as
romantic a career as ever befeu an
American belle. Married at the age OF
IS to the youngest brother of the great
Napoleon, she left her elegant home in
Baltimore, and as the wife IF Jerome
Bonaparte became a brilliant member
of Paris society. This was twelve years
before the battle of Waterloo, her hus-
band holding at that time a position in
the army under his distinguished
brother. After Waterloo Nine. Patter-
son-Bonaparte attracted wide attention
in Paris from the most illustrious peo-
pie. Wellington admired her beauty,
Talleyrand complimented her, Nine. De
Stael called her lovely. She ever be-
ieved that her husband, or some one OF
her children, would become the ruler OF
France, but he died before that day.
The age of Madame Bonaparte at death
was over 96 years.

| THE INDIAN PROBLEM.
The message calls upon Congress
to organize some form of govern
ment over the Territory of Alaska,
and then summarizes the reports of
Cabinet officers. Treating of that
of the Secretary of the Interior on
Indian affairs, it recommends the
enactment of law "epabling the
Government to give Indians title
in fee, inaiienable- for twenty-five
years, to the farm lands assigned to
them by allotment and also repeat
the recommendation made in my
first annual message that o law be
passed admitting Indians who can
give satisfactory proof of having
by their own labor supported their
families for a number of years and
who are willing to detach them
selves from their tribal relations,
to the benefit of the Homestead
Act, and to grant them patents
containing the same provision of
inalienabilitvffor a certain period.
The message recommends that no
change be made in the control of
the Indian service.
THE SUPREME COURT.
The Message shows that the bus
mess of the Supreme Court is large.
ly in arrear, and that no assiduity
on the part of the Justices can ac.
complish more than is now done.
The remedy suggested by the At
torney-General is the appointment
of additional Circuit Judges, and
the creation of an intermediate
Court of errors and Appeals which
shall relieve the Supreme Court of
a part of It's jurisdiction, while a
larger force is also obtained for the
performance of circuit duties. The
President commands this sugges-
tion to the consideration of Con-
gress.
TIMBER LANDS ETC.
The message recommends that a
law be enacted enabling the Gov
ernment to sell timber from pub
lie lands without conveying fee
where such lands are principally
valuable for timber thereon, such
sales to be SO regulated as to con-
form to domestic wants aud busi-
ness requirements, while at the
same time it guards against the
sweeping destruction of forests.
The message also recommends an
increased appropriation for the De-
partment of Agriculture, the en-
of education, and a
provision for the National Library;
also recommends an appropriation |
for the completion of the WASH
ington monument, and the adop.
tion of generous policy towards
