Mrs. sprague- Her Appearance.

Washington Cor. Philadelphia Times.
r. Mrs. Sprague is By no means the beauti-
ful woman that she used TO be. She must
now not be far from forty-fiye years Of age,
although. she looks much younger. She is
medium heighth-say five feet four or five
inches-and Of very regular features. Her
hair Is q dark auburn. waves q little, and
is abundant. Her complexion is, of course.
fair, and her eyes are dark. Her mouth is
pretty and full of white, regular teeth.
She used to be rather thin, but her age is
filing her up little. Her weight I should
think about one hundred and forty. Her
hands are very symmetrical, and in public
are always encased in white kids, faultless
in make and fit-about six buttons. She
was always neatly, scrapulously and richly
attired. When she was at the head of the
Sprague mansion, corner Of e and Sixth
streets, there was not in the whole city
woman SO handsome, and she lived in the
most elegant and fashionable manner. Her
father was Chief Justice, her husband
Senator in Congress, and counted the
richest man in either body, and she had
young, unmarried sister. Her house, a
large double brick building, now used as
boarding house, was luxuriantly furnished.
and she had horses and carriages and liver
led servants in confusing array. When
she went to the theater, which was rare, no
no queen ever created more Of a sensation.
Her toilets were the envy of the town, and
her beauty and her manner drove both Ia
dies and gentlemen, though from different
motives, wild. Her father and sister re-
side with her. Her sister, pleasant little
body With turned mp nose, was, believe,
married from the Sixth street houss. q
= It9is2 q. mistake to suppose that Mrs.
Sprague has ever hold ) leading place in
soclety here. As the daughter of an hon.
ored Chief Justice, the wife of an ex-Gov-
erhor, Senator and millionaire, and the
pcssessor of unusual mental and ph hysical
Attractions, she was admitted and went
largely into society, but, except with gen.
tiemen, was never fayorite, and by many
was regarded with something akin to aver
sion and dlstrust. Her surroundings were
such as to forbid anything like slight be-
ing offered her; but there is no question of
the fact that her position here has always
been regarded in certain set, at least, as
not an assured one. 1t is said that the dis
like Of Mrs. s. to her husband was first
made manifest at the time of the terribly
absurd fiasco he made in addressing the
Senate some years since, in speech pre-
pared By the notorious Pet Halstead. She
was present at the time and is said to have
been highly indignant at his failure, and to
have expressed her disgust in no measured
terms. The wound then created has never
since been healed. gt bas isF #a

Another Wonderful Clock.

Feleix Meir, a Bavarian mechanic at De-
troit, Mich, has built clock which rs said
to surpass the famous Strasburg timepiece.
It stands in an elaborately carved walnut
case, eighteen feet high and seven or eight
broad, and has q dial which represents the
entire planetary system, from the signs of
the zodiac to the correct position of the
earth toward the sun in the different sea-
sons, and the revolutions of all the planets
about the sun as their respective distances
and times. Separate dials also give the
correct time at New York. London, st. Pc
tersburg, San Francisco and all the leading
cities of the world. The big dial is sup
ported by statnettes of William Cullen
Bryant and Professor Morse, and the case
is surmeunted by a bronze figure of Colum-
bus. In carved inches at each corner of
the dial stands q baby, a youth, a middle
aged man and an old man, and the skeleton
figure of death. The baby strikes the
quarter hour on a tinkling bell, the boy the
half hour on clear toned bell, the strong
man the three quarter hour on full toned
bell with hammer, while the graybeard
strikes weaker bell, and then death tolls
the full hour; When the kueIl Of the hour
is gone lively national air strikes up and

The hills above Granada, on which stands
the famous palace of the ancient Moorish
Kings Of Spain, has recently given signs
of sliding away, so that this splendid mon
ument of a memorable epoch in the history
Of Europe, made dear by Washington Ir-
wing to the hearts of all his readers, ls i'm
danger of ruin. and downfall even more
complete than war, earthquakes and time
have already produced. On the authority
of the Leadad newspaper of Madrid, it is
stated. that the soil has already begun to
slip away In masses and threatens to break
into pieces, destroying the Alhambra with
itself. 1t is further said that the Alcabaya,
a spacious and splendid structure at the
foot of the hill, which was formerly the
residence of the Moorish nobility, is IN dam
ger Of destruction from the same causes.
The Alhambra, which is commonly assign
ed second place among ruins in Europe,
the Colosseum at Rome being first and
Heidelberg Castle third, was erected at va
rious dates, chiefly bet wesn 1246 and 1854.
and was occupied by the Moors until their
expulsion from Spain In 1902. It was for
titled in the strongest manner known to the
period. The wall is more than. mile in
circuit; it is fanked by thirteen square
towers incloses thirty-ave acres, and is
capable of holding forty thousand men.
The exterior of the fortress is not beautiful
to look upon, except in its picturesqueness
% seen from distance among the noble
woods that surround it; but the interior
halls and the decorations stand unrivaled
among palaces for their splendor and their
exquisite and costly beauty. In 1885,. .Isa-
bella, then Queen of Spain, gave directions
for the restoration of the palace to it's an
Gent condition, and while the work was
carried on viger and care for some time,
the sums of money devoted to it have not
been sufficient to complete the work in a
manner. ai a@ Aga45 7tf
