Gen. SickIes' Daughter.

The elopement OF Miss Carrie Slckles.
daughter OF Gen. Daniel E. Sickles,
from Paris, with Southerner named
cCarthy, has been given the public by
cable dispatches. Gen. Sickles pur-
sued the pair to London, where he had
them arrested. The young lady is about
twenty-five years of age, and is very ac-
complished. She has superb figure
and charming manners.
The writer of this, while in Baltimore
several years ego, was told story about
Miss Sickles by school friend of hers,
which is full of pathetic interest just
now. A little party had been given at
the house of lady in Baltimore, where
the writer met Miss Sickles, and was
struck by her quick witted repartees
and her readiness to chat about current
topics of interest. Meeting school
mate of hers next day, the writer
alluded to this. "Oh, yes," was the
reply; "ske was gay enough then, poor
child, but think she is almost broken
hearted Notwithstanding her vivacity." :"
A few questions brought out the whole
sad story. Gen. Sickles' first wife, the
neither of his daughter, as will be re-
membered, was connected in the famous
scanda: with Philip Barton Key, the
district attorney at Washington, d. c..
Slckles shot Key in 1859, and killed him,
was tried for his murder and was ac-
quilted. His wife died shortly after
and before her daughter was old enough
To understand the disgrace Of it all. Gen.
,Sickles. with jealous watchfulness,
kept the facts connected with, her
mothers share in the tragedy a secret
from his daughter, and she knew moth
ing about it until she was nearly nine
teen. She was a sensitive, loving girl,
and worshipped the memory OF the
mother whom she had been taught to
love, and she frequently spoke of her 10
her friends. Miss Sickles went to q
school in Baltimore, and one day while
reciting in class she had slight
quarrel with girl from Washington.
After school number of girls were
seated together, among them being Miss
Sickles and the girl with whom she had
quarreled. Miss Sickles apologized for
what she had said, but the other girl
refused to be comforted, and finally
grew very angry and began to taunt
Miss Sickles about the terrible story OF
her mothers wrong-doing. Miss Sickles
demanded an explanation, which was
given, and the poor young lady almost
lost her reason in the attack OF illness
which followed.
She left the schoolwhen she recovered
her health, and soon afterward Joined
her father. It WIS said she acted very.
wildly toward him for keeping the
story hidden from her, and reproached
him bitterly. The effect of the revela-
ton was that Miss Sickles' manner and
actions changed from what they had
been before, and she began to worry
her father by her apparent heartlessness
and fondness for the excitement con-
nected with the life of a belle in an
American city like Washington. e.

Ex-Minister Washburne's latest pub

Ex-Minister Washburne's latest pub
lie appearance was as defender of mule
meat. During the days of the commune,
he said, "for months there was no meat
in Paris but horse meat and mule meat.
I never ate horse, but I confess to have
partaken freely of the mule, and I will
say to the credit of that much-abused
animal, that I found him quite goo d
many animals he had assisted to devour

best ofiall. The stories of people eating
cats. rats and dogs and other apimalsin

In France locomotives are used on
canal tow-paths in place of mules.
They make much better time than the
mules; but, unlike the mule, there is
always the danger that the locomotive
may explode.

According to the investigations Of
Russian professor, DR.. Monassein, sing
ing is an excellent means of preventing
consumption, and for the development
and strengthening of the chest it is more
efectual than even gymnastic exercise.
The professor has examined 22O singers
varying in age from nine to fifty. three
years, and found that the chest is greater
and stror ger among them than among
persons of any other occupation.

Through TO the Pacific.
Boston Herald, Oct. g.

Boston Herald, oct. i.
1t IS now determined fact that
q railroad line is to enter Mexico
from the United States, and the
new line is essentially a Boston en-
terprise. 1t is to be practically an
extension of the Atchison, Topeka
& Santa Fe road from a point on
its present line to the port of Quay
mas, on the Gulf of California. A
road some four hundred miles in
length is to be built in Mexican
territory through the valley of So
nora, and along the proposed route
large concessions of land have
been made by the Mexican Gov
ornment. The intended terminus,
Guaymas, is situated on the east
ern side of the gulf, about midway
of its length from north to south.
1t stands at the mouth of q cousld-
cradle river, and its harbor is one
of the best on the west coast of
Mexico, but the town has only q
small population. Heavy capital
lists and experienced railroad men
compose the corporation. which was
organized in this city on Tuesday,
most of them living in Boston or
vicinity. Organization is made
under bill which was introduced
into the Legislature at the last ses-
sion, as was explained at the time,
for the purpose of promoting this en-
terprise, as the concession has been
already guaranteed by the Mexi-
can government, but, to cover SIM
liar cases which might occur here
after, the law was made general
and not special. The bill was
drawn by Mr.. George o. Shattuck,
as was stated at the time, and was
introduced by Mr.. Osgood of Sa-
lem, March Goth, under suspen-
sion of the rules, it being too late,
according to the rules, to bring in
new business. The bill went to the
Railroad Committee and remained
there eleven days, when the COM
mittee reported that it ought to
pass in a new draft, and it went
through both Houses in the new
draft without opposition. Hon.
Levi C.Wade, who was the speaker
OF the House, was not in the chair
at the time the bill passed, nor was
he then in any manner interested
in the project. He has, however,
since taken an active part in the
enterprise, and is to leave for Mex
leo almost Immediately in its in
terests. He is now the Vice-Presi-
dent of the company, and Mr.. Ben
jamin p. Cheney is the President.
An effort was made to induce the
projectors to incorporate under the
laws of Pennsylvania, but they pre-
ferred that their enterprise should
be o Massachusetts affair, and SO
the State will be the gamer to the
amount of several thousand dollars
annually in taxes.
The same paper says, under the
head of "Personal intelligence"
Hou. Levi G. Wade has cancelled
his election engag ements aud is
soon to go to Mexico in the interest
of the Atohison, Topeka and Santa
Fe Railroad Corporation.

1t has ever been predicated by
scientists (?) that because colors
could never be reproduced by the
process of photography that it had
no objective existence, and that
it was all sensation as produced by
the refrangibility of light-that the
refracted rays striking against the
retina were communicated by the
optic nerve to the brain, and that
the rapidity with which these wave
rays struck the the retina produced
the sensation known to us as red,
blue, etc. Those, however, who de-
sire to see old ideas exploded and
new truths demonstrated should
call at No. s Also street, the
largest dyeing establishment in the
city, and witness the operations of
Marteen as he segregates the COM
ponent parts Of each sunbeam and
transmits them in various shades.
