When the Queen entered she took the

the other side Of the bed was the Princess
Alice, while at its foot knelt the Prince
of Wales and the Princess Helena. Not

Ernest Leiningen, the physicians and

Hon. Robert Bruce knelt opposite the
Queen, and the Dean of Windsor, Sir

In the solemn hush Of that nlournful

rarely hallowed the deathbed. A great
light, which had blessed the world, and
which the nlourners had but yesterday

a master, endeared by every quality b,
which man in such relations can win the
love of his fellow-rnan, was passing into
the silent land, and his loving glance

thought, should be known among them
no more.
The castle clock chimed the third quar-
ter after ten. Calm and peaeeful grew
the beloved form, the features settlet
into the beauty Of a perfectly serene re

Sarah Bernhardt's sister.


Mile. Jeanne Bernhardt, sister of the
blonde Sarah, has reappeared on the
Partisan stage after long absence. She
made her debut at the Porte-Saint- Mar
tin, after having studied dancing under
the famous Nine. Dominique. In 1867,
the year Of the Exhibition Jeanne, who
had until then been as sage as Jeanne
Samary, listened to the passionate appeal
of noble stranger, who left her an ire
parable pledge Of his love. Jeanne then
passed throug gh series of romantic ad-
ventures, and one day, disappointed at
the obstinacy Of a handsome man,
s'beau brun," who remained insensible to
her charms, she tried to kill herself, but
only succeeded in spelling a nice dress
and staining her linen with few drops
of blood. This little drama, however,
produced It's effect, and the handsome
man in question allowed himself to be
conquered. Jeanne sosn grew tired Of
him and left him in the lurch. There
was no end to her caprices. Suddenly
she had At Of virtue; vert to live on q

day, when, eaten up with spleen, she
determined to resume her dramatic
career, and 50 she is now playing in

CapsiZed by q Whale.
Elizabeth City IN. C.) Letter ]

lE>Aznpcui wy wv VI A1oS1Oi'J
The whalers camped at the south end
of Hatteras woods saw couple of
whales close into the shore one day
lately, and put out in their boats and
fastened on to enc of them. After an
exciting chase of about two hours, dur
ing which they were unable to get near
enough to the whale to kill him, the
other whale rose under the boat and
tossed it into the air, smashing it and
capsizing the boats crew into the water.
They were soon picked up by another
boat and again fastened to the whale,
but night coming on they were obliged
to cut their line and let him 60, he
having towed them out near the outer
end Of Hatteras shoals. So far they
have been unable to capture any whales
this season, but hope to do better be-
tween now and the 10th Of April, wher
they break camp. t.HEs.-

FERN TREE GULLY.
One of the Three Noted Places ila
ec Australia.

One of the Three Noted Places iia
| e2 Australia.
The following is an extract from re-
cent private letter from Melbourne:
The suburbs Of Melbourne are beauti-
full. They are one continued flower gar
den and fernery. The villas are small,
but very tastefully designed. The roads
are maeadamized, and the best l ever
saw, No business is done after IL
o'clock Saturday. Merchants and me-
chanics all go to the boat or horse races,
cricket matches and plcnies from Satur-
day noon till Monday morning. Bust
ness begins at 3 o'clock and closes at 6
o'clock. The Lagoon in Albert Park is
alive with sail boats.
On Saturday went to Fern Tree Gull
ly, twenty-five miles from here. 1t is
one Of three noted places in Australia.
The fern grows on trees from five to
twenty feet in height, and a foot in
diameter, in this gully in the side Of q
mountain. They don't grow in entangled
masses, but each tree has room enough.
The ferns are ten or more feet in length,
and each tree takes up twenty feet in
diameter. The drive is through ten
miles of suburban Melbourne, then fif-
teen miles through the country, where
vegetables are raised. Our "trap" con-
tains five persons, drawn by two tough
ponies.
Our host drives us to his farm at the
foot of the gully brook. We drive
through open fields and gum-tree forests;
and hedges of acacia line the road, with
here and there hawthorne. Arriving at
our destination we take a lunch, and
then walk seven miles over the noun
tain to visit breeding farm. Here is a
paddock where there are sixty mares and
their colts-the mothers being the most
famous racers and steeple ehasers in the
Colonies. The animals were very tame
and gentle, and it was beautiful sight.
At o'clock in the evening we arrived
back at the farm, with good appetites
and tired, after a ride Of twenty-five
miles and a walk of fourteen. The
people here think little of tramp ike
this to see friend.
The gully is swift-running stream Of
crystal ice-cold water, bounding over
moss-covered stones and stumps Of ferns
and gums. The fern trees and the
scenes here are too beautiful to describe.
You have seen the ideal picture of para
disc, or the fanciful imagination of a
scenic artist in "Black Crook" You
find it all here in Fern Tree Gully,
where white cockatoo parrots and mag
pies fly about in. the trees giving life
and tone to the lovely scene, and oeca-
sionally little lizard crawls over your
foot, for variety.
We.struggle up the pathways q thou
sand feet above the gully, and here we
find a plateau covered with fine grass;
and here is grand view of the country.
In the valley horses and cows are graz
ing farm-houses scattered, abeut.. and
away in the distance Hobsen's bay ap-
pears, We do not go down the'same
way we came up. It took us two hours
to getup and an hour to- descend, by a
patti three miles in length. The aroma
Of the gum trees did me world Of
good, and l shall not soon forget. my ride
to Fern Tree Gllly.

How Napoleon Made One Woman
, Happy.
[Mme. Remusat's, Memoirs!

During the Enperor's stay at Berlin.
the Prince Of HATFIELD. who had re-
mained there, and who, said the bulie-
tins, chad accepted the post Of Cover
nor" kept up a secret correspondence
with the King of Prussia, in which he
gave full accounts of the movements of
our army. One Of his letters was inter-
cepted, and the Emperor gave orders for
his arrest and trial before military
court. His wife, who was with child,
was in despair; she obtained an audience
of the Emperor, and threw herself at his
feet. %He showed her the Princes letter,
and when the poor young wife gave way
to her sorrow, the Emperor, moved with
pity, bade her rise, and said TO her:
"You have the original document, on
which your husband may be condemned,
in your own hand. Take nay advice,
profit by this moment to burn it, and
then there will be no evidence to con-
demn him." The Princess, without a
moments delay, threw the paper into
the fire, and bathed the Emperor's hands
with her tears. This anecdote made a
greater impression on Paris than all our
victories,

An Old Dutch Funeral Mt Catskill.
Henry Brace in Harpers for May,1

Until within a few weeks past, one
man, Mr., John Van Vechten, Of Catskill,
was living, who remembered the funeral
of Domino Schuneman. The ceremony
was in accordance with the customs
which the Dutch, one hundred and sew
enty years before, had brought with them
from the mother country. A man, es-
pecially deputed for the purpose, met
each male conner at the door, and offered
him a glass Of rum from a flask. A wo-
man waited in like manner upon each
female conner. The relatives Of the dead
sat together around the corpse. The
friends and acquaintances took their seats
in another part Of the room, or in an ad-
joining chamber. When the services
were over-these were in Dutch-they
who chose went UP to the coffin to take
their Last look at the deceased. The
coffin was then closed, put upon bier,
and taken from the house to the grave,
the relatives following, and after them
all eomers. When the coffin had been
laid on the ground, the procession re-
turned to the house, but in inverse order
the relatives and the empty bier and
its bearers coming last. One room in the
house was assigned to the bearers, anoth-
er to the assembled people. I'm each of
the rooms table had been set with bot
ties of rum, . jar of tobacco, and long
clay pipes. All the men drank and
smoked, talking in the meanwhile of the
81, ,,,l rc %l,o:. lool
tor, of their horses, Of the spring plant
ing, and of the weather. One or two Of
the lower sort got tipsy, and amused
themselves by singing funeral ditties out
of doors.

American ladies In Paris have recently

American ladies In Paris have recently
been the victims of thieves, who have
broken into their lodgings and stolen
their fnery. A short time ago the police
were informed that two well-dressed
young men, residing in furnished lOdg-
ings In the Rue SaihtLasare under the
maine Of Valevte, were in the habit of SELL
ing articles of lady's dress at the second
hand shops. They we're watched and ar
rested while in the act Of offering such
things for sole. A search at theif rooms
led to the discovery Of four trunks filled
with linen, rich dresses, valuable jewels,
'etc. The police discovered that the most
valuable belonged to Mrs, Stevens, q
wealthy American lady, and had been
taken from her room in one OF the hotels

ions become fixed upon the stage This
distinguished actor, while playing Poly
eucte" at the Odeon, had one night such
a bad cold that he took with him a COM
forter of the most fame-eolored hue to
put round his neck between the acts.
Unfortunately, the conversation behind
the scenes was very lively, and, nearly
missing bis cue, Beauvaliet rushed ON
the stage without removing his comfort
er. There was at first moment of stu
