London, 17.-All the ministers are in
town; also all liberal leaders, except Glad
stone, who is at Hawardiu, where John
Bright is visiting him. Speculation is
rife as to the composition ofthe new min

SITUATIONS among liberals. The general
is that the Gladstone PREMIER
ship is inevitable, unless he should refuse
office. The position and influence of
advanced liberals, as distinguished from
moderstes or wings, seems likely to be
very strong.

Origin of the Postage Stamp.

Quite an interesting and curious
story is connected with the origin OF
the postage stamp. One day girl
came forth from All inn located in the
northern part of England, and received
from the postman letter, which she
turned over in her hand as she inquired
the price of the postage. The man
asked shilling, sum too large for one
so poor as herself to pay, and so she re-
turn ed the letter to the postman with
sadness, although she knew that her
brother had sent it. But sympathetic
traveller named Rowland hill stood
near, and at this moment interposed
and insisted on paying the shilling HIM
self, although the girl seemed strongly
averse to his doing so. When the post
man had departed, the klnd-hearted
Mr.. Hill was surprised TO find that
there was no need for his pity; for the
envelope. the young girl explained to
him contained no written communica-
ton, but on its outside were certain
marks agreed upon by herself and BROTH
er, from which. as she held the letter In
her hands, she gathered all the informa-
ton she desired. We are so poor" she
continued, "that we invented this mode
of correspondence without paying for
our letters.
Such duphcitY set Mr.. Hill thinking
that a postal system which melted peo-
pie to commit petty fraud must be very
defective. He argued that # the price
of postage was lowered from an ex-
orbitant rate to one that came easily
within the means of the mass of the
people, so many more letters would

Various statements, more or less err

nervous prostration. Over work and

to which he has been accustomed, are

who are around him assert that his

expressive phrase, he is worried to
death" and his nervous temperam ent

wear and tear of the position which is
made for him. His medical advisers are

fain chain him to the stake, nave hith-

Mrs. Enright has been put out of her
house in Philadelphia. The elevated
railway company had beaten her in the
courts, and received authority to pull
down her house. She determined to
assert her rights as an American woman
and property owner. She refused to
move her household goods, and defied
the contractor and his men. She would
not allow the men to enter by the front
door, so they were forced to mount to
the roof by the next house. They
knocked down the chimney, tore down
the roof, and cleared the way to the front
room on the third story, which was oc-
cupied by Mrs. Enright and her daugh-
ter. This was the first days work, and
the woman sat in her rockingham
from morn to eve, looking grim and
very mad; but she would not bulge.
The next day work was resumed, and
by noon the third story was cleared
away. After dinner the men battered
down the front door, tore out the win
do~ -sashes, and reduced the woodwork
on the first floor to bare walls. Mean
while Mrs. EnriRut and her daughter
sat in their rocking chairs on the second
floor front, and held the fort. The sec
ond floor, back, was then invaded, and
the kitchen utensils and other furniture
were piled out OH the sidewalk. But
the garrison still held out, faithful unto
death. The second floor, front, was
next attacked: the rear platform was de-
molished, the flooring above was re-
moved, and the front walls was toppled
over brick upon brick. But the women
would not surrender. Mrs. Earight sat
in her rocking. char, knitting at the
at the rate of forty stockings an hour
and receiving the moral support Of her
daughter and their sympathetic neigh
bors. The fight was watched with IN
terest from the street, and the garrison
was loudly cheered by the bystanders.
But the enemy was ruthless. The
stove. the bedstead, the table, and the
trunks were carried into the streets.
The walls and ceiling were down. There
was nothing on the second floor but the
five chairs and their contents. Mrs En-
right was asked to take herself off. She
would not budge,-no neverlnor man nor
brute should put her out The work
meu began to tear up the floor. Then
the garrison gave in. Mrs. Enright re-
treated with her friends to the stairwey
and looked for dray. She spoke not a
word. She had done what she could.
She was cru,hed.

The Empress Eugenie left South

la. As she passed along the wbarves all
present uncovered, and the Empress
courteously bowling her acknowledge

these attentions. The Alexandra at
once left the docks, and was followed
by the steamer Sovereign, taking the
ordinary passengers and their impedi-
ments. Three large cabins on the port
side have been set apart and specially
prpared for the En- press use. The
first opens from the main saloon, and
forms a private boulder, elegantly fur

Japanese satin of light green relieved
by borders of the same material OF a
darker hue, with a cornice pricked out
with gilt studs. Beyond this is the
sleeping apartment, in which are beds
for the Empress and her maid, and this
opens into q lavatory and bathroom.
The main fittings are of mahogany,
maple, rosewood and electro. silver. The
Empress on arriving on board went at
once to her cabin, and having partaken
of light luncheon was joined by her
friends, her leave takings being of
most afiectionate kind. She gave to NJ.

autograph, signed IN presence. The

Capture of Another Great Whale
PROVIDENCE (R. ~ journal.


A whale, with the assistance of a
steam tug, has made this port, and now
lies on Hills wharf. She is a fin-back
whale, eighty feet in length, with an
estimated weight of one hundred tons
She drifted into Provincctown harbor
last Thursday, and when between Truro
and Long Point, was overtaken by
whalemen, captured, and slain by means
of bomb, lance. The fn-hack whale
is swift runner, but not great oiler.
Until the bomb-lance, which is fired
from a gun, and explodes in the flesh Of
the whale, was invented, this species oil
whale was not sought after To use a
whalesman's expression, from Provin-
cetown by the steam-tug Winch, of Bos-
ton, and the whole expense-whale tow
age and cost of getting into present
situation is said to be about 81, 200. To
draw her whaleship out upon dry land
required twenty EIGHT of Mr.. Viewers
horses. The whale is exhibited under
tent, and Capt. Dyer, an old whale
man, makes whatever explanation the
visitors require. 1t is estimated that
the blubber of this whale will produce
forty barrels of oil, to which production
the carcass will be devoted, sooner or
later, according to the temperature. If
the cold weather continues, the body will
emit little odor for a week or more.
Prof Jencks, of the university. wishes
to add this specimen, or its skeleton, to
his collection, and it is reported that he
will attempt to raise, by subscription,
money enough to bny it. The whale
will remain on exhibition so long as the
weather will permit. This is not the
whale exhibited in New York; that one
was male; this a female. A large
number of persons visited the tent yes
terday. One person remarked, point
ing to the back-fn: 81 suppose that is
his ear" And another, looking at the
monsters mouth, the jaws of which are
ten or twelve feet long, was of the opin-
ion that John had no difficulty in going
in.

An Insane ex-MissiOnary.

William Schorsch, who recently told
a curious story about his treatment by
the Presbyterian board of foreign mis-
sions, was brought before the police
court in New York, Wednesday,
charged with insanity, and the magis-
trate committed him for medical exam
nation. He was formerly a Presby-
terrain missionary in Africa. He was
ordained in 1873, and has spent about
four years in Africa. In
1879h was dropped from the rolls by
the general assembly, and since then,
it seems, he has become demented.
He created a great disturbance in the
prison when taken there, singing
nemns in loud voice, bowling in pray
er, and acting stragely in other respects.
Drs. Hardy and jackson declared him
insane. He has been annoying prom
inent Presbyterian clergymen, and is OF
the opinion that he has a CLAIM on the
board of foreign missions for support.
He thinks that there is conspiracy
against him, but that the Emperor Will
liam is interested IN his behalf and
designs sending a gunboat to lombard
New York if his claims for salary since
1878 are not recognized. He was trans
ferred to the state board of charities.

DIR. G.. III. THOMAS, of Philadelphia,
has been making a study of the various
new devices for helping the deaf to
hear. All of then, he says, depend
for their action upon the principle OF
acoustics that solids vIbrate IN unison
with the sound waves produced in the
air near them. In these instruments
the vibrations are Of sufficient force to
be audible when conveyed to the inter
nal ear through the medium OF the
teeth and cranial bones, independently
Of the ordinary channel of hearing.
He says that simple and excellent IN
strument for the purpose consists
| simply of rod OF hard wood about two
| feet long and quarter OF an inch thick,
one end of which is placed against the
teeth Of the speaker, the other resting
against or between the teeth of the per
| son hard of hearing. II the speaker
articulates in a natural tone Of voice,
the vocal vibrations will be transmitted
in great volume through the teeth and
thence to the ears of the deaf person,
| II viii also convey the voice distinctly
when placed against the forehead or
| other portions of the skull Of the hear
er. 1t will also convey audible speech
from the skull Clone to that Of the 9TH
er, or such sounds may be conveyed by
simply bringing the heads themselves
in contact. Again, instead of the
speaker holding it against his teeth he
may place it against the upper part OF
bis chest, when, upon using his voice.
the sound will be conveyed as before, of
course independently of the teeth OF
either person"
