Of barbaric splendor; the musician was
to make it memorable with noble con-
'certs. Before the castle had been fin

and, though he opened his purse widely
and labored to remove all causes of
trouble, he was impotent TO do SO, He
learned about the same time that the IT,

was worthless. The parties who hod
sold to him had no claim to it whatever,
and the legal owner came forward to as
sert his rights. Overwhelmed with per-
pleXities, and bankrupt in fortune, Bull
relinquished everything, returned hith-
er, and again had recourse to the violin,
which has been to him sort of Alad-
din's lamp. Deprived of its chief, the
colony gradually went to pieces, the coll
onists scattering far and wide. Scarce

Bergen, which Bull named after his Nor
wcgian birthplace. Almost the sole re-

One Mans Life.
THE THREAD UPoN WHICH THE DEMOCRAT
IC MAJORITY IN THE SENATE HANGS.
apsclnl 10 Cincinnati ENQUIRER

Senator Grover, Of Oregon, is danger
ously sick at Wilmington, Del. 1t Is re-
ported that he has suffered n shock Of
paralysis. The ndws Of his serious i'll
meas has excited considerable apprehen-
sion In Democratic circles here because
of the fact that the Oregon Legislature
Ia Republican, and would doubtless elect
Republican to flll his term, which does
not expire until 1883, and because the
loss Of another Democratic Senator
would endanger the Democratic suprem-
acy In the Senate after March A, 1881.
The Senate now stands forty-three DEM
ocrats and thirty-two Republicans,
counting David Davis as Democrat.
In 1881, the terms Of twenty-five Sena-
tors 70 out and eleven Republican Sem
ntors. Nine of the Democratic vacan-
clos will doubtless be filed with Demo-
Gratis, TO witt those elected or to be elect
cd by Delaware, Maryland, Virginia,
West Virginia, Florida, Indiana, Mis-
souri, Tennessee and Texas. In Ohio q
Republican has already been elected,
and Connecticut, New York, New Jcr-
sey and Pennsylvania will probably send
Republicans In the place of their four
Democrats now representing those five
Senators, and they will gain enc In Mis-
slssippi, where Democrat Is already
elected 10 succeed Bruce. Conceding
that Connecticut, New York, New Jer-
sey and Pennsylvania uacsnclcs to the
Republicans, the state will stand In 1881
thirty>nlnc Democrats and thirty-seven
Rcpublicans--countlng Davis as u DEM
ocrat; but II Senator Grover should die
and Republican be sent to flll his place,
the Senate would stand 3S Democrats,
and 80 Republicans, still counting Davis
as n Democrat, and counting Indiana a.
sure Democratic State. From this Il
may be seen how precarious hold the
Democrats have upon the United States
Senate, and how much anxiety is felt by
Democratic leaders over the coming Sem
atorlal elections. The Democrats have
some hopes OF returning Democrat
from New Jersey and some OF getting a
Democratic Senator In Maine, and II Is
quite among the possibilities that the
Democratic supremacy IN the Senate
may depend upon the election of Dem
ocrnt In Maine.

Eugenie's sad Voyage.
London Standard.

The Empress Eugene left Southamp-
ton yesterday for Zululand. On alight-
ing from her carriage the Empress. who
was dressed in deep mourning, was pre-
sented with II bunch of violets by Sir
Benjamin Phillips, whose arm she them
took, and passing along the carpeted
way was conducted on board the steam
er Alexandria, lying at the same quay
whence some months ago the Empress
embarked on a visit to her mother in the
Peninsula. As she pissed along the
wharves all present uncovered, and the
Empress courtcously bowing her ac-
acknowledgements, was evidently deeply
moved by these attentions. The Alex
andra at once left the docks, and was
followed by the steamer Sovereign, talk
ing the ordinary passengers and their
impedimenta. Three large cabins on the
port side have been set apart and spe-
cially prepared for the Empress' use
The first opens from the main saloon,
and forms Il private boudoir, legintly
furnished. The walls are paneled in
japanese satin Of light green relieved
by borders of the same material of q
darker hue, with cornlce pricked out
with gilt studs. Beyond this is the sleep
inc apartment, in which TIRE beds for the
Empress and her maid, and this opens
into a lavatory and bathroom. The
main fittings are Of mahogany, maple,
rosewood, and electro silver. The En-
press arriving on board went at once TO
her cabin, and having partaken of Il light
luncheon was joined by her friends, her
leave-takings being of a most Affection
ate kind. She gave to NJ. Uhlmann her
portrait, bearing her autograph, signed
in his presence. The imperial suite con-
sists of the Hon. Mrs. Ronald Campbell,
young widow, who is going out to en-
deavor to find the grave of her husband,
who was Sir Evelyn Woods side de-
camp and was shot through the head on
the Zlobane Mountain; Sir Evelyn
Wood, who viii accompany the Empress
at the request of the Queen; the Mar
quis de Bassano, DR.. Scott, who was
present when the body was found and
embalmed the remains; Lieut.. Slade, an
artillery officer, who was an intimate
friend Of the late Prince Imperial; three
men-servants and two female servants.
Capt. Briggs, who was attached to the
Prince lmperial's battery, has also left
for Durham to make arrangements for
the Empress's journey up the country.
When the bell of the steamship was
rung to clear the vessel Of strangers, the
Empress came Oh deck, and standing at
the head of The gangway ladder with the
Marquis de Bassano kissed her hand TO
her friends who were now on board the
Alexandria. She remained there MS the
small steamer got further and further
away, and one Of the last objects made
ont from the AleXandrh's deck was
black figure waving white pocket
handkerchief. in which now and again

| SOMETHING ABOUT THE "LUCKY" HORSE
SHOE.
The horseshoe, now all the rage as an
ornament, and affected by men and wO-
men alike, has long bean considered a
token Of good luck, especially by sallors.
Few sailors would start on voyage in
n ship on which the potency of the
horseshoe was not acknowledged. II
must be kept at some conspicuous place

steamb0ats, not deCk-h1nd could be in
duccl to engage himself on steamer
that did not have Il partly-worn horse
shoe nailed over the companion-way OF
the bow. Very often they are.placed
near one ilgure-head, at the stem Of the
bow. How long this superstition has
prevailed, It would be impossible TO tell.

lies 10 flud a whole horseshoe In the
road that lfls been cast from the animal
and still retains five of the nails In it, Is
considered remarkable token of good
luck. But should any one find u horse
shoe with all the nails IN it, he may con-
slider himself endowed with wonderful
powers of magic. This conceit, no doubt,
had its origin in the fact that it is almost
impossible for a horse TO cast shoe
in which all the nails are intact.

For some time one of the students at
the University Of Virginia has complain
ed Of losing sums Of money. On Mon
day last he circulated the report that he
had received quite sum Of money, and
leaving his door unlocked, laid down
with his pistol in his pocket, intending
to await the arrival Of the thief, but in
stead Of remaining on watch he fell
asleep and woke up about midnight, and
found a negro man standing over him
with large knife in his hand. The ne
gro demanded the money, and the stu
dent pretended to be getting it out of his
pocket, but in reality he endeavored to
get his pistol out. The negro discovered
this and made lunge at the student
with the knife which passed through
five or six leaves OF blank book that
was in his pocket, breaking the force of
the blow, and preventing the would-be-
assassin from taking the life Of his vic
tim. The negro then turned to flee,
when tho student drew his pistol and
fired, striking the negro in the shoulder,
but he escaped and up to this time has
not been arrested.--Sdiem Register.

EXCITEMENT AT THE ZrEC WoRKs.-
One day last week Jason W. Mixter, SUI
pcrintendent, on the part Of the Bertha
Zinc Mine Company, Of Plymouth,
Mass, sold the entire property of the
company, at Martins station, to Geo. w,
Palmer. of SalNille, for the sum of $780,
500; making out In due form the legal
papcrs necessary for the transfer. We
are now informed that on Monday an
order was received from the company's
headquarters for a shipment of zinc,
which the new owner forbade. Mr.
Mixter then declared the contract void,
but Mr.. Palmer took another view of the
matter, and alongside Of his view took
possession of the works. The company,
who seemed In blIssful ignorance Of the
whole affair, were notified of the ma
muvres at the fort. On Tuesday night
the officers Of the company, headed by
the President, arrived at Martins Sta
ton with the intention of settling the
dispute, but with what result we know
not. A heavy lawsuit, II is thought Will

An Unexpected Response.

Preachers in the frontier settlements
have had often ludicrous experiences.
They must hold the attention of con-
gregation in spite of crying babies, and
keep their own gravity in circumstances
both awkward and ridiculous. Occa-
sionally the strain is too great, and they
surrender to the situation. An eloquent
Episcopal clergyman was ANONYMOUSLY
driven from the pulpit by donkey.
He was favorite preacher with the
frontier families, for he depended little
on manuscript, and used familiar
phrases and illustrations which inter-
ested them in his sermons. In enforc-
ing the lesson of sermon, he was earn
est and practical, and made direct ap-
peals to his hearers.
On one occasion, during the summer,
he was preaching in crowded school
house. The windows were open, and
cattle were browsing on the shady side.
Among them was donkey, which,
having drawn one of the families to
the meeting, had been turned loose to
browse. The preacher was ending his
sermon with, ssAnd now, beloved, what
think ye of these things ?"
At this juncture the donkey put his
head through the open window and gave
a most unearthly bray. The preachers
sef-possession wavered, and hands and
handkerchief went up to the faces Of
the congregation.
The silence grew oppressive; but the
preacher managed to add, II say, my
brethren, what think you of these
things ?" to which the donkey respond
ed by second hideous bray. It was
too much for preacher and nearer. In
q minute the sermon was ended, the
congregation dismissed, and the people
gathered in groups outside, convulsed
with laughter.

Prompt Action.

A physician in Philadelphia was wax
ened one night by the sound of stealthy
steps in his lower hall. Going noise
lessly to the top Of the stairs, he saw a
masked man, powerfully built and
armed, going into his dining-room,
where the plate was kept. The doctor
had neither pistol nor weapon of any
kind In the house, but he had cool
head and ready wit, which are frequent
~ better defense than bullets.
He remembered that there was in his
chamber q large paper bag, in which
crackers had been brought from the
grocer's. Going back for it, he inflated
it, passed softly down the stairs, and
then exploding It, with loud report, by
striking it against the wall, he leaped
upon the burglar, shouting, You're my
prisoner !"
The thief dropped upon his knees,
crying out, Tim shot! Tn dead
man !" In the scufae which followed
he managed to escape, but the. doc
tors GOODNESS and paper-bag saved his
plate. -.
Another instance Of the value of COM
posure and prompt action in an emer-
gency occurred at bathing ground on
the New Jersey coast. A stout, heavy
man was seized with cramp in the surf,
and was carried beyond the shore
