ped at the door Of the man from WASH
ipgton to arouse him. The occupant OF
the room, taking the messenger for an
intruder, jumped from bed, dashed nj
him with pitcher in hand, and chased
him from the room. Returning, the
gentleman by mistake entered the apart
ment Of the New Yorker, who was
dressing, and whom he also took TO be
an intruder. A contest of strength en-
sued, during which the pitcher was
broken TO pieces and both men were
slightly injured. Tho New Yorker es-
capped from the room and called for
help, while the man from Washington.
master Of the situation, locked himself
inside. Help was soon obtained In the
person Of some men In the hotel and ono
or two police officers, and the man from
Washington was persuaded to open the
door and 60 to his own room. he soon
after seemed TO awaken ~ II from q

THE Brazilian colony of Blumenau, largely
peopled by settlers from Germany, has met
with serious disaster in the shape OF an over
whelming tropical rain storm. DIR. Blumenau
writes to the Sddr ard Mosel Zeit,sng that de-
luge burst upon the settlers at three o'clock
on the morning of the 22d of September and
lasted until eleven at night. Over twenty per
sons were drowned or lost their lives otherwise
during its continuance. In q neighboring set
Element, eighteen lives were lost. and doubt
less many more in other places. Hundreds Of
houses were destroyed, bridges washed away,
and streets and roads so utterly devastated as
hardly to leave a trace of their previous exist
ence. DIR. Blumenau's valuable library and
private papers and manuscripts were irrepara-
bly, damaged, and his botanical garden, that
had been carefully cultivated for twenty-five
years, was partly uprooted and destroyed, and
partly buried in mud. Most of the colonists
are destitute.

tombs long forgotten, though they hold
royal dust, past gratings that allow a
broken glance of antique statues and
dusky painted windows, to the broad
steps behind the altar where in perfec-
tion of solemn beauty stands Henry Wis
chapel. The steps are lined with Choir
listers on either hand. In niche in the
southern corner of the chapel, and beside
the Due de Montpensier, Dean Stanley is
laid. When the mourners and the cor

the great tomb and the wall was imme-

all that is grandest and best in England.
The stalls of the knights of the Bath
surmounted by ragged pennons, were

was laid in his final resting place against
