The Dannhin,. King-rerhans.

The late Jules Favre in 1851 and again in 1874 conducted before the French Court of Appeals the case of the heirs of one of the pseudo Bourbons, Charles William NaumdOrf, who had claimed to be Charles Lotus, Duke of Normandy, son of Louis XVI, and Marie Antoi-
 nette. When he concluded his plea,
 the French Pretenders's daughter pre- sented him with a cameo ring, inscribed with the figure Of centaur drawing a bow, which, she said had belonged to her father Louis XVII This ring NJ. Fsvre always wore, and when in 1871 he
 went to Frankfort to sign the treaty with Germany, Bismarck desired him to seal 1t in due form. But ! have no seal, % said M. Favre; "I am not sovereign.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
WAsHINeroN, April g, 1882

WAsHNGToS, April 23, 1882.
 Washington is the most beautiful city on the American continent, but with a damnable climate, is the universal judg- ment, and concur. Its beauty Is due to the dishonesty of Shepherd. We'll, since hearing Ingersoll, and contact with the infidel east, am in doubt as to whether it is the result of Territorial science, or an overruling Providence, on either theory it had enough. Since my arrival two days ago, April showers and March winds have alternated, but so-day old winter, snow crested, rules right roy ally. As 1 write, hls sign manual IS vis- ible everywhere, opening buds and for ward flowers paying the penalty of their rashness by premature death at the hands of his executioner, the frost king. It IS showing and has been all day, the air cold and disagreeable. I have visit ed the Capitol, seen the nation en masse, and had all my fancies of its great dig nity dispelled. In the House I heard, or rather seen a moral member, "paw the air" on the tariff. The hall was "con- fusion worse confOunded," and the poor fellow was believing and gesticulating without a solitary listener even in the gallery. The House is an undignifed disorderly mob Of pot house politicians and should be abolished. Perhaps l should qualify this by saying that among it's members are some able men. I liked the Senate better, they are fewer and their bearing more refined. McDill is the only one heard speak, an orator by DO means but intelligent and logical.
 I also visited the Supreme Court and was much impressed with the dignity and refinement of the Court and its surroundings What seldom happens the bench was full. I mean all nine were present. Those whose presence most impressed me were Grey, Miller, Field and Harlan, although they are accomplished and honorable men. When I entered Judge Campbell form- erly of the bench was addressing the Court in the celebrated Louisiana bend case. and made most masterly argu- ment. He was followed in the same case contra by David Dudley Field. It was hard to determine who had the best of it, so evenly were these giants
 
 I also visited several of the Depart ments and was cordially received and at tentively listened to. 1 find these people are greatly imposed upon by their crea- lures, and you would be amused Co hear the condition of our affairs from an of- ficisl standpoint
 Our delegate and his accomplished wife met and was the beneficiary of their hospitality. Gran. stands we'll, is working industriously and conscienti- ously for bis constituents, and deserves to be returned. It is difficult as you know for a delegate to exhibit the ma tured fruits of his labor at the first term, but my word for it good results will flow if he is given an opportunity.
 Blaine, the white plumed," IS on the stand ID response to the Shipherd iudict- ment. I predict that he will come out as he always has with flying colors, and with escutcheon untsrnished. The re spectable sentiment is all with him.
 The recent outbreak IS being general ly discussed and the hope entertained that nothing serious will come of it.
 For the present, "au rsvoir." NJ

Yonng Bismarck and the Fans.

An interesting lawsuit IS soon to be decided in Hungary. Prince Bismar ok 8 son William spent the summer at the watering place of Mehadia, where he paid some attention to two fair sisters, who desire more tangible proofs of his affection than were contained in con- pliments. Accordingly they selected a number of articles of iewelry. and asked the jeweler to take them to Count Bill and say that the young ladies had ad- mired them greatly The ieweler declined the operation, but another dealer proved more contemplating or less scrupulous, and took two fans to the Count saying that the price was eighty fiOring and that the ladies had wished to have the articles in question. The Count replied with diplomatic sarcasm that in the delightfully."- cool temperature which always characterized that charm ing health resort, fans were more than superfiuous, and subsequently, when he met the ladies, asked with his fathers cheery frankness if they knew anything about the dealers mission. The ladies, promptly, though not without some con- fusion. denied having ever said anything to the dealer, and Count Bill' at once handed the merchant over to the tri- bunal of commerce on a charge Of endeavOring, through false pretenses, to extort eighty fOrins from him for a pair of fans barely worth forty. The dealer in self-defense, has summoned the ladies as witnesses, and the trial promises to be an interesting one.

IF Auzona's appeal for aid in thIs her direst hour of need are unheeded, it will be because of the dispatch wired with in- decent haste from Prescott upon the an- nouncement of the present Indian out break that it was nothing alarming. Prescott is known as the capital of the Territory and its selfish and heartless treatment of the section of the Territory Tn which over one hundred settlers have been murdered deserves rebulte.

MR. BARSUM has secured Jumbo and yet he Is not happy. The white elephants of the King of Siam will not let the great snowman sleep. He yesterday despatched parcel filled with curious and interesting literary contributions, including a superbly bound Life Of Barnum," by himself, through a New York house to the COnsul-General of the United States at Bangkok, to be by that functiOnaTy presented tO His Majesty, the first King of Siam, together with a prayer and petition entrcating that potentate to obhge Mr. Barnum and the American people with the loan for certain time, and on any terms agreeable to His Majesty, of one Of the white elephants which are the pride and glory of the Siamese realm. Fortunate ly for the American Consul-General the people of Siam are well advanced iu civi ization. Were they not, such a re- quest would be likely to cost him dear, for the white elephants are supposed by the Buddhist faith to be animated by the spirits of kings and princes. They are regarded as Tn a manner tutelaTy deities, whose presence guarantees the great ness and prosperity of the kingdom To ask Siam for the loan of a white el- ephant IS like borrowing the mystic goblet of the Musgraves, which Schiller has celebrated as the Luck of Eden Hall" If by any chance the first king should incline his ear tO the suit oi Barnum the great snowman may die in peace-unless, indeed he should be stim- ulated by such an astounding success into offering the Pope a round price for the loan of that ancient bronze which for centuries has received the homage of the faithful of all lands and all races in the great central aisle of St. Peters. It should be borne iu mnd, however, that the white elephants of Siam are not white at all, except on the standard of the nation They are Albinos, in fact and the finest of them are of light salmon color. They are kept surrounded in the royal stables with other white animals, such as swans, white crows, white pigeons and large white monkey, whose function it is to ward off evil spirits. IT the monkey does his duty, he will probably bite off the nose of the COnsul-General and SO end the matter. Meanwhile let us make the most of Jumbo while he still has the field to himself

THE conspiracy against the character and reputation of Hon. James G. Blaine, in which he was to t crushed and hu- initiated by the investigation before the Committee on Foreign Affairs, has fall en with confusion upon the heads of his personal and political enemies. Mr. Blaine has come from the inquisition free from the slightest taint of suspi- cion, and the Democratic press in des- peration, is assailing him for his con- duct before the Committee for want of more vulnerable point of attack. The Chicago Tribune says that these con- meRts are made with "ferOcity which can only be inspired by baflled rage and hate. Some of these newspaper con- ments are disgraceful to their authors. They are founded on studi1us misrepre- sentations of what took place. They are not supported by facts. Blaine's best vIndi dication, after all, must be found in the very faithful and accurate steno-
 
 Press. They have not been tempered with as the official reports have been, by the shifty and interruptions Belmont. It will be impossible for any candid reader to find in the full account of the proceedings certified to as correct by witnesses, one unparliamentary expres- sion or ungentlemanly word that fell from Mir. Blalne's lips. Yet the hostile press of New York, regardless of the ref utation of the calumnies contained in their own dispatches from day to day, have been in full cry after him since the investigation began. Never was pub lie man so consistently lied about as he has been m this case. It is impossible to avoid the conclusion that their malice is caused by the disappointment they feel in finding in hIs testimony so com plete a vindication of the policy of the Garfield administration and so severe a condemnation of the timerOus, time serving, un-American policy.

ONE of the most singular mechanical operations imaginable IS the making gold wire for what IS known as gold-idce The rehner first prepares a solid rod of silver about an inch in thickness; he beats this rod, applies upon the sur
 face a sheet o. gold-ieaf, furnishes this down, and so on until the gold IS ab0u, one hundred,h part the thickness of the silver. The rod IS then subjected to a train of processes winch brings it down to the state of inc wire, when .t is passed a hole in a steel plate, lessening step by step m diameter. The gold never deserts the silver, but adheres closely Go It and shares all its mutations. It Is one part the thickness of the silver at the beginning, and it maintains the same ratio Co the end. As Co the thinness Co which the gold-Coated rod of silver can be brought, the limit depends on the de- licacy of human skill lt has been cal cuiated, however, that the gold actually placed on the very finest silver wire for gold-lacc is not more than ouc-third Of of an inch in thickness; that is, not above one-tculh the thickness oi ordinary goid-leaf

| 4 PETITION was presented to the City Council at it's session on Monday night,
 that should receive the most careful
 consideration by the members of that body. The petitioners pray that an or
 di-ance be passed granting aid to the
 Southern Arizona railroad to the extent
 of S25,O00 m bonds bearing ten per cent.
 interest. The petition also suggests q
 plan for a fund to meet the principal
 and interest of the subsidy. The South
 ern Arizona Railroad Company IS con-
 posed principally of the members of the
 Atkinson, Topeka and Santa Fe railroad
 and purposes building road from Tue

 ward and new outlet to tide water on the Gulf of California. With proper railroad facilities Tucson will soon rank among the important cities of the west It is to the interest of every present or prospective citizen of Tucson that every possible railroad connection be made, even though the cost may seem great. A city in New New Mexico about half the size of Tucson has recently voted subsidy of s25OOOO to railroad about to be constructed from that point to the Gulf of Mexico, and it will find that it is the best investment the city could have made. The paltry sum asked by the petition now before the Council would | be returned two-fold to the city treasury in additional taxation before the last of | the bonds mature, and the railroad con- pany itself will return nearly that sum in taxes.
