Morehead City, N. C., writes q correspon-
dent, is Inc only city in the world without &
wheel in It. l do not think there is q wagon
or a buggy horse in town, and very few in
the county. Everything is done In boats.

boat cannot get within mile Of. Not q
doctor or a lawyer In the county owns
horse-they practice in boats. The people
go to funerals in boats, and when they arrest
a man they carry him to jail in boat.

claimed under an old Spanish grant by one
J. a. Reayls, who announces that ne is
about to bring suit to enforce his rights. He
promises to be magnanimous to all who
concede the validity OF his claims without
opposition, and to be generous to such news
papers as write favOTably about him, but
threatens to deal severely with those who
contest his demands in a factious spirit. At
latest accounts ReaVis had arrived in Tue
son. The claim he asserts probably has real
validity, vet, like the Capt. Vslliere suit for

possibly be made the basis for litigation.
The Princess Of Wales, now in her thirty
eighth year, is described as looking scarcely
day older than when, on March 10, nine
teen years ago, she stood at the altar by the
side of her young husband. Nor do ad-
vancing years change, save to deepen and
strengthen, the regard and affe csion in
which sheis held by the people Of England.
By common consent sheis placed beyond
the region OF criticism. ''What the Prime 2
does" is the topic OF free discussion-praise
or blame-every night st score OF clubs
and IN drawing rooms innumerable. But
the good taste Of "What the Princess does"
is never for moment called into question.

of people in Great Britain are expended, re-
ports that there was difference of opinion
as to what constituted luxuries and neces-
