a Curious Phase OF social Life.

WASHINGTON, April I6.-The appoint
ment of Mr.. Chandler TO the naval portfolio
has developed an interesting phase of Wash
ington social life. 1t will be remembered
that when j. Wilkes Booth was shot the pic
ture of handsome young lady, reigning
society belle. was found on his person. The
original of the portrait was Miss Hale, the
daughter of leading politician and states
man, and a lady OF whom Booth had be-
come deeply and seriously enamored. What
encouragement he had received was not pre-
cisely known, but there was enough be-
tween them to form the basis OF a good many
romances, which afterward appeared in the
public press Miss Hale afterward became
Mrs. Chandler, and is now the wife Of the
secretary of the navy. The same whirligig
OF time which has brought this about has
also made the then young son of the mar
tyred Lincoln secretary of war. 1t now ap-
pears that according to official etiquette it is
the duty of the secretary of war to escort
the wife of his cabinet associate to dinner on
state occasions. He must take the wife of
the secretary of the navy. Secretary Lin
coin, in short, must escort the one-time
sweetheart of the assassin OF his distinguished
father,

CARDINAL M,CABE.
Imposing Ceremony ON Taking Pos
session OF his TituIar Church.

ROME, April 16-Crowds of British and
American Catholics and members of the re-
ligious orders assembled at 4 o'clock this
afternoon in the church of Santa Sabina on
the AventIne to witness Cardinal McCsbe
take possession of his titular church. The
cardina arrived aad was saluted by brass
band. He walked up the nave, preceded by
English, Irish and French Dominicans, to
which order the church belongs. After ador-
ing the holy sacrament and generating the
relics, the cardinal seated himself on throne
and heard the apostolic pronotary read the
Latinsbull of investlture. His eminence re-
piled in English, saying that he
was grateful for the honor con-
ferred upon him. He Landed the
Dominican order and alluded to Ireland's
secular devotion and her continued fidelity
to the Catholic Church. He noticed as a
touching circumstance that his present titular
church had been erected by Pope Celestin /,
who. sent ST. Patrick to christianzs Ireland.
Father Bianchi, general of the Dominicans,
returned thanks, congratulaiing Ireland and
his order on the nomination. After the "Te
Deum" hal been chanted the cardinal gave
the benedictioD. Afterward reception was
held and refreshments were partaken of in
the cloister. Flowers and trefois lay on the
tables. Many ladies We're present, the clois-
trail prohibition being momeptarily su=-
pended by the cardinal. The cardinal sat
in an armchair, with the earl of Denbigh on
his right. Mgr. Stonor and several bishops
were seated around. Father Kirby, rector of
the Irish College, read an, address proclaim
ing Cardinal McCabe's virtues and thanking
the pope for this signal proof of his benevo-
lence to the Irish church. The cardinal re-
piled, disclaiming any personal merit and ex-
pressing gratitude to the holy father, and
said that he hoped to be instrumental
through Divine Providence, for the preserva-
ton OF religion, morality and order in Ire
land. The offerings consisted of a fine
portrait of the pope by Bianchi and purse
OF 4000f. The cardinal will stop here q
month. The pope intends this nomination
as proof of his desire to assist the British
government to maintain order and legality

Knoxville Chronicle. 18Th: There was
frost Sunday morning, bgyfnot sufficient to
injure vegetation in this locality"
Columbia, 18th: Frost for two nights, but
not hard enough to do much damage. Pros
poets for an abundant harvest still bright.
Smithland, 18th: Frost here the last two
nights, though it was not severe enough to
damage the wheat The "pink-eye" is pre-
vailing to a considerable extent among the
horses.
Chattanooga Times, 18th: "The fruit crop
is entirely uninjured by the recent cold
weather. Fruit on Mission ridge never
looked better, and there will be heavier
yield than ever before. Fruit in general is
nearly a month ahead of last year. Our
strawberry raisers picked ripe berries Sun
day. The first ripe strawberries were picked
last year about May LIST, and the fruit was
far from being as delicious as now. Peaches
on Mission ridge look finer than ever before
in this section, and were never so large at
this time. The success of the crop Is now
assured. The prospects of the grape, and in
fact all fruit and cereals, are very fattering.'

So gradually, the pickets on both sides

The Kangaroo as a Fighter.

A wild kangaroo is a more formida-
bic beast than might be supposed.
Standing at bay in fighting attitude,
on the tripod of his leg and tail, some
times seven feet high, a solitary 'forest-
err is not to be trihed with. The arms
of such q beast as long as those of a
man, and his hand-like paws have
sharp, hooked claws. With these he will
spar against couple of powerful hounds
like boxer, and woe betide the unfor-
tunate puppy that ventures within reach
of those sinewy limbs; he will be held
for moment in strong grip while q
downward blow from the hind-foot,
armed with its sharp, long claw, rips
him down from shoulder to tail. Sew
up the cash, apply the black fellows
remedy-a little dry dust-and let him
take his chance to die, or crawl home q
wiser hound An old dog will wait his
chance, make flank attack, and get
hold of the enemy by the tail, when
over he goes, and is soon worried to
death.
A kangaroo always takes to the wa
ter, where he will stand as deep as he
can, and methodically drown any dog
which ventures within his reach. A
stockman in Australia, while looking for
tracks along the boundary of his run,
heard dog barking-a sound sure to
attract a bushman's attention, as it
would portend something with a flock
of sheep. Riding over in the direction
of the sound, he found shepherd in tho
grasp Of a big, old kangaroo, holding on
for his life to root in the bank of the
stream. The kangaroo had been chased
into the stream by the shepherds dog,
which had gone into the water after
him, and would have been incontinently
drowned had not his master gone to the
rescue. The kangaroo, leaving the dog,
had seized the man, and was doing his
best to drown him, which he would
most likely have done had the stockman
not heard tie frantic barking of dog
2;d interfered with big stick.
The writer has never seen kangaroo
SWIM though they always take to water
when hard pressed, like deer, A mob
of kangaroos running look very like fall
low deer at distance. When sitting
up immovable, on the watch, they look
so much like gray stumps as to be in
distinguishable to the inexperienced eye.
They look very ghostly and uncanny as
