The British Ambassador Defended.

A Washington telegram says: Tho sensa-
tional papers have recently published extrava-
CANT accounts as to what they treated as de-
licious bit of social gossip. the effect Of which
was to charge that the new British minister
here would be Stunned by society because, al
though never married, he had children. whose
mother was an actress, and that he would in
troduce these children here. Investigations
SHOW s1 that tbs rcanaal mongels have printed
injustice to q very estimable gentleman. 1t
appears that the new British minister, when
younb attache of the Britieh legation at Mad
rid, formed all attachment TO- very estlmable
Spanish lady, not On the knighte side or of the
high family to whic!, the young Engiishman
belonged, ard married her. He lived with her
happily for years and had two children by
her. He always recognized her as his wife,
although his marriage was not recorded in the
British court journals Many years ago his wife
died. He has never married since and he brings
his family to America with him. It is learned
from diplomatic circles that the new minister is
very much shocked at this extraordinary cruel

Of that institution during the year 1881, from
which the following extracts are taken: There

tho year lG6 inmates, of whom forty seven
were received during the year There have
been discharged thirty y-eight, and there are
now in the school I25. The inmates
havo been blessed with almost ,lE
Interrupted good health. The discipline and gov

of useful industry have been carried forward
as of equal importance, and have shared
equally Ill the time devoted to them. Most Of
the older boys are engaged in the various
shops, and show commendable progress in
knowledge Of tho several branches Of labor
upon which thcy are employed. The growing

true he called off his dogs VIXEN the scent be

but the latter could not be appeased by even
that leDiercy. He knew that Window was re-
eponsible for stirring up the peculiar manner
in which Sherman had manipulated the treas

his revenge upon Window. Sherman intends
to make, as far as possible, Window very small

Late but Graphic Description OF the
Michigan Fire.

One of the best short descriptions of the
1lichigan fire comes in late letter from
little girl to a New Haven lady who had
sent her winter coat. The young cores
poudent writes: THE fire was terrible It
got dark at noon, and SO hot that the win
dow panes were as hot as lamp chimneys,
and the wind was so strong that it blew the
building over forty acres. The fire sparks
few as big as fists, and 50 thick; thicker
than STOW fakes. 1t was hard to save the
lives. There were two of our neighbors
who got burnt to a crisp Oh the road ss
they were escaping. The fire overlook
them, each mother with FIVE children, and
the father was loft. There was one family
of six children with their parents. and all in
. group. The whola number of lives lost
was thirty one in our town. 1t got so dark
that everybody was running, and they did
not know where to save their lives. Some
had to tear their clothes from them to save
their lives, for they were burning On them,
and some children suffoc.ted in their
mothers arms. One girls clothes caught
fire on her, and she was burnt before she
could tear them off. She amt we'll yet.
Next morning you could see cattle, horses,
hogs, sheep, and human bodies all around
lying burnt. This fire was great deal
worse than the fire in 1871, but do not re-
member that one."
