The Paris GdlGloiS now comes forward
with the statement that General Skobeloff
poisoned himself with digitalis to escape
the dishonor which threatened him in con-
sequence of certain revelations which i'm
pllcated him in the Nihilist plots. The
stories about Skobeloff and Garibaldi are
beginning to seem startling.
California paper on a deceased Judge:
"Justice Connolly is dead. He was given to
drink, and was very unruly under liquor.
In the past twelve months he has attempted
to stab and shoot several persons. At last,
in drunken fl, he fell twenty feet from q
window, and expired in about two hours"
What a blessing to local paper that man
must have been!
At Green Bay, Wis, few days since,
man requested loan Of five dollars, giving
a watch as security. The man said he had
years before, while travelling on the Hudson,
advanced q like sum for the "ticker" TO a
man who was dead broke. The money was
advanced, and there was found the follow
ing inscription engraved on the inside case:
al W. Guiteau to Charles j. Guiteau." The
watch is of little value save as relic OF the
assassin.
At the Masonic obsequies in memory OF
Garibaldi, held in building at Montevideo,
South America, an alarm of fire was given,
and three hundred panic stricken persons
rushed for the narrow staircase leading to
the door, Twenty persons were tramped

A public funeral of the victims followed
this holocaust on the next day. The fire
was caused by an oil lamp falling on cata-
falque.
A female who may we'll be described as
a phenomena is just now being exhibited in
London. She is just eighteen years OF age,
and is said to be eight feet two inches In
height. To crown the matter she is still
growing. Her face Is rather prepOssessing,
ana her feet are simply prodigious. The
only disagreeable popularity OF this fair
giantess is that sne cannot hold herself
easily erect. she always appears to be sit
ting or falling down.
A correspondent eulogizes, in one of the
English papers, the GOODNESS, pluck and
steadfast reliance on England exhibited by
the Khedive during the recent Egyptian
crisis. His Highness has won, declares this
correspondent, the sympathy and admira-
ton OF the whole nation. Yet there are
persons who describe the Khedtye as COW
ardly nobody. 1t should be added that this
correspondent takes pains TO say that he is
not an Egyptian bondholder.
Several years ago the notorious Jesse
James, recently shot in Missouri, made q

DAYS ago Mr.. Dovey received package con
tanning his lost watch, accompanied by
a note from Mrs. Jesse James, asking him

mail, The watch contained the following
inscription: "Charles DOvey, from his father;
1918 Barring street, Philadelphia, Pa" Mrs.
James recently CApICooC0 q dCoAAO W AANhN
amends, as far as lay in her power, to those
whom her husband had wronged, and from
the inscription she was enabled to know to
whom the watch belonged.
Commodore Shufeldt, who arrived at San
Francisco Saturday, says that the opening
of Corea was his own idea In conception and
execution. Two years ago he was author
lied by the United States Government to
attempt the undertaking through the medi-
nm of Japan, but failed TO obtain access to
the proper authorities. Meantime events
had so Tipened In COrea that 1t became
comparatively easy matter to effect his pur-
poses through the agency OF China. Corea
preferred to begin with the United States
because Commodore Shufeldt was person
ally known in Cores, and because the Core
ans knew they could get from the United
States a liberal treaty, excluding opium, OF
which they have great dread, and avoiding
interference with religious questions. Corea
intimates to other nations mat the Amert-
can treaty must be the basis OF all others.

scribed as q handsome and clever woman OF
twenty-four, Her father, Lord Chesham,
who died a few weeks ago, is one OF the
Cayendishes, the family 10 which the Duke
of DeVonshire belongs. Her brother, toe

Eminent surgical authorities and demon
strators Of anatomy still continue to discuss
the wound of President Garfield In the

testimony and dissecting the report Of the
