GENERAL NOTES


In Union county, South Carolina, the
other day, Richard Paulk, a white man, was
convicted of marrying a colored woman and
sentenced to years Imprisonment or a fne
of five hundred dollars. He paid the fine.
Alexander Salvini, a son of the Italian
tragedian, has been in this country year
on the lookout fora chance TO act. He is
TO appear IN Chicago next month, speaking
English in a company supporting Miss
Mather, debutante.
China is probably the only country in the
world where red hair is held in honor. A
San Francisco Chinaman thus adorned by
nature is regarded by his couutrymen with
sunerstitfous respect. A. the table he has
the best of everything, and at all ceremo-
malls he takes precedence.
The two thousand dollar prize Prang
Christmas card for next winter is the design
of Miss Dora Wheeler. 1t represents vir-
gin and child appearing before a pauper
mother and her children. l. ought to be,
and doubtless will be, a great deal better
than the first premium design OF last year.
The New York State militia must have
reached a state OF discipline to which no
parallel in history is known, and
ONLY one In fiction-that Of Plnafore's crew.
Nv an order from State adquarters COM
missioned officers are forbidden to hold con-
versations with privates save on matters
pertaining to military duty.
A London paper Gays: "The pathos Of the
sale which rutblessIy breaks up the historic
gallery of the Duke of Hamilton, is perhaps
the best brought out by minla ure portrait
of "a Knight Of the Carter attributed to
Holbein. This says the catalogue, was
presented by Charles l. to the Marquis of
Hamilton, and bears the Kings brand both
as King and Prince ,"
An ex-convict in New York has been ar
rested for carrying a skeleton key, the pos
session of which by person once convicted
of crime is felony by the laws Of that State
1t is q dangerous law, since so small an
article could easily be surreptitiously placed
in a mans possession by the police or any
other persons who might wish 10 nave him
convicted a second time.
A Denver woman telegraphed to police
Headquarters for an officer. Thinking thai
nothing short of a robbery had occurred
the chief dispatched four policemen in great
haste. They reached the house out Of
breath with running. What did the woman
want? Her little boy would not let hel
wash his face, and, having threatened him
with the police In vain, she concluded tt
try what effect their presence would have.
Hereafter the brand on the cork Of the
champagne bottle is to be no criterion o.
the vintage contained within. According
m the Court Journal, a trade 10 branding
champagne corks has sprung up In London
| IT. Is said that corks bearing a good name
| fetch from a siXpence to a shilling each
| and the uses to which they are put can bt
| guessed from the quality OF the wine they
are used to bottle. There is probably more
villainous stuff drank as champagne In Lon
| don than in any other city In the world.
The Prince of Wales was present at the
opaning of the new building of the Londor
DaiIy Telegraph, on Wednesday last. Tit
whole premises were beautifully decorated
with flowers and were thrown open. The
nrintipp of Thursdays paper was proceed
| mo with in the presence Of the spectators
| THE counting. house, where the principa
reception was held, is probably the finest II
| the world, easily accommodating many hun
bred guests. The Telegraph claims circu-
lation of 900 copies, and the claim, WI
believe, is admitted.
Prince Bismarck on June IS entertained
the Ambassadors of the various powers at
farewell dinner in Berlin prior to leaving
| town for the season. In the course OF thu
| conversation one Of the guests expressed
sunrise at the Chancellor in a recent speech
| IN the Imperial Parliament having Spoken
| Of Mr.. Gladstone as colleague" "Nay
Int we are really colleagues" replied tn,
Prince: 'I grow timber, and he fells it.
The reply is interpreted as limiting at a con
| trast between constructive and destructive
craftsmanship.
The Erwry boy, of Michigan City, who's,
suffsriugs from hydrophobla have beer
terrible, appears to be getting better ever!
dav. A marked popularity in the boy'
| case is that he Graves cigars. The boy
| father saws he never knew him to use to-
hacco in any form. He called for cigal
| on last Wednesday for the first time, whicl
was given him. He smoked 1t entirely Ut
without showing any signs OF sickness from
its effects, but, on the contrary, seemed
greatly soothed. He has smoked three OF
/ four cigars since, and each one seems to DE-
| him a great deal OF good.
General Stone, an American now known
as Stone Pasha, according to late CABLE
dispatch from London, is taking side will
Arab and endeavoring to do his utmost Il
hamper English action. His conduct, gen.
orally inscrutable, is universally blamed
| Americans long resident argue that Amert
| cais interest and England's ought 10 Worl
| together. Simon Wolf, who has Just re
turned from Egypt, where he was United
States Consul General, prints card In tn
| New York Star, denying the report that Gen
Stone is a partisan Of Arab against tn
| Khedive.
jay Gould's residence on the Hudson
river is magnificent estate, and its chic
attraction is conservatory on which vas
sums have been expended. The drainag
