LOtta's Farewell . America.

LOtta's Farewell 10 America.
New York World.
While theatrical gossips were
breathlessly circulating the news Of
Miss Lillian Russell's elopement YES
terday, another and even better known
actress quietly and unostentatiously
took her departure for Europe. AT
an early hour carriage drove down
to the Inman dock, crowded at the
time by professional "seers off," and
from it alighted q tall, slender young
man, dressed in the most extravagant
height OF fashion, a little old lady
wearing spectacles, who seemed to be
as nervous and generally upset as Mrs.
Nickleby would have been under sim
liar circumstances, and a slight viva
cious young person with pale face,
swapping brown eyes and hair Of the
color of fresh horse chestnut.
At least dozen eager people as
sisted the trio to scale the gang plank
Of the City Of Berlin, the face of the
youngest of the three being at the
moment drolly suffused in quick al
formation with tears and smiles. On
reaching her stateroom she found it
full of beautiful floral trophies, the
fragrant we'll wishing Of scores Of
friends.
In an incredibly short space of time
tho pale young girl with the chestnut
hair was generally identified as
Lolita" into which briet theatric
name has been shrunk for years her
full and sonorous actual title of Miss
Charlotte Crabtree. The nervous old
lady with spectAcles was naturally
recognized'as Mrs. Crabtree, and the
young gentleman apparently contri-
buted to the picture by fashion plate
was insensibly put down as her
betrotbed husband, whereas in fact he
was her brother George.
By and by, amid the cheers OF
everybody and the tears of a good
many, the City of Berlin cast off the
hawsers which fastened her to the
wharf, and while Mr.. Urabtree looked
mistily at the spectacle, his mother
and sister were borne off to Europe.
Little Miss Lotta's throat is in a
very inhamed and dangerous condi !.
ton. She can sing no longer, and her
spirits are correspond;ngly depressed
She goes to England-her native
country, by the way-to seek rest
and the health which rest brings with
IT. 1t will be two years probably be-
fore she will return. The knowledge
that she has at least 1850, 900 of cash
in bank will relieve all her friends Of
the fear that she may not enjoy her
holiday.

HatchIe Lake Again.

Several weeks ago, and during the last
rise previous to the one now with us, the
Chief Engineer ofthe Little Rock railway
and others went up ten or twelve miles
above the city to look at the place where
the river is flowing over the east bank into
Hatchie lake, thence down the lake into
Wolf river and back into the main river
again through the mouth of the latter.
The slip of land between theriver and the
lake is from 60to 100 yards in width, and
at one point when the river is higher, as
1t is now, the water flows over carried by
strong current and steep slope with
much velocity and in heavy volume. The
engineer and those with him found the
water in the cut several feet deep, and be-
lieved it to be getting deeper. No opinion
was then expressed as TO whether
or not the main river would
be likely to cut through and
pass down the lake through Wolf river in
front of the city. The expression, how
ever, was given that should this occur the
railway incline of the Little Rock road on
this side would he endangered, and that
over at Hopefeld with its approaches
would be saved from further damage
through caving banks. Several persons
and some of the local papers ridiculed the
idea of the river coming through by way
of the Hatchie. A decline set in soon
after and nothing more was said about it.
Within the last few days the rise of the
waters has started the thing up anew.
Yesterday evening rumors of an in
creased water flow through Hatchie
we're spread, and in the evening
tug with party of people interested
made an excursion to the scene. They
found the water flowing through as was
reported before, and they returned Just as
the other party did. Their opinions are
VERY various" just like those who went
up before they did. Until the river quits
rising or makes such changes as it is dis
posed to make, they win not be able to
say much definitely as to the result.

The Great Brilliancy and Varie-
ty of Southern Foliage.

1t would be in vain, amongst the dry
technical details, to convey any impress
sion OF the brilliant effect of southern
foliage; but the. tendency ofall atmos.
pheric nutrition in which the nitrates
supersede the ammonias, in the carbon
series, is to multiplication OF leaf sur
face: Like the epiphytes and air plants,
| all the plant asks of terrestrial matter is q
stool to stand upon; that supplied, it
Tits its thirsty spores in the sunbeam
and dimes with Apollo on necter and
ambrosia. This multiplication is the
finely divided foliage of the mimosas
form, the delicate pumale leaf of bay

leaf of the custard apple in the
mari beds OF Okechobee, Fla. !:

Growth of Washington.

Builders are SO busy in Washington
that it is hard to get the most trifiing re-
pairs done. Houses are going up all
oyer the city, and land since 1880 he's
quadrupled in value. Blaine's house cost
S67 900, including the land; Robeson's
cost S2S, 900, but he bought his lot sever
al years ago; Don Cameron's between
81 1000 and $5o,000, while those of PEN
dleton, Window and Hazen averaged
$35, 600. But Robson asks $l00, 600 for
his house, and lots everywhere are as
suming metropolitan prices. Amember
could formerly hire nicely furnished
house for $3.50 a month during the ses-
sion; now the same accommodations are
twice as high, and floors in good neigh
borhoods, which four years ago rented
at $50, are now scarce at $l00. The in
aux here grows each winter. People
who cut but moderate figure on $40, 1000
year in New York and Baltimore can
come here and live handsomely. The
result is that Pennsylvania avenue of an
afternoon is crowded with handsome
turnouts, and houses renting at 50, 900 to
$4,000 are in demand. A large nun,ter
OF flats are being erected too.

A Missouri Romance.

Mr.. I. c. Childers and Mrs. Lucinda

county, Franklin, in 1856, and lived to.

joined the southern army in response to
call for volunteers, says the Springfield
(Mo.) Herald. Soon he was made nris-

and his wife, after long and fearful

her first love. Still, she was q woman,

Early Marriages.

To those who believe in early mar
riages, as we do, the following story, ta-
ken from Notes and Queries, will prove
of interest; Lady Sarah Cadogan, daugh

married at the age of l3 to Charles, sec

said that this marriage was bargain to
cancel gambling debt between their
parents. Lady Sarah being co.heiress.
The young Lord March was brought
home from college, and the little. lady
from her nursery, for the ceremony,
which took place at The Hague. The
bride was amazed and silent, but the
husband exclaimed: "Surely yon are
not going to marry me to that dowdy?"
Married, however he was, and his tutor
then took him off to the Continent, and
the bride went back to her mother.

How Soldiers are Swindled.

Judge Ferris, second auditor Of the
treasury, in his annual re port, exposes
the methods by which soldiers are
swindled by unprincipled attorneys and
agents. He SAYS;
Not one in ten applications for arrears
of pay and bounty possess any merit,
and not one in twenty of these claims u
filed upon the suggestion or by the vol
untary action OF the claimant. The at.
torney seeks the client and represents
to the uniformed, more generally the
colored soldiers or their heirs, that they
have not been paid all that is justly due
them; that some new law or new con.s
struction Of the existing law entities them
to more bounty or further pay. A small
fee in advance is required, generally ~
or $, some times more--in fact all that
can be got, with the promise thst no
be allowed The fee is paid. application
filed and in the end rejected. The at-
torney rarely looks after the claims: Il
does not pay. He has received his liz.
tie advance fee, and it pays better to
hunt up more victims. Soldiers are
swindled. and after their claims are re-
jected, frequently denonnce the govern.
ment and its officers, who simply ad-
minister the law as they find II. Another
class of worthless claims lis constantly
increasing namely, claims for bounties
already paid. In many of these cases
denials of former payments are made
under oath, when the records Of this
office, authenticated in the highest man-
ner known to the law and courts, chow
conclusiyely tiiat payments were made
wears ago. To purjury Is sometimes add
ed forgery. and the lapse Of time since
the war increases the chances or success
to forgers and perjnrers. Should these
records be destroyed, and such cnIamity
Is not beyond the pale Of possibility the
government will certainly be defraaded
out of millions of dollars. a8 ss
