Who Was fhe Iadyl

A more or less correspondent, writing from Paus, says: heard, lately, curl ous and perfectly authentic anecdote re- specting President Buchanan. It Is not generally known, l believe, that the White House came near having, at one time, an English and titled mistress lu the person of that gentleman,s Vile While NIT. Buchanan was minister 10 the court of St. James he made the ac- quaiutance of widowed lady of very high rank. A sincere and terVent at- tacLmenJ sprang 1p between the par, and oLly the opposition ot the lady aristocratlc relatives prevented thelr union. 50 their mutual attachment re- suited ln nothing more than profound and lifelong friendship. A constant correspondence Was maintained between them until the day of Mr. Buchanan's death. The lady long survived her American friend, her death having taken place only few years ago. She was al- ways noted for her kindly feelings to- ward Americans and for her predllec- ton for American society. h a room apart she kept number of souvenirs of her friend, including fine portrait, and also some of his gifts to her, which were mainly of literary and national char actsr, such as works by Amercdn au- thOrs, the photographs and autographs of American celebrities, etc.
 The New York World says; Mir George Ticknor Curtis was called upon and asked what truth there Was III the ancient story, just revived by Paris correspondent, that while James Bu- chanan was the American Minister to England he fell ID love with a young gentlewoman the only daughter of a peer and an helress to great wealth. His affection was returned, 80 the story goes, boy he- relatives prevented The marriage. MT. Curtis said "lhe story Is wholly untrue. President Buchanan would never have married any lady spoken of by this correspondent. l iH- lend to publish the life ut President Bu- chanau m a month or sO, and will explain why he never married. When he was a JUuug man he fell m love, but the lady 1led suddenly aud m! sterlousiy, and her iratu suauoWed Pie lueut buchauau'r 'r
 liter lie. While he Was ht the Court Ot >t. James be was very intimate VItL
 uree ladies, sisters, uamed CatOn, from Baltimore. He uiHed with tuem and at-
 rn-td receptions, pruDhbl!, Wlth them' lut l am c,rIan he never feil III love with either of them.
 Mir. Curtis Is no doubt right when he avs that Mir. Buchanan never feii .u love with either of the three sisters Caton while he was Minister of the United States iu London. Certainly he could not then have fallen ID love with Marianne Caton, MarchIoness Wellesley, who died lS53, the year in which MT. Buchanan went tO London. He could net have offered To marry Louisa CatOn, duchess of Leeis, for she never became widow tlll 1859. three years after hIs election to the Presidency. He might have offered to marry Elizabeth Caton, Lady S;afforn, who became q widow iu 1851 and died III 1862, but 1t Is not at all probable that be offered to marry her. and 1t will be better for the curious in such matters to await the revelations which MT. Curtis promises to make.

Miss Carrie Astor, daughter f Will liam E. AstOr, heiTess expectaut tu mil lions upon millions, pet Tn our most ex- quisite society tsays Q New York lettsrL has become ballet dancer. Her debut
 was Tn the presence Of a damned crowd of eager spectators. The dance was a
 Dutch reel, elaborated by new and pie turesaue movemetts. Miss Astor wore a correct Dutch peasant costumr, con- sisiing of a rod merinO skirt and white muslin waist; her hair was braided be- hind ana banded with an ornamental gold device, while her cap. modelled after those worn b. the girls of the province of Friesland. was prettIly coquettlsh. She had heavy gold bracelets. gold lIued chain necklace, a diamond brooch and diamond earrings. She danced gracefully, to the music Of Zithers, and was applauded with immense enthusl- asm. No performance by the expert GavallaZZi, the ballet premier ot grand opera at the Academy of Music, ever gained half the approbation. or course, Miss Astor didn't do this on the stage. though II was part of show at which a dollar admission lee was charged. This happened at the kirmess, or Dutch fes- tival, given for a charitable object. r Manager Palmer, of the Madison Square could secure such actresses he wouldn't look in vain for recruits to take the place of seceders from his company, and finally retire from the business m despair, as he has this week done.

TIE Mexican Congress Is m favor of a national bank system similar to that in the United States. They contemplate funding the national debt Of Mexico. which is about $50, ,OO0,OOO. in bonds run- ming from forty to fifty years, and make them the basls of national bank sys- tenn. They expect to be able to dispose of most Of the bonds in the United States An immigration scheme has also been inaugurated. The Mexican authorities give land and pay passage for those who desire to settle in Mexico. But even this will not draw immigrants from the United States They must first experi- ence a season of profound peace; elect at least one president without revo1 lution; they must show as good or 6 better country than is to be found on this side of the line. They must also create a market for farm produce equal to that of the United States Mexico is not exactly the place for Americans to emigrate to, just yet; there are many objectionable features to overcome in Mexico before 1t will receive any con siderable number of American immI ~ran.a

WE learn that 1t is the intention of the managers Of the Port L1bos Rall- road. to change that portion of the route immediately south of Tucson, from the original survey to a point near Junction Station on the Santa Cruz. This in our opinion. is a great improvement over the original line as it will enable the com pany to reach point within twenty five miles Of the New Mexico and Arizona road aud make it possible to secure an early connection with that road as well as the Sonora Limited, thus opening up all the south to Tucscn. This change We believe is Tn defereuce to the will of the people Of Tucson. a large majority of whom believe that a connection with the above-named roads at Calabasas, is of the utmost import ance to the future growth and perma- nent prosperity Of Tucson and Pimo county. It is believed that this road can be completed in six months from the day work begins, and we believe that fhe necessary arrangements are nearly completed, and that ID a short time we shall be able to announce that work has begun.

The Return of a Jack.knire.

4 gentleman on Lisbon street Satur- ly was talking Of a wonderful return of a jack-kuIte that he lost twenty-five years ago. The gentleman has been visiting the clerk of courts in Lewiston during the last week. He made his jack knife himself upon his own forge, and in his leisure moments covered the bone handle with his initials and num- Der of odd devices. A year after, in the deep snows, on the road to kinsbury, Me, he overlook q mau attempting to tie mp hls sleigh that had broken down. He jumped out to assist the man, lent hIm the jack-kuife, and forgetting it, he rode off without It. He never saw the man again. Fifteen years afterward his daughter married and her husband, struck with the western fever, took trip west and brought up in Minneapolis, Niun. Among the people in that State with whom he came into contact was one who was proverbial- ly hard up. Reduced to straits he had pawned everything. Coming along one day, with d peculIar-loOkiug Jack-knife, he offered 1t for sale. The gentleman bought 1t, and came home soon after. and q day or two after hIs arrival he took tine knife out of his pocket. His wife bounced upon him. With thou sand rapturous expressions Of surprise she demanded to know where he got it. He told her he bought that knife in Minneapolis. She said 1t was "fatEer's Father" was brought in. and the knife was identified as his. No explanation could be offered by the gentleman as to how his own identical jack-knife, lost on country road in Maine, should be found by his son-in-law in the western country. This was ten years ago. The gentleman has the jack-knifs now.- Lewiston (Me.) Journal.

But 'he best we can do is to read about what they say will transpire, which IS as fol- lows:
 It has been determined to give up the whole structure at night 10 this exhlbi- -ion. The contractors for the display say that 1t will be the finest ever wit messed in this country and will be easily seen for ten miles. By tue instructions of Trustee Stranahan there will be no set pieces, as they would look insigni- icant at such great height. The programme Is to include dozens of new fedtures in fireworks. For an hour and a quarter there will be running fire of rockets, bombs and fountains of silver md gold ram. Flights of 800 and 600 rockets of every kind known will go up at once from the middle of the main span and from the tops of the towers. Some of the bombs will he thrown 400 feet above the towers.

REV. HENRY SMITH, Baptist minister ot Canton, Texas, has been convicted O murder in the first degree. for killius Deputy Sheriff Day. of Henderson coun- ty, three years ago. The tragedy grew out of the arrest Of Smiths brother who was charged with stealing cattle. He was sentenced to imprisonment for life. The severest penalty Of the law should at all times be applied to persons who interfere with. or murder an officer Of the law when in the act of discharging his official duty. It has come to such Q pitch, that a man who accepts the posi- tion of marshal, sheriff or constable il some oT the States and Territories, takes his life m his own hands, and the chances are about even that he may be assassinated before the expiration of his term of office. There should b. more respect for :he officers Of the law

THE country democracy of New York have taken sides with General Cleye- land, and denouuce Boss Kelly aud the TammanyItes. The harmony that was expected from the election Of Cleveland has not come. Where there IS no priuci- pie at stake it is hard to bring about peace in any political organization. Boss Kelly and Tammlny Hall care nothing for the party. What they want IS most Of the loayes and fishes, which the coun- try democracy declines to give them. There is lots of fun ahead among the ''unwashed" of New York. IL will re- quire several "barrels to close the gap, and they are now casting about for a man who is wiling and has the "bar- rels' to turn in. No such small-hearted men as English need expect the support of a united democracy in the Empire State at the coming elections.
