A Liberal Quaker.

During Lees invasion of Pennsylvania
a confederate captain asked for glass oil
milk, at a Quaker farmhouse. and was
charged two shillings for the same.
81 didn't suppose you Quakers cared
to make money ont of this wicked war, !"
observed the officer, as he wiped his
mouth.
''Thee judges harshly, my friend"
''But two bits for glass of milk is
outrageous"
"Tut! tut! friend. When thee comes
to consider that some of thy comrades
have stolen q COW, and others have
carried off her hay, the charge for the
milk must seem dictated by spirit of
liberality.'
The officer hurried on to take the rest
of it out in beef

WHEN THE STARS FEnL.-The oldest
citizens of Greensboro, Georgia, remem-
bers very well the phenomena of falling
stars that occurred in 1888. We have
heard the following anecdote upon cit
izen who is still resident of our town
quite youth at that time: He was
occupying bed room in store with an
other clerk. and was aroused from his
slumbers by banging at the door calling
out "Get up, Mars Charles! All the
stars are falling" The youth arose with
his comrades, went to the door from
where he saw the meteors falling like
snowfakes. Glancing up to the heavens
he quietly remarked: "Let 'em fall
there appears to be plenty of them left
up thcre!" and forthwith retired.

RIhemen at the Mans1on House.

RIflemen the Mansion House.
 LONDON, July 24.--The American and Can aaian rihemen were entertained at the Man sion House by the Lord Mayor this after noon where sumptuous luncheon was serv- ed. Colonel Howard of the American team and Major Otter of the Canadian team in re- plying to toasts to the health of the teams and the President of the United States grace
 fully acknowledged their appreciation of the cordial reception they had received not only at Wimbledon, but everywhere since their arrival in England. Colonel Howard said the defeat sustained by the Americans could only have the effect of stimulation for fresh efforts. The contests would certainly con
 tinue until victory once more rewarded their exertions The Lord Mayor in referring to the match said that while he was pleased at the success of the English he would be just not to admit that the state of the weather had greatly favored the home team and that under other circumstances the result might have been reversed. He spoke of the great improvement shown by the Americans in l the use of tho military rife and predicted
 that next year it would be a most difficult matter for the English to hold their own.- The numter of invited guests at the luncheon
 was large and prominent among them were a great many noted rlhemen.
 BetrOth ed to an Actrsss-A Young Earrs Choice of Wife.
 LONDON, July 24.-The report is confirmed of the bethrothal of Miss Nellie Fortescue, the favorite actress of the Savoy Theater company, to Lord Arthur William Garmoyle, the second and oldest living son and heir pre- sumptive of Lord Cairns. The young lord is not yet twenty two years of age, having been born December 21, 1861, and has long time
 by his pronounced love of theatricais and constant association with the lights of the stage been in disfavor with his father, the Earl. The prospective groom has, however, the strong sympathy of his younger brothers,
 Herbert John, Wilfred Dallas and Douglass Haly burton, who have also developed preco- cious derelictions for theatricals. Lady Char
 lotte, wife of the Rev. H. Neville Sherbrook, and sister to Lord Cairns, is making 8 tu mutt over what she calls the prospective deg radiation of her brothers family, but the gos sips of the Atheneum and Charlton clubs, to which the present Earl belongs, do not hesi- tate to say that if the young Lord Garmoyle carries out his intention of marrying Miss Fortescue he will do at least as well as his father did in marrying Mary Harriet, daugh- ter of Esquire John MacNeile and that if the actress makes as good a wife the squire's daughter has been no more can be expected, as the latter never failed to bless the family with warrant against extinction at least every two years

Misery for One.

A young and anectionate couple, evidently
 from the country, entered Chapel street res
 taurant last evening. The young man ush-
 cred his fair Sophronia to seat with more pomp than seaside hotel waiter of nine summers experience could assume, and with out deigning to examine the bill of fare, called from memory large and voluminous order which perfectly staggered the waiter in attendance. The young couple enjoyed their supper amazingly and ate with relish, but the young man demurred greatly and waxed exceedingly wroth when the bill was present ed There was sorrow and mourning in the young mans heart as he left the restaurant with the small balance on hand of cents. He was heard to tell his manor ata that they would have to walk home, and, as the way is long, it is to be feared they are travelling yet.

Captain Webb swIms the Rapids.

BUFFALO, July 24.-Captain Webb sue- oessfully accomplished his feat of swimming the whirlpool rapids below Niagara Falls this afternoon. He went in near the Suspension bridge on the American side and came out on the Canadian side below the whirlpool. He was nude except his trunks. He showed no signs of exhaustion, but appeared perfectly fresh when he came out. He went in the water at 2:2O. The time of landing was not taken. When about half way down he says it seemed as if he became entangled with something in the water and he seemed to lose control of himself. Before he had gone much further his stroke showed he had mas tered the water. The; e:;railroads refused to give nything an inducement to draw crowd and the exhibition was nearly private.
 THE CAPTAIN REPORTED TO BE DROWNED.
 LATER-At late hour it is reported that Captain Webb instead of getting through all right was drowned and that his body had not been found up to dark. Owing to the difficulty of communicating with Niagara Falls on account of the strike details cannot be obtained

 ROCHESTER, July 24.-A special despatch to the Morning Herald from Leroy gives de- tails of what looks very much like the mur- der of woman at Roanoke, near that place. The dead body was found lying at the road side by farmer. She had evidently been strangled and thrown on the road An in- quest was held, when it was developed that her name was Mrs. Kilberne and that she was the wife of farmer living short dis tance from Roanoke. He recognized the body ard told story about her going out of the house on hearing the sound of the ap- proach of buggy. She did not come back, although he sat up ali night waiting for her. He traced the course of the buggy to given point by peculiarity of the tire. It trans pired that Mrs. Kilberne was somewhat in- temperate and was in the habit of receiving male visitors on familiar terms at the house. It is supposed she went of with one of these visitors and never returned. The names of some of these visitors are known, but have not been made public

tEsTELLE L. GERARD"

Mrs Gerard states that she leased the old Jacob Ward cottage about nine weeks ago, her health being quite delicate, for rest and quiet during the summer months, her months of study for the stage and subsequent ardu- ous work, together with no pleasant domestic relations, having told upon her health. which was never strong. She ceuses her husband of intense and unwarrantable jealousy, and therefore found it absolutely necessary to live apart from him. MT. Leonard is about twenty-five years of age, and her relations with him are claimed by her to be innocent. Mir. Leonard's statement is that he is un- married his wife having procured divorce from him, and that after they had been mar ried a few months he ascertained that she had husband in point of law, having never been properly divorced from him. Mir. Gerard stated to parties yesterday that when the case comes in court his claims will be sustained
