THREE or four years ago when the young and
beautiful daughter of Ex-Governor Hubbard, of
Connecticut married her fathers eoachman,
many were the predictions that only sorrow and
shame could come OF such a union. 1t was NOT
that coachmen were necessarily vulgar or base,
nor that Governors daughters were invariably
refined or well bred, but society was not dis
posed to look kindly upon such a match. The
young man in the case had no bad habits but
was llliterate, and it was while teaching HIM to
read and write that the girl became enamored of
the occupation and showed a Willingness to be-
come permanent tutor. After the marriage
the young wife's father disowned her, but hav-
ing some property of her own, the couple set

No type is used on this paper, and the absence

first copy and took the impressions last week re-

artist decided TO quit. He couldn't pie any
type, but he could and did walk off with the

THE latest explanation of the Lady Florence
Dixie affair, and the one which is said to be ac-
cepted by London society circles is that she
was actually assaulted by two men who rub
bed mud in her face and tore her clothes, but
who had no intention of harming her, being
her husband ana brother in disguise. The
brother is rather an eccentric genius, and the
husband, perhaps from intimate association
with the family, partakes of similar peculiari-
ties. 1t is supposed that the two men were tired
of the public notice Lady Florence had been
receiving, and took this method of frightening
her into silence Like the old woman in the
story, however, the lady is one who will never
keep quiet, and the male members of her family
probably wish they had let her alone By this
version of the affair the silence of the gardener

AFFAIRS IN RUSSIA.

The Government has not COM
municated as yet to the Russian
Embassies the day of the coronation
of the Car. 1t is now affirmed that
the ceremony will not take place
before the 10th Of June. Notwith-
standing the economies suggested
by the Emperor, it appears that the
expenses for the coronation will be
something fabulous. The question
is being discussed whether news
paper reporters are to receive details
for the festivities. On the proposal
of M. Katkof and NJ. Pobedonoseff,
Count Tolstoi had resolved that
newspaper reporters should not be
admitted to the ceremonies, but that
special office would be established
for communicating all the news to
members of the press. This idea
meets with great opposition even
from among the Ambassadors.
1t is now officially announced that
Prince Abdoussamed-Mi Mira, brother
of the Shah of Persia, the Khan of
Khiva, the sons of the Emir of
Bokhara, and the son of the Emir of
Kashgar, as we'll as q deputatlon OF
the different nationalities of the Tur-
kestan, will be present at the corona
= ton. The news that the Shah OF
Persia will be present is not con-
frmed. After the return of their
Majesties to st. Petersburg twelve
great balls will be given in the capital.
Balls, at which their Majesties will
be present, will be given by the Am
bassadors. Great festivities, with
free admission, will take place in the
Champ de Mars and at the theatres
of st. Petersburg during two whole
weeks. A great public festival and
illumination will take place at Peter
hof.
Arrangements have been made for
sending to Moscow, by means OF
twenty-five special trains, all the
material necessary for the celebration
of the coronation, including 500
horses, the gala carriages, and 5000
servants. The Kremlin at Moscow
has been illuminated in part by the
electric light for an experiment.
The results were most satisfactory.

A very interesting pamphlet on
the mungoose, now being employed
in the sugar estates in the West In
dies, has Just been published by Mr..
D. Morris, director of the public gar
dens and plantations, Jamaica. The
experience gained may be of some
use in those parts of Australia where
the common rabbit is a pest. The
mungoose has now become thorough
ly naturalised in Jamaica and Bar
BADGES. 1t had been estimated that
the loss on the sugar estates of ia
maica from the depredations of rats
amounted to 100000 per annum.
Some of the best estates had actually
been thrown out of cultivation
through them, but since the intro
duction of the mungoose from the
East Indies, these estates have gra-
dually been taken up again. Mr..
Morris puts the annual saving from
the use of these animals at 80 per
cent of the rat-catching expenses,
and at rs to 80 per cent, of rat-eaten
sugar canes. This would represent
a total saving to the island of Jamai-
ca alone of nearly 945,O0O per an

hollow lines whatever. The frames
beginning at each side of the keel
rise directly at an angle of about 40
degrees to the waterline, and then
curve inward to form the arch over
the deck. The fullest section is
exactly amidships, and the wedge
from is preserved throughout the
entire length, both ends of the hull
being precisely alike. The dome is
formed so as to afford long deck
for promenade purposes, reaching
from stem to stern, and with no
erections save the dome-shaped pilot
house, the companion-way funnees
and ventilators. All below the main
deck will be occupied by cargo, coal
and engine, spar the deck alone being
for passengers. The salnoos will be
the whole width of the vessel, and
the state rooms ranged along the
sides, with their ceiling formed by
the archcd promenade or dome deck.
Arrangements for lighting and venti-
lating the various compartments will
br efficiently carried out on principles
adaptable to the main features of the
design. In the construction of the
hull great strength has been obtained
by sn arrangement of deep keelsons
or hog-frames placed side by side,
and running throughout her entire
length. The vessel is without mast
or sails, the engines alone being
depended on for propulsion. In the
case of large steamships, however,
built on the same principle, the
want of sail-power will be COM
pensated for by two extra engines
and two supplementary screws, which
may be at once brought into requi-
sition, in the event of the longer
screw being lost, Or of the main
engines breaking down. The engines
to be fitted ia the Meteor are Of n
novel type. They will be double
compound--that is, there will he two
compound engines, each having two
cylinders, the highpressure one being
placed within the lowpressure. Sup
erheated steam of 400 lib. pressure will
be received from the boiler by the
outer cylinder, delivering it directly
to the inner cylinder at a pressure of
200 lb. The engines will only occu-
by space in the engineroom 8 feet
square by 4 feet in height, but will
have q horsepower of over 1900.
The engines will have a Whitehall
condenser fitted with 4 miles Of
nickel-plated tubing. The boilers
will be upright, with vertical water
tubes hanging down into the COM
bustion chamber, all being joined at
intervals by horizontal tubes. After
minute examination of the vessel
in all her parts, veteran sea captain,
we are told who had sailed one OF
the swiftest of Baltimore clippers on
many voyage, said to the inventor
of the Meteor, F" Well, if you don't
get your rs miles an hour it will be
the fault of the machinery, for you
have got the ship here;" to which he
replied, "We are going to have the
machinery too, as Mr.. Reed in
Brooklyn can show YOU" Melbourne
