1t is said that Mrs. Vanderbilt will accom-
pany her husband to Italy, and that Mrs.
DIR. Webb is expected to follow later in the
summer. 1t is on the tapis that they. accom-
panied by some friends in England, will
make tour of Switzerland and Italy, and
may possibly visit Spain, which country Mr..
Vanderbilt has great desire to see. While
in Europe he will also visit the studios of
several of the artists with the view of adding
to his present valuable collection of paint
ings. The well-known sculptor, st. Gaudens,
will give his valuable cooperation to this
end, and already various commissions are
spoken of with reference to this special
feature of his visit. 1t is said. by those who
are likely to know, that Mr. Vanderbilt in

by Diaz, in the possession of whose most
valuable works Mr.. Jay Gould is so fortu-

daughters will be presented to the Queen.

A Feeble Democratic Joke.

Boston Herald Qnd)
The Democratic papers are never tired of
ringing changes on their jeers at exPresident
Hayes for Occupying an office to which he
was never elected We should think their
readers would say about this stale stuff, as
the disguised ex-soldier of the Confederacy
did to Jeff Davis's drivel about the lost cause,
"Ohl why can't he let up?' Mr.. Hayes was
declared by the count and the vote of the
two houses of Congress to be elected Presi-
dent, and his ttel was just as lawful as that
of any of his predecessors. This count and
vote were based, it is true, upon the decis-
ions OF the electoral commission. But this
body was created by Congress-Mr. Tildens
representatives in both houses favoring il. Is
it patriotic or manly to submit to arbitration
quarrel that threatens the peace of the ma

they are dead sure to win? Do they bet only
on certainties? In the light of the cipher
dispatches, their chronic cry OF fraud" is
not edfying.

The Sinking of the Alabama.
Charleston Is. % News.


Charleston is so seldom honored with the
visit of a national war vessel that the pres
ence of two in the harbor at one time is quite
an event in the history of the port. The
Kearsage which has been here some DAYS
now and is anchored off the battery, possesses
some interest from her memorable fight with
the Alabama. Thomas Doran, fine-looking,
well-built seaman, about forty years of age,
was pointed out as the only man on board
who had been on the ship in the fight with
the Alabama. Doran was very communi-
cative and kindly entertained the reporter
with what "reminiscences he could recall of
the memorable fight. 81 was" he said. "a

fight took place, and it's been long time

st. Louis Post-Dispatch.

w
The Kentucky code can be understood only
by those who practice it. 1t seems to suit
the roople down there and its hold their
minds is not at all weakened or in any way
affected by the progress of civilization else
where. To all the rest of the world the
Thompson-Davis shooting scrape is ''cele-
brated case" but in Kentucky will probably
be obscured within week by some new
illustration of savagery, and the comments
of unchivalrous outsiders will probably have
no other result except to make the people of
that Commonwealth cling more devotedly to
their peculiar institution.

Romantic but Sad Incident OF the Milwau-
Kaa Fire

Romantic but Sad Incident OF the Milwau-
kee Fire.
With the drifting clouds of smoke and steam
that rise from the ruins of the Inflated Newhall
House, at Milwaukee, there comes also sadly
romantic story in which gentleman from
this city is one of the actors.
Only few months ago Mr.. George Porteous
of this city, who is the son of Mr.. John
Porteous of tho Grand Trunk Railroad, went
to Canada to marry Miss Sutton, to whom he
had been engaged for some time. He remain
ed there some time. His friends waited with
no little wonder at the delay, to hear that the
ceremony had been performed. No word
came, however, and to the surprise Of all, when
at last the groom-elect did return, he
brought with him the sister of the lady to
whom he had been engaged, and for whose
hand he had gone to the Dominion 1t seems
that when Mr.. Porteous reached the home of
his .fancee another had come between them.
She had met and learned to love an actor and
promised to become his wife. This Mr. Por-
teous learned when she had refused him her
hand and given him his liberty. he then
found out that his affection had transferred IT.
self to Miss Sutton's sister, and forthwith he
wooed and won her, returning in triumph with
q bride.
Tho young lady to whom Mr.. Portsous first
intrnsted his heart, no longer fettered with q
betrothal, then gave her heart to Mr.. John
Gilbert, of the Minnie Palmer Company, and
with him went on the boards. This fact was
not known to the wife Of Mr.. Porteous, how
ever. and for several weeks she had been OK :
pecting visit from her sister. When two
days ago the news Of the terrible calamity at
Milwaukee was flashed over the wires, Mrs
Porteous was struck by the name of Mrs. John
Gilbert among the victims, and an investiga-
ton proved the sad facts too true. Her only
sister, the bride of one night, was burned in
the fearf ul death trap.-LouisuiHe (Ky.) dis
