STORY comes from Vienna which says that
an investigation of an iron safe in the late Duke
of Brunswicks villa at Heitzing which was be-
queathed to tho Duke of Cumberland, and sup
posed to be empty, has revealed the fact that it
contained money to the value of $500, 00O This
tale is not artisticay complete until more de-
tailed reports come in, which will narrate how
the Duke of Cumberland, in an imprecunious and
desperate hour, wandered about his princely cor
rdors contemplating suicide until, his attention
being caught by the peculiar formation of the
safe, he accidentally pressed a secret spring and
found the hidden treasury. These brief cable
dispatches are so unsatisfactory that no editor
of feeling or imaginative powers on this side of
the water should allow them to appear in their
original crude shape. As a matter of justice to
the editor, however, it should be stated that
very seldom is an opportunity lost where the
establishment of such news is possible.

who enjoys great influence with the colored
people of the South. emphatically denounces
Blaine's Augusta speech as demagogical and

the colored voters of the South are utterly
groundless. Boston Herald.
Mr. Blanche K. Bruce does not emphatical-
ly do anything of the kind. On the contrary,
Mr.. Blanche K. Bruce emphatically denounces
the statements that have been put into his

nunciations in the world will not abate
one jot of the force of Mr.. Blaine's

the way in which they treat the returns from
States in which there were fusion movements
against the Republicans. In Michigan, for
instance, it is asserted that while General
Garfield had a plurality of $1,000, Mr..
Blaine had but 5000 leaving the inference
that Mr. Blaine ran 45, 900 votes behind Gar

Michigan is 1000 in excess of the vote re-

than the vote cast for General Alger,

THAT was dreadful experience of the Wash
ington young woman who lost her fur-lined
circular and also her beau by one baeful com
bination of circumstances. The circular was
stolen from the hallway of her residence, and
suspecting a certain colored man of the theft,
she put the police upon his track After going
the rounds of the pawn shops, and finding the
cloak in one of them, they left the track of the
colored brother and took up the trail of better
looking man. Following its devious courses
the detectives finally brought up at the residence
of the young lady who had made the complaint.
The girl herself ushered them in, and received
her rescued garment with ELUSIVE thanks. In
answer to a casual inquiry on the part of the
impudent minions of the law, she informed
them that the young gentleman who was play
ing on the piano in the next room with sdch
grace and vigor was very dear friend of hers.
The officers were sorry to interrupt the music,
but made the acquaintance of the stylish ana
accomplished young man without ceremony,
and in the presence of the latter's admiring
circle drew from him a confession that he had,
under the pressure of financial difficulties. him
self stolen the garment. The shock to the
young woman was so great that she is reported
to have expressed willingness to have lost her
circular forever rather than to have been dis
enchanted with her lover.

THE pathetic story of Camille, if not founded
on fact has, at least had its counterpart in
real life. A few years ago the youthful son of
an admiral fell desperately in love with vari-
ETY. actress then playing in Washington thea
ter. For time his ELUSIVE attentions annoyed
her rather than otherwise, but eventually she
conceived strong affection for him, and when
he proposed matrimony she accepted him and
they were married in due form. The shock to
the young mans family and friends following
the announcement of the event was great They
were in high station in society, and the alli-
ance with one so far beneath them was a
humiliation scarcely to be endured. The ad-
miral visited the new wife several times and
expostulated with her. but produced no visible
effect until he finally explained that his sons
connection with her would not only ruin his
own prospects in life but those of his family
and would be the means of breaking off an advan-
tageous marriage engagement formed by his
sister. The father implored the actress to re-
nounce her husband, and after many tears and
much agitated reflection, she said to him. Sir,
can see that can never be received into your
family. / had intended to renounce the stage
and my present life, and try to live differently,
but it seems no matter what l may do, can
never gain your esteem. I see this young man
has made mistake and I will not compel him
to suffer for it. will leave the city and go
back to the stage; but you must never let your
son see me again That same day she left
Washington for the West Unlike Carmille, she
did not die of grief, and now, perhaps. feels no
regret over her action; the fact however, that
she continues to dance her giddy way on the
stage, gives no man the right to say that her
remuneration caused her no pangs of heartache
This week Washington court divorced the pair,
and it is to be supposed that the aristocratic
admiral and his family, whose name, by the
way, is the unaristocratic one of Jenkins, will
breath freely once more.

Southwark Flow of CAPITAL.

The flow of capital into the southern
states continues at tremendous rate,
and if there is no check to the move
ment the next census will reveal some
wonderful changes in that section of the
republic According to the Baltimore
Manufacturers Record, the money in
vested in new mining and manufactur
ing enterprises in the south since the
list of January this year amounts to the
great sum of S55, 504, 900 The most of
this has gone in the states of Alabama,
Virginia, Kentucky, Texas, Tennessee
and Florida, in the order named. The
heaviest investments of capital have been
in coal mining and iron manufacturing
companies, though considerable por-
ton of this capital has, of course, gone
into various other industries, such as
cotton and wollen mills, flour mills, saw
mills, machine shops, sc. In Alabama,
more than in any other State, mining
and iron making have been the favorite
investments. The apparent fondness
of North Carolinians for small enter
prises is remarkable. There are more
cotton mills in that State then in any
other in the South, and yet, with two ex
ceptions, they are small as compared with
Georgia and South Carolina mills; and
so it is in other branches of manufac-
lures. Factories are increasing by the
dozen, butmost of them are of moder-
ate dcapacity.

the roughs, and, flying into desperate
rage, said if he thought Cartwright
would fight him duel he would chal-

"All right, sir; I'll fight you. And,

tempt to strike me, for if you do,
and the devil gets into me, | shall give
you the worst whipping You ever got in
all your life" That ended 1t.
Another bully threatened to whip the
Rev. Cartwright, who answered, "Sir,
[ never like to live in dread. IF you
really intend to whip me, come and do
it now"
The bully continued his curses and
threats, and the minister jumped off his
horse, and going to him, said, "Look
here, you have to whip me as you threat
ened, or you will have to stop that ours

baptize you in the name of the devil,
for surely you belong to him."
The bully repented, and afterwards,
became one of the preachers best
friends.
