The Marriage stone Of spain.

Ireland has it's blarney stone, which
assures to any one kissing it uncommon
eloquence and persuasiveness. Spain
has its marriage stone, the virtues of
which are equally remarkable, for any
single person, male or female, who
touches it, is absolutely sure to be mar
ried within twelvemonth. The stone
forms part of the masonry of the college
of Sacra Monte, in Granada. In 1888
two young ladies paid visit to the old
Moorish capital, and were shown over
the college by one Of the resident
clergy, who acted as cicerone, and who
treated the fair visitors with unusual
difference and respect. When they
came to the marriage stone" the padre
smilingly explained the peculiar powers
with which popular superstition cred
tied it with. "Touch it," said one Of
the ladies to her sister, who laughed
incredulously, but followed the advice
none the less-touching the stone, not
once, but twice or thrice. The two
young ladies were the Spanish infantas,
Dona Isabella and Dona Paz; and the
latter it was who touched the stone.
She did SC on the Sd of April, and she
was married to Prince Louis of Bavaria

Dubuque, Iowa, came across his appf-
cation made to Postmaster. General Ran
dali, June 10, 1886, for postal route
from est. Louis to Dubuque, in the
Territory of Missouri. 1t was sent to
Washington few days after the Post.
MASTER G General had named steamboat
TO carry the mail down the Ohio river
from Pittsburg aud Louisville to st.
Louis, at an expense of 5000 yearly.
General Jones wrote: Sowing to the
breakup in the Spring, mail matter is
sometimes six months in transit from
the East to Illinois, Wisconsin. and
Missouri, and, being carried on horse
back and in open stage wagons, much
of it is lost, and the remainder so badly
worn as to make the addresses on the
letters and newspapers almost illegible.
A steamboat could be secured at An ex.
pense of "a. 900 per season to carry the
mail from st. Louis to Dubuque.
Should at any time the Rock Island and
Keokuk rapids be solow that they could
not be navigated deduction from the
boat-owner's compensation could be
made with which to pay the carrier on
horseback. / recommend that you
adopt the experiment. Give US week.
ly mail for q season at least" The
Generals request was granted, and the
experiment has since been continued
with the addition of mail trains.

soldier FOR Bayonne.

Editor Of Sunday TdttIer The question
has often been put, "Why has not Bayonne,
with apopulation ranging among the five
figures, "a militia company recognized
as such by the State?" It is certain that
the number of young men properly quail
fed who are residents of Bayoune would
form good sized battalion. Many of these
young men depend chiefly on aquatic
sports for amusement and recreation, while
others are connected with the fire COM
panies, and do much good service to the
community. While the benefits resulting
from aquatic sports to those INDUCING in
them, is as unquestionable as the benefit
done by the fire companies to the whole
commuRity, yet it seems that the advan-
tages of either would not be lessened by
giving one evening each week to military
exercises, although it is wen known that to
most men military exercises have a peculiar
fascination. Bayonne is prosperous; she
is rapidly increasing in wealth and popula-
ton, her highways are the best graded and
paved tboroughfares in Hudson County;
she should have the usual adjuncts of pros
peritv.. one of which is militia force. Not
few cities and even towns in the State of
less significance in the census and list of
notables than Bayonne have from fifty to
eighty militiamen. The TATTLER believes
that there are several gentlemen in
Bayonne. any one Of whom could easily
organize d first-class militia company. ANY
effort in the directioA would doubtless
meet with the hearty cooperation of the
Board Of Officers of the Fourth Regiment.
At any rate the matter is worthy of CON
sideration.

What Colonel Hart Has to Say About the

One of the TATTLERs called upon Colonel
Hart. of the Ninth Regiment, at
his place of business in New York
yesterday. The Colonel stated to the re-
porter that he could not give the details or
any information whatever, in the proceed
ings of the Court Of Inquiry, as a Il wit
nesses were instructed to keep quiet for
the present
swell, Colonel What are your views
in regard TO the Conrt2" asked the TAT

Court open to the public, instead of secret,
as have nothing to conceal. was the Col
onels reply. ~ i3as l55o
"Colonel, has either the Governor OF
General Plume said anything to you in re-
gard to the misunderstanding ?"
s'No, sir, !" was the prompt reply. "They
have said nothing to me in regard to it;
when they do am ready 10 appear"
"What about the rumor that you re-
fused to call the Regiment out at the in
aauguration of President Cleveland? pur-
sue the reporter. se
( Inc facts are these. At the next
meeting otthe Board of Officers after the
election, expressed my readiness to call
the command out, but the other ofic rs
did not make any move in.n the
the matter. All was quiet until it was too
late. The whole trouble was sprung from
political prejudice and the statements OF
reporters who did not become fully in

+ ''Most of the staff and number of the
line officers are on my side, and most of
the rank and file are in my favor. Com
pany E presented me with an engrossed

highly" i
Colonel Hart speaks of the difficulty in
his regiment with an impressiveness which
carries with it the conviction that he is
right, and all opposed to him are wrong.

A sEAGE-sTRUCK DOG.
The Lion of the Romany Rye Troupe to be at

The Lion of the ROEnany Rye Troupe to be at
the Academy.
Lion, the noble and beautiful dog used
in the Rominy Rye, is pure breed Ches-
apeake water dog, of which race there is
probably not to exceed fifty thoroughbreds
in the country to-day. He is, in color, a
beautiful fanny brown, with a curly coat,
broad, finely shaped head, and brown
eyes. The dogs history is a most romantic
one He was bred and owned by wealthy
young gentleman of Baltimore, and by him
presented to favorite on the comic opera
stage By her he was given to Signor Cam
panini, the tenor, who took great pains in
training and teaching him. The Signor
after presented him to a friend In New
York city. Shortly after, he disappeared
one morning, and that evening astonished
the Standard Theatre attaches by walking
in with the air of dog who had found his
mission and intended to stay. The dog
was returned to his owner, but in day or
two was back to the theatre. Again he
was returned and again turned up, evil
IDENTIFY determined to be an actor. At
length his owner finding 1t impossible
to keep the dog from running
away, let him stay at the theatre,
WHen the play MAX uulleIs was PHouuoeu
at the Theatre. Lion was put on in the
piece, and the first night made great hit
and leaped into prominence by bit of
business not down in the piece. In the
fire scene a number of the characters in
the play, accompanied by the dog, were to
run across the stage; but Lion, reaching
the centre of the stage ahd seeing the fire.
began to bark furiously, turned and ran off
the stage, and the next minute dashed back
with the empty fire bucket, running frem
one to another performer seemingly amazed
at their Indifference. When the scene
finally changed, the dog, seeing how he
himself under the stage, and it re-
CURED all the responsiveness of the
stage hands to hoax him out. In
one instance, at least, he saved theatre
from destruction, the beautiful new Grand
Opera House in Minneapolis, Mimi, he dis
covered q fire in one of the rooms after the
performance, and called the janitor's atten-.
ton to it by his frantic barking. For this
service he was presented with an elegant
silver collar. His most heroic feat was the
rescuing from the st. Lawrence the little
daughter of Mr. can Chaveau, at Montreal,
last September The strong current carried
both dog and child fully q mile down stream
before they were picked up. Mr.. Chayeau
offered 81, 900 for Lion, but in vain, and
finally presented him with q massive gold
collar set with small brilliants inscribed
with his name and the date September Z,
1884. Lion understands the Italian, French
or English languages. M
