Talk.
(By telegraph 10 the Dispatch.l
WASHINGTON, May 23.-Secretary
Whitney has sent the following letter
to John Roach relative to the trial trip
of the Dolphin, which is to take place
next week:
"You will, | think, recognize that
the performances Of the Dolphin thus
far impose upon me the duty of eXer-
cising an unusual degree Of caution in
dealing with her. What would have
been reasonable prudence in me some
weeks since would not be so now. 1t is
quite possible that the difficulties en-
countered in making her go through a
trial trip have been due to accident and
temporary causes, but you would not
now expect her to be accepted
without your having an opportuni-
ty to demonstrate beyond all
question the high character of her
work. understood you to assent to
this proposition in our conversation
Yesterday, and while do not under
stand you now to claim for her the
speed nor horsepower contemplated,
you do insist that so far as your part is
concerned that the plans have been pro-
perly executed. have given orders
in accordance with our arrangement
yesterday for further trial, to be held
under similar conditions to the last, on
Thursday, 28th instant. In addition to
this | must ask that she be put to a
similar run at sea upon such day as you
may name. | do not insist upon her
full horsepower or fifteen knots speed
upon this latter trial. If deemed by
you too trying upon her machinery, a
speed of twelve knots will answer the
conditions under which | wish to place
her. She should be loaded to some
thing near her lines. The expenses OF
this latter trial will be borne by the
Government in case she is accepted"

A Peasant Wedding.

a peasant wedding in Lithuania al
ways takes place on Sunday, and if it
is a grand one the whole church is
lighted up, even the side affairs; it must
be remembered that the Lithuanians
are devout Roman Catholics. The
bride is led in by two young men and
followed by her bridesmaids, who all,
like herself, are in their best dresses
and wear crowns of flowers. The
bridegroom is accompanied by several
young men, and behind the wedding
party are the two mothers. A table
is placed within the sanctuary, having
on it crucifix and candles, and it is
there that the priest stands to unite the
couple, and the bride would be guilty
of very bad manners if she did not
weep the whole time. If she is not in
clined to do SO the old women scold
her. They then GO '.o,l4e and feast fol-
several days and nights, the first enter

mother, the next by that of the bride
groom, after which other relatives fol

A Worcestershire woman, new to
London, had her child christened in
company with the children of some of
her London acquaintance. After the
ceremony, the presence of so many lit
tie ones inspired her with brilliant
idea. Why shouldn't they all have
their portraits taken? She knew a
place where they did them cheaply,
and, what was more, she would defrav
all the expenses. Such an offer was
too good to be lost, and party of a
dozen children-the lady was very par
ticular about their being twelve-at
once started off to the photographer.
The latter was delighted at the pros
pect of large order, and at once set
to work. After some four or five of
the party had been photographed it oc-

party intimating that she was going to

Burdette on Home"

The song of home grew out of a
homeless life, as Milton sang Of light
when he was blind and Bunyan wrote
of the pilgrim progress when man
acled in a prison. There is no place
like home. People who live in board
ing houses sing it. If the daughter of
a Methodist minister remembers the
home of her childhood, her memory
must be a polyglot. Home is woman's
temple. There she is goddess and vo-
tary both. She is also usually janitor.
A man loves his home because it is a
refuge. He also loves it because there
he is great man; there he is governor,
or at least he is ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.
And anyhow he is certain to be secre-
tary of the treasury. The world for
gets Us when we pass away, but the
home love forgets our vices; exagge-
rates our virtues, until they outnumber
the stars in the heavens, and hands
our names down, as long as the estate
holds out.

A Verdure-CIad Country,

A Hainanese landscape has its pecu-
liarities and its beauties. 1t is ALWAYS
green, the outlines are flowing and
varied by distant peaks of volcanic for
nation, the vegetation is luXuriant;
here and there rise above the usual
level cocoanut palms, singly or in clus-
tiers, and an occasional pagoda adds a
touch of sentiment. There is always
enough variety to please the eye and
enough of human interest to CRAFTY
the Imagination. The roads, winding
between thick bamboo hedges, seem
not like the hedge-row lanes of old En-
gland. Hundred of wheelbarrows are
met on the road, of a strange antique
pattern now rarely seen in China-the
man at one end and the creaking
wooden wheel at the other-the load
being either Chinese dame, sitting
astride, with her feet in rope stirrups,
or sugar in sacks, going to be exported
to Hoilhow. Few birds are seen, except
a chattering magple, which is so tame
that it almost alights on your shoulder,
and some of the beautiful brown and
olive-cOlored cattle for which the land
is famous. Beggars are strewn all
dloHS Inc highway, anu DIlnu persons
especially women-are met with
every few hundred yards of the entire
distance. Some ancient Mohammedan
tombs by the roadside and the old
Jesuit mission cemetery-some of the
monuments bearing the dates 1858 and
1856, and about that period-are
among the curious objects which at
tract the notice of the passing traveller.
The almost continuous burying
grounds, the bamboo hedges, and the
frequent vegetation of miscellaneous
kinds would make King-choo-foo a

Chased by Wolves.

The following narrative, related by
an old merchant named Nicolai, is
the story of his own fearful ride on the
first day Of long journey to Moscow
with his wife. After a description of
the inevitable preliminaries-the first
yelp, the louder answering howls, and
the appearance of the murderous pack
in full pursuit, his sudden arming, re-
signing the reins to his wifc-he goes
on:
The terrified horses were now in
mad gallop, their hard painting ming
ling with the quick breathing of the
wolves, now so near that | could dis
tinctly hear it. waited till the fore
most of them were within few yards,
and then fired. The leader of the pack
rolled over upon the snow.
Again discharged my weapon, and
another wolf fell. Immediately the rest
of the pack fell upon their slaughtered
comrades, and tore them to pieces and
devoured them. This gained us a
minute or two of time, but on they
came again.
Again and again I fired and killed,
and again, after brief delay, the
wolves overlook us as before. In this
way discharged all the barrels of my
two revolvers. At the last shot my
wife cried:
II see the lights of the village fire,
Nicolai: shall soon be there. Throw
out the package"
The sledge was laden with samples;
and it was hard, confess, to toss over
all my small bales and parcels to the
wolves. But there was no help for it,
and by the time the whole freight was
on the snow the speed OF our pursuers
had been considerably checked.
Another encouraging cry from my
wife, who held firmly to the reins, her
eyes fixed on the village now in sight.
She did not realize that Ihad exhausted
my. last resource. No, not quite my
last.
/ still had my knife. drew it, and
stood ready as the pack rushed on
again leaving the torn bundles on the
snow. A wolf sprang at me like an
arrow, and struck him with the knife.
The blsod spurted on my cheek as l
flung the dying brute from me. An
other leaped at my hand, and was re-
ceived as his fellow on the same deadly
point
But the hard ''hand-to-hand" fight
ing could not last long, ] was nearly
exhausted by my exertions. Thrussing
out, to rcpel a fresh attack, my hand
missed its aim, and with q horrible
confusion in my head, l sank down in
the bottom Of the sledge, grasping q
huge wolf by the throat. / just heard
my wife's words family as in dream:
1--WE are saved. Nicolaip husbandi
We are saved!' and then ] lost con-
sciousness.
| I afterward learned that the villag-
ers, at our approach, rushed out with
guns, and the wolves fled. ''In another
second" said my wife, "the brute in
the sledge would have done his fatal
work. I'D Year s,s Rassia.
