FRENCH INTRIGUES.
The Real Origin of the Central American
Disturbances,

Tho Real Origin of tho Central American
Disturbances.
The Washington Star has the following /:
Before Rear Admiral Jouett, the COM
mander of the North Atlantic station, left
Washington to join his flagship at New Or
leans, he spoke very freely of the impending
troubles in Central America as well as in
Panama, and Of the necessity for
some action on the part of this gov
ernment to protect its interests and
assert its rights. The revolutions in Pana-
ma, which occur with unprecedented fire.
quency he considered as being closely con-
nected with the watlike movements of Pres
ident Barrios, and attributed both to the in
spiration and instigation of the French.
sWe1l have TO take q hand in this matter
sooner or later said the admiral, 'and in my
opinion the sooner the better. 1t is for this
reason that l am so desirous OF send
ing to the seat of troubles all the vessels that
we can muster, and have suggested that
the Tallapoosa, Dispatch and Dolphin all
be sert 20 join my squadron.I want TO
show them that we have some vessels
and do not intend to be walked over
rough shod. The French are going to do
everything in their power to prevent the con-
struction OF any canal but the Panama canal,
and in my opinion Barrios' movements are
not made OF his own accord, but you will find
the French at the bottom of it. They
will stay at the bottom until the time to
come TO the top and then they'll come, and
we had better look out. Now look at that
Panama canal the French have spent mil
lions and intend to spend millions more, and
they do not intend that 1t should be wasted.
To this end they have secured the
ownership of nearly the whole
OF the Panama railroad, and on that
little strip OF land, less than fifty miles wide,
they have massed 1900 workmen. Do you
suppose that there are no French army off,
GERS on the lsthmus of Panama among those
workmen, and do you suppose that every
move we make, or rather thatwe don't make
In not known in France Immediately? IT you
do you are mistaken, and it won't be great
while before you will find out your mis-
take"

Mad as a Fighting Cock.

From the Columbia Herald
Two lively cooking mains" were fought
ON Friday night at a point near York (not
near Columbia, as the Erominer would have
its readers believe), and the Lancaster papers
devote two or three columns TO an interest
ing ~ review, in their respective issues of
the following day. There Is little use for
moralizing on the evils of flash literature
when two such respectable journals as the
INTELLIGENCER and Examiner pander to
the vitiated tastes OF the black-leg and bully,
by reporting their doings under flaming
headlines.

A Po.tofnce Clerk who Doubts His Luck.

w. L. Lawrence, clerk in the mailing
department of the Chicago postoffice, has
received letters from sister in Rochester, N.
Y, telling him that he is one of l49 heirs to
an English estate valued at Sls0,OO0,O OOO Ac-
cording TO these letters the Lawrences are a
branch OF an old English family named Town
ley. As the story goes, his great-grandfath
on bis mothers side was William Townley,
only son of Lord Townley, of Townley Hall.
WiIlism fell in love with his mothers Waiting
maid and eloped with Ger to America, leaving
his heritage behind. He was killed in one Of
the battles of the Revolution. He left two
sons Boas Huntley Townley and Samuel
T0wniey, and the Lawrences are descendants
put much faith in the story, thinking that
possibly the estate is only in the minds of un-
scrupulous lawyers who wish TO get fat fees
for looking into the matter Some of the heirs,
however, are investigating it.

ANOTHER fine residence to grace the

menced. The house is for Mr.. William
Cloud, son Of our esteemed friend Lot
Cloud, and like the majority of Brandy

that his house shall be b1ilt of the
native blue rocks Of the Hundred. The
time is not far distant now when the
rise of the ground extending up from
the river from Edgemoor to Chester
will be q continuous row of stately
mansions. AS Mr.. Cloud is one Of the
solid farmers of Brandy wine Hundred,
the building of such handsome dwell
ling denotes the advanced spirit OF
architecture that Is very commendable
amongst farmers. We have never seen
any good reason why farmers should
not have as fine and handsome resi-
dences as doctors, lawyers and Other
professional men.

WE are afraid that the statement of
Ne Cause, ut the meeting Of the society
for the Prevention Of Cruelty to Chill
dren, held last night, that 1t had been
stated that there were Thousand chill
dren bouad ous in Sussex County,
whose condition was that OF slavery, is
uncomfortably near the truth. The
most of the cases that arise Of inhuman
treatment Of children come from Sussex
County. It must not be inferred from
this, however, that the people of that
county as = general rule abuse bound
children. This blame only applies to a
few, but It does not take many Of them
to absorb thousand children, when
some of them take two and probably
more, as in the Riggin case, at Laurel.
1t is enough to know, however, that
children are shamefully abused, not
only in Sus sex, but all over the State,
and the cries Of the abused little ones
call aloud for vengeance and redress.
The interest and determin alton with
which the Society for the Prevention Of
Cruelty to Children is taking hold Of
this matter, Is in the highest degre,
commendable, aud an enlightened ant
sympathizing public will support 1t IL
the performance Of its important mis-
HOn.

Jumbo, che largest elephant known in
the werld. The childr@. who took
such delight in feeding him peanuts
and orackerk, when 8arnum exhibited
him ever in Tatnalrs lots q few years
ago, will remem Der him kindly. Jumbo
was an elephant Of good parts. He
had . good disposition and with kind
treatment never gave his keeper any
trouble. He WAS never caught getting
up on his ear for every little thing like
the smaR elephants did, but took every
thing good nasuredly, just hike large
people generally do, and this disposition
and his Immense size made him a great
favorlte with everybody. His sad
death has been the talk In princely
parlors and around the table in almost
every farm and workingman' house in
the land the sad event was discussed.
No event has occurred for many years,
which has 80 thoroughly stirred the
hearts Of the children. The poignant
grief of the children might, however,
have been SPACED had the baby ele-
phaut too not have been so badly
wounded that it had to be killed. Well
may they exclsim, so insatiate death,
could'st thou not spare one pet" But,
poos j jumbo Is gone, and no tears Of
sympathy can bring him back. Even
should his skeleton hereafter be exhib-
tied, there will be but little desire
amongst the children to see the naked
bones OF him who was once their pet.
