The celebration in New York harbor OF
tho arrival of Bartholdi's Statue Of Liberty
was grand affair. A report says: The
scene in the harbor was one OF the, liveliest
descriptions; nearly every vessel waved the
tri-color and the stars and stripes. When
the vessels that were to escort the French
steamer Isere, which brought over the
Statue to Bedloe's island arrived in the
lower bay the water was swarming with
craft, and as far as the eye could reach
there were vessels without number Every
sort Of vessel had been pressed into service
Soon volumes OF smoke were seen belchiny
forth from the tunnels Of the Iscre, her pro-
peller began to revolve, and she was headed
in the direction of Bedloe's island. The
French man'of.war La Fore headed the pro.
cession. Soon her gunners opened the sa-
lutte Of honor by firing twenty -one guns in
sixty-one seconds. Hardly had the smoke
cleared away from her deck when the United
States man.OfWar Omaha replied with a
broadside. Then the Alliance and the
Powhatan fired their guns. The guns Of
Fort Watlsworth Numbered out a salutcas
the naval procession passed. Such ~ scene
as was then presented has rarely been wit
messed in the bay. One hundred steamers
and yachts, with flying flags a nd strcamprs,
crowded with people, followed the Iscrr.
The music OF a dozen bands noatcd over the
water, while the war ship pa Numbered and the
forts re-echoed with booming guns. The
guests on the Alliance shouted themselves
hOarse.
The French officers of the Isere stood ON
the quarter deck, bowling to the sllutrs
which they heard OH every side. All the
way up the harbor, until the head of the
procession had arrived OF Bcdloe's island,
the shores Of New Jersey and Long Island
resoundcd with the crash ofguns. Itscemcd

the Isere was ut length lowered and had
obtained firm grip, there was more

and seated themselves on the huge stones
The Alliance, after a parting cheer to the
officers OF the 1sere, proceeded an the way
to the Battery, and the party went ashore.
Over two hours after the reverberations oi
the last gun had been heard the boat bear
ing the members Of the American commit
tee and their guests, the officers OF the
French navy, landed at the Battery. The
| mayor, aldermen, Gen. Smaller and staff,
the police commissioners and other civic
dignitaries were in waiting, and as Admiral
Lacombe stepped on shore, the mayor
grasped him warmly by the hand.

number of the Dial, reviews the Poca-

spice of romance which adorns the early
history OF Virginia, and proving that
Captain John Smith was an unscrupu-

was lascivious wanton.
When Gen. Barrios conceived the
idea of marrying, he marched, at the
head of his soldiers, to a convent in
Guatemala, where there was young
and beautiful girl who had taken his
fancy, and demanded of the sisters to
give her up. This was speedily done,
as it was feared that otherwise he
would take her by force and destroy
the convent. This young girl had the
reputation of being the most beautiful
woman in all Guatemala. Barrios car.
ried off his prize and married her.

It is said by an officer, who has excep'

What DR.. Douglas Says Of Grant.

What DR.. Douglas Says OF Grant.
DR.. Douglas, after Grant arrived at
Saratoga told correspondent:
Our only hope OF benefit from this change
is to prolong Gen. Grants lie. His last
two or three days in the city were very
facilitating on account Of the heat, and
his removal was imperative. All that !
can say is that his journey from New York
has been attended with no disastrous con-
sequences. He was very tired last night,
but he has now recovered from it's effects.
He is as we'll as any man can be
who has such a deadly enemy grasp
ing at his throat. Gen. Grant is steadily
following the course marked out for the
disease. 1t is constantly depressing and
gradually wears away the vital powers.
His tendency is to grow weaker and weaker
every day. Tomorrow he will not be so
strong AS no is now, for the disease will have
progressed some; and thus it will continue.

The removal of Gen. Grant from New
York city to the country, was not
made with the expectation that the
change would result in his recovery,
but simply for personal comfort during
the hot weather and possible prolonga-
ton of life. It isstated that DR.. Sands
thinks he will live about three months,
while DR.. Shrady thinks it will he six
months before the end comes. They
agree that there is no hope ofrecoyery,

STATISTICS show that before the in

smallpox annually numbered nearly
5000 for every million inhabitants.
Since the practice has become general
the percentage Of deaths has fallen to
about one-tenth of the former number.

| other girls wouldn't play with ms

ma, and why is some one always tell
ing me that she is not allowed to play

"Never mind, child. Play withyour
doll. 1t won't object"
There's the lady who wouldn't
let her little girl play with me" cried
| the child, as a splendidly dressed wom-
an leading a girl by the hand, came
by, land that's the little girl, too"
The women exchanged glances as
| they passed. No words could have
said so much. The children, too, eyed
each other angrily for ar instant.

you"
"Bah!" returned the other. "Gam-

an with the golden hair to anurse who

The other mother and child of fash
ion had already left the corridor and
were out of sight. The band in the
parlor burst into melody, and the
woman with the golden hair, her jew
els flashing with her every movement
again famed herself leisurely.
How quickly the women at a resort
like this come to know each other. 1
fancy their husbands and brothers
look out for them a good deal. Hus
bands and brothers are great hypoe
critics sometimes. They may be civil
enough to d gamblers wife or daugh-
ter, but a word in the ear of their own
feminine relations is not to be forgot
ten on that account. And a word is
enough. What more could be neces-
sary where women have nothing TODD
but to discuss the characters of II
another all day long? And why is it
that women whom the code of the
world will not permit to mingle with
the respectable element of their sex go
into great hotels where the breath of
life is vanity? In the midst ofathrong
they are always alone, for, curiously
enough, they seem never to associate
with each other. They perhaps find
q vlndictive satisfaction in out-dress-
ing the woman who will not speak to
them. Woman is always a singular
study, and the gamblers wife is the
strangest OF all.
