Madame Valleria at Home.


The first door to the right, near the porch.
is that of Madame Valleria's little study.
where she spends most of her time when
she is not riding to covert-side on Comet or
Fencer tending her roses, looking after the
well-befng of her Aldeney cows and prize
chickens, or driving Dot i'm her pony-cart
along the shady and sweet-scented Leices-
tershire lanes. 1t is here, dressed i'm a cool.
cream-colored Persian silk, trimmed with
Old lace, with fine diamond and catseve
brooch as almost her only ornament. and a
pam straw hat and pair of gardening
gloves on chair by her side, you are most

Bosworth house.
The contrast between her Leicestersbire
home and Drury Lane is varv St,;I,;,,r-
one, and it is difficult to saw whether Al,
wilma Valleria loves more dearly tba COLL
ing of her choice or the congeniaI nIeasnras
of country life. Into both she hringS tbat
dauntless determination and pluck which
her unafected manners, womanIv simnIie-
ity and tallle so little betoken. and which
gain her SO often the enthusiastic annlauSa
of an admiring audience, the brush in tbe
huuting field, and the best medals 81

chickens or her Alderney cows. ssI love
the country very dearly" says Madame

Mexico Will Not Self Out.

WASHINGTON, July 21.-''The idea is
preposterous," said the Mexican minister
tonight to a reporter who asked him if
there was any truth in the story published
some days ago, that the Mexican govern
ment proposed selling part of its territory
to the United States. There's not the
slightest foundation for the story"
continued Senior Romero. 1.-THE Mexi-
can government does not think of
selling any of its territory to the
United States or any other power. L was
satisfied when 1 read the statement it was
untrue, and since have seen in the Off
cial papers of the Mexican government that
it is false. The financial condition of Mex
leo is not so bad as was that of the United
States during the war of the rebel
lion, and it is as absurd TO
think that Mexico would sell a
portion of her territory to the United States,
because of her present financial difficult
ties, which will soon pass over. rs it would
have been to say that the United States
northern territory TO England TO increase
the size of Canada, because they
happened to be i'm financial diff
culties. Mexico is as proud a nation
as the United States and her people as
patriotic. No government could stand in
Mexico which was willing to entertain any
such proposition" SenOr Romero thinks
the story originated with some parties who
own lands in the northern states of Mexico
who would like to sell those lands, and
saws he is sure it did not come from
Mexico.

Enrolling the Indians.

FT. RENO, Kan, July 21.-The enroll
ment of Indians began this morning, as
appointed. The Arapahoes number 1,5OO,
instead of $500, and the Cheyennes will
not show over 5000 people. The Indians
offered to give up all their
arms and horses to the commissioner, who
refused them because, as they received
money, they could go to Caldwell and buy
more. Agent Dyer has rendered his reSig-
nation, claiming that he has not proper sup
port from the department in
enforcing law and order among
refractory Indians. Should his
resignation be accepted and a new agent
appointed, it is uncertain whether the In
dians would be Obedient to his order or not.
The troops are Deing gradually withdrawn
from here to their proper stations. Troop
1 of the Fifth cavalry has gone to Fort
Supply. and A of the Twenty-fourth in
fantry for temporary duty at CantOnment.
Others will start in a day or two.

Gross CareIessness.

WASHINGTON, July 21.-A package con-
tanning five certificates of transfer, each of
the denomination of SO, 900, sent from the
office of the register of the treasury last
night to that of the comptroller of the cur
rency, was inadvertently left in the office
of the deputy comptroller upon the top of
the safe. The package was found by the
chair woman and carried TO the lieutenant
of the watch. The deputy comptroller was
sent for and went to the treasury at once.
Upon examination OF the package only four
of the certificates were found enclosed, and
a search was at once instituted, resulting
in finding the missing certificate among
waste paper, and much crumpled up. The
certificates have something the appearance
of government bonds, and one of the theo-
rieS advanced is that some one undertook
to steal one, but finding il worthless, or
that he or she was likely TO be searched be-
fore leaving the building, hastily threw it
away. Some Inconvenience would have
resulted from the loss of the paper. but the
government would have lost nothing of
value nor would the assumed thief have
been gamer. The comptroller will inves-
tigate the matter as thoroughly as possible.

GEN. GRANT rs SINKING

Mt. McGREGoR, n. Y, July 21.-At
7:45 Gen. Grant seemed to be sinking. AT
9 o'clock he was sitting up in the cottage
parlor and appeared little easier. An
hour.later DR.. Douglas thought there was
a slight rally, and said he had known pa
tients in the generals condition to survive
several days. Though Gen. Grant was
greatly exhausted by the jolting ride in his
bath chair on Monday afternoon, it
was believed this morning that the eight
hours of natural sleep obtained by him last
night had restored portion of the energy
lost by him during his outing. The belief
that the general had in measure recovered
from his undue fatigue was supported by a
refreshed and somewhat brighter appear
ance. His pulse had scarcely the
volume it had at II o'clock last
night, and as the morning wore

IFALCORNIA,s GOLD KINGS.
The Inscriptions Fair--WhiSkY
Drinking O,Rriem.

Fair is credited with being the sharpest
and most unscrupulous of all the bonanza
millionaires. Old Uncle Billy O'Brien
never had any capacity except for
drinking whisky, and his chief service in his
last years was to ornament the front of the
bank, leaning against one of the big pillars
and giving out false pointers" in stocks
to the credulous crowd who believed
that he had inside information of rich
strikes of ore. He died and his sole me-
mortal is huge granite and marble slab in
the Catholic cemetery, for the erection of
which he had the shrewdness to leave in
his will handsome sum. Flood is as
Square-dealing as a man who manipulateS
mining stocks can be, and his word is said
to be as good as his bond in any business
transaction. Mackey is more popular here
than Flood, api there is even more con-
fidence III his integrity. Like Flood, he Is
very reticent and has great disin-
clination to any nOtoriety, never appear
ing in the newspapers when he can avoid it.
Personally he does not spend 50, 500 year
upon himself, as he dresses very plainly in
a slOuch hat and ordinary business suit, but
it must take the revenues of millionaire to
meet the bills of his wife in Paris. Flood
is also very simple in his own tastes, and is
seldom seen at any place of amusement, but
he has an expensive family and is building
brown-stone palace on Mob hill, which
will cost 81, 900, 900 before it is completed
and urnished.
The Nevada silver senator keeps no es-
tabliShment since his wife secured divorce
and "a, 500, 900 of the common property.
Public opinion was against him at the time
of the divorce suit of his wife and nothing
since has changed it. She has lived quietly
with her children in her handsome residence
on Pine street, few blocks beyond the
railroad millionaire's palaces. She goes
into the best society and gives very hand
some entertainments. The secret or
success is not that she has edu-
cation or culture, but that she
is without any pretenSe and is woman OF
much social tact and common sense. She
has upon more than one occasion admlnls-
tered well-deServed rebukes to some or the
nouveaux riches who have made themselves
offensive at her receptions. Her charltleS
are many and unoStentatious. ABOUT
year ago there were rumorS Oh her ap-
preaching marriage to journalist who was
| ALWAYS welcome guest at her receptions, Dut
| as their relations haven't changed in this time
| this is, perhaps, the best refutation OF the
| truth of the rumorS. The senator, mean
while, has prepared fine lot on the
crest of Mob hill ready for building, but
no one can learn anything of his plans.
Rumor last year was busy in coupling his
name with that of Miss Annie Carpenter,
the niece of Tom Fitch of Arizona, the sill
ver-tongued orator, but If Fair has any mat
rimonial intentions he has kept them, with
his good qualities, hid under bushel.-Ex.

HUNTINGTON, Pa. July 21.-At o'clock
last night another frightful explosion oc-
CURED on the South Pennsylvania railroad
at Sheepskin Hollow cut one and half
miles south of Ft. Littleton, Fulton county,
instantly killing one Hungarian and
two Italians, and probably fatally injuring
John Martin, foreman, and an unknown
negro. Owing to the remote locality of
the scene of the accident but little intelli-
gence can be obtained, though the accident
is said to have occurred through the negli-
gence of workmen preparing a blast.
Those killed were horribly mutilated.

Blaine says: MANY forms has aris-

an aristocracy of talent is one
whose patients may be indefinitely multi
piled with safety to the republic. If Vir-
ginians retain their traditional respect foI

strate it by giving their ballots for John
Sergeant Wise. Your canvass will, am
sure, be brilliant and 1 believe successful. u

RIEL,s TRIAL POSTPONED.
More Witnesses and Documents
Wanted.


Special to the Globe.
WINNIPEG, July 21.-Riel's counsel to-
day made application for an adjournment
of the trial in order to get necessary wit
nesses and documents for evidence in
defense. They complained that they had
been prevented from cOnversing with the
witnesses of the crown, some of whom
were likely to be called also as witnesses
for the defense. They wanted safe
conduct for DumOnt and DUMAS from
Montana, and also an order from the court
to the departmental officers at Ottawa to
produce certain documents now in custody
there relating to the rebellion. Counsel for
the crown replied that the court would aid in
obtaining witnesses desired by the defense
and Brown, would bear the expense of
bringing them to Regina, but guarantee
of safe conduct to Dumont and DUMAS
could not be given. The pro-
ductiOn of the documents asked for
was also denied on the ground that it would
disclose matters which must be kept secret
in the interest of state. Finally an adj
jOurnment of one week was agreed to, the
trial to proceed next Tuesday.
