correspondent telegraphs that general SYM
pathy is manifested toward the Bulgarian

cause will be furthered by any amount of
moral encouragement, if they get nothing
more substantial than that. If they do
not at least ascertain which candidate
would have the support OF the Aus
trian Government, their visit to Vienna
cannot prove altogether satisfac
tory. Yesterday they were received
by Prince Lobanof, the Russian
officer. He told them at once that, as dip
lomatic relations between the Russian and
Bulgarian Governments were broken of,
he could not consider their visit as official.
They asked him to telegraph 10 St. Peters
burg to inquire whether the Government
there would consent to receive them as pri-
vate individuals. Prince Lobanof agreed
TO do so.

TRENTON (N. j., December 10th.-Public
attention here has been diverted from the
Aldermanic scandal by a widely-circulated
report yesterday of a duel said to have
taken place on the Pennsylvania side of the
Delaware river, opposite this city, early
Yesterday morning. The principals in this
affair of honor are said 10 be Trenton
druggist and a sporting man of this city,
and the difficulty which led up to the en-
counter is said to have had its origin in a
dispute as to the rights of the belligerents
to pay court to pretty Jersey belle. The
immediate friends of the interested parties
to the alleged duel decline 10 talk, but
gentleman who said he knew all about the
hostile meeting and how it resulted, said
g There were seven persons in the party,
which left Trenton at dawn yesterday
morning. One of the seconds was a Prince

exchanged went wide of their respective

posing home in the country, although the
new part is behind and wholly subservient
to the old house in which the President
lived. This still remains the head and
front Of the Garfield home, although re-
modelled TO confirm with the addition. A
$4,000 addition to 5000 house is curl
osity in modern architecture, but sentiment
for the past and its illustrious dead inspired
it. There are probably sixty rooms in
both old and new houses. They are fur
nished in modern style and with considera-
bic elegance, and there is an air of aristoc-
racy about the interior which Galfie
in his life did not know in his own home.
Although the house is far in the country it
has all the conveniences of a city home, in
plumbing, gas-ftting and steam-heating.
A natural gas well has been bored on the
farm, and the yard is kept lighted day and
night The main entrance is through the
OLD house. In the hall facing the door is

For tomorrow viii prove but another to-day,
With its measure of joy and sorrow
Then why forecast the trials of life
With much sad and grave persistence,
And wait an watch for a crowd of ills
That as yet have no existence
Strength for to-day; what precious boon
For earnest souls who labor,
For the willing hands that minister
To the needy friend or neighbor.
Strength Tor to-day. that the weary hearts
In the battle for right may quail not
And the eyes bedimmed by bitter tears
In the search tor light may fail not.
Strength for to-day on the down-hill track
For the travellers near the valley,
That up far up on the other side,
Ere long they may safely rally.
Strength for to-day, that our precious youth
May happily shun temptation
And build from the rise to the set of the SUM-
On strong and sure foundation.
Strength for to-day. in house and home
TO practice forbearance sweetly;
To scatter kind words and loving deeds,
Still trusting in GOD completely.
Strength for to-day is all that we need,
As there never will be a tomorrow;
For tomorrow will prove but another to-day,
With its measure of Joy and sorrow.

SAN Francisco, December 1Oth-[Spe-
cial. IA few days ago, in the mud fats of
the bay. near the Potrero, in the southern
part of the city, skeleton was found. This
led to prospecting the locality for means to
identify the bones, with the result that the
next day another skeleton was unearthed,
and to-day large number of bones We're
brought to light. In the CHASTITY collection
there are no less than seven skulls, and the
femers and tibias found represent the re-
mains of fifteen persons. The locality
where the bones were found is
AsTIR WITH TALES
OF foul deeds and wholesale murders. The
fact that two of the skulls have holes in
them is believed to confirm such suppo-
sition. Another theory is that they are
the bones of pauper inmates of some pub
lie institutions that have been dumped into
the bay by men employed to bury them. as
the easiest way OF disposing of them A
full investigation will be made by the
Coroner.
