Foreign Notes.


A correspondent writes to the Alge-
meme Zeitung complaining that his
toric spot noteworthy in the early life
Of medieval Germany is doomed to
disappear beyond recognition. lngel-
helm was fayorite residence Of Char
lemsgue, where be built great palace
and monastery, and laid out pleasure
grounds. From the hill where be had
fixed bis own dwelling he remarked
the early disappearance of the winter
snow from the Johannisberg aud the
slopes of Rudesheim, and he had vines
brought from Italy and planted in these
places, which instinct told him would
produce good wine. This was the first
introduction of the vine into Germany.
Few remains ofthe buildings now exist.
Whist their extent must have been may
be inferred from the fact that from the
Ingelheim hill to the Rhine is fully two
miles, and yet the river is said, in all
accounts, to have washed tho palace
walls. 1t is this hill and immediate
neighborhood which is known among
the people by the name Of "Charle-
magne's Hall" Some pillars were
standing in the last century, bu. they
bave been long since scattered. One
of them is preserved at Mayence. A
great champsgne.grower, NJ. de Barry,
purchased the property some years
since. But he died, and it has passed
into the bands Of a limited-liabiIity
company, who have had the place sur.
veyed, and purpose letting it out in
small peasant holdings.
A PRINCE TURNED WAITER.
Another royal victim Of the vicissi-
tudcs Of fortune is now occupying the
gossips of Milan. His story runs thus:
Leon de Luzignano, prince Of Kori-
cosz, descendant of the kings of Ar
menia, died in Italy in the year 1876.
Up to 1859 be served in the French
army, and was wounded at Sol(erino.
Napoleon III. gave him a pension,
which enabled him to live comfortably.
The pension was paid regularly for ten
years. At that period he was living
with . Milanese beauty, by whom be
bad several children, whom he legally
recognized, but he would never consent
to marry the mother. In 1870, his
pension being stopped, the prince sold
his house, and ultimately fell into the
most abject poverty, when he died.
Three of his children--s girl and two
boys-survived, and were brought up
in a public asylum. The daughter be-
came servant to the Bishop of Bergamo,
but as she would not ALLURE her Greek
faith his Eminence dismissed her. The
eldest son, who bears the title Of his
father, married q peasant girl, and is
now serving as a waiter in one Of the
cafes in Milan.

ton & Maine recovered to 210, Great sFalls S

Centralreaehed the astonishing figure Of I5o
for so shares. Friends Of the Eastern be-
lieve that the common stock Of Eastern will
pay per cent. dividend at no distant day
Careful estimates would indicate that after
all expenses are paid by the Boston& Maine,

decided on Saturday by the directors, and the
clerk issued notice stating that Eastern
railroad holders of certificates Of indebted
ness can obtain preferred stock for their eer-
tifcates TO the amount Of SO, 900, emitting
them to receive the annual net earnings not
exceeding SO share in semi-annual install
ments payable March 1st and September 1st
in preference and priority to common stock,
only the certificates must be deposited with
Ira Higginson q Co., Kidder, Peabody &
Co., and the London agents by IL o'clock
Nov. 23d. If the ss,15O.OOO of preferred stock
edness in excess Of the amount issued will
be returned. If bonds, in excess of the
amount named are rendered exchange will
be made pro rata. Each bond exchanged
must have all unmatured coupons attached
Today the bondholders viii receive a cir
cular from the above named bankers stating
these facts and saying that ten shares Of pre-
ferred stock will be given for each $1,000
bond, and sterling bonds exchanged at par
of exchange.

LABOR TROUBLES.
Lasters to Return to Work.

WHITMAN, Mass, Nov. THE lasters
trouble in this place has been partially set
tied and the men in one Of the shops will re-
turn to work in the morning. A board Of
arbitration, consisting Of District 30 officials
and the advisory Board Of the Lasters' I'm
ion, have not yet met and in all probability
will not until the middle of the week, when
decision will be rendered. The general
opinion prevails that their decision will sus-
tain the lasters in posting their list in vari-
Gus shops. A prominent knight of Labor
said this evening that In his opinion the
outcome of this complex fight would be a
contest between the Knights Of Labor and
the Lasters' Union.

FROM WASHINGTON.
Attorney Generals Opinion on the
Called 3 Per Cent. Bonds.
President Cleveland on His Way to
Boston.

WASHINGTON, Nov. lit is stated on au-
thority that the opinion given by the Attor-
ney General as 70 the unavailability of the
called . per cent. bonds as a basis Of the
national bank circulation will make no
change in the attitude of the Treasury De-
partment, because this opinion only confirm
ed the rule heretofore followed. The bank
acting under this rule have withdrawn from
the deposit and presented for redemption
nearly SAC, ,000. 900 of per cent bonds since
August 10Th, the date of the first $40, ,0OO, ,OOe
call. At the same rate hereafter 1t is ex-
pected that the Withdrawals will keep pace
very fairly with future calls. Against the 3
per cents withdrawn only about SS,000,000
that the total bonds on deposit to secure the
national bank circulation have been reduced
by about $31 ,000, 600, which contracts the cir
culation by about 100000.
II these, proportions are preserved through
out the changes resulting from future calls
of per cent bonds, there may be further
contraction Of about $5s,000, 900 by the time
all these bonds are withdrawn. 1t is said at
the Treasury that this contraction in the
volume OF the national bank circulation will
not be felt in the channels of trade, because
the national bank notes withdrawn from cir
culation will be replaced by disbursements
from the Treasury and in addition the banks
that have surrender bonds and reduce their
circulation receive money for 10 per cent of
the bonds redeemed and five per cent of the
circulation SO surrendered, making 145 per
cent upon the face of the bonds. On August
18th the total amount of per cent bonds
held by banks as a basis for circulation was
little more than S103, 100000 so tina. when
these bonds are all paid their payment will
put in circulation $4,000, 900 more than the
amount of the currency then outstanding on
these bonds. The redemption of the national
banks is very slow. The last report Of the
treasurer showed that he was holding $780,
100000 lawful money for the redemption of
outstanding bank circulation, and of course
the more rapid the surrender of the circula-
ti0n the larger will be the amount required
to be held in the Treasury until people
choose to send notes in and take lawful
money instead.

ANOTHER CRANK.
A Successful Jump from the NJ
agara Suspension Bridge

NIAGARA FALLS, Nov. 7.-Lawrence Don
ovan of New York, jumped from the new
suspension bridge, a little past the centre, at
at 6.55 o'clock this morning. He came from
Buffalo last night, and stayed at the Suspen-
sion bridge. His Ejump was witnessed by
four or five persons. He was accompanied
by Prof Haley and Buffalo reporter He
made the jump successfully-a distance of
100 feet-going straight down, feet first. He
came up somewhat daZed, but struck out for
boat, in which were the reporter and Ha-
ley, and he was taken in and given stimu-
lants. He is not seriously injured, one rib
being probably broken and his hip bruised.
He said before he got out of the water that
he would not jump again for million dol
lars, but afterwards said he would jump
next summer for $1,000. He said he wanted
to Jump at Rochester and quit.
BUFFALO, Nov. 7.-Dsnovan, who jumped
from the Suspension bridge at Niagara Falls
today, is here. He says the river is unusual
" low, and he must have dropped 2l5 feet.
He wore the suit he had on when he leaped
from Brooklyn bridge, and wore his coat un-
buttoned. To the tlatter fact he attributes
his broken rib, as the garment spread out
when he dropped. Donovan says the shock
was terrible when he struck the water, and
as they pulled him into the boat he spit up a
quantity of blood. His doctors say he will
be all right in a day or two.
