A Big Bill tor Wedding Dress.

The wedding dress of the lnianta Eulalia,
the bride of Prince Antoine de Montpensier,
appears TO be causing her princely father in
law good deal ofannoyance. 1t was he who
presented the dress in question to his niece
and uaughter-in-law. 1t was an elaborate
and costly robe of lace, the pattern presenting
IN Its lntricacies represen tation of the arms
OF all the provinces OF Spain. The Duke de
Montpensier ordered the toilette and the veil
from one of the leading dressmakers of
Madrid, stipulating that every portion of il
should be manufactured in Spain. as he
wished to encourage Spanish industries
The dress came home, was approved OF, and
worn, and then the duke received the bill
for 1t, amounting to $4,000! Naturally con.
sidering that sum rather expressive price,
even for the wedding dress of princess, he
refused to pay it. The dressmaker sued the
duke, and in the course OF the trial
the fact was evolved that the lace had never
been made in Spain at all, but had
been furnished by famous mandatory in
BRUSSELS, and had cost Just $4,000. The duke
bas deposited SS,O 900 in the hands OF the presi-
ding judge OF the court, and has declared his
Willingness to stand suit to any amount
rather than pay such an iniquitous demand,
his indignation at the oyercharge being
naturally aggravated by the ilagrant neglect
OF his orders. There are some places in Spain
where very beautiful lace is still made,
though the once celebrated factories OF
Al bufero and Barcelona .have lost their SUI
premacy.

TO sTOCK AN OSTRICH FARM
The Strange Tropical Cargo OF IA Sorwegis
Schooner

The Strange Tropical Cargo OF IA Norwegian
Schooner.
The Norwegian schooner Praecis Stavange
has arrived in Galveston, Texas, after two
months voyage from Africa. She brought a
strange cargo to the New World, consisting
of ostriches, monkeys, parrots, tropical birds
and last but not least, among her curiositles
are five natives of Madras, India, including
one female. The entire outfit is destined for
California, and belongs to DIR. c. J. Sketchley
Of Los Angeles, the well-known ostrich
farmer. DR.. Sketchley sailed from Port Ma
tai, Africa, on January "a lie had 10 full
ownostriches when he started, but only SO
survived the passage. While on the African
coast, between Natal and Cape town, the Sta
vange encountered three days of pretty rough
weather, and the giant birds all became very
sick from the motion of the vessel, and two
thirds of the loss occurred during the first
ten days OF the voyage. The doctor says that
after the ostriches got their sea legs no more
deaths occurred. The ostriches are the finest
lot ever taken from Africa, as each bird has
pedigree, which enhances its value among
ostrich breeders, just as the pedigree of race
horses and cows enhance their value. Sketch
ley says they are the best breed OF ostriches
known to the natives.
The birds range from to 10 feet high. and
are about 10 years old, having Just attai ned
their full growth. They are not wild. While
unloading them from the vessel to-day, one
unusually big ostrich became frightened as
he was drawn up the hatchway, and when a
couple OF sailors approached to move him
from the box he gave each one of them a
gentle kick on the breast that hurled them
against the side of the vessel as though every
bone in their bodies would break. The Malay
in immediate charge of the birds said that II
the ostrich had struck the men with the full
swing of its leg it would have killed them
sure. The natives spoke to the bird and Wis
IDLY calmed its excitement very much as We
control a horse. The ostriches will be given
a rest here in the park for several days then
loaded on cars specially prepared and taken
to Sketchley's ostrich farm, four miles from
Los Angeles.
The Hindus were greatly excited when
they came in sight of Galveston, the city
being visible 80 miles oil. The captain SAYS
they ran from one end of the vessel 10 the
other, carried away with the sight of land
again. The woman has a mans brass scarf
pin neatly hooked through the right lobe of
her nose. A red glass gem orp aments the
pin and her nose. Her hair is coal black
and hangs below her waist when down.
Her features are clear cut and irregular. The
men wear white turbans, and were the CEN
tire of attraction for several thousand people
who gathered to watch the unloading of the
ostriches The Madrasses will accompany
Sketchley to California and reside perma-
nently with him.

DRIFT.

THE man of one book, against whom the
old Latin proverb warns us, is inferior TO
the man of one literature only in the degree
OF the one.sidedness and incompleteness OF
his culture As an eminent American
writer says, "An intelligent comprehension
OF our needs in the choice of books should
certainly include due attention to the litera-
ture of France, or Germany, or Italy, or
Greece, or Spain ;-or, in other words, such
a comprehension should never forget that
good literature is not an insular affair, bound
Ell by the limits of one country, or 10y the
letters of one language OF course 1t is both
natural and proper that the greater part OF
our reading should be of books OF American
or English authorship; but our culture and
training will be greatly impoverished If, be
cause of partial or complete uniamiliarity
with the languages in which they wrote, we
take no account Of Homer, or Virgil, or
Dante, or Goethe"

II such simple translations from the Ger
man are thus erroneous, what can we expect
when 1t comes to translations from Ian
guage like the Russian, or still worse trans
lations of French translation of the Rus
sian? What sad work has thus been made
of some of Turgenefi's mastery productions
is well known. But a writer in The Nation
points out that the treatment Of Count Tolls
tots War and Peace, in the translation from
a French version, recently brought out in
this country by t. y. Crowell, of New York,
Is even worse. "a number Of short sem
tences are constantly welded into one long
phrase paragraphs are turned upside down;
conversation is changed intodescription, and
Vice versa. Sentences belonging to two sep
arate individuals have been united, thus
putting the conversation which follows into
the mouths OF wrong persons. Omissions,
ranging from a significant ad lective to page
in length, and ineXcusabe interpretations,
this seems to rest about evenly on the French
and the American translator. Thus the
former lmakes the princess play sonata
from DreyschOck, which composer was not
born till ISIS, fourteen years after the time
of the scene describedl Dussek was the
composer named in the original. So the
Frenchman transforms a "Dragoon of the
Russian into Dreadful Dragon" But
the American translator is Just as culpable
in the creation of anachronisms. When Tolls
to speaks of Bonaparte's success as due to
the fact that "there were no longer any Po-
Jenkins and Suvarofis," he is made to say
in the English that Bonaparte's success was
owing 10 i" the incapacity of Potemkin and
Souwarow," both of whom were dead long
before the time referred to. The Americans
forte seems to be the Interpolation of phrases
and sentences Of which neither the Russian
original nor the French version knows any
thing and the most of them are slang or yul-
garisms, probably introduced to maxi 9 the
book stake" better in this country.

THERE is perhaps some excuse for the pre-.
valent great neglect of the contemporary lit.
erature of other lands in the fear, only too
well grounded, that in reading trauslations
Of its works we are apt to be grievously led
astray. The objection is not against transla-
tons simply because they are translations.
l believe on this subject most of us agree
with Emerson, who declares, Z" should As
soon think of swimming across Charles river
when / wish to go to Boston, as of reading
all my books in originals, when | have them
rendered for me in mynative mother tongue
But we have so many instances of conscience
less translations that we have become timid
and disgusted, we are afraid OF being cheated,
of getting only the style and even sentiments
of some second-rate hack-trsnslator instead
ot the genuine expression of the original au-
thor's own mind and heart.

| HAVE referred to these most recent ex-
amples of mistranslation and misrepTesenta-
ton Of foreign authors, not to discourage the
reading of transations by any means, for
think that as general rula we all can better
become acquainted with the literature of
other lands, ancient and modern, by the use
of translations than by wrestling with it
armed with grammar and dictionary But
j want to caution against accepting any and
every translation that appears more than
this, | want to warn against nearly all the
translations Of contemporary foreign works.
If we wish to read only or chiefly for the
sake Of the literature, We really have no
need whatever 10 run the risk of being mis-
led by transators. The best specimens of
foreign literature, the cream OF it, we have in
exceptional versions by masters of our own.
Indeed America has produced some of the
most perfect translations of the ancient and
modern masters in existence. Where can
we find anything more perfect than Bryanrs
Homer? i believe that we can get a more
true conception of the old Greek spirit and
the old Greek literature as such from a care
full reading of this version than from years
OF what has been called a " mere verbal grub
bing over the grammar and dictionary"
Where ia there better translation OF Dante
than that of our own LongfellOw? With so
faithful a transfer of the spirit and letter of
the great Italian accessible to all, there is no
excuse for any one to be ignorant of the best
in Italian literature.
