If there is one species of pride that
fills the heart of lovely women to the
exclusion Of all others it is virtue.
And well may she take pride in that
tor it is the jewel OF her soul: it is
the charm which in the eyes of man
makes all the witcheries Of woman.
Without it she is nothing. Take
from the lovelest woman that ever
trod the earth the good name which
belongs to woman in her high estate
and she at once falls like Lucifer,
never to rise again.

During the war Miss N, a beautiful
and spirited Virginian, whose brother
"a Confederate soldier) had been taken
prisoner by the Union forces, was de-
sirous OF obtaining a pass which
would enable her to visit him. Fran
els 2. Blair agreed to secure an au-
dience with the president, but warned
the young and rather impulsive
friend to be very prudent and not let
a word escape her which would be-
tray her Southern sympathies. They
were ushered into the presence Of Mr..
Lincoln and the object for which they
came stated. The tall, grave man
bent down to the petite maiden and
looking searchingly into her face,
said: "You are loyal, of course?"
Her bright eyes flashed. She hesi-
tated a moment, and then with face
eloquent with emotion and honest as
his own, she replied: eyes, loyal to
the hearts core-to Virginia." Mr..
Lincoln kept his intent gaze upon
her for moment longer and then
went to his desk, wrote a line or two
and handed her the paper. With a
bow the interview terminated. Once
outside, the extreme vexation of Mr..
Blair found vent in reproachful
words. "Now, you have done it,"
he said. Didn't warn you to be
very careful. You have only your
self to blame" Miss n. made no re-
ply, but opened the paper. 1t con-
tanned these words.

If Mr.. Blaine is no better prophet
as to other things than he was in the
SackviIle- West matter he may be
classed as the political Virgins of the

at Albany that neither Mr.. Bayard
nor President Cleveland would dare
to send Lord Sackville home, Min

missed by President Cleveland on
the strength of the report made to the

An Explosive nore Distinctive Yet.


w. T. Chamberlain, an American en-
gineer residing in London, paid a visit
to Woolwich in connection with a new
explosive which he is introducing to the
war department. He is the inventor Of
the newest and most powerful explosive
known, namely, chlorine Of nitrogen,
whose destructive effects are terrible in
the extreme, very small quantity doing
infinitely more damage than much
larger amount Of any other explosive in
use. 1t is very sensitive, a very slight
conclusion causing it to explode. He
has moro than once been injured and in
danger of being blown to pieces, but kept
at it, determined to conquer or die in the
attempt.
He has completed a method OF charg.
ing or filling shells and projectiles with
chlorine nitrogen so that they may be
fired from gun using powder with per-
feet safety. Military men competent to
judge in regard to the invention declare
it to be one Of the most remarkable in
vcntions of tho age, and are of the
opinion that if any country had tho mo-
nopely of this invention it could defy
the whole world. The invention, it is
thought, will cause complete change
or revolution in warfare, while for blast
ing or mining purposes it will probably
never be equaled. Mr.. Chamberlain has
had offers from parties on the continent
which he will probably accept in the
event Of not coming to terms with our
own government.-W oolwich eng Ga

NUNS THE WORD.
Such is Evidently the Opinion o

NEWSPAPER REPORTERS.

The State Department, as Yet, Not In
formed That Second Secretary Herb. rt
Has Been Appointed Charge d'Afraires.
Some Doubt About the RepOrt--Wash-
ingtOn News.
WASHINGTON, Nov. THE report that
Lord Sackville has prepared, or is prepar-
ing, statement as to his offense against the
structures of Secretary Bayard, or the harsh
criticisms Of the newspapers, Is denied by
the party who is best able to confirm or
deny it, Lord Sackv lille himself.
His lordship has not shown any disposition
TO come out of his retreat, or to say single
word, good, bad and Indifferent, to the
American public during the past week.
Ever since the afternoon of Tuesday last,
when he received Secretary Bayard's COM
munication informing him that he was no
longer persona grata at this capitol, he has
steadfastly declined not only to talk to
newspaper correspondents, but even TO see
them.
The hall force of household servants has
been instructed to keep all newspaper men
at distance. For some days the porter
would open the door and inform the inqnir.
ing newspaper man that his lordship could
not be seen, and furthermore that his lord
ship had nothing to say. But lstteriy they
have adopted the plan OF not opening the
door at all. His lordships hall porter sits at
the window of the room over the portico,
which he has adopted as a watch tower, and
If 1t Is a newspaper correspondent that calls
he is allowed to ring until he is tired, and
goes away.
A correspondent learned Monday night
that his lordship is still willing to commune
cate with the rest Of mankind by telephone,
thus keeping his interrogation at a safe dis
lance, and talk to him without leaving any
mark that can be hereafter produced in evil
dence against him. His lordship does not
handle the telephone himself, his sprightly
daughter does that and talks at his prompt
ing.
When correspondent was connected by
telephone with the British legation Monday
evening, it was the pleasant voice of Miss
West that gave the responsive "Hello,
there" She kindly informed his lordship
who had rung him up, and he promptly
told her to reply, that he had nothing to
say, but on being informed of report that
he was preparing for publication state
ment in the nature of a reply to Secretary
Bayard's published statement concerning
him, Lord Sackville, through his daughter,
replied distinctly that he was not prepar-
ing, had not prepared and did not intend to
publish anything of the kind.
Those who are best able to Judge of what
man in Lord Sackville's predicament would
do are decidedly of the opinion that he will
not break the silence which he has thus far
maintained until he leaves tho shores Of
America behind him.
Appearances here indicate that the report
from London, announcing the appointment
Of Second Secretary of Legation Herbert as
charge q st.a:ros, was not correct The
state department has not yet been advised in
any way of such appointment

Damascus is sometimes called the

or not this be true, city that can
trace a continuous existance from the

Arma for Hnvti,

New York, Nov. 1.-THE steamer Sag.
inaw sailed from this port Monday after
noon for San Domingo and other Haytian
ports. After her departure a rumor pre-
vailed that she had on board arms, ammu-
milton and other goods, and it is understood
that the Haytian consul at this port made a
request that the Saginaw be overhauled.
The revenue cutter Chandler was sent down
the bay to arrest the steamer If possible, but
was too late and returned to her dock later
in the evening, reporting that she had been
unable to sight the Sag inaw.
