Wellington.

An English nobleman writing oil
wellington, just after Waterloo,
says: he is quite unspoilt by sue
cess, gay, frank, and ready to con-
verse"
. He has none of the airs ofa great
man at the head Of a hundred thous-
and men, wrote another; he is full
If life and good-humor"
He rejected the congratulations
offered him after his return TO Brus-
sells from Waterloo, saying: ut was
"a dreadful business; thirty thousand
men destroyed, and a plagued near
thing
.'Oh!i' answered the duke TO d soei-
ely woman who asked him to describe
Waterloo. 1T is very easy done! We
pummelled them. they pnlnmelled US,
and i suppose we pummelled the
hardest, SO we gained the day.
Wellington's head was not turned
by his popularity elf any one be
disposed to grow giddy with popular
applause, he once said, Il think q
glance toward my iron shutters will
soon sober him"
Those iron shutters always re
minded the duke of the fickleness OF
the London mob, and he often re-
ferrcd to them. During the debate on
the Reform Bill, which Wellington
opposed, the London populace, for
getting his services, broke the. win
dows OF Apsley House, his city resi-
denee, and did much injury to his
property. The duke put up iron
shutters to his windows and there
they remained until after his death.
Some time afterward, when he had
regained his popularity, he was fol-
lowed by large crowd of men, who
cheered him heartily.
He received it all with indifference,
but walked his horseto Apsley House.
He dismounted at the gate, gave the
reins to a servant, turned round to
the crowd, pointed to the iron shut
ters, made an ironical bow, and en-
tered the court without saying a

Very Strange Adventure.

Paris Dispatch 10 London Telegraph
young married lady has just met
with an extraordinary adventure. As
she was leaving the horse show at the
Palais de PIndustrie she was accosted
by person OF gentlemanly appear
ance, who. after apologizing for his
intrusion. told her that he had been
asked by her cousin, who was his in
innate friend, To give hersome letters.
1t seems that about two years ago the
lady had been in love with this cous.
in. Her parents objected to the
match, aud married her to somebody
else. She had not set eyes on her
cousin slnce-he had gone off to the
Congo with NJ. de Brazza. Interested
in his career, the lady informed the
stranger that she was driving to the
Bots de Boulpgne, and suggested that
be should follow her in cab. The
couple met in the wood and proceeded
down side walk, the stranger talking
most aifectionateiy to his friend, aud
explaining that he had SO often shown
him his cousins portrait that ne had
no d!tliculty in recognizing her. At
last the lady asked for the letters.
The man rnnlmaged in his pockets,
but instead OF the letters he drew out
a handkerchief and stuffed it into her
mouth. The lady struggled violently
in the arms of her assailant, who at
tempted to throw her down, but. sue.
ceeding in removing the handkerchief,
she cried loudly for help. Sounds o.
footsteps approaching put the strang.
er to fight, and the police are now en-.
gagged in an active investigation OF
this extraordinary affair.

a chastly Cemetery.

itnafIcStOn NEWS anu 10 urief.
Taere has been recently good deal
said in the News and Courier in ref
ererlce to the neglected graves of the
confederate dead in places remote
from Charleston. There are, graves
much nearer home, graves of soldie rs
that need attention; not their graves,
indeed, but the bones OF the once
buried heroes that are now bleaching
in the sun. For the last twenty. three
years the wind has been steadily
sweepjng away the sand in which wei Q
buried numbers of sCldie-s on Morris
lslilnd. Sometimes OILY two or three
of these graves are uncovered at a
time and again as many twenty-five
will be exposed. This is caused by
the shifting oil the winds. The wood
of The collins is in almost every case
deeayed into mould, aud in some
cases there is nothing to show that
thsre was such q thing as a grave but
8 File OF human bones all out OF their
original position. The spot where
thsse remains are upturned is near
Vinegar Hill in full view oEone OF the
bleodiest battle grounds OF The war.
Al reporter for the News and Couri-
er asked an officer OF the lighthouse
Morkris Island recently Il he knew ANY,
thihs et the Origin OF the bones. He
said that he lid net know positively
whether they were the remains OF leu.
eral or confederate soldiers. but there
was one circumstance that caused
hirn to believe they were not confea-
crate remains. Among the bones are
found the eyelet OF oilcloth or
rubber suits. 10 which, he said, the
federal dead were buried. The offic.
er said that it was not the practics OF
thu confederates to bury their dead,
at least on the island, in this manner,
and hence his conclusion. Whether,
however, they be confederates or fel
ers.ls the place might well be made 8

Morrow, of the Agricultural Depart
ment of Illinois University, stated
that those engaged in the improve
menu OF SWINE had been remarkably
successful. Not.in one breed alone,
but in number, there has been ex

qualities desired-rapid growth,
early maturity quiet disposition, and
readiness to lay on flesh Differing in
minor points-color, size, form as to
detail there is comparatively little
essential difference between half-a-

becoming more and more alike.

The Eighty-eights.

From theI.ondon Globe
The eighty-eights in English his
tory not only bring great events, hut
more particularly they bring foreign
invasions." That, says Prof. Seeley,
in Good Words for June, is the con-
elusion which we must arrive at, il
we were to play with chronological
coincidenences. In 1858, the Spanish
armada; in 1858, the landing Of
Dutch William OF course the Span
ish did not kid, but they would
have done so but Tor that fayoring
storm which blew them from cur
coasts. All, yes says the sceptical
reader, but how about 17SS-what
happened then? Well, nothing in
particular; the professor confesses it.
But in 1796 French troops sailed for
Ireland, in 179S they landed there,
and from 1900 to 1906 our danger
rom invasion was greater than it
had been in the days either Of the
armada or of La Hogue These facts
seem to suggest that every hundred
years or thereabouts, England be-
comes subject to catastrophe from
without. We are now in the presence
or another eighty eight, and the
professor asks whether another
period ofconyulsions is due We are
now, he says, very much in that
position which Spain occupied in
1888. In that year, and in the next
two eighty-eights, our islands were
threatened: in 1883 it is not Great
britain but Greater Britain which is
exposed to attack We have, as
Spain had an empire which is TO be
found everywhere, and which is pro-
portionately liable is it to the atten-
ton of an enemy's fleet; while Eng
land itself has reason to be anxious
about its food supply from abroad.
Such considerations are not pre-
cisely novel; but it is interesting to
observe that Mr. Seely, whose pro-
censorship is not of politics, is as
earnest as any politician could be in
his exhortation to Engfshmen not
to pooh-pooh possible calamities,
but look things full in the face and
TO be ready in time"
