TWO THOROUGH HATERS.
The Duke Of Cumberland and Germany's
Iron Chancellor.

The Duke OF Cumberland and Germany's
Iron Chancellor.
Bismarck and the Duke of Cumber-
land hate zach other about as thor
oughly us any two men in the world.
The Duke of Cumberland is the son of
the blind King of Hanover, whom Bis
marcl deposed in 1866, who fled to
Vienna, and whose dominions were an
neXed to the kingdom of Prussia after
the peace of Sadowa. Bismarck not
only seized Hanover and all the public
property but he put his paws upon
so, 600 of private funds belonging
to the King.
His eldest son and heir. the Duke of
Cumberland, regarded that as mon
strous injustice, and other statesmen
have held to the same opinion. But
when the Duke of Brunswick died
he willed all his personal property,
$4,000, 600, to his cousin, the present
Duke of Cumberland. 1t was so placed
that Bismarck could not get hold of
that, but the Duke was kept out of the
Duchy of Brunswick because Bismarck
considered that he would be danger
Gus subject in Germany.
But Bismarck, knowing that the
Duke of Cumberland would be always
the center of disatfection in Germany,
wants to give him crown in some dis
tant country. So the Chancellor has
proposed to the Duke to accept the
crown of Bulgaria. The Duke replied
that he considered the proposal an in
suit; that he was the legitimate King
OF Hanover, and that he hoped to live
to see the time when Prussia would be
shorn of her fictitious greatness.
The Duke, having married Princess
Ihyrra, the youngest daughter of the
King of Denmark, is brother-in-law
of the Prince of Wales and the Gar of
Russia, and this makes Bismarck the
more anxious to placate him by
crown bauble. But the Duke does not
forget that Bismarck tried to prevent
his match with Thyrra, intimating that
it would be an unfriendly act on the
part of Denmark to allow one Cd its
Princesses to marry person who was
constantly scheming to recover the
kingdom of Hanover.
Though the Duke of Cumberland is
one of the wealthiest men in the world,
he is said to be one of the unhappiest,
because he can not reobtain his crown.

A DISSOLViNG ISLAND.

scientists Say That 1T Shrank Twenty-One
Miles in Seven Years.
One OF the most interesting studies
to which ocean navigators have had
their attention drawn within the last
few years has been the rapid disap-
pcaIance by the action of the sea of
Sable Island which lies in the direct
path OF all transatlantic shipping
bound to Philadelphia and New York.
The branch photographic office in this
city has just been served with notice
by the British Government that one of
the lighthouses that flashes its RAYS
from the island for the guidance of
sea-going vessels has been under
mined, and must be taken down and
removed to a site further inland. At
present the sea threatens to demolish
the light and the tower.
Sable Island is situated in latitude
43 deg. 80 min, longitude 80 deg. AZ
min, and when the imperilcd light
house was erected consisted of tract
of low and sandy soil about twenty-five
miles in length, upon which no vegeta-
ton but a dwarf species of cranberry
sailed from Halifax, Novia Scotia. re-
Gently with men and materials to begin
the erection of a temporary light on "a
more sheltered site. This work will
be prosecuted with dispatch, and by
reason OF the marvelously quick in
roads that the sea is making it is not
believed that much time will elapse
before another removal will be neces-
sary.
From surveys made by an English
war vessel it has been learned that
within period of seven or eight years
the length of the island has been
gradually reduced from forty to nine
teen and half miles, and that its
width has fallen away from two and
half to less than one mile. The mas
ter of the surveying vessel says that
the future of the island is any thing
burt cheering for the navigator to con
template, and should the oceans raw
ages continue with their present de-
structive force, it will not be long be-
fore the sea will have clean sweep,
and there will not be even a shoal left
to mark the spot where once was seen
twenty-five miles of clear land.
With the disappearance of the light,
every ocean chart now in service will
become valueless if not corrected, and
life and property will be greatly i'm
periled. A recent survey has shown
that the charts are at least ten miles
wrong on the outer portion of the
island, and that sand-hills represented
as being $50 feet high do not exist at
all. Other changes in the topography
of the island are believed to have taken
place within a recent period, of which
mariners have no knowledge.-Phtia-

THE BROWNING FAMILY.
How the Poets Impressed Their House,
keeper at Florence, Italy.


A friend in Philadelphia lady
sends me an anacdote that tends TO
show what nice people" the Brown
ngs have always been: Owe were
staying in the house where they had
lived, in Florence - occupied their
suite, in fact-and thought it would he
interesting to get some anecdotes of
their everyday life. The family had
consisted of Mr. Browning, Elizabeth
Barrett Browning and their small son
(now married to an American lady).
So we gently led up to the subject to
our landlady, an Englishwoman who
! had married a Russian (Baranowsli
by name), and who had been recon-
mended to us as thoroughly honest
woman. She was very reticent, not
only speaking seldom, but never even
using superhous words. However, we
thought surely she must, with
tactful handling, be beguiled into
telling us something worth hear
ing on such a fruitful topic. So
we began: We'll, madame, you
had the Brownings with you a good
while; how interesting they must have
/ been' oh, yes, they were very nice
people We waited for further de-
velopments, but madame went on dust
ing the room. Seeing that she had no
intention of volunteering any informa-
ton, we ventured another question:
What kind of a man is Mr.. Browning
personally, madame? Is he very
agreeable? oh, yes indeed said
madame, cheerfully, he is It very nice
man. with which she turned awav
and went on with her worlk-not as if
she did not wish to impart what she
knew, but as if she had impaired all
she knew. Our ardor was dampened, -
continues +. M. L., 'but still we tried
again, as she remained in the room
and did not seem unwilling to be in
terviewed. L suppose you knew Mrs.
Browning quite well, madame; she
must have been very charitable and
kind to the Florentine poor, as they
have put tablet over your door to her
memoryp oh, yes said madame,
quietly, she was very nice woman

as last hope, we thought we would
try question about the little boy,
as she had beloved grandson of whom
she was very proud, and might have
some anecdote in connection with both
of the children. Was there only one
boy, madame?' Yes, only one.' What
kind of child was he-brightP' oh.
yes answered Madame Baranowski.
he was very nice little boy With
this she left the room. and we never
had the energy to tackle her again on
the subject. She had had a great MANY

Profitable Industry Which Might BE
Pursued by American Farmers.
Farmers in various parts of the
country are beginning the cultivation
of the indigo plant which forms a very
important feature of Chinese agricult-
ure. The indigo fern is one of the
seed-pot variety of plants, with stock
and leaf not unlike the fish geranium,
but of darker green in color. 1t is very
hardy, easily cultivated, and, unlike
many of orr native products, is never
attacked by insects. The plants are
gathered for manufacturing purposes
when they have obtained the height
of about two feet, and at this
rich dark blue color. To
extract the article, that is sold for
mechanical and domestic uses, the
plants are placed in receptacles and
covered with fresh, clear watcr, in
which they remain for three days, I'M
til the indican. "A peculiar substance in
the juice of the plant is decomposed
by fermentation. To this is added at
specified times little slaked lime
The whole is frequently stirred to as
sist the process. The indigo is precip-
itated in dark blue sediment, which,
when dried, is the indigo of commerce
By repeating the process until a great
er degree of decomposition takes place,
a very dark blue is obtained, and for
commercial purposes the darker the
color the better and higher price it
brings. NJ Y. Mail and Express.
