A Battle With Bright's Disease.

The fact that General Schencll is able
to get about again in fair health is an
attestion Of his wonderful will power.
Some years ago he was so wasted by
Brights disease, with which he was af-
flicted, that none of his friends expected
he would live more than few days
longer. His physicianss told him there
was just one chance Of prolonging his life.
life. If he would absolutely refrain from
nourishment of every kind except
skinned milk the progress of the disease
might be checked. Like poor Garfield,
only with better success, he said: '1l!
take the chance" For one whole year
he permitted no food of any kind to pass
his lips but the skinned milk prescribed
by his physicians. He began to gain
strength, and is now able to drive about
with his daughter, and occasionally to
attend to little business. He lives com
fortably in handsome, old-fashioned
house on Thomas Circle, near the resi-
dence just bought by Chief Justice Fuller,
in Washington, and draws pension from
the Government for disabilities con-
tracted in his army service. Commercial

Marriaqe of the Chinese Emperor.

Detailed accounts of the marriage of
the Emperor of China have just reached
London. The ceremonies enjoined by
precedent appear to have been strictly fol-
lowed. The marriage procession started
from the palace at 2 o'clock in the after
noon, and wound its way by circuitous
streets to the residence of the bride. The
mouths of the streets and lanes in the line
of the procession were barricaded with
double rows of high mating, the streets
had recently been repaired, and were COW
cred with yellow earth, and the houses
along the route were festooned with red
silk. Officials and Manchu bannermen, in
their robes of office, lined both sides of
the street. The presents to the bride had
previously been sent to her house. The
procession was headed by four horsemen
as heralds, followed at short distance by
a large cavalcade of horsemen led by the
two imperial commissioners appointed to
escort the bride; then followed nine pairs
of white ponies with yellow trappings,
two deep, led by men, next two large yell
low satin sedan chairs, with eight bear
ers. These were follawed by a huge crowd
of bannermen in large red lowered robes,
carrying lanterns with the character ''fe-
licity" painted on them; then came hal
berdiers with large round yellow silk fans
or screens and two closed silk umbrellas.
Last of all came the phoenix chair in yel-
low satin for the bride, carried by sixteen
bearers, succeeded by groups of horse
men. At 2 o'clock the following morn
ing the processionreturned to the palace
carving the bride and the two young
concubines. The Empress is said to be
twenty-four years of age, the Emperor
being only eighteen, and the concubines,
who are two sisters, twelve and fourteen
respectively. The streets were lighted
with fixed lamps, and the numerous bear
ers carried lanterns. There was no music.
This is only the third time during the
present dynasty that the marriage of the
Emperor has taken place while ne was on
the throne. A week later the Empress
Dowager officially handed over the reins
of power to the Emperor.-London Globe.

Half a Century of Inventions.

Those of us not yet fifty years of age
have probably lived in the most important
and intellectually progressive period of
human history. Within this half century
the following inventions and discoveries
have been among the number: Ocean
steamships, street railways, telegraph
lines, ocean cables, telephones, phono-
graph, photography and score of new
methods of picture making, aniline colors,
kerosene oil, electric lights, steam fire en-
gines, chemical fire eXtinguishers, an9s-
thetics and painless surgery; gun cotton,
nitro-glycerine, dynamite, giant powder;
aluminium, magnesium, and other new
metals; electro plating, spectrum analysis
and spectroscope; audiphone, pneumatic
tubes, electric motor, electric railway,
electric bells, typewriter, cheap postal
system, steam heating, steam and hy-
draulic elevators, vestibue cars, cantilever
bridges. These are only part. All
positive knowledge of the physical con-
stitution of planetary and stellar worlds
has been attained within this period

Cellular Cloth.

The new cellular clothing now coming
into use in England is said to be sue
cess. 1t is woven out of the same material
as the common weaves Of cloth, being
simply, as its name indicates, closely
woven into cells, the network of which is
covered over with thin fluff. Its porous
quality allows the slow passing of the in
side and outside air, giving time for the
outside air to become of the same tenn
perature as the body, obviating all danger
of catching colds and allowing vapors
constantly exhaled by the body to pass off,
thus contributing to health and cleanli-
ness. The common objection to cotton
clothing, that it is productive of chllls and
colds. is removed if woven in this manner,
and the invention can certainly be said to
be strictly in accordance with hygienic
and scientific principles.

London Without End.

London never fails to impress the tour
ist with its peculiar place among the
cities of the world. There are many pre-
senting far finer groups of buildings; its
main thoroughfares, such as Regent street
and Oxford street, are not to be COM
pared with those in Paris or Philadelphia; ;
but there is solidity in its pavement, a
steady progress in its vehicles, sense of
continuity in the endless succession of its
streets, an air of unpretending confidence
in its crowds, and unbashed, monoto-
nous ugliness in its lines of suburban
villas which is unique. London is the
place where incidents and gatherings
which would move many metropolis ''to
its centre" are wholly unnoticed except by
such as happen to come across them.,
Even the most popular events, which
NAV attract some hundred thousand
people, do not make a sign or ripple in

draw direct personal notice in London.
Metropolitan news is conveyed, not by
| conversation or verbal rumor, but by
journals. The ''talk of the clubs" lex
alted by some ''society'' papers, is an in
finitesimally small fraction of that which
engages the metropolis. There is really
no "talk of the town" as distinct from
that of the nation. 1t is sheer size which

of New York you can catch glimpses OF
white sails on the Hudson or Eas,
River; but when you look at London
from any square or open space within its
borders, there appears no proof that il

Railways Ready Relief is safe reliable and
effectual because of the stimulating action
which it exerts over the nerves and vital pow

citing to renewed and increased vigor the

and through this healthful stimulation and in

thus that the Ready Relief is SO admirably

ThriI,ino Adventures of a skipper.

1
"Any man of this crew who attempts
! to desert this vessel leaves his dead body
on the deck" was the determined. warn
| ing shouted above the noise of the break
ing sea by Captain Charles Hale on the
dismasted schooner City of Philadelphia
| as his crew rushed toward the stern to es-
cape on passing vessel.
The schooner had sailed from Cardenas
for Philadelphia laden with large cargo
of sugar, and is one of the many vessels
owned by Philip Fitzpatrick. She is
usually commanded by Captain Burton,
but he was detained at home the last
| voyage by sickness in his family, and the
vessel was placed in command of First
Mate Hale, who acquitted himself with
distinction in saving the vessel and crew
during violent gale and bringing them
into port afterward when many masters
would have deserted the valuable craft.
Before the schooner had lost sight of
land sails were furled and preparation
made for heavy weather. Within few
hours the vessel began to roll deep into
the sea, besides straining heavily. This
continued until the Cape Florida light
bore ten miles distant, and the weather
began to moderate. Again heavy weather
was experienced in the shape of sudden
and violent squalls, blowing with the
force of hurricane. During one of the
heaviest bursts of wind a terrible sea
swept the decks, carrying overheard
William Cosgrove, a sailor, of Bath, Me-,
taking away the mainmast and foremast
and breaking the mizzenmast fifteen feet
above the deck, and leaving the vessel
completely at the mercy of the sea. The
cabin was filled with water, and the sea
made clean breach of the deck. This
continued the next day, knocking the
matches off and letting the water into the
cargo and crippling the entire crew.
Temporary masts made from booms and
spars were rugged, and the schooner kept
on her course. One morning the bark
Kelvin, of St. John, appeared in sight,
and the entire crew rushed to loose the
davits and lower the boats. The ring
leader was met at the cabin door by Cap
tain Hale, who aimed six-shooter at his
head. Seeing the determination of Cap
tain Hale the men at once crept into the
forecastle, and, after consultation,
agreed not to attempt to desert the
schooner. When the Kelvin hove to a
call was made by permission of her master
for volunteers to go aboard the Philadel-
phia, but the only response was from a
young Irishman named Patrick Higgins,
who came on board and worked until the
Philadelphia was docked at B. Hillman
& Co. shipyard.
During the time that the vessel was dis
masted, and up to her arrival at Hampton
Roads, she was spoken ten times and
boarded by captains from many tugs, one
of the latter offering Captain Hale $500
cash for the privilege of charging the
owners $1,000 for towing him into port
of safety Cincinnati Enquirer.

The Contraction In Teras.

The decision Of the supreme court of
Texas in the Gulf Colorado and Santa Fe
Railway VS.. the State of Texas, which
will be found on another page, is in
keeping with the prevailing sentiment
that a common carrier who transports
goods and wares over a rail thoroughfare
has no rights that the courts OF the pub
lie are bound to respect Texas, more
than any other state, owes its financial,
commercial, agricultural and social pros
perity to the railway; but, ingratitUde
being the basest feature of the human
heart, It is, perhaps, III harmony with
the eternal fitness of things that the
highest court of the state should
give emphasis to that eharae-
teristic OF her people Millions
of foreign capital have sought employ
ment in Texas at the invitation of her
citizens, and that it found employment
no one can question for the civilization
the material wealth and the general pros
perity OF the commonwealth to-day as
compared with quarter of a century
ago, are powerful and uninpeachable
witnesses to the phenomenal growth OF
Texas, which was made possible by out
side capital that was iHyeisled into the

traffic agreements between the roads of

ton, the evidence that the OPP

for years to observe a protective policy
toward the trade interests of the state
which has given home enterprise great
advantage over outside competition so
much SO, indeed, that the ST. Louis Mer-
chants Exchange, more especially, has
repeatedly fled complaints with the traf-
fie managers of the roads of gross dis
elimination in the way OF rates in favor

sighted off Galveston harbor flying sig
mails of distress. She was approached by
the steam lighter Maddox and towed into
the inner harbor To-day her master
made the following statement to the Gus
tomheuse authorities:
1.-THE British bark Victoria of Nassau,
n. P, V. r. Lyle, master, from Minat-
elan, Mexico, December Is, loaded with
mahogany consigned to J o. Ward &

White, master The accident happened
at 80 a. m :, DECEMBER %, in latitude
a p, longitude So 10, in the Gulf OF
Mexico The schooner was laden
with 500 tons of coal and
508l eases of petroleum. When
the collision happened the wind was
easberly, blowing a good breeze. The
schooner was struck on the starboafd
quarter and cut down t o the water 5
edge, carrying away her steering gear,
afJer-dayits, and breaking the boat so as
10 render 1t useless. she commenced TO
fill rapidly and sunk in about two hours
after. The crew were taken off by the
boats of the bark and arrived here safely
having lost nearly all but the clothes
they had on. The bark S stern is gone,
the bowports stove in, the bulk ends
started, the jibboom and head sails all
carried away and is leaking badly. Hhey
tried to make passes at the mouth of the
Mississippi, but she was making water SO
freely that they had TO keep off before
the wind for Galveston, where she arrived
yesterday. The schooner Quaker City
