Earthquake in Central America.

BUILDINGS IN SAN JOSE, CAPITAL OF COSTA RICA,
BADLY DAMAGED-EIGHT PERSONS KILLED.
San Jose, the capital of Costa Rica. was the
scene on the night of December go and the
morning of December 30 of a series of earth
quake shocks Of great severity. The shocks are
believed to have originated in the volcano of
Poaz, 6 leagues distant from the town. At
Alajuela eight persons were killed and many
injured. The churches and principal buildings
in San Jose suffered considerable damage The
inhabitants encamped III the squares and parks
NO further shocks having occurred the alarm
is subsiding The civic feasts were begun yes
terday.
San Jose is situated near the headwaters of
the Rio Grande, almost midway between the
Atlantic and Pacific oceans. The population is
about $4,000. The city lies in a picturesque
valley, 1900 feet above the sea. formed between
the Herradura mountains the south and
those of Barba on the north. Its streets are
laid out with great regularity, but the build
ings are low. Among the best of the buildings
are the cathedral, the Episcopal palace and
the government buildings. San Jose became
the seat OF government after the destruction of

American Versatility.

Max 0Rell in the Forum.
Is there anything more sublime than the way
in which the American can combine the sacred
and the profane? Why, he is a greater adept at
1t than John Bull. On board the steamer we
had party of Americans who passed seven
days Of the voyage in playing poker. The
smoking-room rang from morning to night
with the oaths that they uttered every time
that they threw a card on the table. They were
so fluent with them that they hardly used the
same twice in an hour. Their stock seemed
inexhaustible. On Sunday, after breakfast, a
young lady sat down to the piano and began
playing hymns. What happened then? Our
poker party gathered round the Young lady.

Curious English Wills.

London Letter in New York Independent.
There have been two curious additions of
late to the literature of Doctors Commons.
Lord Sackville, the brother of our late ambas-
sador to the United States, chiefly notorious
for having closed Knowle park to the public,
has left all he could leave to the queens maids
of honor. His character did not suggest as a
motive for this. chivalrOuS generosity but in
another man it might have been so. for it is
generally understood that, considering their
birth and position, maids of honor are far from
being well provided with this worlds goods.
1t has probably been always SO, or we should
hardly read OF their willingness to accept what
seems but little short of blood mOney-the
ransoms of the poor victims of Monmouth's re-
bellion. / don't think men of honor would
have done it. But there can be no harm III the
young ladies who fill this enviable situation
at court to-day taking Lord Sackville's money.
Heaven knows why he left it to them. Per
haps for the same reason that Alcibiades cut
the dogs tail off, ''to give people something to
talk about, or perhaps he selected them as
being upon the whole. the most unlikely class
to have ever committed a trespass IN Knowie
park.
A still more curious will is that of Lord War
wick's housekeeper, who leaves her master the
savings-and the perquisites-of a lifetime
amounting to no less than go 600. Huge as
the sum seems to be to have been acquired in
such a calling, doubt not it was honestly come
D!. NdTWlCh ca7Lie Is pFODdDly the most pOpu-

time one that is mainly visited by rich people,
notably Americans, for whom the house has
especial attractions. since IL possesses so much
wherein their own land is wanting. The house

sensitive would give guinea. For my part.
am always pleased when ! visit these stately
homes of England to find the housekeeper
away, and deputy acting in her place; it is
cheaper, and the cicerone gets quicker over
the ground. The old lady in question was
evidently at the head of her profession. and
person in that position-whatever the calling
is. unless, indeed, it is hterature-is sure to
make pile. Surprising she had no near rea-
tives OF Der own. 1T seems to be appropriate
act; and one which savors of the feudality it
was her mission to emphasize that she should
leave her wealth to her lord. My housekeeper,
if l had one, would not be likely to make me
her heir; but have had good many cooks
in my time who, if they would each kindly be-
queath me the little pickings they have made
out of me-the mere extras-it would be in the
aggregate good round sum, and should be a
great relief to their minds.
