The duchess brought her work with
her, and will stay in Billtong some
time, they say. She sings some, and
since her arrival has made the perspira-
ton stand out on the brow of the hotel
piano in a way which has alarmed the
proprietor good deal. Her grace sings
the ballad Sing. Sweet Bird" with
much skill, hopping into the high notes
with great precision and flushed face.
Her grace also sings and plays the bal
lad entitled 20, bury me not in the
deep. deep sea-" 1t is quite sad song,
and quite number Of gents who heard
her at the hotel went down 10 the bar TO
wipe their overcharged orbs on the row
of towels which hang from the edge of
the counter; also to enlarge their over
charged floating debt at the same time.
The duke takes this trip in order to
get much needed rest prior TO going
back and at once beginning the arduous
task of being Duke of Connaught and
Strathearn: also Earl of Sussex after
moons and Duke of Saxony and Prince of
Saxe-Cobourg and Gotha Tuesdays and
Fridays
On arrival at the pier seven lads,
ranging from six to seventeen years of
age, who had been bathing at the time.
and had not had time even to put back
the cotton IN their ears. on hearing the
tug approach came forward in full dress
TO welcome the duke and give him the
freedom of the town. They then vocally
requested God to save the queen. unless
other arrangements had beer made, and
afterward resumed their bathing.
The military guard Of honor, wearing
brief but highly inhamed coats. now
presented arms, and the MAYOR read
short address of welcome, while the duke
was looking after his luggage. He does
not fancy being entertained by the
provinces, and says he wishes they would
let up on II.

so was Ouch: but no, nothing would dc
but must just drop III quietly and eat
a little dinner with them. It would
only take few minutes and they would
never forget it. When we got there the
Iraal was full of lunl1heads that had
been asked in to see the show, and
coarse tradesnan with whiskers in his
ears was holding a photograph album
on his knees as if it was new born
child. He was great coarse man, with
open face and pores. He was an under
taker, and gave me his card. 1t seems
that ice is very high where he lives. His
card still have with me. It reads as
follows:

Not a Beggar.
BILL NYE.

''Gentlenen," he began, in smooth
voice, Il am dead broke, but no beggar.
I want to raise about ten shillings, but l
shall do it in a legitimate manner. Now,
then, let me ask you to inspect this"
He took from his pocket a piece of
iron chain as large as his thumb and
containing six links. He passed it round,
and after it had been carefully inspected
by each OF the party he continued:
II want TO bet my overcoat, which is
worth two pounds, against ten shillings
in cash that none of you can separate
one link from the others"
The piece of chain was passed round
again to be more closely scrutinized, and
finally one of the party, who was a ma
chinist. returned it with the remark:
''And Iwant to stake that sum against
your overcoat thai you can't do it your
self"
''Done!" said the stranger as he pulled
off his coat.
Coat and cash were put in the hands
of a stakeholder. and the stranger asked
the group to follow him. He walked
across the street and into blacksnith's
shop. and picking up o hammer and
chisel he deliberately cut q. link.
The orlookers stood like SO many
pumpkins at country fair, but when
the stranger held up the link and claimed
the stakes the machinist recovered his
wits sufficiently to exclain:
''SOld by professional swirdler! The
money is yours; but in exactly thirty sec
onds after you receive it 1 shall begin to
kick, asa you had better be twenty
yards off"
''Thanl1s-glad to have met you
good day" replied the stranger. and he
was out of sight in seven seconds.-Yan-

LIE Old SEA WALL.

The wind blows north and the wind blows
soEb,
And the tides surge in at the harbor's mouth;
The white gulls circle and poise afar
Where the breakers foam on the hidden bar;
The slant sails glisten, the bright beams fall.
And the waves lap low On the old sea wall
Clear in the plaza the three bells chime
At morn, at noon, and at vesper time;
The dusine fort lies IN dream Of days
When the Spaniards Wended the sandy ways
Where the fair haired children laugh and call
To the fleeing ships from the old sea wall.
Progress leaps at the heels of change;
The new grows o., nd the old grows strange;
And gayer HE flows up and down
The narrow streets of the ancient town
Than ever they knew, those soldiers tall,
Who strobe, long since, on the old sea wall.
Now, when the noonlight's mellow sheen
Siivers tho roofs Of st. Augustine,
The lovers linger side by side
On the path that looks on the cleaning tide;
And peace and joy hold the night in thrall,
For love is lord of the old sea wall

According to the best information we
can get hold OF, the people of Billtong,
B. c., made great effort to entertain
the Duke of Connaught and wife recently,
and succeeded fairly well considering
that Billtong is comparatively new
town. The duke said that he was not a
little surprised to find that Billtong was
yet in so crude a state while marked
B. c.
Two days were then given for medita-
ton and subsequent mirth
The duke wore an English made suit
of all wool clothes which fitted him in
a desultory way, and which would not
cost bob over one acld ten. He wore d
Norfolk jacket and duck CATERS. Fear
ing the cold weather, his feet were en-
cased in gunnysacks, tied with rag
carpet warp, but the duchess made him
take them off for fear his feet would be
trained down too much by that course.
One of his feet already has inflammation
of the liver, and the left lobe of the
other foot is greatly enlarged. He has
large, intellectual heels, which extend
back to about the time of Queen Anne.
He has made several efforts, through the
aid of surgical institutions, to rectify his
feet so as to have the instep on the top
of the foot instead Of giving the hollow
Of the foot convex appearance. He has
also spent a good deal of money in his
efforts to precede the calves of his legs,
but all to no purpose. He has also had
several unsuccessful operations on his
feet for strabismus. He wore an African
explorers helmet with mosquito netting
on to it, and had leather field glass at
tached to his person by means Of strap.
Once he lost the cork out of his field
glass while at Victoria. and had to get it
reilled at a measly public house.
The duchess wore barege dress, with
duchess tatting at the wrists and throat.
The panels were held in place by basting
threads of a contrasting shade, and the
revers were draped over illusion and
looped back with passementerie. Over
all this she wore a Macintosh and car
ried dinner pail in one hand. She wore
a fore and aft checked steamer hat and a
green veil.
The duke has been travelling SO much
that he is looking somewhat unused up
and degage. In conversation with a
newspaper man of Port Townsend he
said that he had been eating railroad
victIlals SO much that he feared his liver
was affected, and that possibly he had
boil on his stomach.

IT is now generally believed that
Speaker Reeds idea of an adjourn
ment by the first of July will be in.
dorsed by Republican caucuses of both
Houses. Aside from the regular ap.
preparation bills, all of which are in
an advanced state, the tariff bill, the
silver bill, the service pension bill and
perhaps, but not certain, Federal
election bill, will be passed before ad.
journment. The Democratic leaders
tried their best to work up sentiment
10 their party against early adjourn
ment, but owing to the fact that most
of the members, of both parties, are
anxious to be in their respective dis
tricts as early as possible this year,
they failed.

The Supreme Court of the United
States, on Monday of last week, hand.
ed down decision in a liquor case.
involving the constitutiouality of the
Iowa prohibitory law. The decision
is to the effect that citizen of anoth.
er State may import liquor into a pro.
hibition State, and without a license,
into license State, and sell the same
in the original packages. The court
virtually says that the prohibition of
any article is an interference with
inter State commerce, and therefore
contrary to the Federal Constitution.
The opinion was handed down by
Chief Justice Fuller, three of the AS.
sociate Justices, Gray, Harlan and
Brewer, dissenting. 1t is thought
pretty generally that the decision is
too radical, also that the question of
prohibition is removed to the head of
the government, and will hereafter be
National instead of State or local
issue.

; be veto ~rIast week appropriating
: eooSJ0 for an addition to q Govern.
ment building in town wHefe he did
not think the addition of pressing
necessity. The concluding paragraph
of his veto message was as follows:
"The erection of public buildings is
largely g matter of local necessity and
convenience, while expenditures for
enlarged relief and recognition of the
soldiers and sailors of the war for the
preservation Of the Union, necessary
for coast defenses, and for the exten.
sion of our commerce with other
American states, are of universal
necessity, and involve considerations,
not of convenience, but of justice,
honor, safety, and general prosperity"
Congress has already taken the hint
which the Presidents language so
plainly conveys.

sumed a serious demeanor since the
importunate citizens Of the last. named

that the Senator's solemn manner is
due to the trouble he is having in de-

THE practically united support of
Ex Governor Pattison by the Phila-

political surprise for the whole State.
It's full meaning has not quite dawned
on some of the unterrifed Of the in.
terror counties, and its utility and
various beauties will have TO be grad
ually unfolded in order not to create
too profound shock. Its effect will
be to crystalline the Pattison senti.

tice that whoever gets the Democratic
nomination will have to fight for it,
and that is something not very much
desired by some of the candidates.
