By a Former New Haven Lady.

Mrs. Eugene Carroll Webster of East Prov idenee, R. T., formerly Miss Wynn Ward of this city, was the elocutionist at the sessions of the American Institute of Instruction, which held it's annual meeting in Saratoga last week. She was appointed for few readings, but owing to the inability of Le- land T. Powers to be present, she filled his part of the program also. The Saratogian says: "Again Mrs. Webster held the atten- tion of the audience in the recitation, How Ruby Played,' being a countryman's de- scription of @ concert by Rubinstein. Mrs. Webster is an exceedingly versatile speaker, her talents being of 8 very fine order. The faint strains of the orchestra of the Grand Union which stole through the open windows during the recitation materially added to the effect"
 The Saratoga Union said of another selec- tion: "Mrs. Eugene 0. Webster followed in recitation of s. W. Kellogg's story of "A Second Trial The pathetic recital of the familiar story of the devoted little sister and the daunted class day orator was given with feeling and tenderness that moved many of the auditors to tears."

Fell from a Tree.

John Pitcher and Michael Connors, the boys who were helping themselves to green pears on a pear tree near the junction of State and Franklin streets yesterday after- noon. were precipitated to the ground by the breaking of the limb of the tree. Pitcher had his teeth knocked out, which caused the blood to flow freely from his mouth. The other escaped with bruises. It is wonder that the two lads were not more seriously injured by falling such distance. It is presumed that the boys will not want any more pears from that tree this season.

The Next Band Concert.

The Second Regiment band will give it's next concert on the green Thursday evening. The concert will open with s'The Star Span- gled Banner" and close with the national hymn "America," and it is intended to have the audience join in the chorus of both se- lections. With three or four thousand peo- pie fin attendance, as has been the case at the two former concerts, a chorus of the voices with band accompaniment would make good effect. Leader Stack is arranging a number of popular airs and before many days the band will be ready to give HAnnie Rooney" and other tunes that will meet with popular favor.

What Came of a Lady,s Question to Prince Blsmarck.
 lErora tha Naxe

Prince Bismarck.
 From the London News1
 The following incident, which occurred in 1866, is related by Herr von Sybel in the fourth volume of his book, "The Founding of the German Empire by William l." "During dinner at the Saxon embassy in Berlin Countess Hohenthal, the wife of the ambassador, said naively to the Prussian premier, who sat next her, Do tell me, Ex. cellency, is it really true that you want to fight with Austria and take Saxonyp Prince Bismarck answered with great amiability, Certainly 1t is true, dearest Countess; from the very first day of my ministry I have thought of nothing else; our cannsns are now ready, and you will soon see that they are more powerful than the Austrian artil- lery.' 'Dreadful,' cried the lady. But, she added, 'as you are in 30 frank humor, give me some friendly advice. I have two estates. To which shall fy-to the one in Bohemia or to that near LeipzigF
 "'If you will listen to me- answered Prince Bismarck, you will not go to Bohe- mia; it is there, and if I am not mistaken, it is exactly in the neighborhood of your es- tate that we shall beat the Austrians. You Go to Ssxony; nothing will happen near Leipzig, and you will not even be troubled with quartering soldiers, for your castle of Knautheim is near no line of march, When the ex-chancellor was aftsrward anxiously questioned by other diplomatists as to this conversation he was much amused that the moeking repulse of an indiscreet question should be taken seriously. But Herr vol, Beust, remembering his long enmity against the policy of Prussia. really took up the mat. ter in earnest, sent the important news te Vienna, demanded Austris's protection, and declared that if Austria would arm at once all the middle states would stand firmly by her, but that otherwise they would turr their backs on her forever. This oommuni. catiou from Herr von Beust was not without influence in the decisions of the military cir. cle in Vienna. The troops in Bohemia, Mo. ravia and West Gslicia were strengthened so that in very short time eighty thousand men were ready to invade Silesia from three sides, while before only twenty-five thousand men were divided among the usual garri' sons."

one of them," said the captain, "they would keep up yell that sounded like the bark of coyote. At last the men were successful. They had, indeed, caught one of the fish, and they began to haul him in. When the remaining fish saw their captured brothei they made great efforts to rescue him. They grabbed at him while the men were hauling him up along the eide of the boat, and once or twice one of them succeeded in getting his 'claws' over the fore rail. At last we had him on deck, and such hilarious yell as the crew gave out at that happy moment, and the scene on the deck, is indescribable.
 "The captured monster foundered all over the deck, but his manoeuvres were quickly stopped by the use of an axe; we soon cut his head off. In another hour we had caught two more of the huge monsters, but these must have been young ones, as they were a great deal smaller in size than the rest, and probably did not know how to evade the hook"
 "This was strange monster" said Cap
 tain dheen. "The body, was round and about the size of @ small barrel, and the back was covered with thick scales, resem- bling the scales of drumfish, while the belly resembled the hide of @ porpoise. The head was about as large as an ordinary sized bucket, and was horrifying to gaze upon. The eyes were as large as dollar and greenish in color. They made my blood
 
 "We all held a consultation and decided to have the fish cooked. One of them was ! carefully cleaned and cut into huge chunks and ordered the cook to prepare it for sup per. thought that they would not be fit to eat and ordered the others thrown over. board, which was done. But they weren't ir the water ten seconds before the others which were still following us, began battle over which should have the feast. They grabbed them with their hands, and in the battle number of others were killed, and 1T their wild attempt to get a meal they chased after one of their dead number, and they were lost from our view in short time, and we continued our voyage unmolested. ! "But to go back to the eating of the fish Why, when the pot stew was served up nc | one could tell it from a mess of boiled cod fish, and when boiled by itself it tasted like ! shad."

Advances at the Openins-Pacific Mail
 Goes Up One and Three.quarters Per
 Cent.-The Close Dull.

NEW YORK, July II. Railroad bonds were quiet, the trading extending to So5s GOO, but there was active specially and the marked changes were in the inactive bonds. The temper of the market closely followed that in shares, and heaviness prevailed with little change in quotations.
 Stocks opened with general advances of from A to A per cent, while the passage of the shipping bill put Pacific Mail up 1N per cent. Outside of Sugar Refneries, silver certificates and some spe- cialties. however, the further gains were entirely insignificant, and the temper of the speculation from that time out was heavy, though the prevail ing dullness and stagnation precuded anything like material losses and the changes in the general list were confined to @ slow and almost imperceptible shading off in values.
 Sugar showed m ost animation and advanced about per cent but later lost all of this improve ment Rock Island attracted most attention in the regular list, and the bears ttacked it on the ports of the failure of the crops along the line, but it closed only slight fraction lower than satur- day
