revolutionary results of possible failure,
both parties engineered compromise. the
walls Of the fortress were leyeled, the Ger
man garrison withdrawn, the territory
neutralized and the solution of the question
of succession left 20 a future conference.
The King of Holland recovered and married
young Princess, and, Sedan having been
engraved on the tablets of history, .the
affairs of the duchy were left in statu quo.
The birth Of a Princess and the certainty of
no other issue did not change this status,
pied. 1t is certain that Germany will never
permit the annexation of Luxembourg to
Belgium. On the other side, many believe
France would sooner fight than see the
duchy incorporated into the German Eul-
pire. In this question the interests of En-
gland arraign Its policy against Germany.
The direct succession to the throne of HOl-
land depends on the life of child whose
right is not founded on international law or
on dynastc law of succession, but on a
statute passed by the Dutch Chamber of
Deputies. Ii England recognizes the claim
OF Prussia TO Luxembourg as just it must
also concede its right to the succession in
Holland whenever through the death
OF the young Princess the DUTCH
throne should become vacant. The
incorporation of Holland into the
German Empire would at once make this
country maritime power Of the first order.
BislnaTck's colonial policy appeared to fore
shadow desire for maritime grandeur to
which the annexation of Holland would be
necessary part

Tex. boasts OF female Samson who has
repeatedly proven herself a match for any
three men who have pitted their united
strength against hers, and who a few nights
ago successfully routed Officer John Baxter
and three of his assistants all men of fine
physique. The woman is a negress as black
as night and of a stature slightly above aver
age, but magnifcently built and extraordi-
parily active. Her grip is such that she was
able to break two of the bones of the hand Of
Gently, and it was on the police attempting
to arrest her that she not only was able to
prevent them from putting the handouts ON
her, but, taking the officer and his posse one
by one, flung them out Of the house and
closed and locked the door.
Baxter, in particular, Is accounted man
OF unusual strength and is OF large build,
but he says his muscles were as child's
when compared with those of the black
Amazon. The woman, whose name is Caro-
line Jenkins, is about so years old, and is
the mother of seven children. She has been
seen TO pick up a barrel of flour and carry 1t
distance of some yards without appearing to
overexert herself, and when tested was
found to be abe to break with ease new
grass rope an inch in diameter. Since her
exploit with the police it is said that a party

DisraelPs Mysterious Correspondence and
tho Queer Meeting.
The most curious episode in Mr.. DisraeliS
life occurred in the year Of the Great Ex-
hibition, when Mrs. Bridges Willyams, then
living widowed at Torquay, wrote to him
protesting admiration and asking advice.
He did not answer and she wrote again.
Meeting Devonshire man at Monckton
Mines. he asked him If he knew mad
woman at TOrquay named WillyamS, and
was assured that Mrs. Willyams was not
mad. Still he did not reply and she wrote
asking him to meet her near the fountain in
the exhibition.
He did not go, and she wrote again, NAM
ing another hour. His friends advised him
to keep the appointment ana he did so. He
found an old lady who might have sat for
the figure OF fairy godmotiier. She told
him long story and gave him an envelope
containing a statement on which she wanted
an opinion. Disrael put 1t in his pocket and
forgot it. Weeks atterward he put on the
same coat and there was the envelope, con-
tanning bank note for Gl000 for his election
expenses and the legal case, which was not
absurd. lie got a lawyers opinion for her
and sent 1t. That was the beginning OF q
long correspondence. When she died she
left him her fortune, and was buried at

THE ELIZA'S CREW.
Four of Them Sent Out to the
Marine Hospital.

All Of the crew of the whaling bark Eliza,
whose sufferings while cast away at St.
Lawrence Island were fully detailed in THE
CALL, came ashore from the steamer Belve-
dere, that brought them down yesterday
and were distributed among the different
city-front boarding-houses, where many OF
them were seen last evening. Four of them,
Anton Perry, Edmund (Kanakasl, and
Thatcher and Henry Parkes (American)
were taken in a hack to the Marine Hos
pital, having their limbs frost-bitteD. Perry
is in worse state than the rest. His right
foot has sloughed off and all the toes of the
left one are gone, and the foot will probably
have to be amputated.
Thatcher is well known on the water
front, having formerly been on the United
States steamer Monterey. His left foot is
frozen and one toe he cut off with a pair of
shears. He says that a few days before the
went over to Oakland TO look for job.
While going over on the boat he got ac-
Qualnted with man who said he could get
him job and treated him to several drinks.
The next thing he said he knew he was out
at sea on the Eliza, having been shanghaied.
When he left heIe Thatcher weighed 1S0
pounds, and he now weighs 129.
On the cruise of the Eliza Peter Navaa,
kanaka boat.steerer, while shooting a
whale from boat, had bomb go through
his right wrist Captain Kelley put chew
of tobacco in either side the hole made and
though that was the only remedy used,
the wound is now entirely healed up.
All the crew of the Eliza unite in praise
and thanks TO the captain and crew of the
Belvedere for the kind manner in which
they were treated on board Captain White
side. they say, gave them all the contents
of his slop-chest, and when they were ex-
hausted the sailors divided up their meager
supply OF clothing. Captain Kelley of the
bark SAYS that lie owes his life to James
Belain, lis first mate, and John Cole, boat
header, who are brother Masons. When the
crew was making for the Indian village, and
he, being exhausted, asked them to push on
and leave him die, they refused and, building
a snow-house, stuck by him until rescued by
the natives. On the trip down the Belve-
dere had seventy-eight people on board.
There We're no watch and watch kept, but
half slept while the other half walked the
deck.
An important parsonage among the EiiZa's
crew was one who was known as doc" Ii
appears that he is regular qualified phySi-
clan. He got hard up here just before the
Eliza sailed and Levy shipped him, as he
faithfully, and when the disaster came he
brought his knowledge into use. and had it
not been for him, it is said, but few Of the
crew would bave come down here. Doc"
is said to have influential friends In this
city, but a search through the boarding
houses last night failed to find him. Even
his name was not known to his shipmateS !;
they called him doc" and that was all.

AN OLD OAKS MYSTERY.
Evidence of an Ancient Tragedy Found
in the Roots of n Tree.

Evidence of an Ancient Tragedy Found
in the Roots Of Tree.
The relic of what was probably once
bloody tragedy was discovered recently by
Mrs. Jane Bentley. lady well known
among the older citizens of Portsmouth,
Va While walking in her garden she OBJ
served CLEAN of gold among the roots of
huge oak. which she had had felled the day
before. She tried to disengage the object,
which she found to be a knotted tress of
bright golden hair. but 1t was so closely
twined about the roots that she was unable
to Withdraw it. Calling the gardener, she
made him bring his spade and dig about the
stump, which he had as yet only partially
uproOted, and in a short while it was seen
that the hair. which was very abundant,
had so woven itself in and out of the roots
that it would be impossible to release it.
The mystery of its presence was solved,
also, by the discovery of skull among the
soil clnging to the roots, but though the
ground for the distance of twenty feet about
was carefully examined, no other bones were
found. Driven through the right temple of
the skull was found a rusty spike, which
reached nearly to tine other temple. DR..
Morris, who examined the ghastly relic.
says it is undoubtedly the skull of a yonng
woman, and judging from the facial angle,
she was person of culture and refinement.
No clue to the mystery can be found.-Phil-

monkeys flourish. This monkey is unusually

necessary TO control his savage spirit by
claiming him to the floor. Six men were on

Fitzgerald, was terribly scratched, and the

COLUMBUS Is. c., Nov. 1.-THE Governor
to-day commuted the sentence Of two little
negro murderers, who developed at very

dispositions. They are Martin and Sam
Nance, brothers, aged 10 aud IA years, re-
spectively. The murder for which they
were convicted and sentenced to be hanged
was committed six months ago upon the
body OF their Stepfather. He, it is alleged,

them often for the neglect of certain duties.
They became tired of this, and, it Is said,
that their mother suggested to them the
advisablity Of executing her husband. One
Sunday morning the mother went to church.
and left her children and husband at home.
While their stepfather was leaning over
the ire, in the act of putting on q cabbage
for dinner, Sam stole up behind and struck
him in the head with the blade of a hatchet.
The old man fell to the floor and rolled into
the yard. Sam Immediately fell upon him
with an ak and finished his murderous work.
But Martin, the ten-year-old boy, wished to
have part in the affair, and he continued
to hack the dead body with an ak. Sam
then got out their mule and harnessed him.
Both boys assisted in hitching the mule to
the feet Of the murdered man. He was
hauled about 200 yards from the house, put
in ditch and covered with brush. The tes-
timony Of the boys was to the effect that
their mother MAS ON bad terms with her hus-

Nothing can be done now until the Union

Something of the nature OF the proposed

cure stable rates. The present ruinous sys-
