BRITISH CLUSTER.

An Illustration OF tho Bullying Tendsaey
OF the English.
When the British press undertakes to
show that the Americans engage in
blustcr when dealing with weaker ma
tions, and by implication that Engl2hd
does not, it calmly ignores the fact that
Great Britain has always acted the bully
In dealing with small countries. The
San Diego lCal.) Union recalls the fol.
lowing instance to illustrate the truth
of this assertion: In 1882 the British
vice consul at San Jose. Guatemala. Mr..
McGee, was challenged to q boat race to
an incoming Pacific mail steamer BY the
boarding officer of the port.
Mr. McGcc was successful and was on
the gangway ladder of the steamer just
as the boarding officer reached the step,
but the two went aboard together. Mr..
McGcc's success so incensed the officer
that he notified the Guatemalan author
tiles that Mr.. MCGEE had violated the
customs law by preceding him aboard
the steamer. Mr.. McGce was arrested,
convicted and puaished with fifty lashes
on his bare back. He explained tho oc-
currencc to his home government, and
within thirty days British man of war
was in the port and demanded that tho
vice consul be paid one thousand dollars
for each lash, and that the boarding
officer be taken out md shot or tho city
would be bombarded. The demand
was com piled with.

FRENCH BEAUTIES.
Various Changes In the Prevailing Styles
Of Gsliic LoveIiness.


Of Gsliic Lovsliness.
France, says the Gnulois, has revo-
luton every fifteen or twenty years. SO
the beauties can be classed by regime.
Each group has its distinguishing !. pc.
Tho first empire beauty was divinely
tall and classic in her feature and bear
ing and a wee bit sentimental. That
of the restoration was less in inches and
greater in girth, though slender OF
waist. She was simple and unpretend-
ing, with withal the savcir vivre of edu-
cation and nobility of race. Eugene
Louis has immortalized the beauty of
the monarchy of July. She. too. was
graceful and elegant, but more modern.
Who has not read in the annals of the
citizen king of the Duchess de Dino. the
Marquise de.Talleyrand- Perigord, one OF
the most famous of court beauties? Her
rivals were the Princcsse dc Lisbes. the
Princcsse Belgiojos, Baronne de Vatry.
Duchessca. de Daematie and de Fitz-
James, wN6 used to call herself queen
of England-a harmless usurpation--
the Countcsses Leon and dc la Redorte.
There still survives Liardieres (nee
Munstcr) therefore with Guelph blood.
Nine. Liardicres has an adrniring salon
still. her features are handsome and her
manners charming. Tho most impos-
ing beauty of Louis Philippe's time was
the Duchess d'Istrie, who always wore
white satin, scarlet ribbons in her raven
hair and diadem of splendid diamonds.
The Comtesse de Fitz-yamcs had fair
tresses and opulent shoulders. There
are other names of less prominent note,
marquiscs and duchesses Of beauty and
wit. Of the professional beauties"
there was the Duchesse d'Elchingen.

sat to painter or sculptor. Mime. Odin

When vessel sinks in the channel

The value OF the vessels delayed by a
wreck there recently 10 estimsted at
fourteen million dollars, and that Of
their cargocs at four million dollars A.
one time seventy lake steam vessels
were anchored on the east side Of the
blockade. and sixty on the west side,
and new channel had TO be cut
through the flats to allow them TO con-
tinue their ways. Four dredges worked
day and night to make channel seven
hundred feet In length, sixty in width.
and fifty in depth. 1t is said that tho
only way TO prevent accidents like that
which caused the wreck is to limit the
speed of vessels in the channel. There
was the same trouble at tho St. Clair
flats until men were stationed ut the
ends Of the channel to time tho vessels.
