An interesting incident in connection
with President Harrson's visit to Atlanta
was his meeting with Mr.. George Cook,
a courtly, elderly gentleman, and we'll
known piano manufacturer of Boston.
The grandfather of Mr.. Cook was the
Captain Cook who saved the life of Gen.
eral William Henry Harrison from the
Indians at the battle of Tippecanoe. Mr..
Cook and Mrs. Cook had been spending
few days with Governor Bullock, and
on invitation of Mayor Hemphill went up
the road to meet the President. The
meeting of the two grayhaired grandsons
was very cordial, and they enjoyed a
pleasant chat during the ride into the
city.

The Papal Swiss. Guards.

Most foreigners, who have been in
Rome, remember the entrance to the Vat
ican with the Portone di Bronco at the
end of the semi circle at the
right of the Bernin colonade. On the
way to the mass you pass along this por-
tico, before the post of Swiss guards,
whose uniform of "lansquenets" of the
sixteenth century is one of the curiositics
of Rome; and you may hear the halberds
clashing upon the stone floor in salute
of some religious functlonary as he comes
in.
need not describe these guards, with
their heavy mustaches and boards; their
fresh -colored faces and their unconscious
swagger and their doublets, which
seem SO wofully out of place in modern
Rome.
On little triangular place, at the foot
of the high and massive wall of the Sis
tine Chapel, between the great stretch of
the Pontificial garden and the colossal
sides of st. Peters Church, there is an
other Swiss guard, at that door of the
Vatican by which, last spring, Leo XIII.
made his little excursion into the outer
world, which was SO much talked abou,
in the newspapers. Near by sentinel
of the Italian Army stands guard in the
name of King Humbert. Here we have
the two opposing principals, with their
picket lines scarcely twenty PAGES apart.

George w. Childs, of Philadelphia,
has consented to exhibit his fine art and
souvenir collection at the Chicago Fair.
Among his treasures are the little green
harp which belonged to Tom Moore, and
which he carried into hundreds of Irish
homes; the massive silver vase presented
to Henry Clay, when he was at the height
of his popularity, by the Whig ladies of
Tennessee; Washington's champagne
glass; cups, saucsrs and glasses which
came from Louis Napoleon, the late
Emperor William, the late Emperor
Maximilian and the ex-Empcror of
Brazil, miniature ship, formerly the
property of President Andrew Jackson,
and the silver waiter presented to Gen
eral jackson after ms victory by the citi-
zens OF New Orleans.

Joe Shakespeare, the Mayor of New
Orleans, was asked whether he knew
how he came by his surname. "Oh, 5"
said he, "you think, perhaps, l claim
descent from the Bard of Avon. Well,
I'm an American, and you know what
Americans are after. I never heard that
the Bard of Avon left anything but
name, so took no interest in his family.
If he had left money it would be differ
ent." As matter of fact Shakespeare
did leave an estate that was reckoned
good in its time. The new Shakespeare
of New Orleans is native of the neigh
borhood of Baltimore, where his ances-
tors were farmers. He is rich iron
founder.

Wild Horses of Lob.

Two young Frenchmen, brothers,
Grum- Grjimailo by name, have just re-
turned from the ancient kingdom of Lob,
in Eastern Turkey. They bring with
them thousands of specimens of birds,
mammals, fishes and plants.
Among the more remarkable animals
are some wild horses, which are not the
descendants of domesticated specimens,
like the wild horses of the South Ameri-
can Pampas, but the real primitive wild
type and the projenitor of the domesti.
Gated breed. Three of these were shot
in the Dzungarian desert, just north Of
Guchen, after long anG, difficult chase.
The existence of wild camels was also
corroborated, herd having been pur-
sued for long way in the direction OF
lob Nor, but unfortunately the travellers
were unable to come up with them

at least one person in three between
the ages of ten and forty years is subject
to partial deafness. The great majority
ofcascs OF deafness are hereditary and
due to the too close consangunity of the
parents. Deafness is more prevalent
among men than among women, because
the former are more exposed to the vicis.
situdcs of climate. 1t is thought that
telephones tend to bring on deafness
when one ear is used to the exclusion OF
the other.

1t really looks now, asserts the New
York Sun, as though the action of the
Italian Government toward this country
had so frightened King Humbert's sub
jects as to make tens of thousands of
them hasten to fly from Italy and seek
refuge here. They are coming over as
fast as they can find ships to carry them,
and, according to recent dispatches, the
Mediterranean ports are swarming with
Italians anxious to secure hunks in the
steerage of the steamships bound for
America. There is reason for enter
tanning the apprehension that, if King
Humbert were to threaten to make war
upon the United States, we could not find
room here for the hosts of his subjects
wso would be seized with the desire to
" from his kingdom.

ILLUSIONS.

Go stand at night upon an ocean craft
And watch the folds of Its imperial train
Catching in fleecy foam thousand CLOVIS
A miracle of fire unquenched by sea.
There. in bewildering turbulence Of change,
Whirls the whole armament, till as you gaze,
All else unseen, it is as heaven itself
Had lost its poise, an each unanchored star
In phantom haste fees to the horizon line.
What dupes we are of the deceiving eye!
How many light men wonderingly acclaim
Is but the phosphor of the path Life makes
With its own motion, while above, forgot,
Sweep on serene the old unenvious starsl

The fourth annual meeting of the
Peninsula horticultural Society opened
in Elston on Tuesday. The reception
committee of citizens, Col. Thomas
Hughett, chairman, had secured hall
for the meetings and made other arran-
gements for the comfort of the associa-
ton. Kent, Cecil, Talbot, Caroline,
Dorchester and the three counties of
Delaware were represented at the opea
ing. A number of Delaware members were
attending the gubernatorial inaugural
at Dover. President J. J. Black was sick
and absent and ex President ]. w. Kerr
was put ir the chair, Judge Osmond Ham
mond, who was appointed to make the
address of welcome, was absent through
sickness, and that duty fell unexpectedly
upon Major w. L. Stewart, who gave
the association a hearty welcome. He
spoke of the antiquity OF horticulture,
originating as it did in the Garden of
Eden, and referred TO the fact that edu-
Gated people are taking hold of ali the
departments of horticulture, giving it an
impetus and influence it never had be-
fore. Sixteen new members from Tai
bot county were added.
Gsorge Biddle, of Cecil, read the re-
port of the committee on apples. 1t was
discussed by Messrs, Barnard, Griffith
and Harris, OF Kent and Kerr and Kelley,
of Caroline. Il was agreed that Smith s
cider was decidedly the most profitable
apple for peninsula cultivation. The
Russian apples, although of ine appear
ance, were lacking in quality. One
speaker said the city markets cared no.
thing for quality. Apples of fine appear
ance brought the best priea, regardless
