BRITISH PURCHASES.

Engiishmen Are Buying all tho south
ern Property They Can Get Hold OF.
The Manufacturers Record publishes ex-
tracts from the letter of an English CORE
spondent holding very intimate relations
to the iron and steel and financial circles
Of Great Britain, which states that the
British company which has purchased
property in Sequachee Valley, East Ten
nessee, has G250,000 capital, and the
strongest English directory yet organized
for operations in the South. The Ameri-
can representatives are John II. lnman,
John G. Calhoun and General Chamber
lain of the Southern Iron Company of
Chattanooga.
Another syndicate has sent an eminent
British expert TO examine 100000 acres of
timber, coal and iron, and fireclay lands
on Licking River in Kentucky, which
will be purchased and developed, If the
experts report is satisfactory. A second
syndicate, with capital stock of R80O0
600, is being organized TO make extensive
purchases in the South, for which nego-
tiations are now in progress. This COM
pany expects to secure its property in
time to begin work next autumn. The
same writer says that the recent rumors
that the British syndicate behind the
Kimballtown Company of Tennessee has
purchased also the properties OF the Ten
nessec Coal, Iron and Railway Company
in that State, and will unite all its acqui-
sitions under one management, are correct.

"I have known it all the time, " said the
Markeesy di Pullman yesterday. Gas
soon as heard of the deplorable affair in
New Orleans / was convinced that the
Italian Minister must he recalled. A few
days thereafter ! received a Cablegram
from his majesty, King Umberto, ,intimat-
ing his intention of severing official rela-
tions with the United States, but delay
was secured by my telegraphing him
please to defer action until we had given
the Governor of Louisiana time to investi-
gate the alleged murders. Much to my
regret though not to my surprise, the
United States Government has been slow
to examine into this painful affair; a
rcprehensible dilatoriness has marked its
movements; Instead of grOveling, as was
most proper, ut the feet of his Italian
majesty and promising every kind of
compensation for the insult involved in
the execution OF those lamented assassins,
this Government has assumed and main
tanned an attitude of calm dignity that Is
simply and shOckingly offensive. The
consequence of this silly, not to say crimi-
nal, refusal to humiliate itself will be
war with Italy am positive Of that.
"Of course ! shall not participate in the
hostilities, continued the markeesy. "ln
the first place, am Quaker, and rs such
have pious horror of bloodshcd. More
over, am native of the United States,
and could not take up arms against my
compatriots. AT the same time am en-
deared and linked to sunny Italy by the
indissoluble tie of high and noble title.
was the first American TO be honored
with markeesyship-perhaps you recall
the circumstances under which that au-
gust title was conferred upon me. under
stand that neither Phil Armour nor N. X.
Fairbank nor Marsh Field has known
well day since l got that title. Phil Ar
mour got so green with jealousy that he
had to go TO Carlsbad and be treated for
the iaundice."
DO you know the Italian Minister at
Washington ~
"No, have never met him. answered
the Markeesy di Pullman, "but have at
tended his church in Washington and
have heard him preach. He is one Of the
most eloquent divines | ever listened to;
his recall will be severe blow to church
circles"
"Is it true, your grace, that you have
hired pew in the Rev. Bristol's church,
at is, said the markeesy. When
learned that Padre Francisco was standing
up for the slaughtered Sicilian brigands
went right off and hired a pew in his
cathedral. What charming man he is
Padre Francisco, mean-so gentle, so
benevolent, so self-abnegnatory. He
loves Italian art too; / admire him for

An EgeIesg Eden

There is only one territory of any
size, and there has never been but one,
occupied by any considerable popu-
lation, from which woman is absolute,
ly excluded. Yet such a place exists
to>day, and has existed for centuries.
As far back as history reaches, 10 all
females it ha~ been forbidden ground.
This bachelors Arcadia is situated ON
a bold plateau between the old Pc
ninsula of Acte, in the Grecian arch.
ipeligo and the mainland. Here in
the midst OF cultivated fields and ex-
tensive woodlands dwell a monastic
federation OF Greek Christians, with
twenty-three converts and numbers
ng more than 1000 souls, and not
one of the monestaries dates from
later time than the twelfth century,
A few soldiers guard the borders OF
this anti-teaaale land, and no woman
is allowed to cross the frontier. Nor
is this all. The rule is extended to
every female creature, and from time
immemorial no COW, mare, hen, duck
or goose has been permitted to make
acquain lance with this territory.
