 "Isn't it too sweet for anything; my dear old friend and school-fellow has gone to England to be married!
 "'And Miriam will wed the marquis, lord Of high degree.'"
 The speaker was n friend of Mrs. Frank Leslie, and she thus announced to the writer the approaching wedding of that distinguished literary lady to the most noble, the Marquis de Leu vile. Then she proceeded:
 "She deserves a good husband if any woman ever did. We first became ac- 1 quainted at q fashionable boarding school as long ago as 1S45. I often used to visit her father and mother, Mir. and Mrs. Charles Follin, at their home on Bleecller street during the holidays, as our people were well acquainted with them. Then later I knew her brother, who became the agent of Lola Montez in San Francisco and accompanied her on her tour to Australia. Poor fellow! he l committed suicide by throwing himself overheard from the vessel upon which she Lola Montez troupe had returned to America. heard from Miriam who had left school of the sad interview be- tween her mother and the famous actress, and how she threw herself at Mrs. Follin's feet, saying: I have killed your son! l have killed your sonv
 ''rhis was about the time, yes it was in 1854 when Mrs. Leslie married her first husband, MT. David Charles Pea cock, but he treated her very badly and a divorce was obtained in the supreme court of New York, by Judge James Roosevelt. Yes, the marriage was de- clared null and void in 1856. Her dear friend, Lola Montez, then obtained per mission from Miriam's mother to per init her to go upon the stage, for which she declared Miriam had a natural apti- tude. They travelled together as sis ters, and remember seeing in an illus trated paper an engraving of Lola Mon- tez and Miriam crossing the Hudson at Albany, in the midst of ice, in a small boat to keep their engagement in that city.
 But the best of friends must part" she continued, land 1t was we'll for my friend that it was so, for no theater was ever good enough for her. She was too great a genius and heroine, and the world of society and letters was her stage. She married again, and this time to Hon. Ephraim George Squier, the celebrated author, whom she ac- companied to Central America at the time he was United States minister and negotiated treaties with Nicaragua, Honduras and San Salvador. You know he wrote quite a number of books, very learned ones, and he was the editor of Frank Leslie's Illustrated Paper. They were married in 1858, at Providence, k. l., and then he was we'll off, be- cause besides being great diplomat and author, he was also president of a railroad with a large income. Squier, however, struck bad times and it turned

SIR WILLIAM DEFEATED.

The Jury Decides Against Him in the Baccarat Case.
 LONDON, June 10.-The jury in the baccarat trial returned verdict against SIT William Gordon-Cumming.
 From the time the jury retired to de- nberate upon their verdict until the mo- ment they returned to court only 15 minutes elapsed, showing apparently that they were of one opinion as to the merits of the case.
 The announcement of the verdict was received with slight hissing in the court upon the part of those who were in sym pathy with the plaintiff. These marks of disapprobation, however, were prompt ly suppressed, and as the court room be- gan to be vacated by it's deeply inter- ested, chatting audience, the curtain may be said to have been lowered over the Tranby- Court drama.
 Sir William Gordon-Cumming was married the first thing this morning to Miss Garner of New York. After the ceremony they went to Scotland where they will remain until they sail for America, in September. When the visit there is ended they will return to Scot land and settle down at Altyre.
 Commenting on the Cumming trial the Post, this morning, says it has no desire to add anguish to the sad ending of a brilliant career, but the fact remains that signing the document rendered it impos- sible for eminent counsel, however dex- terous, to rehabilitate the honor that Cumming himself treated so lightly.
 The News says it was really a second affair of the diamond necklace, the accu- sations being of secondary importance to the surroundings. It is a pity that the heir to the throne was at the baccarat table. The Prince should show cleanly life to his future subjects. It is gro- tesque to have the Prince carrying around baccarat counters wherever he goes, as a Mohammedan carries his pray

Republican papers have long been telling their readers that Mir Reid, backed by the administration, was hard at work to secure the free admission of American pork into France, and that there was a probability that he would succeed. Now comes the news that the French government has decided not to admit American pork free of duty, but to largely increase the existing duty therrupon. That's the kind of diplomat MT Reid is.

ONrE m u while you will find an honest and conscientious republican who does not believe that the financial policy of the administration is dictated from Wall street. We'll, perhaps it isn't, but appearances certainly give one that impression. For instance: Secretary Foster sends out a circular letter notify ing the holders of the four and a half per cent bonds that will mature next September that they may be extended at one or one and one half Der cent in tercst. As soon as that letter is made public he goes to New York, where four days ago he was guest of one of the Wall street money kings, and now he thinks that it will only be justice to the banks which already own half of the $60,O00,000 of these bonds and which will take all that are surrendered by other parties, to make the interest two Der cent, which was the figure men toned by the Wall street men. Doesn't that look suspicious.

 TIIE courts of Ohio have decided that game of base ball on Sunday is viola tion of the law. The base ball umpire, however. decides that game of base ball consists of nine innings, and that eight innings cannot constitute a game A rrp"Lt comes from the west that the courts have not been able to upset this able decision, and that the eight inning game on Sunday goes on. Eight in- nings are quite satisfactory for Sun day diversion, ana as it is one inning short of being a violation of the law, the base ball fraternity are willing to put up with it until they can get the sunday law repealed. Under this deli cate construction of the statutes it is likely that base ball umpire would hold that q man could not be convicted of stealing a calf under the COW act.

zeal is issued and, as usual, contains
much information of value to those
engaged in sugar and other tropical
products. The editor calls attention
to the cost of producing sugar, re-
gardiug which there is a great diver
sity Of opinion. This would be a
good topic for discussion at the Octo-
Der meeting of the Planters society.
IL sugar cannot be made for less
than three cents per pound it will be
better to abandon it's cultivation and
take up other staples.
Attention is called to new variety
of banana, called the "Giant Fig

SOME idea of the tourist trave

SOME idea of the tourist travel
between New York and Europe
can be obtained from the statement
published in American papers that
from My to September the total
number of tourists to Europe will
not be less than 150, 000, or 1000 II
week, the average expenditure Of
which is not less than 200 each.
Extra efforts in the Way Of circu-
lating guides and other pamphlets
containing full particulars on every
subject regard ng which informa-
ton is sought by tourists and in
valids, already will result in bring
ing to our islands, next seas1n, IL
larger number than have heretofore
come. For round tickets from San
Francisco. or from New York, to
Hawaii and back, even lower fig
ures than are now established might
be secured, which would be sure to
result in increased travel. All VINO
come here are loud in their praises
of the advantages of this route and
the benefits derived from a trip
hither.
