LONDON, April THE lady to whom
Mr.. Parnell is said to have been privately
married since the O'Shea divorce suit is
the eldest daughter OF Mrs. O'Shea. The
extreme privacy with which the ceremony
was performed is attributed to the fact
that the yonng lady is ward ia chancery.
Although she Is twcntY one years of age,
the marriage could not be lawfully SOL
emnized without the assent of the court,
and by his action Mr.. Parneil lays himself
open to prosecution.

a steam crane has been constructed
for employment on the Manchester ship
canal which has done some remarkably
good work, both in hard and in soft ma
terihl. The machine is an ordinary ten
ton locomotive crane with an excavator
attached to the iib, the whole being car
ried on a steel truck fitted with wheels.
The principal feature of the ~excavator is
the method by which the bucket is fed
up to its work. This is done by a sle-
cial steam cylinder, which is bolted to
the arms carrying the bucket, and by
means of which the bucket can be
moved in or out a distance of two feet
MS desired. In making a cut the bucket
is first lowered to the bottom of the cut
ting, and then fed up to its work by the
steam cylinder, the valves of which are
controlled from the footplate of the ma
chine.
The lifting gear is then applied, and
the bucket is swept up the face of the
cutting by means of the lifting gear.
In practice entire cuttings up to 20 feet
deep and 40 feet wide have been worked
by these machines, the output varying,
so the makers state, from 200 to 800
wagons Of 4 cubic yards Zach per day of
eleven hours. The cost Of such excava-
ton and delivery into g is said to
be a trifie less han two cents per cubic
yard.-New York Commercial Adver-

VIII Hunt No More Quail in Florida.
Three Nimrods who have been hunting
quail near here for some weeks past were
On Thursday last treated to an experience
that they will never forget.
They were hunting that morning in
the fat woods near Beresford, and, while
trying to locate a covey of quail that
their dogs had flushed close to a growth
Of high palmettoes, one of the party who
was some distance from the others sud
denly called out, "A rattler!' His dog
was only a few feet in front of him,
when all at nee he sprang to one side
quicker han a flash and came '.to heel"
On the instant there came from under
the palmetto that well known but dread
ed sound to the hunter-the rattle.
To locate the snake was an impossi-
bility, for the peculiar noise that ema-
mates from that vibrating tail so affects
the drum Of the ear that, unless the snake
is seen, it wOuld seem to be within a
radius of but a few feet. but where you
cannot tell. Finally, after much caution
by the hunters, with the aid of a stick al
least ten feet long, the palmettoes were
beaten down enough to see his head
raised out Of a gopher hole" Angry
and fierce he looked; his eyes seemed
fairly to emit sparks of fire. After gaz.
ing at him for a short instant, one of the
party fired, hitting him full on the head,
and the hideous warning ceased. Then,
with II forhed stick and the united efforts
of two, he was pulled out of his retreat.
His length was five feet and ten inches,
and he girted at the center of the body
twelve inches and one-quarter-having
twelve rattles. One of the party re-
marked: "Gentlemen, | have seen my
first rattle on its natural domain in
Florida, aud I'm ready to quit. If quail
live in their locality, even if every bird
had a new $40 silver certificate tied TO it,
Isay let it go."-De Land Cor, Florida

For the commerce and trade of Mex
leo there are thirty-eight custom houses
in that country, nine Of which are on
the gulf, one on the Guatemala frontier,
fifteen on the Pacific coast, and thirteen
on the frontier of the United States.
Matamoras was at one time a large COM
mercial port, but American railroads to
the upper border towns awe deprived it
of the greater bulk of its trade, although
the country around is settled up and the
soil is exceptionally fertile.
Vera Cruz just about beat Progreso in
its maritime business in 1850. From
Progreso the principal product exported
to the United States is "hennequeu fiber,
a variety Of hemp. OF the ports ON the
Pacific coast Mazatlan i. the most i'm

and being the distributing point for the

The Mexican Naval Bureau of the Pa

In Coles place aud ut the day nursery

this purpose a small selection of books
has been carefully made, and the intelli-
gent lady in charge furnishes to each
boy or girl the book which is to be used
that evening.
The teacher in charge begins each
evening by a general reading. which is
always heard with interest. After ff-
teen minutes spent in this WAY, each
child takes the seat provided ut the ia

comfortable room spends the evening in
reading something which is profitable.

In n of the tropical greenhouses at
the Harvard botanic garden in Cam
bridge may be seen in flower a wonder
full and noble plant belonging to the or
child family. This magnificent plant,
which is technically named Angraecum
sesquipedale, is a native of Madagascar,
where it is found growing upon trees.
In its native country its stem is from
three to four feet high; the leaves, about
a foot long, dark, shining green. The
flower is about six inches in diameter,
ivory white, with a spur from twelve to
eighteen inches long, and it has a power
full fragrance, particularly at night. 1t
was discovered about seventy years go,
but was not introduced in n living state
until 1857. 1t has become famous as
one of the orchids which Darwin was
specially interested in on account of
the exceptional length of its spur. The
plant at the Cambridge Botanic garden
is a particularly good specimen, and has
four spikes of flowers, with three blooms
on each spike.-Bostou Journal.

Gently an arrow head, made of tempered
copper, and a number of human bones,

face of the earth, imbedded in a vein of
silver bearing ore. Over 800 worth of
ore chung to the bones when they were
removed from the mine.
Theimportant feature of this discovery
is the fact that these relics were found

The obnoxious passport system in AL
sace-Lorraine seems likely to be modified
at last, after two years vexations. Prob
ably foreigners will be required to notify
the authorities of each place of their
arrival and stopping place, and obtain a
card authorizing their sojouru if they
propose any heightened stay-a plan
already adopted in France and Switzer-
land. When the foreigner remove to
another town or village this caro- must
receive a fresh official visa, and after two
months stay in n place the card will
be replaced by a regular permit of resi-
dence. Foreigners only passing through
can make the declaration through the
hotel keepers. After a short trial Of this
system passports may probably disappear

1t is reported here that the people
along the line of the Kentucky Union
railway, above Clay City, are almost in
a destitute condition. Last summer
these people We're working on the rail
road and failed to cultivate the usual
crops; consequently they have no prov
ender to feed their stock. The railroad
has run short of funds and their wages
have not been paid; consequently they
have no money. a gentleman who had
recently been in the mountains along
