OFF FOR VENEZUELA.

Tbs entire North Atlantic Squadron has
been ordered to proceed Immediately to Vene-
zueia, and in pursuance of these orders the
flagship Philadelphia, Admiral Gherardi in
command, sailed from New York on Friday,
Sept g. Commodore Ramsay, Chief of the
Bureau OF Navigation, is Acting Secretary Of
Navy in the absence of both Secretary Tracy
aud Assistant Secretary Solely. The Commo-
dore had long conference on Thursday morn
ing, Sept. g. with Secretary of State John w.
Foster, at the close of which he admitted that
the Philadelphia would sail for Venezuela.
In an interview the Commodore was asked
by q reporter, "What is the particular necessity
for the presence of the Philadelphia in Vsns-
zuelan waters at the present time7"
1.-THE country is in state of revolution, and
there is no telling what may happen in that
condition of things"
"But the Concord and Kearsarge have been
sent there. have they not?"
yes, and now the whole squadron will GO
Sending one ship to q country in the state
Venezuels is in acts like 3 spatfy, but if
whole squadron puts in an appearance the peo-
pie and Government conclude that the country
back of them means business"
Has any assault been made upon, or dam
age done to, any American interest or resident
in Venezuelan"
"Not that know Of" responded the Com
modore, and We don't intend that there shall
be if we can help it,"
Inquiry at the State Department was met by
the statement that No additional news had been
received from Venezuela, but that it had been
deemed best, in view of the reports from that
country, to strengthen the moral force Of the
United States in the waters adjacent thereto.
Rear-Admirsl Walker will have command Of
the squadron. He was lately detached from
command of the squadron Of evolution and d.
rected to take charge of the vessels ordered
south. Rear-Admiral Gherardi, commanding
the North Atlantic squadron, was detached
from that duty and directed to proceed to Ssn
Francisco. where he will assume the duties of
commanding officer of the vessels on the Pacific
station, and bring them around to New York
to participate in the grand naval review on the
occasion OF the opening of the Worlds Fair.
He will use the San Francisco as his flagship.
Secretary Of State Foster received q private
telegram last week, dated Sept. 6. saying that
Crsspo has triumphed, and that the dictator
ship has been overthrown In Venezuela. Mr..
Foster says that this is the only information
that has been received.

WHY PRAlRlEs ARE BARE.
Mr.. Christy Says Because the Trees Have
Been Burned so Often.


Much attention has been attracted
by theory recently advocated with
great ingenuity by Miller Christy in
England that our western prairies owe
their treeless condition to fire. This is
by no means a new theory, but Mr..
Christy has developed the arguments in
its favor more fully than had been done
before.
Readers of Cooper's Misunderstanding
Tales" will remember the vivid descrip-
ton of a prairie fire in the account Of
the last days of old Natty Bumppo, and
nobody who has any knowledge of the
power and sweep of such confagrations
will question their capacity for destruc-
ton.
According to Mr.. Christy's view. as
reported in the Youths Companion, the
prairie fires, at the same time that they
have exterminated the forest trees,
have also enriched the soil by the sue
cessive deposit of many layers Of ashes,
which possess great value as manure,
so that the sweeping off of the trees
has not been an unmixed evil.
Where great forests may once have
hidden the face of the earth, according
to this view, we how have the broad
and wonderfully fertile grain fields Of
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska
and other states, and the agent that has
wrought the transformation is that de.
\ st-uctive and fearful element, fire.
In support Of his views, Mr.. Christy
points to the fact that trees are found
even on the prairies in spots where they
are to some extent protected from fire
and that young trees readily spring W
in many places, only to be swept away
again when the flames race across the
grass levels that surround them.

ABOUT TEA DRINKING.
One of Mems Delights Is Seeing 1t Poured

One Of Mems Delights Is Seeing 1t Poured
Out by Pretty Women.
The tea question seems to have a
great many phases, says the Philadel-
phia Record Articles are written for
and against its baneful qualities, and
women who preside at five o'clocks are
as tenacious of the superiority of the
particular sort they offer as they are of
the virtues of'their family physicians.
Oolong, Formosa, Orange Pekoe, and
the rest of them all have their Jealous
advocates. One of the best teas is un-
doubtedly a choice and mild Eng
fish breakfast. This tea has many
grades, the best being as delicate and
delicious as the poorest is rank and I'M
desirable. When it comes to the matter
OF brewing, theories again clash. How
much to each cup and to the pot, how
long to stand, to stir or not to stir
these are some of the rocks upon which
the ignorant go to pieces. c. P. Hun
tington, who is considered connoisseur
in tea, and who frequently offers a cup
to business friend in his Office, believes
in the stirring clause. He ladies out
the precious leaves, a teaspoonful to the
cup and one to the pot, pours on a very
little water, stirs it well, pours on lit
tie more water, lets it stand for little
less than minute, then pours off this
first decoction, which he asserts is not
acceptable to the educated tea palate.
After this he fills the measure with wa.
ter, of course freshly boiled. and in
three minutes offers a cup of amber
liquid, fragrant, smooth and delicious,
to his favored guests. Real tea lovers
take it unsugared and uncreamed; few,
indeed, nowadays are such vandals as
to take the latter trimming" though
many stiI incline to the swcetening
part. As somewhat romantic young
man puts it; Part Of the poetry of tea
drinking is the fascinating moment
when the pretty woman, clad in her
dainty tea gown, pauses, cup in one
hand and tongs daintily poised over it
with the other, and, looking up into
your face with most engaging express
sion, murmurs softly: One or two
lumpsY"

DOGS AS DETECTIVES.
One of England's Recent Horrors Disco
araH hv

One of England's Recent Horrors Discov-
cred by FoxhOund.
Dogs have more than once played de-
tective parts in the dramas of the past.
1t was dog which revealed the hiding
place of the remains of a poor little
girl murdered by an inhuman monster
named Fish, at Blackburn, England,
many years ago. Now it is learned
that the Althorp horror. which thrilled
England, was discovered by a dog.
The body Of the murdered woman was
undoubtedly found by laborer, but
the dogs sagacity led to the discovery.
The animal in question belongs to the
whip Of the Pytchley hunt, and the
smell Of decomposed flesh always
throws the dog into strange fever of
excitement A couple of DAYS
before the discovery the whip
was riding at AIthorp, and
as usual was accompanied by
this animal. He was passing the ditch
when he noticed the dog suddenly stop,
jump about in q most unusual manner
and whine piteously. The rider did not
at that time take any notice of this &C.
currence, and sharply calling his dog,
proceeded on his journey and thought
no more about the incident. Two days
later he again rode by the ditch, and
the dog pnce more showed similar signs
Of distress. The animal jumped and
capered about and vigorously shifted
the ground, but as before the whip did
not at the time attach the least impor.
lance to this curious conduct. When
he got to his home, short distance
away, he thought there might possibly
be something wrong, and simply on the
off chance he informed a laborer, who
went to ditch and, as stated. made the

NY HUSBAND.

About week after Hanley's depart

to find visitor awaiting me. The visi-
tor was gentleman, and his presence
SO affected me that for an instant | was
quite overcome with the surprise and
joy | felt in again beholding him. The
reader may readily guess that my visi-
tor was Charles Cornell.
1t is useless to detail what passed be-
tween him and me on the occasion of
that visit, and the score of others that
followed it. 1t is enough to say that
his visits were at short intervals, and
that he and l had plenty on each occa-
sion to engross our attention, and that
however long his visit it was far too
short for our satisfaction.

cy of bliss, which only true lovers know

The contest was spirited and bitter.
and Bernard moved heaven and earth
m his efforts to capture votes. He had n
greater incentive than.the rest in con.
gross to influence him. and that was his
hatred of Cornell and his desire to pun
lsh and humiliate me. Charles entered
the race With reluctance, fearing that
the opposition would revive the old
ISLANDERS against me and publish them
to the world, thus marring my happi-
ness, but | urged him on, saying that as
long as | was conscious of nv own
purity, and had his confidence. / was
not afraid of what the world might say
or think.
For two long months the contes,
ragged, Bernard and Anderson entering
into an agreement whereby all their eff
forts were waged against Mr. Cornell.
Everything that money, falsehood and
political trickery could do to bring sue
cess was resorted to by the opposition.
Bernard made personal canvass of the
district, scattering money freely every
where. Every newspaper that could be
subserved to his purpose was bought
over. Speakers of note were brought
in from other states, and every means
that could possibly be utilized to the
furtherance OF. his cause was brought
into requisition.
At last the day for the election came.
Charles went to the polls and voted
then returned home and proceeded
about his business, seemingly not at all
disturbed by any thoughts of the cleo
ton and the results. With me it was
different. l was so anxious, and so
fearful Of defeat for my husband, that
l could do nothing but pace the house
and the yard. As night approached the
tension on my nerves grew so intense
that could scarcely breathe. If Ber-
nard succeeded l felt that l should new.

anticipation as looked forward from
one visit to the next. How short, how
bright and how ethereal those three
months were! 1t seemed that the DAYS
were scarcely more than hours, and the
weeks came and went like dreams.
There was no longer any doubt
in my mind as to whom | loved.
That matter was clearly settled
when Charles Cornell made his first
visit, though the more saw of
him the more deep and broad my love
became. The love had for him was of
that steady, secure growth which ex-
pands day by day, rearing itself on a
foundation of true esteem and honor.
1t had nothing of the romantic passion
which characterizes ones first love, and
which burns intensely for time then
dies out. gr
When three months had passed l be-
came Charles Cornell's wife. Ours was
quiet wedding with few friends and
a simple ceremony, yet it was as happy
a day to me as ever mortal ex-
perienced since the creation of earth.
Mrs. Lawton did everything she could
to make the occasion pleasant She re-
GREETED parting from me, and since the
day when she learned ! was to be mar
ried she had sorrowed truly. After the
ceremony, and when we were preparing
to depart for our wedding journey, she
said:
Agnes, to lose you is like losing a
daughter, for l have learned to love
you almost as mother loves her own
child. Your stay with me has made a
wonderful change in my life, and l have
been so much happier since you came.
You do not know what you have been to
me, and how you have broken up and
dispelled the cloud Of grief which had
so long hung over me. am sorry,
Agnes, to see you go, yet | am glad YOU
are married to a man so good anG
noble as Mr.. Cornell. God bless you
my child, and may you always be a.
happy as you are to-day"
1t was quite awhile before | could
utter word in reply, my feelings wert
so wrought up by Mrs. Lawton's at
feeting speech, and the remembrane,
OF her many kindnesses to a strange
friendless, homeless girl, all of whicl
rushed into my mind like great food
