Professor William Watts, assistant

AN ORIGINAL DRAWING.
BY John White, Who Was the First
Illustrator OF America.

BY John White, Who Was the First
Illustrator OF America.
In the British museum there is pre-
served John Whites original draw
ings in water colors illustrating Sir
Walter Raleigh's voyage into Vir-
ginia in 1885. This John White was
an English painter who was sent by
Queen Elizabeth in 1885 to Virginia
as principal draughtsman in Raleigh's
second expedition for exploring the
country and planting his first 'col
onie,' says the Art Amateur. Tho
expedition of seven ships was under
the command of Admiral Sir Richard
Granville. the ancestor of the founder
of the Granville library in the Brit.
ish museum.
This first ''colonic," consisting of
1913 men, remained in Virginia one
whole year and then returned to
England in July, 1886, in Sir Francis
Brakes fleet, then coming victorious
from the West Indies, because the
long-eXpecte supplies and reinforce
mcnts from England had not arrived
Fourteen days afte" their departure
Sir Richard Grenvillc arrived with
new stores and new planters to find
the old "colon'e" deserted. Little is
known respecting John White. 1t is
recorded, however, that he made four
voyages to Virginia and that during
the second expedition he was APP
pointed governor In 1887. He was
the grandfather of Virginia Dare. the
first English child born in North
America. In 1888 Theodore de Bry.
on visit to London, was induced to
engrave the said drawings. and his
work was issued in l59J in folio at
Frankfort.
Copies of this book are very rare
There is very imperfect one in the
library at Harvard college. 1t is
suggested by Mr. Louis Pagan Of the
British museum that the fac SMILES
should be made of both the drawings
and encraviugs as memento of tho
o,umbian exhibition.

authorities the assurance that my

But on the night when the evacua-
tion was in progress | learned from
reliable sources that a change had
been made in the orders and that the
torch was likely to be applied to the
property at any moment
l resolved to seek an immediate
interview with General Sherman him

untimely nour, for 1t was past mid
night-of reaching the presence Of
the federal chief. had little trouble
Of ascertainlng that his headquarters
were in tho - residence in West
Jackson, and before many minutes
had passed was at the front gate Of
the place, where, to my great sur
prise, found no guards to check my
progress The house was quiet and
unlighted, so far as | could discern.
Somewhat puzzled l paused for q
minute or two and said to myself
"Surely this is not the headquarters
of great United States army. !"
But seeing no one to inquire OF I
opened the gate, went up to the houss
and on to the porch. For some min
utes l stood there listening, but I
heard no sound within nor was there
any guard to challenge my intrusion.
Through a shaded transom l caught

and my steps aroused him. He turned
over and looked at me.
"What do you want?" he demanded.
IL want to see General w. Il. Sher-
man"
''Im General Sherman. What do
you want?"
explained as briefly as possible.
He said shortly in substance that his
orders were to spare the factory
that they would be obeyed. He said
that he wanted to go to sleep. He
stretched himself and shut his eyes.
and | walked out and returned up
town. A few hours later the factory
was in ashes.
"And you say that General Sherman
had no body guards?"
II say that entered his bed room
and left it without being challenged.
In fact. without meeting a soul except
the general himself"
This remarkable incident was told
in Green's bank, and the narrator
was Joshua Green, it's founder and
president.

The architecture of the terminal

WnnIh Re a Lively War.

If border warfare shall arise over
Maryland's claim to a part of West
Virginia, it is likely TO be one of the
liveliest of recent times. The noun
taineers of West Virginia are a pic
turesque and rugged people, desper-
ately poor, haters of excisemen and
lovers of liberty. Many of them, from
their high nests, Watched with indif-
ferent interest the war of secession
and felt themselves lucky in their iso-
lat!on. Their language is full of
strange words, their morality is sim
pie code and he one hrst-rate article
in the house is the rifle, that every
man and not few of the women know
well how to handle.

The Kryptophone.

The kryptophone, invented by r.
Henry in 1888, is said TO have been SC
perfected recently as to promise prac-
teal results In this instrument a very
sensitive receiving diaphragm is SO
that it will respond to and
transmit air vibrations produced by
any noise to a distant telephone-ah
alarm bell being provided at the re-
ceiving station to attract the attention
of the attendant. The sensitiveness
of the apparatus is said to be such that
with the receiving diaphragm i'm
mersed in body of wa ter the pulsa
tions of steamboat, from two to three
miles distant, are readily discernible.
Buried in a roadway the diaphragm is
claimed to give warning of the APP
proach of vehicles and foot passengers
at a considerable distance.

MATRIM MIKES.
Two Husbands at the Grave of TheiI
wife and Vice Versa.

wife and Vice Versa.
II Is not so long ago that two ladies
attended the obsequics Of their nus
band, and. indeed, though the incl
dent was uncommon, there Is no rea-
son in this age of divorces why it
should he so. II was said at the
time. however, that the case was un-
paralleled, and also that the atten-
dance Of two husbands at the grave
OF one wife had never happened in
England. This, nevertheless, took
place in the case of the lady married
to Lord Dalmeny, eldest son of the
second carl of Rosebery, in 1855.
Their union took place without the
knowledge of their relatives on
either side; but it was very happy
one. When they were abroad to-
gether, her ladyship was stricken
with mortal illness. aud, calling for
pen and paper, wrote these words:
81 am the wife of the Rev. Mr..
Cough, rector of Thorpe, in Essex;
my maiden name is Catherine Can
non. and my last request is to be
buried at Thorpe" Amazed be-
yond expression, but losing moth
ing OF his affection for his late
wife through this confession, Lord
Dalmeny embalmed the body and
brought it to England. He was, one
conjectures, young man, and the
circumstances were such as might
well have disturbed even judicious
mind He wnS inn IN
land under a feigned name at Col.
chester, where the custom-h house
officers insisted upon opening the
chest on suspicion of its containing
Struggled goods. Upon this, much
more serious complications arose, and
it became necessary to give a full ex-
PLANTATION of the matter, and to send
for Mr.. Cough to identify the body.
The meeting of the indignant hus-
band with the man who had unwit-
tingly wronged him was: we are told,
most moving: .'of the twO. the latter
appeared most solicitous" (Which is
not altogether surprisingly 'to do
honor to the deceased. He had
splendid coffin made for her, and at
tended her corpse to Thorpe, where
Mr.. Cough met him. and the burial
was performed. with all due solom-
nifty, in the presence of them both.
His lordship. we are told, departed
afterward "inconsolable"; but it
seems he married again, and was
probably more careful in making in
quiry as to the lady's antecodents.
