THE DUCHESS REGIMENT.

ment of Highland Laddies.

menr OF Highland Ladies'
Near the close of the last century
rumors OF a French invasion alarmed
Great Britain and reused military arior
to such an extent as to lead 10 fresh
regiments being raised. In one OF
series of interesting sketches by Hon.
Mrs. Armytage. of British Mansions
and the Mistresses Past and Present"
recently published in Tinsley's Maya
zine. the raising by the famous duchess
OF Gordon of the battalion of Gordon
Highlanders. which has since held
such distinguished place in British
military annals. is thus described: The
duchess of Gordon is said TO have had a
wager with the prince regent as 20
which of them would first raise bat
talon qnd the fair lady reserved 70 her
self the power of offering a reward
even more attractive than the kings
shilling.
AT all events, the duchess and Lord
Huntly started off on their errand, and
between them soon raised the required
number of men. The mother and son
frequented every fair IN the country

landers to come forward in support Of
king and country and to enlist in her
regiment. and, when all otlser argu-
ments had failed, rumor stated that a
kiss from the beautiful duchess won
the doubtful recruit.
"She soon announced TO headquar-
tiers the formation of a regiment, and
entered into all the negotiations with
the military authorities in most bust
nesslike manner, reporting that the
whole regiment were Highlanders save
thirty-five. Lord Huntly was given
She first command OF this corps,

LOST ATT ANTS.
DIR. Richardson DiscOu on Highly Inter-
es ing subject

Dr. Richardson's lecture 1.-THE Lost At
lautis," delivered at Lewis academy last
night, is one which, while highly imagina-
tive. does not, after all, strike the nearer
as dealing with the imaginary. so strik-
Ingy are compared the points of resem-
blance between people so widely Remote AS
the AZttcS and the EEyp,ianS the Peru
vians and the PhOeniciaus, not to mention
the Chinese and the North American In
dams The lecturer builds up something
more than an hypot heosis. using reason no
more obscure and analOgies no farther
fetched, than have been for many years
deemed enough to prove the central
Asatic origin II the so-called lndo-Euro-
pean race. The conclusion is almost ire
sistibe that beneath the Atlantic lies the
lost key to all the mystery of history, aud
this is induced not by flights OF fancy buG
by an array of indi>puiable facts. The
lecture is packed full of them; still 1t
leaves the suggestion that there Is more
where that came from, and we would hum
bly, suggest that "a long felt want will some
day be Supplied By the man who brings
together into one volume The Lost At
lpnflS. "

A STUFFED CLUB.
LeweIIlng Colored PopuIists Have a Bogus
Membership.

The colored PopulIsts, in their anxiety
TO get members hip for the Lewelling club,
fail, it seems, to get the consent OF those
whom they would thus honor(?). At the
meeting held night before last at which
they alleged that twenty five members
Joined, they inserted the name of Ben
Hatcher among the rest. Ben was hot
when he SAW that he was published as
Popuist and he has tried to deny the
grave aud serious accusation IN the fol-
lowing note TO the EAGLE:

The interview with Mr.. j.. o. Graves,
president OF the Chamber OF Commerce,
regarding the Lake Washington canal.
which is published in another column,
emphasizes the necessity for united and
earnest work in support of this most I'M
portsnt project.
The people of King county realize fully
all OF the advantages that viii result from
the successful completion of the work.
The representatives of the state In congress
have succeeded in securing the legislation
necessary to start the enterprise. Once
well under way and very little effort viii
be required to push the canal TO COM
pletion.
# now remains with the people of the
county and with the property owners
along the line of the canal 70 cooperate
with the committee having the matter in
charge and consummate without delay all
preliminary arrangements. Mr.. Graves
has stated clearly tie present condition of
the enterprise and what steps should now
be taken TO hasten the work.
There should be no delay and no hold

and ACT quickly. The government has done
its part It now remains for the people most
interested to do what is required Of them
in connection with the right-of-way.

THE BALTIC CANAL.

The North Sea and Baltic canal was
officially opened this fall. It's value in
time of war will be very great. and il was
on that ground that the Imperial German
government voted SIS, 10000 and the
Prussian government 81. 5oo, 600 for its
construction The canal extends from
Kiel, on Kiel bay. a. the southwest corner
of the Baltic sea, southwesterly across
Sehieswig- Holstssn TO Brunsbuttel, on the
EIbe. near the debouchure of that river
into the North Sea. IL Is about sixty-ons
miles long. and is twenty eight feet deep
and 20 feet wide, so that it will give pas
sage TO the largest ships.
The sea coast of Germany Is DIVIDED
into two parts, one on the Baltic. the
other on the North sea. separated by the
peninsula Of Denmark. The chief naval
stations on these two stretches of coast are
respectively Wilhelmshaven and Kiel.
Hitherto, for vessels to get from one of
these 10 the other it was necessary to
make the circuit of Denmark, round the
skaw and pass through the Skager Rack.
the Cattegat and either the Great Belt or
the Sound.
This is long and dangerous voyage,
open to attack by hostile navies, but the
canal gives In place of it a route less than
one-fifth as long and entirely included in
German territory. The whole navy can
be massed for the defense of Lubbock in
the morning and in the afternoon Of the
same day be in battle array at Hamburg
or cuIhaven. Practically the defensive
power of the German navy is thus doubled.
Not less than IS. 600 vessels pass through
the Sound each year. and 1t is expected
that a large share of this traffic will in the
future seek the canal. Between Hamburg
and Crons.adt. for example. there will be
by means of the canal saving Of about
$50 miles, and from London to Baltic ports
saving of more than $50 miles The tolls
TO pay win be about 20 cents q ton.
The promoters of the canal estimate
that at least half the Baltic trade will pass
through the canal, say 1900 vessels of
an aggregate OF $500, 900 tons. II so, the
receipts from tolls will be more than
81. 900. 600 year. while the cost of main
tanning and operating the canal will be
less than $500, 600
