SHE FIRED SOLID SHOT
Outrage by a Spanish Cruiser on an American Schooner.
WAS CHASED FOR SEVERAL MILES.

The spanisIl Officer Only Wanted to Know
 Shot Almost Struck a sailor-There wnI
 Be an Investigation. .-@
 BREAKwATER, Del, July 25.-Captain Quick of the American schooner Carrie A. Lane, upon his arrival here, had a tale to tell about thrilling encounter in Gu ban waters with Spanish gunboat. Two shots were fired at the Lane by the man of-war, and one of the schooner's crew narrowly escaped being killed by one of them. The vessel was made to heave to and give an account of herself before be- ing allowed to proceed.
 The schooner was off Port Antonio and making good time before stiff breeze when on the 14th inst. she sighted a steam CT flying the Spanish flag following her. Captain Quick at first paid no attention to the stranger, but after an hour or so noticed that she. was signaling him to stop. He then examined her more closely, but could only make out that she looked like large tugboat, such as is usually to be found in the harbors about Philadel- phia New York and other American sea- ports.
 While he was making up his mind what course to pursue puff of smoke curled
 
 round shot whistled uncomfortably close to the schooner's nainmast and plunged | into the water on the lee quarter. Captain | Quick gave the order to haul in sail and 1 bring the vessel to, and while this was l being done one of the crew ran out on the | bowsprit.
 | As he stood there the gun on the Span | ish warship boomed again, and another I shot sped on it's way toward the American l craft this time coming so close to her that the sailor on the howsprit swears he dis tinctly felt the wind caused by its rapid | flight.
 1 Boarded by the Spanish.
 The Lane soon came to dead stop, and l the gunboat drew mp under her quarter. A boat was lowered, and four Spanish marines, under the command of lieuten- ant, came aboard. They were fully armed, | and their leader very civilly lifted his cap and demanded to know from what port | the Lane had sailed and whither she was l bound
 Captain Quick gave the required in- | formation and produced his clearance | papers in proof of his assertions. No fur | ther search was made, and the vessel was 1 permitted to continue on her course with. | out further molestation.
 Captain Quick says that he could not get the name of the gunboat, although he tried to do so, and can give no further de scription of her than that she resembled an American tugboat. He adds that after the first shot was fired at the Lane he caused the stars and stripes to be hoisted at the peak, but the only response the Spanish vessel made to this was second shot. The gunboat did not hoist her colors until after tho first shot was fired.
 As soon as Captain Quick reached here | he wired to the agents in Philadelphia, and will await advices from them before determining upon what course to pursue
 He thinks that the Lane must have been mistaken for fflibustering craft, but in sists that there is nothing in her appear ance to justify this belief. Besides this the vessel is well known to West Indian | waters.

'No Harsn Done," Says De Lome.

SwAMPscoTT, Mass, July 25.-The Spanish ambassador, Senor Dupuy de Lome, when questioned concerning the firing on the schooner Carrie A. Lane by a Spanish man. f-war, said that the press dispatch was the first intimation he had received of the affair, and that owing to the absence of full details of the story he was unable to discuss the matter.
 Senor de Lome said, however: ''The commanding officers of all the Spanish men-of-war have received strict orders not to interfere with lawful traffic on the high seas. There may have been something in the appearance of this schooner to arouse the suspicious of the man-of-war, and she was accordingly overhauled. There was no harm done anyway" concluded the ambassador, "in ascertaining the port the vessel hailed from. ''

The Poetry Of MatrimOny.

Her constant aim is to be interesting
to her husband. She multiples herself.
In turn she is his friend, his confidante.
his partner in business, his chum, and,
if may use the word in it's best and
most refined sense, his mistress. She
is forever changing her appearance
For instance, you will seldom see a
French married woman wear her hair
in the same way longer than three or
four weeks. She knows that love feeds
on trifies, on illusion, on suggestion
She knows that, when man loves his
wife, a rose in her hair, new frock, a
bonnet differently trimmed, will revive
in him the very emotion that he felt
when he held her in his arms for the
first time. She also knows that the
very best dishes may sometimes be
come insipid if always served with the
same sauce.
She understands to a supreme degree
the poetry of matrimony. have heard
men say that matrimony kills poetry.
The fools There is no poetry outside
of it. And the poetry has all the more
chance to live long in French matri-
monial life because our wedding cere-
mOny is not, as in England, the end OF
courtship, but only the beginning OF it.
In France, when you have married
your wife, you have to win her, and
the process is very pleasant. have
often told my English friends that il
in their country there were not SO
many kisses INDUCED in before the
wedding ceremony. there would be a
great many more administered after 1T.
Why is the French woman of forty SO
attractive? Because every feature OF
her face shows that she has been petted
and loved.-FrOm "a STUDY IN WIVES

A TOUCHING APPEAL.

The following poetical appeal won

dollars offered for the best appeal poem
to newspaper men to pay up theirsub-

Lives of poor men oft remind us,
Honest men don't stand no chance;
The more we work. there grows behind us
Bigger patches on our pants.
On our pants once new and glossy,
Now are stripes Of different hue,
All because subscribers Inger,
And don't pay us what is dne.
Then let US be up and doing,
Send in your mite however small;
Or when the snow of winter strikes us,
We shall have no pants at all

Tarred and Feathered

Chas. n. Carman, a young farmer near
Jamesburg, N. j., was taken from his
home few nights ago by half dozen
men, and after being severely thrashed
was tarred and feathered. He was
then led two miles away and allowed
to return home. He has sworn out
warrants for the arrest of several OF his
assailants. Who they were he refused
to state.
Carman was to have been married
last month to young woman of James
burg, but after the invitations were
out the engagement was broken off. 1t
is claimed that he talked about the
former object of his affections in any
thing but i, gentlemanly way. Henry
Becker openly acknowledges being one
of the party, and says Carman dares
not bring criminal prosecution.
Becker states that the party was
partly made up of brothers of girl &C
uuaintances of Carman, who intended
to chastise him for talking about theil
sisters in an uncomplimentary manner
He says the party called at the CarmaI
farm, and while one of the number
persuaded him to come out of the
house the others hid. He was tied tC
a tree and each man gave him five
lashes. Tar and feathers were then
administered. No attempt was made
to conceal the identity of the party.
Albert Martin also acknowledge
having been one of the party, and de
fes Carman to prosecute him or any o.
bis fellows. He says they will bring
serious counter charges.

A FINE CRITICISM ON TENNYsoN.-
Young girls weep in listening to 1.-THE
Idyls of the King" Certainly, when
awhile ago we heard the legend of
Elaine" or Enid" read, we saw the
fair heads dropping under the flowers
| which adorned them and white shout
ders heaving with furtive emotion.
| And how delicate was this emotion!
Tennyson has not rudely trenched up
on truth and passion. He has risen to
the heights of noble and tender senti
ments. He has cleaned from AL ma
ture and all history what was most lofty
and amiable He had chosen his
ideas, chiseled his words, equaled, by
the diversity of his style, the pleasant
ness and perfection Of social elegance
in the midst of which we read them.
| His poetry is like one of those gilt and
painted stands in which flowers Of the
country and exotics mingle in artful
harmony their stalks and foliage, their
clusters and cups, their scents and
hues 1t seems made expressly for
these wealthy. cultivated, free bust
ness men, heirs of the ancient nobility,
new leaders of a new England. 1t is
| part of their luxury as of their morali
| ty 1t is an eloquent confirmation OF
their principles and a precious article
of their drawing room furniture.-M.

SWIft's Comet.
Observations OF Professor Stone OF the Uni
Yersity Observatory.

Observations OF Professor Stone of the Uni
yersity Observatory.
Professor Ormond Stone, director of
the Laander Mccormick Observatory
at the University of Virginia, gives the
| following interesting information con-
corning the comet recently discovered:
"Thanks to the clear weather of the
past month, considerable number of
positions were obtained here of Swift's
comet, discovered some weeks since.
This comet, though faint even when
there is no moon, and continually
growing fainter, is interesting as one
| of the increasing number of periodic
comets whose orbits have some point
near the orbit of Jupiter. These comets
have, in general, at some earlier time
come into the solar system from with
out. In doing so they have passed near
Jupiter, and their orbits have been 80
altered by the attractive force exerted
by that great planet that they have
| become either permanent or temporary
members of our solar system. The con-
nection of such comet with our plan
etary system is not necessarily perma-
nent since having once approached
sufficiently near to Jupiter to have its
orbit entirely changed a comet is likely
sooner or later to approach that planet
again, when its orbit may be altered in
an opposite manner, and the comet
pass off into the depths OF space, never
| to return.
1.-THE orbit of at least one comet
Lexell's-has undergone remarkable
changes on repeated occasions. Lexelfs
comet was first seen in ITO, when it
had period of only five and half
years. Nine years later, in 1779, it pass
ed close to Jupiter, when its orbit was
completely altered, and for more than
century afterwards it moved in an
orbit having a period of nearly twenty
seven years, until, in 1886, the comet
again came into the neighborhood of
Jupiter Since that time its orbit has
had a period of about seven years.
Such is the probable history of Lexell's
comet. We cannot, however, say with
absolute certainty that the comets seen
in ITO, 1779, and 1880. were identical.
1t will be interesting to see what will
happen when the comet and the planet
again approach one another.
'Swift's comet also has a period of
about seven years, and the same is
true of Faye's comet, the return Of
which has recently been announced"
