BERNHARDT'S LATEST WHIM.
She Has Bought Fort and VIII Make it a
Summer Home,

Nine. Bernhardt, says the Paris COR
respondent Of the Boston Transcript has
become the owner of sublime solitude to
which she has temporarily retired from
the world. She has bought at the price
of an old song dismantled fort at Belle
lie, off the coast-of Brittany, which she
has done up sufficiently to serve the pur-
pose of summer refuge. There she will
be able to satisfy her craving for the roar
of the Atlantic waves, whose sound, as
they break against the rocks of Belle lie,
close to the spot where her fort is
perched, is positively terrifying. Last
summer made a voyage to this charm
ing little island within sight of Quiber.
on, and can therefore speak of it from
knowledge. I expected to be interested in
the descendants of the Arcadians who
after much wandering found resting
place on the island, where they received
grants of land and cattle and had houses
built for them by the King of France. !
looked in vain, however, for an Evange-
line. The few descendants of the wan
derers who remain uIOn the island are
not to be distinguished from the rest OF
the peasants for fisher people, except by
their names in the male line. These are
Norman, whereas the islanders of the old
stock have Celtic names. But if the in
habitants generally are less interesting
than the Bretons of the mainland, the
island itself is certainly more beautiful
than any other off the coast of France.
The charm of the little bays or creeks,
with their yellow sands, is winning; but
what leaves a lasting impression of Belle
lie on the mind is the grandeur of its
cliffs, its sea caves and its fantastic
rocks. When gale, or even half gale,
is blowing from the West, there is
no more sublime and awe-inspiring spec
tacle than that of the Atlantic waves
rolling in over the reefs and scattered
rocks on what is called the cote savage.
Nine. Bernhardt has certainly chosen a
retreat where she will get plenty of fresh
air. If she remains there long enough
there will be days when she will not
dare to leave her fortress for fear of being
blown away beyond all recovery.

The forced retirement of Prof. E. W.
Bemis from the chair of political economy
in the University of Chicago is causing a
good deal of speculation and comment in
Chicago. A story widely current is that
the Professors teachings were not
relished by the Standard Oil monopolists,
the most liberal patrons of the university
and that it was from them the pressure
came that forced him to resign. To an
inquiry by the Chicago News as to the
cause of Prof. Bemis's retirement, Dr.
Harper, the president of the university,
positively refused to say anything. Prof
Bemis is equally reticent, though he is
credited with saying that the faculty had
at different times urged as many as ten
different reasons for his retirement. He
intimates that he expects some public
statement from the university and that
when it is made he will give his side Of
the case. A movement is on foot among
his friends in Chicago, to establish him
in the chair of political economy in the
Northwestern University.

Electric Roads in Japan.
I From the New York Times.

American electrical engineers are re-

Japan about the most modern electrical
appliances. An electric railway is about
to be laid between Toxic and Yokohama,
with double rails throughout the whole
length of eighteen miles. The plans are
prepared with great intelligence, and 1t
is noticeable that every part of the install

= Sanguine Republicans are predicting
that Louisiana's electoral vote will be
given next year for the Republican candi-
date for President. The financial losses
which the people Of that state met with
owing to the tariff legis lation of the last
Democratic Congress, have made great
impression upon them, and opened their
eyes to the fact that there is something
better than the blind devotion to the
Democratic party that they have main
tained for years. Down in Maryland
there are signs that the Democrats are
not to have a walkover next year, the
principal Democratic organ of the State
says that there is great danger that the
Democrats may lose the State this fall
owing to the bitter dissentions in theil
ranks.

The New York legislature at it's recent
session passed an act authorizing counties
and towns to refund to persons who were
drafted in 1863 and hired substitute the
money they paid for the substitute. But
Judge Brown of one of the State courts,
decides that the law is unconstitutional.
holding that money paid by drafted
person for a substitute was money paid
for his own personal benefit and not for a
public object. That seems to be sensible
decision, but it was common practice
during the war for cities and towns to
appropriate money to purchase substitutes
for drafted men, and it would seem to
have been no more legal to do it than
now.

There is said to be strong probability
that President Cleveland will nominate
either Mr.. Hornblower or Mr.. Peckham
as Justice jackson S successor. Of course
if he does Senator Hill will feel bound by
consistency, to make fight against their
very different body from the one in which
Mr. Hill defeated their confirmation be-
fore, but what is known as Senatorial
courtesy is strong in any Senate, and it
is pretty hard work for the President to
get through a nomination which is
opposed on personal grounds by both the
Senators Of the State from which the
nominee is selected. = A@S,s
The labor agitat6fs have promptly noti-
fed Lord Salisbury that the Troy victory
was entirely due to them, and that they
shall expect recognition. In a sense they
are right, though not in the sense they
inten. Doubtless Liberal coquetry
with socialism and Laborism drove of
many voters who have generally sup
ported that party, and it was the labor
agitators and their big claims that in
duced this coquetry. In this way the
labor agitators contributed to the Troy
victory. But it was kind of assistance
that Lord Salisbury is not under obliga
tion to recognize-which it would bt
dangerous for him to recognize.
