NOT At ALL ALARMED,
Brazil Is Not Worried by
the Demands OF
Italy.
Senior Mendonca Says His Country
Is Not to Be Disturbed by the
Ultimatum.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 3.-Senol
Mendonca, the Brazilian Minister here
has no official information concerning the
reported demand made by Italy upon the
brazilian Government for an answer within
seven days to Italy's demands for losses
sustained by the Italian subjects during
the revolution.
He is, in fact, at present in ignorance OF
the nature of the Italian claims. lie re-
called that Italy preferred some claims in
1864, growing out of alleged losses sustained
by Italian subjects during the war between
Brazil and Paraguay and Uruguay; but,
after some correspondence at the time, they
were allowed to lapse until the republic
was declared, after the dethronement OF
Senior Pedro. They were again presented
IN modified form, but we're considered SO
ridiculous by the Brazilian Government
tnat they were not pressed.
Senior Mondonca does not know whether
these claims are involved, or only claims
arising out of the Da CANA rebellion OF
1882 at Rio de Janeiro. Upon the sugges-
ton of the Associated Press reporter that
ltaly's demand for an answer within seven
days was rather peremptory, the Brazilian
Minister replied:
Brazil, of course, will settle any just
claims against her, but Brazil is no more
in position to be disturbed by perempt-
DRY demand than the United States.
Personally" he added, 81 do not believe
in the collection of debts by ultimatums."

GENERAL DOUGLASS BRIDE
Washington Society Gossiping
About Nellie Grants Com
ing Marriage.
Her Union With a Confederate OFF,
Ger Commentary on the Changes
Wrought by Time.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 3.-The
report from Chicago that Mrs. Nellie
Grant-Sartoris is to be married shortly to
General Henry Kyd Douglass of Maryland
is generally credited here. Mrs. Sartoris
herself declined to say anything this morn
ing on the subject All Washington So
ciety, in whose best circles the report is
credited, is gossiping about the approach
ing event. For Nellie Grant all the old
Washington families have had a warm
regard ever since she won them by her
winning ways as assistant to the mistress
of the White House. All the older resi-
dents remember well the talk that went
about when stalwart Algernon Satoris
came to WOO her, and the brilliant we'd
ding in the White House was function
that all the gossips of the capital still love
to talk about.
For Mrs. Sartoris abroad there were few
years of welded happiness, and then vague
stories of husbands cruelty and neglect
reached this country. Sartoris was of good
family, but was fair type of an English
man with too much money to spend. His
fortune was not an extravagant one, by
any means, but it was enough to assure
him liberty and grant him license. He
was fond of racehorses and sporting COM
pany, and fonder of the club than of his
home. His family were extremely kind to
the quiet American bride, and during the
years of trouble that followed they were her
stanch friends.
Three children were born to Mrs. Sar-
toris abroad and these are now so well
along in wears that the coming event can
make no great difference to them. Sar-
toris at one time gave signs of reforma-
ton, but his old habits had too strong a
hold to be easily broken from. There
came brief separation and then his death

LOWELL'S PLACE IN LETTERS.
A Criticism Which John Vance Cheney
Gave.

A Criticism Which John Vance Cheney
Gave.
"James Russell Lowelr' was the subject
of the third lecture delivered by John
Vance Cheney on American Poetry at
the Newberry Library, says the Chicago
Times-Herald. The lecturer divided his
theme into "the essays" and ''the poems. :"
In speaking CT the first, after paying a
tribute to Lowell, he said in the CLEAN,
the fash peculiar to the man of letters, fail
elsewhere as he may, we are certain of the
brightness and surprise. Approaching the
mastery quality of the essays, admitting
Lowell to be the only man of his time that
could write them granting the many gifts
that have brought him homage from the
literary class, why has not his influence
for culture spread wider and deeper2 Two
things seem clear-one, that his influence
for culture is greatly disproportional to his
gifts; another, that what is new in his
criticism lies mainly in the manner of
presentation, which so irradiate familiar
matter as to make it pass for new.
In speaking of the poems, after abiding
to "With Pressed Flower and to per
first promise OF a poet appeared in 1.-THE
Rose" The admirers of true Lowellian
poetry would find it more in "The Cathe-
dral'i than elsewhere. Browning himself
was never more poetic than was Lowell in
the description of the several seasons of
the year. Lowell was deficient in music
and proud as they might be of the odes,
especially of the commemoration ode, he
would not say they adorned Lowell any
more than that the drama adorned Tenny-
son. Coleridge has said that "Music is an
integral part of the imagination" The
half dozen poets whose song is ever ON the
breath of the world not only spoke in
music but thought in it.

CLOSING SCENES OF THE WAR.
A Confederate Band Which Deserted in
Body to Washington.

Confederate Band Which Deserted in
Body to Washington.
In the latter part of the month of March,
1865, Washington saw many signs of col
lapse of the rebellion. The Confederate
army appeared to be badly demoralized,
and deserters, who arrived constantly in
large numbers, reported that men from
Alabama, Georgia, Florida and the Caro-
linas could not be expected to have any
heart in fight which then seemed only
for the defense of Virginia, while their own
States were overrun by the armies of the
Union. During the month of March more
than 5000 deserters were received at Wash
ington, and great numbers were quartered
at Fort Monroe, Annapolis and other
points nearer the lines. where they were
put to work in theaquarteTmaster's depart
ment or In the naval service.
One curiosity of the tiEles was a Con-
federate regimental band which had de-
serted in body with its instruments, and
was allowed to march through the streets
OF the national capital playing Union airs.
This was one of the oldest signs of the
final breakup. People recalled story,
told by Hooker, that when the Union
army scaled and occupied Lookout Noun
tain rebel sentry on duty on the crest of
one of the most difficult precipices saw
our men pile up in masses over sleeps
which had been thought inaccessible, and
was SO surprised that he forgot to run,
but stood with feet rooted to the spot,
watching the. Union force climbing up and
streaming past him and driving the en-
envy far to the rear until he was left alone,
a statue of amazement. Recovering him
self at last, he threw down his musket,
stripped off his rebel-gray jacket, stood on
them both, and, looking far off to the
sunny South, stretched out as a map be-
fore him, said: Glow are you, Southern
Confederacy?"
But notwithstanding such indications of
a collapse of the rebellion, at this very
time many Northern Union newspapers,
led by Horace Greeley and Others of his
stamp, were demanding that appeals
should be made to the Southern people
ito stop the flow of blood and the waste
OF treasure" and that some message
should be sent to the Southerners $50 terse
that it surely will be circulated, and SO
lucid that it cannot be misconstrued or per-
verified" by way of an invitation to cease
lighting. Curiously enough, the nearer
the time came for final surrender the
more fervid was the demand for negotia-
ton and appeal from the unreasonable
radicals in the ranks of Northern Union
lists. But all this was soon to end, and
while small party was asking, "Why not
negotiate?" the downfall came.-Noah
Brooks in the Century for May.

A WOODEN LIBRARY.
Curios of the Historical Museum Of
HesSe-CaSseI.

Curios of the Historical Museum of
Hesse-Cassel.
Among the various collections of curios
the Historical Museum of Hesse-Cassel,
Germany, contains undoubtedly the most
unique in the form of a wooden library"
composed of $40 volumes of folio and
quarto sizes. The books are made of the
different specimens of trees found in the
famous park of Wilhelmshoehe. On the
back of each Of these singular books is
pasted large shield of red morocco, which
bears the popular and scientific names Of
the tree and the family to which it belongs,
Each label is inlaid with some of the bark
of the tree, the moss and lichen, and q
drop or two of the resin, if the tree pro-
duces it. The upper edge of the book
shows the tree in its youth, cut from a
horizontal section, with the sap in the GEN.
ter, and the concentric circles. The same
method prevails with the lower edge, show
ing the changes that have taken place, says
the Chicago News.
The two covers, as well as the side edge
of the book, are of green and polished
wood, and contain the following rotations ::
DENSITY of wood in spring, summer and
beginning of winter, rise and fall of tenn
perature, the properties of the tree and
the soil in which it grows.' The interior
of the book, in the shape of box, con-
tains in manuscript the history OF the
tree, with numerous hints as to its treat
ment, ETC., capsules filled with seeds, buds,
roots, leaves, etc. The inner sides show
the diverse transformations which take
place from bloom to fruit.
The author of this singular and ingeni-
Gus library is Carl Schiedbot, of whose
identity, however, very little is known.
All that can be definitely stated is that in
1771-S6 he was the director of the Cassel
Menagerie. Afterward he became bailiff
of Weissenstein, the Wilhelmshoehe of
to-day. 1t was at that time that he began
work upon the original collection. which
he presented to William TX of Hesse in
1893.
