Port Louis, Mauritius.

From the sea Port Louis has q pictur.
esque and oriental aspect, but the streets
are less SO than one imagines. They are
wide and resemble those of Cape Town.
Numerous European shops also line their
fronts.
Lying behind the town is the Champ
de Mars. 1t is used as a place of amuse-
ment, and opening into it are the streets
of Burbon and Corderie, while to the
left of the quays is the bazaar or market
place. 1t is surrounded by an iron rail
ing, has several gates leading to the
principal streets and is divided into
two equal parts by Farquar street.
A broad avenue also traverses its en-
tire length, lined ON either side by COW
cred sheds, where the wares are exposed.
Fruit stalls occupy the upper end, and
here is exhibited a marvellous variety,
a collection that would make the fruit
sellers of the west mad with envy
Plantains in great yellow heaps are side
by side with custard apples, alligator
pears, mangoes, pineapples and others
too numerous to mention. Mangoes are
the most esteemed by Europeans. The
lower market contains the butchers
shops, where fowl, fish and kid are
conspicuous. ALI the Year Round.

ROBERT T. LINCOLN.

His Chances OF Receiving tho Republican
Nomination Discussed.
NEW YORK. June 1l.-Hon. Thomas
l.. James, e~x-postmaster general, said,
discussing the political situation:
II look upon Robert Lincoln as the
likeliest dark horse in the race for the
Republican nomination. He is espe-
cially strong in the South, but that
statement does not by any means sum
up all his possibilities before q conven-
ton. Illinois Republicans would unite
on him; Georgia, Arizona, Kentucky
and Tennessee will be with him, but in
all the Southern states there live warm
and influential friends of the Illinois
man-in the Carolinas, in Virginia, in
Arkansas and Mississippi. I believe he
will get half of the entire Southern
delegation, and when the break comes
ON the favorites, Lincoln and Allison
will get the benefit of it,"

$1,000 A SHOT.

1t Is Economical. After All, If Considered
Properly.
One thousand dollars a shot is rather
expensive shooting, but when you come
to figure it out you will find that it is
not quite as much in proportion as 800
q shot under certain conditions. The old
smooth bore cannon, short in barrel and
short in the breach, had to be trained
with the greatest patience and care on
the object aimed at, and if the 100
pound ball didn't land exactly where it
was intended it did very little harm.
With the big pneumatic gun at Sandy
Hook it is impossible to make a miss.
You just touch her of at 81, 600 per
touch, and if the projectile drops within
one-sixth Of a mile of where it was in
tended to drop there is immediate and
serious trouble and in all probability no
necessity for the expenditure Of another
dollar on that particular target. 1t costs
more to fire the big Krupp gun than it
does our dynamite gun, but the execu-
ton bears no comparison. One hundred
gatling guns, fred at short intervals for
n hour, would cost $40, OOO. Even if
the object shot at was within range the
shooting would not be one-tenth as eff
fective as the shooting of the Sandy
Hook terror.-New York Mail and Ex-

The Mantle OF Charity.

1t is the n garment the fashion of
which never changes, writes Ruth Ash
more in Ladies' Home Journal. The
years may go and come, and yet she who
cloaks herself in this mantle is 1t once
happy herself and the giver Of happi-
ness. In cut it never changes. 1t is al
ways large and full, SO that it can en-
velop those who are unhappy and give
them warmth and comfort. Like the
cloak worn by the prince in the fairy
tale, it IS invisible to all but those whose
eyes are made clear by faith. 1t is the
garment that l would like my girls to
yea 1t is true that much patience and
much self denial are required before
this cloak is put on, as it should be, for
all time, but once assumed the amount
Of joy to be got from it and the happy
heartbeats to the wearers of it cannot
possibly be overestimated.

Girl Babies Of Sicily.

In some parts Of Sicily the birth of a

tune that . black flag is hung out the
window to proclaim the sad event. Hav-

long as they are unmarried; and being
obliged to dover the bridegroom, they
are looked upon as expensive luxuries.

Aberdeen News, s.: In court at Ips-
wich Friday Judge Gaffy summary
and senslbly disposed af fine question
Of fact. An Injunction WAS sought
against a blind bigger at Ipswich named
Prosser. A quantity of bottled beer had
been found in Prosser's building and
placed in custody OF the court, but the
usual point was raised that it wasn't
beer, only hop tea or something of that
sort. Several witnesses were examined
bat none of them would swear whether
they knew beer from tea or tea from
bilgewater. The judge finally wearied
OF clubbing and called for a corkscrew,
declaring that he knew beer when he
tasted 1t, even il some of the witnesses
didn't. He seemed to feel rather indlg-
nant IN fact, that attorneys should think
1t necessary to summon a cloud of wit
nesses to prove whether or not a bottle
contained beer, when the bottle was
there before hun. Several attorneys
denied having cOrkscrews IN their Dos
sessloL, but one was procured after
awhile and his honor proceeded to pull
a cork. A quantity Of the liquid was
poured into a glass and then conveyed to
the judicial lips. One swallow was
enough. The court pronounced it beer,
intoxicating, and granted the Injunction.
The attorney for the defense was carried
out on q shutter.

Chosen Helpmates. So 81
In the earliest times Of purchase q
woma was bartered for useful goods or
for services rendered to her father. In
the latter way Jacob purchased Rachel
and her sister Leah. This was q Beena
marriage, where a man, as in Genesis,
leaves his father and his mother and
cleaves unto his wife, and they become
one flesh or kin-the woman's. The
price of a bride in British Columbia and
Vancouver island varies from Gao to
e4O worth of articles. In Oregon an In
dian gives for a wife horses, blankets
or buffalo robes; in California, shell
money or horses; in Africa, cattle.
A poor Damara will sell a daughter
for one COW. A richer Kaffir expects
from 8 to 80. With the Banyai, if moth
ing be given, her family claim her chill
dren. In Uganda, where no marriage
recently existed, she may be obtained
for half a dozen needles, or a coat, or a
pair Of shoes. An ordinary price is a
box of percussion caps. In other parts
a goat or couple Of buckskins will buy
a girl. Passing to Asia, we find her
price is sometimes 5 to 90 rubles, or at
others a CARLOAD of wood or hay. A
princess may be purchased for 8, 200
rubles.
In Tartary a woman can be obtained
for a few pounds of butter, or where a
rich man gives 20 small oxen a poor
man may succeed with a pig. In Fiji her
equivalent is a whales tooth or a mus
ket. These and similar prices elsewhere
are eloquent testimony to the little value

when the war began. In March, 1861, he
was a lieutenant in command Of Fort
Quitman, Texas, and received orders from
General Twiggs, the department COM
mander, to abandon the post and join
Captain Reeve Of the Eighth infantry in
O march to San Antonio. The Texas
commissioners had agreed with General
Twiggs that the Federal troops should
leave the state, but when Captain Reeves
little command neared San Antonio aft
er a hard march of 600 miles it found
General Earl Van Dorm and a Confed-
crate army Of 1900 men opposing its
further progress north.
To the disgust Of the war department
Captain Reeve surrendered, and although
Lieutenant Bliss was powerless to pre-
vent his superior officers act the dis
grace followed him throughout the war.
Bliss was imprisoned until April 5,
1862. when he was exchanged. The next
month he was appointed colonel Of the
Tenth Rhode Island volunteers, and for
several months commanded the northern
defenses Of Washington. He was then
| appointed colonel Of the Seventh Rhode
Island and served with great valor
throughout the remainder Of the war.
On three different occasions-once by
General Grant-he was recommended
for promotion as ~brigadier general for
gallantry, but the deserved promotion
was withheld because the war depart
ment had decided that no officer who
surrendered with Captain Reeve should
be promoted, no matter what he did or
how strongly he was recommended. he
commanded a brigade at the Wilderness,
and was breveted for gallant and meri-
torious conduct. he has served in the
regular army since the war and was ap.
