a CURIOUS HoAr In Port


The schooner Studio, which arrived
In this city on Thanksgiving Day and
is now tied up at the lower yard OF the
Pussy & Jones Co., has been visited by
many curiosity seekers. The boat is in
charge Of Capt. Druke Miller, who,
with his wife, at present constitute
the crow.
Capt. Miller and his wife, both OF
whom hail from Lyons, N. Y, were
residents of the southern part of
Florida during the past two years, and
in that time they made up quite col
lection of curios in the shape OF fancy
shells, canes, flowers and fans made
from fish scales and bird feathers.
Capt. Miller reports having had several
definitions, but hopes to have no fur
ther trouble. At New Berne. N. O.,
his pilot, George Venters, deserted,
and was arrested, his trial delaying the
trip week. Vsnters was found guilty,
but Capt. Miller interceded for him
and he was allowed to go. At Char les
town, S. c., the schooner was chased
by revenue cutter, on the supposition
that she was engaged in filibustering
expedition, the only ground for the act
being that the owner had thougbtlessly
displayed Cuban flag in the harbor
at that place.
Later, at the instigution of Venters,
the craft was boarded by revenue off,
GERS, who said they were informed that
the boat was a floating distillery. No
trouble was experienced 10 convincing
the officers that this was untrue and
the ship was allowed to proceed.

AMBAssA nor BAYARD.
His Departure From England n Severe Loss
TO That Country.

His Departure From England n Severe Loss
TO That Country.
New York Commercial Advertiser.
Ambassador Thomas F. Bayard con-
tinues to be quito the lion of tho hour
among English noblemen. 1t is said Of
him that he and Mrs. Bayard have
moro invitations OF purely social
nature than they can possibly answer
personally. The Ambassador and Mrs.
Bayard recently visited Lord Belper at
Kingston, near, Derby, where Mr..
Bayard did some fine shooting.
Apropos of the Presidential election
and possible diplomatic changes. a
London editor was inspired to make
the following remarks about MIR.
Bayard:
"Many Americans doplore the feature
in the Constitution of their country
which necesstates a change in all
government appointments when the
term of Presidential Offices finishes.
This time all Englishmen who have
over come into contact with Mr.. Bayard
arc lamenting the Same hard terms Of
public life in the United States, for
tine departure Of Mr.. Bayard from Eng
land will be very severe loss to this
country. Not any one of the most
eminent Englishmen, well liked by the
people, could be more missed than the
American Ambassador will be. A man
made to make friends. ana to all of the
thousands who proudly claim the
acquaintance. he has always been the
personification of frankness, allied with
amiability and urbanity. Fortunately,
Mr.. Bayard represents q type of Ameri-
can gentlemen foreshadowed by
Dickens MIR. Bevan, and there are
many of his com patriots holding the
same broad opinions, who entertain the
same brotherly affection toward English
people, and who would stand marked
in any civilized land as well-bred and
cultivated men of the world. One Of
these well-known and much esteemed
in English society is Chauncey Depew,
and it is believed and hoped that he
will succeed Mr.. Bayard ii the latter
has to leave U.s. -

Biermann and John Hinckle, who

sounded, Immediately rushed upstairs
and aroused the family OF Biermann,
who made their escape in safety. Tag
CART then made his way to the third
floor and found the family of Hinckle
asleep. When awakened they were
considerably confused by the smoke
that filled their apartments, and Tag
CART had his hands full in directing
them safely out, two of the members
of the family being compelled to leave
in their night clothes. The depart
ment responded to the alarm. which
was turned in from box %, and ex
tinguished the flames in about 20
