One Member of the Postal Congress.

Among the most interesting of the
foreign delegates to the postal congress
at Washington is the Hon. John Gavan
Duffy, postmaster general of the Aus
tralian colony of Victoria and eldest
son of old Sir Charles Duffy, the asso-
ciate of Daniel O'Connell and founder
of the Young Ireland party.
Sir Charles repeatedly suffered impris-
onment for his services to the cause of
Ireland, especially for his revolutionary
utterances in his influential Dublin
newspaper, The Nation On one occa-
sion Sir Charles and the entire staff of
the paper were jailed by the viceroy,
Lord Clarendon, whereupon Lady Wilde,
mother of the ignoble Oscar, and Mrs.
Callan stepped into the breach, estab-
lished themselves in editorial control Of
the paper and continued to bring it out
day by day, until finally it was sup
pressed by the British authorities.

quietly default being entered against
the foreign defendant, who had failed TO
file defense in the time allowed by the
California code. While all the legal
formalities were complied with, no one
except those actually interested in the
delicate matter was present. Henry c.
McPike, who appeared for the plaintiff,
was armed with a number of dispositions
taken in England and America intended
to convince the court that Edward Lang
try had deserted his fair wife.
Was Married i'm 1876.
That Of the plaintiff was to the effect
that she married Mr.. Langtry on the
Island of Jersey in 1876 and that the
marriage certificate gave evidence that
the lady was 20 years Of age and Lang
try was "a. The defendant gave as his
place of birth Scotland, Will Mrs. Lang

witnesses of the ceremony were Mr. and

ter was born and named Jeanne At the
time Of the taking of the deposition in

Mrs. Langtry testified that her husband
had deserted her a number of years ago.
From this time to date, the lady testi-
fled, he has not furnished her nor her
child with any means of support, but,
TO emphasize his desertion. has declared
on number OF occasions that he would
not return to his wife Thus thrown
on her own resources, she had taken to
the stage for a livelihood and had been
pursuing that occupation for a number
Of years. In 1886 she came TO California,
and taking a fancy 10 the climate pro-
cured a house in San Francisco. upon
Twenty hrst street, taking the house for
a year, in order that she might have an
opportunity TO look around and select
a location for a permanent home.
Asked Custody of Her Daughter
She finally secured a large tract Of
land near Middletown. in the southeast
ern part Of Lake county, and took up
her residence there. She spent a por-
ton Of the money she made on the stage
for Improvements. From this legal and
financial showing the lady returns TO
her matrimonial experiences, saying in
one sentence:
Il have always treated Mr. Langtry
with affection, never giving him cause
TO disregard his duty toward me as
my husband"
In conclusion she asked that the GUS
tody Of the daughter. Jeanne. be award
ed to her. Sir George Lewis, Mr.. James
w. Smyth Pigot. Captain a. w. VIII

LIONS IN THE CELLAR.
A Farmer Finds Some Queer Tenants In
the Basement of His House.

| A Farmer Finds Some Queer Tenants In
the Basement of His House.
The cellar of house inhabited by
human beings is strange place for
wild beasts TO make their home, but
they did it back in the hills near Sunol,
Alameda county, Cal, where Antonio
Nunez, a farmer, lives with his family.
Antonio is thrifty and industrious
man and has prospered. Not long ago
he moved from his old home into an.
other house that had not yet been occu-
pied. For several days after the family
moved into their new home they heard
strange sounds coming apparently from
the cellar Nunez determined to make
an investigation.
Though courageous, Antonio is dis
Greet, and he called in few friends to
his assistance. Armed with shotguns,
they made their way Into the cellar.
They had hardly reached the side of the
stone walled place when from under
meath the stairway bounded splendid
specimen Of California lioness Be-
fore a shot could be fired the animal es-
capped through the open door. A second
later, and the lion, a big, ugly beast,
made jump for the stairway. This
time Antonio was ready and killed the
animal at the first fire.
While his friends stood guard at the
doorway Antonio made search under
meath the stairway and found four cubs.
They were very comfortable, having an
overcoat and quilt for bed. Elk

CORN FOR FAMINE VICTIMS.
Fifteen Thousand Tons Awaiting Ship
ment at Brooklyn.

New York May 15.-No arrangements
have yet been made for forwarding the
$4,000 tons of corn stored in Brooklyn
warehouses TO the plague-stricken dis
tricts Of India. Six weeks ago congress
authorized the secretary of the navy to
charter steamship of American reg
istry to convey the contributions of food
stuffs to India. There is no American
vessel available that will hold $4,000
tons. The only vessel that will hold so
large a cargo is the Hamburg Ameri-
can line steamship Pennsylvania. The
thing TO be done, apparently, as the
secretary of the navy is not empow-
cred TO engage more than one vessel, is
to see if the British authorities will not
provide a vessel to take the larger part
Of the corn. while an American vessel
takes the remainder.
