HAMPTON VISITS M'LAURIN.

The General Went to Thank Him for
the Stand He Took in His Behalf.
A Washington dispatch of the 10th,
says: Here is the story of visit of
interest equally to the friends of q
famous Georgia Confederate general
and those of famous South Carolina
Confederate general
This morning General Wade Hamp-
ton went to the capitol and called on
Senator McLaurin. General Hampton
and the new Senator had not spoken
in some years, hut the GEN;
eral called to thank McLanrin for his
visit with other South Carolinians to,
the White House in his behalf.
The two lunched together in the Sem
ate restaurant and the old ex-senator,
who was so popular as q member Of that
body, was given right royal welcome
by his former associates.
Then he and Senator McLaurin called
on Secretary Bliss and the Secretary
confirmed the plan suggested by the
President the other day which was that
General Hampton need fear no alarm
about his hold on the commissionership
of railroads, certainly not until he re-
turns from the trip he is preparing.
The Georgia end of the story is that
General Longstreet will remain at
Gainesville, in the meantime the salary
of the Office going to his old comrade In
arms. Georgia Republicans here are
not at all pleased at the turn the case
has taken.

King George I of Greece owes his
royal Office not only to the favor of his
subjects, but also to the grace of three
Of the leading powers of Europe, and
any change in sovereignty which the
people might desire to make would
have to be approved by these powers,
Eiz: France, Russia and England.
When the independence of Greece was
declared, says the Philadelphia In
quirer, the powers selected Prince
Leopold, now king of Belgium, as the
ruler of the new state. He accepted
the Office at first, but subsequently de-
clined. In 1881 Otho, son of the king
of Bavaria, was placed on the throne.
He ruled until 1862, and in that year
q revolution broke out in Athens, and
he was deposed. A provisional COM
mittee then ordered the election of
another king by universal suffrage,
and Prince Alfred of England, who is
now duke of Sa1e-Coburg Gotha, was
elected. An agreement had, however,
been made by France, England and
Russia that no prince of either of
these countries should be placed on
the throne, and his name was there
fore withdrawn. On the 30th of March,
1868, the national assembly of Greece
elected Prince Christian of Denmark
king. The election was confirmed by
the powers on the 18th of July, and
he ascended the throne and was
crowned as King George.

seventeen feet below the level of the

low the sea level, 4-inch stratum OF
