The Alabama friends of Hon. and Mrs. Oscar Hundfey will be glad to read this brief letter from Mrs. Hundley written to Birmingham friends, which tells some what of their delightful plans of travel:
 Off the Coast of Norway, July "A, 1S97,-.,
 It would do you both good to view this lovely scenery. We are now in the Fjords of Norway on our way to Trondhjem, which is as far north as we expect to go, and is about 500 miles from the pole It is so lovely and at the same time so very odd to see on one side of us snow-capped mountains and on the other green hills. The Fjords in some placfs are only about a mile wide. I am writing to you in the day light and it is 11s0 p. m. It seems so gueer. Tomorrow night I shall be where we have no night really, until after the 27th. I believe. We are enjoying every moment of the time, and are really having a lorg trip. for after we tour Norway, Sweden. Denmark, Russia, Germany and Holland, we shall go 60 Paris, then to Rome, Nap.es and Venice. While in the vicinity of Nables, of course, we will see the ill-fated cities and the volcano, also the Island of Capri. Mr. Hundley joins me in regards to you both, and we wish to express to you again our great appreciation of your very lovely re membrance at the time of our weid ng. This afternoon we passed the battleship Hohenzollern, with the German Emp-ror and his family on board. It was beAuti- ful. all done in white and gold. Sincerely yours. oi'

 MT. James R. Randall in writing from Washington City to the Catholic Colum- bian, pays the following tribute to the genius of Col. Richard Malcolm John ston: -,ti
 Tt must have gratified Col. Richard Malcolm Johnston when the Georg.a uni versity conferred upon him an IL. D. de- gree recently. It was a tardy tribute, but better late than never. Forty years ago he was professor of Belles Lettres in that university At that time he was a prominent Baptist Possibly his b;com- ing Catholic may have initiated against an earlier recognition of his eminent osi- tfon in literature. He has log resided in Baltimore, but his heart is in eGorgla. But for the preference his family had for Maryland, he would have gone back to his native state, which he loves beyond expression. He is, in fashion, an exile
 No man ever loved his state more fer vently and few have conferred mere horror on her. I suspect that he values the Georgia degree far more than if 1t had come from Oxford or Harvard. I am also inclined to think that it marks the progress of greater and more en- frightened religious tolerance. It comes, too, at period when Thomas E. Watson Is attempting to create sectarlan pre-

I judlce. Some persons who get these de- grees are not entitled to them; but no
 iridividual is more worthy of such dis tinction than Col Johnston, who Is gen. uine scholar and noble type of Christian gentleman.
 Besides his many very charming stories of southern life, Col. Johnston has writ
 ten a large number of brilliant essays covering a very wide field in literature. Miss Bessie Hart De Belle, talented young woman of Atlanta has just com pleted her first course in law, al i.he Iowa State university and will receive her di pfoma after ano her term at the law | school. She intends to practice law, but | mot in Georgia, as it is against ehe stat- utes Of that state for woman to be ad- init ed to the counts. Miss De Belle is the second Georgia woman so enter the legal profession. She is described as a. tractive and womanly, with nothing advanced" or masculine about her. She is handsome, 1 of the brunette type, and vivactous, charming ccnvelsationalist. Miss De
 Belle will probably become a resident of
 Chicago a1ser comple ing her legal stud ,fes, and will devote herself to office work
 chiefly.
