Captain Sigsbee has lately been
taken to task by a Revere, Mass. g,
pastor for attending a bull fight at
Havana on Sunday. He is told that
the destruction of his ship may have
been a visitation of Providence as a
consequence. Captain Sigsbee says
in letter to q Revere man on the
subject that it is difficult to under
stand why so many men we're blown
up who did not go to the fight, while
every one of those who did GO, the
Maine's officers, were saved. The
pastor is further informed that the
bull fight was attended rather to test
the feelings Of the populace toward
himself and the ship than to seek
amusement.

A Washington man who prides him
self upon his family connections is just
recovering from an attack OF nervous
prostration, says the Star. This mar
>ateiy became possessed of the idea of
constructing family tree, feeling as
sured he could produce growth that
would dwarf the giants of the Califor-
MA forests into insigniicance. He be-
gan ON one branch of his family, and
soon struck Miles Standish, from whom
he ran various shoots and offshoots.
with many feeling of pride. With re-
newed interest he went to work on an
other branch Of his growing tree, and
had gone back but four generations
when he was amazed to strike great
grandfather who had died from stran-
gulation brought on by a rope en-
circling his throat, his death occurring
in the presence of a large gathering Of
curious people, who had taken day of
during harvest time, in order to see the
hanging. BY this time the man Of fam
lily pride had become intensely disgust
ed with genealogical Investigations, but
all that his friends knew of his disap-
pointment was the fact that lie re-
manned away from the busy haunts of
his fellows for several weeks, and the
family physician gave out the informa-
ton that he was the victim Of a, severe
case OF nervous prostration. -
