CARLYLE.

The Rev. Mr.. Blunt, the venerable
rector of Chelsea, who has just retired
after a service of forty-ive years, said
the other day, Carlyle had the key Of
my garden, and he used it." He also
visited the old rectory, which stands in
Church street, where he would sit
after dinner, pipe in mouth, and his re-
Elections would flow in a brilliant and
incessant stream. But when he began
to abuse anybody or anything it vas
no use trying to stop him. In particu-
lar he hated HsXley's writings and de-
tested all science. 1 remember Huxley,
whose character grew sweeter and
sweeter as years drew on, telling me
that it was no use c~ontradicting him.
He was so great and so old. In fact,
Carlyle was a peasant to the end. Car
lyle did not often go to church, but
somebody once tool him to see West
minister abbey. He was impressed with
the building, but not with the service,
'and as for being buried in it, he growl-
ed, I should want a jail delivery first
before I'd lay my bones there"

BRIDE SPIRITED AWAY.
Daughter of Sydney Dillon Enticed
From Husband by Her Mother.

Omaha, Neb., Dec. 21-Alfred An
derson, a young farmer Of this county,
is vainly seeking for his bride, who
was spirited away from him after
welded life of "a hours duration. His
wife was Nellie Dillon, a niece of
Sydney Dillon, first president of the
Union Pacific railroad. The girls
parents were very much opposed to
the union, not from opposition to the
young man, but in their estimation. ;hL
Dillon family were. socially above the
Andersons.
The marriage was an elopement, and
after the ceremony the young people
spent the night at a hotel The next
day Mrs. Dillon sent for the girl, say
ing she was very i'll. Anderson took
his wife to the Dillon residence. The
young woman went into the house,
but when Anderson attempted to fol-
low the men of the family refused him
entrance and demanded that he leave
the premises. Returning the next
day with officers Anderson found Mrs.
Dillon and his wife had disappeared.
He has been unable to find any clue
to her whereabouts

MAJORITY OF NAVAL COURT AN
SWERS HIS BILL.
REJECTED HIS TESTIMONY
And Claims Justification for Act in
Number of Witnesses Opposed to
Hero of Santiago-Suggestio to
Refer Evidence to Three Competent
Attorneys.

Washington, Dec 21-Judge AdvO-
terday afternoon submitted to Secre-
tary Long their report upon the bill Of
objections filed by Admiral Schley,
through his counsel, to the findings of
the Schley court Of inquiry. In sub
stance this report is an argument sup
Elementary to an argument made by
the writer's before the court of inquiry.
The principal points are an insistance
upon their contention that the report
is the unanimous report of the court
Of inquiry; that the court was JUST
fed in rejecting Schley's evidence by
the number of witnesses who took
issue with him and that there is no
sufficient reason for the re-opening of
the case as requested by Schley.
The report, as appears from its text,
is solely that Of Judge Advocate Gen
eral Lemly and Solicitor Hanna and as
such it was laid before Secretary
Long. Secretary Long said in the at
ternoon that he would not act upon
the report yesterday. Early in the
day Schley became aware Of the fact
that a protest on behalf of Sampson
had reached Secretary Long and he
made a request to be furnished with an
official copy of the protest, but was in
formed that as the protests Of both
admirals at that time were being con-
sidered by the judge advocate general,
the secretary could take no immediate
action on the request. Secretary Long
went to the white house some time be
fore the cabinet meeting and it is I'M
derstood took with him the two docu
ments.
In case Secretary Long should APP
prove of the recommendation Of Cap
tain Lemly and Mr.. Hanna. it is stated
unon reliable authority the suggestion
will be made to th3 president Jy
Schley's counsel that he appoint a
board Of three eminent lawyers, one
to be selected by himself and one
each to be selected by Schley and
Sampson, this board to weigh the eEi-
dence and report to the president. t
is said there are a number of prece-
dnts for it to decide on.

lowing the completion, it is estimated
that the annual tonnage will equal
1880, 600. That would be about
million tons more than the preser
traffic of the Suez canal The Mica,
aqua route would be more advantage
Gus TO the commerce of the United
States and Europe. In the case of the
commerce with western South Ameri-
ca, however, the Panama route would
be shorter. For the south Pacific the
two routes would be alike; but for all
routes between the north Pacific and
the north Atlantic the Nicaragua
canal is shorter. A vessel passing
from New York to San Francisco
would make the trip one day quicker
by using the Nicaraguan canal and If
the vessel were making the run be-
tween San Francisco and New Orleans
this route would be two days shorter"
