the com mercial centre OF the French
island Of Martinique. 1t was the 1arg-
est town IN the French West Indies
and was well built and prosperous. 1t
had a population of about % 400.
It was diyided intc two parts,
known as the upper aud lower towns
The lower town Was compact, with
narrow streets and unhealthy. The
upper town was cleaner, healthier and
handsomely laid out.
There was in the upper town fine
botanical garden and an old Catholic
college, as we'll as a fine hospital.
Mont Pelee, the largest OF the group
Of volcanic mountains. is about 4,40O

as a volcano, although IN August, 1851,
1t had violent eruption. It is in the
northwestern end of the island and
near the foot OF its western slope, front

NJ. Curry, the special repre-
sentative Of the United S.ates at
the coronation Of King Alfonso, Which
is to take place Saturday, arrived here
at 3 o'clock to Gay and was received at
the railroad station by the secretary
of the United States legation, S. S
Sickles, and Mrs S,ckles, and by Mar
quis VallaIobar, representing the gov
eminent. The American envoy was
driven in a royal landau to the resi-
dence which he will occupy during
his stay in this city. DR.. Curry was
greatly pleased with the quarters pro-
vided fer him. He reached the house
in time to wituess from the windows
the first ceremony connected with the
present festivities, which was attended
by the King, tie Queen Rsgent and
the court, namely, the laying of the
foundation stone Of a free school. The
reighboring houses we're gaiIY decorat-
ed with flags and soldiers aad Civic
Guards were drawn up around the site.
The American envoy has been placed
on the same footing as foreign princes
OF the blood, and is treated with great
er honor than the extraordinary en-
yoys, with the exception Of the envoy
Of France. DR.. Curry has house to
himself. servants, French cook and
a royal carriage with coachman and
footmen IN the palace livery, whereas
the other ENJOYS are lodged IN hotels.
The mansion set apart for the use of
DR.. Curry belonged to an English lady,
the Marquise de LeuyilIe, who died be-
fore it was completed. The workmen
hurriedly finished the picturesque resi-
dence. It is OF mediaeval appearance
aud is situated on high ground within
stones throw OF the palace, cCm-
manding a magnificent panorama OF
miles OF scenery reaching to the foot OF
the Sierra Guardarrana. The house
is richly furnished with ancient tapes
tries and other rare works OF Spanish
art.
The government reserved most ap-
pro ocriase pleasure for DR.. Curry, in
the selection Of his old friend, the
Marquis OF Vallalohar, to attend him
while in Madrid. The Marquis was
formerly a secretary of the Spanish le-
CATION st Washington. DR.. Curry was

"Any large educational movement, OF
the application Of any general educa-
tional policy In the South, must be
worked out In a large measure by
Southern men. One ct the saddest
results of the war was the separation OF
the two sections in sympathy and in
