"Let me come in, the door unlock." "The midnight now; my lonely gate I open to no stranger's knock." "Who art thou! Speak!" "Men call me Fame; Te immortality I lead." "Pass, idle phantom of a name." "Listen again, and now take heed." "Twain false. My names are Song, Love, Art; My Past, now unbear the door." "Art's dead, Song cannot touch my heart; My once Love's name I chant no more." "Open then now for see, I stand, Hiches my name, with endless gold, Gold, and your wish in hand." "Too late—my youth you still withhold." "Then if it must be, since the door Stands shut, my last true name do know. Men call Me Death. Delay no more." Jalapa and Its Beautiful Girls. VERA CRUZ, Mexico; July 10.—Away up in the mountains, within sight of the snow-topped volcano, Grizzaba, surrounded by the richest of lands, lies one of the wealthiest and most beautiful cities of Mexico. This is the old town of Jalapa. There is no place in Switzerland more beautiful located, and you will find no town on the Continental more picturesque. It lies right in the mountains. The clouds nestle among the hills about it, and every street climbs up and down, giving a series of beautiful views and vistas. The houses are all of one or two stories. They are made of stucco, and look as though they had been finished but a year or so ago. They have long, low, overhanging roofs of red tile, and these roots just out about a yard and a half over the street, and the rafters inside of the roofs are painted a delicate light blue. Below this blue comes the brown drab or yellow of the wall of the house, which goes down to a dado of dark red which borders the street. The house have great windows covered with iron bars and out of these look the beautiful girl for which Jalapa is famous. They have blue eyes, dark hair and eyebrows and their complexions are of the richest of cream. No a few of them have roxy cheeks, and caught many a beautiful picture with my camera as I passed through the streets. The ground floors of the houses are level with the sidewalk, and you can look through these windows right into the houses and see the red-tiled floors, the walls frescoed in grays colors, and the garden of tropical plants which forms the courtyard about which the house is built. The people did not seem to resent inspection, and the fair senator laughed when I pointed the camera at them and I found them kinder and better looking than the people of any other part of the Mexican Republic. The Mexicans them selves have a proverb concerning them. The proverb is "Las jalapenas son halquinas, or 'Bewitching' and alluring are the womes of Jalapa." The town is in the center of the richest of the coffee regions of Mexico. It has about 14,000 people, and it is the most old-fashioned THE Evergreen Nurseries.

Madame Modjeska arrived in New York last week with Count Bozenta, her husband, after a year's professional tour in Europe. The actress, as is well known, is a Pole, and she chatted laughingly in her parlor at the hotel about the unexpected experience that she had with Russian Government officials, which she says illustrates the Russians' still existing prejudice against the Poles. She was booked ahead to appear at the Polish Theatre in St. Petersburg last February, but when she and her company arrived the theatre had been closed by the management. She could get no explanation, but it soon became evident that the manager had been frightened by the action of the authorities in Warsaw, which she had visited a few weeks before. A photographer had placed a large portrait of her in his window to boom the sale of her photographs. It was labeled "Our favorite." Government officials ordered it down, declaring the inscription to be sedicious. The photographer changed the legend to "Our star," and the officials again interfered and absolutely prohibited a further display of the portrait. The officials also went to the extreme of confiscating all copies of a dance which a composer had dedicated to the actress. Madame Modjeska was compelled to abandon her tour in Russian cities altogether and go to Prague. Not Drewmed, But Eloped. On June 13th last Kitty Winninger, wife of J. W. Winninger of Woodland, left a pretty little note at Santa Cruz informing her husband that she had drowned herself in the ocean blue. Her hat and skwl, found on the cliffs over the sea, were strong evidence that she slept in the briny deep. Her husband mourned for some weeks. Suddenly he put off all evidences of mourning and the story floated around that pretty Kitty Winninger had been resurrected from the dead of Santa Cruz waters. Last week he filed papers in a divorce suit and the whole story has cropped out. Mrs. Winninger fled from Santa Cruz with a young man, whose name she refuses to divulge, and went to San Francisco, where she has resided ever since. Recently she attempted a reconciliation and asked her husband to open his purse and his arms. She was willing to return to her first love and her four-year-old child. The unsusceptible husband was nigh agreeing to the proposition, but Kitty was inexorable in her demands for diamond earrings and other trifles, and Winninger decided that, as she had drowned herself, he would let her go and seek a divorce.

His ex-majesty lives in the neighborhood of the Boia de Boulogne. Recently he purchased a home there after living several months in furnished apartments in the Avenue d'Antin. It would therefore seem that he does not expect to be recalled to Servia by his former subjects. As a result this king loves the provisional and is often posed to binding contracts. His househous consists of a chamberlain and an adjutant. They often leave him alone, however, as Milan prefers to leave the memories of his former station in the vestibules of most of the houses which he visits. But he bears the golden exile from his country easily. He pretends to have not ingested to do with politics more than he should do. He does not like to speak about Queen Natalia.

The board says it has not only been informed by the best legal talent of their own county that their action is illegal, but they have also been informed by the Attorney-General of the State that the law under which they proposed to act has been repealed, yet in the face of this they pass the ordinance, which cannot help but mislead their fellow-men and cause them to be punished if any are so foolhardy as to proceed under this ruling. The Riverside Gun Club has already taken steps for the arrest and punishment of every person caught shooting quail prior to the first day of October. Harker's Harness Shop. W. R.

So if you purchase a new flag this year be sure to store-keeper does not unload upon you very much out of date, which only represents a part of this good and rapidly growing Republic. Demand the latest and ask that you get it. Every star in the new flag represents phase of progress in the nation's history. On June 14, 1777—114 years ago—the American Congress passed a resolution that "the flag of the thirteen United States is thirteen stripes, alternate red and white that the Union be thirteen stars, white in blue field, representing a new constellation. In 1795 two stripes were added to common orate the entry of Vermont and Kentucky as States into the Union, and two new states were also placed with those in the Union. The stars were then arranged in three parallel rows. No further change was made until 1818 although in the mean time Tennessee (1799 Ohio) (1802), Louisiana (1812), Indiana (1818) and Mississippi (1817) had been admitted On April 4, 1818, a bill was signed by President Monroe reducing the number of strips to thirteen and adopting new stars for the States admitted since 1785. The number of stars has been increased follows on the Fourth of July of the following years: In 1819, one star for Illinois; 1820, two stars; one for Alabama and one for Maine; 1822, one star for Missouri; 1836, one star for Arkansas; 1837, one star for Florida; 1846, one star August 6, 1891.

Cushing's Exploit. In view of the recent use of the torpedo down in Chile, the July Cosmopolitan brings up the Albemarle episode: Torpedo warfare was in its infancy when William Barker Cushing blew up the Albemarle. Farragut once said to General James Grant Wilson that he deemed the destruction of the Albemarle the most dauntless naval deed ever performed by any young officer of the American navy. This powerful vessel had successfully encountered a strong fleet of Federal gunboats and fought them for several hours without sustaining material damage. There was nothing in the Northern squadron able to cope with it. Cushing volunteered to destroy the Albemarle, and with a steam launch and a small crew he ascended the Roanoke river, towing an armed cutter. This was on the night of October 27, 1864. The river was lined with pickets to guard against just such attacks as this, but the Lieutenant's luck did not desert him, and he was within 100 yards of the ironclad ram before he was discovered. Casting off the cutter, he ordered her crew to attack a picket post near by, while with a full head of steam, he drove the launch straight at the huge vessel, whose crew rushed to quarters and at once opened fire. Cushing replying effectively with his howitzer. A circle of heavy logs boomed well out from her sides with the very purpose of preventing the action of torpedoes, was discovered by the young hero, but the boat was driven over them, as they had become siliny, and by the time the launch had received her death wound from the enemy's guns Cushing had coolly swung the torpedo boom under the Albemarle's overhang or bottom and exploded the charge. in the middle of his discourse, some people on the outside turned out the lights and rotten-egged Rev. Sam Jones and his audience, most of whom were ladies. There is great indignation and trouble may ensue. Down the Danube. No pen can describe the peculiar charm of Buda-Pesth, which, unfortunately, is so seldom visited by Americans. The city itself is like another Vienna in location and architecture; and for over two and a half miles on the Pesth side the quay is lined with hotels, public buildings, stores and fine residences. From this beautiful city we took cars for Belgrade, the capital of Servia, 400 miles from Vienna. We did not desire to stop in Belgrade—one glance was enough. All we wanted was to get out of it and aboard the Danube boat, which we understood was soon due. We arrived at the pier of Belgrade about midnight, and soon after the down-river boat touched for passengers. Going on board, we found it packed with sleeping passengers of apparently every nationality excepting our own—with no state rooms, and with a cabin so crowded and stuffy that we declined to even step into it. We consequently found ourselves sleeping or trying to sleep, on lounges in the dining-salon. It was no steam "Providence," please note. It was more like a coating steamer for freight purposes, and its chief freight was human sardines. Such was our introduction into the confines of the Turkish Empire. At 4:30 in the morning, after a few catnips, we stopped at some town or other, when there was more confusion and a further addition to our already overcrowded passenger list. Then we gave up hope of further rest and went on deck. The scenery throughout the following day was highly picturesque and interesting, but our enjoyment of it was interfered with by a drenching rain. However, we had a good view of the Gorge of Kassan, which we viewed by far the most impressive piece of river scenery we had ever gazed upon.

Casting off the outter, he ordered her crew to attack a picket post near by, while, with a full head of steam, he drove the launch straight at the huge vessel, whose crew rushed to quarters and at once opened fire. Cushing replying effectively with his howitzer. A circle of heavy logs boomed well out from her sides with the very purpose of preventing the action of torpedoes, was discovered by the young hero, but the boat was driven over them, as they had become slimy, and by the time the launch had received her death wound from the enemy's guns. Cushing had coolly swung the torpedo boom under the Albemarle's overhang or bottom and exploded the charge. Ordering his crew to look out for themselves, he sprang into the river, swam under water as far as possible, and in the darkness escaped alone, reaching the opposite bank half a mile below. As soon as he recovered his strength he plunged into the dense swamp, and after many hours of weary wandering and wading, came up out of the shore of a creek, where, with his usual good luck, he found a small picket boat, and at 11 o'clock the following night, almost dead from cold, hunger and fatigue. Cushing was carried on board the Valley City, United States gunboat. As soon as it was known that he had returned, after destroying the Albemarle, rockets were rejoicingly thrown up by every vessel of the fleet. Of the gallant fellows who volunteered to risk their lives with the fearless Cushing but one escaped, all the others being either drowned, killed or captured. To his brother officers he remarked, as he was setting out to destroy the ironclad: "Another stripe or a coffin!" Five times he was officially complimented by the Secretary of the Navy, and for the affair of the Albemarle he received the thanks of Congress. The Coyote Bounty Fraud. The constitutionality of the coyote bounty law is questioned. The State Board of Examiners at a meeting held at Sacramento a few days ago had under consideration the advisability of paying no more money on coyote scalps. The Governor was absent and a final determination was not reached, but it is very probable that the board will hold that the law is unconstitutional on the grounds pointed out by the Attorney-General. That official had heretofore given an opinion that the law was constitutional, but upon the general provision that a Legislature can appropriate money in payment of such claims. The title of the bill is defective, and on that point as well as others being called to his attention, he was of opinion that the Supreme Court should pass on that case. It is a general desire on the part of State officials that the decision in Humbert vs. Dunn should be reviewed. This case would afford an opportunity, as there is no special appropriation for the payment of the bounty. The Secretary of State requested the Attorney-General to write out his suggestions and he would take them under advisement, although the Secretary is firmly of the opinion, and has been from the beginning, that the law is unconstitutional. Governor Markham is expected to return in time for the next regular meeting, when the question will be fully and conclusively decided. It is safe to predict, however, that the board will refuse to pass claims, and in all probability hunters and their breakers will not be paid anything. Under the circumstances it is not advisable for parties to proceed in hunting or breeding coyotes. Three days we traveled thus. They were by no means days to be regretted, though the physical discomforts attending them, and especially the inability to sleep comfortably, were such that I would not care to repeat the experience. For three days we never changed or removed our clothing, and indeed, we had none with which to make a change, as we were not allowed to get at our trunks. Being unaware that we should be subjected to this inconvenience, our gripsacks were quite unprepared for the contingency, and we suffered from the need of He pretends to have nothings politics more than he should not like to speak about Queen Anne compelled to do so against the king with an energy and in a way that the founder of the dynasty was not born at the time.

News has been received of the insane Empress Carlotta, widow of Maximilian, which says that she made a terrible acue a short time ago. She had sunk into a condition of apathy from which it was impossible to arouse her. At last she began to cry that she wanted to hear the Mexican national hymn. This was played for her, and then she became fearfully excited, and before she could be stopped leaped from the window into the garden and ran along the paths tearing her clothes. When almost naked she sprang into the fountain, and it was only by the greatest effort of her servants that she was saved from drowning. She was brought back to the palace in an exhausted condition, but that very night she escaped from the house with nothing on but her night dress and ran into the road. She cast off her gown and hid among the bushes. Finally some laborers discovered her, and covering her with their coats, conveyed her to the house. The unfortunate lady is in good physical health and is likely to live for many years yet. As a result of the feud in the Masonic fraternity of Ohio, growing out of the differences between the northern jurisdiction of the Carnesus rites, there is a split in the Master Mason Grand Lodge of Masons, identified with the Carnesus, under ban, and this culminated in the creation of the Grand Lodge of Ancient, Free and Accepted Masons of Ohio, which the other day received a charter from the Secretary of State. An irrevocable clause in the constitution provides that this grand lodge shall recognize as Masonic no degrees in Masonry except entered apprentice; fellowcraft and Master Mason; nor shall it recognize any body as Masonic which confers other than these three degrees. It will not, however, proscribe any one for having taken any of the so-called higher degrees.

Three days we traveled thus. They were by no means days to be regretted, though the physical discomforts attending them, and especially the inability to sleep comfortably, were such that I would not care to repeat the experience. For three days we never changed or removed our clothing, and indeed, we had none with which to make a change, as we were not allowed to get at our trunks. Being unaware that we should be subjected to this inconvenience, our gripsacks were quite unprepared for the contingency, and we suffered from the need of many useful articles. After passing the highlands the scenery becomes monotonicous and dreary in the extreme. We were now in the midst of the border land dividing ambitions, aggressive Russia from her suspicious neighbors on the southwest. In grim contrast to the fertile and well-populated fields of Hungary, here with Roumania on the north and Bulgaria on the south, all was like a desert land. There were but few river towns, and between these but little life was seen, excepting cattle, horses and sheep. It is a grazing country, and the few people inhabiting it were apparently nomadic. Farms were utterly lacking. A country ravaged by recent and destructive war might look as this forlorn country looked. We left the boat at Rustchuk, in Bulgaria, so sleepy that we could hardly keep our eyes open; and as to untidiness—quite on a par with our cosmopolitan mates aforementioned, could scarcely look at one another without laughing, and the question is still undecided which of us would have appeared least presentable in polite society. At Varna, a seaport town on the Black Sea, we found a fine steamer awaiting us, of the Austrian Lloyd Company, to which we were carried in a row-boat, in a drenching rain and through a heavy sea. Here, at last, we found the boon of sleep, and neither rain nor waves, neither remembrances of home nor anticipations of Constantinople, that we were soon to greet, interfered with our dreamless slumbers. A statement prepared at the Postoffice Department shows that the number of post-offices in the country on June 30, 1891, was 64,391, as follows: First class, 116; second class, 550; third class, 2,276; fourth class, 61,559. This is an increase of 2000 offices during the year. It is not so large an increase as that made during the previous fiscal year, but during the past year many useless offices have been discontinued, though the same practice of the department of establishing new post-offices wherever needed has been continued.
