Sir Julian Paunccfete, the British minister, 5z roen anoei.v khan. en the ether hand, actually enjoys these little attentions se characteristic of the Americans. Sir Julian is a breezy old fellow himself, and likes nothing better than te take a party of ilia young men out te the races, te the thcatre or n gatue of baseball. The customs and manners of the peo ple are all a great study te him, nnd he doesn't appear te care a whit if the peo ple stare at him and tall: nlieut him within easy car shot. He nstenished everybody a few nights age by going lie hind the scenes te call en the summer opera queen, nnd when he was at the circus, shortly after his arrival here, he acted like a big lxy out for n geed time. He actually indulged in red Icmonade and peanuts, and when the concert ticket sellers caine around he Ixniglit a ticket for every member of his company. They sat in their scats till the last false nete of the "concert" had died away, nnd were even then loath te go home. Sir Julian has seen enough of baseball te cnable him te tell when the home club is knocking out runs, and with a local pride nnd patriotism that rolled great credit upon his catholicity of spirit, he applauds the geed plays of the Washing ton clubatcveryoppertunity. Sir Julian is what the boys call "a trump." He U an Englishman who knows hew te make a jeke and hew te take ene. He is in clined te be the least bit unconventional, and Washington can scarcely contain it self while waiting the nrrlval of his fam ily and the throwing open of the legation liouse for the social season. Washington people are also eager te get into the heuse occupied by the Corean ladies. Society in the capital is nothing if net curious, especially where foreign ministers and their families nre con cerned. The male- members of the Corcan col ony are often seen in public, ns they are fend of both riding and driving, but the ladles are rarely' or never seen.

The departure of Hadji llasselufihoely !f Khan for Persia caused the shedding of no tears in the Ceiean heuse en O street. In fact, the round faced Corean women are said te liave clapped their hands in glee, for did net the august and austere Ohoely Khan once snub the Cere.ins un mercifully?

The coach was drawn tip befere the state de partment the ether day, and from it alighted Mr. Mumm VonSchwerzenstcln, secretary of legation. Mr. Mumm Ven Schwarzensteln, though a learned nnd estimable gentleman, is, after all, n mere clerk, but ns he was en business with the state department, the Herman notion of otlquctte required him te use the lega tion carriage. The footman, who descended from the box te open the carrfiige deer for the secretary, was se gorgeously nttircd that n crowd collected and stared at him for half an hour. The chasseur wero gaudy livery, resplendent with geld and lace. It must liave lcn n very tincomfertablo suit for a het day, as a dark blue cloak of broadcloth, with a double row of gilt buttons down its front, enveloped the entire figure. But the chasseur sat lin lin lin movable and apparently imperturbable in the broiling sun, where there was scarce enough brccze te stir the feather plume and cockade of the German colon which decorated his tall blue chapcau.

Hut en second thought the critics havoceneluded te let Count d'Arce Valley's yager alone, they having discov ered that while the employment of uni formed chasseurs is nu innovation in Washington it is nu established custom in Purlin, St. Petersburg, IjOtiden, Paris, Madrid, Vienna nnd Keine. The Chinese, minister mid his lively young men nre always being talked about. If half the stories told of them were true, nnd the young emperor of China was much of iv stickler for the proprieties, probably there would seen be n shaking up in the celestial legation at the western capital. These young Orientals nre extremely fend of driving nbeut the city, and may be met any evening en the quiet country reads or in the Soldiers' Heme grounds, nearly always accompanied by young ladles. The penchant of the Chinese attaches for American ladies is ene of the rcmarknble phases of life in the for eign colony, and ns long ns there is any number of young women, entirely re spectable, but a little iuililTetcnt te pub lic, opinion, who nre willing te exchange smiles for carriage rides, suppers and boxes at the opera, thu gessipcrs may lie expected te goon wagging their tongues. The ChlncBO legation Is near Dupent cir cle, and here the gay young Asiatics nre often found cracking Jokes with nurse maids and taking lessens in American coquetry.

New Yentt, July 23. The writer of favorite hymns is ene of the great low ers that influence the world. Such a person can approach nearer te the hearts of people than any ene else. Se much is true of even the ordinary hymn writer, but when ene can Im said te liave written inore Sunday school hymns than any ten living writers she has achieved n unique distinction. This Is believed te be the record of Fanny Cresby, the subject of this sketch. Frances Jnne Cresby, the daughter of Jehn nud Mercy Cresby, the latter of whom is still living, was born in South east, Putnam county, N. Y., March 24, 1820. She became blind nt the nge of 0 weeks from malticatmrnt of the eyes. When she was 0 years old she moved with her parents te Itldgcllcld, Conn., the family remaining there four years. At the age of 15 she entered the Institu tion for the Blind in New Yerk city, where she received n geed education. She licgnn te teacli iu this school iu Sep tember, 1817, und continued her work tliere until March 1, 18.-.3. She taught Kngliah grammar, rhetoric nnd Greek, Iteinnn aud American history. During ene of her vacations, while she was still teaching, she wrete the words te many songs for Mr. Geerge F. Heet. Among them were the following, all ex tremely epuIar In their day: "Hazel Dell," "Kesalie, the Pralrie Flower," "Heneysuckle Glen," "Proud World, "Ooed-hy,. I'm Going Heme," "There's Music in the Air," nud the words for the cantatas of "Pilgrim Fnthers" nnd "The Flower Queen." In '12 nnd Mil, while receiving Instruction iu the school, she u nil en a tour through New Yerk state for the purjioseof making the institution liettcr known nnd securing pupils for it. During this trip she visited Niagara Falls, nnd went te nil the points of inter est there, the Lpcnc3 being described te her by u friend. While Miss Cresby was teaching at tills school she met Henry Clay, Presi dents Tyler and Van Buren, Governer AVIlliam II. Sewnrd nnd Gen. Winlleid Scott. She tells this story of the visit of Mr. Clay: "When Henry Clay came te the insti tution, during his laU visit te New Yerk, I was selected te welcome him by a poem. Six months Itcfere, he had lest n, hen at ene of thu battles of the Mexican war, nnd I had sent him seme verses. In my address I carefully nveided any allu sion te them in order net te wound him. When 1 had finished lie drew my nun in his nnd said, through his tears, 'This is net the first poem for which I mn in debted te this lady. Six months age she sent me seme lines op the death of my dear son.' Beth of us were overcomo for n few minutes. Soen, by ft splendid ef fort, Mr. Clay rtcevcied himself, but I could net control my tears." In connection with her meeting these netable men I might add that Miss Cros Cres by had the honor of being the first we man whose volce was heard pub licly in the hen ate chamber. She rend a poem there en ene oc casion. She has pub lished three vol umes of verses. The first was is sued in 181 i and was called "The Blind Girl, nnd Other Poems." It contained n steel portrait of the r.KNY CKOSJVY. author. A second volume, "Monterey, nnd Other Poems," followed iu 18-19, nnd the third, "A Wreath of Columbia's Flowers," in 1559. Though these show ed the poetical bent of her mind, they liave little or nothing te de with her fnme. It is ns n Sunday school hymn writer that she is known wherever the English language is spoken, nud, in deed, wherever many another language is heard. Miss Cresby was married te Alexander Van Alstyne, March 5, 1858. She began te writu Sunday school hymns for William Ii. Bradbury in 1801. Her first hymn: We nre coins, we are (joins Te n lienie beyond tUe sties, wns written nt the Ponten hotel en Franklin street, New Yerk city, en Feb. 6 of that year. Smce then she has sup sup jierted heisclf by hymn willing, She lives in New Yerk city and spends regu lar hours en certain days nt the offices of Biglow & Main, the firm for which she does most of her writing. She has com posed ever twenty-five hundred hymns for William It. Bradbury and his succes sors, the abeve named linn, lKidesinauy hundreds mero for Philip Phillips, S. J. Vnil, Kev. Samuel Ahuaii, II. IVD.iuks, W. 11. Deane, II. P. Mein, J. It. Sweeney. W. J. Kirkpatrlck nnd ethers. She has a perfect Idea of ihythm nnd a remarkable faculty of composing words for special occasions. She can compose at any time, nnd does net need, as se many verse writers de, te wait for an inspiration. If n piece Is wanted she is told the theme, the occasion aud the meter; perhaps a tune already prepared Is played or sung te her, and the is left alene for awhile. Shu always composes with an open book, generally a copy of "Gelden Hymns," held closely everher eyes. Iu this way she has worn out a number of copies of that little book. Shu learned te play en the guitar and piano while at the Institution, nnd had n clear soprano voice. She received u technical training in music, and for this iciseii ulie can, aud does, compeso aiis for home of her hymns. One of these is: Jesus, dear, I come te Uiee, Theu liast aalJ I may; ' - - - - T -"- both weids and music of which are won derfully sweet. "Safe in the Arms of Jesus," probably her best known hymn, is her own favorite. Miss Cresby is a small woman w ith nn animated way of moving almut and sjieaking. She is as cheery a person as ene could meet, and is always ready for u pleasant chat. The secret of this con tentment, she tells me, is found In her first piece, composed at the age of 8 years. Said she: "It lias been the motto of my life." It is as follews: 0 wbat a liappjr tout I am Although I cannot seel 1 am rvJtM lhat la thli nerll Contented I will be. Hew many Uesklnu I enjoy That ether weiU doe't; Te weep or sigh bocause I'm LllaJ J cannot nor I n en'C. I never met a person vhe had a keener nppreclatlen of her blessings in life than Miss Cresby. It is net every blind ersen who can discern the silver lining of clouds as cleat ly as she cau. She bays tint had it net been for her affliction she might net have se geed an education nor be great nn Influence, and certainly net se fine a memory. She knows a creat many Dortiena of tia Bible by heart, and committed te mem ory the books of Oencsts, Exodus, Lo Le vltlcus nnd Numbers and the four Gos pels bcfoie she was 15. Then her mind is stored with much that she has learned. from licr favorite authors. Dccause of this fine memory she is n very entertain ing talker. As is the case with the blind her ether senses are very keen, nnd she knows' friends and acquaintances simply by a touch of the hand. An air of marvelous contentment is apparent in her. She loves her work, nnd Is linppy in it, for she has the satisfaction of being inde pendent thereby, besides the pleasure of knowing Hint her hymns nre a power for geed. They nre sung everywhere, nnd nre suited te nil occasions. "Keep Theu My Way, O Ird," w3 written for n piece of music already composed, and was used for several years na the "prayer song" at the Mayflower mission con nected with Plymouth church, Brooklyn. Her scope of subjects is wide, embracing everything from a contemplation of heaven, ns in "The Bright Forever." te an nppcal te the work of tills world, as in "Itcscue the Perishing." Miss Cresby tells nn interesting story of this hymn. One evening slie attended n mission prayer meeting and during the services "Itcscue the Perishing" wns hung. At its clese n young man spoke, telling hew the sound of its familiar words had helped te save him. He had get Inte bad ways, and ene night, when homeless, penniless nnd hopeless, heard seme peeple singing it. He followed the sound until it led him te n room where a meeting was Iu progress. He went iu and sat down. The words impressed him deeply, nnd he was finally "res cued" by their Influence. As the young man finished his story, he expressed n great desire te see the writer of that hymn, nnd after the meeting the pleas tire was granted, net only te lil.s own but te Miss Cresby's great gratification. She told me three ether incidents con nected with well known hymns of her own, which I will give in her language. Thu first is nbeut "Safe in the Arms of Jesus." "While I was coming out of church with Mr, Saukey after en 6 of the North field meetings, n lady stepped up and nsked his permission te speak te inc. He gave it, nnd she said te me: 'O, thank Godt I liave prayed that I might see you befere I died. "Safe In the arms of Jesus" was the last thing my mother said befere she went home.' " The second shows ene of the influ ences arising from the hymn, "Pass Me Net," and was told by the subject of the story te a friend of Miss Cresby. "An old man spent Sundays fishing in n brook near n school liouse where Sun day school and preaching services were held. One Sunday he heard the children singing, nnd baid te himself: 'I'll go nnd see what they ure doing.' He went, and heard them singing: "Pass me net, O Kentle Saviour, Hear my humlile cry; While en ethers thou art calling, Ve net iulmi me by. "The words tee in eel te touch him. He listened several minutes until soineJund person invited him iu. He said, 'Ne, I nm net dressed te come In.' After a little persuasion he said, 'I will if the children u ill biug that hymn again.' Ilia request was granted, nnd the result was the conversion of n man who had net been near n church for fifty years." The third rclales the personal experi ence which inspired her te write, "All the Way My Saviour Leads Me." "I was sitting in my room en u het day in July, thinking. Some ene caine came in and gave me ten dollars. I didn't expect it. The gift nwakened a train of thought, nnd I icflcctcd that, step by step, Get! was leading me, nnd said, 'Prniae Ged that I cannot see any mere tlan 1 del' " This, in brief, U the career of Fanny Cresby. In this case, ns In the case of all favor favor Ite writers, it is the personality the life behind the words that mnkes them at tractive. If I liave bhewn this person ality nnd character nt all cleaily 1 nt nt tribute it te the inllucnce of the conver sations I liave had with Miss Cresby, The following list of her best known hynin'j, with dates when they were writ writ ten, may prove inteicsting: Safe In the Anrn of Jcui 1SC3 I'aw Me Net, OOcntle Saviour 1SCS llewue the IVrUliIng 1803 1 am Thine, 0 Lord 1873 Te the Werk 1370 There's a Cry from Mr.ccJeiiU liSC.I Jesus, Dear, ICometoTheo. 1SC7 Light and Comfert or Jly Beul 1307 Theru'e a Gvutln Volce Within lift) TheitrUht Forever 1S7I ClokUteTheo 1373 lord, nt Thy Mercy Beat 1MU ToOed lie the U lery 1875 Ulie the Sound of Many Watcn IH74 Keen Theu My Way, O Ixml ISM (Written for the music, ami which was the prayer sons nt the May Hener 311-ulen bun day school, llroeklyn, for several years.)

(Special Corrennendpnce.1 New YeriK, July 23. In these days eich young lady seeks te nsscrt her in dividuality and thcrcfore studies herself witli regard tehcr dress and its possibili ties. It is net enough for her te leek sweet and maidenly. She must leek dif ferent from any ether girl, and she will net wear a dress like that of another simply because It Is the fashion. The young girl of today is a law te herself iu the matter of what she shall wear, and she has discovered that by paying atten tion te "details she maybe picturesque and remarkable among a hundred ether girls all as pretty ns she, and many ei them mero expensively dressed than she. MODirtHD CLVSSICAL. The grace and bcntity of classical cos tumes has led te their being studied in their relation te Nineteenth century needs and it is disco veied that they require very few changes te adapt them te indi viduals. Their simplicity is the first recommendation, their grace n second, and the third is that it isn't everybody who Ioek3 well in them. In the first place, the severity of a classical costume, requires the most per fect ease und grace of movement, ns well as of outline, for angularity ruins the elTcct, nnd the wearer must also jkh scss or cultivate slew and dignified man ncra. The sprightly coquette has no business in a classical cestume unless she wishes te be ridiculous. In making a classic cestume the re quirements nre few nnd simple. White or cream cashmere, veiling or flannel, China crepe or soft mull me suitable. If it should happen that such n diess is de sired for tableaux, cheese cloth at three cents a yard is geed. Generally speak ing, no trimming is required, but a Greek key pattern dene in silverer geld thread, or narrow blue, red or yellow riblieii is always an addition. Flowers nnd leaves can be ndded for n party. I give with this n modified classlt.nl dress for a grand hop nt a watering place, or for n ceremonious dinner or ether even ing entertainment. The model is of oeft cream mull and trimmed with n trailing spray and leaves. It will be noticed that there is n dounle belt, which Is somewhat of an innovation but very pictty, and the cestume altogether shows what changes the weaicrhas made for her own peculiar taste or need. Tine, a classical rebe in olden day7 would net have been supplemented by n fan nnd a pair of Sucde gloves; all the same, they nre net out of place today. The wearer wanted sleeves and she has them, uud altogether she has a cestume as Individual ns it is charming and graceful. The arrangement of the hair is just ns much dependent upon the btyle of the i day ns ever, uud yet there are independ ent thinkers enough among the young ' girls te het fashion nt defiance and wear what is most becoming. Girls fellow ' the prevailing 6tylcs in generalities, but they, as I saw before, study themselves mero, and se adept what they like best. They set the nbsolute rules of fashion at deflauce in a bewildeiing way, aud leek , nil the prettier for it. Slurried women liave se many ether things te think of i that it is rather a relief te them te blind- ' ly fellow n fashion, without studying Usm Usm relatien te their own nppearance, rather glad that fashion has taken the trouble of thinking out of their hands. IIANDSOJIE RCDINOOTR. As it is new ) en u ill find, for instance, at a ball as many btylcs of halrdrcssing ns there are girls. The curls ever the forehead are tee becoming te ever aban don. They have l-ecn in vegue Biuce Eve's time, I verily 'jeliove, elT ami en, though 1 believe there wasa period when it was ardently desired te have a high forehead. 1 was in n great jewelry es tablishment n few days age and there I saw hundreds of Greek fillets in bilver, geld, brenze, copper and mother of pearl. Some were in the form of chains, ethers fiat plain bands, nnd ethers egnin were richly chased and seme were jeweled. There is another nbuse against which I new lift my pen. That is the abuse of the dlrectolre redlngetes. These gur ments nre handsome, picturesque and very boceniinztosome figures and made In the proper materials, which are cash cash mcte, light ladles' cloth nnd lustrlne, with suitable accessories, but they tire net te be worn everywhere nor by ever) woman, nor should they be made of any of the cheap und blazy materials. "Imi tations" of this or that ether goods, net shetilil they be made of great glaring plaid or figured goods, and they are only for outdoor wear.

Nothing I Mure Carten There Than th Algerian JiiBglnr. tSpeclal Cerre.K!iidence.l Paris, July 12. The exhibition hat brought te this city many curious tilings, but nene mero se than a troupe of Al gerian jugglers, uhe have established themselves en the Esplanade des Inva lides, and who each evening draw a large crowd pf curiosity seekers. These men are known in their own country by the name of Aysseua, and they are most expert, but their powers seem te be given mero te horror producing than pleasing sights, but tliere Is n fascina tion that forces the beholder te remain until the last act is finished. The performance begins with an Infer nal din of. drums of n peculiar make, nnd this is continued until it is supposed that the higher powers have listened te their appeal for aid. When this noise be comes Insupjwrtable it ceases suddenly, nnd a silence almost painful reigns for seme minutes, after which ene of the jugglers brings n brazier and places it in the center of the stage, nnd throws a powder upon it, which sends up a light smekn with a pleasant pungent odor. Twe of the jugglers then advance and ene supports the ether's head ever the smoke. After this the man lifts his eyes towards the sky and rolls his head around rapidly, nnd it is prebable that this rapid movement of the head causes a partial insepsibliity of the body, for suddenly he precipitates himself upon a plle of broken glass and cactus leaves, and devours the glass and sharp cactus spines. During this he throws himself flat en his stomach, rises, lifts his eyes te heaven in nn ecstasy, while the ethers beat en their drums, nnd then hd rises nnd nfter saluting the chief takes his place en a bench as calm and placid as a peel of water in a dark forest, though tiie cactti3 thorns inflict painful wounds. A second rises, is conducted te the brazier, breathes the smeke and then gives himself up te the most extraordi nary contortions, a? though in n terrible fit nnd with every expression of agony, throws himself en hid stomach nnd begs for the box of vipers. This Is given him nnd he beams with joy, and opens the liex, taking out the poisonous snakes. They enlace his arms and neck, which nre bare, nnd they bite him in a dozen places, whereat he laughs gleefully nud kisses them ns he replaces them and re tires te the bench. He is followed by ethers who Inflict the most revolting cruelties upon them selves. They stick nails and needles through their legs and checks, and then 6miIe ns the public leeks for the bleed te flew lu vain. One of them takes special pains te show hew he sticks a fine needle into his eye, nnd another pulls his eye from its socket, and when the bleed tiicklcs down the check he laughs and turns swiftly around and it is iu its place again, nnd he tries te leek as If he is in spired. The last thing en the pregramme nfter a number of things all curious, te say nothing of being horrible, is for ene of them te take n small box and from that set loeso a scorpion, which he allows te run around en his face, and he provokes it ns much as possible until at last it turns and stings hint, after which he swallows the little reptile, or at least ap pears te. The place uhcre this curious perform ance is carried en Is handsomely fitted up and hung with barbaric tapestry, and though one would think no person of re finement would care te visit buch n re volting entertainment, it is always full of the elite of French society, The price of admission Is very high, nnd every evening may be seen a long line of pri vate carriages waiting for the perform ance te finish. The rich people In France find It as hardtonmuse themselves and pass the time ns the peeple of the same class de in every country. Hut the women show that the old taste for horrors has never diet! out in the hearts of French women since the days when they used te pity the horses who were whipped te make them pull harder se ns te tear seme wretched elicndcr te pieces. Among the carriages which sToed at the deer of this place te-night were these of the Counters de Peurlates, the Prlncosse de Sagan and Mdame de Nolret. Buffalo Hill is popular, but he docs net give se many horrors at short range. The Algerians are thin and dark, but picturesque in their tribal costumes, and they are something new. Perhaps te-morrow it will be something clse. MallY HltrjIKAN. CRICKETS IN NORTH AFRICA. Yeu May Call Tlieiu Grmiheppers If Yeu With, ami There Are tut or Them. The Arabs of North Africa, aided by the French and Meers, have, taken a les les eon from the early settlers r.f Kansas and Ncluaska in fighting the grasshoppers. Perhaps It would be mero correct te call them crickets (the French use both names), for they differ materially from the light winged grasshoppers of the Ws. ms mm ihM'iTV,:',.!!1 w": CAMP OF CItlCKCT IIUKTCUS. western plains of Ameiica. They also come from the south, net from the north west, as iu Kansas, because the desert is te the south. Starting from far down in Africa they inove steadily en in icsistless clouds toward the fcheies of the Medi terranean every year they de seme damage and some years they produce a famine. In the French provinces of Agerla and Tunis the K.-ople commenced light ing them in the ordinary Kansas method of "whipping back," but accomplished little. The government then organized n sort of militia te meet them en the desert, before their wings grew; natural ravines were taken ndvantage of, and the creatures, swept back into these, were destroyed by millions. The natives then put up low calico curtains ncress the level lands nnd dug ditches behind them; the creatures tumbled ever into the ditches till the mass was two or three feet deep, when they were pounded te pulp, burned or covered with earth. Last of nil, the wild Arabs of the bolder were lured te hunt for their eggs, mid seen dl-.cuveied that all these were laid in a very narrow belt und concen trated as te area.

SALTU3. A Brilliant, Vertatlla anliu ami III Ex Ex traerdlnary Talent. One of the most versatile geniuses of the age, a Bohemian of the most pro nounced type, died the ether day in Tar Tar rytewn, N. Y. Perhaps few have heard the name of Francis S. Saltus, but some of the brightest humorous paragraphs, seme of the best verses, came from his pen. His best work is said te be the "Witch of Ender," a biblical poem. Per haps the best idea of this talented man is obtained from the following description of him by n friend of his: "He could sit down befere a piano and play every known grand opera.frem rZ0.A beginning te end, Wtjk4' j9j without n printed HMgirM He could net only aiKvQl - p gire you the or- fyTjSJpMra iginal casts of the WW)htfi operas, their his- Mujtjjfjtniuftv teriesnnd the his- sBHRK!jfw; teries of the men MTjrWBrvfR who wrete nnd IllMflijliK1 composed them. ''sWu'AlfflV He knew the go- 'Xflj egraphy of the ...,, s eALTtJ world better than rnA;,CI9 s- saltcs. any teacher I ever met. He Knew Na Na eoleon the Great better than the latter's historians. "Napeleon was one of his gods, Daude Daude lalre was another, Albert Uuier another. He could, off hand (and everything he did he did in nn off hand manner), give you the alpha and omega of nil the great emperor's battles, from LedI te Water loo. He could rattle off the lives of nil the ladles nnd gentlemen of (se called) 'royal bleed' who ever were a crown or 6,i U upon or near or behind a throne. He wrete n marvelous comic history of Eng land, of Reme, of America. He wrote an opera that ran for 100 nights in Paris, eighteen years nge. He wrete the short est play that was ever written, produced in Paris, eighteen or twenty years age. Frem the rise te the fall of the curtain only fifty-eight Eecends elapsed. "More than half the witty, audacious nnd humorous squibs which have been ci edited te his intellectual inferiors dur ing the past ten ycnr3, in the papers of this country nnd ethers, were his. I liave known him te write 2e0 joking paragraphs between 2 nnd 1 1 p. m. of a sunny Sunday. He would just let me go en talking, white he, witli his pad befere him, would jet down three line squibs, the germ of which would be a word or motion from his guest, no would bit down befere n piano and im provise in the most heavenly way. If a lyric in the poet's corner of a paper ap pealed te him he would immediately wed it te the most delicious melody." Mr. Saltus was such a handsome man that the celebrated-artist CabaneJ once stepped him en the sheet, nnd said that Mr. Saltus' face was the most perfect face of the Greek type he had ever seen, and asked that he might paint his por trait. He was 30 years of age when he died. JOSE ZORILLA. Recently Crowned National I'net of Spain. Ill Career. After spending most of his life in a hard struggle for fame, of which he get much, ami money, of which he get little, Jese Kerilln las been crowned national poet of Spnin.

His family cast him off. When he was 20 years old he published his first volume of poems. During the succeeding eight years his name was signed te ten mero books of poetry nnd thirty dramas. Then his father died without forgiving him for Ids disobedience, nnd without mention ing him in his will. Then Jese went te Paris. It was there he began his "Granada," an epic in which are immor talized the wonderful traditions and legends of theGOUthcrn kingdom. Finan cial ill luck followed him. His ngent became bankrupt, his poem was pirated. He became discouraged and did net finish ills epic, of which he had alitMily issued two volumes. The next twelve years were spent In Mexico, where the talented Spaniard was honored by the patronage of Emperor Maximilian. At the end of that ruler's short and stormy reign the poet returned te his own country nnd managed by ex erting himself te his utmost te keep body and soul together. Twe years of salaried position under the government followed and then he became for a time a successful lecturer. Finally he was granted a pension by the government. After that mark of recognition ha went back te Valladolid, the city of his birth, and lived the life of a recluse un til called from hi3 retirement te receive this last tribute of the honor nnd leve of his country, just as the 6un of his life is beginning te sink behind the mountains of old age.
