HADE IN ONE NIGHT. PUNGENT PARAGRAPHS. TO PLATE THE DEAD. HTr :the Harbor of Marshfield, Cape Cod Bay, Wai Formed. A. JlntkMtl Qui Piled l the ln( mm4 Cranlad Valnnbln An horna far th.. Const SblpnlnnV Year ago Marshfield, situated on Cape Cod bay, about half way between Cohasset and Plymouth, was a bus tling little coast town, and was in fact one of the shipbuilding towns of note In the country's earliest history. The famous trading brig Columbia, after which the Columbia river was named, was built here, as were also several Tea sels used as privateers iu the war of 1812. If it had been allowed to work out it own destiny, Marshtield might even now be a thriving town like Ks aex, which is known for its honest and thorough ship-building wherever the fishermen of Ji'ew England guide their restless keels. But nature intervened, and walled the town up in a prison, the like ol which may be seen at many places on sandy Cape Cod. Originally the mouth of the river was at a point nearly opposite thetown, but gradually, as the soil washed down by the river and the sand worked up by the seat met, a bar formed extend ing from the north aide of the river's mouth across it, thus stopping the swift, direct flow which had always kept the channel free and clear. Then the river turned south, and the sandbar followed it, growing in site as the flow of the river decreased, until it had become a good-sited promontory inside of which the river flowed, with an outlet far to the southward of the ' original one opposite the town. Beine turned out of its regular channel in this way, tJne river also broadened and shal lowed. The current slackened, and the deposits carried down by it were dropped inside, instead of outside, the mouth, while throughout the little roadstead inside the old mouth islets formed, so that there were few good places for a boat to lie, even if any thing more than the ahoaleat draught could have got in over the bars at the mouth. So Marshfield remained behind its barrier of sand and peat until the night of November 26, when the big storm set in. All night long the tierce north east gale piled the Rater up against the outside of the promontory, and on the following day, in conjunction with the gale, came one of the highest tides of the year. The water rose until at length it broke clear over a low place in ure promontory, between what are known as third and fourth cliffs, and swept up into the river with all the power of the high tide and hurricane at its baek. The river was filled until the water rose over the brido-e and un into the street at Marshfield, and hun dreds of acres of the big marshes ly ing to the southeast of the town, and from which it takes its name, were covered several feet with water. When all this Immense bod v of water tarted on its return to the sea with the falling tide, it was impossible for it to -get out quickly enough by the shallow and devious way through the mouth of the river, so it went out in the way most of it had come in, by the break made by the sea over the promontory, and the scouring of this strong tide undid in a single night the work of many years. When the Marshfield folk visited the place the next day they found, where there had been solid ground 48 hours before, a- clean-cut channel, 250 feet wide and 13 feet deep for its full width, through which the tide ran like a millrace, while in the older mouth of the river there was -hardly and movement. For a mile or more outside of the cut the water was discolored by tb dirt and refuse which were being carried out by the current, and even-then it was evident the bars ond islets which had filled the harbor were being washed away. The work that began then has been going steadily on ever since. Many of the little islets which had formed In the harbor have entirely disappeared, -and others are growing smaller every day. There is a straight, free entrance to the sea, which is in a more direct line with the flow of the river than even the old mouth of years ago, ant Miruuga wnicn a good-sized vessel can enter at any stage of the tide. Inside of it is a harbor large enough for quite fleet to anchor, with good holding ground and from 30 to 40 feet of water in most places, while the rush of the xiae appears to be deepening both chan nel and roadstead. If matters continue as favorably as they have begun, the harbor thus strangely created will be a very ral uable one, not only to Marshfield itself, but to our coast shipping, and even more to our yachtsmen. Up to now there beg not been a single good harbor n the south shore, as the outer harbor of Plymouth is not a safe anchorage for small craft, and the inner harbor can be gained only by a skilled pilot. -Between Plymouth and Hull there are only fScituat and Cohasset. Both of these are shoal, and the latter is with. out sufficient protection from a north- m gaie. Boston Transcript,' : with Metals.

There were 56, though of these those in foreign hands cannot be stopped. The imperial de cree of October 9 was as follows: "As newspapers only serve to excite the masses to subvert the present order of things, and the. editors concerned come from the dregs of the literary classes, no good can be served by the continua- tion of such dangerous instrument and we hereby command the entice suppression and sealing up of all news papers pub,.. -bed within the. empire, while the editors connected with them are to be arrested and punished with tne utmost severity of the law." Now, with four or five exceptions, tnese papers nave been very well con ducted, and certainly in some cases Chinese editors may take rank among "quite tne best people in China." One, who was merely the editor of a local paper till then bad been tutor to the children of Chang Chih Tung, the one incorruptible vicerov. let these men and for no other offense than that of being newspaper editors, are to be nun ished with the utmost severity of the law, and this by the arbitrary will of a woman, hated throughout China, who has summarily deposed her adopted son anu made nerself ruler in bis nlace, Kang, the modern sage, who has only escaped beheading through the pro tection of an English man-of-war, begs the English people to take steps for the protection of the relatives of one of these editors, Liang, the editor of Ldinese Progress. He has himself es caped into hiding somewhere or other. but by Chinese usage all the relations of a criminal are reckoned criminals. even to the ninth degree; and Mr. Liangs foster mother, aunt, uncle, orotner and nephew have been seized by the officials. Mr. Kang's own whole family fled in the night from their nome across the Pearl river, at Canton, before officials arrived to seize them; though hoiv a wl-ole clan can succeed in remaking hidden it is difficult to. understand, unless under the protec tion of the British flag at Hong-Kong. His brother, of course, was among the first six leaders beheaded at Peking. St. James' Gazette. A Woman Hlarhwar Robber. According to a recent report from Russia, thereis-a professional hitrbwav- woman in that country, whose name is given as Barbara Damicria. She i said to be dashing and beautiful, arid ride like a centaur. In describing her uiaritsinansnip tne statement is mail. that she can scallop the edge of a tinv Russian coin with rifle bullets at an'v range within sight. She is also dis tinguished for her courtly manners, and, like all famous highwaymen, she robs only 'the rich, giving liberally to the poor.1 She avoids all possibility of the- shedding of blood, and, although ihe wears men's. clothes, her voice and beauty declare her to be a woman. The people in the neighborhood in which she carries on her trade are enthus iastic in their D raise of this woman footpad,- N. Y. Tribune. Among the topics constantly agltal lug social and sanitary experts are the difficulties of urbuu sepulture. The largest cities no longer tolerate burial cemeteries within their limits. The ex pense mid trouble that this prohibition involves have given rise to the alterna tive Ideas of Incineration uud other similar methods for the disposition of the dead. So tunny details of the pres ent way of conducting funerals hnre been developed by the progressive spirit of the times that it is no wonder that in this peculiar Held also there should be an application of scientific elements. Evidences found by delvers Into the extant relies of the past of the pro fleney the nnclents attained in the process of embalming have encouraged modern attempts at the preservation of the dead. Some of these are mere temporary-expedients to keep the body for a brief time before burial. Others attempt to make the preservation per manent. A qualified success ill this di rection has led to the assertion that the lost art of embalming has been rediscovered. This is the age of electrical wonders. The area of human affairs into which the mysterious current does not run and revolutionize existing conditions is practically unknown. The domain of the "great majority" is its latest field of operation. A scientist, of most advanced elec trical Ideas, who recently returned from Europe, is the advocate of an applica tion of electrical methods for the pres ervation of the dead. He holds that his experiments prove it not onlv en tirely practical, but the genuine eud of the age system of permanent embalm ing. He has been a laborious student f Egyptology, and is familiar with all the discoveries made in the disinte grating of the mummies from tbelran- cient coverings. During a stay in Rome he visited the famous cemetery of the Capuchins, un der the church of that order, iu the 1'iazza de Cuppuccini. Here the vaults coutain tombs with earth from Jeru salem. When new interments are to be made the bones longest undisturbed in these vaults arc taken out. From these the most ghastly decorations for the walls and roofs have been fash ioned. While lookingat thecrumbling remains of the 4,000 departed monks lined up against the wall it occurred to aim that if bodies were only treatml to the electrical process by which they could be incased in a metallic surface they would thus be preserved intact and lifelike for all time. Experiments followed, which the sci entist regards as highly sstisfactorv. To those unfamiliar with the process or eiectrotyping it may be said that to nave a tbin film of metal deposited on the entire surface it is first covered with plumbago more familiar to unscien tific ken in siove polish. Then with an acid bath and the electric current the transfer is effected. Ordinary metallic platings of table ware and other articles of familiar use are common enough, but experiment had to show that the idea was also ap plicable to other substances. Meats and vegetable fibers were so treated to his satisfaction, and then he advanced to bis embalming theory. in this the body is prepared for the oruinary embalming. The viscera are removed and the preservative I inn 1,1 I, injected into the veins.

The representative of Italy has uivniys maintained a very modest es tablishment at this capital.

In the two Instances where the withdrawal of British ministers has been reciuestrd by this government a curious coinci dence of social history occurs. Sir John Crampton, whose recall was demanded because he endeavored to enlist re cruits In this country for thd British nrmy in the Crimea, like Lord Sackrille, took his wife from the stage. She was the star of an operatic troupe perform ing at St. Petersburg, where 81r John Crampton was the British minister. He became desperately infatuated with her, and a marriage followed. Her maiden name was Victoria BaJfe, her father being the composer Ualfe of "Bohemian Gfrll" celebrity, r.s well as the author of several other opera. Lord Sockville, ns Sir Lionel Ssckville West, married at the eleventh hour, and Just shortly before her death, Pepita Durand. a dnncer. who was th-? mother "f the Misses West. France has always fought shv of real estate investments here, preferring to rent. When M. Patenotre married Miss Elverson, of Philadelphia, the house o. 1710 a street became the French embassy. At the time of this cMstin. guisbed international wedding, about iuu years naa elapsed since M. Genet, me nrsi jrrencn minister to this coun try, married Cornelia Tappan Clinton, daughter of the governor of New York. It seems a peculiar coincidence that the nrst French minister and the first am bassador should succumb to the charms of the American girl. Tho prominent part played by the present ambassador In the peace negotiations between this country and Spain will give the house No. 1710 H street still greater historical interest. The mansion was built by Richard Bush, of Philadelphia, and was occupied by his family during John Quincy Adams' administration, whan Jiusn was secretary of the treasury. In 1818 he went to England as American minister, taking Benjamin Ogle Tayloe, the original owner of the Octagon house, with him na secretary of legv Hon. The Octagon bouBe. however, waa built years before the Bush mansion, the latter dating from about 382, The quaintly picturesque architecture is very attractive, even at tbisadsy. Germany bought her own home on Highland terrace, Massachusetts ave nue, several years ago. It is a spacious, elegant mansion, fhorourfrhlv modern. and with no historical associations whatever.
