The noble family of Russells, of which the Duke of Bedford is the head, origin ally belonged to Dorsetshire, on the southern coast of England. One of them' bir Ralph Russell, Knight, was Constable or cone uastie as early as 1221, which may De called a respectable antiquitv. Passing over a few generations we come to John Russell, who, at the beginning of mo Bixieenm century, resided a few miles from Bridgeport, where be and hiB descendants might have remained in the rank of private gentlemeu, but for a re markable chance circumstance, though it is evident that the chance would have been unavailing had there not been ability to take advantage of it. No doubt "There is a tide in the affairs of men which, at the time of the flood, leads to fortune;" but what signifies the highest flood-times in human affairs if people have not mental culture and tact to make the best of the opportunity? How beauti fully this is illustrated in the story of the Russells. In 1506 Philip, Archduke of Austria, being on his passage from Flan ders to Spain, encountered the fury ef a sudden storm in the English Channel, and took refuge in Weymouth. There he was hospitably received bv Sir Thoman Trenchard, a gentleman of rank in the neighborhood. Apprising the court of Henry VII. of the circumstance. Sir Thomas invited his relative. Mr. Russell. a i .i i . -.. . ' Km recently returned irom nis travels.fo visit the Archduke. The invitation heino- accepted, the Prince was fascinated by su.t. fiuweu-B intelligence and companion able qualities, and requested that he should accompany him to Windsor. L!ai i rr- i i ., . . . f. wminer me iving nad invited him tore- pair. Un the journey the Archduke he came still more pleased with his "learned discourse and generous deportment," for, as he was able to converse in French and trerman, there was no difficulty on ac count of language. So pleased was the Archduke that he strongly recommended onr. iiusseil to the lung. As a eonse quence, ne was taken immediately into royal favor, and appointed one of the gentlemen of the Privy Chamber. Sub sequently he became the favorite of Henry VJII. and a companion of that monarch in the French wars. Now on the high road to fortune, he was appoint ed to several high and confidential offices. Finally, in 1539, he was created uaron itusseii, oi Uheneys, m the county of Bucks, which estate he afterwards ac quired by marriage. To make the good luck of the first Lord Russell something beyond precedent, he lived at the out break or the Reformation in England, when monastic institutions were dis solved, and church lands, in the hands of Henry VIII. were given to lay adherents to the Crown with what may be called reckless munificence. Lord Russell came in for an uncommonly large share in the general distribution. In 1540, when the great monasteries were dissolved, his lordship obtained a grant for himself and nis wire, and their heirs, in the site of the ADoy or lavistock, and of extensive pos oeaaiuus ueionging tnereto. There was much more to come. After the accession of Edward VI., Lord Russell had a grant of the monastery of Woburn, and was created Earl of Bedford, 1550. In 1552, a patent was granted to John.

The arrival of over two hundred Ice landers on Wednesday evening was a most welcome visitation at this season of the year. The temoeratnre 1ms hwn ah. tirefy comfortable since they struck the town. In counteraction of the summer solstice they beat the Manitoba wave out of sight. They were a cool-looking crowd. This party went by sailing ves sels from Iceland to Glasgow, where they took the Valdensia for Quebec, where they arrived on July 13th. Their destination was originally Mani toba, but, being captivated by the oily speech of an emissary of the Chicago and Northwestern Railway, the party were induced to change their pro gramme, and, instead of going to the Canadian province, they proposed locating at Minnesota, a border settle ment on the Winona and St. Peter Rail way. Not a soul among the the 200 em igrants from the frozen zone understood a word of English. Of course an inter preter accompanied the party. But for him they would have been obliged to lay over at some station until thev emM pick up a little English education. The children, of whom there was a good-sized grist, were sleek-looking kids, with blue eyes and "tow" heads. The men and women all had white hair. There wasn't a black eye among the whole 200. A few of tie women were quite handsome, and all were passably good-looking in appearance away ahead of most foreign immigrants. They ap pear to have succeeded in raising chil dren in Iceland if nothing else, for one middle aged woman was trying to take care of 13 youngsters, the oldest being only 15 years of age. The men wore sheepskin overcoats, or cloaks, with a headgear, or hood, attached, the gar ments being sewn together by the sinews of the reindeer. The lower extremities were encased in sheepskin leggings. Their feet were dressed in wooden clogs. Some of the overcoats had sleeves, and some had not. These people carry an enormous bulk of baggage, pne old fellow, who hobbled around on two canes, was growling because he couldn't find his seven trunks.

As is well known, the body of rnaooleon I. was in terred in Hotel des -Invalided during the reign of Louis Phillippe. This great sol dier's home was to become for the Bona partes w hat bt. Dennis had been for the Bourbons, whence it was to be deemed not a family burial place, but the mauso leum only ot those members who had worn crowns. In accordance with this principle of selection, Napoleon III. caused the body of King Joseph to be brought from Florence, where he died in 1844. This was in 1862, and the following year tne otner crowned uonapartes (-Loui of Holland and Jerome of Westralen) fol lowed him. For the others the late Em peror had a fine motuary chapel built at Ajaccio. ine crypt, underneath the chapel flour, is octagon in shape, three of the eight tombs being already occupied. The center of the chapel itself has but four walls, the spaces corresponding to the other sides of the octagon beneath, being open nans, rorming together a Latin cross. Of the four walls, three are occu pied by inscriptions in. honor of the per- Buiia uunea oeneatn; lor the rourtn and last place no candidate has till now pre sented itself. One of the inscriptions runs : Mane Laetitia Romolia Carolo Bona parte nupta, A. D. MDCCLX VII. cui inclyta proles Joseph Hispaniae Bex. Napoleo Gallaie Imperator. Lucianus Caninae Princeps. Elisa Summ Thuseiae Dux. Ludovicus Hallandiae Bex. Panlina Guastaldise Dux. Carolina Neapolis Rex. Hieronymus Guestphaliae Rex. Bomao Ohiil. 11 irK. .,.;; a n MDCCCXX VI., Reliquiae depositae, IUUUjVIiIA. The other persons honored bv inscriD tions are Cardinal Fesch and Charles Bonaparte, second Prince of Canino, and famous for his knowledge of natural his tory, who died as Director of the Paris Botanical Garden in 1856. When in power, the Bonapartwts have always had great means of getting rich, but most of mem nave lived so extravagantly as to have nothing left when once more oat of omce. .Laetitia and Fesch, however, were exceptions to the rule, both having left large properties. That of the first even tually came to Napoleon III., and was of great use to him in carrying oat the coup d'etat. Fesch left moet of his wealth to Joseph Bonaparte. The property of the late Prince, Louis Napoleon, came from the Princess Bacciocchi. One of the most remarkable feats eer accomplished in railroading was perform ed recently by the St. Louis, Iron Moun tain and Southern in a chanere of frauee of seven hundred miles of road. Hereto fore the gauge had been five feet. It has Deen reduced to the standard width of four feet eight and a half inches. About six weeks ago the Board of Directors of the Iron Mountain adopted a resolution providing for the change of gauge, and immediately thereafter Mr. Thomas Allen, the President of the corn pan v,ga ve the order for the work to be done. Active preparations were begun at once. Extra men were employed, and all the shops began to run on extra time. Every locomotive and every car had to be cut down for the new gauge, and much of this had to be done beforehand, so there would be no interruption of business. The actual work of changing the track began at some points as soon as the mid night trains had passed. Over three thousand men were employed for the oc casion. The men divided into squads, and each squad was put under the charge of a "boss." The "bosses" were under the direction of the roadmasters, and the roadmasters under the direction of the division superintendent, and the whole gang under the supervision of the general superintendent. There are four divisions of the Iron Mountain Railroad. The Texas division is 145 miles in length : the Arkansas division is 180 miles in length ; the Missouri division is 196 miles in leneth. and the St. Louis division is 172 miles in length. Over six hundred freieht cars, sixtv engines, and all the passenger coaches have been cut down and are ready for the new gauge, and the regular business of the road was interfered with only about six or seven hours. Regular trains will start hereafter and will arrive and depart as usual. The cost of the change will not fall short of $200.000. St. Low's Post-LHsmtch. Bank op England Notes. Few of the persons who handle Bank of England notes ever think ot the amount of labor and ingenuity that is expended in their production. According to an official re port these notes are made from pure white linen cuttings, never from rags that have been worn. They have been manufactured for nearly 200 years by the same family, the Portals, Protestant So carefully is the paper prepared that even the number of dips into the pulp made by each workman is registered on a dial by machinery, and the sheets are carefully counted and booked to each person through whose hands they pass. The printing is done by a curious process in Mr. Coe's de partment within the bank building. There is an elaborate arrangement for securing that no note shall be exactly like any other in existence. Conse quently there never was a duplicate of a Bank of England except by forgery. Ac cording to the City Jress the stock of paid notes of seven vears is about 94.- 000,000 in number, and they fill 18,000 Doxes, which, u placed side by side. would reach three miles. The notes placed in a pile would be eight miles, or lr joined end to end would rorm a ribbon 15,000 miles long: their superficial ex tent is more than that of Hyde Park; their original value was over 15.000.- 000, and their weight over 112 tons. Citoyen Jules Vallee. the well-known Communist refugee in London, in writing recently to Mile. Bernhardt for Dermission to call upon her, said : "M.

May the curse of God rest upon an impious traffic which is robbing the State of its manhood; turning the feet of oar sons away from the paths of industry, and transforming our sober and industrious fathers into condemned criminals. It certainly would seem that enough of disgrace and destruction has already been visited upon our homes to warn all those who have anything of self esteem and family love remaining, to shun an indulgence which saps their strength, distracts their minds, casts to the winds the fruits of a life-time's labors, and leads them to deeds which bend their heads with shame and plunge their families into the depths of despair. But the end is not yet. Infatuation still leads men to pursue gain, even whore loss and ruin are surest to be found, and the community, while it pours out its sympathy for the fallen, still accords respectability to a traffic which should be held in the deepest detesta tion for the evil which it brings upon society. Instances recur which are so like hundreds which have gone before that the details need hardly to be recited. A man, with a beautiful home, a devoted wife and a group of lovely children; a man, who, by nearly 20 years of constant devotion to the interests of his employers, had won their fullest confidence, and who ssooa Derore tne community as a model of unyielding industry, sud denly appears a confessed criminal, and in a day is transformed from an apparent promoter of public virtue to an enemy of society, who has his liberty only at the price of pledges from his friends. Does anyone need to be told the cause of the transfor mation? Is it necessary to tell again how the glittering snares of the stock gambler entrapped the feet which trod so firmly the path of virtue and industry; how the mind was turned from its sober thoughts and honor able ambitions by the visions of short-cuts to fortunes; how the blind ing promises were false as perdition, and yet so alluring that he who pur sued them was led in the deeper, un til the funds of employers, confident ly entrusted to his care, were secretly appropriated to feed the unholy fire of the gambling passion; how the theft was ere long discovered, and how the bars closed in the wreck of reputation and of honor, while tears flow in the home, and heartfelt sym pathy and regret fill a neighborhood But what use is it to recite such painful incidents when the evil seems to grow the while ? No sooner does some wretched conspiracy of impious men fall into the hands of the police than another, even more glaring, springs into view. And the people poor, senseless throng crowd the counters of the swindling cormor ants, giving their hard-earned sav ings in return for naught bat worth less promises. For a few days the gold pours in, and then the throng comes some morning to find the doors closed and their treasures gone beyond recovery. One would think that these specious frauds would be recognized by the shallowest brain, and yet experience proves that vic tims are always ready to jostle one another in the rush to ruin. It is plain that there should be some power to guard the people against these coarser forms of fraud, for these are the traps that catch the poor and the unwary. There is one thing that the public should demand from the press, and tbat is, that the insidious snares should not be spared in the public prints. What use is it that tne editorial columns or our dailies warn people against them so long as their guttering advertise ments are received by the publishers? Vhat use to preach virtue when the hands are filled with the rewards from vice ? The press is a sharer in the fortunes made by ruining homes and wrecking lives, and so long as this is true, the friends of humanity will have cause to mourn. The public has its eye open to the evil, and yet it lives. In the city, some business houses' which employ many men have their spies abroad and as soon as any man in their em ploy takes a hand in stocks, he is watched and his accounts scrutin ized daily. What better evidence could be had of the way in which the business is regarded by our lead ing men? And yet the evil grows. Not satisfied with the gambling in railway and other securities at the East, they have introduced the Cali fornia system, and already victims are falling just as men fall when plague settles down upon a city. Only last week it was a bank officer who went down to perdition in Now York, by breach of trust, through gambling in stocks. Thus, East and West, the evil spreads, and distrust rises as virtue sinks. What can save the people? Nothing, unless each one works to save himself, and to spread a truer idea of the danger. Let it be understood that whoever enters the business in any form placei his foot upon dangerous ground, which may ere long part and engulf him. As a man values his, reputation, as he loves his home, his wife, his children; as he values a right life here and cherishes a hope beyond, let him shun the evil the crowning evil of the day. In a Water Spout. From the Denver Hews. Through the prompt assistance of the managers of the South Park road, the damages done to the track in the Platte Canyon and near Buffalo by the water spout are speedily being repaired, and the customary travel on the road will be resumed very soon. The telegraph wires are still down, but a statement of the true conditions of affairs have been obtained through the medium of the nassengers wbo were delayed in consequence of the otuiw. j.u conversation wun a gent 'email who was stopping for a few dayltat the boarding-house near the saw mill at Thompson's, the informant said: "We had a terrible hail storm shortly after 3 o'clock, and stones as big as hen's eggs fell thick and fast. While we were stand ing at a safe distance from the windows, for nearly every pane of glass was broken, we saw a remarkable phenomenon, ac companied by a dull, heavy roaring sound, like distant thunder. A large volume of what we afterwards found to be water was seen at the top of the mountain, coming closer and closer, like an immense funnel. As it approached the noise became al most deafening, and one old gentleman all assembled in and around thn donrwiiv I J i-r.t . . . . . U - .

When the heighth of the excitement had abated a lit tle, an anxious mother missed her infant child, and instant search was made for the lost little one. After an hour spent in the water and mud, one of the gentlemen stream arm pomina down t hp mnnntmn 'side, lying close up by a rock which also supported a large bureau, under which the little one sat in an apartment in-' tended lor a lower drawer. The child was not a bit frightened, but seemed to be rather pleased with its situation, and, strange enough, had hardly a scratch upon it. The joy of the distressed parent can easily be conceived when the wet youngster was placed safe and sound in her arms. The water continued to rush do wn the gulch for several hours, and we had to prepare places to sleep on the side of the mountain. Early the next morning I joined a number of men who desired to reach Denver as soon as possi ble, and started to walk to the train. about seven miles distant. When reached there we found it was a wrecking train with a coach attached, and after be ing delayed several hours for the wreck ers to prepare the track, we started on our way home. In the canyon the track was also gutted out in spots, and a good bit of it at other places had the bedding washed out and the rails twisted. Temporary bridges are being constructed to facilitate the running of the trains. An engine was run into a ditch a short distance this side of Thomp son's in consequence ci the- weakened condition of the road-bed. Three flat cars were also carried away some 40 feet, with three men on them, who, wonderful to relate, were not at all injured; they only received a thorough drenching and a big scare. One of the most disastrous difficulties arising from this unexpected accident is the great delay of the mails. There has not yet been a single mail sent out to Lead viile since the storm, and as a conse quence there has been a great accumula tion of matter which will doubtless bea source of much trouble to the carbonate camp, as well as to the many towns along the line of the road. Such an accident is likely to occur at most any time, and pro vision should be made that in such an event in future there need be no delay in the mails. Denver Tribune.

It sucked the liquor clean out of the jug, blew it all down his throat, and turned the jug inside out. He couldjre member nothing more of the occurrence. To Live in Washington.
