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. Earl of Bed
ford, of Covent Garden, lying in the Met

From the Frozen Zone.
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. In one respect
they resembled tourists more that immi

We have as yet no knowledge where
win oe deposited tne remains ot tbe late
Prince, but It is probable that they will
be transferred to Corsica. 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

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

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. Got is friendly
enough to forget that he was near being
shot by those with whom I was van
quished, and receives me sometimes in
the morning iust as if I was not a pro
scribed Revolutionist."

From the Pacific Rural Press.
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.

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

and take in the situation. When the
heighth of the excitement had abated a lit

child, and instant search was made for
the lost little one. After an hour spent in
the water and mud, one of the gentlemen

supported a large bureau, under which
the little one sat in an apartment in-'

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

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

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

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.

The Reno (Nev.) Gazette says: During

morning, J. Moorman Cutter started out
with a half-gallon of whisky for his sick
mother who lives on Virginia street. He
was found some hours after, behind a
fence on the hill, in an articulate con
