“ How under heavens :rn I to get along now ?” 
was the regretful remar)c of shiftless Hank Munroe 
of Lebanon. Mo., after he had, m a moment, of 
anger, killed the wife who had long supported him. 
General Torbert, lost on the Vera Cruz, leaves a 
widow, but no children. Hla estates near Milford, 
Del, are valued at $200,000. He Is reported to have 
acted bravely and cheerfully durlDg the last hours 
before the wreck. 
Miss Flora Shavon, daughter of Senator Sharon, 
Is betrothed to Sir Thomas llesketh, a wealthy 
Englishman, who. In the course of a tour round 
the world Ur his steam yacht, has been making a 
stop at San Francisco. 
Professor Alexander Graham Bell has received 
the Volta prize of the French Academy of $10,000 
for the Invention of the telephone, as "the best ap¬ 
plication or electricity.” He values the prize 
chiefly, he says, as settling the question of the 
real inventor. 
Mr. Gladstone is going to Madeira, and a sea 
voyage will. It Is thought, thoroughly restore him. 
He is said to be at present troubled about the will 
of his late sister, Helen Gladstone. It has mys¬ 
teriously disappeared, and her executors have 
offered a reward of $5no for its discovery, 
Henry Labouchere, editor and proprietor of tbe 
London Times, who has lately become a promi¬ 
nent advocate of farmers' rights In Parliament. Is 
described as a scholar of extensive and well-di¬ 
gested reading, a traveled linguist, a diplomatist 
of nearly twenty years'training, a shrewd finan¬ 
cier, a brilliant conversationalist, a ready, Inci¬ 
sive public speaker, a man of wit, a man of sense, 
and a man of'business. 
It has been suggested that Mr. Gladstone ought 
to succeed the late Lord Stratford do Reddy ffe as 
Knight of the Garter, although the honor Is rarely 
conferred upon a commoner. Admiral Montague, 
whose ship brought Charles II. back to England, 
was created a Knight of the Garter before he re¬ 
ceived the Earldom of Sandwich, as was Monk, at 
the same time, before he was known as Duke of 
Albemarle. According to Pepys, the only com¬ 
moner on whom the honor had been conferred 
previously was George Vllllers, first Dukeot Buck¬ 
ingham, who was enrolled when only a plain 
knight, In 1610. But Sir ltobert Walpole received 
a garter In 1726 ; and one was offered to the 
younger Pitt by George III., and on his declining 
It, given to his brother, Lord Chatham.

Perils of the Deep. 
The world-renowned swimmer, Captain Paul 
Boynton. In an Interview with a newspaper cor¬ 
respondent. at tne seashore, related the following 
Incidents in his experience : 
Reporter. — Captain Boynton, you must have 
seen a large part of the world 7 ” 
Captain Boynton.—" Yes sir, by the aid of my 
Rubber Life Saving Dress, I have traveled over 
10,00c miles on the rivers of America and Europe ; 
have also been presented to the crowned heads of 
England. France, Germany, Austria, Belgium. 
Italy, Holland, Spain and Portugal, and have in 
my possession forty.two medals and decorations ; 
I have three times received the order of knight¬ 
hood, and been elected honorary member of com¬ 
mittees, clubs, orders and societies." 
Reporter.—" Were your various trips accompa¬ 
nied by much danger ? ” 
Capt. Boynton.—That depends upon what you 
may call dangerous. Dutlug my trip down tne 
river Tagus In Spain, I had to Shoor," one hun¬ 
dred and t a o waterfalls, the highest being about 
elghty-flve feet, and Innumerable rapids. Cross¬ 
ing tue Straits of Messina, I had three ribs broken 
In a tight with sharks; and coming down the So- 
rnane, a river In France, 1 received a charge of 
shot from an excited and startled nuntsman. Al- 
though all this was not very pleasant, and might 
be termed dangerous, I fear nothing more on my 
trip than Intense cold ; for, as long as my limbs 
are free and easy, and not cramped or benumbed, 
I am all right. Of late I carry a stock of St. Jacobs 
Oil iu my little boat,—(the captain calls It « Baby 
Mine,” and has stored therein signal rockets, ther¬ 
mometer, compass, provisions, etc.)—and I have 
had but little trouble. Before starting out l rub 
myself thoroughly with the article, and Its action 
on the muscles Is wonderful. From constant ex¬ 
posure I am somewhat subject to rheumatic pains, 
and nothing would ever benefit me, unlU I got 
hold of this Great German Remedy. Why, on my 
travi is I have met people who had been suffering 
with rheumatism ror years; by my advice they 
tried the oil, and it, cured them. I would sooner 
do witnout food for days than without this remedy 
for one hour, In fact l would 'not attempt a trip 
without it,” 
Tbe Captain became very enthusiastic on the 
subject of St. Jacobs oil and we left him citing in¬ 
stances of the curative qualities of the Great Ger¬ 
man Remedy to a party around him.
