CURRENT TOPICS. A Habtfokd despatch to the New York Po»t aays thit Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe's health remains in the same con- dition in which it has been for the past year. She shows the effect of her age, but is still able to attend church and visit neighbors. It was thought best that she should not attend the funeral of her brother. During the last visit of Henry Ward Beecher last autumn he told Mrs. Stowe that he was expecting death, and that Apoplexy would bie the cause. Amatkor astronomers who are ambitious to lead a forlorn hope with the chance of covering themselves with glory would do well to watch the sun to-morrow. On that â- day, according to the calculations of Oppolzer, the mysterious planet Vulcan, if thiere is any such body, may be seen cross- ing the face of the sun. As there are no spots upon the sun, the appearance of a small black object upon its dusk, par- tioularly if it were perfectly round, would be suspicious, and if the motion of this object were such as to carry it across the sun in a few hours, the fortunate observer might have reason to hope he had at last caught sight of the long sought and much- mistmsted Vulcan.

Homptv-Ddmpty had abig fall, but it was as. nothing to the fall of King Christian, of Denmark, the other night. It happened at Copenhagen. King Christian was not play- ing " Copenhagen," however, though he was dancing with thekissable Miss Kstrup. and that was next thing to the game afore said. In front of the Queen's Throne the waxed floor was as slippery as ice, Down went a couple in the wait.;, and a moment later the heels of His Majesty.kicked at the heavens. King Christian fell flat on his back at full length. His head struck the corner of a step to the throne. He was stunned and lay as still as death. Miss Kstrup was thrown and slightly cut. Great was the hubbub. Comtesse Reventlow was seized with a crite de tier/t and some ladies fainted. By and by King Christian came to and was put to bed. He is up and out now, and is down on dancing. Patrick Ch.\lmer», whose father was a bookseller in Dundee, Scotland, fifty years «go, has been arguing before committees and the public for twenty years in defence of his claim that his father was the origi- nator of the adhesive postage stamp now iu general use. The credit of this useful device has hitherto been usually given to Sir Rowland Hill, the eminent postal re- former. It now appears from letters of both Hill and the Scotch bookseller that the latter brought his plan to Hill's notice. The defence of Ills father's claims to the honor for twenty years and its final acknow- ledgment b) the English Dictionary of National Biography is a singular instance of persistency. The junior Chalmers has bevn elected a member of several historical societies in acknowledgment of his proof of his father's claims. A LosiioN correspondent learns from a private lett-.r received from Vienna that a magnificent dinner service of the Dresden bright yellow ware, only used for royal presents, is being made there by order of the Emperor William for the Queen for presen- tation oil the occasion of her jubilee. Each piate will have five medallions, having on tliem either allegorical pictures recalling memorable iucidentsof the Victorian eraor portraits of celebrities of the Queen's reign. I'here are to be in all '2M8 large and I'iO small plates, and 72 dishes of all si/tes, be- sides tureens, sauce-boats and fruit dishes. The centre piece for flowers and fruit will be surmounted by a statuette of the Queen, and have medallion portraits in relief â€" white on gold â€" of the members of the royal family of England. Rkports from France indicate that if a war should soon break out, the future strategist of the B'rench army would be Gen. Saussier, a man of whom very little is heard, for the reason that he keefw his mouth shut, and does not mix very largely with the representatives of the social and jHilitical world in I'aris. But for years past tleii. Saussier has been preparing plans for a possible campaign against Ger- many, and hence, if hostilities begin, his countrymen will act under much more in- telligent guidance than that which directed their course seventeen years ago. At that timeOeii. v*n Moltke was the only man who had a definite plan, ana there were iu> strategical movements on the French side that were worth the name. But this time the great German strategist will find that the lesson of the past has not been lost, and that there are others who can practise the methods that have proved so serviceable to him. KiNd Wit.i.HM IV.dieil about 2 o'clock in the morning of June 'iOth fifty years ago, and as he left no children to succeed to the throne the Oown passed to the daughter of his brother, the dead Duke of Kent, Ale.\aiidrina Victoria, than only a little more than 18 years of age. Victoria, there- fore, became Queen on the "iOth of June. Immediatelv upon the death of the King the Archbi'ihop of Canterbury, Dr. Hawley, and the Marquis of Conyngham started for Kensington Palace to inform the girl of 18 that she was the ruler of the great British people. They arrived about 5 o'clock in the morning, and, upon their sending word that their business was urgent, Victoria came down to them in her white night dress, with a shawl thrown over her shoulders, slippers upon her feet and her bair falling down her back, but perfectly collected and dignified. Victoria met the Cabinet at U o'clock the same morning, and presided with as much dignity and com- posure as Mrs. Cleveland manifested at her first reception. The coronation â- "â- * "'^' take place until more than a year later, June 25th, 18*J. FiFTKKN years ago, according to the Lon- don Economiit, at least one-half of the wheat consumed in 'i,ue Uniied iiingdom was raised there. At present the propor- tion has shrank to iO per cent., while 70 per cent, is imported. The annual average consumption of wheat per capita at the for- mer date was 34H pounds, valued at $7.12^. At present the consumption is 337 pounds, valued at $4.^'0. The authority ([uoted says that bread has decreased in value in that period 40 per cent. Notwithstanding the cheapening of the staple product, it will be 'earned with surprise that the con- sumption has decreased Ijt per cent. The cause of this apparent infringement of economic laws is to be found in the increas- ed consumption of vegetable food, such ag potatoes and other garden products, thus indicating a decided change in the charac- ter of the food eaten. Bread was formerly almost the sola food of most factory opera- tives and the agricultural classes. Free imports of foreign meats and vegetables, added to the fact that much land formerly devo*-^i to cereals is now devoted to raising garden products, has enabled consumers to diversify their bill of fare. E.^TEX BV WOLVE.S. X Toung Han's Terrible Adventure in Dakota. How Much Can B« Dreamt id Fire SeconaU I was sitting with a police official at hia office, and we were discussing some fantastic story, when an employee came in and sat down beside us, leaning with his elbows on the table. I looked up and said to him, " You have forgotten to make the soup." "No, no; come with me." We went out together, going across long corridors, I walking behind him, at the college where I had been brought up. He went into the wing of the house which I knew well, and which led to the class rooms. Under the stairs he showed Cie a dtove on which stood an oyster shell with a little white paint in it (I had been mi.xing water colors the evening before). '• But \ou have forgotten the vegetables. Go to the porter at the other end of the courtyard ; you will find them there on a table." I waite*! for a longtime; at last I saw him making signs to me that he had found nothing. " It is at the left hand side," I shouted, and saw him cross the yard, coming back with an immense cabbage. I took a knife from my pocket, which I always kept there, and at the moment when I was going to cut the vegetable I was awakened by the noise of a bowl of soup being put heavily on the marble top of the table next to my bed. It appears to me that the idea of soup was suggested to ma by the smell at the moment when the door was opened by the servant bringing in the soup while I was asleep and it takes five seconds at the most to walk from the door to the bed.â€" /fciui' .S'CI>Hfl«i/U<f. Never Believea Him Guilty. I attended the Beecher-Tilton trial from first to last, and was in court both when the first juror was called and when the final verdict was rendered half a year afterwards. I heard all the testimony of every witness and all the other evidence that was intro- duced. I hstened to the whole of every speech of all the lawyers on both sides week after week. 1 was personally acquainted with all the parties in the case, from Beecher and Tiltoii to Moulton, the " Mutual Friend." I made notes of all the features of the trial that were pablished from day to day. And yet, when all was over, I left the court-room wholly unconvinced that Beecher was guilty of the charge brought against him. I stated this fact often in print when he vias alive, and I repeat it now that he is dead. â€" lohn Swinton'i Ptipir. The Milliuuaire.

There passed through St. Paul Sunday in routt to the east a man whose appearance was loathsome in the extreme, and whose life in the future will be a burden to him. As a reporter was walking about the Union depot he came upon a man with his face wrapped up so that nothing but his eyes were visible. Thinking perhaps that some accident had befallen him, the reporter, accosting him, was told that ax ;oon as an eastern train could be boarded he would let the reporter ascertain for himself as to whether an accident had occurred. As soon as the sleeper was reached the man took from his head the many bandages, and the sight that met the reporter's gaze was a shocking one. The nose and left ear were entirely gone, and the other ear looked as if it had been slit with a knife in a dozen places. Great pieces of flesh had been torn from each cheek, and taken all together the man's face little resembled the features of a human being. The man gave his name as John C. Hazzard, and his story, which was told with many pain- ful halts, was as follows : 'â-  If you want it I will give you the cir- cumstances of an adventure whicn has left me in this condition. I am a young man of considerable means, and came from southern Ohio last winter to invest in Dakota lands. I was in St. faul about the 1st of December, and left over the Northern Pacific for Knife Kiver, Morton county, Dakota. After reaching there I learned that an old friend of mine was living some twenty-five miles from there, and started to pay him a visit. Taking a horse I started out early one morning, thinking I would get there along in the altemoon. I had travelled probably fifteen mJes when one of those terrible blizzards set in. It turned cold suddenly, and the wind cut like a knife. The snow fell so fast that it was impossible to see but a short distance, and losing my bearings I was soon riding around the open prairie, completely lost. I did not stop for a moment, hoping to come across ii house or at least some place where shelter could be found. It did not take long to bethoroughly chilled, and my horse began to show signs of exhaustion. Night came on, and I had made up my mind to kill the horse, and seek shelter by his carcass, when I heard » sound which did not by any means raise my spirits. It was nothing less than a pack of wolves following the scent of our partially covered tracks. The storm had by this time partially abated. The horse heard the howl of the wolves, and made a struggle to increase his pace ; but it was no good, for the beast had become so chilled and tired that he could scarcely move. Coming to a little rise in the prairie I saw, a short distance away, a light shin- ing through the window of a shanty, and I thought I was safe. I heard the wolves comiug nearer and nearer, and was con- gratulating myself that I would not be the means of giving them a sijuare meal, when my horse stumbled and fell, with me partly under him, my head striking some hard substance. That is the last 1 remember until the next day. I was afterwards told by the man \*-ho lived in the shanty which I was trying to reach, and to whom I owi-d my rescue, that the howl of the wolves had attracted the attention of the dogs, and together they had driven the beasts ofi. but not until I had been almost killed. I was within ten rods of the shanty when found. 1 will stop in Chicago to see if something cannot be done for nil', ana if not will no to Europe. .Vt first I feared hydrophobia, but the wounds are healing and I may escape that.

That Extraordinary Disappearance of a Ward iu Chaneery from Dublin. Dublin has been much excited during the past week over the disappearance of a youthful ward of the English Court of Chancery named Ethel Roe, a girl aged about 13 years, who resided with her grandmother at 27 Pembroke road. On Saturday morning, February Itfth, the little girl's room was found empty, her clothes being left on a chair beside the bed. The hall door was found open and it was supposed that the child must have been kidnapped, and that narcotics must have been used. The police made every effort to trace the missing child, but without suc- cess. Yesterday the Freeman's Journal pub- lished an explanation which appears to be almost as mysterious as the original mys- tery itself. A letter has been received from the child herself, dated Metz, February 26th, and this document states that she left of her own free will, as a child very naturally and rightly wishes to be with her mother. The composition of the letter is in itself noticeable, in view of the age of the child, who, however, is stated to have been highly educated She "vrites : " I there, fore profited of the first opportunity afforded me to escape, and was accompanied by a faithful friend to my present destination. I need not add how delighted I am to be in my home and with my mother, sisters and brothers, whom, for the past four and a half years, I earnestly longed to join. I shall also express a hope that all advocates of liberty of conscience will approve of the step I have now taken, as it will afford me an opportunity of practising the Roman Catholic religion, in which I have always believed, and which, of late years, I have been always taught to e.xecrate." The Irish I'mua showed the letter to the friends of the girl in Dub'in, and received from her uncle a letter in which he states his con- victinn that she wrote at the dictation, and most probably under the compulsion, of the person stated to be her faithful friend. Ue states that the mother :>ave her up voiun tarily to the grandmother in September. 1842, and never asked to have her back since. Ethel is said to have been most happy and contented in her home, and to have taken the greatest delight in studying the Scriptures, and her uncle denies that she was taught to execrate any form of religion. Our Nationalist contem- porary gives some explanations of a rather startling kind, and froui these it wonid appear that " a plain working man not connected with the plan at all," asked the child whether she desired to be free from " the thraldom, ' and restored to her mother. She replied, it is said, in the afliruiative. and, in accordance with an agreement, walked out of the house on the Saturday morning on which she was missed, met the plain working man, with whose assistance and that of " a faithful wor>ian servant. " she was taken, disguised as a boy, and with her hair cut off, to Bel- fast, thence to Greenock, from Greenock to Edinburgh, from Edinburgh to Leith and from Leith by steamer to France, where the girl, it is stated, is happy and contented with her mother, her brothers and sisters. The two " poor humble working people " who aided in the escape are said to have had " no other motive in this matter but one of pity of the child and a desire to rescue a human soul. " The child's grand- mother was, of course, a Protestant. The whole story is a most extraordinary iie, and the mystery seems to be by no means solved bv the explanation offered. â€" liiliunl »•/„.;, .y\ir>:li ;.'«,/. A Modem Bridal UutHt.

After much press- ing the bride consented to open it, and there lay. pillowed on a layer of pink wadding, a six-barrelled revolver, a Spanish poignard aiid a large bottle of vitriol.

There was such a very pretty wedding at St. Paul's, Knightsbridge, on Saturday that we did wish for you to be there to see it. The bride was Lady Adela Rons, and she looked charming in her marriage gown of white moire, with a small wreath of orange blossoms fastened on with multi- tudinous diamond stars, and a magnificeni bouquet of lilies and other white flowers. The bouquet, I am glad to say, was not cumbrously large, as some brides' bouquets have been of late, and the arrangement of lovely blooms was perfect. The train of the wedding dress was carried by two of the very tiniest pages I have ever seen. They were dressed in white satin. The bridesmaids wore really tasteful dresses of some pale blue or eau-de-Nii material, re- lieved with brown velvet. Their hats had high crowns of either straw or brown velvet, but the brims were blue. Their bouquets were azaleas, in lovely tones of pink and coral intermingled. This attire looked warm and comfortable. I always think that white or cream-colored dresses for bridesmaids look cold and chilling at any time save summer and early autumn. I have never seen such bonnets as those worn by the smart people in the congrega- tion. One lady appeared in a very spring- like bonnet of white straw, trimmed with a high bunch of Napks violets. A large cluster of similar flowers was tucked in the bosom of her dark heliotrope- velvet bodice. A necket of cut amber lay upon folds of white lace, which came down in points upon the sombre velvet. The ear-rings were amethysts, just a little too blue in tone to assort comfortably with the pale mauve of the violets. This lady carried a delicious little wrap made of tiger-akin â€" just the sort of thing that a very wealthy woman dare buy. for it could not possibly be worn more than half a dozen times in the year, being too conspicuous. A handsome brunette had a ruby velvet jacket quite tight-fitting, edged with beaver. Her bonnet was red and so was her gown, but the former was velvet, the latter silk. A tall and splendid blonde, with glorious coils of pale brown glossy hair, wore a boilice and overdress of putty- colored ottoman over a skirt and plastron of brightly-striped silk. The collar and cuffs were of the stripes. The small bon- net was embroidered and edged with a fluff of silk chenile, just a shade darker and a tone richer than the putty tint of the silk. It was trimmed with a group of red roses or poppies. The ear-rings were very long and very old fashioned, but they were of diamonds ami pearls of the rarest. A short ruby. velvet mantle, trimmed with sablo tails, just matched the dowers in the bon- net. Two sisters in half-mourning were beautifully dressedâ€" one in black velvet trimmed with chinchilla, and bonnet to match ; the other also in black velvet, with trimmings of rich, finely cut steel. A handsome but morose-looking woman had no less than three diamond stars in her bonnet strings. A blonde who was present had something black in her hair. Wo could not make out what it was. so decided that .she had truffled her hair as a refresh inu novelty. â€" L./tini C'lmin MaJi' in l.on- lion Truth.
