So one day when something had gone wrong he jumped up and skipped about the room, sliout= ing: “Iwish I hada pistol. I would shoot the son-of-c-gun.” To which the stolid Bailey replied: «You wouldn't know whether a pistol was loaded from the handle or the muzzle, Terry.” “Well, Pd like to blow him up all the same,” Terry replied, “That you are perfectly capable of doing,” satd Batley, “with your tongue.” Half an hour Jater ‘Terry had biown his man up and the knight didn’t seem to know it, for he was smiling and chirping with Powderly as pleasantly as a clerk to a pretty customer.

Brief but Graphic Biographical Sketch. Bill Nye in the Boston Globe. Charlotte Corday was born on a foreign strand, now known as Normandy, named in honor of the large speckled gray horses with thick, piano legs and gross necks, that come from there to engage In hauling beer wagons in the land of the free and the home of the brave. Here Charlotte was born in the year 1792. Like the record of Mr. Spartacus, who in speaking of | his own experience said that his early life ran quiet as the clear brook by which he sported, the childhood of Charlotte Corday was almost devoid of interest, being monotonous and unanimous, as a self-made man said to me not long since, refer- ring to the elimale of the sonth. She early turned her attention, however, to the matter of patriotism, hoping to’ obtain a livell- hood in the patriot line some day. She investi- gated the grievances of France, and gave her at- tention almost exclusively to the invention of some way by which to redress these grievances, Some of them had not been redressed for centu- ries, and they ought to have been ashamed of themselves. According to all accounts the grievances of France were, at that time, in full dress and short sleeves, ready for the ball to open. a fell to the lot of Charlotte Corday to open the iy She was a beautiful girl, with clear blue 8 placed at equal distances from a tall, light-colo1 ‘nose, Which was pale when 1n repose, but flushed | delicately when she was in tears. Her ripe and ruddy French mouth opened and closed readily when she was enzaged in conversation, and her | white and beautiful shoulders, ever and anon, while she talked, humped themselves like a hired | man on his way to dinner. She had, also, tresses of hatr of that peculiar | Titian variety which 1s supposed to go with | freckles and a high temper. ‘The historian says that her hair looked black as it divided over her fair torebead and bung back across her shapely head, Dut at night, as 11 was draped across the | richly carved fraine of the au revoir where the fire Nght of the Norman Hose company could play upon 1t, you would have thought tt a bright and | inflammatory red. Charlotte Corday was tall and gracetul, and when her elastic step and herote feet followed the light measure of some gay French tune at an October pumpkin peeling, she could dance on for hours without jarring the glassin the windows very much. Her costume was simple and did not cost a great deal, It consisted of a Normandy cap made of cheese cloth in shape like the tail of a setting hen, and trimmed in front with real French lace trom the ten-cent counter. Her dress was all-wool de Jaine with a pin stripe in 1t and trimmed with the sane, Her other dresses were different. Her ‘stockings were tall and slender as seen hanging on. ‘the woman clothes line at Caen, but her heart was guy and happy as the day was fong. Charlotte Corday was one of @ large family | whose descendants were called Corduroy, They | Were the instigators of a style of road that has done more to shorten the spinal column and_ jolt the jejunum into chaos that any other line of in- Venitons throughout the United States, Charlotte Corday had a voice which accom. | pamled her in all her rambles, and tt is said that ‘t was Very musical and sounded first rate, Her parents were poor, so she had very few advantages as will be noticed at once by the care- ful student who reads her MSS. to-day and notices Where she has trequently spelled cabbage with a CS no Ce ars tongue pesieree She took a great Interest in politics, but aid not Indorse the administration. She felt more espe- cially bitter toward a gentieman named Marat, Who was rather literary in his habits, and who | also acted asa kind of chairman of the national central committee. To his other work he had also added the tedious and exhausting task of picking | out People and indorsing them as suitable persons jo headed. Being a journalist, he had to | write hard all the evening to get the hook full of | Ted-hot political editarial copy, and then w! he | should hare gone to bed and to he had to | take the directory an ‘out enough’ people f | a mess the following day. s oe |, In this way Marat was kept very busy, with the | foreman on his heels all day and the guillotine on his heels all night, and every man was afraid to ‘see the deputy suerif! coming for fear he had a | subpoena for him. It was ‘no unusual thing in | those days for a ‘Frenchman to turn off the gas | and go to bed, only to find his shirt collarsall bleody where the guillotine had banged his hair Just above his Adam’s apple in the morning. ‘Those were indeed skirmishing times, 4s M. de Lamartine, a humorous writer of France, has so truly said. No man {elt perfectly safe when he saw Marat at a sociable or acaucus. It: sim- possible to tell whether he had come to w. .e the Uhing up for his paper or pick out some more peo- pie to be killed by the administration. They got so that Marat couid induce any of them to sub- | Seribe for his paper, and people advertised in his columns for things they did not want in order to show that they felt pertectly friendly toward him. It was at this time that Charlotte Corday called one trorning at the apartments of Mr. Marat with a view lo assassinating him, She sent in word that @ young lady from Caen de=fred to see Mr. Marat forthe purpose of paying her subscription. She Was toid that the editor was taking a bath, ‘She laug! @ cold, incredulous langh, for she had seen a great. many French journalists and. whee one of them sent wonl to her that he was Dall she coutd 111 repress a low, gurgling laugh, Finally she was admitted to bis’ private apart- ments, Where he was indeed In the bath with an oid tabte cloth thrown over him, engaged in writ- Ing a scathing criticism on the custom of summer- fallowing old buckwheat lands and sowing Swed- | Ish turnips on thern in July, when the country was | so crowded for cemetery room. |, Charlotte apologized for disturbing the great | fournalist at such atime, and remarking ‘that we Were having rather 4 backwanl spring produced & short stab-knife with Which she cut & large over: | coat button-hole in the able journalist's thorax. | | She then passed into the office and leaving word | » her paper stopped she went to the execu- Moner, where she lett an order for him to call ber for the 7:30 execution. ranma H | International Chess Tournament. | A PROPOSED CONTEST TO DECIDE THE CHAMPIONSHIP OF THE COURT. | From the New York World.

WALLIDAY'S DESIRE TO HAVE THEI BROTHER BURIED BESIDE THEM—THE SAD STORY OF THESE TWO AMERICAN GIRLS WHO MARRIED FRENCHMEN OF TITLE. From the New York World, Jan. 9th. ‘The remains of Ben. Halliday, Jr., son of the ‘once millionaire owner of the overland stage route, still lay In the recetving vault in the rural ceme- tery at White Plains yesterday. The elder Halli- day 1s in Washington, and it 1s understood 1s very much grieved that Mr. Garrett Roach woutd not allow the body of his son to be interred in the ‘Yault beneath the chapel at Ophir Farm, together ‘with the other members of the family. Mr. Chas. Ollie, who brought the body on from Washington, ‘was in communication with Mr. Halliday yester- ay. The latter 1s very anxious to have all the family buried in one place. If a satisfactory set- tlement cannot be made with Mr. Roach, he will Duy a lot in White Plains cemetery and reinove all the remains there. Ophir farm has been allowed to go very much to decay sinee the Halilday famtiy lettit. Mr. Roach as never occupied the inagnificent stone residence since he owned it. ‘The faria contains about one thousand two hundred acres, all of which was Kept in a hich state of cultivation when Mr. Halll day lived there. Now only about four hundred acres are used, and the houses and chapel show many signs of neglect. Mr. Join Roach Visited the farm dcing the past autumn and went all over the house and grounds. He then said that he would probably never sce the place again, and so wanted fo take a good look at it. It 1s sald to have cost Mr. Halliday upwards of a million dollars, and ‘Was meant to be the “‘show place” of America. ‘The other members of the family whose bodies Mein the littie chapel were Mrs, Halliday, another son and her two daughters, the Baroness de Bussi- ere and the Comtesse de ’Pourtales. These two irls were of the most. beautiful Americans Who ve visited Paris. ‘They were taken there b} ‘their mother when Mr. Halliday was a very. ricl man, The elder married the Comte de Poti ‘member of a distinguished French family, and & few years afterwards Pauline, the younger, mar ried the young Baron de Busslere, whose ‘father ‘was, and stills, a rich banker in the French capl- tal.’ Mr. and Mrs. Halliday were sald to have op- posed both marriages, but the girls persisted, ‘The lives of both were very unhappy—so much so that when thelr mother died_she stipulated in. her Will that, if any of her grandchildrem married a foreigner, the property left tohim or to her should be forfeited to the estate. Mme, de Pourtales died in a sleeping-car some ten or twelve years ago while on her way to New York from Call- fornia, Her death was very sudden, and many stories were current at the time concerning It. She left two or three children, who are with their Tather’s family in France. ie Pourtaies was afterwards a member of the French legation to this country. While here he married en secondes noces the divorced wife of Mr. John Beecher, thiseity. rs. Beecher, 1t will be remembered’ by many in New York, was a South Carolina girl, a very great beauty, and daughter of a former Keeper of the penitentiary at Columbia. She somehow drifted to New York shortly after the war and was net_and married by Mr. Beecher, at that time a well-known merchant. After a flam~ boyant career Mrs. Beecher followed Mr. Lloyd Phoenix, a well-known yachtsman, as he was mak- ing calls in Madison avenue one day, and shot at hifa Just as he rang the doorbell of a house on that thoroughfare. “The aim was, fortunately, bad, and Mr. Phoenix was wounded Dut slightly th the ear, She then jeft the city, and the next heard of her was the marriage to Pourtales, The couple went to France after thelr marriage and Pourtales Was sent Into obscurity on a mission to China and Japan. A year or so aoa report reached this city that the second Mme. de Pourtales had, in ac- cordance with a peculizr custom of the country, | been executed by an order of the mikado of Japan and her body cut to pieces. This story, however, ‘Was subsequently contradicted by a letter from Mme. de Pourtales herseit. ‘The uphappy result of Mme. Pauline’s marriage to De Bussiere was a matter of current report 10 before her death at the New York hotel, which occurred some eight years ago. She had been that summer With her husband atTrouville, and after @ more serious quarrel than the ordinary took passage for home on a French steamer and died within two days after reaching this port. She | Was buried from St. Ann's church, and the body laced beside that of her mother, sister and Srother in the chapel av Ophir Far Mr. Halle day, the elder, married a second time, and 13 now living in Washingion. ‘The Baroness de Busstere left one ehitd, now a boy of twelve or four teen.

HOW WOMEN SHOULD ACT WHEN THEIR CLOTHING 18 IN FLAMES. Dr. John Marshall, F. R. 8., writes as follows: A girl or woman who meets with this accident (of setting fire to her clothes) should immediately Ite down on the floor, and so any one whogoesto her assistance should instantly, if she still be make her le down, or, if needful, throw her down {nto a Horizontal’ position and keep her in it. Sparks fly upwards and flames ascend. ignition from below ascends with great rapidity, and, as a result well known to experts, tae fatality of dis- figurement in these lamentable cases is due to the burns inflicted about the body, neck, face and head, and not to tnjurtes of the lower limbs. Now the very moment that the person whose clothes are on fire fs 1n a horizontal position on a flat surface the flames will still ascend, Dut only the air and not the flames encircle thelr victim. ‘Time is thus gained for further action, and in sucha crisis na fight against a fire a’few seconds are precious, nay priceless. Once in & prone, position, the person 0 afficted may crawl to a bell-pull or to a door, 80 as to clutch at one or open the other to obtain heip. The draught trom an open door into the room would serve to blow the flames, if any, from the boay; or, again, still crawling, the’ sufferer may ‘be Able to‘secure a rug or tablecloth, or Other articles at hand, to smother any ‘re. maining flames, for as’soon as the horizontal position is assunted, they have no longer much to teed upon, and may’elther go out, as the phrase 1s, or may accidentally or intentionally be éxuin guished as the person rollsor moves upon the floor. Tn any case, not only 1s the time gained, but the injury inflictedis minimized. In the event of the conditions not being self-help, but assistance from another, if 1t be a man that comes to the rescue, having first or instantly thrown the girl or oman down, it Iseasy to take off his coat and stife the Giminished flames with this or some other sult- able covering, the flames playing upward now from the lower limbs or the fower part of the body of the prostrate fellow-creature. Itit be a woman that rushes to give aid, this last-named condition Suggests that the safer mode of rendering it is to approach the sufferer by the head and filug some. thing over the lower part of the body, for fear of setting fire to herself. If, in these fearful ‘accidents, the horizontal po- sitin be assumed or enforced, there could be, in short, comparative immunity ‘and limited. injir If not, what must happen? ‘The fire will mount; the flames (and it isthese which wilido the injury) will envelop the body inside and outside the clothes, and will reach the neck and head, and then, indeed, they may be, smothered by. 8 coat or Tapper orrug, While the vict frightful figured or doomed to perish, PROFESSOR SUMNER'S OBJECTIONS TO THE DOCTRINES OP KARL MARK. Professor Sumner, of Yale, one of the ablest and most noteworty of American free traders, in the January number of the Popular Science Monthly takes issue with the doctrine laid down by Karl Marx, that “an accumulation of wealth at one pole of society indicates an accumulationof misery and overwork at the other.” He believes that the fact that there are wealthy men in England, France and the United States to-day is no evidence that there must be poor men here; that the riches of the rich are perfectly consistent with a high condition of wealth of all, down to the last. fie does not deny that a soctety that consists of the two extreme classes only—the very rich and the ery poor—is in an unsound and unhealthy condi- ‘ton, but he goes further than his premises would. seem to warrant, for he lays down this propost- jon: “It ts the tendency of all social burdens to crush out the middle class and to force the society into an fanization Of only two classes, one at each social extreme.” In early Rome, he says, it was plainly the pressure of military duty and taxes that was con- stantly developing two classes, debtors and cred. Hore, while later, when the ‘booty taken by em- erors, proconsuls and freedmen favorites, and by he sovereign city, was shi through with the proletariat of the city, the l a slavery worked together to divide the Romans into two classes. “The plundet of the provinces intensified the wealth of the wealthy. ‘The lar- (osed sig capa and proletarianized the lace. But this was not all. “The Christian churc! of the fourth and irth centuries” he says, “by its indiscriminate almsgiving on a large scale, helped on the degeneration of the Roman state.” Prof, sSumner’s paper is, in fact, a plea for the middle class, In conclusion, he says of it: “Iv is the first organization of human soctety that every has existed based on rights, By virtne Of its own institutions it now ee itself on and stands open to revision and correction when- ever, on sober and rational grounds, revision can be shown to be necessary to guarantee the rights of any one.

In September, 1885, Lawrence Krug, a Chicago printer, married a Mrs, Heidelmeyer, who had a daughter named Lucy. Krug at once insured his wite’s life for $1,000, and while they were on their wedding tour in New York the woman died. Krug married again before coming home. In a few months the second wife, whose life had also been insured, likewise died. ‘Two months after her death he married Mrs. Albertina Rohr, who was forty-six years old, nine years older than Krug. is Was in September last. Six weeks later she Wasattacked with typhoid fever and died. The last Mrs. Krug was also insured. A few daysago Lucy Heidelmeyer, daughter of Krug’s first wit whose lite Krug had not neglected to have insured in his favor, also died, and the funeral was held yesterday, Asit was leaving Krug’s house, 553 Larrabee street, Chicago, it was stopped by’ the Police, who have come to the conclusion that this remarkable series of deaths in the Krug family ought to be investigated.
