What Belden Thought of When He Was Floating from Air Hole to Air Hole. Galena, TIL, Special to the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Merrick Belden, of Hanover, this county, who walked into an air hole in the Mississippi night before last while returning home from chop- ping wood, and was mysteriously saved while his companion, Chas. Bailey, a farmer of Sand Prairie, was drowned, related to the Globe-Dem- ocrat correspondent to-day his horrible experi- ence under the ice, and the circumstances at- tending his reseue. “Bailey and myself,” said he, were walking at a fair pace on the ice in the evening on our way home from one of the islands where we had been chopping wood. The moon had not yet risen, and we were busily engaged in con- versation. Suddenly Bailey, who was a foot or two in advance of me, uttered a cry. there was a quick splash of water, and before Tcould save myself we were both in the air hole together. My friend tried hard to clutch the ice so as to prevent himself from being hauled under by the current, but was unsuccessful, and disap- peared in an instant, As for myself, I suc- ceeded in grasping the edge of the ice, and held on for about the space of a minute, I should judge. making a superhuman effort to haul myself to the surface, But the ice, which was thin, gave way, and I was drawn under the water and whirled along, my head and body seraping against the under sur- face of the ice. My sensations for an in- stant were horrible, but these feelings were superseded by a trance-like state, which was like going into a sweet sleep, All at once L experienced a sudden jerk, which roused me from my lethargy, and opening my eyes, I found myself floundering in another and mach larger air hole than the one into which I had fallen. Iclutched madly at the edge of the ice and cried loudly for help. The current, which was very sift, carried me to the lower edge of | the hole. and, throwing my arms out onto the | ice, I succeeded in holding on and bracing m self until I was hauled out by John Connolly, a fislterman, who heard my cry for help. I éan- not tell how long I was under water, but the of 300 feet from where I first fell in. I kept my mouth closed ail the time, and when taken out the blood was issuing from my nose and ears, I wish I was able to explain to you the horrors I experienced the first few seconds I was being whirled along under the ice, but words cannot express my sensations, I can only tell you that I lived my life over in that brief period, and thet I would not go through the same e: perience again for a id in the universe.

The Interesting Rocollections of a Wo- man Who Knew Them in Her Youth. An interesting view of the private life and personal characteristics of Gen, and Mrs, Washington is contained in a letter printed in the New York Tribune of Sunday. The letter was written in 1864 by Mrs. John M. Bowers to Mrs. Edward Clarke, and is made public through the courtesy of H. J. Morton. The letter is as follows: My earliest recol- lection of General Washington was in the spring of 1781, when a jackettstown, N. J. Although but three years of age at that time.

When my mother returned to the parlor the general alluded to what had occurred in her absence, saying: “The little jade wished to know how the old people escaped from the bottle, and before T had time to reply to her question she had anticipated me by saying, ‘I guess, general, they knocked off the neck.” Were any proof ranting to illustrate the | reverence inspired by the dignity and superi- ority of the presence ot the general I might | cite an anecdote of a Mrs. Graffe—an ignorant woman, a foreigner by birth, an inveterate tory. who resided near my mother.

Anthony Comstock has served notice upon A. B, de Frece, manager of the German hos- pital fair, now in progress in New York, that he will be arrested unless he causes the re- moval from the American institute hall of Robert Tobernitz’ statue of Hermes. Hermes, in pure Adamitic costume, is seen resting on a rock. his right elbow reclining on | the caduceus, his left arm drooping toward the ground, His head is bowed upon his breast, while his fine Greek features wear a delightful, | voluptuous expression, and his bere limbs are stretched out like those of a man who has fin- ished his day’s work. Mr, dg Frece said: “On | Monday Capt. Granner, from the 67th-street station-house, came tome and said that the officers of Mr. Comstock’s society had made j complaint to him on account of that frivolous statue being exposed in the hall. The captain said that the officers wanted to have the art object removed voluntarily, or else they would take the other steps—namely, to get a warrant of arrest against me for violating the law. I! was confounded, and said to the captain that | I would consult with the members of the fair ommittee, I at once called a meeting, at which Messrs. Henry Villard, Carl Schurz and Mr. Kuttroff we present. We decided not to} remove the statue, which is a valuable art ob- ject. and to await the action of Mr. Comstock. | In the meantime Lam ready to be arrested, having ample bail at hand whon the officers appear.” a ee A Blind Man as a Detective. From the Boston Transcript. A blind man has to depend a great deal upon the honesty of humanity, andit is tohumanity’s credit that the confidence is not often betrayed. There was a case of this sort of rascality, how- ever, in the city some time ago, and the rascal was happily rebuked. There used to be a« young biind man who sold cigars ata little stand on Winter street and thereabouts. Ordi- narily the sales were of single cigars or small packages of cigarettes, and the dealer being expert in the handling of coins, had no difii- cuity in making change, Sometimes paper monet would be given him, and then the blind man had to trust the honor of his patrons not to give him counterfeits. One day a men came to him who wanted to buy a lot of cigars, and offered a five-dollar note in payment. The blind man trusted his honesty, took the five- dollar bill. and gave what change was due in silver. The bill proved tobe counterfeit, Some time afterward the swindler, feeling secure in the inability of the dealer to identify him, came back to the blind man’s stand and bought a cigar. “I should think,” he said nonchalantly to the dealer, “that you'd sometimes have counterfeit money passed on you.” “Oh, no,” said the dealer, “nobody would impose on @ poor blind man like me.” “So?” said the sharper. His victim had thrown him off his guard. ‘Evidently,’ thought, “the blind man succeeded in passing the bill, and nobody discovered that it was bad till it got into the third or fourth man’s hands, a chance to get him again.” Of course,” said the sharper again, aloud, “nobody would come such a game on you. By the way, I got a lot of cigars of you awhile ago ere good. Gotany more of the same The blind man got up like a flash and seized him by the erms. so von're the man that passed the counter- 5 bill on me, are your” he exclaimed. swindler, who was promptly marched off to the station, where quite a supply of counterfeit money was found on his person, A Lincoln lefield’s Remiuiser m of Lincoln & Herndon divided fees necdote. | without taking any receipts or making any en- | tries on books, | $5,000 as a fe. and 6: One day Mr. Lincoln received in a railroad case.

Mra, Eurecka Storey, relict of Wilbur §. Sto- rey, editor, publisher and proprietor of the Chicago Times, is at the Windsor, where for a fortnight or more she has been the recipient of all manner of social attentions, She came here to decide upon a monument for her hus- band’s grave, and the character of ber pur- chase has brought representatives from all parts of the world. She has nad drawings, cuts and engravings to select from, and not a few sculptors have sent miniature columus ip a variety of quarried stone. Her faucy runs to shafts, and as the order now stands the mem- ory of the late Mr, Storey will be perpetuated by a column of red granite as near the altitude of the obelisk as it canbe quarried. At the age of twenty-two Mis. Storey was a widow and as soon’ as her deop mourning w laid aside she bought a Russian and some fine horses and amused self on the boulevard. Her splendid hor: womanship won the fancy of the journalist, then at the head of the most powerful organ in the west, and for more than half a year he watched the fearless and beautiful rider and waited for an introduction. Jadge Trumbull brought them together, and when a year later they were married Mr. Storey had his wife’s in- st protected by an ante-nuptial contract, amounting to something like an equivalent to halt a miliion dollars, His wedding gift was a superb set of pearls, including brooch, brace- lets, hair and corsage ornaments, and a necklace with pendants of oricutal de and workmanship. They were as devoted as only lovers can be, and neither ever seen in public without the other, Every day Mrs. Storey drove down to the Times building and remained with her husband in his private office from 11 till 3 o'clock, They made re- peated trips abroad, and one of the many ex- travagances of the devoted editor was his pur- chase of jewels and handkerchiefs. He was anxious that she should have one quart of pre- cious stones, and kept on buying till the quart- shaped casket was filled, which to-day is a for- tune initself, Hecouid not bear to see her use anything but lace handkerehiefs, and one season he ordered from a single Freuch manu- facturer not one but thirty dozen, to be woven in the piece, So rich and beautiful were these | filmy napkins of precious loom that a woman was hired to do nothing but to wash and hand- dry them They filled a cedar chest to the lid, and were so profusely sprinkled with oil of roses that the mere use of one of them filled whatever room or apartment she entered with an atmosphere of Oriental deliciousness. Everybody who has ever been in Chicago knows about the marble castle which he attempted to build for her, The four walls und roof represent an investment of 2400,000. The lodge was finished, some few hundred feet of garden laid out, and a conser- vatory started in Which alone the expenditure amounted to 225.000. ‘Ihe palace proved to be his mansoleum, for the roof was scarcely placed when the intellect of the once poweriul editor gave away, and he died in the chair in which be had lain senseless and almost motion- less for more thana year. At his death Mra, Storey made a vow never to marry again, She lives quietiy at home with her mother, a lovely and aristocratic old lady, and during the season goes to Saratoga. cers crete?
