LOUIS PHlLIPPE IN ExILr.-I re-
member 10 have met in Switzerland, at
a pretty villa of lady formed TO grace,
adorn, and elevate the circle of her
family and friends, of which she was
the centre, an ingenious, able and de-
light(ul old Swiss gentleman, NJ. De
BonStetten. Endowed with an admi-
rahle memory, enriched by great ac-
quirements, and by claSsica! and histor-
zeal knowledge. this most agreeable
and wel-inlormed man was received
with delight into the best circles OF Eu-
rope, and never failed 10 enliven and
enchant all who listened TO him. |
connect his name with that portion Of
The life of Louis Philippe, because he
related 10 me two anecdotes of the sub
ject OF this sketch which may be relied
on, and which are worth preserving.
Whilst at Hamburger on one occasion,
an old refugee, bad specimen of a
good race, openly insulted him, and,
accosting him in the public streets, de-
manded, .'What right the son Of re-
gicide had To meet the victims of his
fathers a,rocious conduct, and why he
did not hide his head in ohscurily in
The dusr?" The young duke, who was
unprepared for this unprlncipled and
ungenllemanly attack, fell back few
PAGES. regarded his adversary with
look of stern dignity and then said
L" Sir, il | have either offended or iu-
iured you, am prepared TO give you
satisfaction; but if | have done nei-
Their what will you one day think Of
yourself for having insulled in a for
eign land a prince of fa!lea fortunes,
aud an honest and an independent
young MANI" The wretched creature
who had so insuied him stole off 10 his
hiding place; whilst some standers-hy,
who had understoGc the colloquy, APP
plauded the young and courageous ex-
lie.
On another occasion, at Hamburgh.
The young Duke was appealed 10 Tor re-
lief by a former dependent on the
bounty of his father, "Egalite," but
who had rushed lIom Paris TO save his
lie, and had arrived at the city in ques-
ton; the duke explained to him that
his means were so limited, and his ex-
pectaiions of assistance so scanty that
he really had not the power of doing
all he could desire for one whom his
father aud mother and mother had re-
glrded with respect and pity. but"
added The duke, Il have tour louis left,

FooT RACE FOR 100 SovEREIGNs
For some time past a match has been
pending between those celebrated run
ners James Byron and Il. Jackson,
better known as the American Deer.
Ii was appointed to come off yesterday
afternoon on the cricket ground al the
Beehive Tavern, near the Surrey Zoo
logical Gardens Notwithstanding the
uniavorable weather considerable
number of persons had assembled
Shortly before four o'clock the cum
petilors made their appearance, the bel
Ting, however, was decidedly in favor
of Byron, and at four O'Clock the race
commenced, Byron taking the lead,
which he kept considerably in advance
until nearly three fourths Of the whole
distance had been accomplished, when
Jackson truly proved his claim TO the
patronymic of the American Deer,
bounding, like that animal, with the
greatest agility, until he succeeded in
passing his opponent, and winning in
gallant style by upwards of 90 yards
The competitors ran twice round the
ground, the distance being mile, and
which was performed in 4 minutes and
SO seconds by the winner. Both men
ran well, and, notwithstanding the
swiftness Of their pace, were in good
wind, and but little distressed-the
American Deer was SO little affected as
TO appear capable of repeating his task
Immediately; md eed, it was acknowl-
edged by all pres en-, that so excellent
foot rice had not been witnessed for
some time.

lishman again, in shrill treble, am
ounting almost to a shrek. The little
fellow had really popped ball through

made sudden circnmbendlbus, and he
just saw his game fall! as he was car
ried over hill and out of view Of eve

the FIRST COW he saw was his, and once
again he more vehemently reiterated
ia feminine falseito, 'That's my GOVT"
Joe by this time was stripping the
skin from the animal, and slashing a.
way with his butcher knife, he replied
--"lIow you say?-wat make him you

whether or not to get into a rage, and
jus. as he said again ia milder tone,
IL tell you that's my cow" up rode
"Dony the great" on his big mule,
with his arms and legs flying like the
limbs OF a Dashboard man pulled into
rapid action by a string, exclalming
CHATS my calf"
That's a BULL" said John Kelly,
who came riding up to see the butcher
ing just at the same moment. Dolly
the Great was famous fellow, the or
nilhoIogist Of the party, considered 10
be somewhat Eighty in his notions,
and emphatically pronounced by Col.
Crockett TO be "a Bird" Dolly had
killed a calf somewhere but, like the
t.nglishman, he couldn't find ii. John
Kelly was full private in the 4th in
fanlry, all the way from Jefferson Bar
racks, Missouri, and body guard TO his
commanding officer, Lieut.. Sid. Smith,
as true-hearied and nohle-spiriied q
gentleman as ever added grace and fas-
cination to the trade of arms. John
Kelly shall flourish under his proper
cognomen, as none else could become
his character better, and, in fact, the
attention of christening in the crowd
was never accorded 10 him. That's a
bulli" said John Kelly.
Some two weeks before this, Kaw
Indian had attempted 10 strike up a
trade with John, the red chap beiug in
possession Of a dragoon's sword that he
wanted to dispose Of In this after
noon's hunt Kelly thought of the
sword, as he sat on his mule and saw a
hundred buff'lloes put to route by a
single horseman.
"By the powers, Lieutenant" said
John Kelly, sit fellow only had that
red devils sword, now, how he could
rush in among the beasts and hew them
down! Oh, Molly Mallory! but I'd
like To be cutting and slashing among
them!"
A portion OF these animals, escsp-
ing from the hunters, rushed very near
and right across The path of our NOV
ing camp, soaring the mules into phren-
sy, and causing some fine horses to
dar, off in their company, two of
which we never recovered. A cow
and calf were chased 10 the rivers
brink, and in they plunged. wading
and swimming, as the depth of the wa
ter allowed them, to the opposite shore
AT this point the Platte was a mile and
a half wide, one vast though shallow
sheet of water, with not an Island to be
seen, or stick of timber upon its
banks.

Supposed Irmce-A Remarkable
CdSe.--About the first of February, man
named Vim. Francis, while in public
house in London, was seized with vio-
lent palpilallon OF The heart, and dropped
down almost Instantly. A surgeon was
called, who pronounced him 10 be quite
dead, and left him. Another physician
was called, who succeeded in bleeding
him, but could not restore anmanon. Ii
was decided 10 have post moriem ex-
animation, and verdict was rendered ac-
cordingly. But on Sunday, two days
having elapsed, the countenance gradually
received its natural color, and the chillness
Of death gave way TO slight warmth.
Two surgeons were called in, and on
opening the eyes, they did not appear as
if set in death, but the surgeons express
ed no confident opinion. The body was
taken out Of the coffin and placed on
bed. A later number Of the paper con.
tanning the above statement, says: ut

charged with the duty OF deyising some
mode of conducting the canal. upon a plan
less costly than that originally adopted,
that his project embraced three feeders fcr
the summit level, TO wit the Calumet
lj4 miles long, the Du Page Il miles,
and the Des PLANES by side cut OF 200
or 800 leet The inferior levels were TO be
supplied by the lower Du Page upon the
Juliet level; the kankakee upon the
Dresden level, and the lower Fox river
upon the Ottawa level.
In reference to the lower levels, there
appeared TO be no ground for experimenting
deficiency in the supply Of water but
in the case Of the summit level, we did not
feel such an entire degree of confidence.
Our attention, therefore, we turned in tina.
direction, and with the concurrence of The
acting commissioner and the engineer Of
the canal, we thought it expedient to cause
an additional feeder to be traced, 10 wit
one from the Fox river at Aurora, across
w tIlc SUMMIT lCNtl VI NC CdHdl, anu III
ersecling it at point three miles east Of
Lockport.
line Of levels had been run from the
valley Of the Fox, to that of the Du Page,
in the early part of the season Of 1913
by which the elevation of the intervening
country, and the entire praciicabii,y Of
constructing feeder had been ascertain
ed; the surveys, however, which were
made at that time, were not sufficiently
minute TO admit of even an approximate
estimate Of the cost of the line, and as
this seemed 10 us very desirable, the en-
gineer Of the canal undertook after our ar
rival to trace the line with sufficient care,
TO enable him to compute the probable
cost of the feeder. Neither time nor HE
season Of the year admitted Of an exact
location: this, in fact, did not appear me-
cessary or expedient; but ample inlorma-
ton was elected to determine all the es-
senlial features Of the feeder. The enlira
fall from the Fox to the summit level was
asceriaincd to be about AZ feet, and tile
elevation OF the intervening ground in no
place to exceed Is feet, through prairie
lands with a soil composed Of loan and
probably some clay; the length of the
feeder from the Fox river to the Da Page
is about lwenty-four miles; at the Du
Page it unites with the feeder, from thai
stream to the summit level as previously
traced, making the entire length Of the
feeder, from the Fox river to the canal
nearly thirty-two miles, with some 40
feet of lockage this feeder like all the
others, except the side cut from the Des
PLANES, and the short cut Of a quarter of
mile at the lower Du Page is designed
to be navlgable with section OF 10 fee:
