''Happy Lord Melville he was able to
enrich you"
''He was in truth very happy" contin-
ued Madam de Ia Tour, land he proved to
me very clearly that since my inelinations
were honorable, this marriage, which I
looked upon as very foolish act, was the
most reasonable thing in the world. He was
rich beyond my desires.
''He could never spend his income, so
that he had no need of new possessions; and
he thought very justly that gratitude would
attach to him woman whose fortune he
would make. He never repented having
married French woman.
81 intrusted myself to that noble lord for
the care of my fortune, and assisted him
in his last days. When he died, he left me
all his property, and then made myself an
oath never to marry any one except the
man who aided me in the most miserable
moment of my life.
''Ingrate % added Madam de la Tour,
giving her hand to her husband, who yet
came no nearer to her who wished TO love
and enrich him.
''But. sir, do you never go into the
world Do you not attend shows and
concerts ? All if I had known your
name.''
So saying, the new bride detached from
her neck a collar of rubies, and drew from
small bag of silk, which was attached to
it crown, of hundred sous, set in gold.
''This is the very one," said she, put
ting it into Frederic's hands. ''At the sight
of this crown, I was furnished with suffi-
Gent bread to support me till the next day,
and also obtained credit for few hours.
The next day things were so arranged that

Melville would have enriched you in secret
She would have returned to England, where

AN INCIDENT.


The gallant and gifted General Thomas
Francis Meagher, now in the field under the
flag of his adopted country, relates an Incl
dent which shows the patriotism of the
Catholic clergy in this momentous struggle.
The unctious humor of Meagher in telling
the story gives it more than half its charm
Very early in the war Governor Sprague sent
here two Rhode Island regiments, which
soon became famous for their fine appear
ance, discipline and decorum. Attached to
one of these was a young priest, the head of
a large congregation in Providence, and
learned and loyal man. He was known as
Father Tom" by the boys, and in his &C.
casional visits to Washington soon became
a general favorite. He was believer in
Meagher, and loved to converse with the or
ator-hero. One evening while Meagher was
lying i'll at the National Hotel, in this city,
Father Tom entered the room of his friend,
and was presented to the well-known Alexan-
der Dimitry. who. although personally
stranger to the Irish chaplain, was at once
remembered as a man of great genius and
greater eccentricity. Dimitry had just been
recalled from Central America, to which
country he had been sent as American min
lister by Mr.. Buchanan's patriotic Admin
istra:ion; and as Mr.. D. was not only cit
izen of New Orleans and furious pro-
slaveryite, but an explaceman, he was in no
complacent mood. An earnest Catholic
himself, his first greeting to Father Tom was
a grunt of disapprobation at seeing him,
Catholic priest, in the yankee uniform
81 am Mortified, sir" said the learned seces-
sionist, t'that you should dishonor your
Church by wearing the livery of the op
pressor of the South-the miserable Lincoln,
who, instead of walking on all fours, is per-
mitted by Divine Providence to stand ON
two legs, as if to caricature humanity"
"Oh, Mr.. Dimitry," responded Father Tom,
eve will not quarrel about personal matters.

imbecile, James Buchanan, who produced
the war, and whose wages you took" elm

pulling off his glove and finging it in Dim
itry's face, "there is my pledge that carry
brave heart under my rosary, and if you
are not coward you will take it up and let
me prove it to you" After waiting for a re-
spouse from the astounded blusterer, Father
Tom bid General Meagher good night and
left the room. In few days the inguist,
philosopher, diplomat, and professor, shook
the dust of Washington from his feet, and

BERDAN,s sHARP-sHooTERs.

This corps turns out, as was expected,
to be one of the most valuable arms of our
service. The exploits of the men before
Yorktown are truly marvellous, and have al
ready put to flight a pet theory of Southern
braggarts, that Northern men can't shoot.
Such craftsmanship as is displyed by these
sharp-shooters was never heard of before
not to speak of the Southern States-in the
world itself. While about the best shoot
ing that has been done on the battle-f field,
outside of America, is one man killed for
every eight hundred bullets fired, Colonel
Berdan's men, at any distance that they can
sight man with their telescope rifles, give
an account of at least every other one. At
a thousand yards-which is nearly three
ffths of a mile-the rebels have now such
wholesome fear of these terrible marks
men, that they dare not show their heads.
Parties of FIVE or ten are able to keep gun
upon distant battery perfectly silent, pick
ing off the gunners as fast as they appear.
Colonel Berdan has already been compliment
ted in general orders, and his men are kept
constantly in the advance. One of the most
noted shots is Californian, named Head,
an old trapper and miner. He is said to be
worth $780, in money, which he has de-
posted in Philadelphia bank. TO be distrib-
uted, if he should fall, among the widows
and orphans of his regiment. It was he who
made the great shot at the white shirt bo-
som of a rebel officer, at nearly a mile, kill
ing him instantly.
The target rifle which has produced the
crack shots of Colonel Berdan's regiment,
is very peculiar instrument. 1t is made
with an increasing twist; it has false muz
zle-a continuance which preserves the fine,
true edge of the real mHzzle from wear in
the act of loading; the barrel is of steel; the
balls are made of compressed lead, and the
weapon is fitted with telescope of such
power that at four hundred yards it is posi-
bic to distinguish the color of mans eyes.
This rifle does execution at distance of more
than thousand yards; and Col. Berdan has
in his regiment no man who cannot kill an
enemy with at least two out Of every three
shots, at the distance of quarter of nile.
These are the men who now are teaching
the rebels severe lesson before Yorktown.
A party of thirty such shots can pick off
every man from battery of light artillery
in one minute. at distance of nearly half
a mile.-N y. Post.

STATISTICS OF HUMAN LIFE.-The total
number of human beings on earth is now
computed in round numbers at zoo, OOO,-
900. They speak 3 1904 now known tongues.

ereeds are preached. The average age of
life is $50 years. One-fourth of the born
die befoEe they reach the age of years,
and .ne half before the 18th year. Out of
1G0 persons, only six reach the age of so
years and upward, while only one in 1000
reaches the age of 100 years. Out of 500,
only one attains the age of 80 years. Out

0O0, 600 die annually, 1000 daily, $3.50

one every second. The loss is, however,
balanced by the gain in new births: Tall
men are supposed to live longer than short

portionately than men till their 50th year,
afterward less so. Marriages are in proper.

One fourth of men are capable of bearing

Death of the ssBearded woman.v

Julia Pastrana, the bearded Woman"
who was exhibited for some time at Bar
NUNS Museum, and subsequently in vari-
Gus parts of this country and Europe, died
in Moscow, in 1860. A London paper gives
the following strange particulars of her
posthumous career:
On the following day she was embalmed
by her medical adviser at the request of her
husband, on the understanding that she
should be his property, he paying the ex-
pense of the process of embalming. A dis
pute arose subsequently, as to his right to the
body, which rendered it necessary for him
to produce the marriage certificate, to fetch
which he went to America, and having trans
mitted the necessary document to his agent,
he died in New York. The body of the
nondescript thus fell into the hands of his
agent, and after being shut up for two years,
it is now exhibiting at the Burlington Gal
lery, Piccadilly. The figure is dressed in
the ordinary exhibition costume, worked by
her, and used during her life, and her bust,
face, and arms present pretty much the ap-
pearance of well-stuffed animal. The en-
balming is effected by injecting fluid at
an opening In the chest. The limbs are
plump and round as in life, with the excep-
ton of the fingers, which are somewhat
shriveled, and-as specimen of the art of
preserving human body-Julia Pastrana
is as great curiosity now as she was when
alive. Her child, which lived thirty six
hours, is also exhibited; its fiat nose and
thick hair on the head give it an appearance
which is most unpleasant to contemplate
