after being wounded, was himself. made
prisoner, and as such guillotined by the re.

and three infant sons, unacquainted with the
cruel fate of persons so near and so dear
to her, had prepared, with the last louis
dor she possessed, small feast for their
return, expecting them with an anxiety more
easily imagined than expressed.
The lamented Duke d'Enghein dispatched
his servant to her, dressed like French dra.

it was the Marquis desire that she would

to repose awhile after the fatigues of the

by the Marquis to attend her on her journey.
Arrived in Holland, the Dukes servant said
that he had heard from friends that lhe Mar

brothers. in. law, to return to France, and was
enabled to remit to her, through secret chan
nels, yearly sum of one hundred louis d'ors,
though not daring to write to her, for fear of
exposing himself For four years the Duke
regularly sent the sum and it was not till
the death of the servant at Hamburg, in
1896, that the Marchioness knew she was
widow, and had to mourn two sons and a
brother but, at the same time, that she owed
her own and her children's existence to the
most liberal and delicate of benefactors, who
in an age of dissipation, had made humanity
the first of his pleasures.

The Ax.-The other day was holding
man by the hand-a hand as firm in its
outward texture as leather, and his sunburnt
face was as inHexible as parchment; he was
pouring forth TRADE of contempt on those
who complain that they can get nothing to
do, as an excuse for becoming idle loafers.
Said 1, "Jeff what do you work at? You
look hearty and happy; what are you at ?"
"Why," said he, 60 bought me an ak

That was all the money had. went to

girl who has earned 5000 since she was
eighteen. My old ak l shall keep in the

"that Ak and no grog." They are the two

PEEREssEs CONDUCTING BANKING OPERA
rIoNs.-Two of the richest bankers in Lon
don, a few years ago, were peeresses,
namely, the Duchess Of St. Albans and the
Countess of Jersey-the latter as the heiress
of old Joshua Child, constituting the prin-
ciple partner of the Child banking house.
Both ladies at one time were said to be in
tie habit of paying periodical visits to their
respective establishments, and are said to
have been distinguished for the affability and
good sense with which they sustained their
positions, inspected the books, and entered
into general business details. But this re.
port was true; and that part only of the late
Duchess of St. Albans. She was particular
ly fond of showing herself at the bank in the
Strand, and putting questions to the partners
and clerks, with whom she was no favorite-
being, in truth, somewhat of bore. Lady
Jersey, as the representative of Joshua
Child's interest, only attends the bank once
year, when the accounts are balanced and
the profits struck. On this occasion the
partners dine together at the bank, and the
Countess. as the principal partner, takes the
head of the table. This lady:s connection
with the concern has the following history

who was heiress to his great wealth, and was
married to the Earl of Westmoreland the
eldest daughter of that marriage was the
present Countess of Jersey, to whom the

TRUTHFUL REMARKs-The New York

marks, from the pen of Fanny Fern :" How

inside that church spoke as his Master spoke
when on earth, that he would soon preach to
empty walls. They want husks, and they
get them. l say in my vexation, as the door
swings on its hinges in some poor creatures

aided, as best he may with poor mans

are wiser. Their creed is not my creed, save
this part of it: That the rich and poor meet

aisle and makes the sign of the cross, that

then pass out to the cares she may no longer

"DIED OF ANDREW JOHNSON. The fol-
lowing melancholy paragraph is from WASH
ington dispatches to the New York Tribune
We regret to say that the johnson rinder-
pest is showing itself in San Francisco, says
the Flag, chiefly among infirm Union men !:

Johnson's policy by 5000 majority His

error. In the town where he had once walk

of his old friend to come and see him. They

arrival Representative Clark came from
Washington. What a contrast and what

him with music and flags. A public meet

ANECDOTE OF BIsMARK.-The following
anecdote of Count Bismark is told by the
Paris correspondent of Land and Water, an
English journal:
In 184l Bismark was twenty. six years
old, and had Just passed his civil service ex-
animation. He went to the chief of his de.
partment. and was told to wait in the ante
room. At the end of half an hour he began
t. show symptoms of great irritation ; three
quarters of an hour passed. and he pulled off
his gloves and tore them up. When he had
waited an hour and half he got up, and
was leaving the room, when the gentleman
he had been waiting for opened the door and
asked him what he required. Sir, an hour
and a half ago, l wished to speak with you,
but desire to do so no longer And young
Bismark went away twenty-five years
later, Otto Edward Leopold de Bismark
was First Minister, and paid an official visit
to a certain Prefect. The Minister was
shown into his apartments by the Prefect.
and was about to retire. We'll, SIR said
the Count, you must acknowledge that life
is full of curious changes What does
your Excellencv meanY Il mean that ii
is now twenty three years since saw you
and you are very little changed beg
your Excellency's pardon, but l don't re-
member How said M. de Bismark,
laughing, don't you remember young man
who wss rather impertinent to you when you
were head of Department. The Prefect
became red. green and pale, but the Count
gave him his hand, and no more was said of
the matter.o

TArE WORMS AND LAGER BEER.-During
the past few months the successful treat
ment for the tape worms in this city has
been the subject of newspaper notice and
compliment, says the La Crosse Democrat,
although these ugly customers are very fre
quently dislodged by appropriate prescrip-
tions. But now professional aid is unneces.
sary, the practitioner must seek new fields
of conquest to gain notoriety cowhage, tur-
pentine, mercury and all the drastic and dis
agreeable drugs SO often prescribed for tape
worm must be ignored. Lager Beer, that
much abused beverage, has proved itself
equal to the emergency. A prominent citi-
zen of Vernon county, whose health for a
number of years had, at times, been serious
ly impaired, recently exhibited symptoms
inducing him to believe that worms was the
cause of his sufferiugs. Philosopher like, he
eschewed food for three days and drank
mott ing but lager been Having thus tasted

the result of his prescription in the expulsion
OF large tape worm measuring over thirty

medical men by whom tape worms are look
ed upon as so difficult to master, and the
successful treatment for which has been
deemed worthy of especial notice. And as

some symptoms of consumption; and he
would remain immovable, exposed to the
whole heat of the sun, until the skin of his
face began to peel of, and it was necessary
to employ force to drag him into the shade.
In April, exhaustion proceeded rapidly,
laboring in his breast was observed, the
pulse was very slow, and on the morning of
the eighth he expired after short struggle.

Mr.. RAYMOND said his vote on this qucs-
