Charlotte TemPle-RecalI Of a
sad story Of Ninety Years
ago.
Among the countless througs who
daily pass and repass Trinity church,
how many know that within few feet
of the crowded thorughfare of Broad
way is a grave which covers all that
remains of once beautiful and fascina-
ting woman, the record of whose sor-
rows has dimmed the eyes of thou
sandsl No date of birth, no indication
of family, and no date of death, appear
on the stone that covers the grave of
Charlotte Temple, whose tragic story i,
oncs the theme Of every circle, is
probably unknown to the greater num-
Der of young readers. The most beau
tiful girl in New York-so claimed
she attracted the attention of a young
officer, amember of one of Euglaud's
oldest and proudest families, who with
his regiment entered the city when the
British occupied New York, after the
battle of Long Island. Charlotte, then
only seventeen, was wooed and won
by the dashing young officer. He
deserted her, and then the old story
she soon after died of broken heart.
"A little daughter which she left was
tenderly cared for, aud at a proper age
taken to England, and a fortune of one
hundred thousand dollars settled upon
her by the head of her fathers family,
the late Earl of Derby, grandfather Of
the present Lord Stanley. She, ike q
true daughter and a true woman,
returned to New York, and erected the
monument that now marks the mothers
grave. The inscription upon it was
engraved on q solid tablet of brass, an
inch in thickness, heavily plated with
silver, and thus it read: "Sscred to
the memory of Charlotte Stanley, aged
ninteeu years" The filial duty per
formed, she returned to England, and
fived life of unobtrusiVe piety and
usefulness. The plate placed upon the
stone~th marks the grave was sup
posed to be Of solid silver, and tempted

with hammers aud chiels, succeeded in
prying it from the slab. They were

may be seen, within a few feet of
Broadway, by any one who will take

railing. The last time we glanced at

Warning Of the Coming Of the
Messiah.

Our friends of the Hebrew faith will
doubtless feel more interested in know
ing of certain strange Developments
which, according to the Austrian news
papers, have manifested themselves in
Jerusalem. These developments refer
to the coming this year Of the Jewish
Messiah. The story, as told, is singu-
lar enough. 1t appears that the Rabbi
of Parks, a town in Hungary, has re-
ceived letters from Jerusalem which
state that toward the end of last month
column of fire was seen near the ruins
of Solomon's Temple, and that strong
voice was heard which addressed itself
to an Isrelite who was Worshiping there
at the time. The voice warned the de-
votee of the coming, this year, of the
Messiah, and declared that the IsraIites
should repent aud be more observant
of the religion of their fathers. The
man so addressed spoke prophstically
of what he had heard. Thereupon the
people treated him as an impostor, and
some even went so far as to attempt to
take his life; but he, as il mirseulously
endowed with more than human
strength, fought hundreds of his sssail-
ants, and when, sfterWsrd, a battalion
of soldiers was sent to arrest him, baffled
them in their efforts to capture him.
Two Isralites, the Hungarian journals
say, have been dispatched to Jerusalem
to learn the extra facts of this extraor-
dinary affair. 1t is clear that, if not
one of the prophets, the man who, as
above narrated, opposed the host of
enemies, must be an athlete Of no small
pretentions. " Y Tines.

A discovery has Just been made in
the suburbs Of Chicago, which, it is be-

Professor William Stimsou, who has

of the most prominent and active Of

short time since, while passing Mr.
Thatcher's farm, just beyond the town
of Harlem, and adjoining Hass Park,
discovered hillocks which he suspected
might belong to the mound-building
period, and might contain valuable
mementoes Of a past age. A few days
afterward he obtained permission of the
owner Of the farm to make examination
of the mounds, and last week, he, to-
gether with Charles Kennicott, made
a personal examination of the premises,
and uncovered the earth to the depth
of about three feet. They had dug but

discovered which, upon examination,

sooner heard than large outside pock-
ct of one of them was forthwith filled
with hasty pudding, and all were seat
ed as before. As soon as the profess
or had opened the door, the student,
who was loaded with the mush, made
a sudden sweep over the table with his
hand as if to gather up the cards, and
with another motion apparently put
them into the pocket containing the
mush. These movements could not
help being noticed, as they were intend
ed to be, by the professor, who, con
sidering them as pretty strong evidence
of guilt, broke out with the following:

thrusting his hand half way to the elbow
into the hot hasty pudding.

fingers, and groauing and cspers of the
professor, belong to the sphere of i'm
aginatiou, not description.

Hannah Fsnnimore was born on the

Germany, in the year Of our Lord I76I,
and will on the 11th day Of next De-

of her age, and has consequently been
in the country of her adoption 100
years, arriving here seven years before
the Declaration Of Independence, and
when the old bell was sending forth
the proclamation Of liberty throughout
the land, and to all the inhabitants
thereof she, in the maiden blush Of
sweet sixteen" was living at the mouth
Of Mantua creek, in New Jersey, where
she was soon afterwards WoOed aud
won by Matthew Bigger, young FsyO-
lutiOnary soldier, whom she married
when she was tWenty-one years Of age
and by whom she had eleven children,
the youngest Of whom is now ffty-fve
years old, and the oldest, if now
living, would be sighty-fVe.
Her husband dying when her youn-
gest child was an infant, she remained
widow q short time, and married .

whom she lived until his death, which

she has lived with her son before mem

collects the frequent visits Of General
Washington to the house where she
lived, and his often dining thsFs, and
until recently she recollectsd all ths
principal events of the American RsVo-
luton. On Wednesday of last week
she tripped right lively down the main
street Of Delaware City to daguerrso-
type gallery and had her likeness taken.
From present appearances she bids fair
to live for a number of years yet.

The Last Female hieving Dodge.
From the New York Evening Post, Nov g.

On Monday ayoung woman, dress
sd In deep mourning, and bearing an
infant In her arms got on board the
South Side train from Patchogue a.
Valley Stream, and took her seat by
the side OF young man named Null
ford, OF New Jersey. A conversation
ensued between them, and the woman
informed him that she had last week
buried her husband, and was then on
her way To Philadelphia to spend the
winter, at the same time informing
him that she was to be accompanied
by her uncle, who would join her al
Springfield.
During the ride she leaned over
the young man several times, appar-
entity anxious to know how far she
was from the station. Arriving at
the station she pointed out her uncle
and asked the young man to hold
her sleeping infant while she con-
Quoted him on board the train, as he
was old and feeble. The young man
consented and took the child. The
train soon moved off, but the woman
did not return, and the young man
becoming suspicious, felt for his watch
but found it was missing, as was al
80 his pocket book. He then pro-
ceeded TO uncover the infant, and
was astonished on beholding nothing
moro than a large rubber model. He
made the facts known to few per-
sons, and vowed never to ride in the
same seat with a strange woman, or

Who Sets the Fashions

Girls do not set the fashions.
They may, and do exsggerate them,
because there is very little to dis
tingulsh one girl from another in the
crowd, and because they are silly;
but 1T Is the woman who is Just be-
ginning to be on the wane-ta femme
presQue pdSSee-who wants to look
still youthful and girlish, from whom
proceed nine-tenths of the devices
TO conceal the figure and delude the
eye. The large manufacturers and
wholesale millinery establishments
of Paris decide beforehand what are
to be the patterns of the season but
in the smaller details it is the mar
ried woman-wno, moreover, bears
the purse and possesses the social in
fuence-who sets her wits to ap-
proximate herself to the young girl ;
and this is best done by such fashions
as most conceal distinctions and lev
ell inequalities OF grace-as in the
matter of the small waist, which is
to be created in appearance where it
does not exist in reality. 1t is for
the advantage of nicely made girl
to appear in simple costume. Her
trim proportions and the pretty run
of her figure wants only leave to APP
pear as nature has gwen them to her
But when she and the rotund matron
dress IN in the same incorporating
expanse of erinnlire and turbelow
the girl loses all distinctive charm
and the matron alone gains by tn.
similitude.

A WORD FOR LOCAL NEWSPAPERS
We clip the following from the New
York Tribune 1t is true, and we
commend it TO every one who has an
interest where he resides
Nothing is more common than to
hear people talk of what they pay
newspapers for advertising. &c, as
SO much given in charity News
papers, by enhancing the value OF
property in their neighborhood, and
giving the localities in which they
are published a reputation abroad,
benefit all such, particularly if they
are merchants or real estate owners,
thrice the amount yearly Of the mea-
ger sum they pay for their support.
Besides, every public-spirited citizen
has Iaudable pride in having IA pa
per Of which be is not ashamed. even
though he should pick 1t up IN New
1 ork or Washington. A good iook
ing, thriving sheet helps property
gives character to locality, and in
many respects is desirable public
convenience. If from any cause the
matter in the local or editorial col
umn should not he up TO your stand
ard, do not cast it aside and pro-
nounce it good for nothing, until
satisfied that there has been no more
labor bestowed upon it than is paid
for. If you want q good, readable
sheet, it must be supported And it
must not be supported in a spirit of
charity either, but because you feel
necessity to support it. The local
press is the power that moves the
people"
