A Rhode Island paper says: "Calls
begin to come in for locks of hair from
the head of Miss Ida Lewis. We hear
that aegentleman from the South wrote
to friend in Newport, requesting him
to procure such favor from the lady
in question, and that he very wisely
called at BARRIERS shop and obtained
a tress of the same color as hers and
sent it to the admirer of the heroine of
Lime Rock as the genuine article.
This is.a very sensible way of disposing
of such requests.

TOMBSTONE.
Last week, says the Dubuque Iowa
Herald, of the 4th instant, tombstone
was erected i'll Linwood Cemetery I'M
der circumstances somewhat peculiar
and interesting. Among the. old citi-
zens of Dubuque is Mr.. John +. Rague,
who with his wife occupy rooms in the
Bishops block, this city. Mr.. r. is
over seventy years old, and totally
blind, but his physical powers have not
abated, and his mental faculties are
active as ever, as is indicated by the
interest he manifests in what is going
on about him, in the city and the world
ct large He is fluent in conversation,
with well stored memory and cultivat
ed mind, at home in matters of history,
philosophy and especially theology
holding opinions upon the latter sub
ject differing from those to be found in
any current creed, and which, though
his opponents may not accept them,
they find they are not to be easily
swept away by school-boy sophism. We
refer to this only as a key to an under
standing of the verses which are an
nexed As the darkness both of blind
ness and of age begins to gather around
him, Mr. Rague looks forward to death
with philosophic composure, notwith-
standing the heretical nature of his
theological opinions. In anticipation
of this, though now in sound and TO-
bust health, with o reasonable prospect
of dozen or a score of years before
him. Mr. Rague some time since or
dered his own tomb stone, which for
several weeks past has been preparing
at James marble factory. 1t consists
of very handsome and we'll polished
piece of italian marble, of large size,
and three inches thick, imbedded in q
sandstone base. The stone, as men,
toned before, was last week put in
place in Linwood Cemetery, upon his
lot at the head of the place where he
intends his grave shall be. Upon the
face of the tombstone is inscribed:
JOHN FRANCIS
RAGUE;
Born Scotch Plains, N j..
March "a, 1899;
The date of death being omitted, to
be added when occasion shall call for
it. A space below, for inscription re-
garding his wife, is left vacant. She
doesn't manifest any disposition to oc-
cupy the space allotted her on the
tomb-stone-or under it-while bust
ness continues as active as at present
On the diverse face of the tombstone
are the following verses, written by Mr.
Rague as his own epitaph;
This planet earth, its face I've trod
For three score years and DER,
Now in its bosom make my bed,
| To rest for evermore.
Though ere a thousand years shall pass.
My dust shall rise again;
May generate cen flowers OF grass,
BY aid of sun and rain.
The bees will sip those fragrant flowers,
The lambs will eat the grass,
| And thus they'll spend their earthly
hours
Till from this earth they pass.
Then to return to mother earth,
Some time again to rise,
Though no one knows the kind ofbirth,
Dut God, the only wise
Thus Natures laws are Gods own cause
Obedient to his will
Men sometimes teach, but let them
pause;
All Nature speaks-be still
Roll OH our planet, in the train
With million others, roll
Man need not fear, he can't be slain
| He's under Gods control !rb...
|. JOHN +. RAGUE.

The ladies tilt their hats forward rad
ically just now. If gentlemen's hats
were to assume that angle they would
be accused of having taken something
spirited.
Messrs. A. T. Stewart & Co. say they
have never done as large business at
this time of the year before. They at
tribute this fact to their having adver-
tised more this season than ever before.
They are undoubtedly right.

AT a meeting of captains and ship-owners
last evening it was decided TO continue the
established rates Of freight for the assooia-
uons vessels as they are at present 81 40
70 Boston and points eastward Of il, and &2.25
to Rhode Island ports.
The announcement was made that the asso-
citation intended to test the legal right of
pilots to charge half -pilotage to vessels in
the coasting trade, when they performed no
service whatever, merely hailing the vessel at
the entrance to harbor, and then sending in
bill for half-pilotage Vessel-owners con-
slider this an unnecessary tax on commerce.
no service being rendered, and meeting is
to be held on the first Wednesday in October,
by the Board of Directors, to take action with
reference to the alf-pilotage. r>
The Board of Aldermen met yesterday.
Alderman Beitler, President. in the chair
The object of the meeting was to fill the

motion was laid on the table
Alderman Toland offered the following:-
Res0g0ed, That the canvassers Of the several
divisions, or majority of them, be and they
are hereby instructed to issue subpoenas to
all persons whom they have reason to suspect
have been surreptitiously or illegally placed
on the extra assessment list, commanding
such persons to appear before them and pro-
duce receipts for taxes, and if a naturalized
citizen to produce his papers, and also two
qualified voters, whose names are under head
of private householders, who shall be ex-
amined under oath affirmation, and evi-
dence shall be required of them that such
person is personally known to them, and that
he had all the qualifications required by law,
and if such persons fail to appear and produce
such evidence as is by law required, their
names shall be stricken from the registry by
drawing line through them.
The resolution was passed, and the clerk
was directed to notify the canvassers of its
passage
The Board then adjourned without naming
any day for the next meeting.

The Pan Mall Gazette says:-The tone of
the letter addressed to the newspapers by
Messrs. Wharton and Fords, the solicitors of
''the descendants and representatives of the
late Lady Noel Byron" is not easily recon
cilable with prevalent belief among per-
sons likely to be well informed that the said
descendants and representatives had some
time since made up their minds to publish
the correspondence in their keeping relating
to Lord and Lady Byron's conjugal differ
ences. Whatever may have been the reason
which ultimately determined Lord Went
worth and his sister to postpone the
publication of their grandmothers papers,
Mrs Stowe cannot be such fragrant offender
against proprieties in publishing what Lady
Byron told her without injunction of secrecy
if her own grandchildren have already
thought of printing her correspondence. 1t
will be observed that Messrs. Wharton and
Fords, in their carefully composed letter,
make no charge of material inaccuracy against
Mrs. Stowe, but dwell on the incompleteness
of her statement. 1t is to be inferred that
substantially Mrs. Stoves statement is cor
rect, and that more remains to be told worse
cannot be behind. 1t is believed that the ad-
ditional information in their possession is
chiefly of acts of violence by Lord Byron.

Sickles has withdrawn his note to Marshal
Serrano.

Brownies ''Chinese policy" a review, and
thinks he has made mistake.
George Patton, Lord Justices Clerk Of
Scotland, has disappeared, and it is feared he
has been foully dealt with.
Prussia, in attempting to annex the Grand
Duchy of Baden, is accused of violation of
the treaty of Prague.
The Madrid correspondent of the Lon
don Times thinks Minister Sickles mere
tyro in diplomacy, and incapable of prejudg-
ing the effect Of his words. Hence the row
he has created.
The Pope, in reply to DIR. Cummings
letter, SAYS that the Gcumenical Council is

-"Gargantua" is often supposed to be Of
Rabelais creations but comparative mytho-
logists do not allow it, and M. II. Gaidoz has
now come forward, in the Reoue Archeol0.J .JjQ,to,
TO show that the original Gargantua was Cur
guntius, the mythic son of the mythic Bell
nus, both kings of Great Britain. Giraldus
Cambrensis describes this " Gurgtuatjts,

Monmouth gives two chapters to Belinus'
son and successor, Gurgiunt Brabtruc Cor
Grimbeard). Gargantua NJ Gaidoz explains
as ''the Devourer," and thinks that he may
have been originally a personifcation of the
sun. However that may be, it is certain that
legends about Gargantua were prevalent in
France and Great Britain long before Rabe-
lais' time
