than suspicious character, being known
as the originators Of scald-head and

concludes his article by caution against

brushing instead. He also recommends
the use Of weak solution Of carbolic

charge to the jury, he dwelt at further
length upontee matter, declaring that
the Language Of the Constitution, affirm
ing the right Of the citizens to bear arms
in defense Of themselves and the State,
placed the right above all legislative,
judicial or individual question, and that
it could not be taken away till the Con
stitution itself upon the subject should
be changed. II there we're an hundred

A SHARP TRICK. J

"PIanting Lead Ore In JeGeEson Z :! 7, n
Purposes.
+, The Steubenville Herald, of the 9Th
inst, thus let's daylight through a swind-
ling scheme in the way of a mining
speculation:
A year or more since considerable ex-
citement was created in the northern
part of the county and among the spec
ulatiye in this city, over the rumored
discovery of q rich vein Of pure lead ore
on Yellow Creek. So well was this re-
port corroborated that specimens Of the
minerals were sent to this city, a chunk
of which we kept to exhibit to the. curl
ons and incredulous. There was no
question but what the specimens were
unusually pure, and all doubts as to dis
covery were dispelled. Old residents,
who lived in this part of the State when
the Indians were troublesome, remem-
bered that the redskins, after skirmish
with the settlers here, always disappeared
up Yellow Creek, and returned with
plenty of lead Persons who we're for
tunate enough to own land in the vicini-
" of the mines asked fabulous sums per
acre, and dreamed Of untold riches
Gentlemen from the city visited the spot
where the ore was dug out, and after a
careful examination pronounced it to
be genuine. Those who had been vic
Tins of the oil excitement in that region
Of country did not pitch into the lead so
readily-the price Of land declined in
consequence Of buyers holding off, and
no more lead was discovered Recently
it has come to light not the lead mines,
but the fact that the ore had been but a
short time before placed in its little bed
to catch gndgsons. 1913 a9M)In III

A TAILOR PRINCE.
A New Presendar 10 the Imperial
Throne of France.

VI
The American Register, published in
Paris, has the following ossicus story:
A reputed son Of the Duke OF Reich
stadt, the issue of secret marriage
with a Hungarian Countess, and there
fore a legitimate grandson of Napoleon
/, has lately received some slight pun
ishment from the District Court at Ischl,
and been expelled the country, for hav-
ing made an entry in his so.called wan
der-book, 7 which is a kind of journey
mans passport He has formerly lived
for several years at Wurzeu, in the king
dom Of Saxony, and aiterward at Stutt-
gardt, under the name of Carl Gustaye
Ludwig, as a journeyman tailor, and
has. distinguished himself by his dill
gence, skill and modesty. Nevertheless,
he has always asserted his claim to the
name and title Of Prince Joseph Eugene
Napoleon Bonaparte. His story is
that the Hungarian Countess, his moth
er, had been induced by Prince Meter
mich to apprentice him to a tailor in
Warren, named Ludwig, as way
of getting rid of him, and had then
married again in Saxony. An author
now living in Leipsic, but former
ly Hungarian officer, was Wit
ness to the marriage of the Duke Of
Reichstadt, and would supply him with
the means to compel his mother to ad.
knowledge him. 1t appears that some
story Of secret marriage of the Duke
of Reichstadt did really find its way into
a paper of the time in question. Since
leaving Stuttgardt he has travelled
through Germany, Switzerland, and lat
terly part of Austria, earning his live
lihood as a tailor, maintaining his claim
to his princely rank, but never attempt
ing to obtain money or credit by it. Not
long ago he again appeared in Stutt-
gardtf and finding that his conviction
and punishment at Ischl had been mem
toned in the papers of that place, be
published an explanation in the Burger
Zeitung 10 the following effect: He states
that he has not been punished for claim
ing his name and title his right to which
the court Of Ischl had in no wise dis
puted, but merely for writing it of his
own accord in his passport before he had
succeeded in establishing his identity be-
fore court of law Not only does the
reputed Prince bear remarkably good
character for his steadiness and general
good conduct, but he also produces a
very favorable impression by his man
ners. His family likeness to the Bona
parte family is extremely striking.

A Philadelphia orator.

David Paul Brown, Of Philadelphia,
has been for half a century the favorite
orator of the American bar. His re
nown was national before he was thirty
and, as he not only never sought but
resolutely declined office, and rarely
praeticed in the courts of other States,
his fame is mainly the outgrowth Of pro-
fessional efforts in his native city. He
is still living in Philadelphia, in his
seventy-seventh year, the most active
veteran of his time. Who cannot recall
him in the flush Of his manhood2 OF
middle hight, compactly made, with a
full round chest; his forehead high and
broad, eyes black, mouth large and hlled
with the finest teeth, he is frequently
seen on the streets almost as erect and
graceful as when he thrilled our court
rooms and was followed BY crowds Of
admirers. Mr.. Brown was always rather
an exquisite IN his dress, and to this day
his blue coat and brass buttons, buff vest
and light pantaloons, gloyed hands, neat
boots. and rather rakish hat, prove the
vouthfulness Of his tastes and the gayety
Of his disposition. He is, perhaps, too
fond of dress, but he defends his pecu-
liarity BY saying that be had never
known a man 10 speak well in clumsy
boots, nor TO have a clear mind with
dirty hands and face. asr-eas

If there is anything for which Mem

the slave became free niger then came
the millennium to the whisky shootists.
The monomaniacal son of chivalry could
slsy his man with comparative immunity
from danger, and if the numerous mur-
ders and outrages committed in that city,
previous To and during the great riots,
could be traced out, it would be found
that men went forth from Whisky Chute
nerved for the deed Around the mouth
of that Internal sink would gather gam
blors, loafers, and even those who else
where passed for gentlemen, and insult
any one whom they thought fit to term a
yankee" To turn on the rascals and
resent the insult was useless, for each
one Of the cowardly crew would declare
he had not said a word. With such dens,
