PLACE OF EXILE AND I'M
PRISONMENT.


The Island of Sante Marguerite
forms part Of cluster Of small islands
known as the Hes de Lerins. situated
Opposite to Cannes, between Cape
Rdux aud Cape Garoupe. The group
is, AZ matter of fact. com posed Of
two isles. Sainte Marguerite and Saint
Honorat, which have between them
canal 700 metres wide, and a few rocky
excresences, the largest Of which is in
Sainte Marguerite is at q distance of
about two Kilometres from the coast,
oval in shape, and about seven kilo-
metres in circumference. On the east
it is covered with fine forest of ma
rine pine trees, and is used as sema.
phnre station. A third class fort rises
on the northern brow II the islet, and
is known to mariners rs Fort Croisette.
II was built by Richliau, and improved
by that prince of the art of forti6ca-
ton, Vauban. II has already served
several times as a State prison. In
this very fort the famous and mystic
rious Man of the Iron Mask, whu has
puzzled so many historians and given
rise to SD much speculation, was shut
up for seventeen years. Lagrange
Chancel. the author of those daring
phillippics against tile Prince Regent,
was also kept prisoner in the same
place. Finally, during the reign Of
the First Emrire, Monseigneur de
Broglie, Bishop of Client, and uncle
of the present Minister, was confined
there for some time. On the eastern
point of the island is the Redoubte de
la Convention. The garrison of this
fort is at present unimportant. but it
is there that the guard specially told
of to watch over the condemned Mar.
shall will hold its headquarters. This
guard, under the command of colo
mel, will leave at the same time as the
prisoner. Gen. du Barrail, the Minis.
ter of nar, has given orders for the
greatest consideration to be shown to
Marshall Bazaine. Meanwhile there
has been no little stir made in the Re

ANECDoTE OF JOSEPH II.

Many stories are related Of the
quaint humors Of Joseph III. of Ger
many. and with all his foibles the
spirit Of humanity was his over.mas
tering genius. The Emperor was walk
hIg one dav alone upon public prom
enade of Vienna. when he met Young
woman who seemed to he in great dis.
tress. He spike with her aud inquired
the cause of her sorrow. She inform.
ed him that she was the daughter of n
petty officer who had beer killed in
the imperial service; that she and her
mother had for "a time been enabled to
support themselves by their industry,
but that they we're now unemployed,
and reduced to utter waut.
Have you received no assistance
from the government asked Joseph.
"None, replied the girl.
"Why do you not apply to the Em-
peror9"
"Ah," was the reply, with a sad
shake uf the head, "sach q step would
be worse than useless." i,.t.,.
"Why SO ?" ,...c y..I.
Because he is stern and cold, and

The girl took the ring and on the
following morning she and her mother

THE BITTER END.

A passenger by the Australia tells
of married pair appearing on ship
board at the moment the gsngway
plank was being pulled in at the dock
in New York. A state-room had been
procured in some mysterious manner
and some huge trunks followed, but
the owners came last, and the captain
was somewhat puzzled to find that the
name on the passenger list and the oc-
cupants in the state room were not tue
same. After the ship, however, lost
sight of land, The captain was taken
into the confidence OF the gentleman
and told of an elopement. The groom
WI man about forty years of aye, a
foreigner and q count, with coal
black moustache on his face, aud a
castle Cn thesIShire. He had the hard,
handsome face common to Mississippi
gamblers and dressed himself in the
same gorgeous style. The bride, with.
out being handsome, had large, win
ming blue eyes; that, in their helpless,
contiding sort of expression, won the
sympathy of all OH board. The Count
treated his wife with elaborate courte-
sy, always getting out of the way
when the poor thing suffered from sea-
sickness, aud after expressing his con
cern for madam in the choiest phrase.
He expressed himself ennuied terribly
with the monotony of the sea, ana liied
hard to inveigle certain gentlemen iu-
to games of change, only to pass the
time, however. He was strongly averse
to gambling. At the end of the voy-
aye the pair disappeared, and the two
tugltives were heard of no more until
months after when the Australia WAS ON
her way back to New York, when the
kind hearted captain learned that n
woman, travelling alone, was very i'll
in the Storage. Seeking her with
the ships physician, he was astonished
TO find in the sick steerage passenger
| the Counts bride of few months be-
fore. He vacated his stateroom to the
poor woman in her faded fnery, aud
little by little he learned her story.
1t was the old, old story of offended
parents, and a cruel husband, who,
finding a helpless wife, without money
on his hands, first abused, aud then
deserted her. She had parted with
the few bits of jcwelry lett her by the
brute, aud was nov getting back as
best she could, ruined and broken.

was approaching New York. The
weary passengers collected on deck
saw the poor creature, with little re.
naming Of her former self but the
wistful coniiding look over her large
blue eyes, that from out the pale,
sunken face seemed larger than ever.
Those who watched her more closely
saw al timesa light gieam in them, as
ii for a second her poor numhed fac.

vessel, aided by wind storm, WAS dash.

Queen Victoria's Coronation.

To the Editor of The Chicago Evening Journal
Please allow slight correction of
a statement of historical facts in your
last Saturday evenings issue. You
say:
"Thirty-seven years have passed
since the coronation of Queen Vic>
toria, and to-day the Eaglish-nation
is celebrating the anniversary"
The facts are that William Nv.
died between 2 and O'Clock on the
morning of the goth of June, 1887,
and later in the morning the great
bell on st. Paurs tolled, as is the case
only when one of the royal family
dies. and the herald went through
the streets OF London proclaiming
Victoria Queen, SIS she was by here
ditary right the moment the King
had breathed his last, agreeably to
the English adage that "the sovereign
of England never dies" But it was
not till the Goth OF November follow
ing that the Queen was croCned
when she went, in great pomp and
parade. for the first time to open
Parliament. So that it was the pro-
clamation and accession to the throne
that was celebrated on Saturday last
and not the coronation"

Railroad Killing.
From the West Grant Advocate. ]


EDS. ADVOCATE Your issue Of
the Gath inst. contains an article en-
titled Railroad Building" which de.
serves passing notice. The writer
admits that railways are indispensi-
bic as q means of transmitting pro-
duce, merchandise, dc, from one
part of the country to another, but
seems greatly alarmed lest we should
have to many of them. He illus
trates by representing a farmer as
buying seven very fine coats and at
the same time dying for want Of
bread. Now [ don't see the ap-
plication in this case. Were a per-
son really starving, and some person
should make him present of seven
nice coats, although articles unsuited
to bis immediate necessities, it is
hard to see how he could be injured
by receiving them, as he could not
be compelled to wear them unless
he chose to do so
1t is true, that in the matter of
railway building We may learn use
full lessons from the past and profit
in the future by past experience, but
it is folly to run to seed to fetter the
hands of those who would build
them. If it is true as the article re-
ferred to states, "that 1t is impossi-
BILE to induce any foresight in the
majorities" the outlook is gloomy
enough, indeed, and the ignorant
masses must forever remain the prey
of sharpers and soulless corporations.
But | take more hopeful view OF
the case, believing that the bitter
experiences of the past are not easily

The Rustic and the Candy Boy.

A lad went through the Rensselaer,
and Saratoga train yesterday, dis
tributing prize packages Of candy,
and on returning to gather them up,
found a countryman complacently
disposing of the contents of the pack
age that had been dropped upon his
seat. The lad waited and held out
his hand for ten cents. The country
man stopped eating long enough to
ask what was wanted. 81 want pay
for that candy p said the boy. "For
this candy 2" said the ccuntryman.
"Why, goI durn ye, didn't ye heave
it inter the seat to me ?" eyes"
said the boy, "but you must pay for
it if you want it," The countryman
sat in utter establishment, then slow
~ opening his mouth, be dropped

half-masticated fragments, and hand
