A cross.eyed man cast gloom over q
Detroit street car last Wednesday, by ask.
ing one of the seven men and strangers
on the opposite seat, il he had any chew
ing tobacco handy. First the seven
strangers looked at each other, the seven
hands went pocketward, and observing
this motion each of the seven supposed
his neighbOr the one spoken to. and tho
seven hands returned empty. The cross
eyed man cast a glance Of indignation
along the line, and with the remark: "a
sweet.scented lot Of generous rooster" ="
deliberately took chew of his own to-
bacco.

3 TIE MARvELs OF THE TICHBoRNE
CAsE.-After the Tichbornc trials people
must overhaul and revise their ideas Of
the impossible. Nothing has ever been
attempted so absurd, 50 insane one may
almost say, as the scheme Of the Austria
liam butcher to make himself u baronet
and millionaire by simple lying. He had
scarcely single point to begin work
upon. A young gentleman had been
drowned at sea, who was heir to title
and great estate. His friends, convinced
of his death, gave his heritage to the next
of kin. His mother alone, refusing to
despair, advertised for the missing one.
The advertisement coming to the eyes of
butcher in Australia, he resolved to
personatc the lost son. There was not
one chance in million that he could sue
ceed. There was no accidental resem-
blancc of person, of manner or of charac-
ter. Mr.. Nasty tried to get drink at
Wizards Hotel by saying he was Chas.
Sumner. But this attempt was no less
ridiculous. The baronet was little,
delicate. ''scrubby" man. The claimant
was MANN mountain, weighing three
hundred and sixty pounds. The baronet
spoke French more readily than English;
the claimant did not know one word Of
the language. Sir Roger belonged to a
widespread family connection of which
the claimant had never seen one member.
Yet he confidently sailed for England,
and for seven years fought the fight which
ended in his conviction as felon, with
varying success which must always re-
main wonder to succeeding ages. His
trial has changed mems opinions as to the
worth of human evidence. Dozens Of
witnesses, among whom was Sir Rogers
mother, testified that this was the rightful
heir. Several members of Parliament
espoused his cause. Popular subscrip-
tions assisted him in his scheme. He was
defeated at last by two things-by his
own statement in regard to Mrs. Radcliffe,
which all England instmctively cried
could not have been made by Il man born
gentleman, and by the evidence of Lord
Bcllew, who said he had tattoOcd Sir Ro
ger in his boyhood. Remove these two
comparatively unimportant incidents from
the case, and it is not impossible that the
craziest crime against rank and property
ever attempted might have succeeded, by
form of law, in the most aristocratic coun'
try of earth

"There has been some philogicsl doubt as
to the origin of the phrase After him with

many that the sharp stick referred to is
the much-fsared January bill.' And it
would seem that there is some ground for
this. The Necshehan Indians Of Cali

agreeable habit prevalent among u
of sending dunning bills. When one
Indian owes another, it is considered bed

The Mary Washington Monument

A letter from King George county, Va, in
the Washington Star, says:
You are 10 an error in stating that the monu-
ment to the memory of Mary, the mother Of
Washington, has had nothing done to it since
the imposing ceremonies OF laying the corner
stone. The deslgo was to erect an obellsk OF
of some sixteen feet 10 height, on a pedestal,
with proportiouate base. The base and pc
destal, block some FIVE by six feet in dimen-
sions, were flushed and in place" when the
funds gave out, the contractor disappeared, and
the work was abandoned. The huge block for
the obeiiSa was on the ground and partly dress
ed, aud now Tor quarter OF century has lain
overgrown with dense thicket Of weeds, dis
colored, and nearly buried in an accumulating
mass of dccaying vegetation. 10 an eastern or
western village Of a hundred houses, the inhab-
itants, on the disappearance of the contractor,
would have flushed that stun" and had il
10 position without feeling that they had taxed
themselves very highlysiu the effort.
'Betore the Association" took hold of
Mount Vernon, the tomb Of Washington itselt'
was 10 state of shameful dilapidation. The
tomb of his great contemporaries have little to
distinguish their final resting place, aud the
place Of burial of his Immediate neighbor, one
of the trainers OF the constitution and one Of
Virginia ablest sons, is to day unknown In
mediately below Mount Vernon, on the hills
overlooking the "White House" in the pine
forest, amid almost mpenetrable cedars, lies
the slab which covers the remains of Lady
Fairfax, wife of the Lord Fairfax who was
killed in the wilderness of northern New York
in the "French and Indian war;" and whose
body was placed under the old Colonial church
in Albany. On the high bluffs which mark
the mouth of Potomac creek, 10 the same ne
elected secusion, lies man who at the close
of the last century was the agent and coniden-
tial friend of Charles Lord Fairfax so the
titles read, himself of immense wealth, and
managing an estate reaching from Smiths
Point to the sources Of the Potomac and Rap
pahanuock By his side lies one who was
leading politician fifty years ago, and all over
this early-settled portion of the State, in like
neglected condition, you will find all that re-
mains of the great men, who py their wealth
or talents gave Virginia her influence 10 our
early history"
