HEROINE OF THE CON :

History records many instances OF
how woman have exhibited courage and
bravery under trying circumstances.
The history Of our own times, still un-
written, will not be wanting in such in
stances. In the lecture delivered by
Henri Roohefort in New York city he
speaks of the case of Louisa Michel,
Ia woman of the commu-
ne exiled to New Cali
donia with himself. In the frat siege
of Paris she fred the first shot at the
outposls, and during both sieges lie
remained to the last hour 10 l'tis
battling bravely against th" Ncr.a,lIes
army" After the fight, the government
feared her courage, and gave orders for
her arrest She was concealed by her
friends, and the government to force
her surrender, arrested her mother, and
announced that unless Louisa Michel
gave herself up, her mother would be
shot within twenty-four hours. The
daughter instantly appeared before the
soldiers and addressed them "Here
am, shoot me down. but |

proach the commnne with. the killing

AROUND THE GLOBE


Cyrus W. Field, having connected
the United States and Europe by an
ocean telegraph cable, is determined
now to perform the same good office
between the United States and Asia.
His ultimate intention is to place, like
Puck, girdle around the earth, so
that, finally, dispatch leaving Lon
don and darting westward, will flash
around the world, and accomplish
the parodoxical feat Of arriving at
the point Of departure ere leaving
there.
Mr.. Field contemplatcs laying the
Pacific cable from San francisco to
Yokohama, by the Southern route via
Honolulu and Ocean Island. The dis
tanoes will be: From San Francisco 10
Honolulu, 220O miles; from that point
to Ocean Island, 1900 miles; and
thence to Yokohama, 23OO miles.
A branch cable from Honolulu to
sydney, Australia, il part of Mr..
Fields plan. From Yokohama two
lines will be laid westward, toward En-.
rope One Of them will traverse 81.
IBERIA; the other will go by way of the
East Indies, connecting at Slng.
apore with a branch cable from Au..
tralia.
The entire cost is not expected to
exceed $40 900 900, which Mr. Field
has no doubt Of Obtaining from tn,
capitalists Of London, New York an,
San Francisco, organized in a Joint
stock company. The new cabl
would be paying investment in tw,
years.
AZ wiil be remembered that Unite,
states war steamer has been engage,
Tor some time in taking sounding
OF the Pacific, with a view to ascertai
the best locality for laying the pro
posed cable, The reports, 50 far, az

JOHN CARTER BROWN.

lNhlcdgo lIlDNne,l
John Carter Brown, of the great frm Of
Brown aud Ives, died in Providence,
r. J.. on the 10th inst, at the advanced
age Of II years. He was the second son
OF the Hon. Nicholas Brown, the distingu-
ished beneiactor of Brown University.
from whom that institution derived its
name. He graduated al the University
in 1916, and became partner in the firm
of Brown and Ives IN 1882. On the
death Of his father, in 1871 he inherited
large estate. He has be-
slowed upon the university large and
nunitcont gifts, and has also aided many
other colleges and academies throughout
the country. He was also one of the
earliest and largest contributors to the
Butler Hospital for the Insane and the
Rhode Island Hospital. He was one of
the early members OF the New England
Emigration Aid Society, and accepted the
Office Of president of the society At IA time
when tho Kansas struggle was at its
height His library of American history
was probably the finest in this country.
The journal says of It;
He has accumulated, by his own Sc.
lection and judgment nearly all the pub
lications which are now eXtant IN any
language relating to this extensive sub
joct, beginning with the Columbus Let
ters Of liJ3 and ending with the political
pamphlets of 1900, Thoso who are
familiar with similar collections in tins
and in other countries have pronounced it
to be moro complete in its own special de-
psrtment than any other in the world. 1t
WAS his purpose to secure every work ro-
lating to either North or South America,
tho smallest as well as tho largest,
which was published in any part of tho
world, between tho first voyage of Col
umbus aud tho close of the eighteenth
century. Tho collection contains nearly
all tho photographed goms which are
most highly priced. 1t is particularly
comprehensive in all that relates to
English, Spanish, Portuguese, French.
and Dutch colonization, and scarcely less
so in materials for tho history of the states
and nations to which this colonization
gave rise, or for illustrating the aborigi-
nal races which faded away before its
progress.

"REMINISCENCES OF GEN WIG
EAII


A correspondent of the st. Louis
Dispatch gives some interesting stories
of the late Senator Wigfall:
read with some interest your ar
ticle on the death of General Lewis 4.
Wigfall, Of Texas, man who to my
mind, was one of the most remarkable
characters the South ever produced,
and | have thought some "reminiscences
of him strung together at random
might not be unacceptable at this time,
especially as his death has brought his
name once more prominently before
the public.
In conversation he was one of the
most facinating men it was ever my
fortune to be thrown in contact with
not only a brilliant talker, but a
learned and profound talker as well.
Possessed Of wonderfully retentive
memory, a great fund of anecdote, a
style that was exceedingly picturesque,
and gift in making metaphors-for it
cannot be called by any other name
that was inexhaustible, he could come
as near proving black to be white in an
hours talk, as it was said Lord Macau
ley could, Before an audience of peo,
pie proper he was irresistible. Once
