A woman was placed on trial in the
Chester (Pa.) court, last week. charged
with disturbing a religious meeting by
riotously eating peanuts. The evidence
for the prosecution was that, although
she was repeatedly requested to deslst,
she made loud noise by munching,
and crushing the shells with her hands,
declaring to the deacon that she should
eat peanuts whenever she wanted to.
The woman was discharged.
Judge Basil Hamilton, the Kalam-
azoo centenarin, has just died at the
advanced aged of 103 years, preserving
his faculties clear to the last He was
one of family of twenty-three children
Six of his elder brothers fought the
British under the leadership of Wash
ington. The old man himself had known
the Father of his Country, had voted
for his second term, and had voted for
every President ever since. He was
married at 10, in the year 1900, eloping
with girl Of 16, with whom he had
lived until the year 1857. They twain
were man and wife for sixty.seven
years. During those years of uninter-
rupted happiness they had sixteen chill.
dren, of whom eight are still living.
There are also eighty-one grand chill
dren and number of great grandchil-
dren AS nearly as can be estimated
the fruit of the clandestine union of
Basil Hamilton and Martha Stillwell
was 22O souls. Born March Is, 1771,
he was older than the republic. Wash
ington was farming at Mount Vernon;
Jefferson was 28 years of age, George
III. was on the English throne Nelson
was a midshipman; the future Duke of
Wellington was baby in arms; Robert
Burns was school boy; Walter Scott
and Murat were not born; Mary Anto-
inette, at 16, was barely foreshadowing
that exquisite beauty which was one of
the agents pre- pairing for the over throw
of the old regime; Napoleon was an in
fant, and Lafyette was studying in
Paris.

@rieal flight. l noted many of my most
affectionate creditors in the crowd, and
waved them fond adieq. The earth
seemed fast fading away, and I felt
happy, for, 'after years of TOLL" 1

Our Friend i'm Time OfNeed

The Chicago Tribune says few peo.
pie know how deeply indebted the Unit
ed States is to Russia for kindly services
during the war. It has often been
vaguely whispered that Russian intiu-
ence prevented the armed inter ference
OF France, and perhaps England, in be-
half of the South. We are enabled to
lay before our readers trustworthy in
formation never before published, in
support of the truth of tine rumor.
When Gov. Curtin, on the eve of his
return to this country, went, in his ca.
pacity as Minister TO Russia, to take for
NAL leave of the Emperor, the latter
closed the conversation substantially in
these words: ~ wish, sir, that YOU
would upon your return, express my
hearty thanks to the American peonle
Tor the reception they have given nv
son, the Grand Duke Alexis" This,
1t will be remembered was shortly after
Gen. Grant had refused to return
Alexis's call, and the latter had left
washington in disgust. Gov, Curtin
noticed the Emperor's failure to send
thanks to the Government as well as the
people. He supposed, however, that it
was slip of the tongue until the En-
press bade him farewell in almost nre-
clsely the same words. 81 shall be han.
