colonel Alexander Hamilton.

The following are some interesting.
"reminiscences Of the son of Alexander
Hamilton, who died in New York the
other day:
One of the most interesting adven-
lures in his whole life was a trip through
the States, with his own coach and his
-four blooded horses" This was in
1885. He was accompanied by hts wife,
beside his driver and a few servants. He
visited Chicago, which was then q mere
village with a single hotel, and passing
on through Northern Illinois to the Mis-
sissippi, he swung round and returned,
passing through Kentucky and Tonnes
see, finally bringing up at Washington.
During this trip he was waited on by
many men who had already or since
have won their places in the history of
the country. During his later years he
often spoke of this adventure with a
great deal Of zest, and would entertain
listeners for hours with a narration of
the incidents which occurred during the
long trip. He first saw Abraham Lin
coin while on the way through Spring
field in that year. Lincoln was then a
young man, aud when seen by Colonel
Hamilton was stretching his long legs
on a rude bench in a corner store crack
ing jokes with the other village youth.
Colonel Hamilton on that memorable
trip rode in all 1000 miles.
Physically Colonel Hamilton was a
small man, five feet six inches in hight.
He appeared to be well preserved, and
had a luxuriant growth Of fine white,
silken hair, with a flowing white beard.
Three brothers survive him. A Ham
ilton, aged eighty-seven, who lives at
Nevis, near ~Irvington; John G. Hamil-
ton, aged eighty.four; aud Philip Ham
ilton, aged seventy, who lives at Pough-
keensie.

Fire Inst Night.

At 10 o'clock, while Mr.. Gluck and
family were attending the Court Square
concert, a FIRE broke out at their resi-.
dence situated between Carroll avenue
and Poplar strest, near Bull Run. The
fire was evidently the work of an iuceu-
diary, as no fire was in the house when
Mr.. Gluck left it to attend the concert.
Our reporter visited the scene Of the fire
last night, and found that the house and
furniture were consumed, but little hay
ing been saved. A high wind, almost
amounting to a gale, prevailed at the
time, and in a few minutes the property
was wrapped in flames, resisting all the
efforts of the 6remen.
Since the above was written, our re.
porter has been informed that the
furniture was nearly all saved, but in a
damaged condition, and that the fire is
now believed to have occurred from
accidental causes unknown. The house
and furniture were fully insured in the
Phenix Of Brooklyn, Greene & Lucas
agents, the amount Of insurance being
eleven hundred dollars.

Tne New ob.srvalory a. vlsnna.

A new observatory has been lately
erected at Vienna, says the London Athe~
neum, on a scale corresponding with the
modern requirements of astronomy
which are so different from what they
were a century ago. The former estab-
lishment, indeed, which was built in
1853, was never well adapted for its pur-
pose. Extensive alterations were made
in it by the elder Littrow (who took the
direction il 1919, after filling the chair.
of astronomy successfully at Cracow and
Kasan); but its situation in the heart Of
the city was greatly against it as a place
for observing work. The present direc~
tor (born at Kasan in 1917, who sue
ceeded his father on his death in 1910,
soon began to'agitate for the erection of
a new observatory, though it was nearly
thirty years before the first practical
step was taken toward carrying it out;
nor did the actual building commence.
until last year, the plan having been APP
proved in 1873. 1t was, above all things,
important to select a suitable site, re-
moved from the close proximity of the
town and at q somewhat greater eleva-
ton. Such was found at a place known
as the Turkenschanze, or Turk-!ort,
ridge Of hills on the northwestern bound
airy of Vienna, famous historically as
the scene Of the victory gained by King
John Sobeiski, of Poland, over the Turks
in 1858. The hill on which the new OBJ
servatory is built is about two hundred
and fifty feet above the level of the Dan
ube, and commands a fine view over the
whole city and surrounding district; the
atmosphere is usually tree there from
mist, and possesses that clearness and
transparency which are so necessary for
the observation Of faint objects. From
a copy Of the ground plan and elevation
which has been sent to US, the ar
rangements Of the observatory itself APP
pear to be we'll adapted for the prosecu-
ton Of observations of every class, and
its establishment will mark q new epoch
in Austrian astronomy.

The Last shot.

On the first round each made a bull.
and they we're right royalty cheered,
On the second this was repeated, and the
cheers went up louder than sever. In
the last and decisive round the consulta-
ton was long before Gildersleeve finally
made up his mind what fraction of an
hundredth part of an inch the wide
gauge required. Aiming long aud care
fully the bullet was sent of. The strike
against the target was unmistakable, but
the men at the glass seemed divided be-
tween a bull and a center. The men in
the butts, too, came out and held a con-
sultation before the target, celebrating
and sc%rutinizing the shot mark with care;
while the thousands stood a half mile or
more away, awaiting their decision. At
last they hurried back into the cover,
and all eyes watched the aperture
through which the marking disk wal 70.
appear. In a small, but not the less ex-
citing way, it was a repetition of the
famous " last shot deciding the first in
ternationsl match at Creedmoore, in Sep
TENDER, 1874. But the Clandeboye crowd
did not wait long in suspense, for up
popped the white marking disk; trav-
cling out to the very extreme right
edge of the bulls eye before it rested,
and the marker must have been aware of
the popular feeling in the loud and long
hurrah which rolled down to him from
the firing point crowd. But Lee had yet
to fire his last shot, and the crowd cut
their noisy acclamations off short as he
lay down to fire. It was a trial for any
man to undergo. Nothing but a bulls
eye could save him. and that only to an
other tie. He had made every calcula-
ton correctly, but the strain had been
too long, and ne wavered. The wind
was blowing as before, but his leaden
messenger took a way path, and none
knew it quicker than himself, for on ris-
ing, even before the signal for the outer
made by him had come up, he extended
his hand to Colonel Gildersleeve to con-
gratulate him on his victory. The glass
men, too, sprang up into relaxation after
the keen watching for the past few
moments, but the crowd waited until the
black disk notified all that the match
was ended, ard then the last cheer went
up, not that Lee had lost, but tor the
winning man, about whom they all clus-
tered. The scores made by these men
would have been fine in any case, even
if not made under the peculiar circum-
stances of a double tie.

poor but proud corporation existing upon
past recollections Of local greatness, has
been compelled at last to repair the
bridge built by itself over its own track,
which cuts away Madison street and de-
stroyed the grade Of the street. The
old corporation agrees to repair the
bridge, which they repaired ever since it
was built, and now does so under pro-
test. The fussy old thing never does
right, except under protest. Tom Scott
attempted to make the road something,
but he gave it up, regarding it only as a
side track to some other roads. The city
authorities should see that the railroad
company repairs the bridge without any
more delay.
When the rain commenced falling last
night Arnold's band was ~discoursing the
Cornet Polka in Court Square. The
musicians stepped, grabbed up their
music-books and sheets, tucked their
brass instruments under their coat-taiIs
and fed. Even the mar who plays that
immense instrument which is coiled
around him like a snake, turned the big
funnel end down, fearing a torrent of
water would rush into it and drown him
out. AS the crowds departed, three of
the audience, overcome by the music,
were left asleep and snoring upon the
benches, and utterly unconscious of the
storm Of wind and rain.
The General Council should repeal
that old ordinance, section 2lO, sub-sec-
ton SO, under which it is claimed that
although the new charter is in force and
the old one is played out, a farmer who
sells the products of his soil in Memphis
has to pay a privilege tax Of ten dollars
on bis wagon. Those old ordinances do
not seem to be in keeping with the spirit
Of the new charter, as that charter pro-
vides in section 4S as follows: THE
present ordinances shall be in force I'M
til they are repealed or modified by the
General Council" This section of the
charter vas inserted so as to bridge over
the chasm caused by the coming in Of the
new and the going out of the old char.
ter. We do not think that a farmer who
sells the produce Of his soil can legally
beregarded as a " peddler of vegetables, I"
etc. Here is a chance for the Changers
to come to the front.

The DevlI-His PersonaIity.

A curious point of ecclesiastical law
has come before the Arches Court in
England. A Mr., Jenkins was dissatisfied
with a sermon of his pastor, Mr.. Cooke,
on the eternity Of future punishment,
and wrote him a letter demonstrating
with him upon his views. Whereupon,
Mr.. Cooke, by way Of retaliation, looked
into a book compiled by Mr.. Jenkins,
entitled Selections from the Old and
New Testaments,' and discovered that
be had cut out from these selections "all
passages concerning Satan or evil
spirits and then informed him that he
considered this terrible evidence" of
the extent to which he (Jenkins) would
90 in mutilating the Word of God" and
that until he made amends for it in a
proper manner he should not give him
the communion. jenkins appealed to
the bishop, who blew hot and cold
alternately, and finally refused to de.
eide the matter extra-judicially; and
the minister reported hat he had re.

in negotiations with Mrs. jenkins, to
admit her husband to the sacrament if
he would admit his belief in the devil
"a compromise which Jenkins refused
with scorn. Accordingly, the parties
went into the court, and the case was
deliberately argued before the Dean OF
the Arches, Sir R. Phillimore, who holds
that jenkins is a "criminous layman,"
"a defamer Of the Book Of Common
Prayer" "a s%landerer Of Gods Word"
and an EVIL liver" and therefore unfit
to receive the sacrament, and that he
will have to believe in the personality Of
the devil and in the eternity Of Inflammation
in order to recover his standing. AS

be very curious to see what he will do
in case he is beaten in the court Of last
resort, whether he will stay "criminons"
or swallow the obnoxious doctrines, and,
if the latter, what will be the effect on
the sale of his Selections from the Old
and New Testaments. Nation.

SEVERE ON STEWART.
a Story Regarding the Mill
Ri0naire.

Correspondent Cleveland LEADER
The following sad story was told
me the other day by a friend, as
we stood in front ofStewart's mag
nifiicent mansion on Fifth avenue
and Thirty-fourth street. This
story might have had a silver lin
ing if the millionaire occupant of
the house only had q heart a hun
dredth part as large as his cash
box. Mr.. Thompson, the gentle
man with whom Mr.. Stewart con-
tracted for the delivery of the
marble for his house, was financi-
ally ruined at the outbreak Of the
war. He found that he could not
fulfill his contract without losing
every dollar he had ia the world,
and he went to Mr.. Stewart and
begged to be released, but Mr..
Stewart said, "No, he must do as
he agreed The mans anxi ETY. and
griefso preyed upon his mind that
he soon became insane and COM
mitted suicide. His wife was left
entirely destitute and could find
no other employment than that of
cleaner of the new courthouse
She had been discharged when
they reduced the number of per-
sons employed there, but fotun-
ately has been reinstated In her
position again. Mr.. Stewart knows
that this woman's husband lost
his fortune and finally his life
through his vain ehdeavors to full
ill a business contract with him,
yet he stands indifferently by aud
does nothing to relieve her neces-
stiles. There is no need for Mr..
Stewards lawyer to change his pa
irons last will and testament,
which it is said disposes of a hum
dred millions of dollars worth of
real and personal estate, and yet
this woman might be cared for for
life If the great dry-goods mer-
chant had only the least concep-
ton of the undeniable fact, that
there is something nobler in this
life OF ours than strict adherence
TO business discipline. OF course
he has right TO his money, for he
has earned it; but how hard must
be the heat Of a man. when he
can let this woman suffer for The
bare necessities Of life, when he
knows, and no one can know bet
ter than he, the facts of the case
