followed the revolution of Thaddeus
Kosciusko, many of the truest and best
of the sons of that Inflated country were
forced to fee for their lives, forsaking
home and their friends. One of those
who had been most eager for the liberty
OF Poland, and most bitter IN the enmity
against Russia aud Prussia, was Michael
Sobieski, whose ancestor had been king
hundred and fifty years before. -
Sobieski had two sons In the patriot
ranks, and father and sons had been of
those who persisted in what the Russians
pleased TO term rebellion, and price had
been set on their heads.
The Archduke Constantine was eager
to apprehend Miche1 Sobieski, and
learned that the wife of the Polish hero
was at home in Cracow, and be waited
upon her. MADAM" he said, speaking
politely. for the lady was beautiful and

ORIGIN OF THE FAN.


When fallen Eve became aware,
How i'll she had behaved to man,
To hide from his reproachful stare,
She went and made herself fan.
But when she peePed above the rim,
In wistful, deprecating wise,
The action rather tickled him
He didn't know she had such eyes,"
So when he asked her to explain
The object of that new conceit,
Away went shame-she peeped again,
And said, ITO screen mo from the heat. y
The day was hers fun many, too,
Have conquered thus in many lands;
Eve told her daughters what to do
In future with their idle hands.

SENIOR ANTONIO MoREs, MINISTER FROM ECUA-

Senior Antonio Flores Minister of the Republic of
Ecuador the United States has recently disappeared
1t known that though not at all in sympathy with
the system which Moreno used in manipulate
ing the affairs Of the government, he at
the time related TO HIM by the most sacred and
enduring ties. Garcia Moreno, it is said, exiled the
father of Flores who had been under the old constitu
ton thrice elected President Of the Republic and whe
had done his country good and faithful
service; but yet by marriage the Morenos
and Flores were closely nterlinked that
the death of Garcia Moreno sent TO the heart of Antonio
Flores pang OF anguish and regret Flores had spent
great portion of his life away from his native land
He was sent out while quite boy to represent his
country in the United States and became imbued
with the spirit of our free and liberal institutions
Moreno kept Flores out OF the country; perhaps he
feared him perhaps he remembered how much the elder
Flores had been beloved and the desire the part of
the people to have one OF the same house to preside
their nation.

days behind time. The news she brought was commu-
ncated the day after her arrival in these columns
Flores received this news and something Apart
from the details of the assassination he must have been
the recipient Of intelligence OF far graver import,
otherwise one could not account for his peculiar be-
havior
It has been presumed that Senior Antonio Flores was
at his summer quarters Fort Washington but the
HERALD reporter upon seeking him at his residence last
evening" found that he and his family had departed,
and that one was there who could tell him OF his
whereabouts The lady telegraph operator at the depot
however, threw out hint that he had gone home.
The writer next called upon one Of his bankers, gen
tleman who does not wish his name known and after
little questioning, ascertaincd that Flores had
really at recent date taken his departure with his
family for Ecuador So unexpected was his leave
and carefully guarded that few of his friends knew
anything about It. The gentleman referred to above
exceedingly retcent and could not would not,
state anything in relation to tho affairs Of his country
Senior Flores has friends in the Republic and
it probable that should he raise his standard he could
gather about sufficient strength subdue all oppos

vote To the chair of the Presidency
