Portrait of POcahOntas.

The Richmond Journal says that Dr.
Jane Beale has deposited in the State
Library of Virginia portrait of the
Indian princes PocahoDtas, to whom
many of the leading Virginia families
trace their origin. The paper says this
portrait makes Pocahontas very pretty
woman Of about 20 years of age. and
clothed in the uppercrust toggery pre-
valent in the nation of her father, King
Powhatan. The portrait deposited by
DIR. Beale is an exact copy by the elder
Sully, made in 1880, of an original
portrait of Pocahontas, painted between
the years 1916 and 1917, during her
visit to England, in company with her
husband, John Rolfe. The remains of
the original portrait were in 1842 in
possession Of DR.. Robinson, of Peters
burg. Thomas Role, a son of Poca-
hantas, was born at Plymouth Eng, in
1916, soon after his brother arrived
there, and his mother died at Graves
end in 1917. Her son, after his arrival
aud married, and died leaving an only
child, John Boiling, whose daughter.
Jane, married Richard Randolph, of
Curles, in the County of Henrico,
State of Virginia. Ryland Randolph,
son Of the latter, procured from Eng
land the original portraits of John
Rolfe and Pocahontas and placed them
where they hung for many years in his
mansion at Turkey Island. Mr.. Ran
dolph died in 1874, when both pictures
passed into the posessian of Thomas
Boiling, of Cobbs, in Chesterfield
County. These pictures are named in
an enumeration Of the estate of Mr..
Randolph, recorded in Henrico County

The moon is low in the sky
And a sweet south wind ia blowing
Where the bergamot blossoms breathe and die
IN the orchards scented showing;
But the stars ire few, and scattered lie
Where the sinking moon Is geing
With a love-sweet ache strain
VI the nights delicious futing,
Stlrs In the heart, with as sweet pain
AS the flower feels in fruiting,
AND the soft air breathes breath OF rain
Over buds and tendrila shooting.
For the sweet light faints and dies
Like the blush when love confesses
Its passion dusk TO the cheeks and eyes
And dies in it's sweet dstresses
And the radiant mystery fills the skies
Of possible happiness.
I'LL the SIM breaks out on sheaves
And mouths of pink perfume,
Where the milky bergamont Stakes it's leaves;
And tie rainbow's ribbon bloom,
OF the soft gray mist OF the morning, weaves
A rose III the roses loom.
The fog, like great white cloth
Draws out of the orchard and corn,
And melts away in film of froth
Like the milk spray On the thorn;
And out OF her chambers blush and loath,
Like bride, comes the girlish morn.

4 BID BOY

The enterprise of young America has
been written and talked about for years,
still there are grades Of opinion in regard
to young Americas sharpness, and
among those who have been most struck
with the precocity of the rising genera
ton is Detective Kenn0ck Of the United
States secret service, New York. 4
few days ago a small boy applied at
the secret service Office on Blocker
street, and said that he knew Of a MAJ
who had counterfeit money to sell.
The boys story Was apparently reliable
and Detective Kcm0ck, was detailed to
effect a capture of the counterfeiter, with
the aid of the youth bringing informa-
ton. At a specified time the detective
accompanied the boy to the appointed
place and there instantly recognized one
Coffee, an old offender, to whom he was
well known. He had barely time to
give the boy a roll of bills in good money
to exchange for counterfeit and conceal
himself, when the counterfeiter came up
and began negotiations with the young
informer. The boy agreed with Coffee
to give a certain sum III good money for
Il certain number of counterfeits, and re-
ceived the latter, when, instead of hand
ing over the genuine notes, he cut and
ran. At this juncture the detective
sprang out and arrested the counter
feiter, and then waited for the return Of
the boy. But the boy didn't come. He
had passed away Ike a morning mist,
and they couldn't find him any more.
He had the genuine money with him and
the counterfeit too, and the detective
and the rogue were equally disguised at
the turn of affairs. Since the arrest the
counterfeiter has been discharged, from
want of evidence against him, and thus
the last drop of bitterness is addedto the
cup of the chagrined detective. He
wouldn't trust his own baby now, so
thoroughly is he convinced OF the moral
obliauitv of Young America.

HIRTHI RIGDES'S ROH1SCE.

1t is about q suit in England, in which
a Capt. Charles Frederick claimed to be
the lawful descendant of his grandfather.
In 1773, Capt. Charles Frederick, Il
handsome, gambling spendthrlft OF the
Grenadier Guards, ran away with beau
tiful Martha Rigden, the daughter of q
malster. They took up their abode III
an obscure part of London, and whether
they were married or not nobody could
tell, but two daughters were born.
Finally the dashing Captains debts were
SO pressing that he exchanged into an
India regiment and became a Colonel.
Mrs. Frederick, nee Rigdcn, followed
him to Bombay, where she was received
in the best society as Mrs. Col. Frede-
rick. He also wrote home, declaring that
Martha Rigden was his lawfully welded
wife before leaving England, which at
or circumstance he entered in his Bible.
There was no evidence, however, Of the
marriage in the registry OF the little
church of Stratstield. After the
Colonel's death the pension Of the East
India Company was paid to the widow,
but neither her relatives, nor the rela
tives of her ~aristocratic husband would
ever believe there had ever been any
union. There WAS much perplexity IN
the case, but the sentiment of public
opinion WAS with the young fellow suing
for his own from the first, and that
probably carried it with the jury, for
they brought i'll q verdict confirming the
marriage despite the absence of all proof
of q registry by overwhelming presump-
ton. And, so, after a century, Capt.
Charles Edward Frederick takes up his
own on the ~baronetage of the nation.

to shoot him, but inasmuch as he was
such a valuable animal and was SO Sc
cufely fastened as not to be able to injure
any one, it was determined to deter kill

suits. Day after day passed, the dog re-

much effort extracted it, which to his
establishment he found to be a galvanized
