The Geneseo Republic, 10 republishing
the foregoing article says:
We publish in another place in this is
sue of the RcpubIsc an article from the
Chicago EDening Journal of Tuesday,
July 9th, headed Tickle Fortune" in
which an estimable lady -residentcof this
city, the wife of the late Marquis de Bel
10y, the head of one of the oldest and most
aistocratic families in France, is deeply
interested. The lady has resided he-e
with her family siuce 1874, having moved
to this city soon after the tragic death Of
her husband. and has made many true
and warm friends among our people. The
Warehouses de Bailey, widowed mother
of the late Marquis, recently died in
France, by which occurrence the vast es-
tates ofthe family descend to the Oldest
son of the Marquis, together with the
title which his father bore. The Journal
article which gives brief history of the
husband and father of the family here, and
the fact of the death of his mother, is in
correct in few particulars. The present
Marquis, who is now some thirteen or
fourteen years old, was never bootblaek
or newspaper peddler in Chicago or any
where else. but has lived with his mother
here up to last spring, when he entered
the Office of prominent citizen of Chica-
go, and is there now. Mrs de BellOy was
not raised in the wilds of Michigan. but is
a member of prominent family in north
ern New York, and is we'll bred and intel
ligent. She Is not so extremely poor az
the Journal represents. Her income is
small and by nabob would be considered
a mere pittance; but she manages to sub
SYST on it, and to make respectable ap-
pearance 10 the best society in this city.
There are other minor errors which we
have not space left to correct.
We congratulate the young Marquis
his mother and family on their good for-
tune

Ancient Druids In Kentucky.

A correspondent Of the Louisville
C0urier-Journal writes:
An archaeological discovery that prom
ises to be of high interest to the curious
was made short while ago by party of
gentlemen from Cincinnati, who had been
sent as committee of the Board of Trade
to investigate the feasibility of route for
q railroad through our Kentucky mount
aims. The discovery was made in Flem-
ing County, about six and half miles
from Flemingsburg, near the turnpike
road leading from that place to Fox
Springs. Undera ledge of sandstone, and
partially buried, they came upon thirteen
sandstone bowls or basins, eighteen inches
or more in depth, and an average of six
feet in diameter. They are. neatly fash.
ioned and finished with considerable
degree of taste. Each was supplied with
q cone-shaped cover, fitted to it with great
nicely, and bore evidence Of once having
been sealed. These vessels, which when
found were nearly all in perfect condi-
ton, were arranged in mathematical cir
Gle, the distance between them being about
seven feet The gentlemen who examined
them seemed to be of the opinion, from
their general shape and from the fact thst
each had d narrow outlet at the side, that
they may have been used for some horrid
Druidical rite by the race who vanished
ages ago and left the surrounding hills
and plains wild and untenanted solitude.
With characteristic impudence they made
immediate preparation to remove them to
the chambers Of the Historical Society at
Cincinnati, but the gentleman on whose
land they were found fortunately had the
good sense to forbid the removal. and CON
sequently they have remained undisturbed.

A Champion Shopper.

She swept into our largest dry goods
store with that easy grace that belongs, as
birthright, to Balumore's fair daughters,
stopping at the glove-counter. The polite
clerk rushed forward to wait on her, with
a note of Interrogation in each eye; she
asked for kid gloves. eyes IN, what size

and she turned to look at it, and then ejac-
ulated: Kid gloves!" Yes IN, what
size 'ms' "Why, Miss Sue, how do you
do? Haven't seen you for an age" etc.,
etc. "Good-by," and, as she turns again
to the patient clerk and transfixes him with
stony stare, again demands, in an injured
tone: IS Kid glOvesw "Yes m, what size
mr." asked the now somewhat excited
clerk. "Oh! why, five and three-quar-
ters."
The box, containing six dozen, of every
conceivable shade, is placed before her.
Carefully she looks at each one Of the sew
enty-twO pairs, draws some seventeen pairs
out of their various packages, bursts the
bands that held them in dozens, and then
remarks: Why, wanted black gloves"
The box containing the black kids is pro-
duced, a similar process of disarranging
the stock il gone through, and pair is
finally selected. "How much are they ?"
chirped the fair one. "One dollar and
seventy-five cents" replies he OF the yard
stick. "Oh, my gracious! Tell sells
them for fifty cents" Yardstick explains
that the goods would cost three times that
sum, ETC., ETC.. goods must be damaged to
sell at that price. Lady admits they are

Let the scoffers and deriders who have
no faith in the administrative capacity of
the gentle sex read the story of the Begun
of Bhopal and veil their abashed faces.
Bhopal is small and obscure State of
Central India, and the Princess, its ruler,

istence of any ring government; on the
contrary, she makes tours of inspection
through her domains and metes out pun.
ishment and affords redress with her own
tinted hands. Under her unfaltering eye
the grocers of Bhopal have an exceeding
ly hard time; their weights and measures
are tested, and, if they prove defective,
the Government destroys them and kindly
provides new ones, and Messieurs the
grocers pay for them. She exercises
stern dicipline in all other matters of NOR
ais; she has nearly paid Oft national debt
of zoo, 900 rupees; and she contemplates
the building of a railroad. The name Of
this remarkable woman was Nuzeeroel-

Augustus the Strong's Legacy.

Wayland Hoyt writes to the Boston
Jouraal: In the beginning of the eight
zenith century there reigned at Dresden
huge protligate called Augustus the
Strong. He seemed to think that the peo-
pie were but common food for Kings His
oppression and rapacity knew no bounds.
He was called the Splendid as we'll as the

was wanton. A gypsy party at Muhlberg
cost $G,OOO,00O. He built the Japan Pal
ace for one of his mistresses, the floors of
which were covered with carpets of the
rarest feathers. He sold regiment of
thousand men, with horses and harness
and arms, for few choice vases of curious
fashion. His private treasury-the cele-
brated green vaults of his palace-was
crowded with precious stones and gold,
wrought into grotesquc figures; with os-
trichs' eggs decked out with blazing mag
niticcnce into fantastic shapes; with mu-
steal clocks and hundreds Of other toys,
collected at untold expense. I never saw
diamonds until saw them in those same
green vaults. They seemed as plentiful
as the pebbles in the streets. There is a
bronze room and an ivory room and
mosaic room, and gold and silver room,
and room of precious stones and rega-
liza room, each tllronged with various orna-
ments and objects worth millions, but as
useless, most of them, as children's play
things. There are caricatures formed of
enormous pearls. There is the throne and
court of the Grand Mogul, Areng Zeb,

golden throne, surrounded by his guards

But even he managed to do noble and

to him. II you cannot with historical

extent of it is his work. In this gallery
are collected z, 400 pictures, many Of them
the finest masterpieces.
