An EMPEROR i'm a Barrel.

Dom Pedro should be good friend
to all the descendants of the old Ston-
ington sea-captain. The Norwich Bull
htln tells this quite romantic story of
the Emperor's father: {" 1t will be re-
membered that in 1922 the Brazilians
rebelled against Portugal, and pro-
claimed their independence, and con-
ferred the imperial crown on Dom
Pedro, the son of John VI. of Portugal,
then regent during his fathers absence.
This was the father of the present Dom
Pedro. He ruled till 1881, when forced
to do it by growing dissatisfaction,
which eliminated in short but violent
revolution, he addicted in favor of his
son. Popular feeling against him was
vegy bitter, and his personal safety was
threatened SO that he was forced to
conceal himself. 1t was at this juno
ture that Stonington vessel put into
Rio Janeiro with cargo consigned to
the British consul at that place. Her
master was Capt. Thomas Dunbar, of
Stonington, an old sailor, with the cour-
age Of lion and the heart of a child.
He lay in port some days, discharging
and receiving cargo, and was at length
ready to sail. The night before his de-
parture, the British consul sent for him
to come to the consulate, and, after a
long preliminary conversation told him
that the Emperor was in hiding in his
house, and asked Capt Dunbar to aid
in his escape. This the latter at once
consented to do. The question then
arose how it should be effected. The
wharyes and water-fronts were lined
with police and soldiers, watching for
the royal fugitive, and escape seemed
almost impossible. A plan was finally
agreed upon, and In the end proved
successful. The ship which lay at one
of the wharves, was got ready for sea
the next morning, and was on the point
of getting under way when the captain
suddenly recollected that he had for
gotten to take his ship-bread aboard.
A messenger was accordingly dispatch
ed, and in some way it was procured at
the consulate. A wagon-load of bis
cult in barrels was sent down, and roll
ed across the wharf and into the YES
sels hold. In one of them was Pedro
|. The ship got under way, and when
safe from pursuit the cask was opened
and he was liberated, nearly exhausted
by his position. The ship came to
Stonington, where the Emperor was
landed unrecognized, and whence he
left for Europe. He made Capt. Dun
bar a present of 5000 for his service,
which at the time was considered
munifcent reward. Capt. Dunbar fire.
quently related the story in later years,
and in an exceedingly graphic manner.
He lived to be over eighty, and died a
few years ago at the residence of his
son-in-law, Capt. Hall, near Westerly,

A Pair of Wits.
From the Boston Transcript.


Chesterfield and Voltaire, born in the
same year (iG94) were long and life
long friends. Whatever may have
been the cratic Frenchman's vagaries
and miffs, for he never had q friend
whom he did not at some time abuse,
Lord Chesterfield was too much Of a
gentleman to take offence, or even no
tice.
On certain occasion the two friends
were in company at a grand ball in
Paris, given by the Kings favorite.
Chesterfield stood by a marble pillar,
gazing upon the brilliant assemblage of
ladies, when Voltaire accosted him:
"My lord, you should be a judge in
such matters. Now, seriously, do you
not think our French ladies the most
beautiful you ever saw?''
Upon my word" replied Chester
field, with nod and smile, II am
not a judge Of paintings
Not long afterwards Voltaire crossed
over to England and was present one
evening at a party given by an English
nobleman in London A lady in the
the company, sparkling in jewels and
highly rouged, was particularly atten-
tive to the noted Frenchman, engross-
ing most of his discourse. Chester
field, observing, came up and tapped
his friend on the shoulder.
BE wary, monsieur, or you will be
captivated."

MY LITTLE ROMANCE
CHAPTER 7.
BY ANGELO J. LEWIS.

CHAPTER T.
GOOD evening, Mr. Lancaster. You
don't remember me-"
[ was standing in the brilliantly
lighted kursaal of one of the minor
German watering-places, where I, Harry
Lancaster, then newly-fedged Master
of Arts, and reading for the Bar, was
spending a part Of my Easter holiday.
The room was thronged with the mixed
assem- blage usually to be found in such
places, and [ had been amusing myself
by specializing probably very wide of
the mark on their characters and for
tunes. Two Individuals had especially
attracted my attention. One was a
young Englishman of about my own
age, of a remarkably pleasant and pre-
possessing countenance, though disfg-
ured for the time by the fierce excite
ment Of his present occupation. With
intense eagerness he followed the
chances of the game, his expression
varying from joyous exultation to the
opposite extreme, as his ventures met
good or evil fortune Close by his side
was a tall eyil-looking American, who,
as it seemed to me, was leading on the
young EngIishman and encouraging
him to further hazards. [ had been,
half unconsciously, studying the lines
of these two faces, and mentally COM
pairing the two to Faust and Ne ohisto-
pheleS, when [ was reused from my
reverie by hearing myself greeted by
name, as above The speaker was a
man of gentlemanly appearance, with

cheeks. The voice seemed familiar,
but somehow I could not succeed in re-
calling the features

The mist suddenly cleared away from
my memory, and was able to recog.
nize the familiar tones and the unfa-
n1iliar face. [ had a few months pre-
vlously been spending the evening at
one of the lodges Of the great Masonic
fraternity, and had sat next a stranger
who had charmed me by his gentle
manly bearing and his varied informa-
ton. And had been much astonished
on finding afterwards that the genial
individual with whom had fraternized

The New York Hotels
From the Boston Journal.


The Fifth Avenue makes money.
The Hoffman House last year cleared
100000. The Clarendon and the Ev-
erett are both run by Mr.. Weaver, and
do handsome business. The Bruins
wick has had large time of it. The
Garrisons, up the river, well known as
hotel men, took the Grand Hotel, at
the Forty-second Street Depot, and are
making good success of it. The
Gilsey House is run by Breslin. This
is a sort of elegant family hotel, and
makes money. He cleared last year
100000. The St. James was taken by
q Mr.. Jones, with Senator Jones as
hacker. The hotel was fitted up at an
expense of 100000. The proprietors
could not carry it on, and the hotel is
now in the market.

THE POETS FIRST SONG.


BY WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT.
Already had wandered
Ger half the globe alo-se;
the tongues of other nations:
[ knew them like my own.
Aud great men called me brother
In many distant land iAssaee
And many mighty monarch
In greeting gave his hand. N
Aenid Pompeii's ruins, @HE
Amid the Switzer's SHOWS,
And by the mounds of Egypt,
And where La Plata flows,
! stood and sang my verses,
And what the poet said
Thrilled through the hearts of thousands,
BY eager thousands read.
A star upon my BOSOM,
A heaven within, I came,
All conscious of the glory @
That gathered round my name.
Came from star to visit
The little nook of earth
Wn.re stood long since my cottage
The vale that saw my birth.
And now from the lost hilltop,
It boundary stone beside,
Ger that small shady valley
| cast a look of pride.
And glorying in my fortunes, ga
I said, " [ thank thee, fate; tae
I who went forth so lowly,
That return SO great"
Then up the hill came toiling
A woman, faint and pale,
Ard with two lovely children
Sat looking down the vale.
And soon l heard her singing
A simple little lay.
A train that moved me strangely,
Though why, | could not say.
So timidly I asked her
Whence came that simple rhyme?
From happy days" she answered,
g A long remembered time"
"Oa parting with the maiden
A youth composed the song"
All then ] knew the verses
My first, forgotten long.
And eagerly I questioned,
Who gave the song to thee?
She blushed, No mortal knows it."
She said, "save only me-"
Thou art the poets Mary?
Her silence owned it true.
But whittier went the poet?
Nay, that l never knew"
II act heard of him no further?
. No, never since that day"
Wrote he no other verses?
8 In truth, can not say"
His name9 s'Nay, gentle stranger.
Ask not the name he bore"
Perchance /, too, may know him,
But me he knows no more"
Yet sing again, pray thee,
That simple melody.
Not now, my husband, yonder,
Waits for my babes and me-"
I saw her then descending,
70 where her husband stood,
Upon his arms he took her
And led their little brood
Here was mighty poet,
His name to thousands known,
But IN his native valley
To one and one alone.
And lost in sadder musings
Than when he went away,
He yielded all his honors
To that forgotten Icy.
