An Early Day Story.

The Schuyler mansion in Albany was
the theater of romance in the summer
of 1881. General Schuyler was not
then in active military service, but, at
his house at Albany or at Saratoga, he
was the vigilant eye of the northern de-
partment. His person as prisoner was
desired by the British, and a party of
Indians was sent to capture him. AS
the twilight of sultry day in August
was yielding to the night, Schuyler and
his family were sitting in the great hall
of the mansion; the servants were about
the premises; three of the guard were
asleep in the basement, and the other
three were lying on the grass in front
of the mansion. A servant announced
that person at the back gate wished to
speak with the general. His errand was
understood. The doors and windows of
the mansion were Immediately closed
and barred, the family were gathered in
an upper room, and the general ran to
his bedroom for his arms. Looking out
of a window, he saw the house surround
ed by armed men. To alarm the town,
half mile distant, he'fired pistol from
his window. At the same moment the
intruders burst open the front door. At
that instant Mrs. Schuyler perceived
that in the confusion she had left her in
iant in cradle in the hall below. She
was about to rush down the stairs after
it, when the general interposed and pre-
vented her. Her third daughter, Mar
garet, instantly few down the great
stairway, snatched the sleeping babe
from the cradle, and bore it up to its
mother. One of the Indians hurled a
sharp tomahawk at her. Its keen blade
just grazed the infants head, and was
buried in the railing of the stair.
Meyer, supposing her to be servant,
called to her, as she flew up the stairs:
"Where's your master?" With quick
thought she exclaimed, as she reached
the verge of the upper hall: "Gone to
alarm the town. Her father heard
her, and with as quick thought threw
up window and called out, as to null
titude: "Come on, my brave fellows
Surround the house, and secure the vii
lains |" The alarmed marauders, who
were plundering the generals dining
room of the plate, fed in haste, carrying
away some of the booty. That infant
was the late Mrs. Catherine Van
Rensselaer, Cochran, General Schuyler &
youngest child, who died at Oswego in
the summer of 1857,

APPENDIX.
Sandwich Islands Surf Bathing.

Says a writer: It is very exciting,
but the sea was not very rough. The
surf board is rough plank shaped like
a coffin lid, about two feet broad and
from six to nine feet long. The men,
dressed only in malos, carrying their
boards under their arms, waded out
from the rocks on which the surf was
breaking, and, pushing their boards be-
fore them, swan out to the first line of
breakers, and then, diving down, were
seen no more till they reappeared as a
number of black heads bobbing about
like corks in the water. What they seek
is very high roller, on the top of which
they leap from behind, diving face
downward on their boards. AS the
waves speed on and the bottom strikes
the ground the top breaks in a huge
comber. The swimmers appeared pos
ing themselves on its highest edge by
dexterous movements of their hands and
feet, keeping just at the top of the curl,
but always apparently coming down hill
with slanting motion. So they rode in
maiesticall7, always just ahead of the
breaker, ca red shoreward by its mighty
impulse at tao rate of forty miles an
hour, yet seeming to have a volition of
their own, as the more daring riders
knelt and even stood on their surf
boards, waving their arms and uttering
exultant cries. They were always ap-
parently on the verge of ingulfment by
the fierce breaker whose towering white
crest was ever above and just behind
him; but just as one expected to see
them dashed to pieces, they either waded
quietly ashore, or, sliding off their
boards, dived under the surf, taking ad-
vantage of the undertow, and were next
seen far out at seq, preparing for fresh
exploits. The great art seems to be to
mount the roller precisely at the right
time, and to keep exactly on its crest
just before it breaks.

A Diving Lover Married.

An unusual marriage took place in
Omaha, Neb., the parties thereto being
Spencer Wright and Miss Bessie
Roberts, daughter of United States
Deputy Collector John Roberts. The
ceremony took place at the house where
the young man boarded, as he was too
i'll to be removed elsewhere. The Rev.
L. F. Britt, pastor of the First Metho-
dist church, performed the ceremony.
Mr.. Wright has been failing in health
very rapidly of late, and the physicians
here having given him up, his father,
who is a merchant tailor in New York
city, arrived to take his son home to
die of consumption. Miss Roberts, to
whom young Wright has long been
affianced, decided to go East with her
dying lover, and give him all the care
and attention that her love could prompt
in his dying hours, and the better to
enable her to care for him, she decided
to have the marriage ceremony per-
formed before the journey to New York
was undertaken. While the wedding
was sad in its attendant circumstances,
it was ightened up with the great cheer
fulness manifested by the bride in TAX
ing up her labor of love.

New York MilliOnaires.

The New York correspondent of the
Chicago Tribune says: Commodore
Vanderbilt is easily reached. Any one
can get an interview with him who de.
sires it. H. B. Clafin, the great dry
goods king, occupies small Office in
his great establishment, and customers
and clerks go in and out while he is
there with the utmost freedom. Mr..
Clahin often confers with his clerks and
junior partners at their desks, and is ap
preached by the firm patrons as readily
as if he was one of the salsemen. VIM.
B. Astor was another man always ready
to see any one who called upon him in
his business Office on Prince street.
Commodore Garrison has an Office on
Bowling Green, where his steamship
business has long been done, and, pro.
vided he has no person with him at the
moment, can be seen for the asking.
Jay Gould is always busy, but visitors
by taking their turn can see him at any
time.
The leading bank presidents are &C.
cessible to anybody who may call upon
them.
The heads of the dry goods firfYB oi
Arnold & Constable and Lord & Taylor
can be seen at any time by sending in @
card or name. Indeed, our busiest
men are real democrats, and as q cat
may look at king, SO may the humblest
citizen secure an audience with the
richest without hindrance.
The nearest kin to A. T. Stewart in
the Tycoon business is James Gordon
Bennett. He has o corps of watchmen
and doorkeepers keeping off the rabble,
and after passing three or four waiting
rooms he may be seen.

Presence of Mind.

"Dora" was being enacted in a
Western city where the choice of actors
is not great, and Mary Morrison, on
making her exit to bring on her little
Willie, of four years, was shocked to
find lubberly boy of at least fourteen,
who must go on, as no other was to be
had. The Farmer Allen of the play was
no doubt equally shocked to see Mary
coming upon the stage with boy near
ly as big as herself. What was worse,
the audience began to litter. But Farm
er Allen was equal to the emergency,
and instead of asking "How old are
you, my little boy3" said: "How old
are you, my strapping fellow9" proba-
bly, hoping that the boy would have the
good sense to give an age moro suitable
to his size. The boy, however, with
painful fidelity to the book, and in a
sepulchral voice that made the answer
all the more preposterous, said "Four
to five, grandpapa. "Forty-fve /"
exclaimed the other, cheerfully; "you
look it, my boy, you look it !" There
was laug gh at the moment, but the
play was saved from shipwreck. 1t was
told of famous tragedian that at the
close of an act in which he had been the
prominent character, goose's head was
thrown upon the stage by some one who
had spite against him. The tragedian
picked it up, handed it to one of the
others to take away, and said, with per-
feet nonchalance: The gentleman
who has thrown his head upon the stage
can get it back at the close of the per-
formance.

Centennial Notes.

France appropriates $4,000 to send
mechanics Of every class to the Centen-
NAL. All French industries, including
agriculture, will be represented in the
delegation. .....t..,. .... ....
The Centennial commissioners are
very liberal with passes. Of the large
attendance on the first day only 1925
paid their money, and since that time
this number has run down to 10, 900 and
$4,000.
The non-paying attendants are now
announced as $4,000 in number among
the exhibitors and their assistants, 1,511
among the general officials, 225 among
the Judges, 100 more to the State boards,
and over 500 to the press. 49,. ..
A pretty pavilion has been built by
the Portuguese government nearly op-
posite the Pennsy ivania educational
building. 1t is one story high within
and two without, and is surrounded by
wide piazzas. The Portuguese commits
sioners have their Offices here.
There are two French restaurants on
the grounds. One of them goes on the
principle that nobody will be caught
in it the second time, and that it must
therefore get all the money it can out of
chance customers who have been drawn
to it by it's famous name. The other is
obviously kept by an Americanized
Frenchman.
The partial relief to visitors to the
Exhibition which was given by the abo-
lition of the rule requiring two fifty
cent notes (or pieces) for two persons
instead of one dollar, has been receded
from by the managers. They still insist
upon the fifty cent fraction. They do
this, they say, because of the greater
facility in handling crowds and detect
ing counterfeits.
The parade of the Knights Templars
in June will, if the programme and
promise of numbers in attendance is
fulfilled, be the most gorgeous in the
annals of Masonry. Some rate the num-
Der of expected knights at more than
twenty thousand, exclusive of the Phila-
delphia organizations. Minor vista
tions of military societies, press clubs,
etc., will greatly diversity the scene
until the great day on which Mr.. Evarts
is to enliven it with his oration.

expression of peace rarely seen. In the
center of the room was spread a table
decorated with great taste and beauty.
The damask cloth was snow white, the
silver and china were spotless, while

Advertising Patent Medicines.

Advertisements of patent medicines
furnish support to many so-called reli-
gious papers. Not few of them would
perish but for the aid they receive from
medical quackery. Hence the impor-
tance of the movement in the Baltimore
conference to exclude these advertise
ments from the organs of the Methodist
denomination. Of the quacks who thus
advertise, there are some whose medi-
cines are injurious to the men, women,
and children who use them; and we often
see, in the so.called religious papers,
quack medicine advertisements which
are an outrage upon decency. If religion
be matter Of truth, how can its organs
sustain themselves by such falsehoods 2

A Heroic Wife's Death.

The Detroit (Mich.) Tribune says /:
An old blind man, named Daniel 0.
Heron, has lately been travelling with
his aged wife across the country from
Dubuque, Iowa, begging their way, and
following the line of the railroad tracks.
They reached Ecorse, on the Canada
Southern track, and sat down to rest
upon trestle bridge at point where
the road makes a sudden curve, and
while partaking of lunch were sur
prised by passenger train, which came
around the curve at full speed, and was
upon them almost before they were
aware of their danger. The old lady
sprung to her feet, and made heroic
effort to drag her sightless husband from
the track. She saved his life, but lost
her own, for she had scarcely pushed
him from the fatal rails when the pilot
of the engine struck her with terrible
force. Her body was mangled in a
frightful manner, and fell through the
trestleing into the river. Her remains
were taken to Detroit. Her husband
was injured by the steps of the engine.

UNTIL DEATH DO US PART.
STORY FOR YOUNG WIVES.

"Oh, auntie, I want to die now |
What is life worth without his love p"
The warm light of the fire shed its
bright glow upon the soft, fair, troubled
brow, the deep spiritual eyes, and per-
fectly formed crimson lips of beautiful
young creature, as she threw herself
into chair, and addressed these words
to silver haired old lady at her side:
Hush, Mary, my poor child, you
must not speak thus. What is the
trouble? I have long feared you and
Charles were not living happily, but L
refrained from asking questions, fearing
I might wound your feelings"
"And so you would have done, Aunt
Agnes, had you mentioned the subject a
week ago; for, although I have been
wretchedly miserable for the last six
months, would have gone to the stake
before 1 would have admitted it; but
now everybody knows it, and 1 have
come to you for comfort"
And the young wife wept bitterly.
Everybody knows it ! I do not un-
derstand you, my child. What has
happened ?"
Wiping the tears from here eyes, pretty
Mary Stanwood, the bride of only a
year, begun:
"You know I have never pleased
Charles in anything since we went to

nor do anything else; in word, am no
