DtFoe's Daughter.

Chicago Timss.l
Three great grand daughters of
Daniel DeFoe, author of "Robin-
son Crusoe," father Of the modern
English novel, and a political
writer Of force and f~earlessness, are
in penurious circumstances, and a
formal appeal for aid in their be-
half has been made. All are un-
married and over fifty years of age.
In their youth they we're well to do.
One of them has been able to earn
about seven shillings u week as a
buttou-hole maker; another worked
hard with her needle until disabled
by rheumatism, and the other earns
a small pittance by teaching Eng
lish in France. The committee
having the matter in charge have
issued an appeal, from which the
following extract is made: "De-
Foes fame as the writer of the
History of the Plague and other
popular works, his services in pro-
noting the union between England
and Scotland, and his writings in
defense of civil and religious lib
erty, and his sufierings in tho cause,
would alone entitle these poor wo-
men to public charity; but as the
author Of a book which has been
the source of innocent amusement
to a greater number of his coun-
trymen than any other work in the
language, their claim on national
sympathy is of no ordinary kind"
