ABOUT OBELIsKS.

London Is about to have all obellsk.
New York is eager to import an obelisk.
Chicago is understood to be advertising
for an obelisk. Obelisks are becoming
fashionable, and all at once the world is
wild for obelisks. These monuments of
tho ancient ages have kept their solemn
watch, like forgotten sentinels, over the
plains OF Egypt during unknown Gen.
turies, and just now have become OBJ
jects of desire among races who were
unknown to earth when those polished
shafts were reared, and whose sculp-
tured sides bear record of heroes who
died fifteen centuries before Christ was
born.
Although the ancient Egyptians
reared the obelisks, they did not leave
US their name for them. That we get
from the Greeks, who called them "obe-
liskos," their name for large awl tor
coarse sewing. Renee, probably, our
modern name of "needles" given to
these tapering columns. The Arabs
called them "Pharaoh's Needless" but
Europeans, doubtless considering such
work than to mans, named them "Cleor
patra's Needles" The obelisks com
monty known as Cleopatra's Needles
were, however, only those found at Alex
andrla, where European visitors were
common. Similar obeIisks are, never
theless, abundant along the Valley Of
the Nile, though seldom of so great a
height and size. There is record, how
ever, of much more lofty obeIisks than
these Of Alexandria, which are about
seventy feet high above their platform
base. Phius erected one about ninety
feet high, and PLolemy PhiIadelphus
erected one one hundred and forty-sX
feet in heighs, in memory OF his wife
Arsiuoe.
In addition to the two obelisks known
rs "Cleopatras Needless" there is
another at Alexandra, which has re-
ceiyed the name of "Pompey's Pillar"
or about the same height. Only one of

obelisk now destined for London. II

by Mehefhet Ali, when Pasha of Egypt;
but, like the gift OF an elephant, the

They came very near losing it on the
voyage, by reason OF a storm, wherein
the craft built On purpose for bearing
this "needle" over the ocean had to be
cut loose from the tug-steamer which
had it in tow. 1t was recovered, how
ever, and now, as we are told, awaits
decision under claim for salvage.
This is not by any means the only obe-
lisk brought to Europe from the Nilotic
Valley. Rome has received about fifty
of these Egyptian obelisks. Only six OF
these, however, were of great size; the
others were small, but equally well
polished, and all bore craven inscrip-
tions. One Of the loftiest of these was
obtained and brought to Rome by Cali
gula. 1t is one hundred and eight feet
high, eight feet square at its base, and
weighs four hundred and fifty tons. 1t

CObbett's CurioHs Career.

, Over eighty years ago, according to
the London telegram, sergeant in
Lord Edward Fitzgerald's regiment OF
foot, while stationed in British North
America, happened TO pass the hut Of a
non-commissioned officer of artillery
and was struck by the sight of young
English lass, the artilIery-man' daugh-
ter, whose rosy and pretty face was
bent low over the wash-tub. The
thought at once struck him that she
was the girl he wanted for wife, and
he shaped his campaign accordingly
with he most satisfactory results But
the battery to which her father belong
ed was ordered elsewhere. and her low
er at parting gave her bag of golden
guineas, telling her to spend what she
needed and keep the rest for two years,
when he would make her his wife. At
the end OF two years they met as agreed,
but instead of being leaner the bag of
gold had received Accommodations from
Tie thrift and energy of the young wom-
an. They We're married of course,
lived happily, and had 4 great many
children The young sergeant was af-
forwards che famous William Goblet.
editor of the Political Register and
member OF Parliament from Oldham.
This in itself might be an old story, for
William Goblet has been dead for
close on 40 years, but one of his daugh-
tiers died in London few days since
at the advanced age of 50. She was
born in Philadelphia in 1875 where her
father was then selling books. Through
out her fathers long and necessarily
active public career Miss Cobbett was
the custodian Of his papers and his
chief assistance rs an amenuensis, and
a large part of his most stirring compo-
sitions went to press in her handwrit- |
ing, and her hand directed the light
nings that were sent forth against minis
tiers and members of Parliament. By
relationship and association she was an
character, and by her death
another living link has been lost from
the chain OF history.

| She was scarcely more than a child.
| humble, poor, and weak; but she said
ia her heart that while she lived no
more boats should be lost on the ''Lone-
ly Rock if light shining through her
window would guide them safely into
the harbor. And so, after watching by
the body of her father, according to the
custom of her people. until it was bur-
led, she laid down and slept through
the day: but, when night fell, arose,
and, lighting 4 candle, placed it in the
window of her cottage, so that IL might
be seen by any fishermen coming in
from sea, and guide them safely into
the harbor. She sat by the candle all
night. and trimmed it, and spun; but
when day dawned she went to bed and
slept.
As many hanks rs she had spun be-
fore for her daily bread she spun still,
and one over, to buy her nightly candle;
and from that time to this, for 30 years, |
through youth, maturity and old age,
she has turned night into day, and in
the snow-storms Of winter, through |
driving mists, deceptive moonlight and
solemn darkness, that northern harbor
has never once been without the light
of her candle.
How many lives she saved by this
candle. and how many meals she won
by il for the starving families of the
boatmen, it is impossible To say. How
many dark nights the fishermen, de-
pending on it, have gone forth, can not
now be told. There it stood, regular as
a lighthouse, steadily as constant care
could make it. Always brighter when
daylight waned, the fishermen had only
to keep it constantly in view and were
safe; there was but one thing to intercept
it, and that was the Rock. However far
they might have gone out to sea. they
had only to bear down for that lighted
and they were sure of safe
entrance to the harbor.
But what do the boatmen and boat
mems wives think of this? Do they pay
the poor woman? No; they are very
poor; but poor or rich, they know bet
ter than that. Do they thank her? No.
Perhaps they think that thanks of theirs
would be inadequate to express their
gratitude; or perhaps long years have
made the lighted easement so familiar
that they look upon it as a matter OF
course, and forget for the time the pa
ient watcher within.-Jea,s Ingelow.

of the coast of one of the Orkney
Islands, and right opposite the harbor,
stood a lonely rock. against which. in
stormy nights, the boats OF returning
fishermen often struck and were lost.
Fifty Years ago there lived on this
island a young girl in cottage with her
father; ANA they loved each other very
tendelly. One stormy night the father
was away upon the sea in his fisher
mans boat, and. though his daughter
watched for him la much fear and
trouble, he did not come home. Sad TO
tell, in the morning his dead body was
found washed upon the beach. His
boat, as he sought the harbor. had
struck against the Lonely Rock and
gone down.
In her deep sorrow, this fisherman's
orphan did not think of herself alone.

Orange Blossoms on the Sly.

Among the passengers who sailed for
Europe to-day on the steamship Repub-
lie were Mr. and Mrs. Hugh johnson, of
this city. Theirs is wedding voyage,
and the story of the marriage will lend
additional interest to their departure.
Mrs. johnson, nee Caroline II. Arnold,
is the daughter of the head of the largest
retail dry-goods house, save one, in this
city. Mr.. Hugh johnson is sort of
head clerk in her papa's establishment.
He is turned forty years OF age, and has
been employed in the house OF Arnold 4
Constable since his arrival in this coun-
try from Ireland, now some twenty
eight years ago. Two years later his
brother Robert came or, and now he,
too, is trusted clerk in the same house.
For some years past Mr.. Hugh Johnson
has possessed the confidence of Mr.. Ar
mold, and of late most of bis evenings
Were spent at the Arnold mansion in
West Twenty-third Street. but his en-
ployer never thought of him as a future
son-in-law. Last Tuesday afternoon
Mr.. johnson, Miss Arnold and
Messrs. Winters and Fleming, two
young clerks at Arnold < Constable's,
drove to the residence of Rev. j. Z.
Lundy,in East Eighteenth Street, where,
after 4 brief delay, the two first named
were pronounced man and wife. The
two clerks having signed the papers as
witnesses, hurried to the store, and Mr..
and Mrs. johnson drove 30 the home of
the Arnolds. Here dreadful row is
said to have occurred, in which stern
father and proud-spiritei daughter
were the principal actors. The upshot
of the matter was that Mr.. Arnold was
finally convinced that johnson came of
one of the best families in Ireland. He
already knew Hugh 10 he an excellent
man of business and Il perfect gentle
man, and so he said he was welcometO
Caroline. But as Mr.. Arnold could not
approve OF elopements on general prin-
ciples, he yielded to the suggestions of
the Constables, who live in Madison Az
enue, that somebody must be punished,
and the two witnesses were summarily
discharged. Mr.. johnson says that on
his return from Europe he will endeavor
to secure the restoration of the two
young men, and that, in the meantime,
they shan't lose any thing by being out

A Remarkable Presentiment.

In March last. while the Inflated
United States steamer Huron was living
in the harbor of Port Royal, South Car
DINA, Lieut.. Arthur II. Fletcher, her
executive officer, left the vessel ON
"A hours leave of absence, and, failing
to return at the expiration OF that time,
the ship sailed for another port without
him. A few days after Mr.. Fletcher
returned to Port ROYAL, reported 10
Commodore j. ii. b. Clitz, senior naval
officer present, and stated to him that
for some time past he had PRESENT.
ment that if he went to sea in the Huron
for the purpose of finishing the cruise
(two years) he would be wrecked.
This feeling took complete possession
of his mind, and he used every means
TO get detached, but the Navy Depart
ment refused to order it without better
reason. When he found that all his
efforts had failed he left the Huron in
the manner stated, with the intention
not to return. For this he was placed
under arrest and tried by court-martial
mt the Washington Maynard in August
last. In defense, he made a settlement
in substance as above, and called Com.
Clitz. Commander George 7. Ryan. of
the Huron, and other officers, TO prove
that before leaving the ship he had told
them of the dread-in fact, horror-he
had of finishing the cruise in the vessel.
This is matter of record, on file in the
Navy Department, and, though such
line of defense was laughed at when
made, the fate of the Huron will cause
many superstitious people to think that
Mr.. Fletcher's preadmonition was fully
proven to be a true one by the wreck off
