Electric Light.

The electric light has been steadily
gaining in popularity until in the larger
European cities il is about to supersede
all other illuminants, having by actual
experiment proved cheaper and better
than anything else, and especially for
lighting streets and large public or pri-
vate edifices, such as churches, theaters,
railroad depots and manufactures. 1t
has the advantage of being uninfiamma
BILE and hence there is no danger of its
setting anything = afire no outlay in coal
is needed, and all expense for extensive
words are dispensed with its production
Is simply and perfectly inoffensive; no
noxious or noisome odors are gener-
ated to poison the atmosphere, and the
quality of light rivals the sun in brilli-
ancy. AS headlight for ocean-steamers
or even river boats, it is invaluable,
shedding a flood of light in every
direction in the thickest weather. A
correspondence of the London Globe states
that the cost of the electric light, in
cluding the running Of special steam
engine, is only twenty cents per hour,
for light equal to three hundred and
fifty gas burners, which is about equal
to twelve cents per thousand feet for
gas, The exemption from danger of
this light has caused a reduction in
rates OF insurance wherever it has been
introduced

"Stand and Deliver"

A writer in the Galveston Ne,rs tells
of recent adventure while travelling
in a stage-coach, in Texas, rs follows
On Saturday morning, at one O'Clock,
near Pegleg, 1 was startled from an in
different slumber in the stage-coach by
the clicking of Winchester and by
voices from without hallooing to the dri-
yer, "Turn into the brush, or l will
shoot the side of your face of; 1 will
not tell you again" At the same time
l saw two men with guns, one bearing
on the driver and the other pointed at
the opening of the coach. There were
two passengers beside myself in the
coach, Lieutenant Kirby, of the Tenth
infantry and graduate from West
Point, assigned to duty at Fort Mcka-
vett; the other, Mr.. Barouch, a DRUM
mer, from New Orleans. My pistol
was rolled up in my blankets, the drum
mer had no arms, but Lieutenant Kirby
was well heeled. We had, from the
time we left the road until we were
stopped in the brush time to consider
what we should do. The drummer and
myself concluded that we were not in
a condition TO risk the fight. But the
Lieutenant insisted upon fight, not on
account Of the money he might lose,
but on account of his profession. We
oyerruled him and were ready to sub
nit to the robbery when the coach stop
ped in the brush, two or three hundred
yards from the road. One at time were
called and stepped for ward, was .obbed.
and sent TO the front of the horses, The
coach was then plundered of money,
jewelry and arms. Each one had hid
den portion of his money and valua-
bles while in the stage. l threw mine
in the hay in the bottom of the coach,
the drummer tucked his away in the
top of the coach, and the Lieutenant
put his in his boot. Mine was found !;
the balance they did not get. The
drummer delivered them twenty dol
lars, the lieutenant five dollars and l
twenty-five dollars. They also got the
lieutenant's and the drummer's watch

Recently the last Mornmorency was
buried in Paris. He was the last Of a
line which gave to France, six Consta-
bles, twelve Marshals, four Admirals,
several Cardinals, Grand-Masters. Am
bassadors. etc. The head of the house
of Montmorency bore the title of First
Baron of France, and the Barons were,
in $50, "Grand Feudatories" Of the
Duchy of France. One Montmorency,
in ll30. married a natural daughter of
Henry l., of England, and in 1l4l the
widow of the French King, Louise lie
Gros. Anthony Montmorency distin-
guished himself at Bouvines in 12l4,
and a third fought at Crecy in 1913.
Anne, the first Duke, was a great SOL
dier, who, after reducing the army OF
Charles V. by famine, was called the
French Fabius. Francis, who was the
fourth Marshal, died at the early age of
40, after having escaped, as if by mir
acle, being massacred during the st.
Bartholomew. The father of the Mont
morency who had just died. had a
strange career. He was born in 1857.
He served against us in the American
War of Independence. and, like many
other French noblemen--like Lafayette,
Rochambeau, de Noailles, the La
meths, ctc.,-he adopted the principles
of the Revolution. On the memorable
4th of August, 1898, he was one of the
great mobiles who voted in favor of the
suppression of feudal rights, and in
June, the following year, he supported
a bill for the abolition of all titles of
nobility. He emigrated in 1892, butre-
turned to France on the fall Of
Robespierre, Napoleon made him a
Count on the same day that he made
Fouche a Duke. Under the Restoration
he became Royalist once more, and
was appointed. first, Aide-de-Camp to
the COMPETED d. Artois (afterward Charles
Y. }, then Minister of Foreign Affairs,
and then Ambassador to the Congress
of Verona; in 1922 he was named Gov
ernOr to the Due de Bordeaux (now
known as the Compte de Chambord) !;
in 1925 he was elected member of the
Academy; and the year afterward he
closed his eventful life. The last Mont
morency took no part in politics, and
was merely known to small circle OF
friends.
