LEGEND OF THE IRON MASK.

During the seventeen years confne-
ment of this strange prisoner at Sainte
Marguerite, St. Mars, who brought him
to the fortress, was replaced by Mon
sieur de Bonpart, as governor. The
daughter of the latter, just emerging
from childhood to womanhood, grew up
with this mystery around her. She had
seen the graceful figure of the masked
prisoner promenading at night upon the
terrace and at worship in the chapel,
where he was forbidden to speak, or to
uncover his face, the soldiers in atten-
dance always having their pieces point.

do either. She discovered that her faith
er always treated him with the greatest
respect, serving him bareheaded and
standing, His table service was Of mas
sive silver, his dress of the richest velvet,
he wore the finest linen and most costly
lace. She had heard her father acci>
dentally speak Of him as "the prince"
No wonder that his sad fate occupied
her thoughts by day and his noble fig
ure haunted her dreams by night. She,
too, was very young and beautiful, and
their eyes occasionally met in chapel.
He sang beautifully and was very
skillful performer on the guitar. 1t is

FOR THE FEET.

Among the first things that strike the
traveller in Japan are the wooden sandals
worn by these &c, 900 900 of people. They
have a separate compartment for the
great toe; and make clacking noise on
the street. Stray slippers are also worn,
and traveller setting out on a journey
will strap supply of them on his back
that he may put on new pair when the
old ones are worn out. They cost but three
farthings pair, and leaving the foot free
to the air, we never see those deformities
of the foot in Japan which are so fre>
quent in this country. They are never
worn in the house, being left outside the
door. Passing down street, you see
long rows of them at the doors, old and
new, large and small. 1t is surprising
to see how readily the Japs step out Of
them and pick them up again with their
feet, without stopping, when leaving the
house. Constant habit makes them dex-
ferrous

ATTACHMENT TO NEWSPAPERS.

Some one who seems to know about
the relations of good newspaper to the
family writes as follows:
"The strong attachment Of subscribers
to we'll conducted newspapers is fully
confirmed by publishers, "Stop my pa
per, words Of dread to beginners in
business, lose their terror after paper
has been established for term of years
So long as a paper pursues a just, hon
orable and judicous course, meeting the
wants of its customers in all respects, the
ties of friendship between the subscribers
and the paper are as hard to break by
an outside third party as the link which
binds old friends in business or social
life. Occasional defects and errors in a
newspaper are overlooked by those VINO
have become attached to it, through its
persual, for years. They sometimes be-.
come dissatisfied with it on account OF
something which has slipped into its
columns, and may stop taking it; but
the absence of the familiar sheet at their
homes and Offices for few weeks be,
comes an insupportable privation, and
they hasten to take it again, and posslN
bly, apologize for having it stopped. No
friendship on earth is more constantthan
that contracted by the reader for a JourN
nal which makes an honest and earnest
effort to merit its continued support,
Hence a conscentiously conducted pa
per becomes favorite in the family.

THE GREENBACK MOVEMENT.

The Democracy hold and represent
all that is vital and practicable in the
Greenback movement. They are the
people, and the working people. Every
demand they make is for the interest of
labor and the benefit of the people. But
the agitation this Greenback movement
will cause must have the effect of open
ing the eyes of the intelligent working
people to facts they have overlooked,
and prepare them to meet the real issues
of the future in a common sense way
All third parties, from the nature of the
case, must be ephemeral, and though
this one may make brief disturbance
in our politics, its chief work will be
done in indirect ways through more
powerful and practical bodies,-MsV

Extraordinary Accident in Plttsburg Mill-Re'
markablc Escape Of One Hundred Men from
Being Crushed to Death.
Pittsburg, July 24.-An extraordinary
accident occurred few minutes after
seven o'clock this evening at Painter &
Sons mill in the Thirty fourth ward, exN
traordinary in the manner of the acci-
dent, in the amount Of damage done and
the escape of one hundred men who
were working in the mill few moments
before it fell into a promiscous heap. AT
the time noted, the belt that runs the gov
ernor of the engine in the mill slipped
off or broke, letting on several times
more steam than was necessary to fur
nsh the power required to run the mill.
The engineer seeing the imminent dan
ger, not only got away in the twinkling
Of an eye, but succeeded almost instan-
taneously in communicating his fright to
the balance, and all scratched gravel at
rate that emptied the mill in less than
half minute.
1t was we'll they did, for the tremend-
Gus momentum given to the large fly
wheel was such as to cause it to resolve
itself into a multitude of pieces, each
piece flying with the velocity of can
non-ball. So thoroughly and generally
we're the fragments distributed that they
knocked almost every prop from under
the structure, and caused it to settle into
a heap of ruins.
AS it was supposed that the ruins would
take fire, an alarm was sent in from Box
III. Chief Evans got down in time to
ascertain that there was no danger oi
combustion, before the engines arrived
and they did not go into service. 1t is
difficult to estimate the loss, as it was
impossible to tell the amount OF damage
the machinery had sustained, but it was
supposed the engine was badly damaged
the cylinder head having been blown
out and all parts probably badly Strain
ed and warped. The structure covering
the machinery was iron clad, and, o.
course, not very expensive. The damage
was placed at $40, 1000 at a venture. In
addition to present damage is the ac-
companying suspension ofwork until the
mill is rebuilt. The firm are engaged
in filling large contract for cotton ties

DRAMATIC SUICIDE.

A Lecturer Comes Up to His Advertisement
Chicago, July ga Times special
from Capron, ILL.,, says dramatic sui
eide occurred there Tuesday night,
Early last May George w. Burleigh,
who is an old resident of Ohio, having
lived in various parts of that State, came
to that town ostensibly to start tonsos
rial establishment. Burleigh was man
of varied accomplishments, fine educa-
ton and versatile in conversation.
While at Capron he was often in de-
pressed spirits. Last Sunday he publish
ed card informing the citizens that in
order to crafty an often expressed curl
osity on the part of his townsmen to wit
ness some such tragedy as the hanging
of Sherry and Connolly in Chicago, he
would in the evening Of the 23d inst de-
liver lecture in Thornton Hall, and at
its conclusion crafty them by shooting
himself through the forehead. The price
of admission would be one dollar, and
the amount realized should be used in
his funeral expenses, and the remainder
be invested in works of Huxley, Tyndall
and Darwin, for the town library. His
idea in ending his life was to secure eter-
nal peace by annihilation. At the ap.
pointed time the Hall was crowded, and
after delivering an infdel lecture ofwon-
derful power in manner and tone, which
marked him as an adept; he suddenly
drew derringer, placed it to his fores
head, and despite the attempts to pre-.
vent the rash deed fired and fell into the
arms of two friends who were on the
wings of the stage for the purpose of him
dering the execution OF the design. The
large sized ball literally tore his brains
to pieces. He left request that his body
be forwarded to Cincinnati friends.

THE PARIS MATRIMONIAL MAR
KET,

Paris has done many things for an
idea. Let me picture one of her facts
that she has fostered tenderly and is
now a rampant industry, We 60 into
No. 3 Rue Corando-( | say we, who are
bachelors seeking whom we may matri-
monially devour) )-and we ask for Nine.
Bosquet. And we no sooner ask than
we receive, and 10 she comes. She is
heavy, yet loud and explosive. But she
is business like in the extreme. Nine:
Bosquet invites our wandering steps in
to an inner room neatly, tastefully and
comfortably furnished. Paris rooms are
typical. Polished floor, a Turkey car
pet partly covering it, innocent OF any
more Eastern region than Aubusson,
four chairs, chiefly to be looked at two
or more clocks that are ignorant of " COR
rect time T." much looking glass in places
where other people put plain walls
many vases and many flowers ; a porN
trait of deceased marshal or general,
or some other military functionary, that
catches the constant askant glances of
madame and creates Vesuvian sighs with
Niagara tears now and then. The libra.
ry of madame consist of the Figaro news
paper and the City Directory. WillmadN
anne favor us with her invoice of mer>
chandise? ? She will. Here it is: Fif>
teen orphans from eighteen to twenty>
seven years of age, having each a fors

Twenty-Five young ladies, ages nineteen

of Tony Weller p from twenty-seven to
fiftyteight years of age, having from st.
500 to $4,000. These three categories
orphans, young ladies and widows
comprise the stock in trade of Nine.
Bosquet, who may be, for all know,
one Of the descendants of the Groves of
Blarney. We select two orphans, three
young ladies and one widow. Meetings
are arranged for, and by some pious pro-
clivity of madame the last becomes first

on this with interest and some degree of
anxiety. Madame is reassuring. She
books our name, address and personal

pockets our 50 francs registering fee.
Madame, with infinite composure, sug>
gests that meeting on the matrimonial
question will require some little time to
arrange, and suggests the first week in
July as an eligible date. shall have to
recur, therefore, to this phase of Partisan
industry, and considering that the ther-
mometer at present marks some 90 des

visions of the fifteen orphans, twenty-five
young ladies and twenty>four widows.
