his boy met him on the doorstep clapping
his hands and exclaiming: Papa has come

THE ORIGIN OF BILLIARDS. Any OH,
may believe this who can: /: 1t is not gen,
orally known that billiards was FIRST in
vented by pawnbroker. About the mid
die of the 10th century there was one VIM.
Kew, pawnbroker. who, dining wet
weather, was in the habit of taking down
three balls, and, with yard me sure push
ing them, billiard fashion, from the coun-
ter into the stalls. In time the ifi of a
board with pockets suggested itself. A
black letter manuscript says: Master
William Kew did make one board whereby
a game is played with three balls, and all
the young men were greatly recreated
thereat, chiefly the you, g cleresmen from
st. Pawles, hence one of ye strokes was
named canon, hayi been invcnted by
one of ye said clergymen. The game is
now known by the name IF B.r-yard, be-
cause William or Bill Kew did invent the
same. The stick is now called kew or
cue.' 1t is easy to see how Bill yard has
been modified into billiard and the kew or
kne into cue is also apparent"

An Adventure Q: Gail sccaurz.

| II was i'll SpaDdan that the adventure oc-
CURED that Won Carl Schurz his knight S
| spurs-T oAe May u.s. medieval figure
| ia this unknishtly age. But the whole
adventure is thoroughly romantic. Before
the troubles of 194s, Schurz was studying
medicine at Bonn, and there became init
mate with the poet and professor Gottfried
kinkel. This Kinkel was wild, visionary
writer, but seems to have possessed that
personal magnetism which secures the
truest and most self-sacrificing friends.
D~tL i.~ s-..a 5eh,,ra e~olr part ia tho
called Baden revolution of 1S49, a cam
paign which, so far as the revolutionists
were concerned, resembled more closely a
Fenian invasion Of Canada than any ,other
military event with which | am acquaint
ed. At the breakup those patriots who
were able crossed the frontier into France
or Switzerland, Schuiz reaching the latter
country: but Kinkel was .5., mt and locked
up in the peniteni larry ~ Spandau, where
he spent the most Of his time in spinning
yarn for the governments benefit. His
friends, however, were not going to let him
pine away at this useful but uncongenlal
employment without making an effort to
release him from it. His wife-a woman
of great energy of character-wrote to
Schurz, asking if he We're ready to help,
and be came at once to Bonn to see her.
From there he went with letters to some
trustworthy persons in Berlin, notably to a
certain physician there; and these two,
with the assistance OF !. coun ry gentleman
living in the neighborhnud of Spandau,
arranged and carried ont the daring at
tempt. They succeeded in uribns turn
key, who. between eleven and twelve
O'clock at night, having provided himself
with the duplicate key to kinkers cell
which hung i'll the prison office, and a rope,
let the latter out, and got him on To the
roof of building whence he was let down
to the street where Schurz and the physi-
clan were waiting. They conducted hlm
with all possible haste to "a neig ghborng lnn,
where suit Of plain clothes were awaiting
him, the doctor taking in exchange his
prison gear, which he intended, and, to his
sorrow, actually did, preserve as relic,
though implored by his friends to destroy SO
dangerous 4; possession. For not long az
terward. he being suspected Of having had
a hand in Kinkels fight, his house was
searched, and the clothes being found, he
was sentenced to long term Ia prison,
and died there. This, however, is ii-
gression. After the change of dress was
effected, the before mentioned coantry
gentleman appeared with a carriage and a
span of fine horses, himself ON the box,
and after Schurz and Kinkel had got in,
started for the Mecklenberg boundary.
They reached in safety the port Of Rostock,
being everywhere helped on by trustworthy
friends, and from there the two sailed for
Scotland in a vessel dispatched by its gen.
erous owner solely to convey them. NJ.

Success Of the Heavy Iorses.
Western Agricullurist.

There is at present no single interest ia
all the improved stock that has made great
or progress and achieved a greater financial
benefit to Western farmers than the heavy
horse interest. The Introduction into our
Western States by importation from France
and Scotland of the Percheron-Normana and
Clydesdale horses has been of great benefit
in increasing the market value of Western
horses, and while all other stock has de-
clined, the heavy horses, though rapidly in
creasine in numbers, are in constant demand
at what many are pleased to call fancy
prices. We find the demand still increas-
ing beyond the supply. The demand is
becoming quite general for the imported
and homebred full blood horses for breed
ing. and the best high grades for the same
purpose command prices beyond the reach
of farming or freighting purposes, while
the half-bloods are eagerly bought up for the
city markets for freighting, where they are
giving the very best satisfaction. Active,
powerful, hardy, they are attractive and
useful, and while team of such horses are
desirable on the farm, the tempting prices
paid by the horse buyers beguile them from
the plow and the reaper, where they can do
snch grand work. to the busy streets for the
heavy freighting of manufactures and mer-
chandise.
The small horses have severely felt the
depression of the times, and no longer pay
for raising, while the trotters, alas are but
little better with nothing for training.
The success of the heavy horses makes
Western farming more successful, as al
most every farmer raises one or two sur
plus horses to sell every year, and if they
are OF tie heavy horse fraternity. they COM
mand remuner,tive prices above other
farm stock, and with the present rapid
progress, we hope soon to see more of these
heavy horses ON every farm. The full
bloods have proved to be powerful breeders
and make an excellent cross with our best
common mares, which has been abnndantly
nroyen the last ten years.

Not a Marrying. Girl.

They were seated together, side by side
on the sofa, in the most approved lover
fashion-his arm encircling her taper waist
etc.
''Lizzie," he said, "you must have read
my heart ere this; you must know how
dearly love you."
"Yes, Fred; you have certainly been
very attentive" said Lizzie.
"But, Lizzie, darling do you love me
Win you be my wife2"
"Your wife, Fred Of all things no
No, indeed, nor any one else's."
Lizzie, what do you mean9"
"Just what say, Fred. Ive two mar
ried sisters.'
Certainly and Mrs. Hopkins and
Mrs. Skinner have very good husbands, l
believe.'
$50 people say but wouldn't like to
stand in either Mays or Nell's shoes; that s
ALL"
"Lizzie, you astonish me-
"Look here, Fred I've had over
| twenty-five sleigh rides this winter, thanks
to you and my other gentlemen friends"
Fred WINGED little here, whether at the
remembrance of that unpaid livery bill, or
at the idea of Lizzie's sleighing with her
other gentlemen friends, cannot positively
answer.
"How many do you think my sisters
have had? Not the sign Of one, either of
them. Such pretty girls as May and Nellie
we're, too, and so much attention they used
to have -
"Now, Lizzie"
"I am fond of going to the theater oc-
casionally, AS well as lecture or concert
sometimes, and / sholdn't like it if pro-
posed attending any such entertainment to
be invariably told that times we're hard and
my husband couldn't afford it, and then to
have him sneak off alone.'
"Lizzie, Lizzie"
"And then if once in dogs age he did
condescend to go with me anywhere in the
evening, shouldn't like to be left to pick
my way along the slippery places. at the
risk of breaking my neck, he walking along
unconsciously by my side. I'm Of depen-
dent, clingipg nature. and | need the pro-
lection OF strong aIm."
"Lizze, this is all nonsense"
"rm the youngest in our family, and
perhaps I'vs been spoiled. At all events,
know it would break my heart to have my
husband vent all the i'll temper which he
conceals from the world Oh my defenceless
head"
"But, Lizzie, promise"
"Oh, yes, Fred know what you are
going to say-that you'll be different but
Mary and Nell have told me time and again
that no better husbands than theirs ever
lived, no, Fred; as a lover, you are just
perfect, and shall hate awfully to give
you up. Still, sou are bent on marrying,
there are plenty of girls who have not mar
ried sisters, or who are not wise enough to
profit by their example, il they have. And
don't fret about me, for I've no doubt can
find some one to I'll your place"
But before Lizzie had concluded, Fred
made for the door, muttering something
"unmentionable to ears polite"
"There p exclaimed Lizzie, as the door
closed with bang, g knew he was no
better than the rest. That's the way John
and Charlie swear and slam doors, when
things don't go just right. He'd make
perfect bear of a husband, but Pm sorry he
cap,a IN the point SO SOON for he was lust a
splendid beau"

lie Was at Gettysburg somewhere about
the year 1863, his parents having been
slaves, w.lo lived just across the Maryland
line. For nearly half century he lived
in the neighborhomi of Eleventh and Mar

turned the church on Eleventh St, above
Chestnut, into the present opera-house,
Pele was looked upon as model ''pigger"

He was il sort of Handy Andy around, and
yesterday morning even built the fires in
Kern's saloon. After his chores were
through he said he was " a-gittiu' weaker
an weaker, like de ole rye dots lef un-

room, where the darkey's life leaked out
without SO much as struggle. Pete was
known and his acquaintance sought by
all ambitious personators of negro charac-
ter and singers Of negro songs. In appear
ance he was the perfect plantation hand,
and this the stage men tried to catch. He
was lame in one leg, and Carncross would
get his trnnpe around Pete so that they
could initiate the limping. The limp is
now seen on all the minstrel stages through
out the country.
Pete was often behind the scenes at
the opera house, and rolled ovel

The SON OF A KING.
DEATH OF THE PRINCE MURAT, NEPHEW
OF THE GREAT NAPOLEON.

A dispatch from London announces the
death of Prince Lucien Charles Joseph
Francois Napoleon, second son of Joachim
Murat King of Naples (1SO5), by Caroline
third sister of Napoleon I. He was born
at Milan May 16, 1903, and on the over.
throw Of the empire and execution of his
father, in 1915, was obliged to take refuge
under foreign flag. For some years he
resided at Trieste, subsequently at Venice,
and in 1924, took ship for America to join
his uncle, the ex-King jerome, and his
brother Achille. The vessel on which he
sailed was wrecked on the Spanish coast,
and he was taken by the hcspitable Span
iards and incontinently cast into prison.
Eventually he regained his liberty and car
ried out his projected journey to the Unit
ed States. Here he married Miss Caroline
Georgiana Fraser, an English lady, and
after an unsuccessful attempt to maintain
himself by entering into commercial affairs
he was forced to depend for subsistence
upon "le produit dune ecole de .jeunes
files tenue par da le femme" Twice he
endeavored to return to France-in 1889
and 1S44-but each time was refused per-
mlsion by the govel lnment to return to the
country. In 1S47, the death of his wife's
uncle made him heir to the pretensions Of
the Murat family, and the proclamation Of
the Republic of '4S enabled him to return
to France. This change in his affairs put
an end to the school for little girls kept by
madame and to his very unroyal revenue
derived from that establishment. He was
elected to the Assembly from the Depart
ment of Lot, vigorously supported the
policy of the Prince-P President and was re-
turned at the next election from the De-
partment Of the Seine. In October, 1849,
be was nominated Plenipotentlary at the
Court of Turin, and was made Senator
January Is, 1862, and was allowed to bear
the title of Prince by decree issued in the
following year. His name was freely used
in connection with the succession to the
Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, and after the
expulsion of the Bourbons he made a for
NAL claim upon the crown, claim that
was not admitted. His latest appearance
ance in public was as a companion Of Ba-
zaine at the surrender of Metz

Mrs. Liseeia's Present Residence.

to know if the statement is true
cit is sad fact that Mrs. Abraham Lin

to America lest she may again be placed in

The only ground for the above statement
consists in the fact that Mrs. Lincoln has

chooses, so far as we kuow. TO reside in the
romantic little city of Pau, near the base of
the Pyrenees in Southern France Tie
fact that heis in almost weekly cordial and
