The History Of a Family.

A Paris correspondent, in writing of
persons who became distinguished or
noteworthy during the French Revolu::
ton of 1889, says the youngest daugh-
ter of the lawyer who defended Char
lotte Corday, in 1898, died recently in q
garret at Darmstadt, in abject poverty
After Charlotte Corday had assassinated
Marat, none of the Paris lawyers had
courage enough to defend her. NJ. Lux,
q lawyer of Mayence, volunteered to de-
fend her, and did with great ability.
His courageous act, however, cost him
his life. He was guillotined shortly af-
ter the execution of his fair client. He
left two daughters, the eldest of whom
drowned herself in the Rhine, on &C
count of unreciprocated affection, in
1907. The youngest married mer-
chant Of Havre, who soon after became
bankrupt, and who also committed sui
eide. The widow lived over thirty-five
years in garnet, supporting herself by
literary toll and drudgery.

The Vinegar.Jug Puzzle.

The Interior tells of smart boy who
was an adept in measuring liquids: 'i
You remember the eight-quart Jug
was full of vinegar. The grocer had an or
der for four quarts, but had only three
quart and fve-quart measure in his
store. The boy was not allowed to pour
out and waste any Of the vinegar, and
he had no other vessel. ..a..
So the first thing he did was to pour
the three-quart measure full, and then
empty it into tho fve-quart measure.
Then he poured his three-quart measure
full again, and filed the fve-quart meas
ure out Of it. gs.. tls,s5l, N ..4,.@, .[t..
Then his vinegar stood thus: Five
quarts in the fve-quart measure, one in
the three-quart measure, and two in the
eightrquart jug. ;s.,FS5 + +&.t..,-
He scratched his head q moment, and
then emptied the fve-quart measure
back into the eight-quart Jug. ..s4
2 Then he poured the one quart which
he had in the three-quart measure into
the fve-quart measure. Next he poured
his three-quart measure full again out
of the eight-quart Jug and emptied it
into the fve-quart measure, which had,
| as we have said, one quart in it. W.
This made four quarts in the Jug, and
four in the fve-quart measure.
Next, our smart boy offered to do all
the measuring with the two measures
and the Jug ID ts5fIN {,r.s,e,
AS will be seen in the above, he had
measured one quart, two quarts, three
quarts, four quarts, five quarts, si1
quarts, seven quarts, eight quarts, al
with nothing but his three, five, and
eight-auart measures to do. it with.

Misdfrected Letters.

An exceedingly curious illustration OF
the precision with which the New York
Postofice is conducted was had few
days ago in the department. in which
misdirected letters are deciphered. A
letter from Ireland came directed to
my Mother, New York, America" Of
course it was an impossibility to tell to
whom the letter belonged, and prepare
lions were made to send it to the dead
letter Office. The same day, however, a
woman called 1t the general-deivery
widow and asked for letter from her
son. The gentleman who had charge of
the deciphering bureau was Immediate
~ struck with the coincidence, and sent
for the letter alluded to above. He
asked the woman where her son lived.
and when she gave the name of the
town it was found to be the same as the
postmark on the letter. Other INQUIRIES
justified the official in delivering the
letter to the woman, but he insisted that
she should open it there, and, on examin-
alton, it was discovered that it was from
her son, and that she was the person for
whom it was intended. OF course if she
had asked for q letter addressed to her
name the answer would have been that
there was no such letter. Among other
curious letters received few days ago
was one addressed to u. II. johnson,
wagon and pillow maker; all kinds Of
work, promptly attended to-; America"
The writer had evidently been instruct
ed to address in reply according to the
printed letter-head on which the COM
munication had been written, and had
literally followed Instructions except in
giving the name Of the town and State.

A Tender Husband.

When the news 81 the Adelphis a.
plosion reached Danbury, q citizen,
whose wife had sailed from New York
that morning by way Of the boat, took
the first train for Norwalk. They had
never at the best been . very loving
couple, but they were eminently re-
spectacle. He had pursued his way and
she had gone hers, each finding pleasure
in characteristic channels. But now,
with the presence of her death upon
him, the old tenderness with which he
had won her came back to him, and dur
ing that long and dreary ride to the sea-
side his thoughts were busy with the
past. He could recall with painful dis
tinctness every help he had refused
her, every cross word he had given her,
every GOODNESS he had shown her. All
the little acts governed by petty selfish
ness of which he had been guilty, and
which had passed from his memory IN
the doing, now rose up before him as
deeds of monstrosity at whose presence
his heart sank trembling away. II
As the last train reached Norwalk. he
hurried out on his wretched search, ask
ing here and there for intelligence Of
her, his white lips and trembling frame
testifying most eloquently to, his anx-
iety. At last his search was rewarded,
and he found her. Not dead and mu-
tilated, but alive and unframed. It was
q happy meeting-not demonstrative,
because both were sorely out of practice
in that, but he was relieved of q terrible
weight on finding her as he did. H..

Suffering In England.

Great distress prevails among the Ia
boring poor throughout England and
Scotland-indeed, throughout the whole
OF Great Britain. The large manufact-
uring towns are the chief centers of
suffering, thousands of unemployed men
and starving women and children being
dependent upon charity. Measures Of
relief have been taken, but as yet the
distress is great. Many Of the middle
class poor, who will not appeal to
charity, suffer keenly.

as to Mr.. Taylor's memorable first jour
ney through Europe. Doubtless be re-
ceived aid and encouragement in many
ways after he had proved what manner
of man he was. But he gives himself
what ought to be accepted as the true
version. He started on that journey
with $40 in money, and of this he got
$50 from Joseph R. Chandler, then pro-
prietor and editor of the United States
Gazette, and $50 more from Samuel D.
Patterson, editor of the SATURDAY.
Evening Post, both of Philadelphia.
These two sent him further remittances
while on his journey. The most of the
remaining $40 came from the profits of
little volume of his poems, republshed
from the pages of Grahan,'s Philadel-
