found the body, / can say that they
agree that he was found on his back.
The slight bruise on the nose between
the eyes seems at first to have escaped
our observation. But the coroner or
the detectives may have noticed it at
the post-mortem examination, and may
have been working with that fact in
mind. Mr.. Seymour wore q tai, stiff
hat, and the front Of the rim was found
to be bent in. This might have been
caused by the fall that bruised his nose.
and in fact the stiff edge Of the hat
itself might have made the bruise by
being crushed against his nose. For
this to have been the case, however, he
would have bad to fall on his face,
whereas he was found lying on his
back. 1t is possible that he was struck
by something that crushed the front OF
his hat and knocked him TO the ground.
He might then have received the shot
as he was rising to resist his assailant.
It il very probable, however, that the
shot was chance one from some early
celebrator Of the Fourth. Whatever the
cause Of his death solution OF the
mystery will be great relief to u.s."

PLEADING HIS OWN CAUSE.
A Victim of the Late War ConyinCeS
Jury that He Didn't Steal.
New York Sun.

Charles StouthoH, bronzed veteran
Of the late war, was on trial yesterday
in the gen eral sessions, on the charge
of stealing four dollars from Michael
Vaughn, in West Forty-second street,
on the Oath inst. The evidence for the
prosecution was that Stoothotf snatched
the money from Vaughn's hand and
ran. He was overtaken and ar
rested.
"Gentleman of the jury" Stoothoh'
said earnestly, when he testified in his
own behalf, 81 did not steal this money.

"How can you live, StoothoA?' asked

A Spinster on Mount Sinai.
Bombay Gazette.

As this is II somewhat rambling letter
let me conclude it by telling you of a re-
markable traveller, this said felow-pas-
senger of mine and | fell in with at
Alexandria, mature and mild maiden
lady, who calmly told us at the hotel
dinner-table that she had just returned
from visit to Mount Sinai. She went
with none but Arab servants, riding her
self on camel and having three other
camels to carry her people, tents etc.
She was away three weeks in the desert,
going BY one route and returning by an.
other, and staying four days at Mount
Sinai. Here provisions consisted OF
Liebig's extract of meat, condensed
milk and biscuits. Each night she had
her tent pitched, cooked little food,
and, having eaten her supper, slept
peacefully, quite tired out with the long
days ride. On reaching Mount Sinai
she was so disguised with the monks OF
the monastery there-several hundreds
in number, who appear to be jolly good
fellows, for they sit down every night to
dinner each with his bottle Of Medoc by
the side of his plate--that she left their
companionship, and climbed to the top
Of the holy mountain alone by the rude
staircase which the pious care of some
pilgrims cut in the rock century ago.
On reaching the summit, what, she ask
ed us, did we suppose she found there?
| hazarded the guess that perhaps it
was broken table of the law. She re-
piled, "No-a broken champagne bot
Tie" and added that she was 80 indig-
nant she took the pieces and hurled
them over the side Of the mountain.
This beats the advertisement Of War
ren's backing on the Great Pyramid. l
fancy the owners of the champagne
bottle must have been aparty OF Amer
leans who lately set out from Suez TO
follow the track ofthe lsraelites through
the wilderness to Jericho and Jerusa-
sem. But the most curious thing about

The New York Seymour Tragedy.
New York Tribune, sth.

An intimate member Of Bishop Sey-
mour's family said yesterday; "fhe
whole affair is now out Of our hands,
and is being conducted by the detec,-
ives from police headquarters. We III
the house have no theories OF how MIR,
Seymour came to his death, but Of
course we are very anxious for speedy
solution Of the matter. There appears
to have been no motive for murder,
except on the supposition that Mr..
Seymour, on going out, found an in
trnder who, for some reason or other,
became suddenly angry and fired the
fatal shot. Certainly robbery was not
the motive, for nothing was missing
from the body. II is true Mr.. Seymour
had left his vest in the house, and so
was without his watch; but aside from
this there is little satisfaction in such n
theory. As regards the reported con-
tradictions as to the position in which

BOSS SHEPHERDS MINE.
Looking After the Property Of the
Famous Marquis Of Bustamente.

For nearly six months Gov. Shepherd
has been negotiating with the owners
for what is known as the Batopilas
mine, located in the state Of .Chlhua-
hua, about three hundred miles from
Mazatlan, on the coast, and Tucson, the
principal point in Arizona. Two weeks
ago the conditional papers were signed,
and yesterday the adventurous " Boss"
accom- panied by Gov. MeCook, Of Colo
RADIO, Mr.. Randolph. an eminent New
York mining expert, and an expert
enced Mexican miner, started to ex-
anime the property. From Mazatlan
the party will make it's wav eastward
TO the Sierra Madre mountains, Mt the
foot of which is the wonderful mine OF
Batopilas. Up to 1920 the Marquis of
Bustnmente--a name that has prop
nib " been considered rs fabulous as
thu of the explorer Gullivcr, or the
yeracions chronicler Eli Perkins, owned
and worked the Batopias mines, and
when the lucky old man was gathered
to his fathers he hnd extracted there
from not less than 100000. One
day the king of Spain heard of him
and his mine, and straightway ordered
il to bo escheated to the state, but the
crafty Bustamente reckoned that u
part was better thhn the whole, and
loaded up n ship with million dollars
worth of silver bars, which he sailed
with to the palace door and obtained n
reversal of the orders in council. In
1862 the wol-known firm af Wells,
Fargo Il Go. obtained possession OF the
Bustamente property, and have since
owned and worked ii. The yield has
been not near 20 large, but it has been
steady. A great TUNE was prof ectod,
and has been pushed nearly hnlf u
milo into the mountain, crossing eigh-
teen veins, out Of one Of which ~
100000 were taken in six months time.
But Wells Fargo & Go. have grown old,
and counting their wealth by the tens
of millions as they do, hive agreed
finally ON n price ut which they will
sell their famous mine to Gov. Shep-
herd and his associates, and hence the
departure chronicled above.

A Lincoln AnecdOte.

4 Lincoln anecdote is told by a cor
respondent of the Decatur Sun. While
Judge Logan, of Springfield, Ill.,, was
Lincoln's partner, two farmers, who had
Il misunderstanding respecting a horse
trade, went to law. BY mutual consent
the partners in law became antagonists
in this case. On the day of the trial
Mr.. Logan, having bought n new shirt
open in the back, with huge standing
collar. dressed himselfin extreme haste,
and put on the shirt with the shirt
bosom ut the back, n linen coat conceal
ing the blunder. He dazzled the jury
with his knowledge of "horse points,
and, MS the day was sultry, took oil his
coat and summed up in his shirt
sleeves. Lincola, sitting behind him,
took in the situation, ana when his turn
came, remarked to the jury: Gentle
men, Mr.. Logan has been trying for
over an hour to make you believe that
he knows more about horse than
these honest old farmers who are wit
nesses: he has quoted largely from his
horse DOCTOR and now, gentlemen, l
submit to you (here he lifted Logan out
of his chair and turned him with his
back to the jury and the crowd, at the
same time Tipping up the enormous
standing colar), what dependence can
YOU place i'll his horse knowledge when
he has not sense enough to put on his
shirt?' The roars of laughter that
greeted this exhibition, and the verdict
that Lincoln got soon after, gave Logan

Four Women.

Mary Clemmer gives this sketch OF
four ladies she saw in the gallery OF
the senate ut Washington one lovely
day in June: In front seat sat the
stately and lovely daughter of Chief
Justice Chase-Mrs. Sprague; and by
her side bonny face, relieved by
i black hat, its owner looking girl Of

arms bare to the elbows. This was the
young lady who one year ago became

on SAT an elegant young lady in
black, with pink rose III the white
hat, set above very fair and gentle
face. This was Mrs. Bruce the wife OF
the colored senator from Mississippi.
On high seat on the outer gallery sat
young woman, dressed and gloyed
with great care. wearing helmet hat
above broad forehead and a large,
pronounced face--a strong face, wear
ing no shadow, either from the hat or
any inward shrinking. This was Agnes

Four Children at One Birth.
From a Washington Paper.

Hearing OF remarkable arrival on
the thirty-seven minutes past 6 o'clock
train from Baltimore Monday evening,
a Washington reporter hied him to the
Baltimore and Ohio depot. The OBJ
iects of his search had been transferred
to Mr.. Dan O'Brieu's hotel, on the OPP
posite corner. Mrs. John Wilson was
found in q third-Hoor room.
Good evening, Mrs. Wilson; / want
to know all about your babies"
"Well, sir, here they are, all of them,
and all 2 months DID,"
"What do you propose to do here?'
was next querieG.
81 have come to get a living for the
children"
"Where is their father"
"He died month before they were
born, being killed while building
bridge near Wilkesbarre, Pa; he was 4
stone mason"
"Where were they born?'
81 don't know the name of the place.
1t was in the country, among the
Blue Ridge Mountains, in Pennsylva-
MA"
At this juncture shrili treble voice
sounded just behind the reporters
chair. This was taken up from the
other side of the room, and before
many moments four pairs of blue eyes
had opened, and a Babel of baby voices
struck up chorus of ear-splltt:ng
sounds. Busting around, the woman
of much maternity soon had the four
tiny mouths filled with milk-emitting
tubes attached to as many bottles.
Silence reigned once more, and some
further facts were cleaned. Ida,
black-haired beauty, is the first of the
quartette. Next comes Maria, Jane
and John, the latter being the smallest
specimen. All are welcomed and
healthy-looking children, rather below
the average size, except Miss Ida. No
idea of their weight at birth could be
given by their mother. The latter is q
large-boned, hearty-looking woman,
and has borne fifteen children alto
gether, out, excepting one pair of twins,
all have been single births. She was
born in North Carolina, and her hus-
band in Ireland Her age is 10. Had
she any money? No; the railroad men
had paid for her nights lodging aud
board. but after that she didn't know
how she and her babes were to exist.

Dressing the Hair.

They continue to dress the hair rather
lower than last year. Bandeaus are
not becoming to all faces; it is conse-
quently necessary to have several differ
ent ways of arranging the hair. A be-
coming style, especially for a blonde
is to have the hair banged over the lore
head and drawn back on the sides and
fastened with small side combs. The
front hair on the :op is twisted and lies
loose on top of the head. The hair
falls in the back in braid. The
"coiffure Reeamier" consists in having
the hair crimped in front, with very
little hanging over the forehead in loose
curls. The "coiffure" around the head
is arranged in loose curls. Another
way of dressing the hair is to part it on
the side and make loops on top Of the
head toward the front. On either side
is godian knot. The hair is cut
quite short in front, with very few
locks falling over the forehead.-Paris

Miss Kellogg In London.
London Hornet, juno rs

In the part of Aida, Miss Clara
Louise kellogg made her first appear
ance in this country since, if ] recollect
rightly, the year 1873, In the interim
the lady has with truly artistic industry,
been further studying and gaining fresh
experience in her art on the various
town and provincial stages OF the Unit
ed States, and she comes back to us n
very different artist than that ofsix years
ago. Her voice was then thin, shrill,
hard and unsympathetic; it IL now ma
tured, mellow and most pleasing IN
quality, if il has somewhat decreased IN
power. That she has made considerable
advance in histrionic ability there can
he no question, but, above MI, there was
throughout tho performance Of Thurs
day tho consciousness that Miss Kellogg
was thorough and conscientious artist.
There was no attempt to force her voice,
nor the slightest tendency to over-act
Very properly reserving her forces in
the first act, it was not until the great
scene between the daughter of Pharaoh
and her captive handmade III the sec
ond net that Miss Kellogg began to
show tho audience the sort of II artist
who now appeared before them. This
scene, when the Princess seeks to de-
ceive her slave in order to extract from
her tho secret Of her love, with the do.
tiance hurled Mt the head Of Pharaoh
daughter, and the instant change TO Z
tone Of piteous appeal when the slave
recollects she must not disgrace hei
name and kindred by disclosing hei
rank, was most powerfully rendered 10y
both Miss kellogg and Nine. Irelolli
both artists manifesting greater dra
matte force than their beat friends coulc
have suspected. But the greatest sur
prise came in the scenes on the shores
of the Nile, frat between Aida and he
father and secondly between Aida anS
her lover. Although Signor Galass
cannot boast the polished style of Sig
nor Graaiani, who created the part u
Covent Garden, he, fired by the example
Of Miss kellogg, suddenly disclosed re
markable dramatic power, and the pas
sage where Amonasro inyokes tn,

in this important scene and in the still

PRof. HITCHCOCK, OF Amherst college,
lately told his students that brain work,
properly engaged in, was healthful to
BODY and mind; out the brain might
easily be overworked. Suicides follow
school examinations in England, and i'll
health accompanies them in our high
schools. Children cannot use the brain
more than three hours daily, and brain
work is more hurtful here than in
Europe. Let us educators then dis
pense with much Of this intense cram

in our school work are elements Of dis
