The Jaw Mansion at Rive.

About 1744, Peter Jay, a prosperous
merchant, having retired from business
in the prime Of life, looking around for
some quiet place to pass his remaining
days in ease, purchased a large estate in
Rye, and settled his family there, while
his son John-who was to become an IL
lustrious parsonage in the early history of
the Republic still child. Here
the future Chief Justice passed a part Of
his youth, going from home to a school,
and to Kings College in New York when
he was fourteen years Of age. The estate
at Bedford. where the present John Jay
resides, passed into the possession of the
Jays through the marriage of Mr.. Peter
Jay into the family of the Van Coatlandts.
and afterward became the residence Of
Governor Jay. Dr.. Jay, grandson of
the governor, now lives on the estate at
Rye-a beautiful place with green mead
ows sloping from the back of the mansion
down to the broad waters Of the Sound.
The "ha-ha" fences, being sunken stone
walls, offer no impeachment to the view,
and only stately elm here and there
breaks the smooth sweep Of meadow lands.
In the spacious mansion itself, which
some forty years ago replaced the old
house, there are many things to carry one
back to Colonial days. The robe of
office worn by the first Chief Justice,
made IF satin and faced with rich salmon
colored silk, tells of the early times be-
fore the influence of Jefferson had created
a sense of republican simplicity.
A portrait Of the Chief Justice, The
joint production Of Gilbert Stuart and
that stately old painter and patriot,
Colonel Trumpull, is Of much interest
even in purely artistic sense, as it is one
of the most thoroughly painted and best
of all heads Of Stuart within the writer's
knowledge. It is not, however, at all
comparable in this respect to three-quar-
ter length Of an old lady-a Van Cortlandt-
painted in Holland i'll 1922, a work which,
while its author is unknown, is still of
amazing quality and we'll worth going a
long way to see.
There are two portraits IN the country
house of Mrs. Van Rensselaer,, on Mansur-
ing Island. They are portraits of Peter
Stuyversant and his wife, painted by
Vandyck, and have never before been en-
graved. They are more vigorous in char
acterization than many of the latter por-
traits by Vandyck, and less hammered.
The wife Of the testy old Governor was
a Bayard, daughter of a learned and dis
tinguished Hugenot, and it is through
this family (which Mrs, Van Rensselaer,
is a member, that the portraits have been
preserved-from the hands of the 'srestor-
err as we'll as from all other disasters.

Christina, Queen of Sweden.
Tipsley's Magazine.

Tinsley's Magazine.
The snow fell heavily on the dull De-
cember morning when Christina first saw
the light in the quaint old palace at
Stockholm. 1t was the 9Th day of the
month, 1926. Loud were the lamenta-
tions Of the Queen and attendants at the
appearance Of the newborn babe, untlat-
terlngly described by the chroniclers as
dark, ugly girl, who cried with shrill,
rough voice''. None ventured for a
time to explain matters to the King. At
length his sister, the Princess Catherine,
took the infant in her arms, and an
nounced to him that he had a daughter,
Gustavus, too noble to show the natural
chagrin that he felt, kissed the child. and
said: 'Iet us thank God, sister; hope
this girl will be as good as bow
Catherine reminded him that he was
still young; but he hastily replied: st
am content, and pray God preserve my
daughter" adding, smiling, ''she will be
an arch girl ;she puts tricks on us 50 ear
ly." The King, soon reconciled to her
sex, loved her with passionate fondness.
When quiet a babe she accompanied him
in various and incessant journeys through
his dominions, so that from the very be-
ginning the soft tenderness of motherly
cherishing, the indescribable caresses
which are to the young life as sunshine
to the flower, were wanting to the little
Christina; her mother, Eleanor, gentle,
delicate woman, having neither strength
nor the inclination for camp life. On

The Dignity of Bells.

With what strange and solemn men,
orles have bells yet extant been asso-
ciated! The long green bell in the lean
ing tower of Pisa, said to date back to
the thirteenth century, which has rung for
ages as the sad professions of criminals
have passed over the bridge to execution
the very bell which, perchance, an
nounced to the awe-struck Pisans that
the wretched Ugolino, starved to death at
the bottom Of the tower, had at length
ceased to breathe. The great Carolus at
Antwerp, which first rung in 1867, when
Charles the bold entered the city; the
storm-bell in Strasburg cathedral, which
still warns the traveller of the tempest
seen from afar sweeping over the Vospes;
the small bell Horrida, the tocsin, 1916,
covered with mildew, which hangs high
up in Notre Dame at Antwerp, and is
never rung, by reason of its age and in
firmlties: the gate bell in many an old
fortified town, that still sounds at the
shutting and opening of the city portals
the curfew, which, from time immemo-
rial, has rung, over the flats of Cam
bridge and the fens of Ely, and still
greets the ears Of the freshman, remind
ing him Of the time when the neighbor-
hood was one waste of perilous and poi
sonous marshes; the old Tourney bells.
which from their city belfrey greets the
silent, colossal five towers of the grandest
church in Belgium, and strike the ear of
the traveller as he hurries along the high
road from Lille, almost before the beacon
on the summit Of the belfrey salutes his
eyes-and these are chance specimens
that arise in my memory at random.

In the Trenches at Cold HarbOr.

A writer in the New York Sun, who
was young gunner in the Federal army,
gives this incident 0. life ii the trenches
at Cold Harbor, Va, during the terrific
lighting early in June, 1864: By daylight
we had our earthwork finished, and were
safe. The heavy artillery, armed as in
fantry, were some sixty or seventy yards
below Us. We being on the crest of the
hill, they were below us. Behind us
were a couple Of Delaware regiments, the
two having about 140 men combined.
Back OF us was a ravine, n alder swamp,
and in the thickets bordering on the
swamp was a spring of clear, cold water.
The men in front Of us had to go to this
spring for water. They would draw lots
to see who should run across the danger
GUS open grounds. This settled, the vic
tim would hang fifteen to twenty can
teens around him; then, crouching low
in the rifle pits, he would give great
jump, and when he struck the ground,
was running at the top Of his speed for
our earthwork. Of course every Confeti-
crate sharpsheoter in range fired at him.
Some Of these men were shot dead; but
generally they ran into the eartbwork
with a laugh. After filling their canteens,
they would sit and smoke and talk,
nervin@ themselves for the deadly return.
Adjusting the canteens, they would 90
out Of the works on a run, and run back
over the bullet-swept course. Sometimes
they would come to us in pairs. One
day two Albany men came leaping into
our battery. After filling their canteens,
they sat and talked Of the beauti-
ful city on the Hudson, and finally start
ed together for the rifle pit. 1 watched
through an embrasure and saw one fall.
Instantly he began to dig little hollow
with his hands in the sandy soil, and in
stantly the Confederate sharpshooters
went to work on him. The dust flew up
on one side Of him, then on the other.
The wounded soldier kept scraping his
little trench in the sand. We called to
HIM. He answered that his leg was bro
ken below the knee by rifle ball. From
the rife pit we heard them call to him to
take Oft his canteens, tie the strings to-
gether and set them on one side. He did
so, and the thirsty men in the pits drew
lots to see who would risk his life for the
water. I got keenly interested in this
dicing with death and watched intent.
A soldier springs out Of the pit. Run
ming obliquely, he stoops as he passes the
canteens grasps the strings turns, and in
a flash is safe. Looking out I see the
dust rise III little puffs around the wound
ed man, and with quickening breath feel
that his minutes are numbered. I note
a conspicuous man in the rifle pit, and
recognize him as the comrade of the strick-
en- soldier He calls to his disabled friend
saying that he is coming for him, and
that he must rise as he comes near, and
cling to him when he stops. The hero
leaves the pit on a run; the wounded man
rises up; the runner clasps him in his
arms; the arms of the wounded one twine
about his neck, and he is carried into our
battery at full speed. To the honor of
the Confederate sharpshooters be it said
that when they understood what was be-
ing done they ceased shooting.

A FerOciOus Bulldog.

A bulldog that was stolen from Lord
Dutferin in Canada, year ago, turned up
lately IN Tere Haute, Ind, where she
killed Texas steer in street fight. Col.
Burns, of Evansville, Ind, bought her for
$110, and fastened her in his stable. The
Evansville Journal Of recent Wednes-
day said: yesterday, while the colonel
was leading horse worth 81 900 past the
dog, she leaped toward the horse with
such tremendous force that the collar
snapped like string. She buried her
teeth in the horses flesh. Col. Burns
seized the dog by the throat with both
hands, and hurting her back, threw him
self upon her as she fell. She tore his
shirt into shreds. At last, with his heavy
boot heel he planted blow on the fore
head which stunned the beast" The
journal OF Thursday said: "Col. Burns
was sitting on horseback at his front gate
yesterday morning, when the spotted
bulldog dashed out the side gate,
having snapped the cast-iron chain.
He whipped his horse into gallop
and followed. Capt. APP, of the po-
lice, was coming down the street in
his barouche when the dog dashed to-
ward the horse and made aleap at his
throat. The horse SHE'D to escape the
danger, overthrowing the barouche, and

met lad and seized him by the collar Of
his coat. Both rolled off the plank walk
and down the embankment. Col. Burns
attacked the dog with the butt of heavy
whip and knocked her senseless. The
horse ran away during the fight and has
not been recovered. The dog was hauled
home still senseless." The Journal of
Friday said: "Marshal Langolf went to
the stables to see the dog Yesterday. She
lazily yawned and pretended to fawn,
while her great red chops hanging down,
were opened and closed indolently. Ian
golf went to pat her head gently, when
she leaped at his throat. THE stout trace

Ingenuity of Fraud.

In 1879 gentleman Of eminence in the
mercantile world was grieved by the con-
tents of a letter which he received from
correspondent at Hamburg, the
post-mark Of which it bore. From the
statement it contained, it appears that
person most minutely described had de-
frauded the writer, under extraordinary
circumstances, of $4,000. The letter con-
tlnucd to say information had been OBJ
tanned that the defrauder- THE dress and
person whom it described was occasion
ally to be seen on Dutch walk Of the road
exchange. The object Of the writer was
to to induce his correspondent to invite
the party to dinner, and by any moral
force which could be used, compel him
to return the money; adding, that if he
should be found amendable to reason and
evince any signs of repentance, he might
be dismissed with friendly caution and
five hundred pounds, as he was near
relative OF the writer. AS the gentleman
whose name it bore was profitable cor
respondent, the London merchant kept
keen watch on the Dutch walk, and was
at last successful in meeting and being
introduced to the cheat
The invitation to dine was accepted; );
and the host, having previously given no
tice to his family to quit the table soon
after dinner, acquainted his visitor with
the knowledge Of the fraud. Alarm and
horror was depicted in the countenancc
OF the young man, who, with tones ap-
parently tremulous with emotion, begged
that his disgrace might not be made pub
lie. 10 this the merchant consented.
The visitor sighed deeply; but said to re-
turn all was impossible, as he had unfor-
tunately spent part Of the amount. The
remainder, however, he proposed to yield
instantly, and the notes were handed to
the merchant, who, after di1ating on the
goodness of the man he had robbed, con-
cluded his moral lesson by handing him
check for $500 as proof of his beneti-
cencc. The following morning the gen
tleman went to the banker to deposit the
money he had received, when to his great
surprise, he was told that the notes were
counterfeit. His next inquiries were con
corning the check, but that had been
cashed shortly aftef the opening of the
bank. He Immediately sent an express
to his Hamburg correspondent, who re-
piled that the. letter was forgery, and
that no fraud had been committed upon
him. The whole affair had been plotted
by gang, some of whom were on the
continent and some in England. History
