AneCdote of John Brouqham.

1t is one of the TRADITIONS of the
late John Brougham' life-as is not I'M
common with handsome actor-that he
had many tender experiences with silly
girls who fell in love with him. One of
these signed her own name to her bilIets,
and wrote repeatedly, despite the dis
couragement of silence. She was very
DESTROYS to meet the comedian, be-
seeching again and again the privilege of
an interview. Finally, Brougham
named time and place for their meeting.
She came promptly, and proved to be
very young, decidedly pretty, and of
good social position. She was well edu-
Gated and clever, too Instead OF max
ing love to her, he read her moral lee
ture; talked to her literally like a father;
pointed out the great danger of her CON
duct, and told her that most men would
take advantage of her innocence. at
sounds very egotistic," he added, g for
me to say it, my child, but all actors are
not John Brougbams." She was moved
TO tears and to the deepest gratitude by
his kind counsel; declared that he had
opened her eyes to her folly, and that
she would not be guilty of it again. She
kissed his hand at parting, and went
away, it is said, completely changed. A
wear or two after she was married She
invited the comedian, as the story runs,
to her wedding, but he did not go.

The riarshaI,> Hill vetoed.

President Hayes sent message to the senate
on the 18th inst, vetOlng the bill regulating the
pay and appointment of deputy marshals. He
calls attention first to the existing law governing
the appointment and defining the duties Of dep
utv marshals IN times of elections. He then
quotes quite largely from a decision of the
Supreme Court made III 1879, on question raised
as to the cOnstltutlOnalltv of the statutes re-
feTCd to, in which the court pronOunces in their
favor. The President SAYS: Il have deemed it
fitting and proper to quote thus largely from an
important and elaborate opinion of the Supreme
Court, because the bill before me proceeds upon
a construction of the constitution a. to the pow
ers Of the national government, which is in
direct conflict with the Judgment Of the highest
judicial tribunal OF our country. Under the
sections Of the present law, the above quoted
officers of the United States are authorized, and
1t Is their duty, IN case OF congressional cleo
tons, to keep the peace at the polls and places
of registration, to arrest Immediately any person
who Is guilty of crime against the United States
election laws and to protect all officers of cleo
tons IN the performance of their duties,
and whenever an arrest Is made,
to bring the person 50 arrested be-
fore commission judge Of court Of the
United States for examination of the offences
alleged against linn. Such special deputy mar
shais are specially empowered thereto by mar
ehal5, III writing andif fotcby resisted, to cali to
their aid the bystanders on posse comitatus."
The president then gives a purpOrt of the stat
utes, quotes from the bill before him and says
that the deputy marshaIs proposed by the bill
presented to him for his signature are distinctly
different officers from the special deputy mar
shall, as such officers are now provided for in
the statutes. The bill does not connect the
new officers with existing laws relating to spe-
cial deputy marshaIs, so as TO invest the propOs-
ed deputy marshals with the same powers, to
impose upon them the same duties and to give
them the same protection by means of criminal
laT no }r1+y- of
the United States TO provide officers to guard
and scrutnze congressional elections, it fails to
adapt its provisions to existing laws so as to
secure efficient supervision and protection.

the night of the 18th inst, when the steamer
Narragansett was run into and sunk by the
Stonlngton, during dense fog. To add to the
horror of the situation the Inflated ship took
fire a short time before she sunk, causing
regular panic and rendering futile all attempts
at organized hfe-saying. Some of the petty
officers of the Narragansett saved their coward
ly carcasses by taking possession of the hrst
hfe-boat launched, abandoning women and
children TO certain death. As near can be
ascertained the Narragansett had on board 25O
passengers. Twelve dead bodies have been re-
covered, but it is thought more were drowned
and that the divers when they descend into the
cabin viii find more victims. The steamer rests
on the bottom in seven fathoms Of water.

l.eaINiIieX i1ilanteS.

An organization of citizens 5000 strong has
been formed at Leadyile for the purpose of
protecting working miners against the strikers.
The members of the society have issued a proc
lamation stating that they are fully determined
that men willing to work shall be permitted to
do so. and that the officers of the Miners Union
will be held responsible with their lives for any
interference. The organization is strong in
numbers and in purpose, and the warning issued
will doubtless be needed by the mob ringlead-
ers. On the afternoon Of the 18th inst, the
strikers gathered the vicinity of the Clarendon
hotel, hooting at every member Of the citizens
organization who appeared until it became IN
endurabe, and the citizens cavalry was ordered
to charge which was done, though no shooting
was indulged in. The widest confusion ensued,
and for an hour bloodshed seemed inevitable
Comparative quiet was finally secured.

Irish Heroes.

[From the Buffalo Commercial Advertser.I
Sir Charles Gavan Duffy, formerly
premier of the colonial government in
Australia, has returned to Ireland with
the intention Of devoting his old age to
writing a book about the Young
Ireland " movement OF 1913. In the
group of young enthusiasts who took
part in that movement ne was a leader
and 1t Is no wonder that he cherishes the
scheme OF indicating the memory Of his
comrades. They were brilliant fellows
who have led strange romantic lives, and
book which simply reheaTses their story
Will be as interesting as a novel. What
could be more affecting than the career
of the young orator, Thomas Francis
Meagher, condemned to penal servitude
for life, etfecting his escape to America,
leading a gallant brigade through MANY
a hard fought battle of the rebellion and
dying IN the dark waters of the Missouri :?
Even more mournful is the tragic story
of Thomas Darcy McGee, not less re
nOwned for his abilities and his mis-
fortunes. These are but specimens Of a
remarkable group. Doubtless the man
for whose sake especially Duffy desires
to write his book IS the most unknown
of all, though he was the soul of the
9 Young Ireland" movement, and his
death left 1t sort of capri morf,ntm.
If we write his name, Thomas Osborne
Davis, doubtless most of our readers

GLASS miilstones are now in use IN certain
parts Of Germany AMI are said to give good sat
isfactlon. The idea of constructing milIstones
of glass Is said to have originated from the OBJ
servation that the finest flour was produced by
those mlll-tones which have the most CLASSY
texture; from this observation came an expert
ment which demonstrated that pieces Of glass
combined III the same way as the French buhr,
and similarly grooved ON their surfaces, gave
better results IN grinding than the huhr mill
stone. This experiment led to the invention of
glass mllstones which have been adopted to
some extent by the German mllers. It is
claimed for them that they grind more easily
ana DO not heat the flour a. much sin the case
with the French buhrstone. In grinding grist
they run perfectly cold. In making these
stones the glass is cut IN blocks Of suitable size
and shape joined by cement in the same way as
the French bnhrs; dressed and turrow-cut with
picks and pointed hammers.
