MARK TwAIN'S LAST.
A Practical Joke on Connecticut
Audience

Hartford Correspondence New York sun.
The Hon. Demshame Hornet had 4
very unpleasant experience lately.
Mark Twain was advertised to lecture
III the town of Colchester, but for some
reason failed to get around. In the
emergency the lecture committee de-
cided to employ Mr.. Hornet to deliver
his celebrated lecture on temperance.
but so late in the day was this arrange
ment made, that no bills announcing
it could be circulated, and the audience
assembled expecting the celebrated in
nocent. Nobody in town knew Mark
or had ever heard him lecture, and they
had got the notion that he was funny
and went to the lecture prepared to
laugh. Even those on the platform, ex-
cept the chairman didn't know Mr.
Hornet from Mark Twain and 80 when
he was introduced, thought nothing of
the name, as they knew Mark Twain
was nom de plume and supposed his
real name was Hornet. The denoue-
ment is thus told: "Mr. Hornet first
remarked; "Intemperanee is the
curse of the country" The audience
burst into q merry laugh. He knew it
could not be at his remark and thought
his clothes must be awry, and he asked
the chairman in Il whisper if he was
all right and got Eyes" for an answer
Then he said: "Rum Stays more than
diseased" a louder laugh. He couldn't
understand it, but went on. "Itbreaks
up happy homes" louder mirth
1T is carrying young men down to
death and helll'-a perfect roar and
applause. Mr.. Hornet began to get ex.
cited. He thought they were guying
him, but he proceeded "We must
crush the serpentr'-a tremendous
howl of laughter. The men on the
platform, except the chairman squirm-
cd rs they laughed. Hornet couldn't
stand it. 'What I'm saying is gospel
truth" he cried the audience fairly bel
lowed with mirth. Hornet turned to
man on the stage and said: "Do YOU
see anything very ridiculous in my re-
marks or behavior" eyes, ha hats
intensely funny-ha ha ha! go on"
replied the roaring man. This is an in
suit cried Hornet, wildly dancing
about. More laughter and cries of Go
ON, Twain" And then the chairman
got the idea Of the thing, and rose up
and explained the situation, and the
men on the stage suddenly quit laugh
ing and blnshed very red, and the folks
IN the audience looked 1T each other in
a mighty sheepish way, and then quit
laughing too And then Mr.. Hornet.
being thoroughly mad, told them he
had never before got into u town SO en-
tirely populated by asses and idiots.
and having said that he left the hall.
And the assemblage then voted to cen
sure Twain and the chairman, and dis
pcrsed amidst deep gloom.

Was Joan OF Are Burnt Mt the Stake.
London Globe.

The mayor Of Compicgne is quite
II genius in his way. He knew that
the prevailing notion was to secularize
everything, and consequently he in
vented republican manifestation in
honor. of Joan of Arc, the Maid of Or
leans, who defended Compiegnc against
the English and Burgundians in 1880,
and was betrayed into the hands Of
John of Luxembourg, who surrender
cd her TO the Englishmen who burnt
her ut the stake in the market-place at
Tower show where the Picardy archer
pulled the unfortunate Joan from her
war-horse, and when those who are
fond Of going back to the history OF
other days think of the legend and
then of that horrible statute of the
Maid of Orleans Mt the end Of the Rue
dies Pyramides in Paris, they must de-
plore the fact that the man of Picardy
left no defendant who would volunteer
to come forward and unhorse the fig
IRE which sumounts the PEDESTAL.
NJ. Charles Monselct has thrown
some doubt ON the legend of Joan of
Arc having been burnt by the English.
He quotes y paragraph from the
Nerc,u~ of 1888 announcing that certain
documents recently discovered led to
the conclusion that Joan of Arc had
been married, and that, consequently,
some unfortunate victim must have
been sacrificed in her place at Rouen.
The documents consisted of IN attcS-
taton made by Father Vigner, who
said: Five years after the judgment
of Joan of Arc, on the Goth day Of
May, Joan, the Maid, visited Metz. On
the same day her brothers called to
see her. They thought she had been
burnt, but when they saw her they re-
cogni1ed her at once. They took her
with them TO Boquclon. Whereon u
yeoman named Nieolle gave her a
horse, and two other persons contribut-
ed sword plumed hat, and the said
Maid sprung very cleverly on said
hose saying multitude Of things TO
the yeoman Nicolc.

his own hand, and made oath as to its
sincerity before II public notary, adding

town To erect Il statute TO her memory.
