The Doom of Malmaison.
(London Telegraph


Malmaison despite its interesting historical
associations, is doomed to destruction. AL
ready the park surrounding it has been con-
verted into building lots upon which villas,
such as the Partisan bourgeois delights in, are
rapidly springing up, and the chateau itself,
which has passed into private hands, is said to
be on the eve of demolition. Its only occupant
at present is an old female caretaker, who has
been employed in the chateau for neariy half
a century. She has a curious story to tell of
strange and romantic coincidence connected
with the melancholy fate of the late Prince
Imperial. 1t would appear that few days be-
fore the outbreak of hostilities between France
and Germany the youthful Prince visited NAL
maison, and spent several hours in the park at
play. As he was about to return to Paris to-
wards evening violent thunderstorm burst
ever the park, and magnificent tree which
had been planted by Napoleon l., in the pres
ence of the Empress Josephine was struck by
lightning. The people inhabiting the neigh
borhood of Malmaison tho 1ght fit to interpret
this natural accident as an evil omen for the
Prince Imperial The tree was seriously in
lured, and every effort was made to save its
life. but in vain. 1t gradually withered and
died. Late in the Spring of 1879 the intendant
OF the chateau gave orders that it should be
cut down as well as some other decayed timber
defacing the park. On the 1st of June, accord
ingly, the shattered Napoleonic tree was felled
to the earth; and that very day the gallant
Prince Imperial was slain by Zulu assegais in
far-dlstant Africa. He, strangely enough, was
the last Napoleon who set foot in Malmaison
Park, and the coincidence of his melancholy
fate with that of the tree planted by his great
ancestor was, to say the least of it, most re-
markable fulfllment of dismal forecast. the
offspring of popular superstition.

iMPUTATION OF THE LEG.
The old Family Physician at Fault-Dr.
David Kennedy the Successful Surgeon.

Money is the universal necessity, and none but
cync or fool will affect to despise it. Mr.. Abram
Ellsworth, of Port Even, Ulster county, N. Y, had
realized this truth His disease involved the whole
of his thghbone and the suffering man looked for
ward not without apparent reason, to death as his
only deliverer. His family physician refused to am
putate the limbasserting that the operation would
kill the patient on the spot. DIR. Douid KENNE-
DY, of Roudout, N. Y, who was consulted held a
different opinion and amputated the limb. The
Doctor then administered freely his great Blood
Specific FAyoRITE REMEDY to afford tone and
strength to the system prevent the return of the dis
ease, and Mr. Ellsworth remains to this day in the
bloom of health. The genteman's disease was the
offspring of foul blood, and Kennedy's FAVORITE
REMEDY purified the blood and restored to him
the power once more to enjoy his life. Are you suf
erng from any disease raceable to the same cause?
Try Favorite Remedy. Your druggists has it. ONE

The Tai Mahal.
[All the Year Round /


AT Delhi, at Agra, ones capacity of holding
and retaining lovely visions is flooded. A GER
tain impatience at the languor of our slow
senses fills the mind; realized there in stone
are dreams which have been shadowy and
shapeless too beautiful, too strange, to be ad-
mitted, even in sleep. No monument in all
the world, unless it be the Alhambra, compares
for sensuous delights with the Durbar Hall at
Delhi; for magnifcence, solid and imposing,
with Akbar's palaces at Agra; for absolute per
fection, with the Tai Mahal. The Delhi arch
itect knew the merit of his work and pro-
claimed it In every corner of the room he
wrote, in characters of gold, eff there be para
disc on earth, it is here, it is here" From my
soul / pity those who cavil at the artists
boast. Paradise, say these, or would say, if
they could express their inarticulate ideas, is
not made of barley sugar, colored sweetmeats,
and looking glass. Paradise is mystic, solemn,
an abode through eternity of strong and pious
souls, not of luxurious fays. If you tempt
these critics to explain themselves more fully
you will see that in their heart of hearts they
imagine that the SOUL whatever its nationali-
ity while incarnate, becomes true British after
death. The paradise of Delhi is not even Eu-
could have fancied; it is, in truth, sunshine
and color petrifed; and, because our happy
land is not familiar with sunshine, while our
habits forbid us color, the average Briton can
not see those blessed gifts of the Creator. That
the eye sees only what it looks for is an axiom
in art. When commonplace observer stands
before tablet in the palace wall and marks its
exquisite inlaying, as careful in the minutest
point as in the mass of flowers; when he sur
veys the marble screens carved into lace, ad-
mitting soft radiance which is to light as
moonbeams to sunshine, he is astonished and
delighted. But it presently comes home to
him that these lovely things are not pictures,
but the very wall itself. that every gap is filed
with marble guipure delicate as Chinese fan
and he revolts. AS bric-a-brac, as bits 10 dis
play under g.ass case in the drawing-room,
these things are charming. But grand edi-
flee all built of such is monstrous idea.
Where are the broken lines, the "cloud-
capped towers" which make our European no.
tion of great architecture? Where are the
shadows. the unexpected changes, the up
stairs and down stairs, and the general disar-
rangement which we are used to call pictu-
rescue? Nowhere.

POETRY.
Lord Dundreary's Epitaph.

(The recent death of E. A Sothern recalls quaint
epitaph reported to have been written by himself.
The memory of his death softens the humor of the
lines into patbos. They are as follows:l
H-here heth Lord D-dun-or, wathah, the
wemainth lie heah.
OF Lord Dundweawy-yeth, tha-thath tn ideah; /
Of Lord D-dundweawy, who no th-thah won't DO,
For If I'm dead, can't be-yeth, thath twoo
But th-then thed we-wemainth, of courth, which
should,
Mean wh-what ith left of me-th-thath good
Tho my we-wemainth can lie th-tho ugh am dead,
Becauth, you th-thee-I'm blethed If we -wemem-
Der schat thed.
But whah's the use of b-bothering more about
One of ththose things that nno fellah can find out?
Tho viii th-thimply thay wath the man,
Who wath the bwothath of that idiot ''Tham,''
Yeth, IDIOT ath, or lunatic, which you pleath;
Ah-ehl B-by Joye! th-thought l wath going to

Thall ego on? I'm sh-shure I'd better not

At such g-graUe subject as an ep-p-ep -epitaph.
What beatht of a w-word that ithD
Tho i will dwop it, and widdle a-athk inthead;
stwsnge pwoceeding a-ain't it, for a man thath

You've got it-no? th-thought you'd gueth it
"Mother-in-law.''

CONSUMING FLAMES.
Total Destruction Of the Wanda
Manufacturing Works.

CHARLESTON, S. c., Feb. 5,-The
works of the Wanda Manufacturing
Company, on Ashley River, nine
miles from this city. were totally de-
stroyed by fire yesterday. The fire
originated from an unknown cause in
the acid chamber, and as there was a
slight northeast wind blowing, the
whole works were soon enveloped in
flames. Eighty operatives on the
ground did ali in their power to stop
the progress of the confagration,
but the intense heat and suffocating
fumes OF burning sulphur prevented
anything effectual being done. The
building and machinery were val
ued at S63,O00 and the works, with
the material on hand, was insured for
$6l, 800 in the following companies !:
North British and Merchantile, Ham
burg, Bremin, Williamsburg, Trade
mems, st. Nicholas, British American,
Royal, Queen, Underwriters, London
and Lancashire, Continental Fire AS
sociation, Commercial Union, La
coisse, General National, Phoenix,
Citizens, Lorillard's, Liverpool and
London, and Globe. The works and
machinery are a total loss. The
damage to the prepared fertilizers
and material on hand is not thought
to be very great, and the salvage will
probably amount to IS or so per
cent.
PENSACOLA, Fla, Feb. 5.-A fire
broke out at 10 this morning in the
Delmonico restaurant, and it was de
stroyed. The grocery of Messrs.
Rell & Bell and another building
were also burned. Loss about $15,
900.
Among the passengers tonight by
the steamship Advance for Havana
was the committee from the Louis
vile board of trade.
