Old Madame JumeI.

Cath in the Cincinnati Enquirer :
Mention of Aaron Burr recalls the fact
that the estate of Nine. Jumel, who
was the second wife of Aaron Burr, is
again in litigation. The lawyers are
fighting the putative heirs for their
enormous fees. Nine. Jumel was the
American mistress of Frenchman
She had probably been n common wo-
man before she became the French
man's mistress. She was fine-looking,
however, very perfect animal-and
lived with the Frenchman some years,
and bore him child. She had the arts
of depraved women. and seemed to get
the Frenchman's money. Affecting to
be on her last bed of illness, she told
Jumel she could not die in peace un-
less he legitinized their child by a mar
riace. ssI will never rise from this
bed" she said, "but want to feel my
soul secure, and also that child's, by
throwing the ceremony of the church
around u.s." Jumel, much affected,
sent for the priest. and the two were
married; but the madam never died.
and, on the death Of Jumel. she, many
years his junior, was the heir to his
property. She lived in the splendid
house where Gen. Washington once
end of New York island, overlooking
the high bridge of Harlem river. The
old house still stands there, and has
been Inhabited by Nine. JumePs grand
son, who is now dead, though the old
lady herself only died about eighteen
years ago. Washington came to New
York for his first visit during the French
and Indian wars, and called on Miss
Phillipse, and addressed her by letter
after he departed; but she was in love
with Captain Roger Morris. whom she
married. He went into the British serv-
ice during our revolution, and so did
her family, and therefore their estate
was coniiscated. As the widow Jumel
had no character in New York, it oc-
cured to Aaron Burr. after he was
turned out of public life and generally
detested, that he might make this old
woman his bride and get her money
He married her, but she soon found
out that he was using up her funds,
which he collected us her husband. in
stead of returning them to her, and she
discharged him both from her bed and
her stewardship.
A friend of mine, who was clerk in
the office of Charles O'Conor, once
told me that he frequently was sent to
Nine. Jumers by the lawyer to take
points of testimony or establish certain
things at law. The old woman was
about 90 years of age, but her immortal
part was her vanity. The young man
complimented her one day ON looking
so well at her age. and she took his
hand and placed it ON her breast, near
ly century old, and asked him if the
young women nowadays could match
her there.

A Danuernns Cra f.

The m''Polyphemus, Just launched
at Chatham. Eng, is cigar-shaped
vessel, having neither masts nor sails,
and when in service but very little OF
her will be seen above water, except
the central portion. upon which will be
placed the tunnels. signal towers. and
other features necessary to have above
water. Her chief weapons are an
enormous ram. projecting twelve feet
from the bow, and torpedoes. for the
use of which she is specially designed.
The torpedos can be fred from the bow
or from either side of the ship, the
ejecting parts being some depth below
the water-line. The ram is also SUBJ
merged. SO as to strike armor-clads
we'll below their iron plating. As the
vessels speed will be not less than sew
enteen knots an hour. she will be a
very formidable craft for fleet to en-
counter.

Georgia school Teach er.
Marion County Argus.

A colored "school marin" in this
county has number of men with
families attending her school-one 40
years old. Among the number is the
man with whom she is boarding, and
one of the first to receive the rod of
correction was her landlord. Two
weeks ago the 4O-year- old student was
told his next failure to know his les
son would bring upon him "tho rod
of correction" He says she is right,
and if, while he attends her schoo', he
disobeys her commands or fails to
comply with her regulations, that she
ought to whip him, and his duty is to
submit to the chastisement without
complaint.

Electrical Light Patents,

About 175 patents have so far been
granted for patents relating to cleo
trical lighting, in this country, and
about 800 more for applications for
patents thereon are now pending.
When we consider the large number
of patents now existing for telegraph
ing instruments, telephones, alarms,
electrical batteries. switches, and the
divisions of electrical devices, it will
readily be understood that the Patent
Office at Washington is rapidly becom-
ing a great storehouse of novelties re-
lating to electricity, and that this
branch of invention is already one of
extraordinary magnitude. - Scientific

from the blast, and forward was the
watch on duty: but no one noticed the
tall form of the Cuban, as with nod of
farewell he sprnng over the side of the
ship upon the foliage-clad rocks, and
disappeared from view-his life saved
by the woman he loved, and who idol
lied him.
Waiting until her lover had time to
reach the forest, Consuelo Verona en-
tered the cabin where her father sat
writing letters, and, looking up, he said ::
why. daughter, l thought you had
retired"
No. father, remained up to prevent
you bringing a stain upon your proud
name" she answered. calmly.
What mean you, child%
simply, that had Enrique DelmOnte
died at your hands, after his noble con-
duct tonight in saving his foes, it would
nave been a foul blot upon your honor.
But he is condemned to die, and"
'And set him free"
The Spaniard sprang to his feet in a
rage. kissing forth:
Girl, how dare you brave Inc IL this
way? Hol On deck, there!"
Hold, father, he has escaped, for this
is his own land near by, and he knows
it we'll; and, more, alone am to blame,
for the guard over him l ordered away.
and, as l often carry orders for you. he
0beyed. In the place of Enrique Del
monte, father, make me your prisoner"
Captain Verona stOrmed like mad
man. and reused the whole ship; but it
did no good. for the Cuban had escaped,
and in safety gained the mountains,
where he joined the command of Gener-
al Jordan, and won distinction as gal
liant officer Of cav;liIl; and through all
the weary struggle i'll Cuba there were
two hearts longing for peace, for, though
one was a soldier in the patriot ranks
and the other daughter of Spain, their
hearts were bound together by ties OF
love which death alone could sever.

born, and of their special capacity fol

compact, accurate, and picturesque
style. Some time ago he CHANGED to be
visiting at a county seat in Virginia
and was courteously invited by tie Com.

courtroom on the following morning
with the assurance that witness would
testify in a murder case then pending
He entered the courtroom, and speedily
after his arrival a witness was called.
who advanced to the stand with such a
jaunty air of self-assurance, and who
kissed the book with such loud-sounding
confidence, that he was sure this must be
"his man." His Judgment was not in
correct.
"Mr. Williamson" asked the Common
wealth's attorney, "do you know any
thing of the killing which took place at
Robertson's store last month ~
"K31oO anythingp' was the response

"Then tell the Court and jury" said
the attorney, what you know"
The witness planted himself more
firmly on both feet, glanced around upon
his auditors, and thus delivered himself
well, you see, Mr.. Robertson were asst
tin in the back part of his store a-playin'
of his fiddle, not a-thinkin' of bein'

Woods of Wisdom.


Discretion of speech is more than elo-
quence.
Suffering has its limits, but fears are
endless.
Money is like muck, not good unless
it be spread.
One maxim is: "a pound of pluck is
worth a ton of luck"
1t is easier for man to descend to
earth than to mount to heaven.
! However laboriOus the life of the
good, it is less so than that of the bad.
True virtue is like precious odors-
sweeter the more incensed and crushed
If man be gracious and courteous to
strangers it shows that he is a citizen of
the world.
The mind has more room in it than
most people imagine, if you would fur
nish the apartments.
The evils of the world will continue
until philosophers become kings, or
kings become philosophers.
Strong minds, like hardy evergreens,
are most verdant in winter; when feeble
ones, like tender summer plants, are
leafess.
There are truths which some men de-
spise because they have not examined
and which they will not examine be-
cause they despise.
Childhood often holds truth with its
feeble fingers, which the grasp of man.
hood cannot retain, which it is the pride
of utmost age to recover.
Natural objects themselves, even
when they make no claim to beauty, ex-
cite the feelings and occupy the imagina-
tiOn. Nature pleaseS, attracts, delights,
merely because it is nature.

Before the Daybreak.

Before the daybreak shines star
That in the days great glory fades;
Too fiercely bright is the full light
That her pale cleaning lamp upbraids.
Before the daybreak sing bird
That stills her song ere morning light;
Too loud for her is the days stir,
The woodlands thousand tongued
delight.
Ali great the honor is to shine
A light wherein no traveller errs;
And rich the prize to rank divine
Among the worlds loud ch0isters.
But 1 would be that paler star,
And l would be that lonelisr bird;
To shine with hope, awhile hopes afar,
And sing of love, when loves unheard.

Wisdom for Bows.

Do you wish to make your mark in tie
world? Do you wish to be men? Then
observe the following rules:
Hold integrity sacred.
Observe good manners.
Endure trials patiently.
Be prompt in all things.
Make few acquaintances.
Yield not to discouragements.
Dare to do right; fear to do wrong.
Watch carefully over your own pas
sions ~
Fight life's battle bravely, manfully.
Consider well, then decide positively.
Sacrifice money rather than principle.
Use all your leisure time for i'm
provement.
Attend carefully to the details of your
own business.

POETRY,
FALLING LEAVES.
JOHN BRoUGHAM.


When winter winds are wailing,
And death rides on the breeze,
With icy breath assailing,
The stark and sapless trees,
1t grieYes us not to see
For It's their time to die,
And with all mature wither-
The leaves that round us fly.
But when the day is teeming
With life and love and light,
And in cur path is beaming
The sun-ray of delight,
II saddens us to see
: 20, It's mournful thing,
They should untimely perish
The leaves that fall in spring.
What though young life has parted
From earth. ere spring has passed,
Or old and weary-hearted -
1t Yields to winters blast?
Grieve not but humbly bend
Submissive to the call,
Nor scorn their simple teaching
The leaves that round US fall.
