with that being the case. nearly 800

patton, the miles Of road built in 1881

on this point. The Texas and Pacific

one and a half to two miles per day

About Freight Rates.

In 1859 the average freight charge
on a ton Of grain between Chicago
and the seaboard was $24. In 1870
the average charge on all kinds Of
merchandise was a little less than 50,
while grain and meat were carried
much more cheaply, and at times even
touched so low a point as 1850 from
Chicago to New York, and $3.50 from
Chicago to Baltimore. Within the
last year the rates between Chicago
and New York have varied between g
end 81; ftom New York to Liverpool
the charge has been from 81 to s. &c
per ton. 1t has cost TO carry a ton
Of wheat from Dakota to New York
about SIG or II, and to Liverpool not
over $22, making about one cent per
pound for the whole distance. 1t is
that this may in future be reduced to
an average of from SIG to so per ton.

so knock kneed as to be almost de-
formed. The crookedness Of his legs,
however, served as an excellent brace
in the ring. and rendered him a very
hard man to knock down. He was
very gruf and uncouth, which was
probably the reason he never settled
in the British metropolis, but con
tinued to reside in the comparatively
small town of Northampton, where
he subsisted for many wears on charity,
ending his days almost penniless. The
last fight Of the "Tipton SlasheI' was
! when he was beaten by Tom Ssyers,
June 16, 1857, $1,000 and the cham
pionship being up. He was born IN
Upton in 1919, stood six feet one-hali

Demorost's Masarine.l

Demorest's Msss7ine.l
In the spring Of 1893. after the exc
cution of Louis XVI, which took
place on January p, 1898, and was fol.
lowed by that of Marie Antoirette on
October 10Th of the same year, it was
decreed by order of the court that the
furniture and all else that remained
in the palace Of the Tuilleries was to
be sold. The sale lasted six months,
and had it not been stopped, would
have lasted six months longer.
At this sale Pierre de la Riviere OF
Normandy, minister Of foreign affairs,
purchased three dresses belonging to
Queen Marie Antoinette. These be-
came the property ofhis son, who re
moved to San Domingo, from which
place he fed, during the Jast iusurrec'
ton, to Philadelphia.
The three dresses purchased at this
sale were blue, purple, and, the pres.
ent one, old gold color, all Of them
richly embroidered. They descended
to his daughter, Mime. Remie
Mignot, of Charleston, sc, the grand
daughter of Pierre de Ia Ri,
Were, who afterward married NJ. Rut-
les, of Charleston. From her the gold
colored dress descended to one Of hel
daughters, Miss Ruties, now Mrs
Churchill, from whom it was pur-
chased By Nine Demorest in 1879.
This interesting souvenir is pale vel
low satin. the color mellowed by age
to and old gold tint, richly embrOider-
ed in bouquets and garlands Of flow
ers in natural c%olors, which to a re-
markable degree retain their original
brilliancy. The genuineness Of this
dress is beyond question, and can be
fully substantiated.
The blue dress became the property
ofa daughter of Nine. Mignot, who
married and removed to England, and
was made into a suite of furniture now
in the possession of her husband at
Eindhoven, Holland, near the frontier
Of Belgium.
The purple dress, after having been
in the possession of Nine. MignOt, re
turned to her after her sisters death,
and was burned in the great fire in
Charleston in 1861.
