man wrote to friends at Berlin,
however, to tell what he had
seen; but he was quickly an
swered that he must be in error, as
his friends lately visited Denecke in
prison, and were quite certain that he
was under lock and key. The mystery
was not destined to be cleared until
some months afterward, when Denecke,
having completed his sentence, reap
peared among his fellow-socialists at
Berlin. He was then in very weak
health, and announced that he should
not bring out his newspaper for the
present He even talked of emigrat-
ing to America, saying he could not
bear fresh incarceration, which was
sure to await him if he were to recon-
mence writing. But soon after this
Denecke died, and he was found to
have left considerable sum of money.
This fortune could not have been hon
estly come by, for if it had there would
have been no reason for Denecke to
feign abject poverty and to allow his
fines to be paid for him by men much
poorer than himself. From additional
facts which transpired it came to be
seriously suspected-though it could
not be actually proved-that Denecke
was "reptile" who never underwent
the full terms of imprisonment to which
he was sentenced. Government used
to release him privately and send him
on police missions to France; but every
now and then the man used to return
to jail to show himself to friends who
came to visit him on appointed days.
1t was established that DeneCke and
Engelracht must have been one and
the same man, for good deal Of the
editors money turned out to have
been invested in the name of Engel-
racht.

New York, January 2S.-Hester Won
der Linde Brinkerhoff Jackson will eel
citrate her tooth birthday anniversary
Monday with a reception to her rela-
tives at the house of one of her daugh-
tiers, Mrs. A. S. Hubbell, Newark Her
descendants include twenty-five grand
childred, fifty great grand children,
and ten great great grand children.
Mrs. Jackson was born at Fishkill on
the Hudson, and is of Dutch extraction.
Her father was Adrian Brinkerhof, an
officer of the Patriot army in the Revo-
lutionary war. Her mother was Won
der Linde. When young she learned
the Dutch Language, which was then
spoken in all the Ouch reform church.
es. While still girl, her father moved
with the family to Caristadt, Bergen
county. In 1880 she married Peter
Jackson, merchant, and some time
afterward moved with him to Acqua.
chinook, now Passaic, where her hus-
band opened a store. In 1892 they
returned to Newark, where her hus-
baud died in 1850. Since his death
she has lived with her daughter, Mrs.
Hubbell. Her sister sister died when
90 years old.
Mrs. Jackson had seven children. Mrs.
P. Jackson, ST., the wife of Amz; Arm
strong, a Newark lawyer, and the wife
of Henry Vanwinkle, Of Jackson, Mass,
are dead. The surviving children are
Mrs. A. S. Hubbell, of Newark; the
widow of the Rev. DIR. Fischer, he pres
ident of Hamilton college, who lives at
Cincinnati; James Jackson, OF Jersey
City, and William Jackson, who re-
Gently lived in Switzerland. Among
the grandchildren are Gen. Jackson, of
east Thirty-fourth street, New York;
Schuyler B. Jackson, who was speaker
of the house of assembly, of New Jer-
sey, and Wolcott Jackson, general sup
erintendent of the Pennsylvania rail-
road. Mrs. Jackson is in good health,
although feeble. Her mind is clear,
and her faculties are very slightly i'm
paired. Until few months ago she
took exercise in the open air. She is
talkative, hears and sees we'll, and
spends her time principally in reading.
Mrs. Jackson looks twenty years
younger than her actual age. Her
memory of past events is clear. She
met and knew Lafayette, and was
girl of II when Washington died.
The Science" says: Of all the nu-
merous topics which are the common
field of the physician and the biologist,
meme is of as great interest, both in its
practical bearing and intrinsically, as
a fascinating theme, as that of the 10
cation of mental faculties in the brain.
Year by year scientific inquiry is mar
rowing down the question of the exist
ence of the mind into the functional
realm of those great masses of nerve
tissue which, filling out the cavity of
the skull, had already found an empiri-
cal and unconscious recognition from
the ancients when they endowed the

BIsMARCH'S SPIES.
How the German chancellor Keeps the
Track of His COnspiratOrs.
Eroun the Cornhill Mapazine


From the Cornhill Magazine.
Prince Bismarck excels in the en-
ployment of a particular class of spies,
who are known to his countrymen as
"reptiles." They are sham revolu-
tionists, whose business it is either to
get on the staff of radical newspapers,
or to play leading part in socialist
electoral committees. The disgust of
mankind at some of the atrocious sem
timents put forth by German socialist
newspapers would no doubt be greater
than it is if one could get rid Of the
suspicion that many of these incen.
diary articles are written by "reptiles"
for the express purpose of bringing the
radical party into odium. They con-
ceal their game so well that often they
are flung into prison for their writings,
and acquire great popularity as mar
tyrs to the popular cause, whence it
may be concluded that the pay they
receive from the "reptile' fund is large.
No body would care to be locked up
long in a German fortress for mere
bread and cheese.
Three years ago a wretched man
called Denecke, brought out a most
virulent newspaper, Das Hackmesser
("The Cleaver") at Berlin. 1t was
ably written, and the editor soon gath
cred around him staff of radical STU
dents, young doctors and idle .advo-
Gates. These young men had the
greatest confidence in Denecke. They
admitted him to their clubs, and
worked for him without expecting any
pay. A day came when the Hackmes-
ser was prosecuted for seditious writ
ing in the persons of its editor and an
other member of the staff They were
sentenced to six months Imprisonment
and a heavy fine, which was paid by
subscription got up in the branches, as
the editor was believed to be almost
penniIess. While Denecke was in
prison the publication of his newspa
per was suspended, but when he had
undergone his punishment he resumed
his editorial labors, and was soon sem
fenced again-this time for year. A
few weeks after Denecke's trial,
former member of his staff who had
gone TO seek fortune in Paris, saw the
socialist martyr sitting outside cafe,
nicely dressed and smoking a cigar.
Much astonished, he accosted the
man, but Denecke appeared not to
know him, and said that there must be
be mistake, as his name was Engel-
racht, and he produced card to prove
it. The young man apologized and
went his way; but he was not con-
WINGED. The Denecke of Berlin was
certainly shabby fellow, with shrub
by beard, while the Engelracht of Paris
was well shaved and had spectacles.
Yet Denecke's was one of those ex-
pressive faces which are not easily for
gotten. His former associate tried to
watch him home, but failed, for Herr
Engelracht, seeing himself spied, got
into an omnibus. and the other did
not Ike to follow him. The young

that the time has fully come when the
telegraph and postal systems should be
embraced under one management.
After assigning reasons for this con-
clusion, the Postmaster General contiu-
ucs:
when = computation of profits to the
public who purchase the services is made,
II becomes injurious to the companies
which sell. when competition is extin-
guished by the purchase and absorpti1n
OF the competitors. The pric. paid for
franchises concerns the purchaser but
little. bat 1t concerns the public deeply.
The people must pay fees which will
yield dividend on the new and old
capital. So il has happened that ono
corporation which has built the most
miles Of telegraph has been the largest
purchaser OF telegraph property. IL
must continue to be 90. No matter how
rich company may be il 10 powerlcss 20

or Just may b the management of the
purchAMnQ ooLpany, il will demand
from the public dividends on tho CAPT.
tai invested to extinguish the rival. The
only security capital can have against
those recurring raids Is to surrender the
business TO the government. The only
protection the public can have against
these multiplied exactions IL for the gov
erument 10 assume control of the trans
mission OF domestic messages BY cleo
tricity. The telegraph Is too terrible to
be welded by other than the represent
