Some interesting stories are told Of
the early days, when the Queen was
obliged to sign death-warrants, before
she was relieved OF that odious duty,
and a sign-manual substituted by Act
of Parliament. On several occasions
the Qneen may be said to have begged
off the life of offenders And on one
occasion, with a hand trembling from
eagerness and emotion, she wrote s.par-
doned' across the fatal scroll. "A great
degree of reticenee Is very properly i'm

double elopement. the extremely young
bride first funnfHg away from the ma
ternal arms to these of her ardent swain.
and then. firing qdicklyof hin. she and
her mother have both skipped out to-
gether. James Greenough, q youthful
employe OF the National Express Com
pany. had become enamored of af16-
year-old Young lady in Poultney. the
daughter of the widow Bourne, who is
herself q daughter of the late Alanson
Douglass. 8 By the icouniyance and aid
of a s.mutual friend, 2 the yonng people
met unknown to tile mother and the
mystic knot was tied by la too-willing
clergyman. They then separated, Green
oueh returning TO his home sine wv hite-
hall, and the bride of an hour started
for Poultney to gently break the newsto
her mother. Somehow the air OF Con-
ductor Frost's ear had 3 chilling effect
upon her matrimonial felicities, and by
the time she; reached Ponltney and the
home gate had closed, behind her, she
was prepared to accept the mothers adj
vice so frequently given to never again
see her liege lord. ~ Poor Greenough
fingered in Whitehall, awaiting the
promised arrival of his bride till his ar
dor knew no bounds. Then he did not
fly ON the wings of love to Pouitney, but
HE'D himself there as fast as steam could
carry him via Castleton. Arriving at
the Bourne from which he had awaited
in vain his loved one's return, he knock
ed only to be denied admission. and was
coolly told that she did not wish to have
more to do with him. While paralyzing
ut the front door, smart-looking young
lad walked .briskly out Of the yard, and
the Greenongh Whitewater did not rec
ognize in the features those of his coy
bride, who was thus masquerading in
male attire to avoid his persistence.
Deeming that his lady-love was being
held an unwilling prisoner. the amateur
husband sought the aid Of o Rutland
lawyer TO break the bonds that held her
from his arms. The bride and her
mother hearing of this, the latter made
hasty arrangements for Q rapid retreat
from Poultney and vicinity, and they
lightly skipped to the train which bore
them to distant refuge, which is at
present unknown to the disconsolate

English Apple Tart.

There is nothing nicer than an En-
glish apple tart if it is properly made,
which should be as follows: Pare,
quarter and core the apples, then slice
them very finely into deep dish, CRATE
some lemon peel over them, and add
some sugar in small quantity of water;
to make the crust faky, take a pound
of flour and half pound of butter
place the -four in an earthenware basin
and break the butter up into small
pieces /; mix half of these with the -four,
then slowly add q little water, enough
to blend all together as you mix it
take it ont Of the basin, and; having
sprinkled the board with flour, roll it
out Lightly once as evenly as you can /;
then take more of the broken bits of
butter and place at intervals over the
paste, sprinkle them with -four, fold the
paste and roll it again, once more place
the bits of butter on it at intervals,
dredge i! again, fold it and roll ont
again; repeat this process third time !;
then place the paste thus prepared over
the apples, so that it covers the edge of
of the dish, and cut it exactly all round !;
roll out the pieces You cut off and make
a strip to go over the flat edge, SO that
there may be double paste all round
it, and to give it a raised appearance
take the handle of u teaspoon and press
the edges lightly upward at regular
intervals.

A Frightful Ride.

A New York Herald correspondent
had an interview with Monroe Brown,
gentleman who had leased large
tract of land in Cypress Bend, Desha
County, and who was living with his
family In the bottoms when the Missis-
sipppi began to rise. Said he:
"We were overlooked almost in q
twinkling. The water poured into the
house at every available space. 1t hap
pened 1 had mule hitched at the front
gate, and catching up my wife, who had
three months old baby in her arms, I
carried her out, wading into water up
to my knees, and got on the mule. 1
knew there was ridge some two miles
east, and thought if could only get to
it we would be safe until picked up by
steamer. My wife was almost scared
to death, but she's plucky little wo-
man, aud so she didn't say anything
until we got into deep water, that car
ried the mule off his feet and forced 1T
to swim. Then she began screaming,
and when the animal saw the corpse of
negro floating on the water and began
whirling round and round, she tainted
dead away, and lay like lead in my
arms About that time I began to
think we should all perish, for in the
excitement of the moment I had lost the
course on which I had started, and as
far as could see there was nothing but
wide expanse of water-a solid sheet
of surging, foam-crested waves. 1
seemed to be afoat in the centre of
sea, with my wife unconscious in my
arms and the infant slumbering secure
ly on her breast. Our combined weight
taxed the strength of the faithful mule
to the utmost, and just when it seemed
on the point of sinking with exhaustion
and I began to contemplate the posi-
bility of a watery grave, heard voices,
and, looking over my shoulder, saw
three colored men on a raft. 1 called
to them and they came to my relief, and
thus snatched us from the very jaws of
a terrible death. My mule floatcd down
the current and was drowned. I would
not repeat that experience for all the
wealth of the world"
