the Runawsy g. Louis GIRL.

ST. LOUIS, November 8. - Mar
Churchill, in charge of her father, ar
rived here this morning from Indian
apolis. She still refuses to state whl
she ran away from home. She sayi
nobody but herself knows the motiv,
for her flight, and the secret shall mo-
pass her lips. The departure was not q
sudden freak, but had been planned de.
liberately, the girl secreting clothes
several days before her departure, and
on the day of leaving she put on two
sets of underwear az the easiest way Ol
getting the garments out of the house
without discovery. Her disguise had
also been carefully planned.
She had only few dollars in her
pocket, v which had dwindled to $l.7O
when she reached Indianapolis, and
went to work ~ hotel chambermaid.
Her present situation she got from DIR.
Fletcher, who at first demurred At
giving her work, but gave way TO her
pleadinRs. She gave the name of Jen-
ME Lock wood, and soon becoming a
proficient irOner, made herself secure
in her situation. Occasionally she
played the piano at DR.. Fletcher's, aud
it was her musical ability which
first made him suspect that she might
be the missing girl.
To reporter she said that the only
thing that really hur her feelings since
she left was the reading Of the report
that she had eloped with that nasty
Mr. CALDWELL" the school teacher, who
disappeared from here about the same
time she did, aud whose character was
not of the incest. She despised him
when she went to school, she said, and
when she saw the report she wrote

Why He Married Her.

In the forthcoming fascinating biog-
raphy of the heroic Lord Lawrence
there is among many anecdotes one en-
inently characteristic of the man., who
was as strong in his affection as in his
will. He was nj evening sitting in his
drawing-room at southgate with his
sister and others of the family; all were
engaged in reading. Looking up from
his book in which he had been engrossed,
he discovered that his wife had left the
room. where's mother?" said he to
II of his daughters. 'She's up stairs"
replied the girl. He returned to his
book, and looking up again a few min
utes later, put the same question to his
daughter and received the same answer.
Once more he returned to his reading,
once more he looked up with the same
question on his lips. His sister broke
in. Why, really, John, t would seem
as if you could not get on for five min
utes without your wife" ''That's why
l married her." he replied.

Nuggets That Were No Pocket-Pieces
Found in Sierra County, California.
From the Sierra County Tribune.
The following is a list of big nuggets

1855 a nugget was found at French Ra-
vine that weighed 432 ounces and was
worth $4,000. 1t contained considera-
be quartz, which is not calculated in its
weight. In 1851, at French Ravine, a
426 ounces and was valued at
$1,000, A nugget is reported to have

The Nice of America.

The natural attractions of Charleston
as a winter resort are forcing themselves
upon the attention of thousands of visit
ors from the north who tarry here awhile
on their way to Florida, Here they
find a climate quite as balmy as that Of
jacksonville, while less facilitating; and
they enjoy besidesthe advantage ofbeing
just n days journey nearer to their
homes. Our noble harbor is admitted
to. be without an equal, in point of pic
turesQue beauty, on the Atlantic sea-
board, and the environs of Charleston,
by land and water, are full ofinterest
for the intelligent tourist by reason Of
the stirring events of the past of which
they were the theater. These consider
atoms have already influenced many
northerners, who have tried a soiourn
in Florida, to return to pass the winter
IN Charleston, and the indications are
thatthe number of those who preferred
a long stay in this city will steadily in
crease. Our hotels have been more
crowded this season than for many years
past; and it is common to hear the re-
mark among tourists who are enjoying
the sea breeze and the sunshine on our
matchless battery, that a large modern
hotel Of the first class at the water-side
in Charleston, would at once rank in
public estimation as a winter resort
with which the best of Florida's new ho-
tells could not compare. Nothing but
capital, energy and tact is wanted to
make Charleston in fact, what she has 80
often been called-s'the Nice of Ameri-
ca."-.Charleston Is. c. News and

Jefferson's Rip Van Wrinkle.

The first impression introduced by
Mr.. Jefferson in this part Drip concerns
his admirable picturesqueness as an
actor. He now seems to be a boor by
Teniels, and now a grotesque figure by
Cabot, while his aspect in the latter
scenes, after his awakening from his 20
years sleep, conveys suggestions of Tin
toret or Titan. He has an ease 0 fmove-
ment and a grace of attitude that cove
nothing, apparently to generalization.
but are yet invariably, appropriate and
of invaluable assistance to the illusion of
the scene. He has that seeming un-
consciousness of his audience which is
the peculiar possession of actors of the
first class, while he is, of course thorough
ly skilled in all the articles of the stage,
displaying his accomplishments, how
ever, with rare moderation and discern
ment. His management of his voice is
mastery; his tones are seldom raised
above q conversational level; his
dlstinctness of speech has
about it no show of effort; yet every
word he utters comes home to and tells
upon his audience; the humor of his
Dutch accent never being forced upon
the ear as a thing necessarily demand
LIS "ouSitSA, ~ OhlploSSo WILL cast
and calm, as though it were in truth in
separable from the actors w natural
method of utterance. 1t is simply by
his surprising naturalness, indeed, that
MIR. Jefferson commands applause in the
earlier portions of the play. Rip is a
tippler and unlettered; he loves the glass
out of an inherent conviviality of dispo-
sition; but he is acute witted enough,
and his sense of humor is exceedingly
strong. He perceives something conf
cal even in his own degradation and
ruin; his weakness in resuming the evil
habit he "swored Off" is to
him more l%aughable than shameful;
he is amused by his own apprehensions
of his wife's scolding tongue; and though
he reviles his vehement helpmate, it is
without real bitterness, with a droll
sense, indeed, that he fully merits her
worst treatment of him. He is lazy, ine-
briate worthless; he has squan-
dered his property and stops at q
tavern while his wife and children are
left at home but scantily provided with
food and raiinent; yet he never loses
hold upon sympathy. A certain tender
ness of nature redeems him from abso-
lutte reprobation.-Nights at the Play

Hereditary Transmission of Tai
emf @

The uncertainties of the hereditary
transmission of talent are illustrated in
the two sons of Coleridge, the younger
of whom Derwent, has just died at Lon
don in his eishty-third year. The elder,
Hartley, inherited a large measure of
his fathers poetic genius, but with it
he was born to physical infrmity and
then unstable temperament, that made
his genius comparatively fruitless and
his life a sorrow to himself and his
friends. Derwent on the other hand,
had never a spark of the divine at1atus.
His share of the family inheritance was
only a refined and thoughtful spirit. He
took ordersand lived a long and honored
life as scholar and teacher, content
that his name should be known in let
tiers as the editor Of his father's,remains,
and as the biographer of his gifted
brother. His few independent works,
theological and educational. are not i'm
portant, and yet hisYlife has been con
%spicuously a useful one. Lord John Col
eridge, the chief justice, who is coming
over here in the Autumn, is his first
cousin.

M. de Brahal and Susanna
lived in regal splendor and
luxury for fifteen years. He gratified
every within of s%usanne's until his purse
could no longer stand the constant drain.
Then. toward the end Of the year 1873,
an idea struck NJ. de Brallal. If it were
three fold, and happiness in being able
to grant ali .%Susanne's desires would be
his.
A young widow of immense wealth
was then living in the Rue des Invalides
Madame Rica by name. If he could
only marry her, then bring Susanna in
to the house as housekeeper, between
them Madame Rica's time on earth
would be quite limited. Butthe young
man, Susanne's son, what was to be done
with him? Prestol When the crime
was committed it should be fastened on
him. Susanna did not love Phillip, and
NJ. de Brahal hated him. Being a man
Of fine personal appearance and elegant
address, he was not long in gaining the
affections Of the unsuspecting widow.
Things progressed rapidly and i'll June,
1874 Madame Rica became Madame de
Rrahal. They lived apparently very hap
PLY for about six months. Lie BIahal

growing tired of being g constant witness
OF lover making love to another woman,
began to c~oniure IN plots for madame's
speedy removal. An opportunity did
not present itself until March.
Philip had in his possession a small
poniard on which were his initials. This
should be the means Of murder and Of
throwing suspicion on the unfortunate
lad. When all was ready, M. de Blahal
took leave of madame, his wife, under
the pretext that pressing business called
him to Havre. He did not leave Paris,
but remained in concealment until long
after midnight, when, entering the
house by a door Susanna had left open
for him he, with his own hand, plunged
the poniard into the breast of madame.
his wife. The rest is known.
Suffice it TO say that the worthy NJ.
de Brahal was sentenced to be guillo-
tined by the same court that sent Sus-
anne to the galleys fn i've years. and
that set Philip at liberty and bestowed
him to his father.
But why did you acknowledge a
crime that was not yoursa.' asked Ber-
strand of his son,

The Handsomest Men in France.

No where in all France can we meet
with men of finer or more robust frames
or of handsomer features, than in Low
er Normandy. As a matter of statistics.
the men of the Coientin, although UNI
able as a body to stand back to back
with the men of the Doubs and Jura de-
partments-tbe descendants of the
"seyen-feet Burgundians"-have sell
dom to be excluded from the ranks of
the French cuirassiers on the ground of
insufficient height. Asa matter of per.
sonal ohservation, it is sufficient to visit
Bayeux or Contances on market days to
be convinced that the tall, athletic-look-
ing farmers who are busy over the sale
of their stock or butter belong not to
the conventional French type, but to q
wholly different one, and that Teutonic
or Scandinavian. In point of complex
ion, too, We notice, at least in certain
districts, a like conformity to the North
ern races. Among the factory shands''
Of st. Lo and the artisans of Contances a
large proportion are found to possess
the fair features-light hair and blue
eyes-and the long visage which are
characteristic of the Danish and Norwe-
gian types. And the fact Of these pc
culiarities is rendered the more con-
spicuous when we contrast withthe pop-
ulations of these towns and neighbour
hoods that of Granville-distant not 20
miles from Contances-where the prev
alence of a dark and wholly dissimilar
type suggests the presence of a seaborne
colony, possibly of Basque origin.-The

A coNTEMPoBAY gives notice that an at
tempt is being put forth to stop adulters-
ton in tea, by the Treasury Department,
in accordance with the act passed by con-
gress in it's recent session. This move
ment is of great interest to a large por-
ton of our population. We are nation
of tea drinkers and it is stated that the
consumption of tea in the United States
amounts to an enormous total of 100000
pounds year. OF late there has been
depreciation in the quality Of tea, through
the extensive business which has been al
lowed to grow up in damaged and adulter-
ated brands, and the evil has gone so far
that over one-eighth of the amount sold
last year was bad. Most of this stuff is
positively injurious to the health, and it is
probable that no little disease is carried

A NEW YORK journal says: Iron has
certainly pushed wood almost off the ocean,
but it seems less likely than it did that
steam did wholly supersede sails. The
first iron sailing vessel ever built in this
country was launched at Roach's shipyard,
a. Chester on the Delaware, recently, and
it is expected that many others will be
constructed. 1t is found that there is a
growing demand for large iron sailing
vessels in England, and forty-four of
them were built on the Clyde in 1882,
twenty more than in 1881. For the trans
portation Of merchandise which does not
require quick movement they are more
economical than ships driven by steam.
The cost of coal 70 drive large ship
across the Atlantic makes an important
item in the expense of transportation, and
by avoiding it sailing vessels gain an ad-
vantage sufficient 10 permit them to offer
low rates. As iron and steel make much
lighter and more durable ships than wood
they will intimately be exclusively used
for the construction of ships, but as sails
are much cheaper than steam they will
be extensively used for the transportation
Of freight whose delivery is not required
to be very prompt.

TIMELY TOPICS.

BOB IKGERsoLL is getting to be noted as
an orator On funeral occasions. It is
thought his solemn platitudes are antago-
nistic to his atheistic, anti-immortality
dogmas. His theory is-the brain thinks;
the kidneys secrete urine, and at death the
nomore conscious existence in the one case
than the other beyond the grave-that the
body has no indwelling spiritual essence
that there is no soul-existence after death
that death is an external sleep-that human
beings are like the beasts that perish,
without any spiritual awakening. A con-
soIitory exhorter he must be at the grave
of buried love, in the dark hour of an
guished bereavement!

The word dude (du-de, pronounced in

rent and popular word, and will certainly

the next edition of Webster unabridged.
The wonder is that it is not already a die
tionary word, if as alleged, it has been in
use & score of years. The word is of rugged
New England origin, having been used for
twenty years past in the little town of Sa-
len, New Hampshire, where it is said to
have been coined. The meaning of the
word is an empty headed, languid
nered young swell who bangs, and parts
his hair in the middle, like the idiotic
Freddie, of Jersey Lily notoriety. 1t is
common in the place Of It's supposed coin
age 10 speak of a dapper young man as 6 a
dude of fellow" of a small animal as a

the word attained SO sudden and wide
spread a notoriety puzzles the little town
of Salem. Its revival in New York is credi-
ted to = distinguished Englishman, who
