Was Joan Of Arc Burned at the stake.


The Mayor OF Compiegne is quite
genius in his way. He know that the
prevailing notion was TO secularize every
thing, and consequently he invented
republican manifestation in honor of
Joan of Arc, the Maid Of Orleans, who
defended CompiegrIe against tho English
and Burgundians &n 1430, and was be-
trayed into the hands of John of Luxem-
bourg, who surrendcd her to tho English
mon who burned her Mt the stake in the
market-place at Roucn. The ruins of the
Maiden's Tower show where the Picardy
archer pulled tho unfortunate Joan from
her war-horse, and when those who are
fond of going back to the history of other
days think of the legend and then of that
horrible statue of the Maid Of Orleans Mt
the end of the Rue DIES Pyramidcs in
Paris, they must deplore tho fact that
the man of Picardy left no descendant
who would como forward and unhorse
tho figure that Burmomts the pedestal.
M. Charles Monselet has thrown somo
doubt on the legend of Joan of Arc hay
ing been burned by the English. He
quotes paragraph from the Mcrcurc Of
1853 announcing that certain documents
recently discovered led to the conclusion
that Joan Of Arc had been married, and
that, consequently, some unfortunate
victim must have been sacrificed in her
place at Rouon. The documents con-
sisted OF IN attestation made by Father
Vigner, who said: Five years after the
Judgment of Joan Of Arc, on the goth day
of May, Joan, the Maid, visited Metz
On the snmo day her brothers called to
SEQ her. They thought she had been
burned, but when they saw her they re-
cogniZed her at once. They took her
with them to Boquelon. Whercon yoe-
man named Nicolle gavo her n horse, and
two other persons contributed sword
and plumed hat, and tho said Maid
sprung very cleverly on the said horse,
saying multitude of things to the VOC
man Nicolle."
The old priest wrote this history with
his own hand, and made oath as to its
sincerity before q public notary, adding
rs n proof of what he had advanced a
copy of tho original contract of marriage
between "Robert des Armoises and Joan
of Arc, otherwise known as the Maid OF
Orleans" Compiegne has treasured NJ
faithful souvenir of tho heroine. and
about fifteen years ago subscription
was opened to enable the town to croct {
statue to her memory The idea was
started by rather unpopular person
and was soon allowed to drop The
present Mayor again took up the matter
and with the aid of the municipality hn.
| at length succeeded in giving the tow
statue Of tho Maid, whose words, .Tiyu
uoir me donS anis &c CoDpicgnc," have
been cut in the pedestal. !.-Lomdo,

Where to SEQ the Great Trottcrs OF New
HOrk.
GCincinnati Times-Star.1


No two mon in America have had more
experience with fine trotting stock, and
none are better judges than Calvin NJ.
Priest, of the New York Club Stables,
28th street near Fifth avenue and Dan
Mace, of the Excelsior Stables, West
29th street, New York, the champion
double-team driver oftho United States.
Both of these gentlemen say, that for
painful ailments in horses, such as cuts,
bruises, swellings, lameness, stiffness,
st. Jacobs Oil is superior to anything
they have ever used or heard of. This
is also the opinion of Prof. David Ro-
barge, the celebrated horse shoer of the
metropolis, and thousands of stock
owners throughout the country. AS q
pain-cure for man and beast, st. Jacobs
Oil has no equal. Mr.. Priest recites the
case OF a valuable trotter, SO stiff from
rheumatism, that he could not move an
inch. BY one, thorough application of
St. Jacobs Oil at night, the animal was
completely cured, and was fit for the
race-track the next day.

CRAZY DRUNK.

Il BGrOel's Wife Prores n TeritG6Ee AntG-
sOn, Dangerous to Meet-IShe Leads the
Police LireJy Dance.
Yesterday afternoon officer Caswell was
notified that his immediate presence was
required at G. R. Thompson's barber shop
on Fourth avenue south, near Washington
avenue. On arriving there the officer found
the wife of the barber indulging
in mad antics, which at once exhibited the
fact that she had "tipped the rosy" i'm
moderately, and the ''rosy" held full pos
session of her.
Mr.. Thompson was engaged at the time
in shaving customer. He was desirous
that no arrest should be made, if it could
possibly be avoided. Officer Casweil
consequently undertook to pacify her, but
to no avail. She seized a
brush from shaving cup and proceeded
to lather her face and acted more wild than
before. She then picked up a razor which
she at once began to flourish in q
threatening manner, remarking how easily
she could cut ones throat with its keen
edge. AS soon as it was safe for him to
make move the officer
seized the hand which grasped
the dangerous weapon. and then ensued a
lively matinee. The woman screamed vo-
ciferously and fought with the desperation
of an enraged tigress. She struck, kicked,
scratched, pulled hair and bit, much to the
discontinue of the officer, who says it was
one of the Iiveliest struggles of his life.
In the meantime the patrol wagon,
with assistance, had been summoned
from the station, and with the combined
efforts of Officers Hill and Caswell, the
woman, after much effort was placed in
the wagon and taken to the lookup. Off
Ger Caswell was pretty severely scratched,
while Officer Hill had the tips of his fin
gers nearly bitten off.
A physician being summoned, stated
that the woman was suffering an attack OF
collie, combined with female complaint,
which rendered her irresponsible for her
conduct, but the officers have another way
Of explaining it.

Public PARKS.

Ab 8 o'clock this morning a meeting of
the Minneapolis board of trade will be
held, at which the matter of the amended
bill which is to be presented to the state
legislature, the object Of which Is to create
a public park commission, will be discuss
ed. Col King, the secretary, has extended
an invitation to the Legislative delegation
from Hennepin county to be in attendance,
and it is hoped that they viii be in at
tendance.
In its anne ded form it is claimed by
the originetors, ali those objectionable
points heretofore mentioned in the GLOBE
have been done away with and nothing
But just AID practicable sections
remain. This may be the case, and it is
hoped that it is, but the GLOBE reporter
has nevertheless, heard hints made by those
who have read the amended bill which i'm
pressed him with the fear that there WAS
still ''woodchuck in the fence" At all
events the public spirited citi-
zens who are laboring so zeal
ously to secure the establishment
of a series of public parks in Minneapo-
lis, should by this time awake TO the real
ization of the fact that no surreptitious
.rickery will be tolerated The park bill
must not be in the interests of class OF
spectators, but, as originally contem-
plated, in the interest of the general pub
lie. No city of the size and prosperity OF
Minneapolis can well afford to be without
parks,

ed the cause of the death.
The deceased was single man about
thirty years of age and was recently i'll the
employ OF Schultze d Milligen, but was
discharged on account of drunkenness.
Since and even before his discharge he has
been depressed in spirits, and since his
dismissal has been drinking more heavily
than before, and On several occasi ons ex-
pressed the
WISH THAT lie MIGHT DIE.
A few days ago he entered the Office of
Gunnison & Fay, sign painters, and told a
friend that he was going to buy drink of
whisky and then
JUMP INTO THE RIVER.
Fearing that he would puthis threat into
execution the friend accompanied
him out offering to get him rope with
which to hang himself, and in that way
laughed him out of the notion. A few days
later he was heard to say that if he did not
die suddenly and soon,
HE WOULD KILL HIMSELF.
Since Thursday he had been on a drunk

brother in conversation with a GLOBE re-
porter yesterday gave it as HIS opinion
that the deceased was so much under the in
fuence of liquor as not to know what he
was doing at the time when
he took the fatal dose.
and further asserted that the druggist who
sold the poison was
CRIMINALLY NEGLIGENT
in selling it to drunken man.
The coroner was notified and took charge
of the remains, which he ordered removed
to Warmers undertaking rooms. AS it is
clearly case of deliberate self destrrc-

be held.

A North Carolina Bonanza.
Especial Telegram to the Globe. |

FAYETTEVILLE, N. c., Feb. 11-North
Carolina has bonanza king who now
counts his wealth by the hundred thous-
ands. The lucky man is John Barnes, of
Moore county. few weeks ago his earth
Iy possessions consisted of half dozen
half-starved coon dogs and a twenty acre
lot of barren land in Moore county. About
fortnight ago Barnes discovered gold on
his farm, and prudently kept the secret to
himself and moved the precious metals as
best he could. He obtained more than 100
pounds of gold, and then disposed of part
of his land for $4,000, reserving a
large part for himself.
Barnes is now considered
the wealthiest man in eastern North Caro-
lima. He is preparing to build for himself
a residence short distance from the spot
where he discovered his gold. The coon
dogs, who were his constant and almost
sole companions in his poverty, are to be
kindly cared for.
