made some unpleasant remarks about
Heine's household in letter written
from Paris to the Mayence Gazette. The
poet, on the day before his marriage,
sent Theophile Gautier and Alphonsus
Roger to demand an apology from
Strauss. The correspondent selected as
his seconds Raspail, the chemist and
GermaI literary man named Kolloff.
Strauss wished to fight with sabres. but
Heine insisted for pistols. 1t took eight
hours for the seconds to arrange for the
affair. Strauss hestated. "He must
come on the ground" said Heine, "even
if have to drag him to the great wall
OF China" The duel took place in the
Saint German valley, and two pistol
shots were fred. One of them struck
Heine in one of his thighs, and some
of his friends were fond of saying that
his paralysis dated from that injury.
Heine himself never cleared up the
question.
Three years after their marriage the
brilliant Heine fell i'll; in two years he
was paralyzed.. From that moment he
no longer quilted his mattress tomb, as
he called 1t. For eight years he suffered
atrocious tortures, day and night, with
out moment of repose. He used to
say, with a gayety that was rather Curl
Gus, that he had never quite made on t
whether his disease was q French soften
ing of the spinal marrow or German
phthisis of the dorsal column. 'All l
know, he was won't to say, sis that it is
very frightful malady, which tortures
not only my nervous system, but my
thinking system night and day. At GER
tain moments, especially, when the
cramps are holding veritable revel on
my vertebral column, feel FACILITATING
in my inner self kind of doubt as to
the reality of the assertion which old
Professor Hegel used to make in my
hearing % years ago--that man is di.
vine biped." Toward the close of his
life, and when his death was expected
almost daily. he penned in his CORE
spondence this little sinister saying:
my wife weeps now whenever I talk of
moving from this apartment" The wife
was entirely justified In weeping, for she
knew that there could be but one more
move for the poet, who had had many
lodgings, and who had not been able to
pay for them in his time, and that this
last encouragement would be to the
cemetery. How unhappy the worms
will be" he said one day With an odd
smile, when they find 1 have invited
them to banquet of nothing but
bones"
For eight years Nine. Heine was adj
mirable in her devotion and patience.
She believed in the possibility of cure.
She found some moments of gayety to
amuse HIM, but often it was in vain.
Both remained silent for long time.
and then the young wife would say
with a smile, This is German CONVEX
sationp' Heine used often to say dur
ing his illness that he had two consola-
tions-his French wife and his German
muse Since Heine's death in 1856 his
widsH has lived at Passy surrounded
with care and affection by the members
of his family. She has now been buried
beside him in the old Montmarte ceme-
terry, where repose SO many men Of
genius. Theirs said of him: This Ger
man is the greatest and wittiest French
man that France has seen since Vol
taire's time"

There have been many very flatter-

Grand Trunk Railway lately by the
press throughout the State, for their
rapid improvements ana evident desire
ana determination to make the line

it in the estimation OF the public as
superior 10 all others. In this, they
have evidently been successful, as is at
tested Ivy the fact OF their largely in
creased patronage. Express trains both
east and west are heavily loaded Pheir
numerous connections with other lines
throughout the State place them In
position to reach all the principal points
with us quick time, few changes, and
low fare as by any other route. For
business for Chicago and the West they
stand without a rival. Three through
express trains are run daily between
Port Huron and Chicago. These trains
are composed OF first. class coaches,
Pullman sleeping cars and new and
elegant dining cars, drawn by the new
mammoth Jumbo" passenger engines,
noted for their fast time. These trains
arrive at Chicago in ample time to
make connections with all lines for the
West. Through tickets are issued at
Port Huron to all points ia the West,
and in all cases baggage is checked
through TO destination. This is an i'm
provemont that should be appreciated
by the travelling pablo, especially when
there are ladies and children. When
you are once ticketed at Port Huron

An Old Question.

The New York World says: "Dur-
ing almost twenty years the question
whether justice or injustice was done
to Fitz John Porter by the Stanton
Pope court-martial has been kept con-
stantly before the people Of this coun-
try. Every nook and every corner of
the question has been investigated and
considered. Nobody, actually nobody
who has used his head for any other
purpose than to carry his hat, has ever
doubted that the original trial and con-
viction of Porter were governed not by
military considerations, but by politi-
cal considerations, The real litigants
were Pope and Mcclellan, between
whom Porter Jared like Pickwick be-
tween the rival editors. Pope being a
man essentially base, and taking Me-
Clellan to be of his own quality, be-
lieved that Mcclellan was capable of
wishing to see Pope, as his successor
come to grief 1t was but a step from
this to assume that Porter sympathiZ-

ter's arrest, trial, condemnation and
sentence. Had not Lincoln, Stanton,
and the Republican leaders generally
believed that Mcclellan was in train
ing as Democratic Presidential cam
didate, Porter would never have been
unustly accused as he was or unjustly
condemned az he WAS This is d sim
pie historical fact nearly century old.
The truth is, and it may as we'll be
frankly stated, the country is weary of
the Fitz John Porter case and wishes
to be we'll rid of it by relieving its con-
science in the only way in which the
national conscience can be relieved by
thoroughly setting aside the Stanton
Pope verdict. The case is foul relic
of the civil war and Of the demoraliza-

IRONTON, MO-, THURSDAY. JANUARY II. 1888
Poker. for High Stakes.

George L. Waters, the colored jani-
tor of the Stockto Nevada, City Hall,
related an incident the other day to a
reporter of the Stockton Mail concern
ing big poker game in which Senator
John r. Jones, of Nevada, was play
er. Waters had been in the employ of
certain Congressman around the Capt.
tol at Washington for many years, and
his statement may be accepted as true.
1t was several years ago, before the
millionaire had become thoroughly
posted in the ways of Washington So
ciety. Almost before he had thor
Oughly warmed his seat in the Senate
he was introduced into the District
Club. of which Boss Shepherd was a
prominent member. Poker at that time
was the prominent recreation of the
club, and Jones was induced to take a
hand. Although good poker player,
he retired from the game loser to the
amount of $4,000. = The Senator, hav-
ing few silver mines at his back for
y
allow the least expression Of chagrin
or distrust to escape him. The next
morning he telegraphed to one of the
most expert card sharps in Virginia
City. Eight days afterward the gam
bier arrived in Washin ton, dressed in
very expensive suit of clothes and
sporting fortune in the way of dia-
monds. Jones introduced him to the
club as a mining millionaire from Ne
vada, and the Star Route frauds and
Navy Yard thieves Immediately made
arrangements to pluck him. He ac-
cepted an Invitation to play. The
stakes ran high, and the spurious
millionaire was we'll supplied with
Jones' money. At the end of the
tournament the stranger rose from the
table the winner of S300,0e0 OF the
club. 1t was a severe blow to the
ringsters; but they made the people OF
the United States pay it back to them
indirectly and in short order. Jones
divided the swag with his freud and
never set foot in the club-rooms again.
1t was not long after before the ring
sters found out that they had been
beaten at their own game, but they
were not in position to make any fuss
about it.

The Man Who Never Advertises.

OF him who labors but that he may wait:
The piles of goods heaped up within his store.
Which can't be less, and never may be more;
The man whose life has lost all fortunes

In fact, the man who never advertises.
Sing of his start, his great ambitions scope.
The capital that gave him cause to hone.
His credit large, his full and ample stock,
His bank account Ms solid rs u rock;
Then tell the doom to which the man was
fatcd
Who never advertised, but simply waited.
SO simply, and so vainly! Splendid signs,
Which basement art irradiates and refines.
Plate glass show windows elegantly dressed,
Such lovely clerks, cashiers, and all the rest,
Served but to show him how the public sizes
The style OF him who never advertises.
He waited, and all waited; clerks, cashiers.
statesmen, saleswOlnen, such delightful dears,
Impatient waited all the season through,
With precious little for the crowd to do.
The public saw that fact there's no denying
But passed the store without q thought Of
buying.
Business was dull. but salaries and rent
Went on till cash and credit both were spent;
The silly merchant hoped his luck would
turn,
Until the sheriff closed the whole concern.
Now. III n pittance which hIs aonl tispises,

[From Recent After-Dinner Address by
Mark Twain.
Among the Fans, great negro tribe,
a woman, when dressed for home or to
go out shopping or calling, doesn't
wear anything at all but her complex
ion. This is all. It is her entire out
fit 1t is the lightest costume in the
world, but it is made of the darkest
material. 1t has often been mistaken
for mourning. 1t is the trinmest and
neatest and gracefulest costume that is
now in fashion. It wears we'll; is fast
colors, doesn't show dirt; you don't
have to send it down town to wash
and have some of it scortched with the
f1at-iron, and some of it with the but
sons ironed off, and some of it petrified
with starch, and some of it chewed by
the calf. and some OF it rotted with
acid, and some of it exchanged for 9TH
er costumes, things that haven't any
virtue but holiness and ten-twelfths of
the pieces overcharged for and the rest
of the dozen mislaid; and 1t always fits;
it is the perfection of fit; and it is the
handiest dress i'll the whole realm of
fashion. 1t is always ready, always
"done up"
When you call on "Fan" lady and
take seat you don't hear "madam is
dressing; she'll be down in three-quar-
ters of an hour" No; madam is al
ready dressed; always ready to receive,
and before you can get the door-mat
before your eyes she is in your midst.
Then again, the Fan Indies don't 60 to
church to see what each other has got
on, and they don't go back home and
describe it-slander it.
Such is the dark child of savagry as
to everyday toilet, and thus curiously
enough she finds a point of intact with
the fair daughter of civilization and
high fashion who often has nothing
to wear" and thus these widely-sepa-
rated types of the sex meet upon COM
mon ground.
Yes, such is the "Fan" woman as
she appears in her simple, unostenta-
tious, everyday toilet; but on state oc-
casions she is more dressy. At a ban
quet she wears bracelets, at a lecture
she wears earrings and belt, at ball
she wears stockings, and, with true
feminine fondness for display, she
wears them Oh her arms. At we'd
ding the bride who can afford it puts
on pantaloons. Thus the dark child of
savagry and the fair daughter of civil
liza ton met once more upon common
ground, and these two touches of ma
ture make the whole sex kin.

Robert Morris, the negro lawyer who
lately died in Boston, left pro perty
worth 100000. There was something
singular about his profitable clientage.
He went to the bar when prejudice
against his color was very strong, and
yet his clients were for long time al
most entirely among the Irish people,
who had great faith in his legal pow
ers. On the other hand, the negroes
of the city were rather shy of him, and
he never gained much practice from
them.
