made by Breguet at Paris, with a map of
Spain most admirably enamelled on the
case. Sir Edward Paget bought 1t at
Paris and gave it to me. What do you
think the history Of this watch was-at
least the history that Breguet told me?
BOnaparte had ordered it as a present to
his brother, the King of Spain, but when
he heard of the battle of VittOria-he was
then at Dresden in the midst of all the
preparations and negotiations of the arm
istice, and, one would think, sufficiently
busy with other matterS-when he heard
of the battle Of Nitt0ria, say. he remem-
bered the watch he had ordered for one
whom he saw would never be King
of Spain, and with whom he was angry
for the loss of the battle, and ne wrote
from Dresden to countermand the watch
and II II should be ready, to forbid its be-
ing sent. The best apology one can make
for this strange littleness is that he was
offended with Joseph; but even in that
case gentleman would not have taken
the moment when the poor devil had lost
his cbdtedVT en- EspdgRe to take away his
watch also. All those cOdicils to his viii,
in which he bequeathed millions to the

attempting to assassinate me, is another
proof of bitterness of mind. the DrODartv
he really had he had already made his
disposition of. For the payment of all
those other high-sounding legacies there
was not the shadow of a fund. He might
as well have drawn bills for ten millions
on that pump at Aldgate. We had on
our way driven past it While he was
writing all these magnificent donations he
knew that they were all in the air, all a
falsehoOd. For my part, L can see no
magnanimity in lie, and confess that

A SEA SERPENT KILLED.
The Marvellous Adventure OF a WhaIil
Crew in the Arctic.

The Marvellous Adventure OF a Whaling
Crew in the Arctic.
The San Francisco Chronicle makes the
following report of strange adventure
to boats crew from the whaling bark
Alaska in the Arctic Ocean. The story
told by the first officer, George johnson,
is to the following effect: "On the 10th OF
last October, when the vessel was forty
six miles south Of Alaska, an object was
perceived in the distance, whose proper.
lions and shape indicated it to be a mon
ster sea lion. A boat was Immediately
lowered and placed in charge of First
Officer johnson and five of the crew,
named Andrew Nelson, William Wilson
Antoine Niaga, George Marshfeld and
Hans Stuten. AS the distance was being
decreased between the bark and the huge
animal, they became convinced that it
was the famed sea serpent. When they
came within few hundred yards, the
monster made dash for the boat, strik-
ing out its immense tail against the craft.
Several OF the occupants were precipi-
tated into the water, but were rescued
with difficulty. A harpoon and lance
were fired into the body of the beast, and
il disappeared beneath the surface. Halt
an hour later it reappeared, floating on
the water, dead. 1t was secured with
ropes and lowed to the vessel and hoisted
on the deck. There the capture was seen
to be Misunderstanding thing. Its head
closely resembled that of a lizard. 1t
measured thirty-three feet in length, the
tail alone being nine feet long. The tail
was cut off and stuffed and brought to
this city, and is now on exhibition in a
waterfront saloon In San Francisco"

BUCHANANs HOPELESS LOVE,
A Rich Old Lady Who Has a Heart
Secret.

q L
Secret.
"reminiscences of Democratic admins
tratiOns of years gone by, says a Wash
ington letter, are constantly coming to
light. 'Right over there,o said an old
society beau recently, pointing to brown
stone front near the Executive Mansion,
'lives woman who might have been
mistress OF the White House under Demo-
cratic rule if she had seen fit to accept
the hand of James Buchanan. She comes
from a very wealthy Pennsylvania family,
and was cOurted by Mr.. Buchanan. Her
people wanted her to marry him, but she
didn't want to. She loved poor clergy
man, rector of church in her town. but
the family didn't want her to marry him,
and so they arranged that he should be
quietly transferred to another post, some
hundreds or thousands OF miles away.
This broke up the match and the maiden
too, for she went into retirement at once
and has married nobody. Neither the
Punishment of her clergyman nor the ele-
walton OF Mr.. Buchanan to the Presidency
could make her change her mind, and she
remained and remains single. She is an
old, withered and sad woman, living there
alone with her widowed sister in that
great mansion, with actually more money
than they know how to use. They are
the richest people in Washington,
possibly excepting Mr.. COrcOraD, and they
do nothing with the wealth except to keep
UP their magnificent establishment and
pet a lot of cats and dogs" The lady re-
ferred to is the one of whom the story is
told that Mr.. COrcOran one day sent her a
polite note somewhat as follows: my
DEAR MADAM: l have been for some
time thinking of enlarging the Arlington
Hotel. If you will state the value of
your brown-stone mansion adjoining,
will send you my check for the amount"
To which she replied: ''MY DEAR MIR.
CORCORAN: / have for some time been
thinking of enlarging my flower garden.
If you will state the value of the Airing
ton Hotel adjoining, will send you my
check for the amount"

"shoot the White Feather. (,
Washin0toa CapitaI.


A nice point in regard to postage came
up the other day in the post Office depart
ment. A clever type of Young America
painted bird Of white plumage on a
piece of the monument marble. Below it
he put with brush the words, ''ShOOt the
white feather" and sent the souvenir by
mail to Roscoe COnkling, preparing the
postage required by weight. The ex.
Senator acknowledged the gift in a pretty
note to the boy and incidentally mem
toned paying extra postage on its de-
livery. Young America naturally felt a
trife chagrined, having paid all that was
required here, and set about Investigate
ing the reason for the extra charge. The
wise men Of the post Office department
decided that the words ''ShOOt the white
feather" though painted with the brush,
was not printed matter, but writing. and
therefore was subject to letter rate Of
9stage.

Is TiIden Opposing Ravard.

Washington Correspondence of the Cincinnati
Enquirer.
In connection with his (Bayard's) visit
there is report coming from New York
to the effect that Cleveland will not select
Bayard for Cabinet position, because
Tilden is bitterly hostile to him. It is
claimed by Tilden's friends that he and
they nominated and elected Cleveland.
and that he cannot go back on them or dis
regard Tilden's wishes. On the other
hand, it is asserted by Democrats high in
the party that Cleveland owes TiIden
nothing. 1t is stated by men who were
in New York during the canvass, and
who are familiar with the Democratic
management, that Tilden gave only few
thousand dollars and really made no sort
of effort in behalf of the ticket.
1t is said that Tilden is hostile to Bayard
because of the formers belief that the
Delaware Senator and Thurman were
mainly responsible for the electoral CON-
mission bill. In answer to this friends of
Bayard say that he and Thurman used
every exertion to get an expression of
opinion from Tilden about the electoral
bill, and that finally the late G.. n. Potter
and several others who were said to re-
present Tilden asserted that he left the
matter entirely in their hands, and that
these men accepted the electoral commits

Island, WEEDS Thomas mclaughlin.
Nedo York Sun, Dec. IS.
The chief topic of conversation on Staten
Island. during the past three davs has been
the marriage of Mrs. Emma Britton. the
widow of the late Abram Britton, to her
c0achman, who is Familiarity known as
Tommy Mclaughlin. The Brittons are a
very old family on the island, holding
their property through a crown grant
made in the early history of the colony of
New York. Mrs. Britton was a member
of the Vredenberg family, also one of the
old families of the island. They were
neighbOrs of Commodore Vanderbilt when
he was in the sloop business.
Mrs. BrittOn had been a widow for seYe-
raj years. She had good estate, and
kept stylish coaches and horses. Some
months ago she engaged Thos. McLaugh,
lin to care for the horses. He worked
few days, and then took sick and VENT

She said:
"We are married legally and lawfully.
My family know of the marriage, and
they are the only persons that l care for.

giving any details. If l chose to marry a
young man, and he was poor, that may be
for some others to know, but
shall not entertain them with any particu-
lars of my courtship or marriage, or my
ideas or plans hereafter"
Members of her family decline to talk
about the matter further than to say that
they are panied, and that they are not in
terested in the further movements of Mrs.
Mclaughlin.

An Exploded Boom

A long, lank, lean and chronic Anti-Potash
Boom met the new, fat and saucy Atlanta
Big Bold Boom, on hot, sultry day.
''Who are your" asked the B. B. b. Boom.
81 am the old Anti-Potash Boom" was the
sad reply, as the perspiration rolled Gown,
and it leaned heavily on the B. B. B. Boom
for support.
Don't lean on me-" said the B. B. B. Boom.
81 may look strong, but 1 am quite young
only II months old, am growing rapidly, and
am mighty weak in the knees. am doing
the work which you have failed to do, although
you are 80 years old. You are old, and tough,
and rich, and don't require support. But
what causes you to look so thin of late?"
"Well. L hardly know" replied the Anti
Potash Boom. MY physician tells me that
my abilities have been Over-rated, and that
while trying to whip out all opposition by
boast and brag, that l have proven my in
ability. Old age is also creeping on me-having
fought near so years before any one knew
was living-and now | am unable to perform
feats that others are doing. / am collapsed

BETTER LET HIM ALONE.

This is the way in which Mr.. Hal
ley's organ refers to one of the truest
men who ever lived:
Next to the election OF MIR. HALEY,
that which gives cause for rejoicing
among all honorable men, is the utter
defeat of +. A. Wall. so called Demo-
crat, of Alturas county, on the ticket
for Joint Councilman with Boise. Old
HALEY trailed him to his den, and sim
gle. handed knocked him too dead to
stink in one round. Thus ever be it
and ever is it with his kind.
II the old whi"ky-guzzler OF the
Boise Democrat had any sense he
would leave Colonel Wall alone, and
endeavor to win him back-,f, indeed
he has ever straycd from the party
ranks. A better friend of the miner
of true Democracy, OF every worthy
cause, never lived than that same Col
onel Wall which the Boise paper in
suits so brutally; and the day will YET
come, in Idaho, when men OF Colone
Wallis stamp will be begged to take
the lead in movement agains
reasonable. beastly organization, thu
existence of which is a blot upol
American civilization.

The view is held by Professor
Boyd Dawkins, the eminent English
anthropologist, that the Eskimos of
American Arctic regions are the sur
vivors Of the prehistoric race known
in Europe as the "cave-dwellers. :"
The evidence brought forward to
prove the correctness of this assump-
ton is, howevec, not generally ac-
cepted as conclusive.

the old country; but if we take off
the tariff, they would stay at home,
knowing that they would not be able
to benefit themselves by coming here.
We would have to close our own fac
tories, etc, and i: would be but Il
short time until we were reduced to a
levt with China.
We do not want any free trade in
ours, and nope the Democrats will not
attempt 10 enforce it.

HOW FREE TRADE WILL WORK.

From present indications, it would
seem that the Democratic party have
made clean sweep, and that they are
going to occupy the house the Re-
publicans have had charge of for the
past "a years. The Republican party
built fence around American indus
tries, when they declared themselves
in favor of high tariff, and it is to
he hoped the Democrats will not tear
that fence down and declare that they
are able to protect their premises
without it. Ii they do tear it down,
they will find America is the ant'hill
of Europe. Take nest of ants, and
they pick out \ place to build on.
Each carries something to the hill
that it thinks is necessary, and we
find it takes them but little while
to do u great deal of work. Take
away the tariff, and the ants of Eu-
rope will see that America is a good
place to build on. The German ant
will bring little silver, the Spanish
ant will bring lead, the English ant
will bring cloth and hardware; and so
we could go through the list. We
would find the place that had been
reserved for the American ant has
been taken by the foreigners, and the
Yankee will have to find another
building location.
Mr.. Free Trade Democrat says: 81
can ouy my clothing cheaper in Eng
land than can in America. What do
! care Cor my neighbor, the tailor? l
am going to buy where l can get the
most for my money"
The tailor says: GAN right, Mr..
Democrat. | will buy my needles,
sewing machines, etc, in England. |
know you are manufacturing those
articles, but can buy cheaper out
side, and am going to do my trading
there"
Mr.. De nocrat then says: Swell,
if you buy your goods outside, | will
have to shut up shop, because | can
not compete with the cheap foreign
labor" How strange he did not
think of that when he said he would
buy his clothing in European market
lie only saw one side then; now he
sees two.
We depend on each other for sup
port, but il we find it will be of ad
vantage to US to buy our supple:
outside Of the United States, then the
quicker we do away with protection
the better. When England sent the
poor Irish to us for support, she wa:
told that we did no, want them. Tn,
Chinese came here IN such number
We had to pass an anti Chinese law
because we could not compete will
them on our own ground.
Democrats were among the strong
est advocates OF that law. and nov
they say they are in favor Of FREE
trade. In other words, if John Chi
naman and the poo. Irish working TO
England will only stay at home to d.
their work. they can send their pro
ducts to America, and dispose of then
without having to pay for the priv
lege of doing so.
