p~reviHkMkAsdst de4e in the
family as heirlooAs and souvenirs,
having came with the De Foe family
into England from Flanders, while
they were fleeing from the persecution
OF Philip ". At the time Mr., Trim
Die presented the chair to the Histori-
cal Society Schriner's Monthly MAY,
1870 gave a lengthy description OF 1t
and its fellow, also an accurate photo
graph of it.
Mr.. Trimble kindly allowed an in
spection of the remaining chair in his
possession, and it can only be said that
to the eye of one unaccustomed to
seeing antique furniture of the fifteenth
or sixteenth centuries it appeared to be
a very curious and novel piece OF
workmanship. The wood is similar
in color to that of ebony and appar-
emily as hard. The carving and vine
work is well executed, and is pre-
served almost In its original condition,
except having the Chinese wicker-work
on the seat worn out, which was re-
placed by the author De Foe, who used
it afterward while writing "RobinsOn
Crusoe" and other productions. The
chair, in shape, has a very high,
straight and narrow back, to us a po-
sition of uncomfort. Mr.. Trimble
contemplates presenting this chair to
some historical society in P~ennsylya'
mia shortly. Mr.. Trimble is now en-
gagged in the revision of some rare old
manuscript which he has; also, in
writing the history of several noted
Cecil county families with whom he
had personal acquaintance in former
years.
Mrs. Trimble lives and shares the
honors of her husband, who, outside of
his genealogical reputation, enjoys a
local notorlety as al astronomer of no
mean ability. His affection for flowers
is attested by the tasty and pretty
garden surrounding his home. At
this pleasant home they have been
visited by many of our literary cele-
brities and others.
The Penn's Grove record., 1884-03-29

Mr.. Blaine the other evening gave
some interesting information about his
habits of working. Before entering
public life be was a trained writer. In
Congress he acquired great skill as an
orator. and developed an extraordinary
ability expressing himself in the best
possible upon the very shortest
notice. One would think that his skill
as a ready talker on his feet would
make his work easy in preparing his
book. With agood secretary ,one might
imagine that he co~uld.readily dictate
every one of the chapters of the book.
He says, however, that he is able to
dictate to an advantage only where the
chapters in his book partake of the
narrative form. For anything beyond
that he is obliged to sit down and labor
with his brain and his good right hand.
He says that he does not believe that
any work of high literary excellence
can be accomplished by dictation. He
says that in writing there are three
sentinels standing guard over the brain.
The two eyes and the hand are between
the brain and any crude form of ex-
preston. These restraints have a con-
slant tendency to check faults and to
polish m~eritCrious sentences. When a
writer dictates there is no special
stimulus to high effort, and there is
no restraint. Mr.. Blaine was asked
how he accounted for the fact that
in his speeches his English was
always of such a high order. I'm
der excitement, and speaking appar-
emily without restraint, his sentences
are clear, vigorous and models for their
clean simplicity. Is not speaking o this
kind dictationp Where is the restraint
as to the choice of forms? He said that
there was all the difference in the world
between speaking to an audience and
debating to a secretary. The audience
was in itself a restraint upon a speaker.
That mysterious something known as
the magnetic influence, existing always
between a mar who can move an audi
ence and those addressed is the con-
trolling influence which shapes thought
and forms sentences. No man can
produce a real impression upon an audi
ence without establishing this magnetic
sympathy. The absence of this SYM
pathy betrays the dull speaker. A
man who is incapable of moving an
audience could probably dictate as well
as he could write. But after all, it
would be the o~utpouring ofmere words.
MI. Blaine said that he never hoped to
attain in his writing anything like the
excellence of style reached by him in
the intense excitement of public speak
ing. In his work upon his book he
does not average wei 1000 words a
day. He thinks this is all that any man
should try to do WHIP aims at excellence
in purely literary work. Some days
he has gone much above this, but he is
quite content if he can only maintain
his average.

Recently 8 distressing and peculiar &C.
cideht occurred q short distance this side
of Georgetown, on the Colorado Central.
The train had lett for Denver and had on
board about thirty passengers. The place
where the accident occurred is on a curve
near the point of a mountain, and where,
when the wind blows, it comes down the
gully for all 1t Is worth. There is an i'm
mense amount of sand in that vicinity,
and when the wind blows ferociously it
requires a large force of men to keep the
track cleared 30 that trains may pass, as 1t
drifts like snow and Is much more formld-
able.
The wind blew with unusual force.
Just as the train struck that portion of the
road but a short distance from the suburbs
of Georgetown the fireman looked back
and saw the rear end OF the real coach
raised bodily from the track. He yelled
to the engineer and they both jumped from
the engine. Just then the wind roared
past and the whole tram was lifted bod
lily and turned completely over, landing
about ten feet from the track n with
out disturbing a rail or tie. Then there
was great confusion. The bowling, roar
ing wind and the yells and screams OF
the men and women who had been so sud
denly n unceremoniously upset made a
scene of unparalleled confusion. Seven Of
the passengers we're injured. About three
years ago a similar accident occurred at
the same place, but no one was injured.
The passengers of the belated train arrived
in Denver about ten hours late.

Jacobs Well.
renorSe.

The state of Jacobs Well is, doubt
less, well known to the majority of
your readers, even to those who have
not themselves visited the Holy Land.
1t has again and again been described
by the many writer's ON Palestine, and
all have mentioned their disappoint-
ment that instead of finding any SEM
blance to a well, or anything which
could recall the interview of IN Lord
with the woman of Samaria, they have
merely found a dark irregular hole amid
a mass of ruins in a Yaulted chamber
beneath the surface OF the ground. l
have shared this disappointment on
many previous visits to Nablus, and.
again as, a fortnight ago, we stood be-
side the spot, it was with great regret
that we were SC utterly unable to picture
before us the scene so graphically de
scribed by the Evangelist. We had
clambered down into the vault, and
we're vainly attempting to peer into the
dark hole amid the heaps of stones and
rubbish, when we CHANGED to notice, a
few feet from the opening, a dark crack
between the stones. Fancying that
possibly it might be another opening Of
the well, we removed some stones and
earth, and soon were able to trace part
of a carved aperture in a large slab OF
stone. Deeply interested at finding
this, we cleared away more earth and
stones, and soon distinguished the cir
cular part of the well, though it was
blocked by an immense mass of stone.
Calling to aid two men who were look
ing on, with considerable labor we at
length managed to remove 1t. ana the
opening of the well was clear. 1t is
impossible to describe our feelings as we
gazed down the open well, and sat on
that ledge on which, doubtless, the
Saviour rested, and felt with our fingers
the grooves in the stone caused by ropes
by which the water pots were drawn
up.

Relics OF DefOe.

On the picturesque range of Chester
hills that rise nobly above the waters
of the historic Brandywine, two and a
half miles from Chadd's Ford, Penn
sylvania, is "a spot prominent in Rev.
olutionary times as the cen of Lord
Howe's successful route of General
Washington's army in September, 1777.
Situated upon the highest eminence of
these hills is the village of Fairville, a
hamlet of less than a hundred lnhabi-
tants, principally composed of the de-
nomination of Friends. The Ken
nett pike-the high road to Whining
ton-passes through the quiet village.
The dwellings mostly front Oh it, leav-
ing a clear foreground and al excellent
view toward the west, from whence
the setting sun floods the hill SUBMITS
with crlmson light.
A modest three-story brick house,
the plainest and the most modern in
the village and in its surroundings
the contest and most comfortable of
them all, crowns the steep ascent by
which Fairville is reached on the road
from the railroad station. In this
dwelling lives one who has the regret
to be the last descendant of the De
Foe family in America. This is James
Trimble, upon whom l had occasion to
call a few evenings SINCE.
Mr.. Trimble was born in Noting
ham, Cecil county, Maryland, in
March, 1899, thus placing him in the
eighty.ffth year of his age. Mr.. Trim
BILE is a lineal descendant of Elizabeth
Maxwell, daughter of Daniel De Foes
widowed sister, who came from Eng
land to this country in 1925 and mar
ried and settled at the above place. In
his earlier years Mr.. Trimble developed
a remarkable taste for botanical stu
dies, which attracted the attention of
the noted DR.. Darlington, of West
Chester, which soon led into intimate
acquaintanceship and subsequent CO.
operation with that gentleman in the
botanical research of the surrounding
country. At this period Mr.. Trimble
was quoted as "being able to designate
by its botanical name any wild plant
that grew N Cecil or Chester coun-
ties" Mr.. Trimble, until a few years
since, pursued the vocation OF farm
ing; retiring from the pastoral labors
and tolls he took up his residence in
this village.
A short time ago he presented to the
Friends Society of Philadelphia a rare
copy of Churchman'S Concordance OF
the Bible" a volume Of value and mer-
it, it being bequeathed to him in 1904
by a granddaughter of its author, John
C~hurchman, the Friends minister.
Accompanying the present were some
personal "reminiscences OF the authors
family by Mr.. Trimble, extracts from
which have lately heen published in
the regular editions of the Friend.
In 1876 Mr.. Trimble presented to
the Delaware Historical Society at
Wilmington one of two chairs that be-
longed to the study furniture of De
Foes sister, which he used while there
in hiding from arrest for issuing sedl-
tious pamphlets and other papers
during the exciting times OF l7Oo.
These chairs were sent, with other fur
