Great Mems Bones.

There recently died in Fairfax Coun-
ty, Va, one Henry Lamb, whose entire
life was spent in the neighborhood of
the Washington mansion, at Mount
Vernon. and who always asserted that
the vault containing the remains OF
Washington had been violated and the
skull carried away to France, where it
was sold to firm of phrenologists,
who subsequently issued work the
front page of which presented an illus
tration setting forth its measurements
and proportions. The agents of this
dissertation he asserted were the sail
ors of French ship, anchored in the
Potomac, near by. The skull which
was taken away was replaced by that
of negro servant OF Colonel Fairfax.
This story seems to have obtained Gre
dence in the neighborhood, as an in
dignation meeting was held at the time,
in which Mr.. Lamb participated. He
always affirmed its truth, and his death
has revived and given it currency anew.
About the time of the alleged robbery
Congress passed an act providing for
the erection of crypt in the Capitol
to contain the remains of Washington,
but for some reason it was never erect
ed. 1t would seem as il this alarming
tale ought to engage attention compe-
tent to dispose of it one way or the
other, as nobody wants to expand with
sorrowing emotion on the wrong set OF
relics. According to this legend that
is what visitors to Mount Vernon have
been doing for the latter part of CEN
fury.
Apropos of this somewhat gloomy
subject, the mummied face of Crom-
well is in the possession of an English
gentleman. the wart upon the nose
still showing and the bristling eyebrows
telling yet of Naseby and Drogheda
and the dispersal of the Parliament.

Napoleon Ill. i'm a Rage.

The late Emperor knew how to keep
his temper, and could, under trying
circumstances, maintain the stolidity
of phlegmatic German. One day he
gave audience to great parsonage,
with whom he had some important
business to discuss. The Emperor
spoke with his usually calm and drag
ging tones, and although his visitor
frequently grew excited he never rails
ed his voice above its usual tone.
When his audience was over Napoleon
escorted his visitor to the door, shook
hands with him, smiling, and then re-
turned to his cabinet, the door of
which he locked after him. Then,
Selling the fre-shovel, he set about
smashing the looking-glasses, lustres,
clock. chairs, and picture-framcs, ut
tering loud cries of rage. He did not
stop until ne had broken everything in
to atoms. The truth is, Napoleon had
come off second best in the recent dis
cussion, and he sought thus to wreak
his vengeance on certain objects which
did not enjoy the protection of spiked
helmets.-La POlaeSse.

SKYE.

Ireland, in her contest for land reform,
finds an unexpected and enthusiastic ally
in the island of Skye, on the northwest coast
of Scotland, The island, which is compare.
lively bleak and barren, Is owned by few
great landholders, (the McDonalds and Nc
Leods) and rented in small tracts to class
of petty farmers known as crofters. Even
without rent to pay, the lot of the crofters
would be hard enough, but with the heavy
rent BURDEN laid upon them, they are most
ly kept at few removes above the starvsL
ton point. Last summer Henry George
visited the island and fired them with
his ideas Of land reform" or rather free
land, and since then they have had meet.
ings and virtually resolved to pay no more
rent. Like the Irish tenantry, they are
willing to pay small sum annually tow.
ards purchasing the land, but they will
have no more landlords. The British
government have sent war vessel and a
body of 300 police to the island to subdue
the crofters, but the latter have gathered
to the number of 1850 at Ulg, and when
the police arrive have decided TO demand
of them the object of their coming and if
the answer Is unsatisfactory they will be
conducted back to the vessel that brought
them.
Skye is the principal of the group of
islands on the west coast of Scotland known
as the Hebrides, the population of the en-
tire group being about 100000, and as the
situation Of all as to the land question Is
about the same, the probability is that in
the present uprising they will make com
mon cause. In that case, they would be
found exceedingly troublesome to subdue,
being hardy and pugnaciOus race, and
occupying country of unlimited resources
for defensive warfare.
