POe's Memory Defended.

"The fact is" said DR.. Morgan. "for
four years preceding his death Poe was
a temperate, clear-headed man. If he
had lived life of spotless virtue he
would have died at the time and place
he did. Drink and dissipation had moth
ing to do with him in his last hours. l
will tell you the story briefly:
"Poe was engaged to be married to
Mrs. Maria GLENN, of Richmond, Va.
Just before the day set for the wedding
he came to Baltimore, on his way to
Philadelphia and New York, where he
wished to settle bis affairs with pub
fishers for whom he wrote. He left his
trunks at a hotel in Baltimore and
started on the train for Philadelphia.
Finding that the Susquehanna river was
rough he declined to cross it in boat,
and returned to Baltimore on the same
train. The conductor of the train told
me afterward that he saw two well
dressed men whom he knew to be black
legs watching the poet in the car. When
Poe got off the train he walked toward
the docks, followed by these two men.
He was then dressed in a fine suit of
black. A few hours later he was found
lying on plank upon some barrels at
the Light street docks. within thirty feet
of terrible den of iniquity. He was
insensible and had on an ill-fitting garb
of stained bombazine clothing, an old
straw hat, ragged shirt and pair of
travel worn, wretched shoes. His lady
love told me that she saw him the day
before and that he was elegantly attired.
Poe was undoubtedly drugged and rob-
bed by the two men who dogged his
feotsteps. When he was brought to the
hospital and placed in my cOarge there
was not the slightest sign or smell of
strong drink around him. He was il
nv charge for sixteen hours and then
he died During all that time l watched
him narrowly and he did not display the
slightest symptom of drunkard. The
moment he became sensible he said to
me: Doctor, no conscious act of mine
has brought this great distress upon me-"
STRANGE UTTERANCEs.
"There was clerk in the hospital
who had read some of Poe's poems. and
he accompanied me on every visit to the
deathbed. Afterward he told me that

A LETTER written by Mrs. F. G. De
Fontaiue, of New York, to New Or
leans newspaper indicates either that
the originals of the provisional Censtitu-
tion and the permanent Constitution of
the Southern Confederacy are not held
in great yeneration by the Southern
people or, that the custodian of those
papers, Mrs. De Fontaine, asked too
much for them 1t appears that after
the fall of Richmond she carried them
with her until eighteen months ago,
when she decided to sell them. To the
Governors of the Southern and Western
States, she wrote personal letterss offer
ing the Constitutions to the States. But
no one wanted to buy them. At last the
custodian of the Constitutions came to
the conclusion, she says, that patriotism
was really a thing of the past" and
turned to rich collectors of bric-a-brac.
A gentleman of Atlanta who had just
paid $4,000 for set of China excited
her contempt by offering "the muniicent
sum of ST. 900" for both of the Constitur
tons. At last Mrs. De Fountaine found
purchaseEfpr the permanent Constitu-
tion in Mrs. w. J. De Renne, of Savan-
nah, who has given the document to the
Georgia State Library. Mrs. De Foun-
taine does not explain how she became
the custodian of the two Constitutions
and gained title to them.

DURING the last Presidential campaign
the Democrats imported McSweeney, an
Irish suspect, who claimed to be an
American citizen, to make speeches abu-
sive of Mr.. Blaine. This Irish importa
ton was paraded all over the country
and made speeches which the Democrats
regarded as valuable to their cause. Me-
Sweeney now demands the collectorship
of San Francisco, in which city he for4
merly lived. as his reward. Leading
Democrats oppose giving him the ap-
pointment and the President does not
know what to do with him. as McSwee-
ney refuses to be thrown overheard. In
reality this man is not a naturaliZed cit
izen. He removed from San Francisco
to Ireland, taking his family and prop+
erty with him, intending to make that
country his future home. He accepted
office pnder the British Government and
thereby forfeited his rights as citizen
of the United States.

POSTMASTER GENERAL Villas has is+
sued confidential circular to Demo>
cratic congressman. which is intended
to appease the hunger of the fierce De-
mocracy. The P. Nj. G. thinks that from
fifteen to twenty-five per cent. of the
fourth4class postmasters in Ohio might
be removed within the next two months
and good accomplished. He wants the
most obnoxious picked out, and says:
81 will require no more proof of parti-
saRship in these selections than the aft
tirmation of knowledge on the part of a
Representative or Senator that the Post
master has been an active editer or pro-
prietor of Republican newspaper,
printing offensive articles, easily shown
by slips: or stump speaker, or member
of political committee, or officer of a
campaign club, or organizer of political
meetings, or that his Office has been
made the headquarters of political work,
or that his clerks have been put into the
performance of political duties. POSsi+
bly, other acts of equal force may be no .
ted in some cases If the Representa-
tive does not know the fact, it should
be established by affidavit of some per-
son whom he can affirm to be of unques-
tionable credibility, or by some docu-
mentary evidence"

that they had taken part in Republican

JOHN SLIDELL's successor has present

the man who, in Baltimore, denounced
the Massachusetts soldiers on the way
to Washington City, April 10, 1861, at
the call of President Lincoln, to defend
the National authority, for "polluting

standing in Monument Square under a

Queen of the Kitchen.

Ability to be perfect hOusekeeper is
not conferred on every woman, but it is
possible to be good one without sacrii
ticing all other interests in life.
One of the most delicious sauces fol
fish, Bechamel sauce, is probably not
nearly so we'll known as it would be but
for its French name; yet it is simple
and exceedingly useful.
Cooking is a science, and for this rea-
son girls are often more successful than
their elders in culinary experiments, be-
cause they comply strictly With direc-
tions instead of guessing what quantiT
ties of ingredients to use in order to
produce desired results.
Naturally Americans would prefer to
see all titles written in the English Ian
guage, but the fact that French name
has been applied for convenience should
not deter people from reading a receipt
and ascertaining the nature of the dish
to be made by following it.
Most of the formidable titles with
which one meets have been given to
commemorate the inventors of the
dishes or some popular place. An exam
pie is "Fillet uf beef Il IA Chateaubriand,
which stands for tenderloiu steak, served
with a rich, brown ssuce-an excellent
dish.
OF course, the kitchen is not the only
place in which burdens are Lorne. yet
the care of the table generally makes
itself ielt more than anything else; ard
no matter how we'll conducted all the
other departments may be, if this one be
neglected, discomfort and unhappiness
will ensue.

+ JUDGE STEWART, of Baltimore, in his
charge to the grand jury, speaking of
gambling, said: THE vice seems to be
one inherent in our nature and it will
probably continue until the people are
educated up to the point that raffles at
fairs will be considered an evil to be
frowned upon and chances in holiday
presents as thing to be avoided The
grosser forms of this vice are liable to
punishment and when the business of
gaming is carried OF in violation of law,
the duty to society requires that the Of
Tense should not be lightly passed over,
but should be prosecuted" This is the
first instance in that city in which the
grand jury has been charged upon this
subject, which more particularly affects
the raffles at church fairs

plain truths in regard to the present adj

IT really seems as though ne prohibit
ory Legislation can be enacted that will
hold good in the courts. Kansas furnish
es case in point. A late law compels
County Prosecutors, when notified of
violation of the prohibitory statute, to
institute a court Of inquiry, administer
oaths, and punish witnesses for any con-
tempt or disobedience to subp9nas or
refusal to be sworn and answer ques+
tions. The attorney for Leaven WI ortb
undertook to execute this law, and com.
mitted witness to Jail for contempt.
The case was taken before Judge Cresier

the law unconstitutional because it
