Matthew Lyon.

Mr.. w. f. Robinson, in letter to the New
York sun, recalls the following facts in the
history of Matthew Lyon, whose name is
Il prominent one in the early annals of
Vermont:
elm l746 male child was born in the
county of Wicklow, in Ireland, who at the
age of ID managed to reach this country,
where he had to sell himself to service to
pay for his transportation. He served in
the first war against England, settled in
Vermont, founded the town of Fairhaven
in that State, where he built mills and
foundrieS, manufactured paper from bass
wood and established a newspaper. He
became n member of the legislature, a
Judge, and representative in congress
from Vermont. He established the first
printing press in Kentucky, transporting
the type on horseback across the noun
tains, and became u member of the legiS-
lature and representative in congress
from that State for eight years. He
built gunboats for the second war
against England and sunk his fortune
in that particular undertaking, and was
atterward elected the first delegate to
Congress from Arkansas. He was the
most o9hspicuous victim of the alien and
sedition law, for the abolition of which
he rendered such conspicuous service. 1t
was while i'll prison at Nergennes under
this law that he was elected to Congress,
and it was to this Irish lad-Matthew
Lyon-from Wicklow that the election of
Jefferson was justly due, as it was by his
vote that the vote of the State of Vermont
was given to this illustrious signer of the
declaration"
To the above brief sketch many inter
estng facts might be added. Lyon was

The first steamboat successfully pro-

Fulton, and was launched from the ship
yard of Charles Brown, Fast River, New

were constructed at the works of Boulton

August she was coppleted aud was moved
by her machinery from the ship yard to the
Jersey shore. This vessel was called the
Clermont, and was 100 feet long, twelve
feet wide and seven feet deep. The cylin-

Arsenic in the Tea They Drank.

At Kingston, N. Y, the other day
Henry Mellert, seventeen years old,
sent his young brother to the drug store
for arsenic q few days ago, with a note
to which he forged his mothers sigma
ture. In drinking tea at supper his
mother and brothers were taken violent

said there were symptoms Of arsenical
poisoning. The victims are now said
to be out of danger. The mother ac-
cused Henry, but he denied putting any
poison in the tea. Mrs. Mellert is a
widow, about forty-tive years old, and
has three children. Henry, the Oldest,

To Prevent Smallpox.

Word has been received here bring
ing the information that the Lieu
tenant Governor Of Manitoba, through
Acton Burrows, deputy minister, has
issued proclamation requiring the
vaccination of all persons entering the
province.
This order is to be strictly enforced
against those who enter the province
over the Manitoba railroad. 1t will,
therefore, be well for all those who
may not have vaccinated within a rea-
sonable time, to have vaccination per-
formed before starting on their ourney,
SO as to render their vaccination at the
boundary of the province unnecessary.
Health Officer Quinby, in speaking Of
vaccination, said: ''Of all the lumber
men whom requested to take active
steps looking toward the prevention
from the smallpox scourge in the woods,
by requiring all those hiring for up
river to present certificates of vaccin-
alton to the foreman, only one firm,
Just one, so far as can learn, has acted
upon the advise. That is the John
Martin Lumber Company.

Watching the French Bathers.
Q aland's Enreipn T attAr |

The most entertaining part of Frascati
life is watching the bathers French men
AMI women do everything for show. They
are an exhi bition or rehearsal unto them
selves when there are no other spectators,
but they are never of the boards by no
uvuns eundvnrnH rhis snyr more tnan en-
tirely praise an utter disregard of what
people think. Either carried out to perfec-
tion would make us behave ourselves. How
ever, people who live like potatoes, entirely
by one another's eyes, can not fail to make
the most of beach bathing. One can dress
dramatically for it, and they do dresser
undress-vith vengeance. There are
women, not few, who change their bath
ing costumes twice day and exhaust il B.
nuity in devising toilets de mer.
The French who battle all swim because
it looks well. 1t is amusing to see the men
wrapped in haiks with bournus, or some
other mantle, going down Smoking, OF
course) to the beach, and then being d.
vested OF their wraps as il they were the
most delicate kind of $50, 900 horses about

bly, awaits them in their bath house. When

attendant
1t is worth noting that though multi
tudes in France battle before the world in
stylish dresses, one very seldom sees men on
the beaches taking baths for nothing at any
early hour or in retired places. II one is at
an English bathing town and will go down
to the shore before s o'clock he may sec
scores of poor young men and boys taking
their swims and enjoying them with all
their hearts. The reason, as said before,
lies in this: that Frenchman washes to
look clean and the Englishman to be clean

Grades Of New York Society Men.
New York Letter.

new YORK LETTER.
New York society men," of what may be
called the second or third grade, are often
very amusing characters. Roughly out
lined, the first grade of society men may be
described as those who have no other occu-
s1si Iig
particular seJ in which they move They
are of course, wealthy, unquestionably, OF
good family, and neither themselves nor,
in most cases, their fathers have ever been
in any useful trade business, or any sort Of
a profession.
The o are very mighty creatures indeed,
an there are only score Of them, but they
are the envy of tho whole society" world.
They live in New York from Dec. | until
the 1st OF April. Then they go to England
or the l. nion season, returning on the 1st
OF August for tho Newport season, after
which they go to Lsnox until Oct. ], on
which date they resort to their country
houses, returning to New York again on the
1st of December This programme is car
ried out year after year.
The second grade Of society men are
younger sons, bachelors Of all ages, and a
general run Of we'll bred, we'll behaved. and
good looking young fellows, who divide
their time between New York and Newport
are fond Of dancing, and go pretty muck.
every where. The NEXT grade below this is
composed Of young men who usually work
for living, though there are occasional
drones who never go into "the best society"
at all, and are admitted to general houses
because they are willing to dance-which
the very great swell seldom or never is
and serve to give life to an Entertainment.
