An Incident of the War.
The Romance of Heroine whose Grave
Should be Decorated.

In New Jersey town is the grave of Pa
thence Barnum. Patience Barnum was
Qua ker girl and a heroine, ard no grave is
more entitled to recognition in this season of
decoration. She gave her life for the Union.
No strength or charm can be added to the
simple tale OF her sacrifice. A young physi-
clan in Philadelphia was belrothed to Pa
thence Barnum when the war broke, and
their wedding day was fixed. He also was
Quaker, and was enthusiastically loyal,
and he was among the foremost to volunteer
his services in defence of the Union. Months
went by, and he was With his regiment in
the thickest of the most bitter fights. One
day news came north that skirmish had
left some of his company dead and others
wounded, and that he was among the miss
ing. When this dispatch reached the girl
who had been waiting to become his wife,
her whole life changed as in the twinkling
of an eye, and she suddenly developed into a
mature woman. The next news that came
convinced all the young soldiers friends
that he had been killed. But Patience did
not sit idly and hOpelessy down to wall
Before even her closest relatives wers aware
of it she had volunteered for the war; she
found her place in an ambulance corps, and
they who loved her at the north lost sight of
her wholly ere many weeks went by. She
was far South; she was in the van of the
very regiment with which her hero had
marched away. There came furious fight
one night and rebel town was captured
town with a prison pen-a Libby on a
small scale. When victory was no longer
problematical, hut assured to the Union
troops, blazing fagots were thrown upon the
roof of the crisp and seasoned old prison,
and the Union soldiers confined there seemed
doomed. But the rebels we're routed in time
and halt sutfocat by smoke, the prisoners
were finally brought out TO the open air, to
their brethren, and to sight of the old flag
once more. 10 the throng of emaciated be-
ings saved was that young Philadelphia
whom long ago Patience Barnum's heart
had given up as lost. Foremost among those
to meet him was Patience Bgrnum. How
she came to the front SO quickly not one of
these excited soldiers knew. But she was
there, and there was ecstasy in two bOsoms
In that moment, but only for moment.
Down from neghboring woods came the
bullet of some still defiant rebel. Its victim
was Patience Barnum. Many tear those
rough, storm-beaten soldiers shed as they
laid her to rest for little while in a south
ern grave; not one ot them that did not love
her. Still unwedded, the man she loved
lives to-day in Philadelphia, citizen known
for good deeds.

Senator Edmunds's Mission.

Senator Edmunds states that his trip to
England is for the purpose of testifying be-
fore the house of lords committee on privi-
leges touching certain points of American
law. The matter before the committee is q
civil suit affecting the title to the estate and
peerage of the Earl of Lauderdale, and the
vital point at issue is the validity of the mar.
riage of Sir Richard Maitland with Mary
McAdams, by DR.. Ogilvie. of Trinity church
in New York in 1872. The estate is claimed
on one hand by Maj. Frederick Henry Matt
land, of the Bengal cavalry, and political
agent for Central India, who is a direct de
seendant of Sir Richard Maitland, adiutant
general of the North American colonies from
1895 to 1772, and fourth son of the sixth
Earl Lauderdale. The other claimant is Sir
James Ramsay Maitland, descendant of the
fifth son of the sixth Earl. If the decision OF
the lords is that Mary McAdams was lawful
" married to Sir Richard Maitland. Sir
Frederick will become Earl of Lauderdale.
If otherwise, Sir James succeeds. 1t is in
regard to the laws and customs in force in
the colonies at that time that Senator Ed
munds will testify.

Victor Hugo's Daughter.
A Remarkable Romance in the Family of
the Great r.

The Halifax Herald publishes some de-
tails of the romantic career in Halifax OF
Adele, daughter of Victor Hugo, to whom
he leaves A, 100000 francs, half his fortune.
as reported by cable. The facts are fur
nished by Robert Motion, Q, c., well
known criminal lawyer, who acted for her
professionally on several occasions. Adele,
named after her mother, was her father
favorite child. The story, told by herself,
was as follows: When mere girl living
with her parents in Brussels, she became ac-
quainted with youth named Pinsen, be-
longing to a wealthy English family, then
staying in Brussels, and fell madly in love
with him. He appeared to be equally infat
uated with her. They became formally en-
gagged, and secretly married, as she believed
Owing to their youth and the opposition Of
the Pinsen family the affair was kept private
and he promised to marry her in due time
Meanwhile he was gaZetted lieutenant III
the British army aud ordered with his regi
ment, the famous Sixteenth, to Halifax
Just previous to this, he wrote to her L
meet him IN London, where they would b.
formally married. The great Frenehman re-
fused to let his daughter go, and said if Pin
sen wanted to marry her he must do so al
Brussels. But Adele insisted, and finally
her pa ents gave way, her mother accom-
panying her to London, bet before they
reached there Pinsen had left with his reg
ment for Halifax. They returned to Brus
sells, and shortly afterwards Adele clandes
timely left home, resolved TO follow the man
she SO madly loved. Arriving in New York
she made her way to Halifax and lived there
nearly three years. Pinsen proved recreant
but she seems to have logged him day and
night, and frequently declared to the family
with whom she boarded that he should never
marry another woman while she lived. She
was very eccentric, and never went out un-
less deeply yelled. At night she went out
alone in disguise, wearing high hat, to-
boots, and carving stick. All her letters
were addressed TO madame Pinsen," and
she received monthly remistances of $10(
from her father.
Eighteen years ago Lieut.. Pnsen left Hal
flax with his regiment for Barbados and
Adele Hugo followed him. After she went
away she wrote letters to some friend:
in Halifax which are still preserved. During
the time she was in Halifax one OF the
sons of Louis Philippe visited Halifax, arc
learning of Miss Hugo's presence in the city
visited her. Some years ago she became in
sane aud was placed ia a private asylum
either in New York or Boston.

A United States senator, talking recently
about the pension granted to daughter of
John Tyler, said, ''The Government already
pays pension to John Tyler's widow. She
has never given the daughter any benefit of
the pension. We seriously debated whether
we would not take away part of the widows
pension at the same time we gave one to the
daughter. 1t ought to have been done for a
lesson to humanity, but it might have looked
as if the country was small N its treatment
of the families of it's great men,"

A certain Republican of Owensbo-
70 was formerly wont to be more
than usually bitter in his hostility 10
the Democracy, and, for a man of
mild manners and general amiabili-
ty, could say some very harsh things
about the opposing party. 1t hap
pened, also that the same Republican
had been prosecuting a claim for a
pension for eight or ten years, and
the red tape of the government had
so bewildered and delayed him that
he had almost despaired of ever get
ting the recompense which he
claimed as an old soldier. When
the new Democratic Commissioner
of Pensions, Gen. Black, went into
Office, our friend thought he might
as well give up. lie was, therefore
dumbfounded on receiving, a few
days after Gen. Black had taken
charge, the pension which he had
been working in vain to secure from
Republican administration fol
eight years. He is now a silent man
on the subject of Democratic short.

Garrett Onderdonk was arrested in
New York Tuesday for selling artl-
fetal eggs, and fined $50, under an
act prohibiting the sale of adultera-
ted food. They were manufactured
by a firm in Newark.
The shells were made of a clear
transparent composition, and the
shape perfectly modelled. The por-
ton surrounding the yolk was made
of albumen, and the yolk itself Of
ground carrot and saffron. The
eggs were tested and found to scram'
Bile well, and in an omelette there
was no perceptible difference be
tween the real and artificial eggs, bu'
when boiled they were easily detected
as the yolk and surrounding Whit
portion did not harden separately al
in the real eggs.

Newspaper Advertising.

Rightly considered, there is no de-
partment of newspaper which will
better bear inspection and which is
more fruitful of suggestion than its
advertising columns. If one wished
to form a conception ola town he had
never visited, of its business, its
wealth, its stability, he would be
greatly aided by close survey of the
advertisements in q local paper. These
tell the story of the trades and indus
tries of the place, the character of the
goods offered, and indicate in meas
ure the taste of the inhabitants. A
small community with crude wants
exhibits itself in the advertising
pages of a paper, and the varied me-
cessities of luxuries incident 10 a city
are also wildly reflected in these
pages. They are daily records of the
elaborate civilization of the times. A
newspaper of the revolutionary era
in this country when editorials play
ed a very subordinate part is chiefly
eloquent in Its advertisements, and
through them one can transport him
self to the days of Otis, Franklin, Jay
and Washington. In this time of
competition, when commerce, trade
manufactures and the mechanical arts
constantly enlist the energies and
claim the attention of our citizens, it
is absolutely essential TO read the adj
vertisements to be rapport with the
real life of the times, and to avail
ones self of the best information rel
alive to these current purchases which
make up the staple OF personal and
domestic economy. The proximity
of the holiday season has caused a
general assault by the merchants on
the space of The Commercial, but it
is space well devoted both for those
who absorb it and those who consult
it for knowledge. just now it is de-
cidedly good sense to make the adver-
tisements a special study and profit
by their acknowledgements.

A Confidential Talk.

The demands upon our advertising
columns haye made an enlargement
necessary, and the SOUTH KENTUcK-
IAN appears to-day as an eight-col-
umn paper. This step is not taken
with any "Aourish of trumpets," now
do we deem it proper to make any
boastful announcement of the Won
derful prosperity of our semi-wcckly.
We have worked untiringly for over
two years to make it a success and it
might have been enlarged long ago
but for the fact that we have not re-
ceived the support of all our business
men. Some have been very sparing
with their patronage and others have
declined altogether to encourage us
by their support and influence. To
those who have so generously
assisted us by using our columns, we
are doubly grateful, now that ourven-
ture is no longer an experiment but
an established success, which has be-
come such upon its own merits and
by constant and persistent effort.
The SOUTH KENTUoKIAN has resun-
cd the form of its first issue, when it
appeared as a weekly. The subscrip-
ton price is also the same and the pa
per at $500 per annum is the cheap
est newspaper in Kentucky. During
the coming year it will be better than
ever before, both as an advertising
medium and dissemination Of fresh,
reliable and impartial news. In re-
cording matters of public interest II
is fearless and outspoken, alike disre-
gardtul of friend and foe. No one
need expect TO have news matter
suppressed, as we regard our duty as
ajournalist paramount to any feel
ings of personal friendship. We are
aware that we are liable to incur the
r displeasure of some by such course
but on the other hand we hope &c
gain friends and patrons by giving
the news impartially. We have nc
political aspirations and no axes to-
grind, and can afford to be all unbi-
ased, faithful servant of the reading
public.
We shall maintain a number oil
special features as heretofore, promi.
ncnt among which will be a tobacco
department. Special attention will
be given TO the preparation of this
news and the column will be of great
value to the farmers. Our terms
will be strictly cash as heretofore, as
experience has taught us that the
cash system is the only plan upoi
which newspaper can be success
fully conducted. We take this occa
sion to thank our friends for past ia
vors and to assure them that we will
be thankful for a continuance Q
their patronage. And we ask tbos
who have not patronized us in til
past to lend us helping hand in tn
future. We are here to stay and W
depend upon our newspaper bust
ness for livelihood, and we hope t
receive the support of every citize
who is willing to promote the intel
ests of our city and county by sus
tanning progressive press. w
can and will give you value receive
for every dime you may invest i
advertising in or subscribing to tn
South Kentuckian.
