The Story of Floyd IresOn.

We have all read Whittier's story of Skip
per Ireson, who is represented as deserving
ship-wrecked crew, and being tarred and
feathered and then driven through the streets
of Marblehead for his inhumanity. The facts
are, that as Ireson's schooner, the Betty, was
on her way home from the fishing banks In
storm, she passed the schooner Active Oh
Cape Cod in a sinking condition. 1reson
called his crew together and consulted with
them as to what should be done They all
declared that it was madness to risk their own
lives in an attempt to rescue the crew OF the
Active Ireson then wanted them to lie by
the wreck for the night, and then try to save
them, but the crew demurred, and compelled
him to make all sail for home. When they
reached Marblehead. fearing the indignation
of their brave neighbors, they agreed TO place
all the blame upon the skipper. and the story
was believed.
Ireson, however, after he had been tarred
and feathered and ridden through the town
and back again, said to the men and boys.
You will live to regret all this" and they
did-for the true story came out later. and il
is pity the poet Whittier did not know what
the true story was ere his graceful pen put in
shape the wicked lie as it was told by the
cowardly crew of the Betty Rev. g. q

After Twenty Years.

CHARLTON, Iowa, July l5.-An arrest for
a murder committed nearly 20 years ago at
Mount AYR, this State. has just Veen made in
Kansas. The arrest came about through a
young lady answering an advertisement for a
correspondent. The advertiser was young
gentleman in a small village in Kansas. The
correspondence proved to be very pleasant,
and in time rather confidential. In one of
her letters Miss Stiner. the young lady. told
how her father had been murdered some 20
years before. In reply the young man said
he had heard an uncle named Houffman speak
Of the murder of man by that name who at
one time lived in Missouri. Stiner lad orig
inallv come from Missouri and had been muir
dered by two men named Ailiff and liouffman,
to whom ne owed bill of some $50. She
repeated the substance of the letter to a rela-
tive, who at once employed detective to
look the matter up with the result stated.
Soon after the murder the two men were in
dicted and reward of $500 was offered for
their apprehension. In a short time the
Sheriff of the county received letter from
the Marshal at ST. Joe, Mo, telling him to
bring the $500 reward and get one of the
prisoners. Before he could leave another
letter was received saving the prisoner had
died suddenly. From that day to this no
further trace of the men had been found, and
the matter was forgotten by all save the re-
latiyes

1t is scarcely to be believed that after
all the experience of England in Egypt
the Conservative Government desires to
establish definite and single protector
ate over that country. Nevertheless the
announcement is made. The only nation
al interest which England can be said to
have in Egypt is the protection of the
Suez Canal. and the interest of France in
this object is at least equally strong. The
really efficient cause for such English in
PREVENTION in the affairs of Egypt as there
has been is the protection of the English
holders of Egyptian securities. This is
not properly national object at all, and
the precedent set in Egypt may prove to
be very mischievous elsewhere. The
British holder of Egyptian securities
bought them at his own risk because he
thought they were cheap. and the Cover :
ment has no more reason to relieve him
from the consequences of this than of any
other improvident investment.

King Alfonzo has run the blockade OF

lead. The King was not easily dissuaded
but when the ministers threatened to re.
sign he submitted. As the mortality in.
creased he became restless. At last he
could not remain in the palace when his
subjects were dying in the cities without
word of sympathy from him. He started
out with one attendant by an early train
for Arauiuez without informing the Cab

aware of his absence he had spent dav
in the hospital wards aud in houses where
people were striken with the disease All

She wore kerchief round her head
Her papered csrls TO hide.
The founces on her skirts were torn,
Her slippers were united,
Her jacket wanted buttons, and
Twas not exactly clean,
And through her WORKOUT sleeves quite plain
Her elbows could be seen.
When she received him
Upon her brow her fluffy hair
Like tangled sunshine lay,
Her pretty Mother Hubbard gown
Was rich in ribbons gay,
Her little sh oes We're decked with bows,
Some meadow flowers clupg
Near her fair throat, and from her side
A small scent bottle hung.

To make morning call.

1t looks as it. the English
strikers in Cleveland were using their fell
lows of foreign birth to pull the chestnuts
out of the fire. Poles and Bohemians
principally composed the party which at
tackled the plate mill Wednesday,
and 1t is noted that at all the incendiary
meetings the speeches in English are
pretty peaceable while the appeals in a
foreign tongue are ugly in the extreme.
II is likely, however. that the result of
the fight with the police Wednesday will
make the Poles and Bohemians more eau
tious about creating a disturbance again.
