A Devoted Lovers Capture, Con-
demnatiOn and Punishment
With His Bride to Paris.
A few days ago face which still re-
tanned traces of great former beauty
was pointed out to me upon the avenue.
and the following story was told me of
its possessOr, says the Washington Capt.
tai: During the war her betrOthed lover,
while serving as an officer under the
banner of the Confederacy, learned in
cidentally of her serious illness in
Albany, n. Y. Nothing daunted by
the dangers which encompaSSed such
all undertaking, he obtained a leave of
absence, passed through the lines, and
after almost incredible escapes and
hardshipS, succeeded in reaching her
side in her Northern home. Upon her
recovery he attempted to retrace his
steps. but was seen and recognized in
New York city and arrested as SPY.
After due trial before a competent
tribunal he was found guilty and con-
demned to be shot. The lady in question
was a niece of Cardinal (then Arch
bishop Manning. and the whole
force of the Catholic clergy was
brought to bear upon Mr.. Lincoln,
In order to secure a communication of the
sentence. This was done in effect, for
the unfortunate man WIS permitted to
marry the woman of his choice, and
then both were banished to Paris, where
they lived under the surveillance of the
American minister until the close of
the war. Such, indeed, was the condi-
ton upon which his life was spared by
the president. The brave Confederate's
wife is now a widow, and her eldest
son, through the kindness of Mr.. Cleye-
land, to whom he is said to have told
his mothers story, in an accidental
meeting, which happened in the grounds
in the rear of the White house, is
cadet at West Point.

at some distant point, probably in the
heart of the great city.
In few minutes there is response
to the call by small boy in uniform
of blue and a cap bearing upon the front
the letters "a. ID. T. No. g." This
means that the boy is from the central
office OF the American District Tele-
graph company, and that he is prepared
to go any eTrand that the owner of the
instrument may desire.
Or perhaps the wearer of the uniform
may be in the employ of some telegraph
company. In such case lie has only

caller lie is compelled to take that much
time from the company that employs

HERE THEY GO


An experiment was tried recently by
the Baltimore & Ohio Telegraph COM
pany at Washington of furnishing She.-
land ponies for the messenger boys in
their employ, and the Office of the Su-
perlntendent was 0yerrun with appli-
cantS for positions, and the messenger
boys of that company were the envy of
all others.
Then, too, in cities where concrete
furnished by the Western Union Tele-
graph company for their messenger
boys, and the result has been great
saving Of time, although the wear and
tear of material has been increased.
While awaiting a call in the central
office, the boys amuSe themselves as
they see fit. Some endeayor to interest
themselves in telegraphy, read a book
of travel or adyenture--usually the lat
ter while those who have not the dis
position to utilize spare moments in
SurreputlouSly mapping when the super
lntendent is out of sight for little
while.
In this connection, an incident that
occurred to Senator Hawley, of Connect
icut, who has frequently been men
toned as vice presidential possibility,
will Illustrate the mischieyOuS prOpen-
sites OF messenger boys. Some of the
boys obtained pieces of gray material
from dry gOOdsssStore, made a small
bundle of it to resemble rat, and. with
piece of Irvine attached to it, would
throw the object out on the sidewalk.
Usually this was done after it was
dark, and the pedestrian going
along the street would suddenly be sur
prised to find what he thought was
rat darling across his path. This illusion
would be maintained by short jerks at
the string by the operator concealed be-
hind some friendly door. One night
Senator Hawley was walking down the
street in the vicinity of a telegraph
office and he detected, as he thought,
rat on the pavement. He made pass
at it with his cane but the sup
posed rodent scampered across the
sidewalk pursued by the senator
| until it sought refuge in convenient
basement. Here the object was cor
nered by the now thoroughly aroused
statesman, and he called to several
spectators that he had the rat sure. A
loud laugh from party of llrchins in
the telegraph Office showed the senator
that he was the victim of practical
joke, and he made his escape as hur-
| riedly as possible, accompanied by

A JAPANESE CLUB HOUSE.
Romantic Origin of 1.-The Maple
HnUSe,'=A ReYY of Realities

AAoOcS - A1SNy w ASSStrAthSos
The Maple house is one of the select
clubs of Japan, to which only the higher
classes are admitted. My influential
friend came into play again, and had
the pleasure of enjoying its entertain
ment, says Toxic correspondent of the
San Francisco Examiner. The history
of the club is founded upon the fact
that some years ago somebody carved a
piece of wood in some fantastic shape,
and placed it in beautiful lake near
by. Shortly afterwards it was noticed
that this carving had sprouted, and they
planted it on hill adjoining, where it
tlouriShed and formed a beautiful grove.
The autumn foliage of these maple trees
is a most beautiful sight, and quite diff
ferent from anything | have ever before
seen. In fact, this impresses you
about every tree you see in
Japan that you have seen in
other places. 1t improves in appear
ance and seems of prettier foliage.
Amid this grove stands the Maple
house, built and furnished in Japanese
style, and of large size. The doctor
ty girls in the tea-houseS, and said he
would show the Americana" some
beauties, and one who could talk
English. He then took me to his club,
and as we approached it asked
if we should sit on the porch or
GO inside. Having holy horror of 60
ing barefooted and having cold feet,
selected the porch, but changed nv
mind and went inside. In Japan, when
you wish to call for servant, you do so
by clapping hands three times, Which
brings them from all sides. 1t was very
evident that some time during his life
the doctor had been an old stager, as he
was most heartily welcomed by all.
They finally brought cushions for us to
sit 0n--fnely embroidered with maple
leaves. The tea service, walters.
glasses, all were decorated with
maple leaves. The cakes and can
dies were all in the shape of and repre-
Sented autumn leaves in all tints. Very
pretty and charming young ladies were
in attendance, with compilations as clear
as alabaster-not laid on by the bottle,
either-their beauty being only marred
by red-painted lips. They waited on us
very cutely, but yet the doctor was not
satisfied and kept sending for "Conny,"
who finally came. She spoke English in
the sweetest tones. We were served bv
the young ladies on their knees, and

HOW TO KISS A WOMAN.
A Boys Direction for Extracting
the Honey From Labial Flow


ers.
There is boy connected with this
Office who mixes the ink for the rollers
and does the useful generally, who
claims to be able to give points to any
body On the art of kissing, says the Bar
louisville Ky.) News. The follow
ing is the result of his mature
experience: Never kiss a young girl
If she doesn't want you to. The main
ingredient that makes kissing endura-
bic is a willingness on the part Of the
female. Ii it deepens into anxiety, so
much the better. When girl claws
mans hair and scratches his face like a
little fOol-drOp her at once. She is
destitute of good sense and natural affec-
ton, and the sooner you begin making
love to her sister the better.
AS long as girl don't claw and yell,
and struggle like panther, it's per-
fectly safe to continue prospecting. Get
little behind her, pass the right arm
around her waist in front, take the left
hand in your left, and if you don't know
what TO do next go and associate with
the boys in Pineville. If you are just
beginning to teach a shy girl, who has
only been kissed heretofore by
her brothers and father, touch
your lips gently to her fore
head. She will take this for
an exhibition of profound respect.
That position gained. working the way
down to the lips is as natural and as
easy as the course of log sliding down
the wood fiume of the Kentucky Lum-
Der company. Never sit down to kiss.
1t appears awkward in case anybody is
looking, and seems awkward anyhow.
Stand up, and the closer you press the
girl the higher estimate she will place
on your good taste, common sense and
experience. kissing married ladies is
separate branch Of the art, and
requires constant practice. Where ten
derneSS and little hesitation and bash
rulneSS, II well put on, go long way
with young girl, such nonsense is not
swallowed by married woman to any
considerable extent. Be warm, yig0r-
Gus and hearty, and, above all things,
be frequent. One of the prime requisites
on such an occasion is a quick ear for
the footsteps in the hall, and nice
calculation as to how long the husband
will take to reach the door after he has
passed the head of the stairs.
A house heavily carpeted with brus
sells requires eternal vigilance and
sometimes rare presence of mind. By
the time the wOrser half of the family
gets his hand on the door knob, you
must be seated in far corner of the
room, seriously perusing Talmage's
sermon On cOvetOuSneSS. A kiss can
sometimes be snatched when the hus-
band is in the room, but this requires an
expert and is risky. Our young man
once knew an instance. A married lady
asked her husband to wind the clock,
and young man in the room thought
he saw his golden opportunity and went
for it. If the clock hadn't had mirror
just before the face that young man
would have been all right: but for three
weeks after his Sunday school class had
a pickup teacher, and he had the ap-
pearance of having bucked against
cyclone. This is one of the ViciSsitudeS
OF kissing from mere impulse.

A Head in the Basket.

Carter Harrison in Chicago Mail
We visited the place of execution.
There was one head in a basket, cut off
some weeks before, and around were
many copper pots nearly three feet in
diameter filled with heads and cemented
down. The body is buried, but the
state holds on to the head. For 10 cents
the eXecutloner showed the sword
and solemnly went through the
motions of taking off a caput. He said
he had cut off good many hundreds,
but admitted he would have to strike
hard to sever my neck with single
blow; the Chinese neck was small and
he rarely had to strike twice. The
sword was about two feet long in blade
and not over two OF two and One-half
inches wide. By the way, these people
have very small necks. 1t is little
singular that the execution ground is
used for drying earthenware for the
kiln Where did this idea commence?
Pottcr's field is almost synonymous with
the burial place of the destitute.
