ON the evening OF the 23d Of August,
1870, az Ligny ! was with the Crown
Prince alone, lie lay, fatigued, on his
narrow feld-bed, which he had put up
whenever we were quartered. Before
him on the little writing table stood the
photographs Of the Crown Princess and
his children, 80 that his eye could rest
upon them. He spoke al once Of his
dear ones at home, OF the characters OF
his children, how each one Of them was
developing, Of his sorrows for those that
we're lost. His eyes moistened, and his
face was transhgured by love and grief.
His manner was 80 warm and pleasing
that il softened the listener, too
Then he began TO speak Of his consort
In terms full OF tender devotion. He
extoled the wealth Of her knowledge
and mental capacity, to which, he said,
he had always TO look up, and he la
mented that such woman was not ap-
preciated everywhere. One felt how
happy it made him 10 speak Of her OF
whom he was constantly thinking.
Every act Of homage, even the smallest
done 10 the woman he worshiped was tc
him matter Of Importance, for his
devotion and subordination to his
loved wife were absolute This
love was the highest and holies
thing in his life, and filled the whole
soul. She was the mistress Of his youth

counselor whenever she was disposed Il

easy. She had come 10 him from ami'
greater circumstances; had, with ricl
natural gifts, as her fathers favorit'
child, drawn her intellectual equipmen
from far wider sphere Of educativ
material. Through happy years she hai
labored with much zeal, and with grea
patience, TO cultivate in the soul Of he
husband the interests she had at heart
and he felt in his pure and simple breas
that what gained vitality in him wa
her work. He felt as if he had frs
learned to see, to feel, to recognize th
true, 70 enjoy the beautiful, througl

a PERJuRER's VICTIM.

Twenty Years Spent In an Indiana Prison
on Conviction of Murder Procured by
False Testlmony-Was II Perjury or
Mistaken Identity?
LA PORTE, Ind, Dec. 1s.-Cieorge
Stottler is life convict in the Michigan
City penitentiary. He has done penal
servitude for the State since 1868
Stottlers friends have been tireless in
their efforts to secure his release and IL
begins to look now as though Stottler
was convicted on periured testimony
and that the State viii be obliged to re-
lease from its service an innocent man.
The crime for which Stottler was sent
up was terrible one. He was coun-
tryman near Anderson and was always
looked upon as tough character.
The crime was committed in 1868.
Stottler, it is alleged, tried to borrow
horse from an old man named Isanoget.
1t was refused him. He then went to
Anderson, bought knife and got drunk.
Returning in the evening he went TO the
Isanoget residence and started row in
the house. Isanoget had two sons,
whose ages were twenty and sixteen
years respectively. The older OF the
boys started TO put Stottler out Of the
house, but the young man was stabbed
through the heart. Tho younger boy
attempted to prevent Stottler from kill
ing his brother and started to interfere
in his behalf Young Isanoget had no
sooner got within reach of the infuriat-
ed and bloodthirsty fend than he
too received a stab through the heart
which killed him instantly. Stot-
tier then threatened to kill the
whole family, which consisted Of the old
man Isanoget, his wife and two or three
small children The old man, who was
an invalid, saw that IL was a question oi
life or death for all Of them, and by a
desperate effort overpowered the fiend
and disarmed him. He was sentenced
for life.
Stottler has protested his innocence
from the time he was arrested on tn,
terrible charge, claiming that he was Z
victim Of mistaken identity. 1t appear
that the testimony Of the Isanoget CIR
was what convicted Stottler. The CIR
died last spring, and now comes the at
torneys for Stottler, who claim that the,
have her affidavit stating that the testi
mony she gave during the trial wa
false.

ST. LOUIS, Dec 1s.-Emil Guenther,
who killed his father, George Guenther,

pacing up and down his cell, vacant

on his face.
Il do not think he is quite right in
his mind; he often acted queer, said
Charles Guenther. "My father treated

he was crazy. One Of his lightest pun

A Milwaukee Man Who Forgot Where
Ills wife Had Moved To.

Milwaukee Man Who Forgot Whore
Ills wife Had Moved To.
A West-side attorney, noted for his
Observation-Disclosures as well as for his
business shrewdness, Is in the habit Of
leaving the management OF his house
entirely to his wife, in whose ability he
has the utmost confidence. He furnishes
her the wherewithal to run things and
never inquiries or cares about what she
does so long as his comfort is provided
for. One evening, not long ago, he was
standing on the corner Of Grand avenue
and West Water street, looking discon-
solate and greatly troubled.
'Hello, Blank said an acquaintance,
"what is the matter?"
"Dash it," he responded, "I'm in a
deuced bad box, and don't know what
10 do. My wife moved to-day She told
me this morning she was going TO move,
and where she was going to move to,
but I'll be blowed il remember where
it was. think it was somewhere in the
Thirteenth ward. Where do you think
my wife would be apt TO move to?"
The friend could not help him, and
how and where he found his domicile
history sayeth not.
Observation-Disclosures is not confined to
lawyers however. A young man who
owns horse, Of which he is very fond,
and who is also fond of giving the
young ladies rides behind his stopper,
has habit Of talking 70 his horse, ad-
dressing her with various pet names.
Not long since he took young lady, a
teacher, riding, and the conversation
turned upon her work. She was telling
him Of trouble she was having and
how she dreaded to meet IL, when, in a
soft and smoothing tone, he interrupted
her with: 'sNever mind, Pet; never
mind. It viii be all rightif you brace
right up TO it." And it was only after
a very painful pause in the converse
tion and an awkward explanation thai
she learned the remark had been meant
for the horse, which had been afraid o
something ahsad.-Milwaukee Yiscon
