PERSONAL AND PECULIAR.

Ludwig Vonhinkelsteinhause of
Cincinnati has the longest name in the
United States.
1t is nearly 300 years since CHRIsropHER
MARLowE was killed in a tavern brawl in
Loudon at the early age of 80 years, and at
this late day funds have been raised in
England to build monument in his memory.
There is little green mound and humble
marble slab in a secluded corner of Otter
bein Cemetary, about twelves miles north of
Columbus, o., which marks the grave of the
auther of that famous ballad, Darling
Nellie Gray" A visitor to the spot learns
from the inscription on the stone that it / S
the last resting place of Benjamin Russell
Handy. The seclusi0n of the tomb, the
neglect shown it by all save few relatives,
and the general Ignorance of its location
form another Illustration of the forgetful-
ness of the human race.
A colony of crotch-tailed swallows built a
row of mud huts this spring under the caves
Of new barn on the farm of Henry
Ostrander, in Coolbaugh township. Pa. The
barn was not flashed until after the swal-
lows had gone south last fall, and when the
birds came back this spring they alighted on
the new roof and acted in a strange way for
two days. There was row of old nests on
the south side Of the barn that has been
standing for forty years, bat the swallows,
instead OF beginning to patch them up, as
they have done every spring since Farmer
Ostrander can remember, kept away from
the old barn entirely. He noticed this, and
he paid close attention to the movements of
the birds from that time on There was
nothing the matter with the old nests, as far
as he could see, and Why the swallows didn't
go to work and get things ready for house
keeping he couldn't understand. For two
days the birds seemed to be holding con-
vention on the roof of the big new barn, and
the way they chirped and twittered and flew
about led the farmer to conclude that they
were discussing knotty question. All this
time they avoided the old row of nests, but
on the morning of the third day after their
arrival the chickering's ceased altogether. and
every. swallow flew in and began to carry
mud from puddle down the road to the
caves on the south side of the new barn.
They worked like beavers for fortnight,
Farmer Ostrander said, and when they
stopped they had brand new lot of nests.
That was three weeks ago, and not a
swallow had gone near the old nests up to
| the present time. Why they deserted the old
| bone still puzzles the jolly farmer.

The utter destitution of the survivors of
the Conemaugh flood is less pitiable only
than the fate of the perished. A great fire
generally leaves to the distressed considera-
Die comfort in the form Of insurance. But
the men and women whose homes were torn
away in the torrent at Johnstown have moth
ing left to relieve their destitution, so far as
their possessions in the afflicted valley 90.
Those who have property in other places are
of course a small portion of the whole num-
Der afflicted. Not only are the possessions
OF the people gone, but their means of get
ting living. The Cambria Iron Works.
a concern so large that the burning of part
of 1t, with the prospect of immediate rebuild
ing, would have been great calamity TO
the laboring people,-has been so utterly
swept away that they probably will never be
rebuilt there. So have all the smaller man
ufactories. A large part of the people
whose bcmes were once in the prosperous
valley will be forced to go forth and begin
life anew in new places. Most of them will
90 bereft of their nearest and dearest friends
and relatives, with the memory of their past
lives shrouded in the oppressive cloud of the
great horror. The most that their country
men can do for them will be little enough,
and the quickest way of doing it will be
slower than the demand.

1t will be remembered that there was no
election for Governor by the people in New
Hampshire, and therefore the choice will
deyolve upon the legislature, which meets
today. Mr.. Goodell is the Republican candi-
date and Mr.. Amsden the Democratic, and
as there is a considerable Republican ma
jority in the Legislature Mr.. Goodell's eec-
tion would seem to be a foregone conclusion.
But Mr.. Goodell is strong prohlbitionist,
and has announced that If the legislature
should pass a high license bill he would veto
it. This is being used against him by the
Democrats, who are trying to prevail upon
Republican members of the legislature who
would like TO see high license experiment
to vote for Mr.. Amsden. They profess to have
some hopes of influencing enough to elect
their candidate. Undoubtedly, however,
they are over sanguine. Party lines are
drawn too tightly In New Hampshire to ad-
init of any such performance as that.

The selectionsof Carlos French as the sue
cessor Of the late William H. Barnum on the
National Democratic committee is a notable
triumph for the free trade wing of the party.
Mr.. French was warm supporter of the
Mills bill. Mr.. Barnum belonged to the pro-
lection wing of the Democracy, SO that the
selection of French is positive gain for the
free traders. and strengthens their already
pretty firm grip on the party.

If IfHippolyte, the Haytian chieftain, has
declined. in the hour of his triumph. to seize
the supreme power for himself. and has an
nounced that new President for whom all
factions can unite is to be elected at once,
he is a patriot as sturdy as he is black.
Legitime is reported to be fugi
tive; and the island is at the mercy of Hip,
polyte. The temptation under such circum-
stances to make oneself supreme, must be
strong enough to unbalauce the mind ev en-
OF sensible Caucasian.

Massachusetts has law, as has Maine,
forbidding anyone to give or sell cigarettes
to young boys. Nevertheless, the Massachu-
setts boys, like the Maine boys, find it easy
enough to get the cigarettes. The Spring
field Union says that in that city two or
three small boys club together, raise enough
money for bunch of cigarettes, and send a
big boy to purchase them. The result is
that the law amounts to nothing. as might
have been expected. If cigarette smoking is
to be stopped by law the only way is to make
the boy who smokes liable to punish
ment by law. But it is NOT the business of
the State to bring up small boys. That
duty belongs to the parents. A slipper is
the proper remedy for the small boy who in
sists on poisoning himself with cigarettes

fer OF "a reward OF 500 for the apprehcn-
sion of Gallagher, the prize fighter. Mr..
McTwecny was seen by q STANDARD re-

this action. AT noon today" said Mr..
McTweeny, IL went to q certain promin-
ent citizen OF this locality and taxed him
with knowing where Gallagher was hid
ing. ] had heard several rumors TO this
effect, and went to the man about IL. He
admitted to mo tnat Gallagher was hiding
in his house. He said that he will give
himself up whenever he In wanted. but
that he could receive better
where he is than i'm the Jail.
He told me that Gallagher In seriously in
jured. He seems to have internal injuries
through he punmelling ON his breast.
IL In feared that one OF his lungs - Sc
riously injured. There seems to he no
other injuries except bruises on his face.
The man promised me he would be re-
sponsible himself for the delivery of Gal
laRher at the proper time. Accordingly I

pay il tn this man who will turn IL over to
G~ailagher's family. l promised not to tell
the mans name."
where Gallagher In hiding a reporter has
ascertained that he il stopping i'm n saloon
and lodging house i'm South Butte. For
two days after the fight he WAS i'm hiding
i'm the cellar of his own house. Tuesday
he was removed to the house of this
friend in South Butte. He has been under
medical care since this.
The story that his arms has been ampu-
tated is not credited and was undoubtedly
circulated to arouse sympathy for him.
Mrs. Gallagher herself says that her hus-
bands arm is not even broken. She says
il was wrenched and sprained at the
wrist, but there has been no need of ann
putation. Mrs. Gallagher was greatly
pleased at hearing that the warrant for
her husband was not for murder and that
he would he released on 5000 bonds. It
il said that one reason why Gallagher's
friends took the action they did i'm agree
ing to give him up il that several parties
had discovered his hiding place and were
about to claim the reward. II was thought
better that Gallagher should he given up
by ~ friend who would deliver the money
to Mrs. Gallagher. The family will need
IL probably before the winter Ia over. Gal
lagher himself, il il said, agreed to this
plan OF surrenderinR himself.
