blockade runner about to leave Charleston
in the hope that sea voyage might save
his life, and his wife accompanied him.
The vessel in leaving port was sighted, pur-
sued and fired on by United States cruiser.
The excitement of the experience was prob
ably too great for the Vicomte in his en-
feebled condition, for he died during the
chase. But he was in reality diving man
when he was put on board the ship.
The widow of Darius Holbrook died In
New York City in 1876. At the time OF
Holbrook's death, in 1858, his estate was
valued at fully 81, 100000 but it consisted
largely of property in Cairo, Illinois and
throughout the Southwest, which greatly
deprecated in value after the war. The
estate had been bequeathed by Mr.. Hol-
brook to his widow and daughters, and
before the death of Mrs. Holbrook she and
the latter united in placing the remnants,
which embraced some valuable real estate,
in trust for the benefit of the two Chanler
children, a son named Holbrook, now dead.
and Florence, the present Mrs. Maybrick.
This trust was attached in 1879 bya Trieste
banker named Rosenthal, who had lent
money to Baron Won Roques on notes in
dorsed by his wife, and the Baroness went to
New York with her son and daughter to de-
fend it. The suit terminated in 1880 with
the defeat of the banker, and the Baroness
and ber daughter, who was then about 10
years old, at once returned to Europe. On
the voyage they made the acquaintance OF
James aybrick, who had been for num-
bel of years-in the cotton business in Nor
folk and Baltimore, and in 1881 Florence
became Mrs. Maybrick.

AN ANCIENT EGYPTIAN NECKLACE.
More Like q Ribbon Of Delicate. Tissue
Than Like Mere Metal.


Than Like Mere Metal.
It is chain Of exquisite gold. rich
orange yellow in color, with liaks dexter
ously twined one upon another, says an
article in st. Nicholas for August 1t is
about 13 inches long, e of an inch wide,
as nearly 1-10 of an inch thick as can
measure it with q rule. The ends Of it were
at first fitted only With small solid rings set
into clamps beautifully ornamented with
leafwork. Perhaps it was fastened to the
wearer's neck by a filament or cord of silk
ranged modern clasp in the shape of the
lotus flower. 1t can still be used, and in
deed as well IS ever, as an ornament tor
one in full dress. 1t is so flexible, falling
down into picturesque folds the moment it
is let CO. that it seems more like ribbon Of
delicate tissue than like mere metal. An
expert goldsmith told me, that after he had
examined it with his glass, that it undoubt-
edly had perfectness of uniformity in the
links which could be found only in a chain
manufactured by machinery.
This was TO me a matter of wonder for I
was not prepared to learn that the ancient
Egyptians had the knowledge o. machines
