with short, curly chestnut hair and exquisite
complexion. Her smile was winner, and it
played havoc with Pearsons' heart.
She was also passionately fond of dressing
in blue. Blue was Mr. Pearsons' favorite
color, and her very becoming light blue
wrapper was always favorite costume with
him On the day of his death he and she
went TO dine at swell restaurant OF course
every one knows that champagne is the only
beverage on such occasions, and that cham
payne makes person happy and somewhat
reckless. Among other things they talked of
swimming. She couldn't. He could; he was
a fine swimmer. He offered to teach her.
She was not unwilling, especially as her bath
ing suit was of a delightful shade of blue and
had never been worn
Mr. Pearsons' yacht was at the lake; there
they went. 1t was about S:45 p. m Mr..
Pearsons and Miss Emily put on their bath
ing suits. He jumped overheard and called
to her to follow him. But she couldn't swim
at al and refused to jump into the cold, deep
waters Of the lake, choosing to remain where
she was, perched on the rail of the yacht In
her trim little suit The exact manner IN
which the unfortunate man lost his life is
clearly told in her own language:
Il thought l heard him groan. He turned,
called for a rope and started back to the
yacht thought be was joking about the
rope, but ordered one of the boatmen to get
1t out. He swan to within two feet of the
yachts side. l could have put my hand on
his shoulder. The rope was thrown down in
front Of him, just over his hands. Suddenly
his head went forward and he disappeared.
II thought be had dived, and l ran around
to the other side of the yacht to see him come
up. When several minutes, as it seemed, had
passed l told the men to look at the bow and
stern He's hiding from me- l said. Even
after ten or fifteen minutes had passed, with
everybody searching for him in vain, could
not believe he had drowned. We continued
the search for three-quarters of an hour, and
then gave it up. The yachtsman fixed buoy
over the spot where he had gone down, noti-
fled the police, and we came home"

THE PARIS EXHIBITION.
A VILLAGE OF JAVA, BUILT AND
INHABITED BY NATIVES.

Peculiarities of Architecture-A Dyer of
Observation-Disclosures Band of Dancing
GirIs-Javanese Musioians-The Largest
Vase in the World.
1t has been truly said of the Paris exhibit
ton that by7Siewing intellgently its many
features, the trip TO Paris can be made TO an
swer many Of the purposes of an extended
journey. The different villages, especially,
are said to be faithful pictures of scenes in
the countries which they represent, and to
the average visitor they form the most in
teresting exhibits of the show.
In the Dutch portion Of the Esplanade DIES
Invalides is a model "Kampong," or Javan-
ese village, inhabited by sixty natives Of the
direction of n. Richard, who lived on the
island for seventeen years.
The houses are built principally Of bamboo
and palm leaves, brought from their native
soil for this purpose, and were constructed
entirely by JavaneSe laborers In building
them hatchets and knives were the only tools
used. Not single vail or screw is to be
found in the entire village, the bamboo
framework being bound together with vege-
table fbers. A peculiar but very agreeable
kind of ornamentation appears on the walls,
in which there are no windows They are
eovfed by q thin coating Of fine clay on
WHICH patterns in leaves or bamboo rind are
casafully arranged. Even the doors and
srbors are of bamboo, and the furniture is
almost primitive il its simplicity.
The twenty women form a very important
part of the little community, for upon them
devolVes most Of the manual labor. Four or
five of them do the cooking and washing for
the entire village, while the remaining work
is divided among the others, always except
ing the ballet dancers, whose labors are con-
fined to the theatrical performances.
One of the women, her name Is M'Prede,
always attracts curious crowd by the ar
tistic Way in which she dyes funny little
handkerchiefs. Her process can be COM
pared TO the manner II which an artist
etches his plates. She first carefully covers

romac on the United States vessel Princeton.
On 1t was then the immense gun called the
''Peacemaker," which fired a ball Of 225
pounds. The order was given to fire it while
passing Fort Washington.
Il rose upon my toes and opened my
mouth" says Thomas n. Benton, who was
on deck, ''to lesson the shock and the next
instant was as dead as ever shall be-"
He heard no report, saw no fiash-all was
vacancytill he revived. The gun had burst,
and on thedeck lay the mangled remains of
Mr.. Upshur, secretary of the treasury; Mr..
Gilmer, secretary of the navy; Commodore
Kenyon, Mr.. Mnxey, minister to Holland; ;
Col. Gardiner, cohored servant of the presi-
dent and three or four sailors. Many others
were injured. The widespread mourning
may be imagined. The orphaned Misses Gar
diner We're taken to the White House, and
since that time it has been a part of the I'M
written law of Washington that president,
vice president and cabinet shall never travel
IN group.
When the period of mourning had passed,
President Tyler and Miss Julia Gardiner
were married in New York city, June 26
1874. That she was Catholic in religion
was fact much commented on at the time
that being the year of 'sNativism" and the
i-Catholic riots. She lived and died in
that faith, CONSTANT Christian. She re-
tired with her husband to Sherwood forest
his estate on the James, and remained there
till after the civil war, when she removed tc
Richmond.
She was at one time an active correspondent,
and her letters are very Interesting. She wrote
to the Duchess Of Sutherland, Viscountess
Palnerston, Lady John Russell and other
English ladies, defending with warmth and
marked ability the constitutions of Virginia.
Ex-President Tyler died early IN 1852, and
she was afterwards, with other widows of
presidents, granted a pension of S., 900 per
year. She leaves three sons and daughter,
one son, Lyon G. Tyler, being president of
William and Mary college Another son,
who had served with distinction in the Ger
man army and received medal from EN-
peror William, died in Santa Fe while en-
gagged as a surveyor. One daughter also died
before her mother. AT the close of the war
all the Tyler papers and mementoes were
burned in Richmond, an irreparable loss and
a great grief to Mrs. Tyler.
