A few minutes afterwards there was once
more a general flutter In tho room. Miss
Bretherton was going. She came forward In
her long, flowing black garments, holding

a child, Mrs Stuart's youngest, looking at
her with large, wondering brown eyes and
finger on lip. Tho actress suddenly stopped

strength into tho midst of her soft furs and
velvets, and kissed her with gracious
queenliness. The child threw It's little white

bright vision was gone, and the crowded
room seemed to have grown suddenly dull
and empty.

looking on. "In another woman thoso things
would DO done for effect, but don't think
she does them for effect IL Is as though sho

atmosphere, she is NO sure Of herself and her

There is a wonderful absence of mauvaiso

CHAPTER III.

On their arrival ut tho theatre, armed with
Miss Brcthcrton's order, Mrs. Stuarts party
found themselves shown into largo roomy
box close to tho stage-too, close, indeed, for
purposes Of seeing well Tho house was al
ready crowded, and Kendall noticed, as ho
scanned tho stalls and boxes through his
opera glass, that IL contained n considerable
sprinkling Of notabilities OF various kinds.
II was largo new theatre, which hitherto
had enjoyed but very moderate share Of
popular favor, 90 that tho brilliant and eager
crowd with which 10 was now fillod was In
itself sufficient testimony 10 the success Of
tho actress who had wrought 30 great
Transformation.
"What an experience Is this for u girl Of

was comfortably settled In tho further cor

by tho crimson curtains behind II. "Ono

is that we are only facing one more

The people of Ireland have really been
marching ON in an unbroken path for

of all the facts connected with their

A gentleman who has just returned
from the grand tour Of Europe gives an
amusing description of the idea the
French and Germans seem to have Of
comfort, as exemplified in the sleeping
cars run on their railroads. The cars are
hardly up to the grade Of an American
frst-class coach in construction, while
the berths are suspended BY cords from
the roof, in the Erie canal boat style of
forty years ago. The bedding unless
the traveller carries his own-consists OF
a couple Of blankets. sheets being some

early days of railroading in this country,
when Mr.. Watkins, the curator, pointed out
one particular one that had a mast and sails.
Experiments with such cars were made on
the Baltimore and Ohio and on the South
Carolina road.
1t was then a serious question whether the
motive power on railroads would be sail,
horse or steam. The steam locomotive was
still looked upon as an experiment. Sail cars
are used today on a guano railroad on the

Last of the Barons,"

Richard Neville, Earl of Warwick, and
known in history as the king maker, may be
regarded as the hero of the famous "Wars of
the Roses" He was the eldest son of Rich
ard Neville, who had obtained through his
marriage with the heiress of the Montacutes
the earldom OF Salisbury, and stood high in
court favor in the early part OF the reign of
Henry VI His eldest son Richard married
the heiress of Beauchamps, Earl of Warwick,
inherited his estates, and was created Earl OF
Warwick in l449 Joining the party of the
Duke of York he rendered great, service to
the cause of that prince, gaining almost en-.
tirely by his individual efforts the signal vic
tory of St. Adams in l455, and subsequently,
defeating the LancaStrians at Northampton
in 400, and at Towton in l4Gl, capturing
King Henry VI and securing the throne for
Edward ~. Warwick then became a great
favorite with the sovereign and the mos,
powerful nohleman in the realm.
About nine years later, however. he quar-
relied with Edward, made an alliance with
his old enemies the Lancastrians, proclaimed
Henry VI and drove Edward out of England
The latter prince, however, returned to Eng.
land in l47l, and ca april IA gained the de
cisive victory of Barnet, in which the Earl
of Warwick was slain. One of his daughters

in his oath year, and is a veteran Ct the war
of 1872. He is hale and hearty and bids fair
to enjoy the bounty of the. government for
years to come. This case is somewhat re-
markable when it is considered that the num-
Der of pension claims filed to date numbers
nearly 100000. Mr.. Ames was 5 years of age
when Washington died, 2l when the battle of
Waterloo was fought, 81 at the beginning of

The President is certainly a for
tunate man. He has appointed two
commissioners for the district of Co
lumbia, one democrat and one repub-

been raised to either. This is some
thing which never happened in Wash

alleged to have been perpetrated by
deputy U. s. marshals. 1t will not
