The conflagration of the scafIolds in
tended for fireworks for the celebration
of the marriage Of Louis XVI is gener-
ally known. Amidst the distracted
multitude pressing on every side, tram
pied under the horses feet, precipitated
into the bitches Of the Rue Royale and
the square, was young man, with a
girl with whom he was III love. She
was beautiful; their attachment had
lasted several years; pecuniary causes
had delayed their union: but the follow
ing day they were to be married. For a
long time the lover, protecting his be-
trothed, keeping her behind him, cover
ing her with his own person, sustained
her strength and courage. But the tu-
multi. the cries. the terror and peril
every moment increased. II am sink

''There is yet a way." cried the lover
in despair; 'get on my shoulders" He
feels that his advice has been followed,
and the hope Of saving her whom lie
loves redoubles his arlor and strength.
He resists the most violent conclusions;
with his arms firmly extended before his
breast he with difficulty forces his way
through the crowd; at length he clears
it. Arrived at one Of the extremities OF
the place, having set down his precious
burden, faltering, exhausted, fatigued to
death. but intoxicated with joy, he turns
round. It was different person. An
other, more active, had taken advantage
of his recommendation. His beloved

II remember a Christmas | spent in
Mr.. Booths company many years ago"
said a young theatrical manager in the
foyer. HE had bought q summer resi-
dence at Cos Cob, Conn, the previous
summer, and invited me up to play
Santa Claus and do the chimney act.
His property was fair sized little
promontory Of land, bounded on one side
by the Connecticut river, on the other
side by Long Island Sound, and the
New York and New Haven tracks
formed the base line. If there is any one
road affected by tramps it is that same
New Haven road, and when | arrived,
two or three days before Christmas,
there was line of them waiting their
turn at the gate that reminded me Of a
highly successful advance sale, one
tramp near the gate even offering to sell
his advanced position for ten cents.
Booth was much worried about the dan
gerous looking fellows, and it struck me
that dog would be highly appropriate
as gift.
81 wired to friend in New York, and
the day before Christmas the biggest
Siberian hound | ever saw was waiting
at the little station for me. Booth was
tickled to death. and we managed to
chain that dog just inside the main gate
near the lodge, and then we shook hands,
1t was an awful big dog, bigger than a
little donkey that arrived on the next
train with a go-cart as present to his
little daughter Edwina. Well, we fixed
up the presents that night | dressed up
in fur rugs and traps us Santa Claus, and
had arranged to drive the donkey into
the reception room and distribute the
gifts from the well laden go-cart. The
dog was to remain in the little shed we
had extemporized for him, but he didn't.
He was there on business, and he attend
ed to it promptly. The chain broke like
a piece Of twine and broke for the bal
cony, which | just managed to reach
from the cart. Of course there was a
racket, and got into the window, and
by the time we had armed ourselves with
antique swords and revolutionary mus
ket the noise had subsided sufficiently
for us to venture forth The dog was
just seen in the moonlight disappearing
over the stone wall, thousands of dollars
worth Of presents were scattered in the
deep snow, and donkey meat and fur
were lying an inch deep over the three
acres Of the Booth premises The Sibe-
rii2a bloodhound had torn the donkey to
atoms. Chicago Tribune.

There is no branch of railroading

make their living on the iron rails, and
mans long service and skillful knowl-
edge do not throw absolute safeguards
about him. Poor Martin Ryan, who
had the science of railroading down to
the finest notch, was killed by his own
train after eighteen years Of service.

About Tornedo Isonts,

The next most important thing to
speed in torpedo boat is the quick
turning, and for this purpose the larger
Normand, Sclrcau and Yarrow boats
have two rGdders, one in the usual place
at the stern and one under the bow.
Mr.. Thornycroft has another device.
He puts two curved rudders near the
stern and the propeller is between them,
so that when the rulders are turned to-
gether, the water which the propeller is
driving astern is turned little to one
side and helps to push around the boat.
The latest idea in torpedo boats is to
have their launching tubes mounted on
turn tables on dec. instead of being
fixed in the bow VITA this improve
ment boat viii not have to steam
straight at her enemy, stop, launch its
torpedo and then turl to run away; but
it can train its tube or the big ship as if
the tube were a gun, and launch the tor
pedo while rushing past 1t full speed
This would be less dangerous for the
torpedo boat, for it would not afford the
men on the ship good aim at her.

THE LEGEND OF GOLDBERG.

Still and ghastly in the moonlight
Lay the German village brown,
But appeared no human figure,
For the plague was in the town.
There had corpses laid unburied,
And whom death had CHANGED to spare
We're all hidden in the houses
From the pestilential air.
So in terror had they hidden,
Dreading night, afrsid CT day.
Praying, waiting, scarcely hoping,
For the dread to pass away
Came the snow, then morning sunshine
Came the Christmas as of old,
But no form moved in the village;
1t lay silent, white and cold.
Rose that morn the singer, Caspar,
From the bed where he had lain
Gle alone of all the stricken
In his home would rise again).
Il alone,'' he thought, ''am living;
i alonen-his eyes grew dim
Il alone of all the village
May repeat the Christmas hymn
'swhat though death may be awaiting
What is death?-the day is bright;
will sing the Christ child story
Sing it looking on the lightl''
Open then he threw the shutter,
And upon the silent street
From his lips rang out the anthem,
Strong and hopeful, clear and sweet.
Through the frosty air of morning
The old Christmas anthem rang
What was that? Another shutter
Opened wide as Caspar sangl
And anotherl and another!-
There was limit to the slain
God be thanked A score of voices
Joined with Caspar in the strainl
And they knew no more were dying,
That the hand with power to stay
Had been reached out to deliver
This they knew on Christmas day.

An OLD slaves ROMANCE.

A colored woman, bent nearly double
with eighty years and heavy bundle,
was seen to board the Cincinnati Mail
line packet yesterday afternoon. APP
preaching the clerk Of the boat she slow
Iy.untied knot in the corner Of her red

was owned by planter near Asheville,
N. G. At an essfly age she was married
to a slave Of the same master By him
she had several children. Over half a
century ago her husband was taken
from her and her children, and was sold
to another planter. The woman con
tinued to work on the North Carolina
plantation. and in short time was
again married. Her whole family was
then sold to a Virginia man.
When the emancipation proclamation
was promulgated the family took ad-
vantage of their freedom and journeyed
northward, finally taking up their home
IN Louisville. The husband died after
the close of the war, and the children
one by one left their mother to seek their
fortunes elsewhere. The mother toiled
and labored to make livelihood She
heard nothing of her first husband until
about month ago. when one Of her sons
found that the old man was living il
Newport. KY. The old negress jour
neyed thither and found the husband Of
her youth. He had also been married
the second time, and had several chill
dren by the second wifa The latter was
dead, however, and the reunited couple
decided to again live together. The WON
an returned to Louisville, disposed Of
her effects, and yesterday afternoon com.
pleted the romance of fifty years by re-
turning to her husband. d.-Louisville Post

In order to make wool tissues water
proof manufacturers have to expose the
fabric to temperatures as high as 266 to
2S4 degs. Fahrenheit. and it has been
found thai the tissue thus treated loses
all its resistance. Up to 230 degs there
is no change in wool or wooden goods,
but when heated to 266 degs. or above
both turn yellow and show evidences of
combustion. BY a series Of experiments
Mr.. J. Perzog, an eminent French an
alytical chemist, has discovered a new
process by means Of which wool threads
and fabrics may tc made to retain their
durability and original resistance under
high temperature during the process of
manufacture
Acting upon the established fact that
glycerine greatly prevents evaporation
of humidity, Mr.. Perzog saturated some
woolen fabrics with a solution contain
ing 10 per cent. Of glycerine, and ex-
posed them 10 high temperatures The
fabrics thus treated showed not the
slightest change under u temperature of
2S4 degs. Fahrenheit, and they retained
10 per cent. Of The glycerine The dis
coveTy of this simple principle removes
one Of the greatest difficulties with
which manufacturers Of waterproof
fabrics have had to contend. -Philadel-

How He Prepares for 1t.
For month before Christmas every
pious Greek has observed rigid fast,
says traveller, consequently the table" +"
which on that day is spread in every
house, produces something akin to fes-
tivity.
My friends of the evening before
begged me to sit down and partake of
the meal that they had prepared. It
was somewhat of struggle to me,
must own, for | expected it would not
be served in very magnificent style.
Still, was not prepared for what actu-

On small round table was placed a

not such cheese as we are accustomed
to put with ours, but coarse Sleeps milk
cheese, which stung my mouth like
mustard, and left a pangent taste therein
which tarried there for days. Then
there We're no plates, no forks, no spoons.
The master Of the house had knife
with which he attacked the dish, and
the one which on ordinary occasions fell
to the mistress was now kindly placed
at my disposal. AS for the rest Of the
family, they were an example of the
adage that fingers were made before
forks, and these fingers grew perceptibly
cleaner as the meal progressed.

were contest in gastronomic activity
Yet it was pleasant to see the appetite

was left behind in the contest, and had,
fear, to tell many untruths concerning
my appetite and the excellence Of the
dish, and great was my relief when it
was removed and dried fruits and nuts
took its place
To drink we had resinated wine-that
is to say, wine which had been stored in
a keg covered with resin inside, which
gives the flavor SO much relished by the
Greeks, but which is almost as unpalata-
bic to an Englishman as beer must be to
those who drink it for the first time
The wine, however, had the effect Of
loosening the tongues of my friends, who
had been too busy as yet to talk, and
they told me many interesting Christ
mas tales. Exchange
