WALTER scoTTS DIARY.
A Most Interesting Record Of the Great
NoVeIist's Last Days
fsDesial Corr~spondenccl

Nyw YoRK, Nov. 13.-Walter Scott's
journal. just given 10 the pubic, bids
fair TO rank rs the literary event of the
year, and viii interest Americans quite
as much as the authors own country
men. Scott's personality is Of interest 10
as Tor many reasons, but chiefly for
three:
de worked himself TO death to pay his
debts. None Of the heroes be sang did a
more heroic thing than that. He gath
cred up tae floating traditions and rude
uIinstrelsy Of his native land and
wrought them into living forms of beau
" which have made the localities classic
ground. But more than al he did q
patriotic work which no other man has
been able to DO so fully for sHy country
long distracted by civil war and feuds
of race and religion.
Why Is it, the political inquirer often
asks, thai the civil wars IN Scotland were
followed SO soon by such perfect am
nesty and concord? One answer is self
evident: al the heroic achievements of
both sides have been thrown into a COM
mon stock and constitute the common
glory of the country. The honor of Civ
ing poetic completeness to this work be-
longs to Walter Scott. In his inspiring
lines Kelt and Saxon, Scott and English
man, Catholic, Protestant and Erastian
shine, each according to his merits This
great work has not YET been done for
Ireland.
Tho journal covers bat seven years,
from 1875 to 1882, and appears to have
been written more to relieve the writers
mind under It's load of trouble than TO
give information. The depression which
followed the Napolconic wars ended
about 1880, and as usual in such cases
the reaction made business men reckless.
The era Of speculation eliminated in
1928 and ended suddenly in the worst
financial reyulsion Great Britain ever
suffered. Scott was completely crushed
His publishers failed. All for whom he
had assumed any responsi bility failed,
and he was saadled with the enormous
debt Of $3.50, ,0Co.-so estimated by MS
best informed friends.

CHRISTMAS DAY.

IT'S Chrlstmas-tide. when joy-bells ring,
A merry welcome to the morn!
It's Christmas-tide, when children sing
Glad carols Of the Saviour born!
IT'S Christmss-tIde, and one sweet strain
Seems every heart aud voice to fill
The old, old story told agaiu
OF speaee on earth, to men good will"
We wander down the village street,
And past the hedge-rows white with snow,
And many an old acquaintance greet
With loving welcome as we go;
For full OF rest Is every heart.
The very air is wondrous still;
Christ's birth sweet promises doth impart
Of.peace on EARTH TO men good will"
We linger by the Old church tower.
And hear the glad bells merry peal;
They seem endowed&ith wondrous power
To sneak the thoughts which we but feel
They tell of right for every wrong,
OF glad release from every i'll;
They sing the herald angels song
or .speace on earth, to mcn good will"
And now within the church we stand,
And hear the joyous anthem ring
From high-arehed roof with cadence grand
A carol of the Saviour King;
And childrcn's voices greet our ear,
Softas the tones of babbling rill,
Telling Ia accents sweet aud clear,
OF .peace on earth, to men good will"
Anon, we leave the church, and meet
Old friends around the Christmas fire,
And hearts to hearts responsive beat
With all the love the hours inspire;
All angry thoughts must pass away,
Resentment we must strive kill,
Since on the first glad Christmas Day
Came ''peace on earth, to men good will"

Ola persisted. "No," he said, ''no
such good fortune"
His qucerly worded prophecy proved
true. As commander of the flagship
in a squadron he served through the
Civil War, and escaped without a
scratch.
His nephews and nieces grew up to
have homes and children of their own,
and in each of their homes and hearts
was always warm corner for their
uncle Percy. He was known to be
rich. His birthday remembrances
were always of a costly nature. But
he never paid the slightest attention to
Christmas.
Twenty-Five years after the CONVEX
sation he had held with his grandniece
regarding his peculiar habit at Christ
mas-time, while he was making her
his accustomed annual visit, he was
striker i'll and obliged to remain her
guest over Christmas. She had grown
to be a handsome matron, and had
three as beautiful children as one could
rest an eye upon.
On Christmas morning the tiny trio
burst into the room where the old man
was bolstered up in bed. His wavy,
snow-white hair and beard framed a
swathy, welI-tanned face that, con-
trary TO its usually pleasant expression,
had become stern and forbidding. As
the little cherubs innocently shouted
forth their loving greeting, "Merwy
Twismas. Unite Pussyl" he uttered a
groan, and sank back with closed eyes
on the cherry cushions.
"Mammal mamma. Tum twick

He Says Stanley's Account of His Brothers
Death Varies from Jameson's.
LONDON, November 8.-Mr Barttelot
says that Stanley's account of his brothers
death is completely at variance with Jane
sons account and Sorga's confession.
Lieutenant Baert, one of the officers who
tried Sorga. says Stanley's assertions that
an English jury would have acquitted him
seems an impeachment Of the court martiaps
fairness. Sorga's only defense was that
Barttelot was about to strike his wife and
as the Manyema penalty for murder is
merely pecuniary, Sorga desired no
further provocation. Bonney did not
appear until after the scene and if Stanley
depends on the accounts of the Manyemas
he must remember that they were relatives
of the murderers. In justifying his brothers.
severity it was necessary under the circum-
stances and only the same as that which
Stanley was accustomed to resort. Mr..
Barttelot declares Stanley only raised the
question in order 10 throw d1st in the
eyes of the public, and that he is quite
ready to meet him in a court of law and di-
vulge everything. He also declares that it
has been clearly proved that his brother met
his death while carrying out Stanley's in
structions TO the letter.
Mr.. Barttelot says that, although the
rear column was composed of feeble and
sick men and worst characters, and
it was in miserable condition
through famine and inactivity,
the mortality was less than in
Stanley's column. Barttelot says the Of
fense punished with so lashes was desertion,
not theft, and that Soudis' death occurred
long after Major Barttelot's.

A DELIVERY CLERKS REMARK TO DICK

She Says She Meant No Discourtesy An
other EmpIoye Originated the Express
sion That Mr.. Ouay's Mail Was in the
Dead Letter Office.
WASHINGTON, November Mrs. Wat
kins, clerk in the city postoffice here, has
been suspended because when young Rich
ard Quay asked for the mail of Senator
Quay, his father, she replied thoughtlessly
thatit was now being sent to the Dead Letter
Office, meaning because of the election in
Pennsylvania.
Written statements with reference to the
alleged offense of Mr.. Bell, Superintendent
of Delivery at the city postoffice, and from
Mr.. Watkins the delivery clerk, were SUBJ
mitted to Postmaster General Wanamaker
by Postmaster Sherwood to-day. Mr.. Bells
statement was to the effect that when Mr..
Richard Quay called for his fathers mail,
Mrs. Watkins asked in the office where Mr.
Quay's mail was Some clerk, who had been
reading the election news, replied: SIN the
Dead Letter Office" Mrs. Watkins me-
chanically repeated the word seriously to
the gentleman at the window, Mr.. Richard
Quay, who then turned away, smiling.
Mrs. Watkins statement agrees with Mr..
Bells as to the circumstances, and she adds
that she intended no discourtesv whatever.
The name of the clerk who suggested that
Senator Quay's mail would be found in the
Dead Letter Office was not given in Mr.. Bells
statement to the Postmaster General
Further investigation to ascertain his
name will be made. Mr.. Bell said the
alleged offensive remark was merely
pleasantly not intended to reach the ears OF
of anybody outside the office.

NEWARK, n. j., November IA week

know that the people were Anarchists until
the bills were posted throughout the city
announcing the celebration of the third an
niversary of the hanging of the Chicago
Anarchists. Lucy Parsons, Herr Most and
Hugh o. Pentecost were advertised as
speakers. When the speakers arrived this
evening the proprietor refused to allow
them to enter the hall. A big crowd had
congregated in the street. Mrs. Parsons
mounted the hall steps and began a
harangue. Police Captain Glori stepped
up and warned her to desist. She defed
him with strong language, and several
Anarchists urged her to continue. The
Captain gave a signal and the officers ana

POISONED HER PETS.
HOW A GoTHAMITE WREAKED HER
SPITE ON A NEIGHBOR.

She Throws Crumbs of Bread Filled With
ArsenicI to the Chickens, Cats, Dogs
and Pigeons of Her Adversary-They
Quarreled in Their Gossip.
NEW YORK, November Mrs. Cor
della Brown and Mrs. Artemecian Simon
son, who live in adjoining houses on Acad-
emy street, Jersey City Heights, were once
bosom friends, but now they meet as
strangers. The unpleasantness which ended
In severing long friendship occurred the
day before yesterday, and as sequel, Mrs.
Simonson was summoned before Justice
Wanser yesterday. Mrs. Brown made
charge to the effect that the former lady had
wantonly poisoned several of her chickens,
two Of her pet dogs, one black cat, and also
caused to be poisoned a number of harm
less little sparrows that made their nests in
the trees in the rear of Mrs. Browns yard.
Mrs. Simonson denied the whole affair,
and intimated in court that she was the
victim of persecution, and that Mrs. Brown,
who was also present, could tell much more
about the poisoning. The latter lady told
her story to the court, and the result OF 1t
was that Mrs. Simonson was placed under
500 bail to await the action of the grand
jury on charge of malicious mischief.
1t appears that Mrs. Brown and Mrs.
Simonson quarreled about the relative
merits of their neighbors ON Tuesday. Mrs.
Slmonson was then in Mrs. Browns house,
and she left in an angry mood. She went
directly into her own house, which is next
door, and few hours later Mrs. Brown says
Mrs. Simonson was seen to throw 'some-
thing" from her windows into the yard
where Mrs. Browns chickens, cats and dogs
and a number of sparrows were feeding.
Mrs. Brown saw this from the rear win
dow where she was sitting, and when she
saw the crumbs drop down into the yard
from Mrs. Simonson's window, she took it
for sign that the flag of truce would short
ly appear, and she began to reproach her.
self tor having been $50 hasty." But this
all changed a minute or so afterward,
when the dogs began to howl in dismal
fashion and run about the yard, and the
harmless little sparrows" dropped down
dead" one by one from the branches of the
tree to which they had flown after eating.
It caused Mrs. Brown no little degree of
trouble, and she rushed out into the yard to
ascertain what had suddenly gone wrong
with her pets. Then the chickens began to
turn over on their backs and die, and one
of the cats took violent fit and also died.
This was too much for Mrs. Brown. She
looked about her upon her dead pets. Her
eyes fell upon a few untouched crumbs. A
terrible suspicion seized her, and, picking
up one of the particles of food, she tasted it,
and thought it was arsenic.
