Some Living Descendants of the Celebrated
Marat and Others.
There lately died and was buried
humbly in Paris person who deserves
a line of obituary notice, If only by
reason of his descent This was young
man named Herault dc Sechelles whose
great-grandfather went to the guillotine
with Danton, Camille Desmoulins,
Fabre d'Eglantine and fifteen other
more obscure beings on April 6, 1894
The youthful descendant of this repub-
lican celebrity was very poor, and his
uncle an old printer, whose eyesight is
nearly gone, acts as a commissionaire be-
fore the Figaro office. The descendants
of Marat are luck.er than these. They
are really the offshoots of his younger
brother, Jean Pierre Marat, who died in
1s45. Mavats nephew, who was for
long time a clerk in the land-tax
Office at Geneva, still lives in a green
old age, but he has suppressed the final
at" in his name. 1t is supposed that he
did this in order to escape souvenir
hunters, autograph demons and the like
Another nephew of Marat lives at Saint
Nazaire, and his son, bankers clerk,
is in Paris, together with his married
sister. Other relatives of Marat
changed their family name and settled
in Russia. 1t is said here that Lord
Rosebery possesses most of Marats pa
pers which were for so long in the
faithful keeping of his fayorite sister,
Albertine Marat, who as we'll as Simope
Evrard, his mistress, lived separated
from all the members OF the family of
the revolutionist A descendant OF
Danton is now an inpector of the uni
versity, but, like the nephew of
Marat, he is rather RVerse to being in
terrogated about his notorious ancestor.
1t is also to be noticed that the surViv-
ing Marats and the university inspector
are, IL any thing, conservative in poll
tics and have never been distinguished
for any lively sympathy toward the re-
public.-Cor. London Telegraph.

How She Surprised the Dudes In Central
Park, New York.
A striking-looking young woman came
into Delmonico's the other day. She
was tall and of magnificent proportion,
with fair hair and deep blue eyes
Brunhilde in new gown.
Il saw that young woman do most
remarkable thing few days ago in the
park, said man who sat with a party
of friends near the door. There are
not many men who are strong enough to
do it. She was alone and was walking
along with pair of mastiffs at her side.
The dogs seemed ill-disposed toward
each other, and from occasional snarling
broke into angry growls and then sprang
at each others Threats. Instead of run
ming as most women would have done,
she walked coolly over to them and
struck them smartly about the head
and neck with the little riding whip
she carried in her hand. But it had no
effect. The next thing she did was to
throw the whip away, catch the collar
of one of the huge animals with the
right hand and the other with the left,
and by sheer force of muscle hurl them
apart She stood there for a minute,
her hand in the collar of each dog, hold
ing them out at arms length and half
lifted from the ground. The half-choked
animals stopped their growls and were
quiet A moment longer she held them,
then with a sharp word of reproof she
let go her hold on the collars, picked up
her whip and went calmly on with the
hind her.

nerve and strength ever saw a woman

He did not escape the miseries and
devastations which the war brought
upon his countrymen. His house and
lands were left to him desolate and
waste. Financially ruined, the scourge
of care forced him to look about him

urgent persuasion of influential friends

leaving large family to mourn his
loss. None of his children inherited

talent for making foreign languages his

A cHILO'S ROMANCE,

Regiment"
Our St Petersburg correspondent
makes US acquainted with the latest
daughter of the regiment" During
the Russo-Turkish war private in the
Kexholm regiment when in Bulgaria
found little Turkish girl about four
years old, who had been abandoned by
her father and mother. The soldier
took the little one to his officers, who
resolved to adopt it The child, who
was suffering from want of food, soon
recovered, and told her protectors that
her name was Ash. AS soon as peace
had been signed and the Russians were
allowed to enter Constantinople the
Colonel bought quantity of dresses
for ''the young lady," and "a hat with
real garden of flowers upon it." When
the regiment returned to Warsaw the
officers resolved to do their best for the
girl. They imposed upon themselves
an income-tax of one per cent, and re-
solved to pay to the Ash fund" ten
cOpecks of each game of cards used at
the regimental club, etc. Ash, who
meanwhile had been christened under
the name of Maria Kexholmskaia, was
then placed at the Maria college for
young girls at Warsaw. Twelve years
have passed and Maria Kexholmskaia
has become pretty girl, and has just
finished her college studies. The regi-
ment gave fete in her honor a few
days ago; then state dinner, during
which the oldest non-commissioned Of
fcer of the regiment, in the name of
all the privates, presented holy image,
and in the evening there was a ball.
As sign of her gratitude Maria Kex-
holmsksia presented the reg ment with
q large velvet cushion, on which she
had embroidered in gold the monogram
Of the regiment and exact copies of all
the decorations and medals the reRi-
ment has received for its gallantry In

Where 0nr WeaIt6 IA

In the region beyond the ninety-eighth
meridian of longitude west of Green
witch, the initial point being St Paul,
and its final one North Platte, Neb,
while on the south it extends eastward
to Fort Worth, Tex, eighteen States
and Territories were visited and
traversed. The contrasts offered by it
to the solitude of 1865 were almost
amazing. West of the merid an named
there are now at least %, 900 miles Of
railroad, and of telegraph wires not less
than $50, 900 miles. OF telephone and
electric light cables, in proportion to
population, there are more miles in use
than elsewhere in the United States.
There is to-day more property owned
per capita than elsewhere in the conti-
nent. Two-fifths of the national do
main is found west of the line given,
and certainly three-f1fths of the remain
ing public lands of the United States
must be sought for in the same region;
and that, too. without considering
Alaska. Yet how few persons are cog
infant of the fact that, east and west.
the geographical center of this Union is
somewhere in the bay of San Francisco;
for with the Aleutian Islanders flying
our flag within fifty miles of the Sibe-
rian coast of Asia, our domain extends,
on a northwestern and southeastern
line, some 3, 600 miles beyond the Golden
Gate.-Colonel Richard j. Hinton, in
