and ended it on Sunday, December l.,
1875. Henry II. was crowned Sunday.
December 10, 1854; Richard l. on Sunday
September3. 1889; Edward l. on Sunday,
November 90, 1879, and Edward III, on
Sunday, January 25, 1927 On. 81, his
reign terminated on the same day of the
week, Sunday, June 81, 1877, Edward
V. terminated his brief and tragic career
On Sunday, June %, 1883. and Henry
VIII. began his on Sunday, April %.
1909. James I. died Sunday, March q,
1925, and Charles l. assumed control on
the same day. William III. was crown
cd Sunday, February 13. 1859.

The name of Wittsgenstein, says til

The name of Wittsgenstein. says the
New York Recorder, recalls to mind a
curious episode in the life of the Abbe
Liszt-the episode, indeed which led TO
his entering holy orders. In the latter
part. Of the '60s he found himself in an
exceedingly awkward predicament. He
had solemnly sworn to marry the Princess
Wittgenstein as soon as ever she should
have got rid of her husband. On the
very day of the latter's death the widow
of few hours rushed off to List house
at Rome to announce the joyful news OF
her freedom There, to her horror, she
found herself face to face with another
grand dame, to whom Liszt had likewise
promised marriage and who had that
very day obtained q decree Of divorce
from her husband. Ter-or-stricken,
List rushed from the spot, leaving the
two irate danes facing one another, and
sought refuge first in tue palace of his
friend Cardinal Hohenlohe and few
weeks later in holy orders. =

RELICS OF NAPOLEON I.

The last genuine relics of the first Ma
poleon have, it is reported, been trans
ferred to the Hotel des Invalides from
the Louvre Museum. They are ''redin.
cote grise, !" which cost 100 francs at Le-
jeune's, and the little hat which was
blocked by 'Poupard ct Cie.," and was
worn by the Emperor in the campaign Of
1914 These two articles have been long
in dispute, as the Empress Eugene
claimed them as the private property of
Napoleon III. Among the other Napo-
leonic articles cent to the Invalides are a
little tri-colored cockade in silk, which
the Emperor wore at Fontainebleau when
bidding farewell to the Imperial Guard,
and which he had in his hat when land
ing at Porto Ferrajo in May, 1914; a un-
form Of a general of division in which
the first consul appeared as Marengo; a
state sword engraved by Fillberg, of
flag of one of the regiments
Of Chasseurs of the Guards: the seat used
by the Emperor in Saint Helena. and,
lastly, the camp bedstead in which he
died. This object was given to Napoleon
III by Prince Murat Visitors to the In
valides soon will be able to see these in

leon, which have been lying in the Lou
vre since 1874 N. 0. Picayune.

1t is now absolutely certain that a
very large amount of the 4 per cent

will not be presented for extension are
in the hands of guardians or trustees
and that it will be a long time before
they are presented for redemption and
that they will come in slowly and in
small quantities. Should he be wrong,

sented for redemption Immediately af-

with eyelids wet,
And small hands clasped-sad that arch

The day that naughty George did try to
steal thy pet.

In clusters bright. thy velvet cheek, and
kiss thy ivory neck;
Thy soft eyes glance SO joyously, so full
of childish love,
They bear the hue of the evening rey of

How glorious to always see thee thus,
This face viii always be the mir-or of thy
heart,
Thoult never bow to fashion, stoop to

Flatter the proud, or cover before foe,
In thy own freedom, thou shalt dare be

WASHINGTON LETTER.
[ From our Regular Correspondent.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 21st, 1891.


+ WASHINGTON. Aug. 21st, 1891.
Editor Adrertiser:
Ex-senator Malone, of Virginia,
is daring enough and unscrupulous
enough to attempt almost anything,
but if my information is correct, and
there is every reason to believe that
it is, his latest scheme is one of the
most desperate in which he ever enga-
ged. He once captured the State Of
Virginia and got himself sent to the
Senate by getting control Of the So
called re-adjuster movement in that
State, and he is now plotting to get
control of the Farmers Alliance
movement in that State, in order to
capture the legislature and get him
/ self again rent to the Senate, this time
as successor to Senator Daniel. The
plot is all mapped out and the deci-
sion of the Republican State commit
tee of which Malone is the owner, to
nominate no Republican candidates
for the legislature was part and par
eel thereof. The word has passed
along the Republican lines that they
must support the nominations Of the
Alliance for the legislature if told to
do so by their local leaders, and they
are to be told to do in every instance
that-a blind pledge Mahone's name
is not vet to be used-can be secured
from the farmers candidate to vote as
they may be told for the successor to
Senator Daniel.
Harrison Republicans have never
been plenty outside Of the holders of
the Federal office, but there Is now a
manifest disposition even among that
class of Republicans to get aboard of
the Blaine train; which is believed to
have given impetus enough by the Sc
mi-endorsement, of the. Pennsylvania
State Convention to enable it make
the trip to nomination station without
any serious difficulty, even should Mr..
Harrison attempt TO play the part Of
train wrecker by placing Instructions
on the track, which he may or may
not do, as circumstances may deter
mine.
All the rumors about the coming
retirement Of Secretary Noble and
Commissioner Of Pensions Raum have
been revived this week. One of the
causes for this was the statement made
by Secretary Foster that Mr.. Harrison
would return to Washington the first
week in September instead Of remain
ing away until the first Of October as
he had originally contemplated, be-
cause there was some very important
business connected with the Interior
department that required his personal
attention. The only question pending
before the Interisr department., 50 far
as the public knows, that might be
considered importahts enough to re-
ouire the personal attention Of Mr..
Harrison is that of compelling the cat
tie kings to vacate the Cherokee out
let, they having up to the present
time quietly ignored the orders Of Un:
Gle Sam to get out; but the general
sentiment seems to be that the impor-
liant business is naming the successor
to Secretars Noble and to Commission
er Raum, who are the two most irn.

A Mississipian, a Georgian, aud q
Texan were together yesterday in the
rotunda of an uptown hotel, says the

was boasting of the excellence and

spoke up the Georgian: II beg to.dif--
fer with you there, for We raise q
great deal of cotton ourselves. and

"But," said the Texan, gentlemen
I think the honor of being the great
est State belongs to Texas. We have
the greatest variety of crops, and We
have the richest soil in the world.
We can raise anything in Texas ex-
cept watermelons." j., :,
'tAh, said the Georgian, with .
triumphant look. "And Why can't you
raise watermelons?"
Because" said the Texan sadly,
the vine grows so fast and runs over.
the ground so fast that it wears the,
little melons out dragging them along
on the ground. There never was but
one watermelon raised in Texas and
the man who raised it put in on sled
and hired two negroes with teams of
oxen to stay in. the field day and night
and pull the melon along sfast as the
vine grew"
"And what did he do with it," ask
ed the Mississippian. !.
"He cut door in the side of it and
drove all of his hogs in it, and when
they ate their way out in the fall they
were all seal fat"
Gentlemen" said the Georgian
meekly, "let's take a drink" And
this wound up the tristate controversy.
