Put the Horse to Bed.

One of the best known society women
of Philadelphia spends the spring
months in her country place, a few miles
out of the city. This lady, who may be
called Mrs. Stellcart, although that is
not her name, went out there with her
family few weeks ago. Soon after
opening the country house her husband
arrived from the West, where he had
been on business, bringing with him
magnificent Kentucky saddle horse,
which he gave to his daughter Eleanor
for birthday present. Not long after
ward the gentleman was again called
away from this part of the country, and
that same afternoon his wife discharged
the coachman for being imprudent.
When evening cams on Mrs. Stellcart
was in quandary. She knew that the
horse had to be taken care of, and she
didn't know exactly how to do it, go she
said to her daughter:
Eleanor, we've got to put Toag to bed.
I recollect hearing your father tell John
to be very careful to bed him down nicely,
so we must do as we'll as we can"
They went to the stable, and took from
the carriage house the cushion of a
wagon seat, and couple of horse blan-
kets. Then they repaired to the stall in
which the Kentucky saddle horse was
rapidly growing hungry, likewise weary.
Mrs. stellcart and Eleanor placed the
cushion where they supposed the horse
would use it for pillow, and managed
to arrange one of the blankets to serve in
lieu of mattress. Then they tried to
coax Toag to lie down, in order that they
might throw the other blanket over him
and tuck it nicely about his heels. But,
for some unaccountable reason, Toag
would not lie down. They tried to coax
him and throw him off his feet, but the
greatly astonished horse at last protested
so strongly that the ladies gave up their
work. Their house is situated half a
mile from any other, and they didn't
know what to do. But at last bright
idea struck Eleanor, and she with her
mother hurried to the front gate and
stayed there until two men passed by.
These were called /; the situation was
explained to them. They didn't under.
stand it at first, but Mrs. Stellcart finally
burst into tears and begged them to come
in and put the horse to bed. The men
willingly walked to the stable and looked
at the stall for moment. Then they
leaned against the wall and laughed until
they were nearly exhausted. Toag went
to bed as usual that night, but he didn't
sleep on the cushion of a wagon seat and
covered with blankets.
Every day since this occurrence those
two men have made it point to walk
past Mrs. Stellcart's residence, stopping
by the front gate long enough to roar
with laughter 80 she could hear tbem.-

Now, if the conditions we're reversed

The Victim Of the Science.

ST. LOUIS, May ga great deal of
comment is indulged in and not little
severe criticism over the death of Miss
Lucy McKeegan, daughter Of Judge E.
McKeegan, one Of the foremost lawyers
in the city. She died last Tuesday at
the home of her parents, "a Vandeventer
Place, and developments show she was
clearly victim of Christian science.
She was seventeen years old, beautiful,
end talented, a student of Mary Insti-
tute, and favorite in school and with
the younger class of society. Nearly
three weeks ago she was taken sick, and
her absence from school caused some OF
her classmates to visit her house. They
found her sick, but learned that no ply
sician was in attendance. She grew
worse, and last Saturday at her own
earnest solicitation DR.. Walter Coles was
called in.
He saw at once that she was entirely
beyond his skill. Her disease was
typhoid fever. When questioned to-day,
the doctor refused to discuss the matter,
as be has for many years been an intimate
friend of the family. He did say, how
ever, that the parents were believers in
Christian science, and had placed their
daughter under the care of 1.-TWO teachers"
instead ofcalling physician, and when
he was finally called the disease had made
such progress that no skill or medicine
could save her.
She fingered, however, until Tuesday.
Her funeral took place yesterday. The
Christian science feature of the case was
suppressed until comment grew so gener.
al, owing to the social standing of the
family, that the whole sad story came
cut.

Mrs. Surratt1s Execution.

WASHINGTON, May 24-The Rev. j.
A. Walter, pastor of ST. Patrick's Church,
this city, has prepared and presented to
the Catholic Historical Society in New
York paper on Mrs. Surratt, which he
thinks will throw new light on the char.
acter, trial and execution of that unfortu.
nate woman. It will be read before the
Society tomorrow night. Father Wal.
ter vas !pastor of st. Patrick's Church
when President Lincoln was assassinated,
and Mrs. Surratt was member of his
congregation. On the very night that
Booth fired the fatal shot she was at
Father Walters Church, and that cir.
cumstance alone, in the mind of the cler.
gyman. was partial proof that she knew
nothing of the plans prepared by the
assassins at her house. he became
deeply interested in her case, was her
confessor and adviser after her arrest as
we'll as before, and did everything in his
power both by appeals to President
johnson and by bitter denunciations of
the unjust measures adopted by the Gov.
ernment in its prosecution, to save her
from the gallows.
Although the occurrences which
Father Walter describes in his paper
occurred so long ago, he still feelsfreshly
and keenly the injustice which led to
Mrs. Surratt's execution. In speaking
of the matter to SM, representative he
said: If President johnson had been a
man of courage the execution would not
have taken place. He simply acted in
accordance with public i,lamor, and
signed the death warrant without even
reading the testimony on which the wo.
man had been convicted. I went to him
and told him that l had read every line
of the testimony, aud that there WAS not
enough evidence to hang cat on ; that
I did not ask a pardon for Mrs. Surratt,
nor Communication of sentence, but
merely reprieve for ten days, in order
tina! I might prove her innocence, but
President Johnson did not have courage
enough to comply with my request. He
feared if he did 80 be would be accused
of commencing the deed that had put
him in the Presidential chair. So he
consigned an innocent woman to
shameful death in order to escape the
adverse criticism of frenzied populace.
The whole trial was an outrage, and
there is no doubt that the Government re-
sorted to fraudulent measure in order to
obtain conviction.
"Mr. Bradley, who defended John Sur.
ratt, had among mis- papers a telegraph
book showing that John Surratt was in
Elmira on the night of April 13, yet
when a search was made for the hotel
register, that would have shown his
presence there on that date, it had diHap.
peared and not until year ago was I
able to ascertain that the Government
had taken possession of it and had with.
held it in order toedeprive the prisoners
of the benefit of this bit of evidence.
"John Surratt was allowed to escape a
trial because the Government knew it
had no case against him, and if he we're
innocent, his mother was also. It has
been charged that forbade Mrs. Sur.
rats speaking, but this is not true. She
declared her innocence up to the time of
her death, and beyond this declaration
she had nothing to y."-Baltimore SIN.
