Benson j. Losing. ulty VI Delng grace
full, interesting writer with the ability to
draw and engrave, made few sketches in
sepia, to show what he intended to do, and
called upon the Harper's. It did not take
that far-seeing firm long to see the merit in
the idea and the artist-author was imme-
diately engaged on work that was to entail
four years continuous labor; the outlay of
many thousands of dollars, and it may be
added fair share of misfortune, for within
few months after its publication the entire
edition was lost in the great fire that
destroyed the Harper establishment in 1858,
which necessitated new and revised edition
two years later.
Mr. Losing was tremendous worker at
all times, and has given this country most
of its popular historical works. His death
will be a sort of wind-fall for relic hunters,
if his possessions are disposed OF. Long ago
he was known to have large collection of
historical curiosities and library of thou
sands of volumes, including as matter of
course many rare and valuable works.
Among them is copy of Ovid's "Matamor-
phoses," translated in Virginia by Edwin
Sandys, and the first book made in this
country An autograph of Miles Standish
on the cover adds considerable to its value.

these was intended to preserve the poor
lady from falling alive into the hands of
the enemy in case of an attack.
Happily there was no occasion
to use it, thanks to Lieutenant
Grant and his brave followers.
The incident recalls another, almost similar
in character and place. 1t occurred during
the awful catastrophe at Cawnpore, and diff
fered in that the heroine, Miss Wheeler,
was less fortunate than Mrs Grimwood, so
far as her own life was concerned, although
she was every bit as brave. After old Sir
Hugh Wheeler, commandant of the post
and father of the heroine, had been tricked
into leaving his stronghold by the treacher-
Gus Nena Sahib, the boats were captured,
the male occupants slaughtered and the
women divided among the captors. Miss
Wheeler went home with the Sepoy
cavalryman who had claimed her, init
mating by her actions that she was recon-
ciled to her fate. But that night she rose,
while the household slumbered, and, seiz-
ing the Sepoy's sword, swiftly avenged the
massacre of her own family by putting not
only her captor to death, but also his wife,
son and mother-in-law, who were in the
house. She then took her own life by
jumping into well nearby, knowing there
was not the slightest chance of making her
escape,
Mrs Leslie and Her Marquis.
When Mrs. Frank Leslie returned from
Europe year or so ago, she was the fresh,

! ticulars as to the why MARQUIS de Leauiue.
and the wherefore demanded. Mrs. Leslie
was diplomatic enough to do considerable
talking, without once committing herself to
direct answer to the main question pro-
pounded to her. She merely gave it to be
understood that the affair was off for good;
that she would never return to Europe until
the Marquis de Leuville was either dead or
married. As far as she herself was con-
cerned, if she ever married, she would
marry journalist.
Time has worked some queer changes
She is returning to Europe again. Her
noble lover is not dead, neither is he mar
ried, or likely to be until the fair Frank
marries him herself, which she now pro-
poses to do. Now what is the cause of all
this? She said she would marry none but a
journalist During the time she has been in
this country she has done considerable
newspaper work, and must have in that time
met some pretty good fellows in the same
business. Can it be that they have fallen
short in her estimation; that she has met
not single "quill-driver" in the entire
course of her wanderings worthy of her? If
remember correctly, Mrs. Leslie in all her
travelling has not stopped once in Pittsburg.
That probably accounts for it
Chauncey Depew's Salary.
= That story about Chauncey Depew re-
ceiving $500 year salary, as President
of the New York Central Railroad, is still
going the rounds, together with the addition
that it is paid him for what he knows about
railroading. Many believe there is not an
individual living who is worth that much
money to railroad or any other business,
unless he holds valuable patents which it
pays his employers to have the use of
MI. Depew may be able, for
all the outsider knows, to return full value
for all money received. 1t is worth while
