Va an alumnus Of the University Of North

gentleman Of superior intellectual parts,

springs II hare heard all OF the best
campaigners in Virginia Of the last thirty
years and heard many leading men In
England on the busting. bnt Tho greatest
political speech / ever heard was
Pryor'e speech al Charlotte Courthouse,
where Patrick Henry and John Ran
dolph used 10 speak with such mastery

the finest l ever heard from any orator. 1
saw that day venerable, educated gentle
men who bad ridden In their carriages
forty miles 10 hear Mr.. Pryor. After the
speaking they stood together talking over
what they had heard. Looking into each
others face they sgreed that they had
heard no such oratory as that SINCE Kan
dolph's day."
Mr.. Pryor's speech in the great meeting
in Richmond, IA 1860 we think It was, that
nominated Governor Floyd, was generally
regarded By all as splendid effort. We
heard one of the Alexanders say that he
did not like Pryor, but it was the grandest
speech be ever heard from mortal lips.
The papers accorded 1t the highest praise.

THE REWARD OF CALAMITY.
A Young Man Who Suggested q Cup of
water.

In an evening train day or two since,
SAYS the Albany argus. was young man OF
the day and behind him we're two young
ladies Of the same line. The train was
moving very fast.
One of the fair ones grew faint. The
young man saw 1t and suggested cup. OF
water. She nodded assent and thanked
him.
He arose, only too willing to be OF SER
vice, and started for the ice-water tank at
the other end of the swaying car. After
lunging into two men and knocking o
lady's hat clean under the seat he reached
the elusive tank.
The expression on his face was anything
but angelic. and he stood and thought
hard a moment before drawing the LIQUID.
Then followed burlesque extrays-
CANA. which pleased some OF the passen-
gers and did not please Others.
The young man drew the cold, clammy
fluid, buttoned up his coat, and started.
The train must have taken q curve then,
for the gallant young man made just three
seats and he was thrown over into the
arms of a gentleman who was deep IN con-
versation with Morpheus.
The Clearwater went with him and deluged
the sleeping man, who rose and threw the
gallant young man out into the aisle.
The young man struck his hat against
the end of seat In his fall and inserted
his entire Uranium in II.
Then he got mad and struck out. hitting
another man who was reclining in seat
SQUARE on tho top of the head.
The man who was all ice water threat
ened lynchlng and talked in q loud voice OF
dissecting the man who had deluged him
inch by inch.
There might have been riot, but peace
makers interfered and patched up the af-
fair with explanations.
But there were many aboard who thought
it was all very funny.

"cHeRRY RIPE" DISAPPEARS.
The Police Of London Mt Work on n Mys-
terIous Case.

tertous case
The police of London and of the CONT
nent have since September 22d last been
investigating the mysterious disap-
pearance Of a beautiful young girl gen.
erally known in her own circle as " Cherry
Ripe. - from the fact that she was the orig
NAL " Of, that is TO say she sat for, Millals's
celebrated picture "Cherry Ripe" The
real name of the beautiful GIRL is Blanche
Barrett. and for some time previous TO her
disappearance she had been sitting for the
great painter and other artists. Miss Bar
rett. however, was always accompanied by
her mother and is not known TO have
formed the acquaintance Of any person
unknown to her mother. On September
AID Cherry Ripe's" mother applied TO
Magistrate Denman at the Wadsworth
Police Court for assistance In tnding her
daughter.
Mrs. Barrett said that during the after
noon of the day previous 10 the young
girls disappearance a neighbor heard
screams in the house and saw Cherry
Ripen rush out of doors, pursued appa-
rently by man. Since that time the
beautiful model has not been heard of.
Tho Magistrate. ct the instance OF Mrs.
Barrett, gave the police the following de-
scription of CHERRY Ripen; Fourteen
years of age, very tell and well developed,
dark eyelashes, dark brown hair, tair CON-
plexiop, and Grecian features.
And now comes the strangest part OF the
affair. A story, possibly--even probably
untrue, is in circulation 10 the effect that
the Girl has been abducted and taken TO
the United States. 1t is even added that
the New York police have been asked to
investigate some clues which recently came
into the possession of the police.
The murder theory has also been adj
yanced, but is now abandoned. These
facts are given for what they are worth
namely. that Cherry Ripe'' disappeared
ON 22d September last, and that she has
has not been found in spite of the efforts
of the police.

They Number In Their Ranks Many of
Europe's Blue-Dlooded Processes.
Philadelphia Telegrnph's London letter.
Those who rave with unceasing bitter
ness against women who smoke and who
declare thei habit to be ill-bred and fast
have no idea Of the women they are con-
demning. People with such ld-fashioned
preiudices have usually old-fashiond feel
ines on the subject of the reverence
due to crowned heads, and would
pause before uttering their scathing
COMBINATIONS were they aware that the
"pernicious and disgusting habit" was one
In which the majority of queens in Europe
indulge. The Empresses OF Russia and
Austria, the Queen of Italy and the Queen
Regent of Spain. as well as their Majestes
of Portugal, Roumania and Seryia, and
the Countess OF Paris, are all ardent lovers
of tobacco, of which they are also thor
oughly good judges. Perhaps the most in
yeterate smoker among the royal ladies Is
the Empress of Austria, who oonsumesf from
thirty or forty cigarettes a day. She
keeps her tobacco in an exquisitely-chased
silver box, which, together with gold
ash-tray, are always 70 be seen on her
wrlting-table. Her Imperial Majesty of
Russia and Queen Marguerite OF Italy only
smoke In the privacy OF their own 6oudo'rs.
That of the Empress of Russia is most
fascinating apartment. which makes a
really ideal smokng-room.
It Is fitted up in the style OF one of the
loyeliest rooms at the Alhambra. palm
trees giving 1t quite q tropical appearance.
while tempting lounges invite that repose
which is such delightful adjunct to the
fragrant weed. The Countess Of Paris will
look at no tobacco which has not grown in
the sunny climate of Havana, and while
the Queen Regent of Spain gives her vote
in favor of Egyptian cigarettes and the
Queen of Roumania declares in favor OF
Turkey, Queen Natalie, Of Servia, has
q store Of tobacco from each country,
OF which she is careful to get only
the very best. / believe the cigarette
cases carried by some Of these ladies are
yeritable dreams of beauty, being usually
of gold inlaid with precious stones. Turn
ing TO our own country, 1t would too long
to mention the names of the .wellknown
feminine yotaries of the weed. and it Is
not even necessary to repeat that they are
some of the highest In the land. A very
large proportion of our blue" women
smoke, and many of them even smoke
cigars as strong as those affected by the
sterner sex.

tChicago Daily News.l
Several months ago We told Of an old
lady, then living in Philadelphia, who had
been the place. Of Henry Clay. We nov
learn of the death Of this woman, and oil
the destruction of the letters from Clay,
which she used to exhibit as the greatest
treasures in her possession. She was 0
quadroon, her mother Kentucky slave.
and her father having been the nephew
of George Washington. Clay saw her
first during one Of his campaigns IN
Kentucky. She was a marvel OF
beauty, and her father had appropri-
her education and support, This girl went
to Philadelphia and lived in an establish
ment set up for her by Mr.. Clay. To this
house would Clay repair whenever his
duties at Washington admitted OF his
leaving that city. After Claws death bis
place. was married to German, and they
went to California. After several years
she returned O widow and lived in PhIla-
delphia up to the time of her death 10
the end she retained much of her personal
beauty and all her old charm Of manner.
She was exceptionally intelligent, and her
"reminiscences OF the old times were full OF
interest ana information.
Several years ago she revisited New Or
leans, and while there she invited Mr..
Clarence King, of New York, who hap
pened to be there en- rotae from Mexico, to
90 with her to see the house where as a
girl she had lived in the old town. The
two walked down Canal street toward the
French Market, and came duly up to the
Clay statue. The old lady did not know
of the existence of this statue. Mr.. King
called her attention 10 IL.
she was overcome with emotion" says
Dir. King. Il was never q witness TO d
more pathetic scene. In fact, was CON-
PEELED to call carriage to take. her back to
her hotel"
This old lady had forty love-letters from
Clay. Just before her death she read
them all over for the last time and then
burned them. She said she could rot
leave them for Others to read-others who
might misinterpret them. Mr.. King says
that che allowed him to read many OF
them, for she was proud of Clay's regard
for her. These letters indicated that Clay
was madly in love with her. After reading
them it was apparent that the real reason
for Clay's leaving the Senate was not po-
litical, but was determination to follow
his beautiful place. to New Orleans,
whittier she had gone.
