Charles II Arms. assistant United
States attorney for the District Of Co
hlnlbia. while At the Grand Hotel. Seat
tie. told the following interesting remit
niscenee OF Colonel Ingersoil aud tse late
John McSweeney, the Willy orator aud
lawyer:
when Colonel Tngersoll undertook
the defense Of Dorsey. Of star route no
toriety, he Was given check for $50 900.
with the understanding that he WAS TO
employ some one to assist him and pay
for such services. IngersolI determined
to employ the late John insolvency, o..
Wooster, Ohio. who was tie foremost
criminal lawyer in the United States.
Ingersoll had never met McSweenev. but
no telegrapbed him TO come to Washing
ton. McSweeney, although a full blcoiel
Irishman, had spent several years at q
German university aud looked like a
German.
Dorsey confidential man, George Eak-
ers, was German, and was expected tho
day before McSweeney would arrive As
Eakers had some important knowledge,
Colonel fngersoll was anxious to see him.
He went up to the Arlington. where all
OF tile Dorsey party were quartered. and
awaited his mans arrival Soon there
entered a tall, stout man, with his trous-
ers tucked into pair Of No. boots aud
his clothing despatched with mud. His
hair fell in ringlets TO his shoulders, and
his whole appearance was that Of a jour
neyman Texas cowboy. The stranger
had scarcely had time to look around be-
fore his hand was in the grasp Of the fa-
nous orator, who said:
II am Ingersoll.
Yes, returned the other, II was look.
ing for you.
"Ah!I thought so. chuckled the colo
mel. "Come right up to the room. (" and
without giving the guest time to register
he escorted him TO the room.
"One OF the first things wanted TO say
10 you, Mr.. Eakers. was in this matter Of
my fee. IL won't be worth while 10 men
ton the amount received TO McSweeney
when he comes, as he will naturally do

cheap as / can. or course | must have
him. and il il comes TO pinch would
pay him $23, 600 To assist me, but think
can get him for 5000 perhaps, and |
am satisfied that he won't refuse $40, 900
in such a case as this, if he thinks that is
all he can get. He's an awful stickler
for fees. though, hear, SO just oblige me
and don't tell him what got.
"oh, certainly not, said the staid in
dividual.
well, I'll see you again in few min
utes, said Ingersoll as he left the room.
A short time after that he saw the
name John Insolvency. on the register
and sent up his card. He was directed
TO the same room.
Where's McSweeney7" inquired In
gersoll, looking around hurriedly.
That's my name, said the supposed
Eakers, with comical drawl that grated
on Ingersoll's ears. What followed need
not be told OF course they divided the
zee equally. Seattle Press.

A final word-about tho famous ballerina
Marie Taglioni She was. we are told. by no
means cood-looking woman. and she did not
try to make amends for her lack OF personal
charms by her amiability. Any male Of the
Latin races she held metaphorically, as we'll
as literally. Mt arms length. OF the graceful
ness 80 apparent on the stage there was not
a trace to be found in private life. One Of her
shoulders was higher than the other: she
limped slightly. and waddled like duck. The
pinched mouth was firmly set: there was no
smile on the coloress lips. and she re-
piled to ones remarks in monosyllables.
No doubt she had suffered wrong at
the hands OF one man. her husband;
nevertheless. according to our author. tho
wonder to most people who knew her
was not that Comte Gilbert de vosins should
have left her so soon after their marriage. but
that he should have married her at all. 1t was
not only the utter lack OF personal attractions
that made every one. men and women alike.
Indifferent to Taglioni. She was what the
French call une pimbeche." to which perhaps
the nearest English equivalents ''shrew." In
1852. more than eight years after Sir Richard
had first made Tagloni's acquaintance. he met
her at dinner at the Comte do Morny's. She
and Rachel were the only women present.
Just as they were sitting down to dinner
Comte Gilbert de Vosins came In and took the
seat which was reserved for him. He was
evidently not aware OF the presence Of his
wife. for after few minutes he asked his
neighbor. pointing to her. Who is this gov
erness-looklng old maidr' His neighbor told
him. He showed neither surprise nor emotion.
but seemed to be consulting his recollection:
then he said lis it1 1t may be- after ALL
and went on eating his dinner. His wife acted
less automatically. She recognized him at
once. and made q remark to her host In suft-
GENTLY loud voice to be overheard. Our author
says he always credited De Morny with tho
good intention of bringing about a reconcilia-
ton between the two but such an outcome
was hopeless after Taglionis exhibition Of
temper. Nevertheless Comte Gilbert. whether
from devitry or from n wish to be polite. went
up to her after dinner with friend. who in
troduced him as formally as II he and she
had never seen one another. Taglioni made
a stately bow. II am under the impression"
she said. that have had tho honor Of meet
ing you before. about the year 1882" With
this she turned away.
We have been able hero to give only a very
faint idea OF the contents OF even the first
volume Of this work. The second. to which We
shall refer hereafter. will perhaps be scanned
by most readers with keener curiosity. be-
cause 1t relates to persons and events nearer
our own times. to Napoleon III. and the
Empress Eugenie. to Rouher. the Vice. En-
peror. to Persigny. de Morny and Walewski.
and in short to almost all the men and women
who figured in the political and social. literary
and artistic life OF the Second Empire.

Some OF the most interesting chapters In tho
first OF these volumes are those which treat Of
the great painters OF the reign OF Louis
Philippe. We hear great deal Of Horace
Vernet. Gabriel De Camps. Paul Delaroche and
Eugene Delacroix. Tho latter. for whom the
author felt great admiration. possessed a
strange personality. ono Of whose striking
features was the entire absence Of susceptible

amusing description OF the miscarriage OF the
attempt OF Georges Sand to net Eugene Della
crox. The painter. 1t seems. had shown some
signs of yielding to the charms which few men
were able to Withstand. or at any rate Georges
Sand fancied that she could detect such indi-
cations. Whether 1t was from wish on her
part to precipitatel matters or to nip the thing
in the bud. the author does not presume to
determine. but 1t Is certain that she pursued
her usual tactics-that Is. she endeavored to
provoke confession OF her admirers feeling

Sir Richard Wallace has great deal to say
about Rachel. for the reason that In his opinion
not n single author OF her tmo represented
herin her true character. Either her genius
blinded the men who knew hor to her ia ults
or else they were content to perpetuate the
popular belief In her amiability. good nature.
and generosity. The fact is. according to
Sir Richard. that Rachel of the stage was
made of very ordinary clay. She had few OF
the good qualities Of her race and good many
OF the bad ones: she was greedy to q degree
and could DO very spiteful. She was dimcult
