A curious adventure has happened to
NJ. Arsene Houssaye, the author. Some
years ago, while at his country seat in
the department of the Aisne, he saved a
little girl from being burned to death in
a fire which occurred on her fathers
farm. He had forgotten all about the
event till the other day, when a hand
some young woman called at his chateau
and informed him that the fremen of
the village where the confagration took
place had voted him a medal.
81 am the child you rescued from the
flames" she said, "and have come to
thank you with all my heart for your
noble and generous bravery" Her name
is Mile. Dupre, and she is on the point of
getting married.
NJ. H~oussaye, charmed with her simple
bearing, and delighted with the medal
she handed him, said to her: $50 you are
going to be married are you? Well, l am
glad to hear it, and shall consider it an
honor if you will allow me to provide
your gown for the wedding and another
gown made of flame colored gauze to re-
call to mind the first day | made your
pleasant acquaintance" 1t is needless
to say that she accepted the offer.-Paris

Miss Florence E. Howell, of Decatur,
and George Vardyke, of Louisville,
married at midnight, had an eventful
experience. Twice had the wedding day
been fixed, but it was postponed. The
third time they came nea missing it
again. George expected his wedding
suit from Louisville by express. 1t did
not come, although the couple waited
until the last train was in before start
ing on their journey in the mud. five
miles distant to the home of the bride,
where the wedding guests had assem-
bled to witness the marriage. At Z
o'clock Vandyke procured his license,
and as he was coming out of the Office
he fell headlong twelve feet into the
cellar of the new court house. Later he
started with the bride and four friends
for the Howell place, when the single
tree broke, the horses kicked themselves
loose and ran away, leaving the party in
the mud. Another vehicle was secured
and the journey resumed. The party
arrived at IL o'clock to find some of the
guests getting ready to go home. The
wedding feast was cold, but the wedding

The following satirical production,
purporting to show how the Russian
court travels, appears in the German
papers in the form of a letter from a
Russian court functionary to his friend
in Berlin: Dear ~Friend-The following
may serve You as an exact information
1t Is quite uncertain when we leave Co
penhagen. In any case this afternoon at
z o'clock-it may be also early the day
after tomorrow; but quite certain to-
morrow mt noon. We shall, of course,
choose the sea journey, for the land jour
ney suits us much better. For this rea-
son it is not yet decided which we shall
prefer. | think we shall go by sea as
well rs by land. When we leave the
steamer we get into the train-that is to
steamship on rails, or rather an express
train in the water. We are mainly afraid
of s~easickness. therefore we remain rs
long as possible IN the ocean For after
all one travels best on terra firma; there
fore the sea journey is as good as set
tied. We travel via Berlin, where you
may await me at the station; but you
can ave yourself the trouble, as we
shall not touch Berlin under any consid-
GRAFTON. We shall travel via Stettin.
When l say Stettin l mean Danzig.
Naturally we shall go direct from Co
penhagen per ship to Konigsberg. There
fore au revoir the day after tomorrow in
Berlin. We leave here in a week; where
we shall go is quite still undecided"

In order to economic space and
weight, steel is being nsed for the con-
struction, at the Chicago exhibition, of
a chimney which, when completed, will
be $50 feet high. The steel varies in
thickness from 5-32 inch at top to
Il inch at the bottom. The lower part
of the chimney is lined with fire brick
8 inches deep, formed to fit the shell
compactly all round. Above this hollow
tile is used.
The weight of a brick chimney of this
size would be almost 700 tons, while in
steel it will weigh, including the Innings,
a little less than $50 tons. The outside
diameter of the chimney is o feet 8
inches, whereas had it been constructed
of brick it would be 16 feet 9 inches, a
great saving of space being thus effected.

EIPerts Disagree ns TO n 500 Bank Noes.
A 800 banl: bill is causing a good deal
of discussion among bank tellers and
government officials. AS to whether II
is good or bad there is a difference o
opinion.
The bill turned up at the Illinois Trust
and Savings bank a few days ago. Tell.
er Cooper thought it a good bill and
showed it to other experts. 1t purported
to have been issued by the First National
bank of Boston. To settle the question
the bill was taken to the s~ubtreasury.
Receiving Teller Schoeninger pronounced
it bad and punched the word counterfeit
in it as is customary.
There are few counterfeit 800 bank
bills known to be in existence, and that
of the First National of Boston is one
of the best. In 500 bank bills, at the
left is a picture Of Commodore Perry
and his men in a rowboat on Lake Erie
just as the commodore is about to utter
the memorable words, 1--WE have met
the enemy, and they are ours" In gen.
uine bills water is seen to be dripping
from both sides Of an oar suspended
above the water. In the counterfeits
tne water urlps from only one size OF
the par blade. The bill in question had
a drip on only one side, it is claimed, al
though the bill was SO much worn that
1t was difficult to determine that point.
1t was the main point on which Mr..
~Schoeninger bases his decision.
Tellers generally think the bill is good
in spite of the decision Of the receiving
teller of the subtreasury. 1t has been
sent to Washington for a final decision.

4 ZINE SCHEME. D E

There was n rather remarkable meeting
held, beginning at s O'Clock last evening,
in City Treasurer Parshsl's office. All
the Republican judges OF election had
been called together to receive instructions
and Lawyer Churchill was there to cx-
pound the Law.
The character of the talk was rather
surprising in view of the fact that all of
the judges are sworn to ImDartially up
hold the law. 1t was chiefly to the effect
that if a vote was known to be Republi-
can it should not be too closely scrutInized.
but if il was known TO be Democratic it
was to be rigidly examined. This Is GER
taIuly a remarkable turn for party politics
TO take and we arc not surprised that
some OF the Judges should subsequently
express their Indignation that any person
believed that they had so little respect for
At oath as to violate it in the effort to oh
tain partisan advantage.
The Republican oficeholders who en-
gioeered this scheme must feel themselves
in desperate straits indeed.

KEEP HEART AND HOPE.

With many frown and shudder,
With many a sigh and tear.
They'll tell you the world is out of joint;
But don't you believe it, dear.
The world is the old-time planet,
Kept up by the same old fires;
And the people, il not the self-same lot,
Are the types of their ancient sires-
They'll tell you that hate is rampant;
That love is now dying out;
That the devil will conquer the sons Of men,
And put ali their plans to rout;
But don't you believe it, daughter,
And don't you believe it, son;
For the good that exceeds the evil deeds
In life's battle is ten to one.
Yes! love is thing electric,
That girdles the teeming earth,
And love is thing unmeasured-
No length, no breadth, no girth;
It enters the town and city, . @
The village and country nook,
'Mong rich and poor with its mission pure,
To be read like an open book.
In the hearts of the little children
There are oceans Of love to win;
Enough to blight, with its pillows bright,
The rankest weeds Of sin.
There is love in the heart of woman,
Not she of the brazen face,
That may lead man to the gates Of heaven,
And bless coming race,
Then let the grumblers grumble,
And let the croakers croak,
The world is what we make it. dear,
And love is the master stroke. =.
It will kill the wrath of nations,
1t will soften the Christening rod
1t will even abide, and lead and guide
The love that was born in God.

THEY AGREED TO DIE.
One Shot Himself Dead and the
Other Cut His Throat,

While people were going to Easter services
in Chicago, H., Carl easel and Henry
Spania sat al a beer table and agreed to kill
themselves there and then. easel bought
one more round OF beer, and then Spania
Went out of doors and bought a revolver
When he returned the TWO respondent
men began TO make preparations for the
double suicide 1t was finally decided that
easel should shoot Spania and then kill him
self. One more round of beer was ordered
and drunk
TLen easel weakened. He told his friend
that he was willing TO kill himself, but he
did not care to die a murderer Spania
argued that as there was but one revolver in
the party, the job could be done more ex-
TeditiOusly if easel would commit murder
and then turn the weapon upon himself.
easel finally consented TO this proposition,
but just as he was about to fire Spauia
backed out and said he preferred TO kill
himself. The waiter in the saloon brought
one more round OF beer and left the two
men alone in the little room
" hen the beer was drunk easel arose
turned the weapon upon his neai and fired.
He Tell dead across the table. Spania did
not take his life by this method The re-
voiver lay on the floor, and the German
VINO was yet alive. but too exc.tei to get
the weapon, thrust his hand into a pocket
and drew out huge knife.
Before using the blade, however, he leaned
over the table and satisfied himself that his
companion was deaG. Then he drew the
knife across his throat.
Spania was alive wnen the bartender ran
into the room, but before his hand could be
stopped the blafe OF the knife came down
with a powerful sweep and cut the man
nearly to the heart. The fellow before he
died told Of the agreement he had made with
easel
