Another Idol Shattered.

One by one the cherished idols are being
dragged from the high pedestals upon
which sentiment has placed them and
humbled and discredited in the CALLING
dust of reputation. The last to tumble
was Jessie of Lucknow" the highland
lassie who, in the sorely besieged city dur
ing the Indian mutiny, heard the pibroch
of her clan afar off above the din of battle
and long before any others could be made
to hear it, and who cheered her compan
ions just o the point of surrender to re-
newcd exertions by her thrilling exclama-
ton: The Campbells are comm! Oh,
dinna ye hear it; dinna ye hear it?" She
is proved by the Scots themselves to be
simply a pleasant myth. The matter has
been thoroughly investigated and testi-
mony from many of the survivors of the
famous siege has been taken,
1t is proved that there was no such per-
son as Jessie Brown in the Residency, and
that anyway it was impossible to hear
the bagpipes at the distance declared,
Nothing but the roaring of guns could be
heard anywhere in the city, and the pipes
OF the highlanders were only heard LONG
after the city was practically relieved and
when the pipers were nearing the Bailey
guard gate. More than this, SAYS the New
York Sun, the story has been traced to its
origin in a little romance written bv a
French governess at Jersey for the use of
her pupils, and followed through It's
journeyings until it reached the London
Times on Dec. 10. 1857. 1t is sad and a
a shame, but Jessie has been sent to ioia
William Tell and the other dethroned gods
and Goddesses, and the Scots gave her up
finally and publicly a few weeks ago..

ed, that her time on earth was getting
short, she determined to make one supreme
effort. She set out from her African home
alone for London. She carried no letter of
introduction, and her only credential, if
such it may be called, was a satin quilt
upon which she had herself embroidered a
pattern of the coffee plant. This she in
tended to present to the queen.
Of course the poor old creatures mission
would have resulted in failure and conse-
quent disappointment had it not been for
the accident of an acquaintance formed on
the steamer on the way to England. BY
this means some persons of influence, who
were on board, heard her story and in
terested themselves in her behalf. When
the party arrived in London, Aunt Mar
tina was introduced to the Liberian consul,
DIR. Blyden, who after considerable trouble
succeeded in getting Queen Victoria to
promise an audience. On the appointed
day Mrs. Kicks, accompanied by DR.. Bly,
den, his wife. daughter and granddaughter,
proceeded to Windsor, where the queen
received them ~graciously, shaking hands
with each of the party in turn and saying
many pleasant things to all. Besides her
majesty, there were present at the informal
reception the following members of her
family: The Prince and Princess of Wales.
Princess Beatrice, and her granddaughters
the Princesses Victoria and Maud.
Mrs. Kicks was thoroughly delighted
when the queen said to her, II feel greatly
honored by the trouble you have taken to
come to visit me-" The whole party of
Liberians left Windsor highly pleased.

A Laughable Occurrence.

An easterner, who was in the city sew
eral days ago, engaged a driver, an ex-
cowboy, and started down the river on
a pleasure trip. He carried with him a
kodak, and took views of the scenery
along the road.
1t happened that they caught sight of
one of the boats, which run up and down
the river from this point, and driving to
the river bank, got out his kodak and
prepared to take a picture Of it as it
came down stream. The captain of the
boat saw him, and stepping out on the
deck cried ''shoot away, you can't hurt
anything" referring, of course, to the
camera. But the cowboy heard him, and
instinctively directed a shot Of another
description at the boat, in a spirit of fun.
The bullet cut the tiller rope square in
two, and for an hour and a half the boat
swung around in midstrem, beyond con.
troll. The captain fumed and ragged, the
cowboy looked blankly at the boat and
said he guessed he had been misunder-
stood, and the photograph was not taken.
The truth OF the above is vouched for,
by several prominent farmers who live
near Glencoe, who say that the occur
renee was laughable, indeed.
