JOHN BROWNS RELIC.
A Main Man Owns the Shackles That
Bound the Old Hero.

James n. Atwood, of Livermore
er, has in his possession The shackles
worn by John Brown when he was
captured. Soon after the execution of
John Brown, in 1850, Rev. Hezekiah
Atwood, originally Of LivermOre, Me-,
was in Charleston, Va, and while
there visited the jail where Brown
was incarcerated awaiting execution.
He was shown the leg irons which
were placed upon Brown at the time
of his capture, and worn constantly
by him until his execution. He tried
to purchase the shackles, but was told
that it would be impossible.
Asking the old negreSs what would
happen if the irons should disappear
and another pair be substituted, she
replied that 'the number would be
good evidently with no idea CT their
historical value. Mr.. Atwood, after
much difficulty, procured another pair
at an expense of SIS, and was soon in
possession of the coveted ShackleS.
At one time during the lifetime of Mr..
Atwood they were used in lectures by
Henry Ward Beecher. Upon the death
Of Mr.. Atwood and his son Hezekiah,
Jr., the latter's widow gave the irons
to James N, his brother, who now
owns them and prizes them highly.
The handouts worn by John Brown
are in the possession of Capt Com
fort, Of Pennsylvania, who has refused
$1,000 for them.

THE DEAK GIRL ON THE STAIRS.
How Lovely and Sweet She Can Make
Herself Appear.

What huge chunks OF delight a girl
takes in making a picture of herself,
remarks an English writer, says the
New York Commercial Advertiser
That may not be very lucid. L do not
refer to either painted portraits or
crayon outlines. L mean real, live
pictures, with leafy summer house
or a dancing, wavy lake as a back
! ground.
And stairways! Well, even a girl
without any particularly artistic taste
will linger while coming down stairs
if there happens to be a man at the
foot
One can always grasp a banister so
gracefully, and when one is dressed in
a simple white frock and ones hair is
Ill loose and curly tie picture is very
effective. Lots of girls make it a point
to be at the head of the front stairs
when specially treasured young man
calls.
Then they descend slowly, smiling
sweetly all the time and grasptng
yards of fluffy skirts in one hand. No
man, however, old and sour tempered,
can resist a girl when he sees her
coming down the stairs.
Small girls have the advantage to a
certain extent, because they can peek
over the railing and do all sorts of
coquettish things without appearing
utterly idlotic, as tall girls invariably
do under trying conditions.

COLORADO COULDN'T DO IT.
National Government Would Stop the
Working Of Gov Waite'S Scheme

Washington, Dec. 7.--Acting Secreta-

today intimated very plainly that the
government would interfere should any
attempt be made to give practical eff

that Colorado would make silver legal
tended and provide for its free coin
age at the state mint.
Curtiss said that Gov Waite knew
very well that the United States alone
has right to coin money and coinage
by !; state would be contrary to the
constitution. The attorney general, he
said, would be asked for advise as to
the proper course, should occasion re-
Guire action, which he did not think
would be needed.
