James N. Atwood of this town has in
his possession the shackles worn by John
Brown when he was captured. Soon
after the execution of John Brown, in
1859, 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 num-
Der would be good" evidently with no
idea of their historical value. Mr.. At
wood after much difficulty procured an
other pair at an expense of SIS and was
soon in possession Of the coveted shac-
kles. At one time during the lifetime Of
Mr.. Atwood they were used in lectures
by Henry Ward Beecher .-Livermore

A Christmas Tree In Paris.

Opposite the church of st. Eustache is
the great market of the Halles, which
furnished the worst of the horrible mot
of ishwor1en who, 100 years ago,
swarmed Versailles to tear the queen
to pieces. On Christmas eve their lineal
and commercial successors, the present
''dames des Halles," raised among them
selves a handsome subscription and fur
nished a great tree for the half starved
poor of that quarter. The lower branches
were loaded with toys and good things
for the children. the upper with legs of
mutton. bottles of wine, warm clothes
and all sorts of comforts from their we'll
stocked stalls; illuminated by candles
and encircling bonires. Around this
tree was held a great reveillon-the best
attended in all Paris, needless to say
which lasted from midnight until 4
o'clock Christmas day. The generous
women who had prepared the tree did
not go home at all, but opened their
stalls, rubbed their eyes and made ready
for business .-Pittsburg Dispatch.

How Jack Gets Whisky.

One of the most arduous tasks devolv-
ing upon the officers of a warship is that
of preventing the men from smuggling
intoxicants aboard the ship.
A company of half a dozen men on
one of the warships here during the ma
val review had a young parrot for a pet
housed in a gorgeous big cage. The bird
was the successor of several that had &C.
cupied the anne cage during a stay al a
tropical port. The owners seemed to be
unfortunate with their pets, which lived
only a short time. The one they brought
here, which had stood the voyage well,
died soon after the ship arrived in port.
The men took the cage ashore and got
some other kind of bird. That also soon
died, and so did four or five others in
succession within a few weeks.
Finally the officers noticed the great
mortality Of pet birds, as they had also
noticed the great frequency with which
the joint owners Of these pets got mys-
teriously drunk aboard ship. A suspi-
cion dawned upon them, and they seized
the birdcage. They found it had a false
bottom, with a capacity for several
quarts of whisky, and also that the food
tins and even the thick bars were hol-
low. The men had killed their cheap
pet when other schemes for obtaining
liquor were not available, and taking
the cage ashore for another came back
with a new bird and half a gallon or so
Of whisky.-New York Sun.

Ministers sometimes play good jokes
upon themselves. Rev. Thomas (.
Beecher tells the following:
"Some years ago a young man named
Plympton came to Elmira to take charge
of a paper. l was in the habit of pub
fishing my church notices in the paper,
and one Saturday night the gas gave out
and promised to stay out for a day or
two. So | ran over to Plympton and
said: Just say, Services as usual, ex-
cepting the gas"
"'Shall 1 print it in just that way?
asked Plympton.
"'Certainly,'I said, and left him. He
did publish it that way, and next day
narrowly escaped being tarred and
feathered at the hands of a committee
of my deacons, who thought he was ridi-
culing me."-Ram's Horn.

wildering array of sterling knives, forks
and spoons that lay beside them, as if
seeking for the proper weapon of attack.
Then they sat still and looked inquiring.
ly at Mr. T. Brown Jones.
That worthy noted the glance, as he
seemed to note every other movement OF
noise about the dining room.
"The custom, don't you know, of eat
ing oysters on the half shell with these
little forks" he said thoughtfully, hold
ing n of them up and then spearing a
bivalve with it, sis an excellent one."
The B~oweryites at once looked as re.
lieved as two masked faces could, and
were soon vigorously plying the oyster
forks.
"Table etiquette should be taught at
Yale. Now. when l was in Jale"-Mr.
Jones was continuing refectively, when
he was interrupted by a loud guffaw
from his Bowery confreres. There were
ever slight smiles upon the faces of the
inwardly raging Mr.. Van Tassel, the
outwardly Tuning Mr.. Cowles and the
monocle eyed Mr.. Girard.
-"when | was in Yale, don't you
know" Jones repeated, looking up in
apparent surprise. 81 was struck by the
reflection that proper table are

sci, with a roar of pent up rage.
Cornelius. for heavens sake, for my
sake. do be quietl" pleaded his distracted
wife.
Cornelius, if you don't stop roaring
SO, I'll not only gag you, but I'll also
have our mutual friend, McAllister, ex-
pei you from the One Hundred and
Fifty" murmured Mr.. Jones, toying
with his revolver. "Sorry you don't like
oysters" he continued, cody appropri-
ating the plate of the helpless Van Tas-
sci.
Evidently Mr.. Girard and Mr.. Cowles
were not fond Of Blue Points also, for
the Boweryites followed Jones example
and transferred their oyster dredging
operations from their own empty plates
to the full plates of Van Tassel's male
guests.
"Blue Points are so small, don't you
know, that really l shall be compelled
to accept your Offer" Mr.. Jones said
apologetically a few moments later as he
took Mrs. Girard's oysters. In the same
deferential his Bowery friends
made way with the bivalves huddled to-
gether upon the plates of the other help
less ladies, and then, following the ex-
ample of Mr.. Jones, carefully wiped the
oyster forks on their napkins and put
them in their pockets.

the cratic glass again shot down the

But Mr.. Jones was not at all dis
couraged. for he promptly attempted the
feat once more. This time Mr.. Girard
lifted his right eyebrow at least half an
inch as he saw the monocle coming,
closed down upon it as Mr.. Jones cried
"Nowl' and success crowned the joint
undertaking.
Meantime the other two burglars had
followed the example of their chief, and
each was seated beside one of the male
guests, with chrysanthemums brushing
the black masks that covered their faces.

er's statements concerning their Bowery
ancestry. They also watched Jones mar
rowly through the eyeholes in their
somber masks and promptly initiated
him in everything he did at the table.
Meantime, too, Mrs. Van Tassel had
pressed her trembling foot to the cleo
trio bell and summoned BETTY. She had
pOOA "OiidCiihS III d ddZcu oOIt Vi way
what had become of the maid and was
hoping that she had either rung the mes
senger call for the police or had escaped
from the house and personally sought
aid.
This hope was dispelled by the prompt
appearance of Betty at the door. She
was pale and trembling, and very evi.
IDENTIFY half frightened out of her wits.
She stepped to her mistress side and
waited, her face the picture of mingled
wonder, fear and helplessness. She was
too well disciplined to speak even under
such remarkable circumstances. She
simply stared.
"Your maid seems to have become
petrified mentally and physically, Mrs.
Van Tassel," said Jones in a low voice,
as if the words were for her ear alone.
perhaps it would be well to explain to
her. don't you see, that dinner is to be
served as usual"
AS he spoke Mr.. Jones again carelessly
laid his hand upon one of the revolvers
beside him. Mrs. Van TasseI's face
would have been an excellent study for
a picture of Despair.
"Dinner-dinner as usual, Betty she
faltered in a whisper.
Whenthe Blue Points were served, the
Bowery swells glanced doubtfully from
the tempting array of shells to the be-
