T A OF HISTORIANS.

Blondel, the harper, did not discover the
prison of King Richard. Richard paid his
ransom, and the receipt for it is among the
Austrian archives. ,. "a.
Caesar did not cross the Rubicon. 1t lay
on the opposite side of the Italian peninsula
from the point where he left his own DOS
sessions and entered Italy.
William Rufus was not accidentally shot
by an arrow from the bow of Walter Tyr
rell. He was assassinated. His body, when
found, bore the marks of three or four
sword thrusts. :
The story of the invention of malleable
glass by a Roman glass worker in the time
of Tiberius and of his being put to death
by the emperor was a sheer fabrication.
No such glass was ever invented.
Vinegar will not split rocks, so Hannibal
could not thus have made his way through
the Alps. Nor will it dissolve pearls, SO
that the story of Cleopatra drinking pearls
melted in vinegar must have been a fiction.
Sappho, the poetess, was not a wanton
beauty, nor did she throw herself from the
Leucadian cliff to be cured Of an unworthy
love. The latest Investigations prove her
a respectable married woman with a large
family, whom she raised with as much
care as a Greek matron usually gave her
children.
Mary Stuart Of Scotland was not a
beauty. She had cross eyes, and to save
the trouble of having her hair dressed cut
it off close to her head and wore a wig.
When after her death the executioner
lifted her head to show it to the people, the
wig came off and showed q close cropped
skull covered with gray hair.-St. Louis

leased a suitable piece of land

ing was moving his effects to
the new location. He was driv-
ing a heavily loaded one-horse
express wagon down Perry street
hill. when near Fifth, the horse took
fright and dashed ON down the in
cline and across the railroad tracks.

gates, but only partially succeeded.

ing one Of the posts supporting the

end of the wagon, striking the gate
with such force that his neck WAS
broken. the body falling apparently

moned, but it was found that death
had been almost instantaneous.
