A Revolutionary Heroine.

The following story used to be told by
DR.. Alexander Anderson, the pioneer
wood engraver of America, who died in
jersey City January -, 1870. at the age
of ninety-fve. He was an eyewitness to
the occurrence, and was fond of telling
the story.
At the time of the evacuation of New
York he was living in Murray street, a
boy not yet nine years of age. Opposite
to him lived Mrs. Benjamin Day, pro-
prietress of boarding house. She was
an ardent sympathizer with the Ameri-
can cause. Although the British had
claimed and had been conceded the pos
session of the city up to noon Of Novem-
Der 25th.the city fixed for theevacuation,
her. patriotic delight could not be kept
in check. Immediately after breakfast
she ran up an American flag on pole
which she had planted in front Of her
dwelling in anticipation OF the great
event. There it remained undisturbed
until 9 o'clock, when 9 burly, red-faced
British officer came strlding along the
street. Atsight Of the stars and stripes
he halted.

and friends, he throws himself from the
bridge to the waters below. His body
has not yet been recovered, though con-
stant search, stimulated by the promise
of q large reward, has been kept up. The
bosom Of the river has been covered with
water craft of every description on the
watch for the body, but as yet the green
waters have not given up their dead.
Different reasons are assigned for the
commitment Of the act. Some say that
the hypnotic influence of the great
height and rapidly flowing water caused
the poor unfortunate to become men
tally deranged and in the moment OF
unbalance he threw himself over;
others that financial reverses were the
moving cause. Neither opinion seems to
have any foundation. That the act was
premeditated and deliberate his letters
and note, written with the coolness Of q
craven image, clearly indicate. Report
has it that the nissives were regularly
and accurately written. The evil infiu'
ence of great heights oyercomes only
when one is looking from them. That
he was financially sound is evidenced b,
his property holdings. The sad case
| adds one more to the too numerous in
stances of "man running away from thil
| worlds ills, thinking to mend himself b.
yenturing into tho world beyond"

Interesting Notes Concerning the Fair
From Our Regular Correspondent.
Special to the Irish Standard.
The Irish linen factories make very
creditable exhibit at the Worlds Fair.
It consists chiefly of drapery, plain and
embroidered, and handkerchiefs, which
the exhibitors claim are made of the fin
est linen shown at the fair. Irish linen
in various stages of preparation, from
the first product of the flax plant to the
finished yarn ready for the loom, is
shown IN connection with it. An old
fashioned Irish spinning wheel, one
hundred and seventy years old, and
model of the spinning wheel used by
Queen Victoria, for which she gave the
maker. Mr.. james McC Creery, fifty pounds,
are to be seen in this exhibit. In con-
nection with the manufacture of Ameri-
can cut glass in the Libby glass factory
iu Midway Plaisance, very interesting
study is the process Of spinning and
weaving glass cloth. The cloth is of diff
ferent colors, and has r1ch and beauh-
sui lustre. Il Is used chiefly for art em-
broidery and fancy work. It is sold in
the factory for thirty-fve dollars yard,
and purchaser will get but very small
tidy or mat for five dollars. Not the
least interesting person among the
many distinguished foreigners in the
city at present is the young and charm

People of every station in every cline
show, as rule, most intense loyalty to
their pocket books. In ito interest lies
all legislation, and waged the wars, and
hardehips and privations endured. The
merchant who offers the most for the least
therefore stands in the role of the peo-
ple's best friend. He who by his shrewd-
ness and sagacity can give more in re-
turn for the dollars than his competitors
should receive the ecomiums due the
philanthropist and the plaudits and pa
tronage of a community ever loyal to
their best interests. Take your dollars to

THE New York Tribune and it's Lon
don correspondent, G.. w. Smalley, do
not agree in their estimate Of Mr.. Glad
stone. In recent issue the Tribune
said editorially: What has Mr.: Gladstone
done since he was last intrusted by the
electorate with political power? He has
fulfilled the main pledge which he made
to the country. He has introduced the
Home Rule bill, precisely as every voter
last year in the kingdom knew that he
would do if the majority in parliament
were with him. He asked the consti-
tuencies for direct mandate for the es-
tablishment Of an Irish parliament, and
he obtained it. He is carrying out poll
cies which have been sanctioned IN ad-
vance by the electorate. He could not
do anything else without betraylng the
trust received from the queens subjects.
In keeping faith with the nation he re-
mains loyal to his convictions and no
statesman of ihe century except Lincoln
has been more honest in accepting the
moral obligations Of political power than
Mr.. Gladstone. He is hated by his poll
teal enemies, but so also is every leader
of real greatness whose voice the masses
have loved to hear. OF what account in
the sum total Of career like his, spent in
arduous labor for the welfare of the Eng
.lish people and the peace and progress
Of the United Kingdom, are the in
drawino-room or fashionable club, or the
hisses from ruffians in velvet at 9 royal
