a MUMMY ADVENTURE.
Strange Experience of French Archaeols
ogist.

A French archaeo1ogist, travelling
among the Andes in search Of knowl-
edge and specimens, had a great de-
sire to explore some of the caves in the
sides Of the precipices. They were
doubtless ancient tombs and would
probably yield him a treasure He Sc
lected a favorable spot therefore, rugged
a sort of chair or seat between two
leather cords, and engaged two In
dams to let him down from the brow Of
the precipice. "a descent of 800 feet
made in this way" he tells US. lis ex-
traordinarily long"
However. he reached the cave in
safety. and on forcing a passage into
it was rewarded by finding two skulls
and q mummy Thoroughly dry" he
says, "and pretty solid" He passed
string through the eyeholes of the
skulls and attached them to his belt
Then he took the mummy in his arms
and signaled to the Indians to draw
him up. With his heels he defended
himself against the jutting rocks and
in few minutes was almost on level
with the top. The Indians knew moth
ing about his load. Just then the yell
low skull of one OF their ancestors ap-
peared before their eyes and the idiots
gave start of surprise. The French
man thought they must have let go the
cord.
ut was the affair of a second" he
writes. What passes in the brain Of
man at such an instant is indescribable-
did not drop a yard, but experienced
all the horror Of man in rapidly fall
ing through space. My hands let go the
mummy, and while, covered with a
cold sweat, I was helped over the edge
OF the cliff by the Indians the mummy
bounded from rock to rock and landed
In bits at the bottom of the chasm."
He overwhelmed the Indians with in
vectives, but to no purpose. Such dead
men, they assured him. If disturbed in
their sepulchers, had the habit Of kiss
ing the Indians, who persisted infallibly
under their deadly breath. One of the
two declared that his own father had
died in that way. The other assured
the Frenchman that at the moment
when the head of the mummy showed
above the edge OF the rocks it opened
Its mouth. If 1t had not luckily fallen
into the abyss it would have cursed
them forever.

ALL LOVE A WIDOW.
Let Her BE Young and Pretty and the
World Is Hers.

eff were Woman-a young woman
widow" said a young man to the At
1anta Constitution man.
'I was in a big store this morning
and a pretty widow came in. She wore
becoming black and a high and wide
Gainsborough hat. The clerks rushed
over one another to wait on her.
"a little. MISUNDERSTANDING fellow
with thin, sandy mustache and light
hair was the lucky one.
"She gave him smile that fairly
made his head swim.
1.-The other clerks were simply con-
sumed with jealousy.
She wanted to look at some dress
stuff and consumed three-quarters Of
an hour of the little fellows time
"In the meantime a number of men
came in and managed to lounge around
where they could get a good view Of
her.
Finally she bought one of the cost
lest pieces in the house and the clerk
was so agitated that he made three
mistakes in fixing the check
THAT was not all. She had complete

clerks had eyes for nothing but her
And it was all because she was a
widow and wore black.

widows that I never could fully under

all sorts of hardships. Some ten days
ago he surprised his friends by announce
ing his intention of getting married, and
about week ago turned UP with love-
ly bride and spent his honeymoon at the
Russ House. The story now goes that
he made a wager of S., 900 with his uncle
that his wife had courage enough to I'M
dertake a journey about the world with
out either of them having any money or
luggage. The condition was imposed
that not more than two years should be
occupied in the trip, and that the travel
ers must not receive any help from
friends, but must earn every cent they
get from the time Of departure until
their return. The conditions were
promptly agreed to, and as no particu-
lar preparations were necessary it was
decided to commence the long journey
at once. The friends of the bride and
groom assembled at the hotel and the
crowd was increased by number Of GU
rious spectators, so that when the last
good-byes were said and the plucky lit
tie woman and her big husband took
the first step out of doors they were
greeted by cheers from an assembIage
of several hundred people. They bowed
their thanks, and trudging along were

BAYARD At A BANQUET.
He Responds to sour Friends Across

LONDON, December 1S.-United States
Ambassador Bayard was guest this eve
ming at a dinner in behalf OF the actors
benevolent fund. and responded to a toast
which was warmly given by Comyns Carr,
the art critic-"Our Friends Across the
Sea-" The toast was received standing,
and with loud cheers.
Mr. Bayard was enthusiastically re-
ceived. He said that they stood on COM
mon ground. There was no sea between
them. He was affected by the remarks
of Mr.. Carr. who had spoken Of the i'm
possibility Of certain divisions. He thank
ed God that there were some things that
could not be divided. Never was there a
Judgment which so affected the hearts and
and true mothers met TO decide the fate
OF child. and it was proposed that the
child be put 10 death to decide the owner
ship. 1t could not be. The heart Of hu-
manity rang out when ii said: Let the
child live" 1t could not be. loud
cheers)
There were children of brain and of
heart; there were children born of com
mon ancestry, common language. They
could not be permitted TO die because of
false parentage. Cheers.)
He was glad to accept and answer for
the phrase kindred beyond the sea" He
could answer for his and their kindred
beyond the sea.
Referring to the object Of the actors
fund, he said the expression kindred be-
yond the sea- was first. 10 his knowledge
used by Mr. Gladstone. who added the
quotation when love unites," etc. The
time was seasonable to repeat those
words. (Cheers) No profession better
than theirs could speak them. and in the
name of his country, speaking to theirs,
he asked them to join him In wishing
that hands might be clasped across the
spreading main. loud cheers)

DANIEL on THE MESSAGE.
"President CIeveIand's Foremost De-
Iivernnce"-"AbOv Criticism.v


LYNCHBURG. VA, December ls-
Senator Daniel. who is a member Of the
Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs, was
seen by a reporter of the News to-day
and asked what he thought of the Prssi-
dents message. He said with great ear
nestness:
at is a grand message ! am delighted
with It, II will be hailed all over the
country with JOY as a clear. manly ut
trance of the. great American doctrine
of Monroe: and all over the world IL will
be received and respected as t'e ultima
tum of the great western republic that
will have no ifs and ands' to stand
in the way Of its manifest duty and its
manifest destiny.
"As a state paper the message is above
criticism in its temper, style, and tone.
as well as in itS historic recitals and its
logical conclusions. 1t will rank as the
foremost deliverance Of President Clsve-
land.
1.-THE Democratic party will stand as
one man at his back, and the South will
stand as one man at his back. also.
But IL is question above party ana
above section. All parties and all Sec
tons will be as united TO support the
Prssident-and even more united than
were the Colonies in the Revolutionary
war in the support Of Washington ana
Great Britain will understand now and
forever that the Unitea States is not to
be triied with; and II hsr statesmen
are so shortsighted as to precipitate war.
they will be as sternly rebuked as when
George III; was taught lesson by the
Continentals.
'Tn short. I am happy over the
message" said the Senator. in conclusion
1T places this country Just where II be
iongs-at the head of the nations"
1t may be remembered thar Senator
Daniel. in an address at Michigan Uni
versity last spring expound d the Mon
roe doctrine. In that address he took the
precise grounds that the President has
set forth in his message.
