alton.
Historic Memorials.

In it's results the most important bat
tie fought since Waterloo was that of
Sedan. By it imperialism was brought
to an end in France; the third republic,
which still endures and prospers, was
proclaimed; the federation of the Ger
man provinces was effected, and King
William of Prussia became the ruler of
united German empire. The battle
Of Sedan, fought September 1, 1870
virtually ended the war, which the
third Napoleon had foolishly declared
against Prussia, and on the battle field
Napoleon himself surrendered his
sword to the Prussian king.
Since that day "a years ago the bat
tie field of Sedan has greatly changed

subject of our Illustration; Mrs. Clara
Cressingham and Mrs. Frances Klock
were returned to the Assembly, while
Mrs. Angenette NJ. Peavey was elected
superintendent of public instruction
The three legislators are from the
East, Mrs. Klock being native of New
England and the others being natives
Of New York State.
Mrs. Holly was born in New York
City in 1866 and has been resident Of
Colorado about five years Previous
to her removal to the West she took an
active part in furthering the question
Of woman suffrage and was associated
in this work with Lille Devereaux
Blake and others prominent in the suf
frage movement in this State. She is
a lady of kindly impulses, liberal edu-

made intelligent study and the Colora-

far the three women legislators of Col

pain producing complaints, and had
tried various remedies without effect
ing a cure. About q month ago he was
attacked simultaneously with both Of
his old enemies. Unable to bear the
af1iction, he went into his yard, picked
up a small stick, and approaching a
bee hive, stirred up the little honey
makers. AS they came angrily forth in
search of their tormentor the man
placed his cheek against the hole in tho
hive where they had their exit. He
was stung in half a dozen places. Al
though the pain was almost unenduca-
BILE, he changed his position and allow
ed them to sting him on the other side
of the face. He has not suffered from
his old affliction since, and he believes
his recovery is due to the treatment he
subjected himself to.

The last few months have been es-
pecially productive of vast fortunes left
to walters, sewer-builders, bakers and
others, but we believe that the crop Of
heirs is exhausted. The discovery Of
the grandson Of King George Nv. has
turned the tide in new direction, and
we confidently expect to have nephews
of Franklin, grand-cousins Of Wash
ington, nieces of Robert Bruce and di-
rect descendants of Adam spring at us
from every Geographic dispatch. There
is new and unworked field in this de-
scendant business that will make the
fortune Of some bright newspaper cor
respondent.

The friends Of the feud-sundered
Astors guard that silence which will not
stand in the way of future invitations
to dinner. Ward McAllister is positive
~ painful in the apoplectic politeness
which he wraps around his inability to
say anything. Elbridge T. Gerry teeters
in his endeavor to stand straight be-
tween the Jacks and the WaldOrfs.
From Society, nothing on the quarrel
itself, but from Mrs. Paran Stevens
came something lurid "On the Right of
Rich People to Have Row in the
Family" Always original, "Aunty
Paran" declares that the sacred right of
a ruction shall be as free to an Astor as
to Mulberry Bend. If two ladies Of the
latter may row over (which owns the
clothes-line," why not two Mrs. Astors
or two Mr.. Astors over equally petty
things? Why, indeed? But here Mrs.
Stevens is at fault. She would not al
low ''the rabble" to enjoy the Astor row,
much less to shudder at it's unseemli-
ness; whereas the real delight in the
tenement row, which Mrs. Stevens so
keenly appreciates, is that assistance
and comment which the neighbors,
craning out of the tenement windows,
bcstow upon it. Mrs. Stevens evidently
wants Society's interest in the Aston
vendetta to be q class affair, or con-
fined to experts in domestic difficulties.
Unfortunately the tenements of the AS
tors are in view Of the whole world and
people will look ON, and comment and
shudder as freely as if Fifth avenue
was Cherry Hill. The higher the tene-
ment the bigger the audience, Mrs.
Stevens.

superstitious, asked the count, "as
really to believe that two more will be
broken?" II know it." "Then let us
get it off our minds" And, taking two
of the cups by the handles, he dashed
them together. The anger and dismay
Of the countess proved conclusively
that she had not seriously held to her
superstition. It also loosed any hold
the absurd idea may have had on the
minds Of the children.

What was the greatest height of ava
rice ever dreamed Of by man? Did ever
philanthropist estimate the amount of
money with which he could set right all
the wrongs Of the world? What is
''princely fortune?' Or, to go further,
what is imperial wealth? Make up
your figures, grasp for an instant at the
enormity Of them, and then try to con-
ceive the vastness Of the store of
wealth which Observation-Disclosures state
ments give to Moukden, the capital of
Marchuria, and sacred city Of the
Manchus.
NIoukden, even by the time this APP
pears in print, may have fallen into the
hands Of the Japanese army, command
ed by Count Yamagata. And the i'm
perial treasure is estimated at 1,2OO,-
100000 taels The value Of a tael is
about $3.50 of our money-sometimes
more. This would place the imperial
hoard at nearly two billion of dollars!
There can be little error in these cal
culations, say those best versed in mat
tiers concerning the Chinese govern
ment. 1t is well known that for at
least 200 years past the reigning Chi
nese Emperor has sent an annual con-
signment of 100000 taels to Moukden
to be stored.

CARPET Weaving.

It was in France that the first serious
effort was made to establish the manu-
facture Of carpets in the fashion of the
Orient. This was in the reign of
Louis XIV. and under the direction OF
his Minister Colbert. The royal manu-
factories were designed to furnish all
manner of furniture, and in the CODE
Inns and Beauvais factories $50 master
weavers wove rich tapestries. During
the revolution of 1889 these factories
were almost suppressed, but Napo-
leon I. revived the manufactures and
furnished his palaces with their
loom work. The national workshops
Of France still continue, and the
woven stuffs of Gobelins, Beauvais,
among the finest in Europe. The
knowledge Of carpet weaving was pre-
sumably introduced into England
from France. During the persecution
of the Huguenots the carpet weavers
with other artistic craftsmen, fled Tor
refuge to England, and established
themselves in various towns. Amin
ster, in Devonshire, was one Of these,
and also the town of Wilton. These
places retained their supremacy for o
long time, but with the introduction
Of the jacquard loom and various I'M
proved processes of manufacture, tneI
industry was successfully developed
in Kidderminster, Durham, Kilmar-
mock, and Glasgow.-Good Words

LEVEL OF THE GULF RISING.
1t Is Now One Foot Higher than 1t
Was in 1850.

Was in 1859.
According to the engineers Of the
photographic bureau, the level of the
Gulf of Mexico is one foot higher than
it was in 1850, and, of course, the en-
croachment on the surrounding coasts
has been greater or less, depending on
their character. In some places, where
the marginal lands are composed of
some high, rocky bluffs, this change of
level has gone on from year to year
without attracting attention. On the
other hand, many low-lying points
(some that were once inhabited by the
primitive inhabitants or by the pioneer
white settlers) are entirely submerged.
The cause of this change of level has
NOT as yet been ascertained, but it is
reasonably certain that it is the result
Of either settling Of the dry land or Of
general and uniform rising or up-
heaval in the gulf bed. On the contrary.
there isn't the least doubt but that
there Is much less However this NAV
be, if this aqueous encroachment is
steadily maintained, Keokuk will be a
deep water harbor and st. Louis and
the whole Of Missouri will be entirely
submerged in less than 10000 years
from Jan. /, 1895.

Doubtless much of the Chinese EN-
peror's panic over the successes of the
army marching upon Moukden is caus-
ed by frantic fear that this enormous
fortune will be taken from him, and
reduce him, no matter what the final
outcome Of the war may be, to compar-
ative beggary! 1t is reported that the
treasure has already been, secretly re-
moved from the palace to less imper-
illed hiding place. If the treasure has
been taken outside the walls of Monk
den-Which is extremely improbable
it cannot have been carried far. In
the present anarchic condition Of Man
churia it would be as we'll to leave the
vast treasure for the Japanese victors
as to expose it to pillage by the turbu-
lent Manchurians.
Should the imperial treasure of Mouk-
den fall into the hands Of the Japanese
would it belong to the latter govern
ment? Most assuredly, and the only
civilized power that would be liable to
make even an attempt at a protest
would be England. Should England
interfere to prevent this splendid loot
by Count Yamagata's army, the jap
anese, who have a passion for history
would sardonically inquire: "What
about India?''

, The corn crop of 1894 was not much
more than half as large as the uDpre-

estimated at 1854, $4,000 against $751;
$4,000 for that of 1889. Thus we have
