That Refen Edwin Booth.
With the winter Bayard Taylor ce..4e
on from his home in Kennett and took
an apartment in East Twelfth street, and
once week Mrs. Taylor and he receiv-
ed all their friends there, with a simple
and charming hospitality. There was
another house which was much resorted
to-the house Of James Lorrimer Gra-
ham, afterward Consul-General at Flor
ence. where he died. had made his ac-
quaintance at Venice three years before,
and came in for my share Of that love
for literary men which all their perversi-
ties could not extinguish in him. 1t was
a veritable passion, which I used to
think he could not have felt If he had
been literary man himself. There were
delightful dinners at his house, where the
wit Of the Stoddards shone, and Taylor
beamed with good-fellowship and over
flowed with invention; and Huntington,
long Paris correspondent Of the Tribune,
humorously tried to talk himself into the
resolution Of spending the rest Of his life
in his own country. There was one even
ing when c. P. Cranch, always Of most
pensive presence and aspect, sang the
most killingly comic songs; and there
was another evening when, after we all
went into the library, something tragical
happened. Edwin Booth was one of our
number, a gentle, rather silent person in
company, or with at least little social
initiative, who, as his fate would, went
UP to the cast of a huge hand that lay
upon one the shelves. Whose hand is
this. Lor: p" he asked our host, as he

this?" men there was nothing for Gra-
ham but TO say, Its Lincoln's hand"
and the man for whom it meant such un-
speakable things put 1t softly down with
out a Word.-W. D. HoWells, in Har-

Anecdotes of Napoleon.

There is one unpleasant feature about
dying" said Talleyrand; "one cannot
read ones obituaries. l should like very
much to read my obituaries"
so should l." returned Bonaparte,
dryly; hurry up and die, will you?"
II think / shall write my autobiogra-
ply" said Fouche one morning to the
Emperor.
II wouldn't if I were you" said Napo-
leon: "yoI know yourself too WELL and
if you told the truth it would ruin your
reputa tion."
Napoleon was superstitIous, and used
to enjoy telling his fortune with the
cards. At one time he drew three cards
from the pack; two Of them were two
spots and one Of them was king.
'Humph!" he said. II seem to be rails
ing the deuce, rather than a dynasty, by
two to one"
At St. Helena Napoleon was asked
what he would have done had he defeated
Wellington at Waterloo.
II should have smlied,' replied the
fallen Emperor.

your names?"
Paul" said the boy.
And the other?"

What? Only one name for both Of
you?" asked Napoleon.
I'm only one boy" returned the lad
why, you surprise me-" said the En-
peror, with a laugh. you are SO heavy
I thought you were twins"
''I really never loved but one woman"
said Bonaparte.
WHAT" said Bourrienne, with
doubtful smile.
AT one time" replied the Emperor
Prussia shall never wear your collar"
cried the Frussian King.
1T will feel my cuffs however" retort-
ed Bonaparte, "and, what will be more
ridiculous, it will get them in the neck"
What is the matter, Bourrienne?"

quickly: "I'll invade Russia. That will
provide you with two more chapters,

A Highwayman's Tracks.

big Foot Andrews was the hardest
man l ever saw to track said an up
country sheriff recently. He left tracks
enough, for he had a foot IA inches long,
but he had way Of mixing up his tracks
so that we never could tell which way
he was going.
Nobody but the stage drivers and
passengers on the coaches ever saw Big
Foot, and then he was always behind a
Winchester. AS soon as we would receive
word that a stage had been held up we
would strike out for the scene Of the rob-
berry. and there we would find the big
tracks that told us who the perpetrator
was, but the tracks would not indicate
the direction he took. We always found
his trails accurately retraced step by
step, and by the time we would get
things Strengthened out he would be out
Of the country.
Every officer in the northern part Of
the State was on the lookout for the rob-
Der, and every man with big feet was
under suspicion, but no one could get so
much as glimpse Of him. Finally I
hired two Wylackie Indian trailers, who
could follow cat track over the widest
country, but they could make nothing
OIL big ROOT s trail. IuSy WOulQ run
awhile in one direction, then try the track
the other way awhile, and finally gave
it up in disgust.
Like all criminals, however, he came
to grief. Notwithstanding all of his cum
ming, he was finally captured. One day
l saw q natty little stranger Of effemi-
nate manners and appearance drop the
wrapper from a roll of silver. I mechan-
ically picked it up, and Immediately iden-
titled it as having been on the coin taken
from the express bo- at the last robbery
I Immediately sized up the strangers
feet, but he wore a No. lady's button
shoe. l asked him where he got the sill
yer. and he became SO confused that I
took him in custody. When l searched
his trunk at the hotel found Win
chester rifle, mask, slouch hat, and a
pair OF No. IL boots with heels on each
end. The mystery Of Big Foots tracks
was cleared up then."-San Francisco

Tor them the only sensational incidenr OF
the day took place. Mr.. Spencer asked
permission to recall Mrs. Jones for few
minutes, which was granted, and, after
asking her one or two unimportant ques-
lions, suddenly announced: MRS.
Jones, l will now ask you question for
the purpose of impeachment. Did you
not, on the night of the shooting. at a
restaurant, in the presence of Annie
Anderson, tell Errington that your hus-
band would shoot him ON sight?"
Mrs. Jones was taken by surprise at
the suddenness of the question and the
manner in which it was asked, but she
quickly recovered herself, and as the at
torney had raised bis voice in asking the
question, she replied in a slightly higher
key than usual, II never did. I never
mentioned any names in connection with
the shooting. I oniy said to Errington
in general way that be might get shot.
And this was:the only admission thatlthe
woman would make, she being excused
In a few minutes.
Another diversion was caused by the
attorneys for the defense demanding that
some action be taken by the court to Sc
cure certain papers and photographs TAX
on the night of his arrest. They claimed
that among the letters was a note that
was very important to the defense. and
they wished to show that the photograph
which it was stated was that OF Mrs. Jones
was picture OF his (Errington's) sister.
Mr.. Spencer said that much had been
made of this fact that Errington was
carrying around the picture of Mrs.
Jones, and they wanted the photograph
to show that it was not true.

OF any letters or pictures and did not
know how they could he got. Deputy
