Warton, of course, is not a man " VIC

reateship is only an amusing episode at
the end of his career. His real wo!N
was historical and critical. ana hao
nothing to do with the annual turning
out of mechanical odes. But there Is
some entertainment about Laurea'e
Warrior. To begin with, Wartoh nuu

before he actually possessed II. when
George lis foolish son, the prince u
Wales, died in 1851, Warton broke out
into metrical cant about nation
tears, the fact being that the nation oio
not shed, or affect to shed. the most per-
functory tear on this particular &C.
casiOn. There was a rhymster VIM
knew far better what the nati"n
thought.
Here lies Prince Fred.
Who was alive and is dead;
Had it been his father,
/ had much rather;
Had it been his brother,
Sooner than any other:
Had it been his sister,
There's no one would have missed her;
Had it been the whole generation,
Best of all for the nation;
But since it's only Fred.
There's no more to be said.
The writer of these lines never be-
came poet laureate.
Warrior, however, did, and he is ready
to afford us another few minutes dl-
version. The "Rolliad" is not much re-
membered now and it hardly has much
claim on remembrance. But more than
100 years ago, when Whitehead died. 1t
gained for itself very fair share OF
popularity. Its authors produced a
series of mock odes, supposed to be
written by possible candidates for the
laureateship. They thus prefaced their
work:
I'm order to administer strict and I'M
partial justice to the numerous candi-
dates for the vacant poet laureateship,
many of whom are of illustrious birth
| and high character. notice Is hereby
| given that the same form will be at
tended to in receiving the names Of the
said candidates, which is invariably
observed in registering the court dane
ers. Each candidate Is ex-
pected to deliver a probationary
birthday ode, with his name, and also
| persOnally tn annear on a future day to
recite the same before such literary
judges as the lord chamberlain, in his
wisdom, may appoint"

written by ID. II. Jennings, the man VINO
proposed her for membership in the
Grand Army: Mrs. Brownell was tall.
rather dark and quite slender. showing
her Scotch ancestry in her face. Her
hair, which was straight, hung flowing
to little below her shoulders, and was
tied plainly back with blue ribbon.
Her uniform was blue flannel blouse
and rather full skirt, falling almost to
her ankles. She always wore her Dcit

kady was there with her cOlors. She
was located Oh slight eminence. ana
the flag she so jealously guarded formed
definite rallying point for the men as
the skirmish deepened into general
engagement. Shells screamed through
the air like bowling fiends, but kady
stood by her colors." After the war
Mrs. Brownell and her husband re-
turned to Rhode Island. He went into
politics and finally Grifted to this CITY,
where he was in the employ OF the de-
partment of public works. A year ago,
he says, he went out of office to make
room for Tammany man. Mrs. Brow
nell's application for the position was
supported by a letter from Gen. Burn
side, written In 1863, in which he SAID:
Mrs. Brownell was with my command
during the campaign In North Carolina,
and by her service on the battlefield OF

PROOF AGAINST BULLETS.

Mexico dispatch to the San Francis
co Examiner: The remarkable case
Of a patient in the San Pablo
hospital is attracting attention all
over the world. The man was
condemned to death some weeks
ago in the state of Guanajuato for steal
ing a large can of kerosene oil. Why
SO severe penalty was imposed for so
trif1ing an offense is not stated. When
the day of execution arrived he was
led out into the suburbs and placed be-
fore brick wall. A squad of state
troops was stationed a few PAGES OIL.
At the word Fire." they poured a vol
ley into the poor unfortunate. Then
two soldiers advanced until they were
standing just over his PROSTATE figure,
and in this position with their revolv-
ers they tried to fire more bullets into
the mans brain. The soldiers returned
to the garrison, leaving the body to be
called for by the prison wagon. When
they were we'll out of sight the man
who had been shot struggled to his feet
and, gaining strength from fear, fled.
He turned mis- face toward this city
and tramped on and on through his long
journey till he reached the capital. Here
he was admitted to the San Pablo hos
pital. where he finally told his story

the authorities Of Guanajuato to have
their ex-prisoner restored to them that
they might make another effort to vim

oner himself pleads to be kept in the
capital. He contends that his health
has been SO impaired of late that his
constitution would not support another
execution. He urges, moreover. that
though he may be getting well again in
Mexico city, as far as Guanaiuato is
concerned he is to all intents and mr..

views.
