DEAD IN HER ROOM.
Mrs. Susie Ta1gnrt'S Corpse -Four
by Her Brother.


Mrs. Susie Taggart was found dead on the
floor OF her room at No. 467 street north
west last hight by her brother, Albert
Taggart- The suicide theory was much in
evidence, but Dr.. Bailey, who viewed tht.
body, gave it as hrs opinion that death
had resulted from apopiexy. The coroner
was notified and on the strength of the
opinion of Er. Bailey, ordered that the
, body lie removed to Lees undertaking
rooms.
So far as could be learned Las night there
was not one fact on which the theory uf
suicide could rest. There were no marks
of violence on the body and no presence of
poison about the mouth Of the corpse or
in the room.
Mrs. Taggart was forty-five years old
and a widow. She was working wO-
man .and-had lived at No. 467 / street
for several years. When her brother
Albert returned to the house last night
he entered the bedroom OF his sister and
found her body face upward stretched on

Visiting Cards.

A Paris correspondent writes to one of
the London papers: 1T appears that the
sovereigns and their families are the larg-
est consumers of visiting cards. These
convenient pieces Of pasteboard are used
In every class of the social scale, and I
have known men servants and walters to
use them. Cards are useful in paying vis-
its, and still more useful to avoid them,
and there is nothing surprising that the
total number exchanged every year in CIV
ilized countries should be estimated at
about 6OOOOO.OOO. An authority on the SUBJ
ject tells us in the French Stationer's Re-
view that the Prince Of Wales has two
sorts Of cards. On one for home use Is
written Albert Edward on the others, for
continental use. LIE Prince de Gales The
German emperor and the Emperor Of Aus
tria, according to a purely German custom,
print on their cards q part Of their nu-
merous titles. They are an exception Sow
ereigns will send cards to hundreds and to
thousands of persons every year, in fact,
to almost everybody. They are the politest
people in the world. and keep several sec
retaries to send their congratulations or re-
grets broadcast. The greater part Of Eu-
ropean royalties order their cards in Paris. y

GEN. PIERCE YOUNG.s DARING.
His Share i'm Capturing $500 Head of
Cattle.

nf
Cattle.
From rhe New York Times
some years ago the general was relating
some OF Ills experiences in the war. He
had been asked especially to tell of the
capture OF the corral of cattle, which Gen
Grant had brought together as a base of
supplies for his army, on the Chickahom-
my. In 1864. This capture was one of the
most brilliant and successful raids Of the
war, in which Gen. Young had played a
gallant and conspicuous part; but through
out the narration a casual listener would
have thought that he was relating the in
cident to show how ma magnificently Hampton
mad conducted the affair. The conception
and plan were Hampton's. 1t was arranged
that picked body of 800 cavalry under
Hampton, should sweep around to Grants
rear. capture the corral, and drive the cat
tie INTO the confederate lines while Gen
Young 81 ould hold at bay any federal
troops that might come to the support of
the corral guard. The scouts had gathered
every detail of information needed They
knew the exact location Of the cattle their
number, the number and quality of the
troops on guard, the relative position of
the great army of Grant, and how long it
would require for him to dispatch assist
ance to the guard when attacked. Hamp-
ton relied upon Young to keep back the en-
tire army, If necessary. until he could get
be driven slowly,and over fairly good coun-
try, it was necessary for Hampton to drive
them quite close to the enemys lines, MAX
ing the risk very much greater.
Everything worked smoothly until the
cattle had beeen captured. The negro
guard were soon disposed of, and the cor
raj. consisting of $500 head of cattle was
shortly being driven toward the confeder-
ate camp. TO reach the rear of the lines
Hampton and Young and all of their troops
had been in the saddle day and night, and
had ridden fifty miles almost without a
faf. Despite the fatigue of horses and
men forced march had to be made by
Hampton, while Young and his weary
cavalrymen had to face the entire federal
line and draw their fire. until the raid
Young accomplished this in most brillia Mt
style. He stretched out his 2.5OO troopers
into so long a line that it seemed as If
nothing l'ss than an army division could
occupy the space. By rushing from one
point to another considerable body Of
bis men and concentrating fire on the fed
eral advance he succeeded in keeping up
the deception. The federals expected
mcmentarily to engage the confederates in
force, and SO advanced cautiously, feeling
their way. The dashng cavalry officer
was playing Napoleonic tactics in mina-
ture. Before the army of Grant realized
that it was putting forth Its giant strength
against a handful of daring horsemen
Hampton was safe, and the spectral lines
of the grand army of confederates closed
up and galloped away, having completed
the most reckless foray of the war The

the basis of our supplies for the rest of
our campaign"

THE WELSH LANGUAGE.
Antiquity and Romance of It's Litera-
ture.

Antiquity and Romance OF It's Litera-
ture.
From the London Standard '
One Breton Investigator has affirmed thai
Weisn was the language of the Titans
while another has explicitly stated that it
was the mother tongue of Saturn, Jupiter
and the other principal gods of heather
antiquity. Upon so obscure a point we
may, perhaps. be allowed to retain our
doubts; nor are we called upon to bow
with absolute Difference to the conclusion
arrived at by a more modern Cymric schol-
ar that the scheme Of Dante's "Divina
Conmedia' is due to Celtic sources. No
one, however, would dream of contesting
that to the Cymric branch of the Celtic
race We owe the origin of the Arthurian le-
gend.
We do not know whether it will be one
of the duties of the Welsh University to
endeavor to revive the real, unadulterated
Celtic literary traditions, and to purge and
purify them from the accretions due to
foreign influence. We should be DISPOSED
TO say that Celtic scholarship will be more
bsneiicially and more successfully employ
ed IN collecting the indications Of the in
iuence exercised by the Celtic spirit over
the English language, English romance
and English ways of thought during the
very period when it was supposed to have
OSSii iCpiCSSeu, IL uOl WHOLLY Q6StrOVe1.
Criticism, too, will have abundant work OH
Its hands in seeking to separate the au-
tnentic form the spurious in the alleged
writings Of the earlier Welsh bards.
In the first year Of the century there was
published the "Myvyrian Archaeology of
Wales collection of the most celebrat ted
works in Welsh literature from A. d. 800
to A. d. 400, under the editorship Of Mr.
Jones, Mr.. Edward Williams, known local
ly as Edward of Glamorgan," and DIR.
Owen Pugh. But though seventy-seven
poems are there ascribed to Taliesin, Mr.
Stephens considers that fifty-seven of them
are demonstrably spurious, and that only
twelve Of them are probably genuine-that
is to say, belong to the age to which they
are attributed. Few scholars, however,
would be prepared to challenge the asser-
tion of Renan that the sixth century was
the golden age of Cymric literature, though
its first epoch is usually taken to start from
still remoter times, and to extend to the
date of the Norman conquest. But it is
not till the Chronicle of Caradoc, some
what dry record, recalling in its general
scheme the more famous Anglo-Saxun
Chronicle: To the same period belongs the
chronicle of Geoffrey of Monmouth. But,
as, though a Welshman by birth, the Bisn-
op of St. Asa1h elected to write in Latin,
We presume that his labOrs, however in
teresting and important, would not be
claimed by true Welshmen as portion Of
Celtic literature.

A Gorgeous Ball Dress.
The prettiest ball gown have seen as yet
was sufficiently magnificent for a duchess.
1t was corn-colored yellow satin. with a
skirt almost entrain and little fit to dance
In. 1t was richly embroidered with pearls.
there were wide lapels of the yellow satin
over an antique corsage, and from the
square decolletage depended a fall of gold
lace, knotted with fresh roses 1t made
you think of "barbaric pearls and gold.'
So did the great gold girdle worn by slen-
der woman over princess gown Of pale
yellow-a girdle which was really two
girdles, one running fairly straight about
the waist. the other dropping in front in
Theodore fashion and bearing huge pen
dule of gold The whole affair had a splen-
didly heavy look.
There are many clever women whips seen
In Saratoga. clad usually in garments rather
Parls1an than British, after the New port
fashion, and this fact makes the carriage
parade 1:ner as pageant than anything
seen IN the city by the sea, and gayer even
than the severely correct costuming O. the
autumn coaching parades in New York.
A strong favorite among the carriage wo-
men IS the carriage cape, and its chosen
color Is apt to be fawn or a warm gray 5yith
a tinge of red in it,
There is almost no horseback riding in
Saratoga. There is less bicycling than one
