MYSTERIES OF THE LOUVRE.
Vague Stories of Imperial Crime Reach
 the Outside World.


 the Outside World.
 Everyone who has done" the Louvre will remember the low-pitched and somewhat gloomy halls in which are stored the treasures of Egypt. Beneath these lie yet more darl>ly mysterious vaults, inaccessible to the public. though approached by a wide and hand some staircase, such as would lead one to imagine that it communicated with apartments of some importance. Yet one finds at the bottom nothing but broad passages disposed in the form of cross, and without any sign what ever of door or window.
 A recent exarairaticH, however. of the solid walls g:res experts reason to believe that the masonry Is more recent than the rest of the structure in this. the oldest portion Of the fortress pal ace. Nj Naugneux, q well-,-nown critic. believes that many of the bodies Of victims killed in taie revolution 6i 163a were immured here, and that the gov ernment was afraid to reveal the facts
 
 were collected beneath the Coionne de .Iuiiiet.
 On the other hand, NJ. Blondel, tie architect of the building, and M Nor mand. the secretary of the Society fer Protecting Parisian Monuments, hold the opinion that these suhterranean passages led to the oubliettes into which Catherine de Medicis cast those who were unfortunate enough to incur her hate or fear. A judiclous expIora tion would clear up the matter, and settle, too, several doubtful points as to the foundations of Lescot's original citadel. Unfortunately, the annual grant does not provide for any such archaeological research. and it would be necessary to appeal for funds to the generosity of the chamber.-London Chronicle

Invention Of the Locomotive whistle.


When locomotives we're first built and
began to trundle their small loads up
and down the newly and rudely con-
structed railways of England, the public
roads were, for the greater part, crossed
at grade, and the engine driver had no
way of giving warning of his approach
except by blowing tin horn. But this,
as may be imagined, was far from being
q sufficient warning. One day, in the
year 1888, so runs story Of the origin
of the locomotive whistle, Q farmer Of
Thornton was crossing the railway track
on one of the country roads with great
load OF eggs and butter. just as he came
out upon the track train approached
The engine man blew his tin horn Justify
but the farmer did not hear it. Eighty
dozen of eggs and fifty pounds Of butter
were smashed into an indistinguishable,
unpleasant mass, and mingled with the
kindling wood to which the wagon was
reduced. The railway company had to
pay the farmer the value of his fifty
pounds of butter, his $50 eggs, his horse
and his wagon. 1t was regarded as a
very serious matter, and strsightway
a director of the company went to Alton
Grange, where George Stephenson lived
to see if he could not invent something
that would give a warning more likely
to be heard. Stephenson went to work,
and the next day had q continuance
which, when attached to the engine
boiler and the steam turned on, gave out
a shrill, discordant sound. The railway
directors, greatly delighted, ordered

months on the reservation, and visited
most Of the old fellows who were so
unruly when l knew them first. There
are not many of them left, and the man
who was the worst of the lot-at least
the most dsngerous-in 1876 is now a
very decent sort Of man. RaiE-in-the-
Face is getting along in years, but he
is sturdy enough yet He is rather
proud of his position as a policeman, for
that is about all the honor that an
Indian sttsins TO on the reservation now,
since there are no more chiefs. The old
fellow spends much Of his time in the
saddle, and his duties fortunately require
this. He cannot get about much on foot,
for his right leg is bent at sharp angle
at the knee and is quite stiff. He cannot
walk without the aid of crutohes. In
the saddle he looks and probably feels
about as sound as ever.

ORIGIN OF THE DAY.
on September g. 1882. the various or
ganizations of New York city paraded the
streets Of that city. and afterwards held
a picnic. where addresses were delivered.
Again In 1883, the organizations paraded
on September 1st. when. in 1884, the Cen
trail Labor Union OF New York had the
question OF parading up for discussion,
George X. Lloyd, a knight OF Labor
offered resolution, declaring the first
Monday in September to be Labor-Day.
The resolution was adopted and steps
were at once taken TO have the Legisla-
ture to enact law making the first
Monday In September a legal holiday.
The agitation begun in New York rapidly
extended to other States. with the result
that Congress. two sessions ago, made tne
day a national holiday.
The real significance OF Labor-Day lies
in the fact that on that day 10 question
OF local Importance, no strike, no con-
troversy. or dispute shall interfere with
the observance Of the day on that day
the wage-earners meet and either parade
or hold festivals of another character
during which time speakers address the
assembled multitudes.

The News of Fulton.

Il Is claimed that Republican-Chair-
man Hart, Of Marshall Ward, Is having
enough work Just now TO prevent dis
content breaking out in his party in this
section. At the Tuesday night meeting
Of the Republicans, in Donahue's Hall,
on Louisiana street, there seems TO nave
been some misunderstanding in regard
to Alderman Bahen speaking. One OF
the papers reported that Mr.. Bahen had
been requested to speak. but when ne
was called upon Mr.. Hart as chairman,
at the same instant, declared the meet
ing adjourned. which, of course, made
II appear that the Alderman was ignored.
Mr. Hart disclaims the truth Of any
such statement OF this sort, saying thar
not only did he want Mr.. Bahen to speak,
but for some unaccountable reason he
was prevented from so doing.
