FRANKLIN'S DESK.

One of the most valuable and inter
esting pieces of furniture in Philadel-
phia is owned by DR.. Roland &. Curtin
and has a place of honor in his office,
at % South Eighteenth street. 1t is
Benjamin Franklin's desk, the very one
he used for 20 or more years, and at
which he did most of his writing, and
in which he kept most of his papers.
1t is big and broad, with fiat top
and two tiers of ample English oak
drawers and two drawers in the middle.
There are two fronts, making both sides
alike. The wood is the finest solid ma
hogany, the brasswork is handmade
and the desk was evidently intended to
last for generations. a great stack of
letters and old newspaper clippings
tell the story of the desk.
After the death Oh Dr. Franklin it
came into the possession of the we'll
known Philadelphia exchange brokers.
One letter is very curious. 1t is from
Rev. Edwin Town, to whose uncle it
was bequeathed by Mr.. Whelen That
letter Is to William Bradford, Il member
of councils in 1857, after the desk was
placed in independence hall and attract
ed great attention. In it, after explod-
ing the theory that DR.. Franklin and
Mr.. Whelen had private transactions
which led to the possession of the desk
Mr.. Town says: Il shall continue to be-
lieve, rs | have for the last 40 years.
that the desk was absolutely the proper,
ty of DR.. Franklin and that Mr. Whelen-
Sr., came into possession fit either be-
fore the doctors death or soon after
when part ofhis effects were disposed
of, including the old desk which Joseph
Carr, formerly of Bartrams garden
the errand boy of DR.. Franklin at the
time Of his death Q79O), is positive he
remembers as occupying place in the
chamber on the right OF the entrance
hall of the doctors mansion, which
stood at that day on the ground now
occupied by Franklin place
DR.. Curtin got the desk from one OF
the present members of the Town fam
lily. 1t has been estimated that it may
bel5O years old.-HHudelpha Times.

CALLS WELL THAT ENDS
WE'LL"

-Four nights in a week and once on
Sundays and Lancelot Gewgaw been
paying his attentions to the pretty
Syrasella Floordelee, and there was
yet quite a long pay roll before him.
But in all that time he had not
thought to say the thing that would
have made min happy. Syrasella
was beautiful being. Her hair was
so raven black that it left mark OH
every thing white, which is why
I.ancelot always wore colorcd gentle
mans furnishing goods. Her eyes
were like twin comets, rushing through
space at each other, and she has many
beautiful teeth. Altogether she had
the proper assortment of attractions
calculated to make her face thing of
beauty.
Lancelot was not chump, although
he wasn't saying thing to her. He
was simply lacking in assurance. He
was book agent, but that was his
profession. His almost human ears
hung on either side of his head, taste
fully covered over with real hair, and
his eyes were of the true floor-walker
variety. He was no bargain counter
attraction, but special Monday mark
down, and Syrasella knew it.
And now they were seeing leap
year out together. He had talked
about everything except the one dead
easy, hackneyed, yet never stale sub
jcct, and as the hands on the clock
chased themselves near to IL she Grew
more and more beautiful as she SEEM
cd to be nerving herself up to the
point OF saying few words herself
Suddenly the clock struck dozen
times, and with wild cry she cried
out, saying: "Lancelot, why did l
lose my chance? Leap year is gone
for for eig ht years!'
Lancelot beat at his forehead with
his clenched fist until the veins in his
neck assumed the proper shade of pur-
pie. Then, stalking across the floor,
he came. He knelt in front of the di-
vinely beautiful girl, whose hair was
making streaks over her gown. His
tone was like the best quality of hon
ey "Syrasella, forgive me-"
"Give you what?'' she murmured,
coyly, as she swept her cheeks with
her long eye-lashes. She was that neat
that she swept them every day.
"Give me your heart" he said, in
deep, wealthy tones, and as the whis-
ties sounded ushering in the new year
her tender eyes" rose above all the tu-
multi and two loving hearts gave a
faithful imitation of a dynamo working
overtime.

tepec, (Hill of the grasshopper,) a pal
ace built by Viceroy Galoez and once
occupied by Maximillian. 1t has since
been renovated as the Mexican White
House and is occupied by President
Diaz in summer. After leaving Cha
pultepec we next went to Tacubaya,
the second Monte Carlo in the world.
This is a beautiful park, laid out with
shade trees in full foliage, in the cen
tire of this park is handsome building
in which gambling devices of every
sort are in operation at all hours of the
day and night. Of course the owners
of this place pay an enormous license
for the privilege, something like thirty
or forty thousand dollars a month for
Tacubaya and Ill the gambling houses
in the city.
Sunday seems to be sort of gala
day in Mexico. All places of amuse-
ment, as we'll as places of business and
saloons, are open. On Sunday morn
ing between the hours of eleven and
one the Alemeda, large park or
promenade, seems to attract the people.
A military band plays here every Sun
day morning between the hours men,
toned, and the people turn out by the
thousand and thousand. The dresses
worn by the women in Mexico differ
greatly from those worn by the women
in the States, owing to the warm eli
mate, their dresses are made from sum-
mer goods, and it is not unusual to see
dresses for the street made from goods
of very delicate shades, cream, pale
blue, very light pink, etc. The dress
worn by men is up to date in every re-
spect. OF course these clothes are all
imported from Paris and London. The
equipages in Mexico are perfectly mag
niticent and extremely stylish, COM
pairing favorably, if not ahead of New
York. They import their carriages
and most of their horses from London.
Rapid transit is yet to come, although
they say they will have it this year.
The street cars are now pulled around
by two or three and sometimes four
small mules. The climate in the City
ranges from 7S to IS at this season.
While the city has many saloons very
few drunken people are seen on the
street. l was told that whiskey and
beer are not used to any extent, a much
milder one being the most popular.
Before leaving Mexico, on Sunday
evening We went to the bull fight, and
of all the cruel, barbarous, uncivilized
sports l am sure this exceeds them all
[ shall not enter into the details of the
fight as it is too cruel to even read OF
write about. They are compelled to
kill six bulls under the penalty of a
heavy fine 1t is the rarest occurrence
that any of the men get hurt. l felt
as though could enjoy seeing the bull
kill any of them. In the fight that we
saw six CO. bulls and eleven QD horses
were killed. The attendance on that
day was said to be over fifteen thousand.
Almost as many of the crowd were
women as men and they seemed to en-
JOY the sport with great relish, ap-
plauding tremendously when bull or
horse was killed. G.. G.. K.

THE FOLD.
When God shall ope the gates of gold,
The portals of the heavenly fold,
And bid his flock find pastures wide
Upon a new earth's green hillside,
What poor strayed sheep shall thither fare,
Black smil ched beneath the sunny air,
To wash away in living springs
The mud and mire of earthly things?
What lonely ewes with eyes fororn,
With weary feet and fleeces torn,
To whose shOrn back no wind was stayed
Nor any rough ways smooth were made;
What happy little lambs shall leap
To those sad ewes and spattered sheep,
With gamesome feet and joyful eyes,
From years Of play in Parad se!
The wird is chill, the hour is late;
Haste, Thee, dear Lord, urdO the gate.
For grim welf-sorrows pro~l and range
These bitter hills CT chance and char &c;
Aud from the barren wilderness
With homeward face Thy iocks do pres,
Their worn bells ring tangled chime
Shenherd, come forth, tits eventime.

HAVANA, June 10, via Key west-Tho report
exclusively published in THE Sun on juno B
that tho soldiers OF the Pizarro Regiment had
mutinled and killed their Lieutenant.Colon
was denied here by the press censor. The truth
OF the statement is now we'll known, and tho fol-
lowing details are the talk OF all Havana:
The Lioutcnant~Co killed was c. Ar
Ruelles, who was nearly 20 years old. A com.
mission Of one Sergeant and two soldiers, to-
pcther with the cashier OF the regiment, called
on the LieutenantNCol onel 20 tell him that tho
soldiers did not wish TO accept all their pay In
paper money.
The cashier said the only money he had was
paper. and the soldiers asserted that. according
to their information. tho money sent to the
regiment WAS 20 per cent. paper and the rest
silver. "If you have received silver with which
to pay u.s." said the sergeant to the Lieutenant
Colonel, why do you give us all paperf II you
pocket the difference we are resolved not to toll
crate II amy more"
On hearing this Lieut..Col. Arguolles became
worry angry and threatened to shoot the Ser
geant Immediately II he did not withdraw his
words. The Sergeant answered that he could
withdraw nothing, because he had said only
what he was instructed to say by the regiment.
Then the Licutenant-Co Colonel tried to raise "A
pistol from his desk, but had no time. The Ser
geant thrust his sabre into the officers body,
and when he fell to tho floor two soldiers ended
his life. The cashier fed, and the Sergeant,
running to the barracks, cried loudly:
Every body to horse. The Lieutcnant.Colone
has been killed by u.s."
About half of tho regiment mounted their
horses and took TO tho forest with the sergeant,
| where they Joined tho insurgents.
Guillermo Molina Gonzalez, a Cuban prisoner
Of war. captured about a month ago by the
Spaniards, was shot this morning at the Cabaha
Fortress.
At Cagnasal and Whales, Pinar del Rio prov
ince, tho Spanish battalion Cuba" was de-
feated by the insurgents under Vidal Ducasse
and compelled to retire with one Lieutenanta and
twenty soldiers killed and two Licutcnants and
seventeen soldiers wounded. The Lieutenants
wounded are Manuel Gallesa and Mamerto
Sanchez, noted for their cruelty.
News has been received from Madrid that the
Minister OF Colonies, Senior Castellanos, is max
ing great efforts to raise some money to pay ono
months wages to the Spanish soldiers in Cuba.
The payment will be for January last, and the
Minister admits that the wages for tho later
months cannot DO paid at present.
A conference has occurred between Canovas
and the Minister of War, Gen. Azcarraga. in
which the General told the Prime Minister that
in his opinion tho military situation was very
grave in Cuba. The Ministerial papers say that
the interview had no such Importance.
Senior De LONE has cabled to his Government
to forbid Gen. Weyler to take any further steps
against the life OF Gen. Ruis Rivera.

Executive Chairman KurtI Expects War TO He
Made Upon Hin.

COLUMBUS, O.. juno 19.-State Republican
Executive Chairman G. L. Kurtz said this
evening that 1t was evidently the intention Of
those who are representing Senator Hanna's in
terests in the State Convention at Toledo next
week to retire Kurtz from the management of
the campaign, Notwithstanding the fact that Gov.
Bushnell wishes him to act in that capacity.
He will he a candidate for Chairman, now
ever, and believes he will be elected.
He says he was assured by the Hanna
managers a month ago that they wanted
him to remain at the head OF the committee. but
their activity in controlling every Congress dis
trict can only mean they propose to elect "A new
Chairman. That will be probably Major c. w.
i. Dick of Akron.
Last year the Bushnell faction in control OF
the Central Committee. wanted Kurtz to man.
age the campaign, against the open prot est OF
Charles Minney, a Mckinley candidate, who, as
the head OF he ticket, claimed, the right by Gus
tom TO choose the Executive Chairman.
If Mr.. KurtL Is now removed and a chairman
not acceptable to Gov. Bushnell chosen, 1t will
simply be retaliation, upon the Governor. The
Hanna managers will easily control the Toledo
convention. and will no doubt turn Kurtz down.
