A Partisan Discovery.

All Paris just now, according to The
Journal is focking to 20 Rue Raw
gnan, Montmartre, where few days
ago, most remarkable discovery was
made. In this neighborhood are the
ruins of the ancient monastery of the
Benedictines and other old buildings
used by the brothers, most of which are
also giving way to the ravages of time.
At 90 Rue Ravignan Nine. Berthelot
keeps a grocery store. She sleeps in a
small chamber in the rear, that at one
time was probably used as an oratory.
Nine. Berthelot, noticing that the tiles
on the floor of the chamber gave forth q
hollow sound as she stepped upon them,
and thinking that cellar there would
be very convenient for her business, sent
for mason and had the tiles removed.
A flight of stone steps was revealed.
leading into labyrinth of passages.
The authorities have now taken posses
sion Of the place. and systematic in
vestigation is being conducted. Many
relics have been found, and it is believ.
ed that much light is likely to be
thrown upon the history of Paris dur.
ing the fourteenth century

A Prophecies COMPOUNDED.

One Of the most diverting tales told
in connection with the art of anagram
making relates to certain Dame Elean-
or Davies, wife of Sir Joshua Davies,
says writer in Lippincott's Magazine.
She lived in the time of Charles | and
was a constant croaker and foreteller Of
evil. AT length she made herself so OBJ
noxious to the government that she was
cited to appear before the court of high
commission. She fancied that she was
gifted with prophetic powers, because
the letters Of Eleanor Davies formed the
anagram Reveal, o Daniel" This was
not good anagram, as it used the az"
twice and did not employ the IS" at all.
She resisted all the efforts Of the
bishops to bring her to reason, but was
at last entirely defeated by witty
dean, who hoisted her with her own
petard by making another anagram, not
so complimentary to her prophetic in
sight, Dame Eleanor Davies-never
SO mad ladieW This caused her to
doubt the reality of her own inspiration,
and so utterly disconnected her that no
more was heard of her

Bret Harte's Overland" Enemy.

In The Atlantic Monthly Mr.. Charles
Warren Stoddard, describing the ap-
pearance of Bret Harte's 1.-The Luck Of
Roaring Camp" explains the story of
the woman who was opposed to its pub
LEGATION. There have been many render
ings of this incident. Mr. Stoddard g
version is unquestionably the correct
one.
In the August number of The Over
land Monthly (1S6S) appeared 1.-The
Luck of Roaring Camp" If Mr.. Harte
had been in doubt as to his vocation be-
fore, that doubt was now dispelled for
ever. Never was more emphatic or
unquestionable literary success That
success began in the composing room,
when female compositor revolted at
the unaccustomed combination of men
tai force, virility and originality. No
doubt it was all very sudden and unex-
pected. 1t shook the editorial and com
posing rooms, the business office and q
limited number of worthy people who
had seen 1.-THE Luck" in manuscript as
they had never been shaken save by the
notorious Californian earthquake. The
climax was precipitated when the justly
indignant editor, whose motives, liter
airy Judgment and good taste had been
impeached, declared that 1.-The Luck Of
Roaring Camp" should appear in the
very next number of The Overland
Monthly or he would resign his office.
Wisdom finally prevailed, the article
appeared, The Overland's success was
assured, and its editor was famous.

Japanese Connection.

Mr.. George G. Perkins is uneasy be-
cause of the competition of Japan and
gives his reasons in The Overland
Monthly:
Japan has an unlimited supply Of
cheap coal and cheap labor 1t has al
ready demonstrated it's ability to COM
pete with Europe and America by in
vading the home markets of those coun-
tries. 1t has the best machinery which
the world has up to this time produced
and can manufacture as much more as
it needs. The initiative faculty of the
race is unquestioned and unrivaled, and
its originality is becoming acknowl-
edged. 1t recognizes such educational
defects as it possesses and with charac-
teristic energy and conscientiousness is
setting about to gain such knowledge as
is necessary to bring its people to the
highest state of industrial efficiency.
Chemistry was formerly practically an
unknown science in Japan. Now the
japanese export chemicals to America.
Physics and mathematics will be studied
with similar practical results, and most
Americans now living will undoubtedly
see Japan with a modern civilization,
as far as its industries are concerned,
but with people still japanese in char
acter and tastes, who manufacture goods
for foreign markets, as do the English,
and who no more desire to supply their
needs with English, French or American
productions than we do to supply ours
with those of China, Japan or India.

GRANT ROUGHS IT.
Hs Slept In . Pigpen After the Battle -
the wilderness.


The general and staff bivouacked upon
the ground. The night was quite chilly.
and couple of fires were lighted to add
TO our comfort. General Grant lay down
with his officers beside one OF the fires
without any covering When asleep. an
aid quietly spread an overcoat over
him. For about four hours we all kept
turning over every few minutes SO as to
get warmed on both sides. initiating
with our bodies the diurnal motion OF
the earth as 1t exposes its sides alter
nately to the heat of the sun. When
daylight broke ii was seen that low
board structure close to which the gen.
eral in chief had lain down was a pig
pen, but its former occupants had dis
appeared and were probably at that time
nourishing the stomachs Of the cavalry
troopers of the invading army. Unfor-
tunately the odors Of the place had not
taken their departure with the pigs, but
remained to add to the discomfort OF the
bivouackers Sheridan's cavalry had
had fight at this place the afternoon
before. in which he had defeated the
opposing force, and the ground in the
vicinity, strewn with the dead, offered
ample evidence of the severity Of the
struggle.
At daylight on the morning OF the
9th active operations were in progress
throughout the columns General Sheri-
dan had ordered his cavalry to move by
different roads TO seize the bridges cross
ing the Pc river. General Meade modi-
fed these orders and directed a portion
of the cavalry to move in front of War
ren's infantry on the Spottsylvania
Court House road. The enemy were fell
ing trees and placing other obstacles in
the way in order to impede the move
ment, and the cavalry was afterward
withdrawn and the infantry directed to
open the way.
About sunrise General Grant, after
taking off his coat and shaking it to rid
it Of some of the dust in which he had
lain down. shared with the staff officers
some soldiers rations and then seated
himself on the ground by the roadside
to take his morning smoke. General

English Administrator of Jamaica.

The English administration of ia.
maica is thing to be thankful for.
There are law and order, excellent
roads, comfortable houses, adequate po-
lice, lawn tennis and cricket, plenty of
manly, oompanionable English army
and navy officers and governor who is
strong, able and genial. At the same
time it would be folly to maintain that
the island is producing a tenth part of
the wealth that is latent in soil and
atmosphere, or that most of the wealth
that is beginning to make its ap-
pearance is due TO anything so much
as to the American enterprise and cap
ital which are opening up railways
and cultivating fruits. Another serious
fact, though not necessarily an unwel-
come one, is that the islands 1000
square miles contain a population Of
600, 600 persons, 30, 600 of whom are
white. -Julian Hawthorne in Century.
