event occurred on: the 18th Of March, in
the Gard year Of his age, The deceased
belonged to an old and much respected

tokens of public sympathy that could be
forthcoming: was the immense number
of people who followed his remains to

In Wexford, on March IL, Mr.. William
Harvey, well known and much re-

confidence by his thorough rectitude

On the morning of March 10, some 20
prisoners from Mountjoy Prison were
to the Kingsbridge terminus
for conveyance to the auxiliary convict
establishment at marlborough. Their
removal was carried out in the Dublin
police vans, which were strongly guard
ed by mounted constabulary with drawn
swords, followed by several cars con-
tanning armed constables, who accom-
panied them from Kingsbridge to their
destination. The passage of the vans
and their large escort through the

surprise. The identity Of the prisoners

thirsty propensities got the better OF their
judgment and they shot him down before the
eyes OF his frightened wife. who stood on
the porch and witnessed the murder. Al the
same time another rebel, with a revolver In
MS hand, was about to shoot Mrs. stiles. but
Quantrtll stopped his doing so under threat
OF death. The widow was allowed her
liberty, but thereafter was sorely prosecuted
by sympathizers until her residence there
became absolutely unsafe. and a company OF
Union soldiers was sent from the fort at
Leavenworth to escort her and her children
to the fort for protection.
COMMISSIONED AS A SPY.
1t was not long after her admittance to the
fort before she was called to Washington by
a letter from General Lane. which was also
signed by President Abraham Lincoln. Sen
ator Marvin of Missouri and a company of
seventy-ive others were about to start for
Washington and Mrs. Stiles accompanied
them. Upon arrival there she learned that
she wac sent for to take a place in the SER
vice as a spy, and upon her acceptance she
received her instructions. In a few months
she returned to Leavenworth for her child
rem. Taking them to Washington she
placed two of them In school and took her
daughter Clara with her in the detective ser
vice OF Uncle Sam" All through the re-
bellion she was In almost constant service.
and during that time she did special work
In nineteen different states and Canada, brav-
ing the hardships of the crude methods Of
travel and the exposures to all kinds OF
weather. for love of country and hope of
ultimate revenge for the murder OF her hus-
band.
She was personally acquainted with many

girl in Lcndon," in Paris and in other great
cities of Europe, known her to be guilty of
any solecism Of speech or behavior yhat could
be described as either vulgar or sn)bbish.
Take a girl from the English middle
classes, a maiden among the French bour-
geoise, or q young Fraulein from the Burger
schaft of Germany, and transfer them sud
denly to some more exalted sphere of So
~ciety-bring them, for instance, into social
contact with royalty-in nine cases out of
ten they will render themselves supremacy
ridiculous, and will talk and behave in a
manner calculated to embarrass not only
themselves, but also those around them.
But with the American girl 1t is quite diff
ferent. She has the faculty of at once as
similating herself to her surroundings, no
matter how new or strange, to such an eX-
tent that no one would dream that she had
not been born and bred thereto, were it not
for the fact that she rarely makes any secret
about her parentage or seeks to depict 1t as
better than 1t really Is. When 1t is taken
into consideration that, in addition to this
adaptability, this absence of snobbishness,
of vulgarity and of affectation, she possesses
an education infinitely superior to the Euro
pean girl Of the middle classes, besides
beauty, piquancy, readiness of speech and
repartee, and an elegance OF carriage and
attire that Is distinctly Gaelic, it is not sur
prising that the titled foreign noble should
prefer the laughter OF the selfmade Ameri-
can to the womankind Of the British, German
or French parvenu.

readily TO their surroundings. aud the snob-
berry which is innate in the upper and
lower middle classes OF English eXudes, so
to speak, from their every pore, jarring ter
ribly upon the nerves and refinement or
their blueblooded husbands, their relatives
and acquaintances. Their heads are turned
by their social elevation, and their one aim
is to conceal the (sct that they are not to
variably afectA, unnatural and extreme.
They are either abnormally stin. and even
arrogant, or else sutservient and familiar.
Above all. they are lamentably lacking IN
that self-respect which tmparts dignity even
to the Scotch and Spanish peasant, and, In
one word. repel by their innate and in
eradicable vulgarity.
That is why~the] English nobleman, who,
by reason OF the charges upon his heavily
incumbered ancestral estates, cannot AFFORD
to marry any but q very rich woman, such
as is not to be found among the members
of his W cacte in Great Britain, prefers
to come to this country for a bride. The
American girl, no matter to what class OF
the social system in the United states her
parents may have belonged, somehow or
other adapts herself at once and without any
effort to whatever circle she may be in
troduced by her husband. Thoroughly i'm
bued with a supreme respect of self, she
does not err on the side either Of undue
assertion or Of too great subservicncy. Her
innate refinement somehow or other in
spires her with the knowledge Of just what
to do and what to say, and, sweeping though
the statement may appear, | have never in

to appoint some woman to an important
place, and he may see his way clear to do
so, but the pressure is hard. and the voters

Apropos to suffrage for women, Mrs. Kicker
wakes eloquent.
II say to all women: Get the ballot; that
is the first thing. Women have quite as
much interest in good government as men,
and | fail to see why they should be excluded
from the ballot box. If taxation without rep
resentation was tyranny before the revolu-
tionary war, and it is generally conceded to
have been one of the great causes OF the
war. 1t Is tyranny today. Women are taxed
under the laws. are put into prisons and are
hanged under the laws, and they should have
a voice in making them; In other words, II
women are citizens, they should have all
the rights and privileges of citizens; il they
are not citizens, what are they?
