ANCESTORS To ORDER.
An Amusing Experience in Ireland
Related By an American
Painter.

Gilbert Stuart was five feet ten inches
in height, with fine physique, brown
hair, a ruddy complexion, and strongly
marked features. He dressed with ele-
gance, which was possible at the period
of which I write, and, Notwithstanding
his biting sarcasm, keen wit, and
searching eye, was a great favOrite with
the fair sex. In his thirty-first year he
chose for his partner through life Miss
Charlotte Coats, a lady of much per
sonal beauty, and with fine cOntraltO
voice, the daughter Of Berkshire ply
sician, and they were married May 10,
17s6.
Notwithstanding the new response
bilities this changed condition entailed,
Stuart continued his old manner Of liv-
ing. and soon found himself deeply en-
barrassed. In those good old times
the supposed remedy for failure to paw
ones debts was the debtors prison, our
enlightened forefathers not possessing
the appreciation Of the situation be
longing to the untutored child Of the
forest, who, when confronted with a
like condition, lacOnicaIly said: Ugh!
In prison 10 catch beaver" Thus many
times did Stuart find himself where be
no catch beaver until, to escape the
walls Of the old Fleet, he removed, two
years after his marriage, to Dublin. and
took up his residence at StillOrgan
Park, a few miles distant from the city,
fattering inducements having been Of
fered him by his Irish friends, who
were so taken with his free manner and
Open-bandedness that they adopted
him, and spoke of him as "our Irish
Stuart"
Stuart had many amusing ex-
periences while in Ireland. although his
stories must be taken With much salt,
as he was a vain rOdOmOntadist, and
counted the relation Of imaginary ex-
Periences among his best practical
jokes. One story that he was Particulr-
" fond Of telling was Of an invitation to
visit a gentleman who desired to have
some portraits painted. he found an
old castle with a new tenant, tailor
who had acquired a large fortune BY
army contracts. The portraits that he
desired Stuart to paint were Of his an
eestOrs5 and as he knew not who they
were, or what they were Ike, his com
mission to Stuart was TO paint them as
they ought 70 have been This Stuart
did 50 satisfactorily TO his patron that
the painter was paid double the agreed
price, and those portraits, with their
century Of age to-day doubtless do duty
for authentic likenesses Of some ancient
Celtic worthies- Such a story as this
has its moral as an impressive warning
TO students of historical portrafture.
and IS an important foot note TO the his
tory Of such FALSE imPersOnatiOns--

A Ninth Unsuccessful Attempt Has Been
Made to Move the City OF Paris
from the Rocks.

COvericIz, Cornwall, May 29.-The
ninth attempt to float the American
line steamer Paris was made and proved
an utter failure 1t now looks very
doubtful whether the Paris can be
fOated, as one pinnacle Of rock has
penetrated the ships double bottom
and stands up in her hold like minia-
ture mountain In an iron case Until
this can be blown away or the ship be
lifted bodily of it the American line

consensus Of opinion among seafaring
men In the neighbOrhOOd of the Lizard
and channel generally is that there is
nothing IN the theory Of magnetic in
huenee upon the cOmpasses- They be
heve that Capt Watkins and his
officers exercised ordinary care, but
that the Paris was influenced by a
powerful indraught Of current on the
food tide, which, catching her on the
point Of her bow, pushed her of her
course until she struck the rocks.

CUBANS NOW FILING CLAIMS.
More Than a Hundred Apply for Their
Share Of Uncle Sans Money and
Thirty Are Paid

Havana, Nay 29--There were III ap-
plicants yesterday for shares IN the So
600, 900 which the United States has
offered as a gratuity TO Cuban troops
Thirty were given SIS each. The 9TH
ers were not on the rolls, although they
had guns which they were ready to
turn in and certificates of service.
The United States military authOri-
ties consider that the rolls are
very unreliable. Indeed, the opinion
is freely expressed that a large proper
ton of the names are fictitious and
that the rolls omit a majority
Of the names Of those rightly entitled
to share In the gratuity. The object
of this, apparently, Is to discredit the
entire proceedings and to show the
Cuban public that a large number Of
the troops refused to take American
money. OF those paid 25 turned in
arms-Mausers, RemingtOns and car
bines. The other five showed receipts
from the alcalde vOuching for the de
livery Of their arms Col. Randall says
it viii be necessary to have additional
days after awhile here and extra
pay rolls for men who have undoubtedly
seen service. He also believes that
were the payment to be continued IN
Havana for the next three days, at
least 90 per cent Of those entitled to
apply would do so. Most of those who
received shares yesterday asserted that
they only heard by accident that the
distribution was now actually taking
