Tale Of tho strange Killiag - .
Geoxgetown Negro Many
Years Ago.

1.-THE old Georgetown market stood
where the present one now is, at the
foot of Potomac street, overlooking the
then new Chesapeake and Ohio canal.
The fish stands were where they arc
now, at the rear end of the building,
and was quite small boy, carrying
the family market basket for my father
ON Saturday mornings when did not
have to go to school. One morning We
went down to the market, as usual, and
stopped at the fish stand. A man
named Scott, who kept one Of tho
stands, was cleaning fish, and my father
asked him if he had any good fish.
eyes, sir" said he. Here's some
good perch
"There was a colored man, free me-
gro, named Benz never knew of his
having any other name-sorting over
some more fish at an opposite stall, and
he picked up q bunch and called out to
my father: 'Yere's some heap bett'r'n
dem, Mister Mason. Desc yere wuz
ketched las night
"Scott said: Shut up, nigger.' and
turning to father, said: Don't pay no
attention to him, sir. These here is
fresh fish, and know Ben caught his
day before yesterday
1.-THE negro was nettled, but in those
days it did not do to talk too freely to
. white man, and Ben only muttered
remonstratingly: Don't lie bout my
fish, Mars Bob
'Scott swung around with his knife
in his hand and shouted: Did you call
me liar, niger"
Vas, you lies eff you say desc yere
fish wuz ketched day befo' Yesterday
growled the black fisherman.
Scott did not say a word, but dropped
his fish knife into the palm of his right
hand, with the heavy handle resting
against his wrist and the knife lying
lengthwise in the trough of his fingers.
Then he gave his forearm a vicious
smack with his left hand, and the knife
few through the air as if it had been
shot out of gun. The negro was
standing fully 80 feet away at his own
stall. He had nothing on the upper
part of his body but thin cotton shirt,
and the knife, striking him on the left
breast, went in up to the hilt. think
from the way it few it would have
gone through an ordinary door panel
just as well.
"The negro never uttered a word,
but dropped as dead as if he had been
shot with rifle. I hardly think Scott
intended to kill him, for killing even a
free negro in those days was not
lawful amusement. Anyhow, Scott es-
capped in the excitement and was not
heard of again for 20 years. AS Ben was
not slave, and therefore nobody was
financially injured by his death, there
was no effort, SO far as know, to cap
ture his slayer, but the incident has
always remained wildly in my memory
as the most remarkable example OF
knife play have ever een."-Washing.

BUILDINGS OLD AND NEW.
Facts About Some Historic Structure
That Interest the Entire
World.

The great glory Of Chesterfield house,
London, is marble staircase, each step
of which is formed of a single block
more than 20 feet long.
An important work is soon to be be-
gun at Spalato, in Dalmatia. This will
be the building of a central museum
in which the collection at present scat
tered among four buildings will be
brought together, including the objects
found in Salona and in the palace of Do
cletian.
The architect, NJ. Redon, who has
charge of the Louvre, has resolved to re-
store the Tuileries garden to the condi-
ton in which it was in the days of La
Notre. AS the palace does not exist
to-day, it is impossible to say whether
the old artificial style will be pleasing
or not.
Students of architecture may have
often wondered how the two towers Of
Notre Dame, at Paris, were not of the
same size. A writer in one of the En-
lish magazines has found rather euri-
Gus explanation. 1t appears that when
the cathedral was built it was the ca
thedral of suffragan bishop, who was
not entitled to two towers of equal
height, and for centuries the bishop Of
Paris was suffragan to the bishop Of
Sens.
Explorations are proceeding rapidly
n the Forum, Rome, and following upon
the appropriation Of the site of the Ba-
silica Amelia comes the good news that
the ugly seventeenth century church
Of San Lorenzo, in Miranda, which has
iisigured the beautiful chapel of An
toninus and Faustina, is to be taken away

temple will now be revealed in all their
beauty, says the Scientific American.
The columns are the largest of their
kind in Rome, being about so feet high
and ten in number. The three large
steps of the portico, which descend to
the Via Sacra, have now been entirely
cleared of rubbish, SO that not only il

up to the temple actually seen for the

information that I would find the
colonel or the senorita in such place.
1t seems. as look back upon it, that
must have idled away a great deal of
precious time; but this was really not
the case. When they asked me what
would like to do, that first Monday
morning. l mentioned being very fond
of sailing. and In few moments we
were in one of the proas, with a native
who sailed the thing like an arrow
across the smooth water and along the
coast to Orote.
It was rather a primitive affair, as
far as construction went, but strong
enough to stand pretty heavy weather.

end. On the lee side 1t was rounded
like any other: boat, but to windward
it was perpendicularly fat. Lashed
across the gunwales about four feet
from each end were two straight limbs
of a tree that looked like teak, eight
feet long; and these at the outer ex-
tremity were dashed to a rounded and
sharpened boom of the same wood.
The sail, of cocoa mating, was tri-
angular one, which seemed out OF all
proportion to the narrow hull beneath
it. There was a stout bamboo mast in
the middle, and from this hung a
smaller and a longer pole which
formed the upper side OF the sails tri-
angle. meeting the lower one in u point
at the bow, where they were secured
like jib. The immense spread of sail
