Hoosier

George, New York, last week He
was "a years old.
Z Edward Eggleston, the eldest son
of Joseph Cary Eggleston, was born
at Vevay, Ind, Dec. 10, 1887. He was
g sickly boy and frequently had to
leave school on account of ill health.
At the age of 10 he began to travel a
Methodist circuit in the southeastern
corner of Indiana, carrying his ward
robe in pair of saddlebags 1t was
during these days that he gained i'm
pressions for his strong story of THE
Circuit Rider"
In the spring of 1866 his health
made it necessary to give up the min
istry, and he became associate editor
of the Little Corporal, published in
Chicago. In May, 1870, he became lit
erary editor of the Independent and
removed to Brooklyn to live. In the
following year he took editorial
charge of that paper, but resigned the
position seven months later to accept
the chief editorship of Hearth and
Home. Six weeks later he began to
write for it's columns the story of
THE Hoosier Schoolmaster," follow
ing this with many others, all of
which were popular.

Tuscany where the miserable chase
was carried on.
The foreheads and the cheeks of
these unhappy beings were marked
with cuts in order that they might be
recognized. and they were afterwards
sold to the pagans of Africa. In
vain did provincial synods prohibit in
severest terms this commerce" says
Mutinelli, "in vain did the Vatican
launch it's anathemas against these
traffickers; the greed of gain over
powered all scruples, and in the very
port of Ostia in the vicinity of the
city whence the pontifical excom-
munications issued, the Venetians
filed their boats with captives to be
sold as slaves"

Wilkes Booths Oil Well

About the close of the year 1864"
said an old-time Venango county,
Penn. oil operator, when the Prather
boys were securing about the oil
country trying to raise money to
buy the Holmden property at Pithole,
before oil had been found at that
afterward famous and rich, but short
lived petroleum center, John Wilkes
Booth was at Meadville one day,
waiting for a train eastward on the
Atlantic & Great Western railroad,
now the Erie. He was in the Office
of the McHenry house. One of the
Prather boys was there talking up
the prospects of the oil at Pithole.
Booth became interested. He be-
gan to talk with Prather He stood
by window, and as he talked he
scratched his full name, John Wilkes
Booth, on one of the panes of the
window with the diamond in a ring
he wore. The upshot of Booths talk
with Prather was that he invested
$4,000 in Pithole property.
The Prather boys had bought the
Holmden well for 100000 and sold
it for more than 100000. The
Homestead well, in which Booth had
his $4,000 investment, was only one
of a dozen equally large spouting
wells, grouped at Pithole. Oil was
then Sc a barrel, and the smallest
fraction of ownership in a Pithole
well was a fortune.
THE night that President Lincoln
was shot thunderstorm, something
unusual at that time of year, gather
ed over Pithole. There was but one
flash of lightning and one clap of
thunder. This was not regarded with
any significance at Pithole at the
time, but subsequent revelations
clothed it with a significance that
awed the superstitious. and startled

Remarkable "Folk cure.r

Probably of all complaints that
flesh is heir to epilepsy has most
folk cures" some of which still pre-
vail. Among others is the belief in
the efficacy of a plaster applied over
the pit of the stomach; if sickness
follows, the cure is thought to be COM
plete. A more quaint remedy is the
conversion of silver coins, collected at
a sacrament, into ring to be worn
by the afflicted. These coins must
be paid for by coppers collected by
the epileptic from unmarried persons
of the opposite sex on leaving church.

Indiana Regiments Battleflas

At the postofice, Gen. McGinnis
has ready for shipment to New York
one of the battlefiags of the Eleventh
Indiana regiment, to be placed in
the tomb of Gen U. S. Grant This
is being sent at the request of Gen.
Dodge, one of the trustees of the
tomb, who has asked each of the
states for two flags to hang in the
tomb When the request was receiv-
ed here it was found that all of the
regiments had turned their colors
over to the state with the exception
of the Eleventh.
This regiment has always closely
guarded the tattered remnants of its
flags. At the time of the unveiling
of the Indiana Soldiers Monument,

decayed with age that they were fall

Owing to the tattered condition of
the flag, blue silk banner, eighteen
by twenty-four inches, was made to
accompany it, and on this the names
of the battles of the regiment were
worked in gold bullion. The flag was
with the regiment at the organization
of the Thirteenth army corps, and
was carried in every engagement of
that part of the army until the time
Gen. Grant left it.

front at the beginning of the war,

who actually lived and acted the
deeds that have made them known.
So closely has he depicted the
characteristics of the Venetians of the
10th century, and so familiar does he
seem with places and customs apd
modes of expression and action, that
authors of note have seriously main
tanned that he could not have known
details SO intimately unless he trav-
elled in the country.
To those who hold that Shakespeare
was unacquainted with the special
characteristic of Venice as a city in
the sea, the stage directions at the
beginning of the play, 1.-THE Merchant
of Venice" may be quoted: Scene,
partly at Venice and partly at Bel
mont, the seat of Portia, on the con-
tinent." Why this distinction should
be made between Venice and Bel
mont. ION the continent" is not other
wise easy of explanation.
Shakespeare does not furnish a
clew to the actual scene of the trial
further than the scant mention:
Venice. A Court of Justice" in the
olo6C I'll CCllOAS- ct lutT6 are many
reasons for believing that the actual
scene of this celebrated trial-one
can scarcely help regarding it as real,
rather than imaginary, and much more
real to the world at large than many
actual lawsuits-took place in the
great hall of the Doge's palace known
as the Sala de'Pregadi.
The Venetian chronicler, Marin
Sanudo, who wrote the records of this
city during a part of the 10th century,
tells constantly the story of the trials
or discussions held in the Pregadi In
its present aspect this is one of the
noblest and most richly decorated
halls within the Doge's palace. On
a dais, to which ascent is made by
seven steps, and which stretches
across one end of the room, is the
chair of the duke or chief official of
the court, and on each side the seats
of the councillors or assistants.
On this high platform imagination
bodies forth the figures of Antonio,
the merchant, and Bassanio, his
friend, of Portia disguised as "a
young and learned doctor" come from
Padua, from Belario, under the name
of Balthasar, recommended by that
same Bellario, whom the duke had
sent for to determine this cause, but
who was very sick" and could not
come. Padua, which in another of
his plays Shakespeare describes as
the nursery of arts" was celebrated
for its school of law.
And here, before the majesty of the
republic of Venice, and in the pres
ence of the personages in the play in
whose deeds readers are so interested,
and the crowd of curious and idle
Venetians who thronged into this
Sala de'Pregadi, the famous trial was
conducted.
There was time, says the Vene-
tian writer, Fablo Mutinelli, at the be-
ginning of the last century, when even
at Venice man was considered only
ss piece of merchandise and he
was disposed of as any other object
of sale and purchase-that he was, in
fact, a slave. The commerce in
slaves, which was a source of great
gain. had spread to Venice, and Dal-
