Barbara Frietchie was in her nine
ty-ffth year at the time of the flag
incident" September 70, 1862. and
died on December IS, following.
When the confederate troops began
entering Frederick on the 9th. sth
and 10th of September, Mrs. Frietchie
took the flag down from her dOrmer
window and placed it between the
pages of the old family Bible. She,
with other citizens of Frederick, real
lied that it was dangerous TO per-
NIT the flag to float while the town
was filing up with cOnfederates. On
the morning Of the 18th, when Gen.
McClellan's army, with the advance

under command of Gen. Burnside,
marched up West Patrick street, Mrs.
Frietchie was at one of the dOTmer
windows and waved her hand as q
token of joy. Her grandniece, Miss
Julia Hanshaw-nOw Mrs. John Alb
bOtt-and a young Miss Yoner were
standing by the old lady's side. The
presence of the union forces and the
inspiring music caused the patriotic
old lady to request Miss YOner to go
into an adjoining room and get the
flag from the Bible. This was done,
and soon the Stars and Stripes were
floating from the window. The en-
thusiasm and patriotism of Mrs.
FTietchie caused the union soldiers to
cheer Justify. The gallant Gen. Reno
went into the house and cOngratu-
lated her, at the same time asking
her for the flag which she had waved.
Mrs, Rrietehie did not give the gem
eral the flag. but did get another
and give him with a God bless
you and the star4 and Stripes"
Gen. Reno waved the nag and pro-
posed three cheers. which were
given with a will. Gen. Reno was
killed next day at the battle of South
Mountain.

Sessed of nearly half a million dollars
clear Of all indebtedness when he died.
When Reed retired from congress
he was poor man. Hhe had died then
his widow would have been left with
the Old-fashioned house in Portland
and that is about all; for he lived fully
up to his income ever since he had
been in Washington.
As speaker he had salary of 5000.
As consulting counsel for the National
Board of Fire Underwriters he had an
annual income Of about $500. For
occasional magazine articles he re-
ceived $500 apiece; and he may have
averaged four Of these = year. A lib
eral estimate Of his income was SIS, 900,
tor he had practically no law practice
while in congress. Every cent of this
went TO the cost of existence in Wash
ington; although Reed never lived ex-
traysgantly and had simple tastes.
he no sooner arrived in New York
than the rich men with whom he assO-
ciated began 30 put him into things,
and under their guidance he bought
stocks surely and conservatively. IL
would not have surprised some Of his
friends Il he estate had invehtOried 9
million dollars; but the general under
standing was that he left about sou

Reed was longing 20 get back to
Washington. New York always seemed
to him like q huge mining camp
place TO make money, and nothing else.
Had he lived another week he would
have had his family settled in Wash-
ingtOn, and he was prepared TO enjoy
thoroughly an irresponsible leisure.
But fate ordained that il should not

Be that as it may, nobody has ever
questioned the honesty and ability Of
his course as justice, and he has always
been regarded as one Of the strong
men on the bench.
He has always had an inclination to-
wards politics of the stalWart kind,
and his friends say the presidential bee
has buzzed persistently in his bonnet.
Yet, in all his three score years and'ten,
he has never held an elective Office.
That has been a source Of great grief

bench the only temptation would come
from q sure prospect Of being elected

Harlan is a great pedestrian and 3

PLANT WITH DEADLY DOOR.
sumatra and Java Have Vegetables
Products That Dissemin-
ate Death.

There are criminals among plants as
well as among animals and human be-
lngs. Those that have the most sinister
reputation are known as death plants,
which are found only in the volcanic
districts Of Java and Sumatra, says
Nature. The plants appearance quite
bellies its name, for II is really very at
tractive, being a low growing shrub
with long thorny stems covered with
beautiful broad leaves. The upper sur
face of these leaves is a vivid emerald,
while the lower surface is a brilliant
scarlet. The flowers are great whfte
bell-shaped blossoms, which exhale a
sweet and deadly perfume.
The death plant grows in the most
fertile spots, but all about it the
ground becomes barren Of vegetation
and neither bird nor beast may come
within a wide radius Of it. They know
better, but rash man, with no warning
instinct to guide him, will occasionally
linger too long in its vicinity, enehant-
ed by its delicious and heavy fragrance,
until he experiences the distressing eff
fects Of his fmprudenee-a binding
headache, which, II be stin remains,

ness, commissions of muscles Of the face

While he was waiting for his case to

Young EskimO who Loved HIS
Enemy's Daughter.


The duke Of the Abruzz has brought
back with him from his polar exPedi-
ton a number Of Eskimo stories, re-

One of these concerns young Esti-
mo who loved the daughter Of an enc
my. The two huts Of these persons
were close together. but enc night the
terrific cold ripped a great crevasse in
the ice, and the young mans house was
left isolated.
A gorge 100 feet deep and 20 feet
wide separated il from the igloo, or
hut, containing the girl, but there was
narrow bridge of ice left across the
erevasse, and this, the young man
found, would bear his weight.
Eskimos sleep in bags The lover de-
eided that he would that night cross
the ice bridge, steal the maiden he
loved bear her to his hut, and then
break down the bridge, 50 that he and
she together might enjoy their honey
moon unmolested.
He planned very successfully. BE
erept, in the dead of night, into his
enemy's hut; he snatehed up the
maiden in her sack without awaking
anyone; he bore her over the ice bridge
safely, and then he opened the sack to
embrace his bride. But, behOlding its
contents, he gave a loud cry. 1t was
not the maiden, but her father that he
had stolen.

GERS Mai th0y were burned,
a. nobody suspected that they were
ANYTHING but departmental trash.
Among them were autograph letters Of
recommendation from famous public
men dating back 80 years-to the time
when public men were in the habit Of
devoting a good share Of their time to
recommending constituents 70 once
and when they would pen elaborate
testimonials to the heads OF depart
ments.
That sort Of thing has gone out Of
date since the civil service cOmmiss' n
came into existence and the clerical
places in the departments were gath
cred into the classified service.
There are letters from Roscoe Conk-
ling. Horace Greeley, Charles Sumner
ana James A. Garfield. There il q let

them were addressed 70 Horatio King,
who was postmaster general under
Buchanan for a few weeks before Lin
coin came in and TO Montgomery Blair,
who was Lincoln's postmaster general
The striking thing about all of the
letters is the Peremptory tone in which
they are couched and the air Of pro
prietorship with which men not con
nected with the department demanded
the privilege of naming the members
Of the clerical force. Such letters
would receive scant courtesy now from
any cabinet officer; but, as a rule, IN
