Tryon Died as Burgoyne Died.

There was a remarkable similarity be-
tween the fate of Admiral Tryon, who
perished when the Victoria. went down,
and that of Captain Hugh Burgoyne, the
commander of the Captain when she was
lost. Private dispatches received in Eng-
land say that the admiral commanded
his men to save themselves, but refused
to save his own life. When the Captain
capsized and after struggling to right
herself finally turned over completely,
floating with her keel uppermost, Cap-
tain Burgoyne, Mr. May, the gunner,
and a seam-an named Heard reached the
:pinnace. The ship almost immediately
disappeared, but her second launch, with

' 10 men on board, came alongside the
;;pinnace. '

A sudden lurch separated the two
fboats before Captain Burgoyne and
Heard 'had time to board the launch.
The sailor took his commander by the
hand and proposed to jump. “Save
your own life, my man,” Captain Bur-
goyne replied. The boats separated
more and more, and Heard exclaimed,
“Will you come of not, sir?” Burgoyne
answered: “Jump and save yourself. I
:shall not forget you some day.” ’ The
sailor leaped and finally reached the
launch, but the captain was not again
seen. .

He was a descendant of Sir John Bur-
goyne of the Revolution and the only
son of the then constable of the tower.
another Sir John. Admiral ’Tryon was

regarded as England’s chief defender._

and Burgoyne Was a skillful and braVe
officer. It is a singular fact that the
two officers served together as lieuten-
ants in the trenches before Sebastopol,
being at the time attached to the land
. b- .

Kept His Wife In ;. Trunk.

The ofiense known in this Country as
sequestration, or private imprisonment,
is far from uncommon. only the other
day a whole family was brought up for
trial on a charge of keeping an idiot
youth in an iron cage until he had lost
all his physical as well as his mental

faculties, and ’a similar case is now.

reported from Evreux, in, Normandy.
The. authorities of the village of Neu-
bourg were advised recently by anony-
mous letter that a peasant named Le-
huby was “sequestrating” his wife..
The gendarmes presented themselves
at Lehuby’s house and asked'to see his
wife. This request” being refused, they
proceeded to search the place from the
cellar to the granary, and having found
no trace of the woman Were abdut to
withdraw when one of them discovered
a large trunk and asked for the key. On
the case being opened the figure of Mme.
Lehuby suddenly jumped up like. a jack

in the box, and she explained to the '

gendarmes that her husband would not
allow her to go out and that whenever
he left the house he left her locked-up in
the box,where she could scarcely . reathe.
Lehuby was at once arrested and will be
tried for “amateur imprisonment.”—
Paris Cor. London Telegraph.

Objects of the Peary Expedition.

The chief objects of the Peary expedi-
tion include a careful examination of the
detached land masses which are known
to lie to the north of Greenland, and
which have been seen on previous expe-
ditions, not only by Lieutenant Peary,
but also by Lockwood and Brainard,
little or nothing being at present known
of their exteut‘and general character, and
the delimitation of a considerable por-
tion of the east coast of Greenland, ex-
tending from Independence bay about
300 miles south to Cape Bismarck. This
portion of the coast has never been ex-
plored, although it was seen from ves-
sels coasting in that vicinity about 200
years ago. He also intends to ascertain
the transverse profile of Greenland along
or near the seventy-seventh parallel from
Cape Bismarck to Inglefield'gulf. Along
this line Greenland is about 350 miles
wide. Incidentally he will also con-
tinue the study of the arctic highland-
ers, a tribe of people who live in the
highest latitudes known to be frequented
by any people in the world—Brooklyn

A Welcome Ready For Bermuda.

We confess that the proposal of The
Sun that Bermuda join us is a fascinat-
ing one. Why, indeed, should we not
annex Bermuda? It is scarcelyfarther
from New York than is Detroit or Hali-
fax. The peeple are desirable. Less than
half of t m are white, to be sure, but
three-f0 ha of the whole population
are worthy Episcopalians. An annual
budget of $150,000 provides government
for these people now, and their, debt is
a mere bagatelle. , Already most of Ber-
muda’s business is with the. UnitedStates,
and our people make up the bulk of the
winter pleasure travel. We are frank to

concede that if, Bermuda suggests annex-'

ation a great many of us will take OE
our hats and cheer.—New York Com—
mercial Advertiser.

A Girl Battles With Rattlers.
While we are telling snake stories the
following good one comes to us from the

mountain region. Mr. E. T. Dulin stand-7

ing as authority: The country around
Little Big Black mountain is a ginseng
region, and the Parker family are noted
as “sengers.” The girls go out barefooted
in the mountains, though the country is
infested with rattlesnakes and copper-
heads, and dig the ginseng, for which
they get good prices at the stores, from
which it is taken to Pennington gap for
shipment. .

But along Clover gap and up Rattle-
snake creek there are numberless rep-
tiles. Beckie Parker is a good girl, about
19 years of age, strong, healthy looking
and handsome, but with a very deter-
mined face. She is a splendid shot and
often takes her Winchester. .

She goes after ginseng barefooted and
often alone. The roots are gathered in
May and September, and during the
month just passed she did a thriving
business. One day, however, she came
across a den of rattlesnakes. She had
only stones and sticks with which to
fight the desperate battle. Some of the
snakes were larger than a man’s arm
and a few of them as large as the calf of
a man’s leg. For hours she fought them
as they hissed and writhed and rattled
around her. But the brave, determined
girl battled with them until she killed
every one that did not succeed in hiding
among the crevices of rocks and in the
dense undergrowth. When she had
crushed the last one to be seen, she count-
ed the dead, and there were just 63.—
Fredericksburg Star.

Treed Their Man, but He Got Away Easily.

The residents of Chester county had a
man hunt the other day. . The object of
the hunt was Wesley Mitchell, a colored
character, who had spread much terror
among the Chester countyans, and who
is wanted by both the Delaware and
Maryland authorities. The entire neigh-
borhood turned out to hunt the would
be murderer downhbut Mitchell was too
quick for them. He speedily scaled the
tallest tree in the forest, and in spite of
all the pursuers could do he sat there
like a wild beast viewing the scene be-
low. ?

Constable Strode of West Grove and
Oflicer Grace of Kennett Square, the lead-
ers of the band in pursuit of the assail-
ant, concluded that Mitchell w'ould come
down if an attempt was made to dis-
lodge him by felling the tree, but they
were mistaken. The tall timber was
completely out down before Mitchell
budged, and then he carefully rode down
on the fallen tree and bolted far into the
forest. The hunters were dumfounded.
They expected to see him instantly killed
by the falling tree. He quickly swam a
small stream on the edge of the forest
and in a few: minutes was entirely lost
to his pursuers.-—Wilmington Cor. Bal-
timore American. .

The Crowds In the Midway.

Referring to the crowds in Midway
plaisance in Jackson park, 3. correspond-
ent "writes to the Paris Figaro: “They
move along like a procession of Quakers.
They have no jokes, no frolics, no shouts,
no fun. The dead silence that marks
their promenade makes one think of the
processions -of the pupils of some deaf
and dumb institution,” etc. .

"This is not strictly true—not so truth
ful as it would be for us to say that the
Parisian idea of fun and frolic invOIVes

barricades, riots, murder, arson and.

queen killing.

‘We are grateful for serviceable sug-
gestions,, but we must beg to be excused
from practicing that kind of sport which
appears to be so popular in Paris and
which has made Paris infamous in his-
tory. We are proud that we have re—
mained, in spite of all temptations, so

Quakerish as to regard with horror the

lewd fun, the lubricious jokes, the bawdy
shouts and the licentious frolics which
the correspondent of Figaro ruefully fails
to find among us.—Eugene Field in Chi-
cago N ewe-Record.

A New Prophet and Mystic In Kief.

A new sect whose prophet is a certain
peasant called Kondrati is making ex-
traordinary progress in the provinces of
Kief and Poltava. Kondrati is a. man
of considerable power as a speaker, but
who was at one time confined in a lu-
natic asylum. He was ’ arrested some
time ago and sent to Transcaucasia, but
his followers are most energetic apostles
and continue to propagate Kondratism.
Their principle tenet is that all men
are as Christ was, and in exactly the
same way sons of God when they have
been touched by the Spirit. The plain-
ost facts and statements in Scripture are
interpreted in a mystical spirit. There
is also a tendency to free love among
them, but as the last statement is vouch-

ed for only by the Russian clergy it may

have no foundation. The Kondratists
already number 7 ,000.—Christian World.

 

Our Recent Statues.

Any foreigner who intends writing his
impressions of the United Statesshould
not fail to notice our statues and in the
case of the two erected Fourth of July in
New England he should certainly find
room to say something. At Newbury-
port the figure of Garrison inbronze was
uncovered, and at Bridgeport that of
Barnum. The ordinary foreigner would
have a mental struggle to comprehend
why the two cities should select such
different subjects for memory and honor,
but nevertheless any schoolboy could
explain the whole matter, though we
doubt if the foreigner would be wiser
even with an explanation from our most
eniightened citizens.—-Providence Jour-
na. .

A poll parrot, owned. by aNew York-
er, seeing smoke in the adjoining house
to her master, a few months ago, awoke
him b hrieking frantically, andin this

,way was probably the means of saving

property, if not lives.

Senator Sherman has moved into his
new $150,000 house at Washington. It
is one of the finest residences at the cap-
ital. He made much of his money out
of Washington-real estate.

Coming Internatioan‘ExppoitIoni. V
“People who are fond of going to inter-
national exhibitions can go to lots of
them within the next seven-V or eight
years. Inabout seven months fromthis
time, or on theist of. April, there 'is: to
be opened at Madrid, underthe auspices

of. theSpanish'government, a show bear- -

ing the official title of “The Universal
International Exposition,“ the managers,
of which have already given notice that
they are prepared to receive exhibits
from all countries, including the United
States. It is to be held in the Palace of
Industry and its annexes and will be
kept open for eight months.

Then, three years afterward, or in 1897,
the Turkish government is to. hold a
grand international exhibition in Con-
stantinople, if things can be got ready
for it and if the Russians do not get
down to the Golden Horn by that time.
It is reported from there that Sultan
Abdul Hamid. II, who is an enlightened
and progressive monarch, desires that
the world shall be made acquaintedwith
Turkey’s power, and that the Turks
shall obtain an understanding of the re-
sources of other countries, so that thus
benefits may accrue to his own subjects
and the rest of mankind. We must hope
that this project will not be interfered
with. The Turkish exhibition in Con-
stantinople will very certainly be worth
seeing, and it is but a short trip from
this country to the Bosporus.

. After some other shows of lesser im-
portance we shall arrive at the universal
exposition in Paris in the year 1900, for
which the French government is already
making preparations. That will pretty
certainly attract visitors from all parts
of the earth. _

In the course of time, or let us say
very soon after the opening of the twen-
tieth century, you will perhaps see an
exhibition here in New York, compared
with which all previous exhibitions will
appear trivial-New York Sun.

A Touching Ceremony. -

Our Paris correspondent reports that
a very touching ceremony took place re
cently at Battilly on the Franco-German
frontier. A German contingent came
to reclaim a. handful of their dead of the
Prussian guard, who fell in the war of
1870. Their dead were delivered up to
them and were carried with every mark
of respect from the representatives of
both armies to a monument on the Ger—
man side, within which they were to find
their final rest. V

The French troops formed in hollow
square, while German and French chap-
lains delivered orations on the heroism
of victors and vanquished. The troops
presented. arms, and there came a mo-
ment of the deepest significance when
the German soldiers stood facing the
French soldiers in the salute, and the
German and the French generals in ad—
vance stood looking right into each othé
er's eyes. They had not seen each other
so close with weapons in their hands
since they parted from the death grip
which cost France her provinces. This
time of course they met and they parted
asfriends, yet not without a grim sug-
gestion of the possibility of their future
meeting in the old character.—-London
News.
, His Wedding Night In J all.
That amusing scene in the “Chapeau

. de Pail-led’Italie," in which the members

‘offa'wedding party are .ignominiously

locked up, is frequently repeated here in,

real life. A journeyman painter and dec-
orator, who had married ayoung woman
emplOyed as a fruit vendor in the Rue

fClignancourt, was returning home with

his bride and friends when a. band of noc-

’ tip-pal prowlers delivered a determined

attack on the party. The bridegroom
was knocked down by the aggressors, and
the bride slipped and fell. The battle
raged furiously in the. dark for several
minutes, and the arrival of the police, in-
stead of settling matters in the proper
manner, only made them worse. Inthe
general scuffle the real culprits escaped,
andthe police, exasperated by the blows

. received by them, and not knowing who

struck them in the obscurity, arrested
the bridegroom, and despite his protests
carried him OH to the lockup. There he
had topass the night and was only re-
stored to his disconsolate better half the
next morning—Paris Letter.

. A Poet’s Life Tragedy.

The English papers lately have" been
full of a very romantic tragedy, which
castsa lurid light on literary ambition,
as the victim was a poet. A Mr. Stoer
and his wife were found dead ina wood,
and the coroner’s jury found that the
man committed suicide after killing his
wife. It appears that the couple had re-
solved to die together if fortune did not
mend. The girl wife. came from Ger-
many for the purpose. It seems that
Mr. Stoer was a writer of poems and
tragedies which did not meet with suc-
cess. In a. letter left for the public he
says he was killed by “this so called
practical generation,” adding that “ge-
nius without means or influential friends,-
without worldly goods or selfish folk in-
terested in promoting its welfare, per:
ishes like a flower by the wayside, seen
by few, observed by none and covered
by the dust of passing ignorance and
perversion.” .

Objections to Endeavor-en.

The members of the homeland power-
ful organization which held a big con-
vention in this city last July and has
just been holding another in Montreal
ought not to call themselves “Endeavor-

ers.” It is not a good . or a euphonious '

derivative. If the principal noun in the
name of their society were “effort” or
“exertion,” would they feel justified in
terming themselves “efiorters” or “exer-
tioners?” The circumstance that the.
word referred to is convenient is not};
good reason for employing it. It would
be still worse, though, if as arsubstitute
for it they shoulddnvent such an abomi-
hation as “Endeav6rists.”—New York
Tribune.
