Th Bloody Tower Beyond the TrmKora' ate Wtiere Boyal .y 'a. 8irat Old St. Peter'e and the Hxtlng Place of Anna Bolejm A Tim IConored Ceremony. To describe the Tow er of London to detail ta absolutely unneceaet ry it is too well known a a whole, but there are Interesting little facta not generally reiuzed by the public, and there are nooka usutlly unvuuted. - It waa my good fortune on a recent day to go care fully around this grand old pile wilh a special order from Gen. Mi man, the resident gov ernor. Passing by tl e Traitors' Gate, I went Into the Bloody Tower, In a room in which 1 found myself stand ag on the very spot wherein wore Imprisoned the two littje pr Incus, and from tb- window of which cen turies after Arch bint op Laud leaned out to bless Lord Strafford as bo passed to death upon the acaeold just beyond. An old, old room this, full of historic interest, and now inhabited by one of the picturesquely attired beef eaters. St John's cliurch, one of the oldest Norman clm -clies in the kingdom, built in 1067, U too well known to require de scription, ao I will pa s on to the armory de partments, where I mw lxrd Wolseley going round on an evident ouaineas inspection. IN THE DUNGEON. lu paming down a utah-case in this White tower, wberelu is kept this armor, and in which is placed a staid of 60,000.iuodern ri des, 1 noticed the enormous thickness of the splendid walls, and ou inquiring I was in formed that thoy we:-o fU'tocu t'ect in depth. BouMtth tiie White tower are the dungeons, which are never shov.-n to the general public. Uere is an eternal tn Uight, a rousty smell, an icy ohillmuxa. The Cn.t out), pure Norman in its arcul uji-turo, is cal il the Torture chamber, for hero wore stretx bed upon the rack the miserable victims of political necessity or re ligious bigotry. In a very narrow passage lending out of this g-eat enamour, and which is knowu by the uuue of little Ease, be caiue in it a prisoner could neither ait nor lie uown, was wearily imprisoned the misguided Uuy Pawkes. In tu t pitch dark dungeon be yond, which has nt flooring but the damp, cold earth, went onto imprisoned 800 Jews, who, in the Thirtemtu century, were sus pected of the crime of clipping coin. A dreadful place this, iind hideously suggestive of the undreamed ol' horrors of these "good old days of yore. " V he door an old oak one, iron bound and immensely strong ehut off these poor wretches from all communication with the outer work In this dungeon, or a series of dungeons, was recently discovered a very deep well, into which we fwu -fully peeped. Prom the dungeon to the cburtsh is but a short step; in the old days the journey was usually made from the latter to the former. St Peter's dates from 127!;; it Is full at the saddest, ten deixet interest; witl.in its dingy walls and be neath its historic jjavemente there lie the bodies of three of England's queens. Ruskin finely says of the church that "it is the sad dest spot in Christei.dom, for here are buried in dishonor the gree test in the land, while at Westminster Abbty they are buried In honor," a most touching and suggestive con trast. Mout of the oeautif ui bi ni sm were re moved hi Cromwell s time. 1 was deeply interested to hear that in re pairing the chaucul in 1S77 there was discov ered the body of .tnne Boleyn, which was recognized by the htorically tiny neuk, and by the iact that the body lay just In the spot described in the burial registry; also Were discovered the bonei of a big man, which be longed beyond dout t to the Ui fated Duke of Monmouth. These were reverently reburled in their long, long t esting place. Upon the wuii, and p recurved within a glass case, I saw the three coffin plates of the noblemen last dect pitated upon Tower mi' Lords rTilmarao-ik, Lovet and Balmarino. The inscriptions wt re all in Latin. The very plain little font dates back to the reign of Edward UL WHSBB TBI AX STOOD. - Not aatUfled with my morning's round 1 went the next night to have a chat with the deputy chaplain cf tue tower, Mr. Foster, who told me many interesting little facta, some of which are mentioned above. To my surprise he told me that the tower is not sup posed to be haunted, nor Is there any ghostly traditions hanging round this spot. Just be fore 11 be and I stopped out into the cool night air. A wild, windy night, clouds chas ing each other ovsr the moon, whoea misty, watery rays fell i pon that ancient Konnaa keep. J ust at my hand, and railed off, waa the very spot whet ein was lifted so often the "ax's keeuer edge. " It was upon this very spot and from yonder identical window shin ing wb.te in the moonshine, that Lady Jane Urey, the nine day' queen, gazed as her hus band slowly puaaxi to his death; fur aba was Imprisoned in the liouseof Sir. Partridge, the gvntituuan jailer, wherein now resides the official who to this day bears the same title. But the silence, pregnant with such memo ries, is suddenly broken by the clash of arms, the tramp of feet nnd the hoarse cry of mili tary command. Li the fitful light we see a small body of soldi era drawn up, and beneath the iiloody Tower oumes the guard, preceded by a warden bear! lg the keys. "Halt 1" cries the officer in command. "Who comes theref "Keys," is the immediate response. "Whose keys" "Quuen Victoria's keys." "Present arms.' "God preserve Queen Viutoria.B "Amen," is the cLar, deep answer of all the suldiura Every night for untold years bad this cer emony taken place. It is over now. Thought fully 1 wend my way past the Traitor's Gate, beneath which tbt water is mournfully drip ping, and, passing out of the grand old gates, I leave history beuind, only to plunge into the vatt, weird l&t ion of this Nineteenth century.

I nerer took anything that relieved me so quickly, and I hare not felt so well for a long time. I used t be troubled with severe headaches two or three times a week, but since using tbe Balm bare only bad one, and that waa very light compared with other former ones. J. A. Alcon,;. Agent U. P.

Daa Dougherty Hud to Ma" a Speech on Short Niitlc By reason of being his birthplace, Philadel phia claims Dan Dougherty. This claim, however, is disputed by New York, which is now his home, and both cities, with equal cause, are proud of him. Aa an orator, Mr. Douirhertv's rcnutAtinn i Tinrirmal ! mon. stories are told of the readiness of his elo quence. Perhaps the most striking instance of this faculty waa afforded at the time of President Lincoln's visit to the great fair of the sanitary conimisHio'n in Philadelphia in I8tt4, as tbe guest of the Union league. Morton McMichael, whose fame as a fluent speaker still lives wherever he was beard; Charles Gibbons and several other leading innmbers of the league, ware upon the com mittee of reception, and Mr. McMichael had prepared a brilliant address of woleoma By some mischance Prcsideut Lincoln arrived ahead of time, and quietly proceeded to a hotel, after his usual unobU-usive fashion. He was immediately pounced upon by a Mr. Webster, a gonial, jolly "man about town," who knew everybody, and was occa sionally over officious. Taking it for grauted that it was all right, Mr. Lincoln stepped into the carriage which Mr. Webster bad in wait ing and was driven to tbe fair. When the committee of reception called at the hotel to wait upon him, tie was gone, as the clerk said, with "a committee from the Union league." "Impossible," said Mr. McMichael. "We are the committee." To follow In hot chaee was all they could do, but Mr. Webster was ou the watch, and as the well known group entered tno fair room by one door, ha took the president out of anothor, and drove Straight to the Union league, where the members, minus the com mittee, were assembled to do honor to the pret-idont. The committee, boiling over with wrath, gave chase; vainly, for by this time the streets were packed with a danao crowd, anxious for a sight of Mr. Lincoln. It was Impossible to drive a carriage through the crowd, and at Twelf Ui and Chestnut streets they were obliged to got out and fight thoir way on foot, inch by inch. Meantime, at the Union league everything was upset for lack of Mr. McMichael and the eloquent address too safely stowed away In his pocket. Mr. Doughnrty was oueof the members anxiously watching for the committee which did not come. At last, growing desperate, some one called him aside and said: "Don, this wont da McMichael isnt bore, and somebody must say something. You're the only fellow who can do it, and you must." In vain Mr. Dougherty protested he was "totally unprepared," etc., etc, and beggod to be excused. "Mr. McMichael was ex pected to speak, and they ought to wait for him." He was pushed to tbe front and intro duced with: "Mr. President, you will be addressed on behalf the Union league of Philadelphia, by Mr. Daniel Dougherty." . Mr. Dougherty was absolutely trembling with stage fright, and his pallor was a sight to behold, but tfo made tbe speech, and Presi dent Lincoln said afterward that be had sel dom listened to such a torrent of oratory. "I have never overcome a droad of rising to address an audience, however small," sail Mr. Dougherty, a few days ego. "Even when 1 rise before a jury, I would feel grate ful if the floor would open and swallow me. I want to pit away. My Hps are dry, my hands tremble and I feel myself turn pale. After I gt started I iose myself in my sub ject. This feeling gradually wears away, and I soon forget these disagreeable symp toms in my absorption in the work before me." New York Star. Regulations on Danith Railways. Every one who has traveled in Denmark has noticed the enormous number of guard houses along tbe railroads, and tbe fact that women usually signal the trains. As a meas ure of economy man and wile are employed by tbe state, tbe former as track walker and the latter aa guard. The rules specify the re lationship to exist between these two classes of employes, and roles are made to be obeyed. When it happens that either dies tbe sur vivor has Just aix weeks in which to find another partner. Neglect to do so Is disobedience, punished with dismissal The employment of brother, sister or servant to fill the vacancy is not allowed. Tho guard or track walker must marry in six weeks or leave. A case of the kind occurred recently near the old town of Ribe, on the German frontier. The stricken widower petitioned tho government to allow him an extra week or two, alleging that his work of walking all day along the railroad track did not give Mm a chance to look far a wife, but his request was refused aa In Itself an Infraction of discipline. The hapless widower hod only six days of grace left, but ne aid not want to lose his job and went skirmishing with such energy that before the end of the fifth he had a new wife flagging the trains. Rehoboth Sunday Herald. An Cnormons Time Teller. Philadelphia will not be at a loss to learn the time of day or night after the bis: clock that is to ornament tbe tower of tbe public Dnucung is put into position. A person can form some idea of its Immensity when in fluential clockmakers say that it will take a whole calendar year to place the clock ma chinery in the tower after the building shall have been completed. The bell is to weigh between 20,000 and 5,000 pounds, second only in weight to tbe great Montreal cathe dral bell, which weighs 88,000 pounds, and its peelings are calculated to be heard even to the most distant parts of the city. Tbe West minster chimes will be used, ringing on the quarter, half, three-quarters and hour. The center of the dial (twenty-five feet to diame ter) will be 881 feet above the street. In or der to distinguish tbe time at night the dial win be illuminated by electricity, so that the position of the hands can be located from any point to the city. The minute hand is to be 12 feet and the hour hand 9 feet to length, while the Roman figures on tbe dial will each measure 2 f oet B Inches to length. A steam engine will be placed to tbe tower to wind up the giant timepiece each day. All to all, it will be an immense affair, and a fitting em blem to the giant building now in course of erection. Jeweler's Review. To Protest Musician' Fingers. A simple and inexpensive device for the protection ot the fingers of musicians while playing on stringed instruments, such as the guitar and harp, has been patented. It con sists of a curved strip of metal adapted to re ceive the end of tbe finger or thumb, and provided with a covering of leather or analogous material. To the outer surface of this covering is applied a mixture of Venice turpentine and piast pitch,' preferably mixed to about the proportions of three parts of turpentine and one of pitch, tbe design being to thus render the playing more comfortable and insure a more positive action of tbe finger upon the string. Kew York Home Journal.
