32 CORPSE OF ,AX UNKNOWN OIRL IDEN
TIFIED.
SjK’ciaX XHnwtrh to 'I'M Chicaaa Tribune*
2snw Tour, Oct. £*.—Several weeks :»kv tho
* mutilated corpse of a 3'ouuff woman was found
ia a dismal swamp, near Freeport, 1,. I. This
discovery was made by a In 13* -who was on a
sbootiuff expedition. Tbo body was wrapped
carefully in two packages of newspapers linuly
bound together with stout cord*.; One package
*-on rained the head, whim bad been skillfully
covered from the trunk, while in tbo other,
pressed tniretber with similar care, were the
trunk and extremities. After a month of
doubt and prodtless speculation aud care
ful detective work tho mystery re
specting* rha Identity of the
has been cleared .away. Her identity has been
rstnblisiw'j beyond a reasonable doubt, as has
also the fact that ,
SHE IT AI» DEEN DECEIVED
and met her death, through the treatment of a
maJpraciidOQcr of this city, to whom she had
pone for aid ia her distress. Uis further prob
able that the effort? of tho police wilt result in
bringing ail the persons concerned in the affair
to justice, and that at least one of the principals,
T?ho has hitherto escaped punishment, although
bis arrests have been many, will receive his just
deserts under tho law. The dead girl was
an American by birth, and named Ella Clark,
Three’months before thei mutilated body was
discovered her brother had informed'Superin
tendent Walling that his sister had mysteriously
disappeared. She had been living in Slumlord,
Conn. After the discovery of the l»ody tho
brother went to Ft ceporr, examined tho skull,
and from the false teeth aud shred of hair pro-,
non need it that of his sister. Investigation bv
tbedetectivcs showed that a coachman in tho
service of the tamilj* in which the girt lived had
ingratiated himself Into her favor and ulti
mately
ACCOMPLISHED HER lU*LX.
The unfortunate girl endeavored to conceal her
act of folly, and finally, and probably- by the
coachman’s advice, determined to procure
medical aid. A quack advertisement that she
bad clipped from a New Vork paper was found
by hen employer afterwards, having accidentally
fallen from her i*ocko«book. out! it gave the clew
to herwhereabouts, after she had left Stamford
ostensible* on a three weeks’ vacation to visit
iter relatives in tins city. Simultaneously with
Jucrdeparture tne coachman gave notice that he
was going to leave, and greatly to the surprise
of the family ut once quitted their employment.
He has not since been seen, though bis myste
rious disappearance has since been fully c.x- .
plslned by the girl’s nuwise course after reach
ing New Vork. It is known Unit bens she sought
the asaistance 6f a notorious quack. It is be
lieved that . ,
hk killed her
"brills quack treatment, and then cut up her
remains. packed them in the manner in which
they were found, and caused them to be re
moved from the city m the bone it would never
be brought to, Jurht. This tuau is uow uuder the
constant surveillance of tho New York
polfoe. and his arrest on the charge
oT malnractlre is only n question of time. There
are witnesses who saw JJUie Clark on May :5. the
last day she was seen alive, and iheir evidence
brings home her u»*nih to tho quark physician’s
d *or. Jiow the body was removed from this city
Je still a mystery, tmding a parallel in its in
genious concernment ol clews only in the How
ard murder, wnere a burglar's dead tK>dy was
HID IN TDK 'WOODS OF YONKERS
Some years since so secretly that tbe perpe
trators of and accessories to the crime have
never yet been discovered. It Is known that the
remains after arriving in Freeport were carried
to their bidmsr place in the swamp in a wairou
nnd at oTjiht, hut how many persons were con
cerned iu ibis removal is not known. The
couch man is known and is carefullv watched by
the officials.

LATE CITY NEWS,

Henry A, I’erry, a felick young confidence
oaan. was arrested lust evening by lleieciivcs
Elliott and Wiley upon a warrant charging him
vritn obtaining money by l:ii*e pretenses.
The complmnnnc is « woman resid

or rather he made such pretensions, nnd again

1 jv, the duplicate of the others, tho
feicond time. The trick la an old-cue, and has
ot-en worked successfully by both male and fe
rnaie operators In this city for some years past,
it is asserted that many persons who have been
-k en * u Hiem have not yet discovered that
.hey were swindled, and are treasurizur up the
oheap paste diamonds as dearly as if they ,
were worth aU they paid for thorn, and more
too. Perry and some others In tho business
claim to work the fame so cleverly that they do
not make themselves criminally liable, but the
reputation of the prisoner In this case is tint to
go greatly against’him. He has given ball Tor
his appearance before ’ Justice Wallace at 2
o'clock Tuesday afternoon.
Foul M*iny Feared.
Mrs. Henrietta Kost, living in a shanty on
Loomis street, near Twentieth, was taken UI
suddenly while at supper at 10:30 Friday night,
and died before a physician could he sum
moned to attend her. Coroner .Matson
visited the house yesterday for the
purpose of holding au inquest, out
a child of tho deceased told him so strange a
story that he determined to thoroughly investi
gate tho case. Tho County Physician will there
fore make a post-mortem examination ibis
morning for the purpose of ascertaining exactly
the cause of death. The little one's story is
somewhat vague and imlctlnii. and is to the
effect that Mrs. Kost died of kicks or blows fu
the abdominal region intituled by some one in
the neighborhood. The manlier of the woman’s
demise would indicate, however, that there is
nothing In the child's story. It is worth tho
Coroner's while to investigate a little, however.

ENGLISH VIEW OF PARNELL
Tiic Lnttd .let Miottld Have a Fair
Trial.
London 3'tme*-, Drf.
From loop impunity many of Mr. Parnell's
’ friends had come to-.suppose that they might do
and say what they pleased, in the assurance
that too present Government would not venture
to question their conduct. The course of tho
chief agitators has hitherto been very smooth.
U was easy for patriot s, paid and unpaid, to be
brave and defiant in friendly meet tags, and
with tho .buzz of flatterers in their ears. A
few of the rank and tile might o<? imprisoned;,
but it seemed that the Government would not
dare to strike at the head and centre of
disaffection, .and’would meekly submit to see
woman
their authority contemned, thoir agents stoned,’
and their action practically stultified in every
barony, without lifting a finger against rbe arch
agitators. All these months of disturbance and
unrest, the crime? of midnight violence un
■punishedi the system of intimidation which has
been unchecked, and the lawless speeches which
have led to uo prosecutions, nave bred a spirit
of insolent confidence and contempt for a
long-suffering Government. And so the
loaders are indignant and surprised be
cause at the eleventh hour the authori
ties fulfill an elementary duty, aiid
take a step which most administrations would
iSve long ago adopted. The justice and
necessity of uie course are so plain that we can
not doubt Hint they will not be wholly denied
even by some of Mr. Parnell’s sympathizers.
The game which bo is playing is one in which
tbe stages are high, and in which the loser must
not murmur if he forfeits his liberty. He bus
persistently sought to weaken and discredit the
Government, and his latest endeavor has been
lo prevent the Iriso farmers from availing them
selves, except on bis terms, of the benefits of an
act which the Legislature-os'the United King
dom has bestowed upon them. Let him Ihj right
or wrong in his contention, it matters not; the
merits of Home-Kale or the defects of the J.and
. act are not now in question. The justification
of bis arrest Is that he sought to intimidate ten
ants and supersede or nullify the action of the
Government, Further indulgence on thoir parr
would have been inexcusable weakness. Mat
ters had cornu to such a puss that they and tho
Land League, as be construed us powers, could
not coexist. Some assertion or the might of the
law over the most daring of tho band of
I agitators was necessary if it was not to sink
I into universal contempt, and If the loyal part of
the population were not to be disheartened, and
were not gradually, in despair and by reason of
intimldanon. lo fall away from their allegiance
to the cause or.order. Mr. Dilion and Mr. Sex
ton have a right to say on every platform in
Ireland that the Land act dues not answer their
ideal, and to cast contumely on Mr. Gladstone,
its author. No Irish tanner can be compelled
to give the measure a fair trial. Gratitude
cannot be commanded. So reasonable person,
much accustomed unpolitical lilt*, will think
of complaining if all the labor spent upon the
Land act, the sacrifices by Kuglisbmen of cher
ished usages and established economic princi
ples, in order to meet fully aud generously the
wishes of Irish tenants, .arc forgotten. * But
when an association or a single person places
himself between tho Legislature and large
class& of the people of Ireland and Indies them
to resist. It is no time to hesitate «s to tho no
tion of the Executive. They were challenged
■ to a trial of strength, and they could not but
I respond in some such manner as they did.
1 The language used by some of tho organs and
Inends'of Mr. Parnell would be extremely
; arausmgcuuld we for a moment forget me grav
ity of tho occasion. They talk unctuously about
the immorality of mere physical force. They
affect to be shocked at tho •• outrage ” of send
ing any one to prison. It is violating ail re
straints of decency, it is cowardice, and we know
not vhat other forms of iniquirv, tor tho Gov
ernment of the land lo employ the force winch
they can command. The journal of tho Laud
League sees in the arrest “a brutal freak of
lyfauuy mid cowardice.” Thus Catiline might
revile sedition, and .luck Cade exalt the sacred
ness of the laws of property, and FaMulf cen
sure all boasters and cowards. For months the
enemies of order have freely resorted to intimi
dation and violence. Armed mobs havo.patroUed
not-a few districts. Lundy farmhouses have
been visited by night and the inmates have been
subjected to ill-treatment merely because they
had fallen under rbo bun of me league.
Cattle have been hamstrung, ricks burned,
landowners ana agents have been shot,
and the military and . police have
been openly resisted. Armed agitators—wc
might almost say insurgents—have had very
much their own way for months. Ituinow,
when a blow lii return is struck, tho erv is,
•* How shocking lo use physical force. Tho just
and moral leaguer, now as ever, relies solely
on the force of reason und justice.” Evidently
it is tho idea of some persons in Dublin and
elsewhere that iu their struggle with the Gov
ernment the knocks should be all on one side
and that the laitorare bound in honor to practice
rigid non-intervention; To do otherwise is
to make the flrH move towards n ** reign
of terror.” Not tho least remarkable aspect of
the present situation is the horror, real or af
fected, at the sight of a Government meeting
force with foice. It is hot unimportant to note
at this juncture that. In the north at all events,
the clTorts of rim league have not prevented
farmers from taking steps to avail themselves
of the new act. Tho Commissioners, it is stated,
have received a large number of applications
from tenants desirous of having their rents
fixed by the court. This is, no doubt, a hopeful
sign oi the times.

Qcikcv, 111., Oct. 29.—’The flood still holds'Hs
way here, growing daily, and dally increasing
tho destruction. Jt stands now nineteen feet
above low-water, and Is nearly stationary. Dur
ing last night the Sny Levee broke near the up
per end, and that district is now nil under water.
This has increased tho Hood east of Hannibal,
and connection with that place by tho Wabash
Hoad is interrupted. The only Wabash connec
tion from hero to Kansas City and tho West is
now via St. Louis. The Hannibal & St.
Joseph trains continue to nm. The oasseu
gcr going west this morning ran through
nearly a mile of water which
come up to tho middle stop of the sleeping-car.
The company is preparing to continue its
trains, eveu after the water shall have drowned
out the tiros in tho engines. The plan devised
is to remove the pile-driving machinery from a
heavy hat car which curries a stationary engine
geared to the trucks by cog-wheels, and use this
contrivance to draw trains over the submerged
track. By this means the traffic of this road,
which has not yet stopped, will , be continued.
Tho Indian Grove-drainage district is at last
ali under water, and this morning a
heavy current set in from that quarter to tho
head of Quincy Hay, supposed io be caused by
the yielding of another portion of the embank
ment. This current swept down the bay, carry
ing befoso it vastqimntitJcs or sawlogs and lum
ber, barges and small boats, and swept them
down the river. Steamers have been engaged
ail day in rescuing the lloatlug property, but a
considerable portion of it will be lost. Aside
from those new disasters tho situation is un
mapped. The freight blockade increases, and,
the packet companies’ wareuouses being no
longer habitable, largo quantities of goods lie 1
oh tho water-front, covered with tarpaulins,
awaiting shipment. Boars land with great dilU- '

This was what one of the Trustees Of tUo dis-

applied for tlio vacant post of teacher.
“Jyet me try. i knmv ram slender, but I am ,

“1 do,” said Harry,“and I’ll open next Mon- I

The notice was given, and there was a good •
dcnlofe.vciu-/nonrin and along- the i
* üba flats. More than fifty voting people of 1
iMjth sexes made an excuse to drop into tho i
tavern to get a sight of the fellow who thought *
he <nmld keep school in that district, and many :
a contemptuous glance fell on tho slender form
and youthful face of the would-be teacher. [
Eight o’clock on Monday morning came, and I
Harry hlotuc went down to the school-bouso

six balls in a spot not much larger than a dol

By this time the school-house was half full of
large boys and girls. The little oneswero afraid
to come in.
Then the teacher walked half way down tho
room, with a bowie-knife in his hand, and threw
it with so true a hand that it stuck, quivering,
In tao centre of the card.
• He left it there, and quietly put two more of
the sumo kind in his belt and reloaded bis yet

He spoke! to the cross-eyed boy, tho bully of
the crowd, and the bov rang the bell.
“The scholars will lake their seats; I open
school with a prayer,” he said, sternly, five
minutes later.
The scholars sat down silently, almost breath
less. After tho prayer the teacher cocked a re
volver and walked down on tho tloor.
“We will arrange tho classes,” ho said. “All
who can read, write, and spell, will rise. Of
them we will form the first class.”
Only six got up. He escorted them to upper
seats, and then ho began to examine tho rest.
A whisper was board behind him. In a second
he wheeled, revolver in hand
**No whispering allowed boro!” he thun
dered, and for an instant his revolver lay* on a
level with the cross-eyed boy’s bead.
“ i’ll not do so any’ more,” gasped tho bully.
“See you do not, 1 never give a second
warning.” said the teacher, and tho revolver
fell. .
It took two hours to organize the classes, but
when done they’ were all organized.
Then came recess. The teacher went out too,
for the room was crowded and hoi, A hawk
was circling overhead, high in the air, Tho
teacher drew his revolver, and the next second
tho hawk came tumbling down among tho won
dering scholars.
From that day’on Harry* kept school for two
years in Cranberry Gulch: his salary doubled
after tho first quarter, and his pupils learned
to love as well as lespect him, and tho revolvers
were out of sight within a month.
They had found a man nt last who could keep
school. This is a fact.
AMERICA AND IRELAND.
An UlsterErlftUniaii lo Washington In
1783—Oen. He ply.
Alb-mu (X. I'.) Jounm/.
Happening upon n tile of the Albany Gazette
for the year 17SJ and 1764, wo were forcibly re
minded ot the situation in Ireland during that
period, and even the meagre journalism of that
date furnishes many indications of the fraternal
relations which existed between the bald eagle
and the shamrock In those early days. How
many of our critical and learned subscribers cun
remember, if they ever heard, anythin? about the
correspoudenco between one Alexander David
son, County '.Tyrone, and Goorge Washington,
just after theclose of the Revolutionary war?
We fancy the letters that passed between these
gentlemen would not soon have been recalled
had it not been our good fortune to hit upon
them accidentally in this file of the Gazette be
fore us, which is, we believe, the only edition of
that year extant, as well as, for aught wo know,
tho.only place wherein the letters in miostion
aro preserved. We need not invito special at
tention to this most timely, high-minded, and
valuable correspondence, as subjoined below:
IRISH ADUUKSS.
Tollfs Usctllaicu (ieo/irc Washington, Eso. % Cnp
tain-Gcuoal and Couunaiuhr-in-Chief of hu' Ar
mies of tnc United States of JS'orUi America —Sm:
At an early period of the contest in which you
have been so gloriously engaged our .sentiments
met those of (bo Ahum leans, and. though we
long doubted the event, our warmest wishes
were on the side of freedom. Viewing with re
gret the oppressive scenes of misery under
which your native country has long
groaned without hopes of redress; und,
seeing the same direful principles
of despotic sway pervading all tho
courts und countries of the word, wo rejoiced to
hoar that tho spirit of America had risen supe
rior to the uroud menaces of both regal and
ministerial oppression, had thrown oil the gall
ing yoke of slavery, and nobly spurned the
letters that were lo bind her in all cases what
soever.
Tour situation compared to that of Great
Britain fur u long tiiuedamocned our hopes, and
caused many anxious tears. We could nut con
ceive bow an infant country, scarcely known hut
as an appendage to u great empire, unconnected
among themselves, unprovided for war and
without discipline, could cope with au ancient,
powerful, and victorious nation: nor was it less
difficult to imagine who would lead those unex
perienced though zealous bands to freedom and
independence against the artful manenvres of
experienced commanders and tho infernal
schemes of the selfish and disaffected. But when
we were informed that your Excellency, in obe
dience toyourcuunlry’scail,huduudertaken tho
arduous taf k, and nobly embarked in the sacred
cause of liberty, rejecting every emolument
which you migat in justice have claimed for
such signal and important services: such a sin
gular and disinterested conduct, as an happy
omen of American success, revived our expectn
tlonsand tilled uswithakina of veneration for
such a character; and when you astonished the
world by uniting tho jarring interests and opin
ions of thirteen different States, engaging by
your manly prudence and mild address tho af
fection ut foreigners from various notions of
Europe, and even forcing approbation trom the
callous hearts of your inveterate enemies;
your perseverance through tho darkest scenes
without dcspondcifce or murmuring, combat
ting every difficulty which Inclement seasons
and the wants of a bravo ‘and distressed army
could lay in your way. and at last rising victo
rious over the best appointed troops and Gen
eral? of high fatoe In the military line, wo were
lost in admiration of your wisdom, magnanimi
ty, and perseverance, which, by triumphing
over every danger, established the liberties'of
tho United states on the most honorable and
permanent basis.
Upon this happy revolution we have em
braced the first opportunity to convince von of
our unfeigned esteem and tho particular share
we rake in whatever tendsto the honor and hap
piness of North America. Your exertions have
not only vindicated tho freedom of your own
country, but have also shed their benign iofiu
ence on this distressed Kingdom of Ireland. To |
you, feii*. in the course of gracious Providence,
which iu a conspicuous manner has protected
your person and blessed your councils, do we
acknowledge ourselves Indebted for our late
happy deliverance from as baneful a
system of policy as ever disgraced the
riguts of mankind. With the slncercst
pleasure, therefore, we mention our congratu
lations on an event which ha? crowned America
with sovereignty and independence—blessings so
cnemial to the safotyund happiness of a people
—and humbly request that your Excellency will
permit us to express the joy we feel on the happy
return of peace, and tho slncercst wishes that
your country-may become more and more pros
perous, increase in lustre and glory, and subsist
to tlie latest ages.
And that you. sir, may live to enjoy the fruits
of your wisdom and magnanimity, to ben terror
to tyrants, and to shine forth as a glorious ex
ample or disinterested virtue, and future pa
triotism is, und will be, the constant praver of
your much obliged, most obedient, and* most

The generous indignation against tho foes of
the rights of human nature with which you seem

consonant lo the footings and principles of the
citizens of tho United states of America, not to
attract their veneration and esteem—did not tho
uireccioniuo and anxious concern with which
you regarded their struggle for freedom and in
dependence entitle you to their more particular
acknowledgments.
if in tba course of our successful contest any
good consequences have resulted to the op
pressed Kingdom of Ireland it will afford a new
source of felicitation to all who respect the In

I am now, gentlemen, to offer you my* best

At tho period when this Interesting correspond
ence took place Ireland was agitated with re
gard to questions that are again distracting that
unfortunate country.
I? gives edge room*sympathies today and en
ables us the boiler to appreciate the Irish situa
tion to look back at aomc. extracts which we
clip from the newspaper that furnished us the
above correspondence. To begin, we find copied
into the Gazette from the Dublin Journal,* under
date of Aug.-f, IS7I, tho following precious bit
of sarcarsm:
Happy nows for Irishmen! Since the infa
mous war instituted iu America to rob tho
people of their rights hns.bcen concluded agree

Quick Tannin" Process*
IHchromatc of potash appear* to bo coraimr
into use as a tannin# material- The action of
this chemical upon gelatine under the influence
of lipht is well Known, and is used in certain
photo-pnoting processes. Tho leather pre
pared by the use of the now material is known
as chrome. leather, ana front all accounts it ap*
pears to resist decay quite as well as leather
prepared by the Use of tannin from oak bark.
The chief gain of the process is a material short
ening of the time— good leather, it is said, being
obtained from raw bides in two weeks. No
change in the process seems to be introduced.
No intimation is given in the accounts of the
new process whether the leather. ttjhlle in the
bath of bichromate, is exposed to light or not.
The action of light upon the bichroynito when
combined with gelatine is to produce d harden
ing of tho gelatine, which causes ir to resist
water (this being the basis of photo-printing
processes), and us tho tanning Is a hardening of
the gelatine, it may be presumed that the hew
process is partly actinic.
AN ENGLISH APOLOG.
The Talc Which the London “Truth”
Think* Pic to Weave About the Prin
ces* Louise and Lord Lome.
Xno York irbrM.
Our English cousins are so fond of dwelling
upon tho personalities and malevolence of
American Journalism that it is worth while to
lay before our readers uu “apolog” which ap
peared in tho XiOiidoa Truth of Oct. 13, and
which is now stirring up naturally enough a
good deal of feeling and of comment both In En
gland and in Canada. Upon the very slender
thread of an old story about a romance of the
girlhood of the Princess Louise connecting her
name with that of the Uev, Mr. Duckworth, tho
tutor of her brother, I s riuco Leopold, the Lon
don Truth, it will be seen, has not scrupled to
construct a fabrication to which, so far as we
know, no parallel is to be found outside of tho
“ sensational journalism "of Paris. Were such
a liberty as this taken with the private life of
any person not of royal rank the least delicate
of readers oven in London would probably re
sent it as an outrage upon “ the social bond."
Miss Carry Loo was the prettiest among the
daughters of the widowed landlady who kept
the Crown and Sceptre Hotel. Windsor, but she
gave her good mother much cause lor concern
by falling in love with a curate named Duckio.
It was not that the landlady objected to curates
in a general way. She rather liked them in
their proper places—pulpits and tea-tables—and
she admitted that Mr. Duckie hud a* kind,
pleasant voice and dangerously soft eyes.
Hut Duckio was not rich in this world’s goods.
He had to see more closely after bis wash
ing bills than was compatible with the wearing
of tine linen, and as to sumptuous faro, why be
looked, said the landlady, **as if he would like
to go down on his bended knees and thunk bis
stars if you asked him to step in and cat a slice
oif tho Sunday joint.” -Of course, such Invita
tions were no. longer extended to tho reverend
gentleman -once Mrs. Loo perceived that her
daiiuhtecr.wus so happy in bis company.
Duckiu was kept at it distance. Doing bum
ble-minded, ho did not remonstrate against
his banishment, but- sighed plaintive
ly and ogled Miss Carry with doleful
glances when he saw her In church, all of which
made Miss Carry's blood boil with sympathy, for
she was a spirited maiden, who for. two p;us
would have eloped with Mr. Duckie and mar
ried him in private.. So far from huding. any
body disposed to offer her two pins for suoh a
purpose, she was much harassed hy (be super
vision of hoc mother, brothers, and married sis
ters, who would scarcely allow her to walk out
of their sight. So at length-Carry Loo re
belled, and talked boisterously about the
rights of damsels iu a fre« country. She threat
ened to retire into tho Protestant nunnery of
Glower, and when she had scattered suUicieut dis
may among her relatives by this hr-c menace, she
followed it up by the second, of turning Papist,
Mr. Duckie seemed to have loaded her up to the
muz7,sc with militant theology.
Tho good landlady of the Crown and Sceptre
felt sorely troubled. Hers was a Protestant
establishment; miuu but orthodox liquors were
sold there. If her daughter turned Papist her
customers would be quite likely to say that
the Jesuits paid her to poison her beer;
on tho other hand, she so strongly objected
to see her pretty daughter marry a poor
curate that rellectlon only hardened her the
more against Mr. Duckie. Under these per
plexlngcircumsianccs tho landlady consulted
her man of business. Mr. Dill,and a long-headed
Scotcnman named Mr. Mull, who supplied her
with her whiskies. Xow, Dill and Mull were
cronies, aud Mini had a son called Johnnie, who
was uwell-lavored young traveler in the whis
ky trade. Mnil had heard that Carry Loo had
a few hundred pounds of her own. and
would inherit a trille more at her moth
er’s death. Such money .would not have
lasted long, in the bands of an improvi
dent curate; but it would make a nice little
capital for a-pushing young man of business
lute Johnnie. Mull bethought bun coat his sou.
might do worse (hun marry Carry Loo, and he
ooinmuntcated bis idea to Mr. B It, who agreed.
Mrs. Loo was then sounded, aud declared that
tho arrangement was tnc nicest one imagina
ble. She had often seen Johnnie Mull, aud
thought him a comely, respectable lud. He whs
mu only a sarewd reckoner, but was of a. pious
turn, and had composed some psalm-tunes to
be played on the bagpipes-very suitable tunes
for performance on large mjorg, where there
was nobody within earshot.
Of course. Carry Loo guessed why Johunle
Mull was so cordially received on his next visit
to the Crown and Sceptre. Her mother wanted
her to marry this acute and good lad, and she
disliked him at first sight. Dut for all that she
did not intend to refuse him. Carry’s-vocation
for a cloistral life was much lt?ss strong than
bhe bad imagined; celibacy, indeed, whoa close
ly examined, was repugnant to her nature.
Carry was also displeased at the pusillanimity of
Mr. Duckie. If that ecclesiastic had rapped
at her chamber window in the dead of night and
had proposed that she should descend a ladder and
bib with him by the 2 a. m. train to Gretna
Green, she would have consented and would
have thought him a bold divine, worthy of a
girl’s love. Dut young ladiesgotnutof patience
with young clergymen woo snivel and mope
overmuch. Besides, Carry whs willing to marry
in order to be free, and she felt the moro dis
posed to accept Johnnie Mull as that young
man was by no means forward in making any
proposal. He often rubbed bis red poll with a
bewildered expression, as bo glanced at her
through the corners of bis eyes, and be seemed
to be conning over all the Scotch proverbs
which suggest caution in matrimony.
But Johnnie Mull was not allowed to manage
his affairs according to his own apprehensions
and antipathies, fur ho had to reckon with old
Mull and with Mr. Dill, the business man. Both
thoso elderly persons asked him whether he was
not ashamed of himself for hanging pack “like
it great gawK.’’ when he might have the prettiest
girl in Windsor for tho asking? Would it not
be a great thing for him to marry tho daughter
of Mrs, Loo, the landlady of such a re
nowned hotel as the Crown and Sceptre,
where Scotch whisky was always
in great demand? Johnnie admitted that
it would, and his natural truthfulness made him
owii that Carry Loo was a nice girl enough when
she looked pleased, and talked to him with ap
parent interest about tho hardships and emo
tions of a commercial traveler’s life. So, ouo
Sunday afternoon, when Gurry had been in a .
livelier mood tbnn usual, Johnnie plucked up
courage, and said, with a blush on bis rosy
cheeks:
“Eh, noo, will we twa got married?”
“Eli, noo, why not?” she answered with a
laugh: and so married they were six weeks aft
erwards at the Windsor church, with all the
pomp suitable to Carry's high rank in the world.
Them aro two ways of looking at marriage;
and Johnnie aud his wife soon placed them
selves on opposit standpoints for viewing that
nstitution. Johnnie wauled awil'e who could keep
house for him and enter actively into his busi
ness plans; Carry had married to get her liberty,
and her favorit occupation lay in encouraging
the assldulUosof the lesser clergy. She had re
ceived h good education, could slug and
paint cows and trees u little, and
chatter a pood deal. Her reilnemeut
was great, and she had some notions of
high art in connection with tca-cups and hair
dressing. She despised old Mull, and tho entire
family of Mnil. When any of her husband’s
relatives culled upon her she stickled for tho ob
servance of ciiquet until those unfortunates
writhed on their chairs as If. they were seated
on hot plates. Even her husband seemed a low
born Person in her sight, mid she failed point
times to remind him of his hurableorigln. When
flirting with curates and other idle young rueu,
as she loved to do, she alluded to Johnnie as if
he were a domestic, whoso business it whs to sup
ply her with the luxuries of life, and to nold his
tongue until he was spoken to.
One day Johnnie Mull received a very good
business offer. He was luv.ited to go and act as
manager to a prosperous hotel in America. Sal
ary high and everything found. As Carry was
the daughter of hotel proprietors, Johnnie
thought this would be just tho thing for her.
And Carry did condescend to cross the Atlantic,
but she carefully disabused her husband's mind
of the idea that ho hadj becomp her equal be
cause bo was ijomgto lord.lt over a hotel. It
was one thing to have a hotel of one’s own
and quite anolhor thing to manage other peo
ple’s property. Johnnie, who hart grown to be
very inueh afraid of his wife, acknowledged the
justice of ibis axiom, and felt proud when he
had at lust got bis wife on board the Atlantic
steamer. Carry, ot course, had a llm-closs
cabin, while Johnnie, from economical motives,
traveled as a steerage passenger. Ho used to
attend her with jugs and books when she took
her airings on, deck, aud it was generally sup
posed that he was her servant, so ho was, aud
very obedient.
Tho Grand Confederation Hotel, which John
nie Mull went to manage, was a much larger
house than the Crown ami Sceptre- of Windsor,
but, of course, in point of antiquity and pres
tige, it could notcompare with tho latter house;
and Carry Mp 11, once installed in her functions
ns landlady, lost i\o time iu letting her customers
know that she cumc from a great land, a great
hotel, and a great family, audwould not suffer
herself to be treated with familiarity, U is
not the custom of Americana to treat
ladies with deticieut respect, but much
as the gentlemen who resorted to toe
Confederation Hotel endeavored to please tho
English landlady, she was disgusted with their
manners, and plainly showed it. She thought
the Americans insufferably vulgar, and their
women still worse. She had a haughty wav ot
receiving tho lady, customers of tho house, as
though she did them a great honor iu pocket mg
their money, and she made a great many vexa
tious little rule* about wiping one’s boots on tho
door-mat, dining at table d’hOte in black coats
and not smoking In the passages, which
ruffled old habitues of the hotel and made
then grumble about taking their custom else
where. But impudence pays sometimes, and oy
dint of bar domineering Carry Mull certainly
did earn for the Confederation Hotel the repu
tation of a very decorously conducted estab
lishment. Nor did gray and ricn younff men
avoid it, for tbe good-looking* and sentimental
landlady was fond enough of being made love
to. She waived rules of eciquet in favor of ad
mirers who squeezed her hand and chucked her
under tbe chin in dark To do these
things was perfect too, according to her judg
ment. * '
So It came to puss that Johnnie Mull, who
worked like a head negro under his wife’s su
pervision, amassed some money In , the hotel,
and banded it over to Carry, wbo anuounced her
intention of spending it on a trip to England.
Johnnie was not prepared for this; but bis wife
cut short his expostulations by stamping her
foot. Tbe American climate did not suit her
health; she was subject to ueuralaia, and a dry
country like England, wnere it never ruins, is
notoriously propitious to complaints of
this class. Besides, sbo wanted to see her
family, and there was an end of it. John
nie Mull had nothing to say. He meekly accom
panied his wife to the steamboat, engaged for
her the best cabin, and, having recommended
her to the respectful attentions of tbe Captain,
returned to his hotel, where some witlings, wore
foolish enough to chaff him, saying: “Where’s
your lino wife Johnnie? Has she stepped it?"
Whatdld ;his mean? Why were they einiritiiml
ly bantering him about his line wife? Johnnie
Mull could not understand ft. The hotel cus-
tomers relapsed Into their old easy-going ways
after madam's departure, and, though there was
a good deal of talk about this lady, nobody
seemed particularly anxious to see her return.
As for Johnnie, ho wrote to her sometimes, but
got saint answers. Curry said that her neural
gia was till very bad. and she was taking care of
herself. Johnnie felt sure she would do that
and was in a manner comforted. Yet he did
think ft a little s’rango occasionally, when ho
found time to think on such it subject, that bis
wife should have married him apparently lor no
other purpose but to jive thousands of miles
away from him and to spend his money, for she
spent a good deal. Her neuralgia was altogether
a costly affair.
At last old Mull put his hand to paper and
wrote a grievous letter to bis son John. He had
beard great things of Carry’s goings on. he said.
She was going about tbe country like a tine
lady, living upon the best, and dressing as it
silks and satins cost sixpence a yard. She was
often to he seen’ with Mr. Duckie, whom
she invited to afternoon tea; but she bud
quite a string of other admirers, cbfctly
military, who smoked big cigars and did nut
scruple to wink at her iu public places, instead
of lifting their hats. All this, remarked old
Mult, did not tally with bis views of matrimonial
proprieties; ana he wound-up by asking bis son
John wtiat tbe latter meant to do.
Do? Why, first of all, Johnnie sent his wife
somo more money, because be U:ul just received
a note asking Imperiously for a remmit
tance. Afterwards he sat down to think, but
could make nothing: of bis rctlecuons beyond
this, that it was of not the slightest use
lor his wife to dirt with Mr. Duckio
and with the winking officers, seeing that she
whs married and could not consequently espouse
these gallants. This thougut put him Into a
proper philosophical mood, so that he rubbed
his hands. •* If she were not married it would
be a.different thing," be said to himself, “ but
all tho winking in the world won’t prevent her
from being still my wife. And as my wife she
owes me obedience, of course. Everybody
knows that."
Thereupon Johnnie posted bis remittance,
and he has been posting the same kind of things
at regular intervals over since.

The Palais Koynlo Is tho Parisian ilecca for
all Americans. ..Its brilliant shape, glittering
with diamonds and precious stones, are so many
shrines at wnlcb Americans are devout wor
shipers. They go there day after day, admiring
the bewildering display, and tho admira
tion excited by the wily shopkeeper
by bis skill in arranging bis costly
wares leads to purchasers that would
not otherwise have been made. * There is a fas
cination about a shop window literally tilled with
diamonds arranged by a Frenchman that is irre
sistible. and with hundreds of such windows ex
tending all the way around the immense court,
there is no escaping Its power. What a Parisian
shopkeeper doesn’t know about display isn’t
worth knowing. Ail Paris is arranged solely for
the eye. They goore the other senses to a very
great degree.
The galleries, four in number, extend entirely
a round tho square park, which is 257 yards long
and 110 wide. The Gulerie d* Orleans on the
south side is the most showy. It is :£0 feet long
and iOt* feet wide, tiankod with shops containing
line goods of all descriptions. The roof is glass
covered, and when lighted up at night presented
a dazzling appearance. It was on this site that
previous to ISSO stood the disreputable shops
unit gave the locality such an unsavory reputa
tion.
Tho other galleries, though not so fine In con
struction, are just as attractive, and their wide
pavements, shaded by the high balcony that
forms a part of the second-story, are thronged
day and night with strangers, to whom these
windows.'ablaze with the light of preeiousstoues.
are always a delight, it is a pleasure to saunter
slowly along and admire tho beauties that in
crease every minute.
Nowhere In the world can be found so great a
collection of gems in so smalt a space as rn these
four galleries. The fronts of the stores consist
of a huge plate-glass window and a small
door. Although disproportionate la size,
the window suffices to show the goods,
and the door is plenty large enough for
any one who wishes to enter. The Xren«h
inun has a natural love for the beautiful, and
the French jeweler shows a taste in the arrange
ment of his window. A large space covered
with diamonds, set and unset, of fine gold jew
elry, artistic designs In rubies,. pearls, opals, or
emeralds, is in itself a beautiful sight, but when
they are all arranged so as to show them all to
the best advantage, then theeffect is marvelous.
But there can bo too much of even a pood
thing. As a whole day spent among tho won
ders of the Louvre fatigue the mind ana bodj*,
so tho constant succession of dazzling windows
lo tho Palais Royal becomes after a while tire- 1
some, and tho pretty little park is sought for «
rest and refreshment. '
There the scene changes again, and a new and
Interesting phase of the Palais Koyal’s attrac
tions is scon. (Tndor the long rows of trees that ,
fringe tho busy galleries, are groups of women
enjoying tho cool breeze that just moves the 1
branches above them, and tempers the heat that
elsewhere is oppressive. They have some little
trilie of fancy work In their bands, and as thev
languidly ply tho needle they talk. It maybe
too warm to knit. It is never too warm to gos
sip.
Closely imitating: these are the mirse-dris,
who chatter away. like magpies, while their
charges are amusing themselves making pict
ures »n the mud. The youngsters romp and roll
about with all tho pleasure of childhood. They
don't--caro whether tho Palais Royal ever saw
bloodsheds and riots or nut. It makes a.good
playground for them, and that is all they want.
Then the concerts that arc given there Uurmg
tho afternoons enjoyable, and they always
attract large audiences. Tho entire space on
the south side is occupied by all kinds and con
ditions ot people, and, like all French assem
blages, it is quiet and orderly. The music, if
not of a high classical standard, is good, and
tbs people enjoy it. Given a little white tabic

another by no means unimportant feature, for
the average American is no less tomi of a good
dinner than the French bon rivant, and in these
pleasant places he can find the perfection of
good living. Tho skill of French cooks is ac
knowledged everywhere. Hero he is on his na
tive heath, and is seen, or lusted rather, to his
best advantage.
The clerk or bookkeeper whose salary is not
in keeping with his tastes takes bis modest din
ner in one of tho sccoud-lloor restaurants where
ho gets a small bottle ot claret and a well
cooked, well-served meal for two fnines. The
place is clean, the surroundings cheerful, a7id.
though there are none of those delicate trifles
tho French cook delights In making, there
is an abundance of hunger-satisfy-:
ing .viands prepared in a most ap
petizing manner, and thoy are to him better
than the delicacies that grace a more elaborate
table.
Tho more pretentious man, or tho one having
more money,- goes to more pretentious places,
and takes a dinner of several courses for live
francs. There is a pleasing variety of soup.tlsb,
and entries, with a dessert, and, if desired,
coffee and cognac afterward, all prepared in
good style and well served.
Rut the thoroughly good liver goes to none of
these. Hs knows the places, there in the Palais

the J’ahtls is always full. Ah a pack it is delight
ful, the shops arc Just as attractive to the citi
zen as to the stranger, for the windows change
contents every day. and the variety is such that
something new and atirActive can be seen at
any time. It is a small world by itself, ana It 53
no wonder that every American finds him or

SHAKING HANDS.
Rigid and Wrong: Way* of Perform*
lug anluipuriaid Social Function.
• C/biu o} Fashion*
Let the reader remember that there 19 a
right and wrong way of hand-shaking.
It is horrible when your unoffending digits
are seized In the sharp compress of a kind of
vise, ana wrung and squeezed until you feel
as if they were reduced to jelly., It is apt
less horrible when you find them lying In a
limp, nerveless clasp, which makes no re
sponse to your hearty greeting, but chills
you like a lump of ice. Shake hands as if
you meant it, swiftly, strenously, and courte
ously, neither using an undue pressure nor
failing wholly supine. You may judge of
the character of a man from the way in
w&ich he shakes hands;.there is the shake
lymphatic, the shake aggressive, the shake
supercilious, the shake imperative, the shake
suspicious, the shake sympathetic, and the
shake emotional. Charles Lamb describes
also f the pumo-liandle shake, which is ex
ecuted by taking a friend ’s hand and work
ing it up and down, through an arc of fifty
degrees, for about a minute and a half. .
“To show Us nature, force, and character,
tins shrike should be performed with a firm
and steady motion. !No attempt should be
made to give it grace and still less variety,
as the few instances in which, the latter has
been tried have uniformly resulted hi dislo
cating the shoulder of the person on whom
it has been attempted. On the contrary* per*
sons who are partial to the pump-hamlis
shake should be at some pains to give an
agreeable, tranquil movement to the opera- *
tion, which should on no account oecon- t
tinned after perspiration on the part of your I
friend has commenced. ” Then there is the i
pendulum shake which somewhat resembles I
the former; hut as its name implies, tiia
movement is in a horizontal instead of a
perpendicular direction. “It is executed by •
sweeping your hand horizonijdly,toward
your friend's, am) after the junction Is effect
ed moving with it from one side to the other
according to the pleasure of the parties/ 2vor
must the Umni‘muet shake be forgotten,
which derives its name from the Instru
ment employed by surreons to stop the cir
culation of the blood in a limb about to M
amputated. You grasp the band of your
friend as far as you can in your own, and fj
then contract the muscles of your rhumb, ■
fingers and palm till you have Induced any ■
degree of compression you may propo?ein p
the hand of your friend. 'Particular care ■
ought to be taken, if your hand be hard and B
bigaml that of your friend small and soft as B
a maiden’s, not to make use of the foiinn* E
r/net shake to such a degree that it will crash E
the small bones of the wrist out of their , s
places. It is seldom safe to apply it to gouty g
or hot-tempered persons. . g
You will see some persons thrust forta pfi
their hand with a sudden jerk like that of a g
steam engine suddenly set in motion: aim w, g
they have taken possession of your own aim, g
are doing with it us they will, before yoa g
have recovered breath. Others put forward m
their lingers with an'apparent timidity or
reluctance, ami compel-you to pounce upon • ■
Uiem and draw them toward yon. in order to
perform an effective shake. -Others, again,
extend their hand timidly, partly with
draw-it, and again extend it, until
are uncertain whether or no lbs act pi
Jiand-sbaking will be performed after au. »
As for t!ie cold-blooded creatures who aii=- g
lemly oiler one or two lingers, I rccoimnenu
you to ignore them; look loftily over them
as if unconscious .of their existence and
—their fingers. JJnt when a lady (and more
particularly a fair one) docs you the honor
to offer iu-r hand, take it with an air of grate
ful deference which will show how you at£
predate the honor; do not drop it insta/ioy
as if the touch scared you, nor hold it so v'
long us to cause her a feeling of •
easiness. * 1 .s
