THE "PAUL PRY.”
How the First American Woman Editor
Brought Congressmen to Time.
Tho first woman editor in our country
and, perhaps, in the world, published a
paper in this city more than fifty years
ago, says the Washington Poxt. A few of
tho oldest inhabitants may perhaps re
momber her, but as this “chestnut” is so
old as to almost seem a nutmog, perhaps
it will be interesting to the majority of
our readers to hear something of this
strange and notorious woman.
Her name was Anna Royal, and she
lived in 1S34 on tho south side ot B street,
between First and Second east—the houses
wero not numbered in those days. Her
residence was a small frame house, with a
picket fence around it and hollyhocks
growing along the side of the walk ex
tending from the wicket gate to the door.
It is likely that her landlord failed to col
lect his rent for this elegant domicile, as
the directories of those days show that she
moved frequently.
This woman, whom even grave Senators
feared, was a tall, angular specimen, with
a masculine manner, and not unkindly
face. She was always arrayed in a clean
calico gown, fashioned with a remarkably
short waist, rejoicing in what was then
known as the “coflin-back” and confined
somewhere between the waist-line and
tho arm-pits by a cord and tassel, the
whole further embellished by perfectly
immense balloon sleeves. On her head
sne wore a cap, in the general style for
elderly ladies in those days, but hers was
a most overpowering cap, with a crown
towering above her head, making her tall
form look taller still, and a very full frill
framing her face.
She issued jfnall paper suggestively
named Paul Pry, in which she published,
with neither fear nor conscience, what
ever she listed. She was an immense lob
byist, and would tackle a Senator or Rep
resentative on the street or anywhere else,
take him by his unwilling arm and
proceed to business. And they not only
had to take her paper, advertise, etc., but
they had to put her bills through Congress,
too, for she was always well( stored with
rather odorous facts, which would go into
her paper “sure pop” if they did not.
mis. ±\oyai s paper vvas uuueu, pruuuu
and published at her own home, in the
shadow of the Capitol, and thence Sally,
her secretary, maid-of-all-work and fac
totum in general, sallied forth with a mar
ket-basket full on her arm to deliver to
her subscribers.
Mrs. Royal afterward took the rather
fanciful name, The Huntress, for her sheet;
suggested, probobly, by the blackmailing
style in which she hunted everybody down,
as the first name had indicated its prying
propensities.
Our Congressional Library is still en
riched by the rare specimens of both these
publications.

A GRIM BANKER.
Baron Heni'kstoin's Cheerful Family Col
leetion of Skeletons.
“Baron Henickstein was a banker in
Vienna, to whom I had a letter of intro
duction, said a lady to a correspondent of
the Cleveland I.rail r. “With some friends
I called upon him. He received us cor
dialljT. Wnon our business was complet
ed the Baron invited us to visit his pri
vate museum, which filled an upper floor
of the bank building. It had taken the
noble banker some fifty years to form
this collection of rare and valuablo an
tiquities. After making the tour of
the long ball the Baron drew
from his pocket a massive
iron key and unlocking the door at one end
beckoned us to follow him into a dimly
lighted room. On entering wo saw ranged
about it a series of tall and narrow ma
hogany wardrobes, the doors of which out
host rapidly threw open, disclosing to our
astonished gaze a grim and ghastly human
skeleton in each.
“‘Ladies,’ said this extraordinary man,
‘let mo introduce you to this select circle of
my intimate friends—friends, ladies, in
whom 1 confide all, and who reveal
nothing. Here is my beautiful Etulka,
the love of my youth, who cast aside her
flesh half a century ago and is still truo to
me. This is all that remains to me of old
Heinrich, the faithful cashier for forty
years of my father and myself. Enter and
fear nothing!’ And as much afraid
of refusing as to obey we passed the
box and found ourselves standing in a
close, cell-like apartment, hung with
heavy black draperies, and lavishly orna-'
mented with armorial hearings and nu
merous death’s heads and ciossbones.
Nearly filling the place was a huge casket
or coffin of ebony, lined with black velvet,
and arranged to receive a body; and on
the silver-plate attached to the'lid was in
scribed the Baron’s name and title, with a
blank space left for his ago and dato of
death. To the foot of the coffin was at
tached a parchment scroll, containing in
structions for (lie Baron’s funeral, in
which, among other stipulations, he di
rected that the horses attached to the
hearse should bo driven on a fast trot to a
tunc ho had his music-box play for us.”
MAD ROYALTY'S FREAKS.
Facts anti Anccd'tfrs Pliked Up by *
Wide-Awake American If. tlio Bavarian
Capital. j
A gentleman who recently arrived in
this city from Bavaria, where he made an
extended visit, tells some interesting
anecdotes of the mad King of Bavaria. To
a party of friends, who were sitting in tfie
Hoffman House cafe the other evening, ho
said, in the presence of a Now York Com
mercial Advertiser reporter: “King Otto,
aside from his mental ailment, is in a per
fect state of health, and liable to live for
many years to coma. Of large stature
and heavy build, guarded by every atten
tion that money can suggest and science
can invent, King Otto will probably out
live many aspirants for the throne. His
insanity is not inherited, the Munich peo
ple claim, but was caused by his excesses
in Italy, where he was taken when a
mere boy. On some points he is perfectly
sane and on others his mind is a total
blank. In one of his lucid 'moments the
news of his brother’s sad death reached
him. Ho understood the outcome of it,
and at once prepared to attend the funeral.
In another moment he had forgotten all
else save that he was King of Bavaria. By
his order placards were hung up in his
salon labeled ‘Utto, King of Bavaria,’ and,
summoning his attendants, formed them
into line, and as each i/i turn approached
him,with bonded knee ho would ask the
question: ‘Who am II’ ‘Your Majesty,
King of Bavaria,’ they would reply. This
would be his pleasure for hours at a time,
and for weeks ho was satisfied to think
himself a King. Much of his comfort was
due to King Ludwig, for despite his isola
tion from the world he never forgot his
monthly visits to his demented brother,
and every kindness was lavished upon
him that the King could devise.
“While the Bavarian people laugh at
the idiosyncrasies of Otto, it is with tears
in their eyes that they refer to the vaga
ries of Ludwig. Beloved by court and
peasant alike, there are many who will
not believe that theirISionareh was an im
becile. Eccentric, passionate, self-willed,
a King at eighteen years of age, he had
many iaiuts, out more arc tnose aoroaa
who will resent tho assertion that ho was
a lunatic. I was in Munich when he died,
and I can never forget the weeping men
and women who for days and nights
crowded the streets leading to the palace,
waiting to get one last look at his dead
face. Police were stationed in the public
resorts and hourly arrests were made of
those who publicly expressed a doubt of
the dead man’s sanity. Many amusing
stories are told of King Ludwig. In
early years one of his intimates was
Rhode, the notv celebrated German actor,
who was then the juvenile man at the
Court Theater. For a time they were in
separable until Rhode, in an unguarded
moment, forgot himself sufficiently to
clear his throat in his Majesty’s presence.
The next morning he received a note from
the King, in which he was requested to
call no more.
“Another odd friendship of Ludwig’s
was his fondness for Herr Keinz, a young
actor now playing in Berlin. Keinz wa3
for a time at the Munich Hof Theater.
While playing the character of Mortimer
in “Mary Stuart,” the King entered his
box, and was so much impressed with
the actor’s performance that he sum
moned him to his box. From their first
meeting dated a strong friendship, and
the actor became the King’s daily com
panion. While the King and the actor
were on a trip through Switzerland Lud
wig requested Keinz to acclaim for a
party of friends. This the actor refused
to do, as he was suffering from hoarseness.
‘I, as King, command you! There is no
refusal,’ said Ludwig. But the actor still
refused, and thus their friendship was
not only broken, but Keinz was banished.
He afterward attempted to publish the
letters which the King had written him,
but they were of such a nature that after
the first two had been printed their fur
ther publication was suppressed by the
Government. This action on the part of
Keinz reflected on him to such an extent
that he was expelled from the Bavarian
Court Theater.
“It is generally believed in Germany that
the great influence that Wagner exercised
over the King was not a beneficial one,
and his seclusion from the world began
when the ministry refused to sanction his
majesty’s building of an opera-house to bo
devoted exclusively to the representation
of Wagnerian music. When, finally, the
composer was banished from Munich, the
chagrin of the King was complete and he
refused longer to be met in public. Al
ways strange in his friendships, perhaps
the most peculiar was his strong attach
ment for his groom, whom he afterward
promoted to the position of secretary, and
upon whose counsel ho reposed the most
complete confidence. The ex-groom is now
residing in a handsome palace in Munich,
and is the owner of valuable property, the
gift of King Ludwig. A man of such ex
travagant tastes, it is to be wondered
at that the King’s debts did not exceed the
83,000,000 or $4,0;)0.0.X) that he owed. One
performance of “Theodora,” at which ho
constituted tho entire audience, cost him
§300,000. His favorite abode in winter was
what ho termed his winter garden. It was
here that the .swans and artificial moon,
which have since become so famous, were
piaceu. i ms garnen is now to uo sei in
the park at Munich. The contrasts be
tween his earlier palace at Starenberg
and his later ones at Linderhof and Lake
Chiem show liow much he changed
in later years. While the former
is fitted with becoming plainness and
simplicity, the others aro clothed with a
magnificence, perhaps, unparalleled any
whero in the world. WTith a fond
ness for mountains, his pal
aces are always sitilated in
view of towering peaks. A very striking
apartment at Lake Chiem is his sleeping
room, furnished in red satin, while every
article in the room is of solid gold, liy a
contrivance of shades there aro reflected
lights resembling the rays of the moon,
and the effect produced is wonderful.
Then comos the dining salon, with its sol
itary chair still in its place. In the center
of the room is a trap, such as are used on
the stage, and on this trap sits the table,
which is lowered at the King’s command
and sent up again fully stocked with eat
ables. At times he refused to see even his
servants. Latterly ho developed a great
liking for 9ausago and cognac, which
may have accounted for his increased
avoirdupois, which was over three hun
dred pounds. In the grand hall thero
wero over ten thousand wax candles,
which were lighted twice each day, fresh
ones being used at each lighting.”
Antiquity of la ad Pipe.
Although tha produc’non of load pipe
has commonly been regarded of quite
modern origin, there appears to be evi
dence that tho Romans were acquainted
with the articles, without, however, pos
sessing the appliances for fabricating any
thing of large dimensions or sufficiently
strong to withstand pressure from the
fountain head. In tho Chor/ hel Museum
is a piece of load piping made by rolling a
sheet of metal, turning tho edge? over,
and then running molten lead along tho
joints.
KILLED BY INDIANS.
One of the Mont Horrible In el dents Con
nected with Georgia’* Settlement.
In the parlor of the hotel in this old
town, writes a Watkinsville (fia.) cor
respondent of the Athens (Gra.) Banner,
there are two portraits--ono of a lovely
lady, the other of a courtly man in the
prime of life. In the background in the
latter picture are several hunters and a
pack of hounds, evidently expressive of
the taste of the subj >ct of the picture.
He dressed in the fashion of more than
half a century ago, with rulfled-bosom
shirt and stiff and cramped neckwear.
You could see, however, in the expres
sion of the face and the keen glance of
the eagle eye, courage and firmnesss—
—characteristics necessary in the pioneers
of our great country.
I was so impressed with the picture
that I felt there must bo a history con
nected with it, and called mine host, Dr.
Billups, into the room, when he sat down
and gave it to me.
“That,” he replied, “is a picture of my
father. Captain Bob Billups, while the
lady is my mother. My fa’her was massa
cred when I was ten years of age—in
1830—but I have vivid a recollection of
the horrible event as if it were but yes
terday.
“Massacred!” I exclaimed. “What do
you mean ?”
“He was killed by the Indians,” was the
reply, “at Sheppard’s Landing, on tho
Chattahoochee river. Wo were living in
Stewart County at that time. That sec
tion of our State, and also Alabama across
the river, was pretty thickly settlcd*by In
dians, but for a long time they had been
quiet. Then came the outbreak in ’36. that
resulted in the burning of Roanoke on the
Chattahoochee. Terror spread through
out the country, and then came to tho ears
of the \vhitos fresh stories of burnings
and deeds of bloodshed every day. My
father and all the other white men sent
their families out of danger. I have a dis
tinct recollection of my last parting with
him, and our journey. The burning of
Roanoke inflamed the whites so thorough
ly that every man who could shoulder a
gun took the held, or rather woods, for
the country was then a wilderness, to
punish the red devils. Mv father and
thirty-five other men became so infuriated
that they did not wait for the arrival of
the regular soldiers, but started out
with their shotguns and rifles to
trail and punish the Indians.
My father had considerable experi
ence in welfare, having been in the war of
1812 and also several Indian campaigns.
The party soon struck the trail of tho
savages, for the whole country was then
covered with a dense growth of rank
grass, and tho passage of «ny man or
animal through it left a plainly-defined
path. The Indians were h-ad..* \ down with
plunder, so they couldn’: iravel fast, and
the pursuers rapidly gaiue i mi t'.r m. The
whites were on hors d-ack and lad with
them enough provisions to last for several
days. In going down the (• 'orgia hank of
the Chattahoochee, they came t > a place
called Sheppard’s Landing. The river was
on one side, whi.e the other was one of
those impenetrable sw v or lag ions so
common in southvv ■■ < Vor-.ria. The point
of land bel weer. 1 t wo formed a penin
sula, with a very i. ■,,mv strip of firm
ground as a mouth. The rrail of savages
led into this tongue of la id, and there th3
gallant horsemen pushed. Captain Billups
advised his men to exorcise the greatest
caution, or they would be ambuscaded and
killed, but- as it was a volunteer force there
was no discipline among them. They had
every confidence in their prowess and the
greatest contempt for the Indians. So
they recklessly passed into the trap.
After riding a short distance, the party
dismounted and decided on a rest, as they
now thought that the enemy could not es
cape and they were thoroughly exhausted
with the long and fatiguing ride. Again
did Captain Billups beg his men not to
' sthp until a better place for defense was
reached, in the event that they were at
tacked. Ho explained to them that they
were in a most exposed locality, while all
around and in close rifle shot was a wil
derness from which it would be impossi
ble to dislodge an attacking enemy. But
the men ridiculed the idea of an attack,
and dismounted, took off the saddles
from their tired beasts, and were lolling
around the camp, some eating, laughing,
and chatting, while others were asleep.
In the meantime the stealthy savages were
preparing to slaughter the game that had
so innocently walked into the very trap
they had set for them. They crept back
to the point whore the whites had entered
the peninsula, and placed a strong guard
there that could not be forced. Others
then surrounded the camp of the whites,
hid in the swamps and behind trees, and,
at a signal, poured a most murderous and
galling fire into the ranks of the whites.
In an instant the wildest confusion
reigned. Several of C iptain Billups’ men
fell at the first fire. The others tried to
make barricades of their horses and re
turn the lire, but not an Indian con’d be
seen. The only signs of their p once
wore clouds of white smoko that came
from behind trees and bushes, then fol
lowed by the thud of the unerring bullet
as it struck sonic white man or beast.
Captain Billups made an attempt to lead
his men out of the trap, and, mounting
their horses, tried to force a passage
back to tho open land. But,
ns I statea, toe only point
of exit was now guarded hr savages, who
met the remnant of this doomed band of
whites with their war-whoops and a per
fect hail of bullets. Captain Billups soon
fell, shot dead in his tracks. This spot
then became a perfect slaughter-pen.
From their places of concealment the
Indians picked off-one by one of the whites
without sustaining any loss themselves.
Of this devote 1 hand only two or three
men escaped alive to toll tho story of th e
massacre, and to lead a company of sol
diers to the battle-ground, now strewn
with tho bodies of their comrades. Not an
Indian was to bo soon. After mutilating
the bodies of their victims they succeeded
in crossing the river, and escaped all pun
ishment. The bodies of Captain Billups
aud his men were buried in one grave.
Their fate was one of the most horrible in
cidents connected with the settlement of
Georgia.”

MANCOS CANYON RU1N3.
Discoveries Amrin; the Deserted Houses
of the Cliff-Dwellers.
There are thousands of cliff houses;
every available spot is covered with them,
says a Han Miguel (Col.) correspondent of
the Denver Tribuw, writing of relics found
in the Maneos canyon. They are more
numerous in the canyons running into the
main canyon than in the main canyon
itself. Home houses are so high and so built
to conform with the outline of the cliff as
to bq almost invisible. The buildings were
built for comfort; the ceilings are high
walls, are built of fine sandstone, plas
tered with gypsum, immense beds of which
can be found almost in any place in Houth
ern Colorado. Home of the rooms will
compare favorably with the best work of
to-day, though it has been thousands of
years since they were built. Many people
svho have never seen cliff houses have an
idea that the rock has been cut away by
human hands, but the hand of nature cut
out the ledges years ago, how, many men
can not conceive. The water cut away
the softer strata of sandstone, in some
places five feet, in others fifty feet, and
even more, and varying in depth, some
times' fifty feet back in under the over
hanging cliff. The roof and floor are of
solid sandstone. In some places the over
hanging cliff protects the buildings, so
that there has never a drop of rain or
flake of snow touched them. This ac
counts for the stato of preservation in
which they are found.
During my stay in the canyon I gathered
dozens, yes, hundreds of relics that would
have made the heart of an antiquarian
glad, but did not carry one away with me
when I left. I found many specimens of
pottery. Every thing from drinking cups
to water pots holding fifteen or twenty
gallons. The pottery is decorated in many
curious designs. In different ruins'I found
moccasins made from the leaves of the
soapweed. or Spanish bayonet, varying in
size from No. 0 to No. 9. In many places
the imprint ol a hand covered with
g3-psum can be found. The hands are all
small, though, from the moccasins, their
feet must have been those of average-size
people. I found a great many coils of
twine and pieces of rope made of fiber re
sembling hemp. The twine was not larger
than a large-size fishing line, and time has
not hurt it in the least, as it is so strong
that a man can not break it easily with
hare hands. The finest specimen I found
was a dress skirt made from feathers, or
rather from the down; the outside 4>f the
feather had been carefully plucked, the
down separated from the quill and care
fully wound around twine strings, anl
the whole worke 1 into a skirt-about two
feet in length. Ilcin g a man. I am at a loss
for words to describe this article of female
apparel, but should think that it required
not less than six months’ work to make it.
LIVERIED SERVANTS.
A New Craze which Adds to the Pictor
o.siiu°iiess of Now York Streets.
Blakely Hally writing in the Mail and
Express on fashionable fads, says that New
York is becoming a great, place for liver
ies and uniforms. Coachmen are clad
with a variety that is almost grotesque.
The best tailors make their coats, and
they often wear many hundreds of dollars’
worth of fur. The footmen hold their
positions solely by reason of their attrac
tive proportions and they are as fastidi
ous as dandies about their attire. A
woman of fashion who lives opposite mo
has about the most fetching thing in foot
men in town. He is English, about four
teen years old, with ruddy cheeks, big
gray eyes and an erect and easy
carriage. His mistress seems to take
special delight in his liveries. He has a
dozen of them, and all aro made by
the best tailor in New York. One morn
ing he followed his mistress to the car
riage clad in a green frock coat, corduroy
trousers, white duck overgaiters and
sharp-toed patent leather boots. Ho wore
the neatest of yellow kid gloves, a natty
beaver hat, and his shoulders wore cov
ered by a magnificent sealskin c apo. All
the coachmen in New York are in livery
now, and so are most of the hackmen.
The drivers of Fifth avenue stages wear
blue coats with yellow buttons, red col
lars and opera hats. The man who de
signed their liveries should he obliged to
wear one forever. ■ I can imagine no
greater punishment. Half of the errand
boys in town are known as “buttons,”
which means that they wear liveries cov
ered with brass buttons, and the messen
ger boys, park, city and district policemen
are all more or less showily attired. All
the conductors on the street and elevated
lines are in uniform, just as are the jan
itors of the big public buildings and the
porters in banks and important commer
cial houses. A man dressmaker on Fifth
avenue has three iittlo boys who are cla l
entirely in rod livery from head to feet.
They are all blondes and their yellow hair
is banged in front and falls to their shoul
ders behind. Besides all this, the streets
are filled with Mexicans. Indians and vis
iting delegations of foreign clubs. These,
with an occasional infusion of Arab pod
filers, Indian jugglers and immigrants
from all portions of the world, enhance
(he picturesqueness of the streets of New
York.
A FATHER’S HINT.
How Prof. White Was Induced to Com,
pete for a College Prize.
There is an excellent point for both
father and son in Dr. Andrew D. White’s
liccount of his early education in tha
forum. One day while at Yale he re
ceived a letter from his fattier asking
young White.to meet him in New York.
The son hastened to obey, and the father
took this way of givilig the boy a hint.
He had taken some of the literary prizes
while in college, and as ho was about to
return to New Haven, his father said:
‘•By the way, there is another prize, the
largest of all to bo competed for.”
“Yes,” the sou answered “the Do
Forest; but I stand little chance
of that; for, though I may be one
of the six Townsend prize-men admitted
to the competition, 1 here arc other speak
ers so much better that I have little hope
of taking it.” Ho gave the son rather a
scornful look and said very impressively:
“If I were one of the first six competitors
in a class of over a hundred men. 1 should
try very hard to bo the first one.” Ho said
nothing more, except good-bye. Young
"White went back to college, engaged an
elocutionist to givo him a course in vocal
gymnastics, developed a strong, rouud,
flexible voice, and d d his best,
which, in the competition with others
was considered to be the best, ef
fort of the six in oratory, and won the Dt
Forest prize. The story is characteristic
of the father and the son, an 1 reveals tha
secret of the success of tho lives of both.
Host college youth take tho bulls by tin
horns, but young White took the course
that meant success and won what lig
aimed to secure. He has won at the best
end all through his life. Tho incident was
one of the testing points of tho man. Tha
elder White knew where and how to ap
peal to his son’s ambition, and the son
knew how to take a hint and work it out
for all it was worth.
