Concerning the masonic emblems on the Needle, about which there has been so much controversy, Mr.

Davis writes as follow: The masonic emblems, about which there has been so much controversy through the papers, are, without doubt, genuine. You will see that the foundation i composed of three steps, the mystic number in masonry, and inside of these steps was found the square which is of granite the same as the obelisk; also the perfect ashler and the rough ashler, they are granite; the lamb skin is of the whitest of marble; the square and perfect ashler are polishe the trowel is perfect in shape although rather rusty, the stops are limestone that has evidently been subjected to volcanic action at some period of the world as they are very hard and take a Hue polish. Mr. S. A.

Zola, the grand master of the grand lodge of Egypt, says there is no doubt of their being purely masonic, and he is considered the best authority in Egypt. Mr. Davis enclosed with his lettor a number of photographs taken at various stages of the work of removal which give a very accurate idea of the methods employed. A'cic London Telegram.

Terrible Adventure with a Rear. On Saturday, May fetli, Hannibal Itoe, the best known hunter in Montana, met with an adventure which maimed him for life. While he was walking in a small gulch, and just as be had turned a point of rocks which protruded abruptly from the mountiin side, he received upon the left side of his head and face a stunning blow from the paw of an immense she bear, which was lying in wait for him on the other side of the rocks. Th9 blow knocked Koe down and caused him to lose possession of his gun, which was the only weapon he had with him, and at the same instant the infuriated beast throwing herself upon her astonished, disarmed and wounded victim, the man aud bear were pre cipitated together about hi teen Ieet down the steep bank to the bed of the gulch. Having nothiug tj defend himself with lioe quickly determined to play the dead man," and turning upon his face feigned unconsciousness through one of the most trying ordeals ever experienced by a human being.

The bear evidently concluded that if her prey was dead he had been killed bv her own strong paws, and began her feast. Begining upon his head she literally tore the man's scalp to shreds, leaving it iu a condition horrible to look at. tie says he could both hear and feel her teeth grating upon his skull. She then began upou his left shoulder, iufiictiag there a ghastly and dangerous wound, and bit nim in several places upon nis left arm side and back as far down as the hip. Just as she had driven her teeth into the hip and was doubtless upon the point of in flicting such wounds as would have caused instant death, one of her cubs raised a cry distress.

It was at this point that Mr. Boe's play of "dead man," which had hitherto seemed so unavailing, was of great service him. The bear evidently thought her victim dead, and, leaving him, hastened to the relief of her young, intending, it is sup- sosed, to finish her meal at pleasure, Though bru.s'd, mangled and fatigued his scalp a bleeding mass of torn Hash aud matted hair hanging about his brow, his left cheek and ear torn off until they hung at his side by but a slender strip, his cheekoone broken, his skull fractured above the eye, his snoulder. arm and side badly injured, he nevertheless summoned sufficient strength to rise und get away before his antagonist arrived. He was brought by some fellow-hunters to St.

Hagen has found in a Bernese Mb. of the tenth cen tury the following epigrrfm: Octaviani Augusti. Tetricas hodte secludite Curas! Ne maculent niveum nubila corda diem Omnia solhcitte pellantur murmura mentis, Ut vacet indomitum pectus amicilia? Non eern per gaudere licet; fugit horal Jocemur! Difficile est Fatis aubripuisae diem. It is given in tironic notes, a sort of ancient stenography, and is supposed to be addressed to Maecenas, Virgil, Horace and Yarius. A rough translation might be as follows: "'Com panions, banish to-day all dismal cares; let not a gloomy heart darken this bright day hence all.

messages of the restless mind open your soul to friendship alone. We can not always rejoice. Time hurries on. Make merry, hard though it be to rob the fates of a day." Suetonius and Martial mention that the Emperor Augustus was the author, of several epigrams of which the above is sup posed to De one. SJeff erson Davis's plantation at Hurricane, is leased by a firm composed of four negroes, who were formerly bv brother of the ex-President of the Confederacy.

They own plantations worth $75,000, hire several more, and do a large mercantile business at ickaburg, Miss. at of of is the on or a jured. Mr. J. Waite, contractor, had 8,000 sewiog machine parts and 1,000 bicycle parts In the burned portion, but these were not much damaged.

Nearly all the expensive pens of the machines were got out while the fire was in progress. The neams ol the ceiling or the room were charred, but not badly as to interfere with the use of thn shafting-. All the machinery will be in running order to-day, and in the blacksmith shop there was no interruption of worn. The damage to the building and machinery will not, it is estimated, greatly exceed $3,000, and is fully covered by insurance in several manufacturers' mutual companies in Boston and Providence. The aggregate insurance ou the establishment is Adjusters were on the ground yesterday and will send appiaisars at ouca.

To the sharp, effective work of the fire department is attributable ths escape of tha compauy from the heavy loss which would have occurred had the Haines reached the main building. The building is well supplied with stand pipe by which the Honrs may be speedily flooded, but the watchman, iu the excitement of the moniunt, did not utilixe tlieiu. It is not yet clear how the fire originated, but it is possible that it was from sparks from the Dues. The watchman savs that he first scented smoke in the milling room in passing through it ou his regular round. He could discover no fire there nor in the blacksmith shop.

Returning to the milling room he found the ceiling ahlaxe. fortunately ou Moudav night last a large quantity of parts of bicycles had been finished and run out into the polishing room, and dur ing the week before, several thousand seta of sewing machiue castings had been takeu into the japauning room, lherefore, the produc tion of the Weed machiues will not be interfered with at all, uur will the biovcle product tion be seriously retarded. Twenty one hundred sets of the Weed machine castings had been taken into the room where the fire occurred, but they were uninjured except by a slight rust. Ihe Hartford screw company building adjoining, receives power from the Weed company's factory, aud its employes were obliged to suspend work yesterday, aa ths screw machines were left without motive power. A heavy force of men was promptly set at work clearing aw ay the debris, and the damages will be fully repaired within a week or davs.

As soon as the gates were opened and those on board poured up the dock, those who were watching for expected friends made a rush to examine and peer into their faces. As they found that those they were in search of were safe and uninjured, their joy knew no bounds.

Wives fell upon the necks of their husbands, and in a flood of tears gave vent to the joy which could not be expressed by words. A pretty German matron, whose daughter was on the train, ran hither and thither, exclaiming, "My poor fraulein, my poor fraulein; where is my frauleint" At last, as the sought-for daughter made her appearance borne upon the shoulders of two stalwart riflemen, she shrieked aloud, and sought to take her arm. "I am not hurt, ma; don't cry. I am not hurt," fobbed the poor girl, whose leg had been fractured. Then came a core or more of men limping along or assisted by friends; here limped a woman, leaning upon the arm of her husband; then came a half-dozen members of the rillas more or less injured.

"Make room there make room!" shouted a hoarse voice, and a large black wagon rattled through the gate. It was th. "death wagon," and came to receive the bodies of those who had died on the train. The two unfortunates were rolled oil from the boat upon the baggage track, the form of each covered with a coarse blanket, through the folds of which was visible the dark and clotted fluid which was once their life-blood. As the last group left the ferry-house the dawn was breaking, and while many a heart went away heavy and sore, there was many a home made glad by the coming of tho-e for whose safety there had been fear aud trepidation.

NATHAN HALE AT VALE. The following is extracted from Mr. Henry P. Johnston's very interesting sketch of Nathan Haie in Harper's Monthly for June: Nathan Hale needs no scenic association to lift him into notice. His name shines with is own brightness.

From what we know to him and that is not a little his entire life, short as it was. appears to have been a noble development, his eariy training and surroundings being of the kind which contribute much to the building up of characters like his. The little village of Coventry, Connecticut, twenty miles west of Hartford, was his birthplace the date of his birth June C-h, 1755. Ilia father, Richard Hale, represented the second or third generation of an old New England family. We may call him a typical farmer, townsman, and deacon of the former century, who took more interest in his colony than the mother country, and who brought up his sons under the strictest convictions of duty.

In time Nat han and his elder brother, Enoch, were sent to Yale college, where they both entered the class of 1773. The former was but fourteen years of age. Not so surprising, then, that their father, as we find in some of his unpublished gtters still preserved, should address them, even in Sophomore year, perhaps later, as "Dear Children." As such he bade them in the kindest terms to study well, "mind the orders of college," and attend to the duties of religion. Here young Hale came iu contact with congenial fellow -students, whose acquaintance he kept fresh by correspondence as long as he lived. His intercourse with them no doubt helped to develop his manlier qualities, and matured and corrected his judgment.

That there were kindred spirits among his classmates would appear from the good proportion of their number who were afterward led by common impulse to engage in the Revolutionary struggle. Of Hale's class at least half a dozen served long and well. There was Benjamin Tal-Imadge, of Litchfisld, the quite famous major of dragoons, who figures in more than one spirited scene of the Revolution. No one familiar with that period need be told who he was. Another, Uaptain iLzra faeldeu, ot Lyme, one of Wayne's Stony Point heroes; another, Captain James Hilihouse, who so gallantly led a party of volunteers against the British in their raid upon New Haven iu 17i9; aud still another was Major John Palsgrave Wyllys, of Hartford, Hale's early correspondent, who gave fifteen years to the service of the country eight in the revolution and seven after until he fell, with a handful of regulars, in Harmar'a Indian de feat on the Miami in 171)0.

Probably, too, Hale was acquainted while in college with such men as Colonel David Humphreys; Colonel John Brown (a noble spirit, who like Wyihs met his fate in an ambu.h but ten years before, at Ston Arabia); Colonels Inaac Sherman and Eb-enezer Huntiugton; Captains Richard Sill. Roger Alden, and Joseph Walker, aides to Stirling, hunttngtan, aud Parsons; and, among others, Captains Roger Welles, Samuel Barker, James Morris, and the two sous of President Daggett, all light-infantry officers under Washington. These young collegians no doubt conducted themselves with credit and honor, and had Hale been spared for a similar career, we can easily imagine him returning from the war, like them, with well earned laurels. But he was reserved for something mere than service: it fell to him to exhibit devotion to his country of the higest possible order. Uoon graduation bale taugbt school, lirst at Moodus, in thelown of East Haddam, and then at New London.

A venerabie lady at the former place remembsred him long alter. "Evervbody loved nun," she said," he was so sprightly, ana kind, so band-some." Describing his personal appearance, his biographer gives him a well-proportioned figure, full of suppleness ana strength, a broad chest, open face, light blue eyes, light rosy complexion, and hajr ot a medium brown. At leaping he was without an equal among his companions. It was while teaching at new London mat he took the step which led to the bright fame he has left. Evidently he had been watch-ieg the progress of the dispute with Great Britain, and already had his colonial sym- oathies deedly aroused.

As early as Novem ber. 1774, he writes, in an unpublished letter, that although as yet the'N'ow -Londoners had no erected a liberty-pole, they were all full of spirit. Under such circumstances his own course was not likely to remain long undecid ed, after the emergency bad once arisen. Certainly he showed no hesitation as to his duty when the Lexington alarm startled the country. It seems to De wen authenticated that when the news reached New London, and a town-meeting was called.

Hale not only attended, but made a vigorous speech. Let us march immediately, ana nevbr lay down our arms until we obtain our indepen dence, was one of his reported expressions. So he foresaw what many others were un willing: to admit at that date, that the strug gle, once begun, meant final senaration from the mother country. Following up- this patriotic declaration, the young schoolmaster closed his school, and enrolled as a volunteer in the general posse that hurried oil from all nuarters toward Boston. tie returned snortiv after, but only to remain a few weeks, as he had finally accepted an appointment as lieutenant a new regiment then forming, to be commanded bv Colonel Charles Webb, of Stamford It was a tearful hour, we are told, when he broke up his school forever.

separating from patrons and scholars bv whom he was respected ana loved, and postponing his own and his father's cherished plans ot studying tor tne ministry; nut wnat inner strength of heart and cheerfulness must have buoyed him up as he went out to do what he felt the times required ot him The late Mr. I. W. Stuart, of Hartford, some years ago wrote a btograpny oi naie, in wnicn ne included the results of a lone; search for authentic in' formation. The little work coataina quite a com' plete history of the subject.

Davis, of Noank, who accompanied the party which has gone to Alexandria, Egypt, for the purpose of removing Cleopa tra's Needle to New York. Mr. Davis acts in I the capacity of superintendent of construe tion. Writing from Alexandria under date of May 11th, Mr. Davis says that the original plan was to move the obelisk through the citv of Alexandria on a truck which was brought from America for that purpose.

The authorities, however, would not permit this. fearing that it would damage the sewers. was then determined to build a float and I lower the Needle into it.

After the obelisk was launched, the wavs were reconstructed and a barge hauled out on which was placed the pedestal and foundation stones.

The pe destal was on board the ship at the date of Mr. Davis's letter. It weighed forty-four tons and was hoisted and lowered by means of derricks. Mr. Davis enclosed a rough sketch of the obelisk, as it was found on the arrival of the party, which shows that the earth had of FRANKLIN HALL, THOMPSONVIILK, CONN.

AC- Train It an. Away on a Steep Orade. Late California papers bring full reports of the accident that occurred on the South Pacific railroad on Sunday, May, 23d by which sixteen people were killed outright and many others injured. A tram, consisting of an engine and three flat cars, left the Big Grove at 3:30 P. taking from 125 to 300 passengers, for a run down to.

Santa Cruz, appears that there were about 1,000 people in the grove, most of whom had come down to spend the day, the occasion being the annual excursion of the Independent hiilos of San Francisco. The excursion train was composed of Sauta Cruz people returning home and San Francisco excursionists who concluded to go down and get a glimpse of Santa Cruz, and then return to the grove in time to take the regular excursion train homeward. The train was drawn by engine No. 3, and Robt. Elliott was at the throttle.

All went well until tunnel Mo. 7 was passed. This tunnel is 300 feet long, and is situated just above and overlooking the powder works. As the train emerged from the tunnel, the speed was noticed to increase perceptibly, and as there is a heavy grade at that point, the cars were soon moviug with great rapidity. Just after leaving the tunnel there, is a sharp curve in the road, and as the centre of the arc of this was reached, the forward car jumped the track to the left, and the second car jumped to the right, the third car re-maiuing on the track.

The occupants of the two forward cars were hurled in a confused mass to either side of the road, or fell upon the track. The rear car, which remained upon the track, continued on like the car of Juggernaut, running over and maiming and mangling the bodies of those who lay upon and between the tracks, and was only stopped by the resistance offered bv the bodies of the unfortunate passengers. Those who chanced to be upon the rear car were uninjured, only being thrown from their seats by the shock. 1 hese at once set jo work to otter assistance to their Buttering fellows. The sight which was to ba met with five miuutes after the disaster occurred was one that would sadden the hardest heart.

Men crawling along, dragging a mangled and useless limb after them, sought to lind among the mass of writhing, moaning and shrieking humanity, tiie form of some re lative or menu. Here a woman, nan de nuded of her clothing, with still enough of lite left to know nor situation, sought, shelter beneath the skirts of a dead body: there a wife, with her face covered with blood, held in her lap the lifeless body of her husband. Little children were running about looking for father or mother who might never speak again, iiiose wno witnessed tne signt never will forget it. Ihe engineer, it. J.

Elliott, gives the follow ing story of the accident. The train left Big Trees on time, and ran to the summit on time. The train had passed the summit five hundred feet when he shut off steam and let the train run on its own momentum. The grade at this point is lUl4 feet to the mile. The curvature at the place of the accident was sixteen degrees, ihe speed of the train increased somewhat, aud after passing through tunnel No.

7 he whistled for brakes, there being no, air brakes on the flat cars. About otxi leec iurtuer on ne wnisciea lor brakes again. The train was going at about 20 miles an hour at this time, not an extraordinary rate of speed. Elliott seemed to feel a lift of bis engine, and be reversed and and put steam on the reverse. At this time they were passing a spot where there is a steep bank close to the track on one side and a declivity of a short distance on the other.

The wheels of the first car jumped the track on the bank side and pulled the other cars after it The excitement on the cars was great. Some were thrown ott the train, but mianv jumped off on the bank side, and fell down undor the wheels, llie cars were dragged twentv-four feet from the place they left the track, from the marks of the wheels on the ties. Ihe cars all went oa on the baukside, and from this, meeting a reverse turn in the track, jumped over the rails to the other side. The curves at this place are shaped. There were about lw people on the tram, a very heavy load.

The desire for fi'thy lucre overcame pain and even fear of death. In one case, while two of 'he wounded were lying on the ground, one whose wounds were not so serious as the other reached out and put his hand in the other's pocket. The victim, though too weak to move, had com mand of bis voice, aud spoke to some one near, who pulled away the wretch hand, in which his purse was found, following the story of Howard Antrim who was in the cab with the engineer at the time of the death-bearing accident. Mr. Antrim is a civil engineer by profession, but accepted a position as brakesman on the South Pacific Coast road; his uncle being President ot the company.

He ran on the local tram between this citv and Felton and the Big Trees. He states that Mr. Walker, the train dispatcher of the road, whose headquarters are in Oak land, telegraphed from there on Sunday last to send Elliott on the engine, Bones as Con ductor and McLean as brakesman of the train. Antrim gives as a reason for this an excur sion train of fifteen cars was to leave here on Sunday afternoon for San Francisco. This would require three large engines to take the summit.

The engine used on the regular local Felton and Big Tree train wag a small 12-ton machine, while the one which Elliott ran, and which wag up the road some dis tance, was a massive dO-ton engine. Ihe train dispatcher thought it necessary to use the large engine to assist is pushing the ex cursion np the grade, and was reluctant to Jl la. I TI 1 i send it here empty.

For the past twenty years was afflicted with Catarrh, which affected my throat to such an extent as to make my life a misery. would ake up at night with a sense of guf-1 focatiun, as though some one was strangling expecting every moment to be my last.

suffering was so severe that I was afraid to to bed, and often did not dare to. Ten years ago my hearing became also paired from the effects of catarrh and gradually grew so bad that of late it quite difficult for me to hear. Two months go 1 placed myself under Dr. light- mil's care, and the result of his treatment been truly wonderful. The trouble in my throat is completely removed, I sleep and breathe as comfortable as a baby, my hear is restored, and my health has so much improved that I feel lil a new man.

In fact such a change for better has been wrought in my case that I thank God daily from the bottom of my heart, for bringing Dr. Lighthill to Hartford, and for directing to him. I am 64 years of age, and have lived in Hartford county nearly all my life, and if the blessing and prayers of an old man, are of any avail, the happiness and prosperity of Dr. Lighthill is assured. RICHARD CASE.

Clark. Hartford, Feb. 18th, 1880. It affords me great pleasure to add my testi mony to that of others in favor of Dr. Light-hill's success in the cure of catarrh.

His treatment of my wife has proved so beneficial that I cheerfully recommend him to the confi dence of the afflicted. The catarrh in the case of my wife was of long standing and in worst form, against which many remedies hud oee tried in vain. The very first treat- nient by Dr. Lighthill permanently removed some of the most troublesome fea tures and the result ever since has been of the most ratifyjng character. Our people may congratulate themselves on having at their command the services of a physician so skillful as Dr.

Lighthill in the treatment of that troublesome disease, catarrh. D. J. CLARK, Cure of Deafness Of VV. J.

Tn the course of mv experience I have seen good deal of physicians and medical practice, but I must confess that your method of treatment for Catarrh is superior to anything that has yet come under my observation, and in fact is so rational and effective that it must commend itself at once to every unprejudiced mind.

The exercises, which occupied rather more than an In ur, were made up of speaking aud singing pleasing variety. There were several songs by the class in concert, and about twenty short recitations, which were excellently rendered. The little dialogue in costume be tween Grandpa and "Grandma" was evi dently a special favorite with the children themselves, to judge by the demonstrations from behind the curtain. The boys of the class gave a piece called "The Workers," in which each spoke a few lines appropriate to some trade, and six little girls followed with a dialogue of similar character entitled "Which is Best!" The selections were of a cheerful tone throughout, and the audience appeared to be highly pleased with the whole entertainment. Ihe stage, beautifully dec orated with flowers and crowded with the bright laces of some hity children, was a charming sight.

a 1 I Caaslit la a Woll-Trip and Devoured ly WulvK. (All i ha Year Kound.) The favorite trap employed for wolves in Burgundy is the traquerard. This is the most dangerous even to man, the strongest that is made requiring two men to set it. It has springs of formidable power and delicacy, and whan these are touched the jaws of the trap, armed with rows of teeth, shut one within the other. In spite of every precaution, however, very sad occurences will often happen iu these forests.

Some years ago a trap was placed near a deserted footway, aud the usual warning precautions being taken. The same day a young man, anxious to present to his finan-coe some turle doves and pigeons with rosy beaks, with whose whereabouts he was acquainted, left his home a little before sunset to surprise the birds on their nest. He was late. The night closed in rapidly, and with the intention of shortening the road he took his way across the forest. Without in the least heeding the brambles and bushes which caught his legs, or the ditches and streams he was obliged to cross, he passed on, and after a continued battle with the thorns, the stumps and roots, and the long olingiug ten-drills of the wild roses, came exactly on the track where the trap was set.

The night was nearly dark, and, thinking, only of his doves and the loved one, he failed to observe that several little pieces of string were swinging to and fro in the breeze from the branches of the thicket near him. Dreadful, indeed, was it for him that he did not, for suddenly he felt a terrible shock, accompanied by most intense the bones his leg being apparently crushed to splinters. He was caught in the wolf-trap. The first few moments of pain and suffering oyer, he must have comprehended the danger of his position, and had, it is presumed, with great presence of mind, endeavored to open the serrated iron jaws which held hiin fast. But, though danger is said to double the strength of a man, the trap refused to double the strength of a man, the trap refused to give up its prey, and as at each movement of its body the iron teeth buried themselves deeper and deeper in his flesh his agony must have been of the most exquisite description.

He probably shouted, and would have continued to shout, however, hopelessly, for help, had it not been for the fear of attracting (he wolves that might be lurking in the neighborhood. He had under his coat a small hatchet; and with this, in the event of his being attacked by the dreaded he trusted to defend himself. As the night lengthened, the moon rose and shed her pale light over the forest. He may now be pictured immovable, with eyes aud ears on the quivive, his body in the most excruciating torment, listening and waiting. All at once, far, very far oil, he heai-s a confused murmur of indistinct sounds.

Approaching with rapidity, these murmurs become cries and yells. They are those of wolves on the track hellish demons, which ere a few minutes would be upon him, carried direct to the spot by the trails set for the destruction of his destroyers. Fear not beiug part of his hardy nature, he, by utmost superhuman ef forts, ana in tne awful moment forgetting pain, contrived to drag himself and the trap toward an oak tree, against which he placed his back. Here, with his hatchet ready to strike, the young fellow, full of courage, doubtless offered lip a abort prayer to God, aud embracing, as it were, in his mind his poor old mother and his bride, awaited the horrible result, determined to show himself a true child of the forest, and meet his fate like a man. A few minutes more and he was surrounded by a cordon of yellow flame from the eyes of the brutes, the animals them selves, which he could scarcely distinguish.

Eending forth their terrible yells full in his tace. Oa the following morning, when the un fortunate forester who set the trap came to examine it, be found it at the foot of the oak, deluged with blood, the bone of a hu man leg upright between the iron teeth and 11 around, scattered about the turf and the path, a quantity of human remains. Shreds of a coat and other ai tides of clothing were discovered near the spot.With the assist ance Of some dogs, which were put on the scent, three wolves, their heads and bodies cut open with a hatchet, were found dying in an adjacent thicket. When the venerable cure of the village, after previously endeavoring in every possible way by Christian ex hortation to prepare his aged mother to hear the sad tale, informed her that these remains of humanitv were all that was left of her boy, she laughed. Alasl it was the laugh of madness; reason had fled.

THE BLLSMNU OP A BLUNDER. A good piece of luck was that which fell to Miss Elizabeth Thompson, a lady whose paint ings of scenes in military life can now com mand almost any price. The story goes that the first of her pictures that attracted much attention was the "Boll Call" a picture with which many of our readers are doubtless familiar. The original purchaser paid $000 for it and sent it to the Royal academy. It was accepted, put in a good place, and on Royal day the prince of Wales, who knows a good bit about pictures, took especial notice of it.

Who is the painter of this?" he inquired. Miss Elizabeth Thompson, your Royal High ness," was tne answer, on, mused! snow her very well," said the prince; "the daughter of my old friend Sir Thompson," mistaking one person for another. He was not corrected, most of the people present knew less about Miss Elizabeth Thompson than he did. Ihe result was that at the Saturday dinner his Royal Highness remarked in the course of his speech that he had observed among the pictures one by Miss Elizabeth Thompson, which was destined to wia much fame for its painter. He thought he was do ing a good turn for a fellow member of aristocracy.

The speech was published as usual, and ten days afterwards Miss 1 hompson found herselx famous. were stationed in front of her picture in the academy to pre vent people from being crowded upon it for it was on the line and spoiling it. lie en graving dealers were besieging the young la dy's doors, offering her fabulous sums for copyrignts, one was tnenceiortn secure her fortune was made.

After her curiosity had been gratified, she cignified to the owner her desire to possess it. He said that he did not care about parting with it, but that as the queen had expressed a wish, he had no choice but to comply with it. The queen sent mm a cnecs tor HM, exactly tne price which he had paid and this was characterized by some daring critics as rather penurious. The gentleman thus deprived of his picture, at once gave Miss Thompson an order to paint him another one. Why did not the queen do thesams thing? ILJccaange.
