EMMA LOCATED-

Chicago Is Her Present Abiding PlaceAll readers will romember the terrible flag episode in Clark township some four years ago in which K.mtua cornier, a school teacher, was going to make mince moat of one Jim Starks for daring to remove a flag from the school house at which she was teaching. The affair was tho sensation of tho hour, Emma was considered a heroine of tho first water, and illustrated newspapers had a picture of the supposed tearing doivn of the American flag. The republican newspapers took up the subject and were anxious to make it a campaign documenl, aad the "heroine," it was said, received numerous presents of money, and several gold presents for her determined defence of the flag. The sensation soon subsided, people began to see there was much ado about nothing, and Emma passed into obscurity. Emma failed to obtain license to teach in the county and soon after left it. Many people wondered what had become of her. By a letter recently received from her by a friend in the county it is learned that she is a housekeeper for a woalthy widow with two children in Chicago, and is pleasantly situated. In the meantime Jim Starks is still a living, breathing and moving individual on tho old farm in Clark, indifferent "as to whether school keeps or not" And so passeth the world.

MYSTIFIED AUTHORS.

•father Prout Mailt It His lousiness to HOAX Notable Characters. Authors svo often mystified tho public, but ii man who uade a business mystifying professional writers is a notable character Such a one, however, was the Rev. Francis Mahony, bettor knowu as "Father Prout. His favorite trick was to take a well known and popular poem, translate it into another language, boldly assert that in its new form it possessed great antiquity and charge tho author with having stolen it. This trick he played 011 moro thau one noted author during the early days of the present century, and each was sorely puzzled to explain the identity of the poem which he knew to he his own with that in a foreign language.

Prout translated Moore's "Go Wherg Glory Waits Thee" into excellent French verse, attributed it to Mrae. La Cointesse de Chateaubriand and charged Moore with having stolen it bodily. The song, "Lesbia Hatha Beaming Eye," he rendered into choice Latin and claimed it as a youthful production of his own, which he had once shown to Moore. Another of Prout-'s achievements was tho translation of Wolfe's "Burial of Sir John Moore" into French, claiming, at the same time, that the lines were written by Colonel do Beaumanois, who was killed at Pondicherry in 1749.

Not satisfied with this, he proceeded further and translated the lines into German verse and stoutly declared that, while Wolfe had stolen from the French poet, tho latter had in turn pilfered from the German, the latter poem having, as he stated, been written to commemorate the death and burial of the Swedish General Toistenson, who was killed at the siege of Dautzic. Poor Wolfo was dunifounded at seeing his popularity disappear and was not much comforted when the hoax was discovered.—Philadelphia Press.

Useful I'arrots.

It has hitherto been customary to fritter away tho intellectual forco of parrots by merely teaching them to say "Pretty Poll" and things of that sort, but the municipal authorities of a French town have instituted what it is to be hoped will become a general reform.

The poor box at tho town hall, it seems, had for a long time been in a condition discreditable to the more prosperous of tho inhabitants. To remind them of their duty toward their poorer noighbors a parrot was purchased, which was installed close to the box and trained to cry, "For tho poor, if you please!"

Tho result, it appears, has been highly satisfactory, pence and silver coin having been freely given in response to tho bird's appeal.

THOMAS JONES, THE MAN WHO SHIELDED LINCOLN'S MURDERER.

Kept Him In Hiding Six Day# ami Helpt-il Him to Iteiich Virginia—Tho Reward nl #300,000 Offered by the Government

Had Xot tlie I'ower to Move Him.

There died in Charles county, Md., not long iigo Thomas A. .Tones, at tho ago of 74. Jones held a position in the Washington navy yard, but was dismissed through tho infli^uco of Congressman Mudd of Maryffiud, who had informed the secretary of tho navy that Jones had playod ft prominent part in tbo escapo of John Wilkes Booth, tho assassin of President Lincoln. "It's quite true," admitted Jones at the time of his dismissal. "John Wilkes Booth, with a broken ankle, sick and suffering the tortures of the damned, was placod in my hands to bo spirited across tho river, and tho $300,000 reward, or even $3,000,000, would not have caused 1110 to turn traitor to the southern Confederacy, tho pooplo 1 loved, and surrender a man wiiose life was in my keeping, even if I did know I10 had assassinated President Lincoln."

Jones afterward told how Booth came into his hands. "It was on tho morning of tho lGtli of April," he said, "when friends of Samuel Cox came to my liouso 011 Huckleberry farm, Maryland, and tcld mo that Cox wanted to see 1110 at. once. I had heard the evei.ing before that Lincoln had been killed. 1 had a horso saddled and rode over to Cox's, who told me that Booth and David Herold had been there and wanted assistance to get across the river. I was told where tho men were—in a pine thicket about a milo and a half from the house. "I was given instructions how to reach them without being shot—certain signs by whistling, etc. Upon reaching tho dense pines I met Herold, to whom I explained that I was sent by Cox. I was then piloted to where Booth was. He lay on the ground wrapped in a pile of blankets, and his face bore traces of pain. Booth asked many questions as to what people thought of the assassination. He appeared to bo proud of what he had done. I at tho time thought he had done a good act, but, groat God, I soon saw that it was tho worst blow ever struck for tho south! "1 did the best I could for the poor fellow. I carried him papers to read and something to eat and tried to keep him in good spirits unti} I got a chance to send him across the river. Tho country was full of soldiers and detectives, and 1 did not know how soon I could get him away. "I think it was the following Tuesday

•y

I went up to Port Tobacco to seo how the land lay, and it was there, in tho barroom of Brawner's hotel, that Captain William Williams, chief of the United States secret servico, said he would give $300,000 to any man who would tell where Booth was." "That's true," admitted Captain Williams at the time of tho above interview, "and he would have been General Jones instead of a discharged employee from the navy yard if he had given "the information." "I did the best I could for Booth and Herold," continued Jones. "I did not know them, but when Cox put them in my keeping nothing would have tempted me to betray them. I could have placed my hands 011 Booth, but honor and truth wero worth moro to mo than the entire wealth of tho government. "At tho expiration of tho sixth day I heard the officers give orders for tho cavalry to go down in St. Mary's county that tho assassins wero there. That was my chance, and I made good time to where Booth and Herold were concealed. Booth was glad to know that his time to get into Virginia had come. "Tho night was dark, and Herold and I lifted Booth 011 to my horso. Our progress was slow. We finally reached my house, and I went in to get them something to eat. Wo then proceeded to the river. Booth was lifted into the boat and was placed in tho stern, while Herold took the oars. I then lighted a eandie and sliowed-Booth by his compass how to steer to got into Maehndoo creek and gave him directions to Mrs. (^nesenberry's, who, I thought, would take care of him That was the hist I saw of Booth. I "When notices were posted up that I to furnish broad or water to Booth meant death," went on Jones, "I foit pretty slinky. 1 knew that Booth had hit tho Virginia shore. 1 was arrested and taken to Washington, whero I was held for seven weeks. Then I was discharged because nobody believed I knew anything. "—New York World.

Seat of the Thunder God.

"Trembling mountain," a massive piloof peculiarly arranged rocks lying on Rogue river, almost directly north of Montreal, was known to tho Indians by a combination of words signifying seat of tho thunder god. "According to their traditions, tho thunder god formerly used a broad and deep indentation 011 its summit as a seat, and that therein ho would sit for throe days in spring, seven in summer, fivo in autumn and two in winter. They also believed that during tho time lie was present great chasms would open in the side of tho mountain, from which iiro would stream for hours without ceasing. -thing is known concerning tho early history of the mountain, but it is th':..ght that the legend refers to old time volcanic action, an opinion strengthened by its 1 geographical name of "Trembling mountain."—St,.

It is to the family, therefore, that wo shall have to look as being tho prime point of concern in all that relates to tho weal of our times and our kind. The strength and health of society are to he measured by tho amount of affectionate emphasis that is laid 011 tho homo idea, and the wholesomeness of society is simply the sanctity of the home writ large. Homes are each of them the separato roots that carry their several contributions to the organized structure of the general life.

All of this holds whetiior society bo considered in its religious relations, which wo know as the church, or in its secular ones, knowu us the state. The homo is the first church, and the home is tho first state. There is nothing in either of the two that is not initially present in a small way inside the home circle. As regard* the former there is a very important idea conserved in ,-o arranging our church auditoriums a: to con 1 hi no tho congregation without ...wificing the identity of its families, flu, pew system of worship is the i:efc way that our church architecture takes to 'each the doctrine that each home is a litto religious organism. This is one those interesting cases where a sense „f fitness, even without being distinctly conscious of it, nevertheless asserts itself and creates a very substantial expression of itself. And there is 110 preacher—at least th ro is no pastor— distinctly in his in his heart, this h.s congregation tint significance pends not 011 tho lividn.ii-. bur. 011 tho a:n:li( •. ]j.

A Hanilictp Whirl) the Highest of Kiltftisli r.-ers 11 live (o Curry. Wo may note a peculiarity in the English tooling about titles of which wo have nevi a reasonable explanation. I'lie political populaco dislikes tho titlo of duke. Some of tho ablest peers in politics havo been dukes, but to be a duke weights instead of lightening a man in the great race for power. There is a widely diffused impression, the origin of which wo cannot traco, that a duke is sure to bo a littlo stupid, that a brilliant duko is, in fact, an impossibility. The titlo is a positive drawback to the Duke of Devonshire, and a Duke fil Derby would never havo been deseiibed as a "Rupert of debate."

The I Juki! of Argyll, who is an intellectual athlete, would havo been far more completely recognized as Earl of Argyll, and wo aro not sure that the dukedom has not impeded 0110 or two promising politicians in the house of lords. Certainly a duke rarely rises

THE POWER OF HOME.

Its Relation to Society and Its Influence In the Church. The unit of society is tho homo. Enrollment that assumes to be thorough is not a registration by individuals, but by families. If we wero to say that the structure of society is cellular, we should havo to say that it is tho family that constitutes each separate cell. No man, however entire, is a cell. No woman, however complete, is a cell. There is 110 finished cell except in tho grouping of several individuals bound by the ties of domesticity. A bachelor is a dislocated fragment. His female counterpart is in tho samo category. It may not bo their fault. It may lie in flio necessity of their case. Still, all in all, It is a condition foreign to diviuo intention.

Is ir that, li.e rank overpowers the popular lmagina! .011 till men cease to see tho pcisoii—a thing which constantly happens in the ease of kings—or is it that 111011 can never forget tho special rank by merging it in the simpler and more familiar title of "lord?"

No peer except a duke is invariably mentioned by.tho title which marks his grade. Wo havo not an idea of tho true explanation, but wo know that a political earl who accepted a dukedom would lose heavily in popular estimation, and that even a marquis like Lord .Salisbury, who would alter his rank so little, would find that the coronet of strawberry leaves acted, to a certain extent, as an extinguisher, while if his son never entered tho house of coiumous ho would havo to struggle against some inexplicable weight. The fact is 0110 of the very oddest in tho whole of tho odd history of the influence of rank, but of its reality wo entertain 110 doubt whatever. To say "that is a ducal opinion" is to say it is an opinion that no ouo in our days need considor.—Loudoa Spectator.

IJowlc's Great Knife.

The bowio knife obtains its nauit! from Rezin P. Bowie, who lived i» Maryland in the early part of this century. Ho had a brother who had many enemies, and he, being turbulent ami fond of hand to hand fights, stood i« need of good weapons. Rezin undertook to furnish him with a weapon somewhat supurior to any that could bo foiin'l in thoso parts at that period. A knif*was made out of a blacksmith's file, and a blado was had nino inches long, to which was fastonod a handle of s'x inches. The knife was simple, strong build and had an admirable teni]»': Bowio used it in 1!» sanguinary contests, and thon, happening in Philadelphia, ho mot with a cutler who fashioned it over for him. Bowio afterward settled on tho Mississippi, and entertained tho colobratod actor Ed*win Forrest,^ whom ho gavo tho original knifo.
