SIR HENRY IRVING.

Henry Irving is now a knight. He will not draw one bit better in New York than ke did before for that reason, but he will kave an opportunity to eat twice as many Sree dinners.—Buffalo Express. "Sir Henry Irving" has a fine sound, «nd none will rejoice more in this evidence of Queen Victoria's sound sense than his American admirers. Now, when will it le Lady Ellen Terry?—Philadelphia Press.

The knighting of Henry Irving by the queen on the occasion of her seventy-sixth birthday, while adding nothing to the lame of the great actor, will be accepted as a public recognition of the stage and of Hhe great part it can be made to play in odueation of the people.—Brooklyn Gitiaen.

Regarded as a real honor, the knighting of Henry Irving was richly deserved, and too long deferred. There is no reason why the dignity should not have been conferred vpon him many years ago. It is, at the fiest, a tardy recognition of his worth and liis prominence in his timo.—New York Times. pi Knighthood confers no fresh distinction upon Henry Irving, but in according this recognition to the foremost English actor of his time the queen has won a fresh honor for herself. The art of the stago has had to wait long for such an acknowledgment of its rank among the line arts.—Philadelphia Times.

Henry Irving has been knighted by Queen Victoria, but no mention is mado of an honor bestowed upon the feminine member of the firm of Irving & Co., who Is perhaps as talented as the head. Ellen Terry can boast of no title, but she has jnoro admirers than Sir Henry.—St. Paul Horning Call.

Among those knighted upon the occasion of Queen Victoria's birthday was Henry Irving, the actor. However, the lionor will be of little use to the great tragedian in his profession, as, if ho is to nee the title in his playbills, he must be known as Sir John Henry Brodribb, his seal name.—Syracuse Journal.

QUANTRELL RECALLED.

•-J W———How the Cruel Guerrilla Chief Sowed the Wind and Reaped the Whirlwind. [Special Correspondence.

LAWBENCE, Kan., Juno 11.—The recent dedication of the monument in this city in memory of the 150 citizens who fell victims to the guerrilla gang led by the infamous Quantrell recalls a visit made to Canal Dover, O., where the mother of the guerrilla chief resides, or did at last accounts.

While his career and death are not such as a Christian mother can be proud of she has at least the consolation that she did her part in his youthful training and sent him from home a happy youth whose ambition appeared to be of a high order.

During my visit the mother showed, not without a little motherly pride, the letters written nearly 40 years ago by the young Quantrell, when he was a poetical schoolteacher in Kansas. They indicate nothing of that intrepid, bloodthirsty spirit of Lara or the Corsair, which the events of "bleeding Kansas" and the war developed. But first let me give his boyhood history as his mother tells it. The old and well worn family Bible in the neat little parlor tells that ho was born July 31, 1837. His father came from Hagerstown, Md., was a tinner and published The Tinman's Guide, an authority on the business. He had a literary turn of mind, and after marrying M«try Clark moved to Canal Dover and gave up his solder and shears to assume the ferule and frown of school superintendent. Young Quantrell was well educated and was teacher in the public schools when but 1(3. After his father's death, in 1854, he had the western fever and worked at anything to sustain life until he began teaching again at Fort Wayne, also taking a course in natural sciences.

Ho had formerly taught at Mendota, Ills., but became involved in an intrigue with a girl, which destroyed his further usefulness in that district. In 1858 he was in Kansas with cattle dealers from his old home in Ohio, and it was during this time that he wrote home some remarkable letters. In one letter ho says: "The Democrats here aro the worst men wo have, for they are all rascals. No one can be a Democrat hero without being a rascal. But the day of their doom is fast approaching, and, like the Jews, they will be scattered to the four winds of the earth, with a guilty look which will always betray them."

A strange change must have came over Quantrell when he joined the south, although in a later letter he declares that the antislavery people were the main movers in trouble and were the most lawless. Then he adds: "Old J. Brown should have been hung long ago. In fact, hanging was too good for him."

Quantrell's most intimate friends ascribe the relentless ferocity of the man in wartime to his rejection by a young woman with whom ho fell desperately in love. She lived in Kansas, and although she married another Quantrell gave his men

THE QUANTKELL MASSACRE SARCOPHAGUS, strict orders not to molest or harm her or any of her kin. But ho made no restrictions concerning the kin of his rival, sparing only him for the woman's sake.

Another letter seems to throw some explanatory light upon his after life and the causes of its wild wickedness. "My past life seems wasted. I feel that I have been crazed," he wrote in 1S59. "It is high timo for a change." Then ho adds about old Dover, "I have lately visited home in my dreams," and all of his letters thereafter have a gloomy, mysterious vein of foroboding running through them.

He refers to the coming war and writes, "I do not feel that my destiny is in this country, and I do not wish to remain, as the devil has illimitable sway over it."

He promised to bo homo in the summer of 18(50, but that promise was in the last letter the devoted old mother ever received. The story runs that Quantrell, dazed and maddened by the rejection of his love, that, too, by the daughter of a strong antislavery man, threw himself into the war with the mad impetuosity hardened by sadness which has marked the lives of piratical characters the world over.

He began highway robbery and organized a band of border brigands, teaching the James and Younger brothers their nefarious business, in which they were apt pupils, and no name of any guerrilla carried with it so much terror as that of Quantrell. From the modest blue eyed pedagogue he was transformed into a demon of relentless ha to and fury, and his band, iron disciplined and cowed by a leader who did not hesitate to shoot down one of them for disobedience o* an overt act, swept over the plains of Kansas like the cyclones, spreading blood and death where were once the peaceful furrows of the farmer. Like the Corsair, he left

A name to other times,

Linked with one virtue and a thousand crimes. His first appearance as a guerrilla was when made captain of a company by Governor Price. The Jamas and Younger bbys were under him. His burning and sacking of Lawrence, Kan., was a brutal, murderous tragedy, untityualed save by Indian atrocities. Neither men, women nor children were spared, except a party of strangers at the hotel, ono of them being R. A. Stevens of Attica, N. Y., late a congressman. Quantrell's only defense for this butchery was, "I wanted to kill Jim Lane, who lived there, and as I hadn't the honor of his acquaintance and no timo for introduction I just killed every man I could catch."

At Sedalia Quantrell added to his record of brutality by ordering Jesse James to kill a trainload of wounded Union soldiers, and Jesse accordingly killed 18 helpless men with his own pistols. In 1865 Quantrell tried to roach Richmond to help Lee. On March 1 ho was corralled with his men in a barn in Nelson county, Ky^ Captain Terrell of a Union squad attacked tho Quantrell party, which showed fight. Quantrell came out, and Terrell shot him twice in the neck, inflicting a wound similar to that which killed Booth, who was also shot in a barn. The bandit was captured and died in the Louisville hospital, declaring to the last that he was Captain Clark, his own middle name, by the way, and yet admittod that he was a native of Ohio. His body was buried in a Louisville cemetery, but was probably dug up again soon afterward, and the skeleton adorns a medical college museum. His identity lias been fully established by those who were .captured with him,, and some are still living in Missouri. C" F. R. CocHBAN.

'A PICTURE OF HEALTH.

for responsive letters from equally prominent men and women in other lands. Below is a letter that commends itself to every woman in Hancock County. It was voluntarily written to Wells, Richardson & Co. by a lady whose portrait, given above, is assurance of her high character and honest disposition. She is a picture of womanly health. She is a Mrs. Robert M. Moore of Laporte, Ind., and she writes: "Please accept my heartself thanks for the great good Paine's celery compound has done me. I do think that there cannot be too much said in its favor. I was completely run down a year ago, and had the advice and attendance of two of the best physicians in the town, who pronounced my sickness nervous prostration. I was treated by one for two weeks, and thbn went to another and at first he seemed to help, but after while instead of getting better I went from bad to worse.

For recovery from the effects of too constant indoor work, worry, overexertion of body or mind' aud for the general depressed state of health that is so apt to result from a sedentary life of hard work and routine, Paine's celery com ponnd is the one strictly accurate relief It refreshes and restores the worn-out tissues disposes the body to take on n«w flesh, and rapidly clears the system ofm the u9ed-up elements that clog its healthy working. ,,

Drudging indoor workers -who seldom get a long breath of fresh air—and there are many such, both men and women— recover vigor of the nerves and vital organs throught the use of Paine's celery compound.
