Bow Enssian EeSners Are Trying to Sappbnt American Petroleum with a Worthless IIlsmkating Article of Their Own. vTHEA5crnr clerks. yarl r AH Believe Tbey Are Constantly Shadowed by Secret-Service Detectives. fXla.1 lo the IndanaDol Journal. ' Washington. Sept. 2L Treasury Department clerks complain that they are being shadowed by government detectives. Said cne of the oldest of them, to-day: "It is the only disagreeable feature of my employment to feel that I am always being watched, f 'zd that I can never leave the department buiMing or my house with any confidence taut my footsteps are not dogged by secret-service detectives in search of information as to my habits. The fact is, that of the 1,400 employes in the Treasury, at least 1,000 are firmly convinced that they are followed about pretty nearly all the time by government detectives employed expressly for that purpose, to see that they behave themselves and to report everything Tthey do that is naughty to the authorities of-the department. If a money-counter takes a glass of beer in a saloon ho imagines that the man who picks his teeth on the other side of the screen in the doorway is lurking there to watch the motions of his elbow. If the young lady who helps work the 'hash' machine in tho redemption division indulges in a flirtation at an evening party, it is with a faint though haunting dread lest the violin player may possibly be Observing .her at so much an hour, drawn on vouchers against the secret-service fund. If the youth who does up silver in bags of 81,000 help suspecting that the newly introduced acquaintance on the opposite side of the table, who keeps 'straddling the blind' so tiled to shadow him." RUSSIAN PETROLEU3I. Zt If Worthless as an Illuminator How Discredit Is Cut Upon American OIL. Special to Uio' Indianapolis Journal. Washington", Sept. 2L Information has reached the Department of State that the petroleum fields of southern Eussia threaten to destroy the interests of the American article in all Oriental countries, the Persian and Palestine purchases being, exclu- . sively of the Russian article. If Russian petroleum drives American petroleum out of any market as an illuminator, it is the fault of the American government. Your correspondent made an investigation of this problem in Russia two years ago, and has received considerable information on the subject since leaving the Czar's dominions. Russian petroleum Js not an illuminator, any more than the oil produced by the elds of northern Ohio, where it is used ex- . clusively as fueL At St. Petersburg is located the largest oil refinery to be found outside of the United States. Its owner was formerly a Boston man, and from the Uatoum crude oil ho made every conceivable grade of illuminating fluids and vase lines, lie said or the proposition that Russian petroleum will some day take the' export trade of the American product: "Im possible; that is unless your people are stupid or negligent The first thing the American producers should do is to stop the fraudulent use of American casks in the eale of the Russian oil. The petroleum is not fit for illuminating purposes, for I have tried to retine it and cave up in distrust. Jut there are re titers here who put it up in American casks or new packages to imi tate that from your country, and sell it. T"he consumers do not know the difference. if they have never used the American oiL - vhich is 500 per cent, better. We have got plenty of the oil, bat it is dirty and will not burn in lamps. Vour State Department ran rectify this wrong by proper negotiations with our Foreign Oflice." I MINOR MATTERS. Trance Apologize for Imprisoning Three ; American Ladles, and the Incident Closes. Washington, Sept 21.

Destruction Caused by a Venturesome Visitor Who Wanted to See a Illaze. Special to tin Indianapolis Journal. Upper Sandusky, O., Sept. 21. The work of tho Natural-gas Company of this city was rewarded, on Tuesday last, by strik ing a gushing gas well, the most powererf ul in this entire region. It was impossible to entirely stop the llow of gas, and, since the find was made, work has been going forward to tap the monster below the surface and utilize the fluid for light and power in tho city. Hundreds of persons have come to inspoct the well, and this eveninz a visitor more venturesome than the rest approached ana tossed a lighted match toward it for the sole purpose of seeing tho, blaze. The gas was instantly ignited and sprang upward in a flame that Quickly enveloped the great derrick and 6heds adjoining. In a few moments they were reduced to ashes, and the great waving stream of burning gas sprang upward unobstructed. The light can be seen for many miles. Tho strip of woods near tho well took fire, and, as it is very dry, v the flames there are raging furiously and scores of men are busy trying to prevent it from spreading further. If it gets beyond their control great damage will certainly be done. No means of stopping the blaze at the gas well are at hand, and absolutely nothing can bo done to check it. The community is terribly excited and in great fear that a devastating fire will ensue. Other Fires. EpeclAl to the Indianapolis Journal. Bloomdtuton, I1L, Sept. 20.

Strike Sltnatlon at Brail!. Bpeclal to the Indianapolis Journal. Brazil, Ind., Sept 21. There has been no contrary development in tho mining situation sinco the Perth miners decided to go to work. There has been a dishonest attempt by interested parties to pervert the truth in the action of the Perth miners. The vote, as reported on tho third day, showed sixty-five for work to nothing against The concessions, if they may be so called, are immaterial, that is, the operators did not hesitate to make them. They really made them before the Board of State Charities in June, and would doubtless have made them to the miners early in May, when the strike was incubating, had they been asked. They arc virtually a reduction in the expense of mining proportionate to the reduced rate demanded. All this talk about the operators cutting down the mining rate, while refusing to reduce the price of powder, blacksmithing, and even house rent, is the worst kind of demagogy. A local sheet, commenting on the Perth miners' action, eays more than it aimed to say in the following indecent but significant jargon: A few company 6ucks called a few men together and told them a pack of lies about the central committee, and misrepresented things to the Anstrians, and got up an excitement which will amount to nothing when the facts are known." Lies about the central committee! Tho question arises, what is wrong with the central commit teo that has received and disbursed the $25,000 or $30,000 that have been given for.the relief of the strikers so fart Well, these Perth miners vow that that they did not get their apportionment, and this was alleged as the cause of returning to work. They do not charge tho committee with crookedness, but they express much dissatisfaction over its man' agement of tbe funds. Mine No. 8 will open Monday with perhaps a hundred men. Talk is talk, although these miners have signed a yearly contract: but their example in going to work will be contagious. The entire district is iufected now, as fully two hundred miners are at work in various widelyscattered mines, and the disease will break out on Monday. The result of the meeting of striking miners at Harmony and Cardonia to-day was the appointment of a delegation to visit the No. 8 minersat Perth to-morrow to persuade them to continue on strike instead of resuming work Monday at the operators' ofler. The Perth miners allege unfair deabngs if not crookedness on the part of the central relief committee and will have nothing more to do with it They are determined, and are not in a mood to brook interference. ITowever, force, it is said, will not be used. Much interest centers in the event and trouble may result Fully 100 miners wi 11 resume work in No. 8. Ten more, making forty in all, will go to work in No. 10. The examnloof 800 or moro miners at work at the reduction will, it is thought, project a stampede that will break the strike summarily. Everything is quiet at Perth to-day, except that a miner named Mish swore out a warrant against Joseph Bosley for saying, Tf Mish returns' to work Monday, I will kill him." Bosley was acquitted. Miners K. of I Assembly. Wilxesbarre, Pa., Sept 21.

UGLY frauds alleged. Result of the Investigation Into the Doherty Assignment at Crawfordsville. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Crawfordsville, Sept. 21. A new sensation has developed to-day in the case of the late failure of Marsh Doherty, carriage and wagon-dealer. Some four weeks ago. Doherty made an assignment to A. F. Ramsay, and named the First National Bank of this city, as a preferred creditor to the sum oyer $4,000. The liabilities amounted to $35,000. The other creditors commenced ' an investigation and found that $10,200 had been sequestered by shipping it to O. T. Street, at Kansas City, and also that several farms had been purchased in Kansas with some more money. These facts were obtained bv an investigation ordered by the court. It seems that Marsh Doherty bought out Fisher Doherty, his father, on Aug. 15, and then failed in about two weeks. The creditors to-day rile a lengthy complaint, charging that a couspirracy was existing between Fisher Dohertv, Marsh Doherty, A. F. Rainsey, assignee, E. P. McClaskey, county sheriff, the First National Bank and others to defraud them. Charges of the blackest character are made, which, if proven, will cause the downfall of several prominent citizens. On the other hand. Marsh Doherty swore before the court that G. W. Paul, attorney for the creditors, told him that if he would give him $500 he would use $400 of it in buying up the attorneys for the creditors. By this is meant that a plan would be acted upon by the lawyers on both sides to defraud the creditors of Doherty out of all that was possible. The lawyers on both sides deny this, and there is also a row among the attorneys, There are rich developments promised soon. Other Business Troubles. Louisville, Ky., Sept. 21.-John B.

The Man "Who Drove the Doctor to the Fatal Cottage Alleged to Have Been Found. Chicago, Sept. 21. A dispatch from Oakland, Cal., is printed here, to the effect that Chicago officers are there for the purpose of arresting J. J. IleiTerman, senior guardian of a Clau-na-Gael camp of that city, on a charge of complicity in the murder of Dr. Cronin. The Chicago end of the story, as told by an evening paper, is to the effect that Heflerman came to Chicago from San Francisco, with Tom Desmond, in April last; that, while here, he was very intimate with detective Dan Coughlin, who is now on trial for connection with the Cronin murder, and that he left this city shortly after the murderoccurred. The story continues, saying that all of IIeflermanvs movements nave heen traced in this city; that, from a very close and accurate description of him. furnished by an intimate acquaintance, Mrs. Conkliu. at whose house Dr. Cronin boarded, and Frank Scanlan, his secretary, Heflerman has been identified as the man who called for Dr. Cronin on the fatal night, and drove him to his death. Whether or not a photograph of him has been secured cannot be learned, but the local authorities felt justiiied, under the circumstances, in securing a warrant of extradition of Heltermau, and, on Tuesday last, ofllcers were sent to San Francisco to arrest him. A dispatch from San Francisco says no such person as Heflerman lives in that vicinity. Motions on llehalf of Prisoners. Chicago, Sept. 21. No additional jurors were secured in the Cronin case to-day. Just before ad journment lawyer Donahue renewed his motion, made some time ago, on behalf of hiscllent Kunr. that he may ge given some information, directly or Indirectly, as to what evidence is against the prisoner. He had, he said, no more information now than when the court appointed him, and desired that the State's attorney be directed to give tho Information. The matter was argued at considerable length, and finally taken Under advisement by the court. Mr. Forrest gave notice that he would, on Monday, ask for a modification of the order of the court directing the State's attorney to permit experts of the defense to examine specimens of the blood-ftains, furniture and other articles taken from the Carlson cottage, and to submit the blood-stains to soleutiflo analysis. "The prosecution,' said Mr. Forrest, "is placing such conditions upon this order of the court, that in order to carry it out and comply with these conditions. It will cost the defense two or three thousand dollars, and we are not able to pay that." Judge McConnell did not render his decision in the motion lor the discharge or v oodrun today.

DIGGING OUT THE VICTIMS. Dangers Attending the Rescue of Persons Imprisoned by Fallen Rock at Quebec Quebec, Sept. 2L Although rain fell incessantly last night, the work of digging out the victims of the landslide was carried on through the entire night. The efforts of the workers were concentrated on the spot where a man named Hemp was supposed to be. At 4 o'clock this morning the work was far enough advanced to allow him to be seen at a distance of about fifteen feet from the base of operations. Hemp would sing a couple of songs and then would shout Tolice, police!" The poor man is either insane or in a delirium. A man named Beauchamp who, with his two brothers, had worked at the wreck without sleep ever since the landslide, crawled into a small opening to get at Kemp, who was lying about fifteen feet away under an immense pile of stones, but had not gone six feet under the pile when the whole mass enrno down on his back. Beauchamp, however, bsing a , strong, courageous man, managed to crawl back a couple of feet, but could not move an inch further, his progress being blocked by the corpse of a woman. A Redemptorist father, who passed the night on the scene encouraging the workers, kneeled down and began to recite a prayer. The men, although almost exhausted by their constant hard struggles and weakened by the pouring raiu, which inundated all about them, seeing Beauchamp apparently doomed to certain death, rnshed to his rescue with all the energy of despair, and, after great efforts, their comrade was pulled out alive and without serious injury, though somewhat stunned and bruised. John Nolan, who was thought to have been killed at the beginning of the catastrophe, was found still alive, though he had been imprisoned under; a mass of ruins, three feet deep, for thirty-six hours. This afternoon a squad of "B" batterymen discovered the body of Mrs. Kemp under a mass of stones, beams and rafters. The head only was clear. In order to release the body the men attempted toremove a stone weighing some 500 pounds, but it crashed down upon the woman's head, smashing it to a jelly. The body was recovered later, but a leg was torn oil in pulling it out of the wreck. The corpse of Margaret Welsh was reached under a pile of masonry. The head was almost

severed from the body, which was horribly mutilated. These are the only additional corpses found after twenty-four hours' hard work. The quantity of rocks, lumber and masonry is so great that three or four hour's of hard work does not show any difference in the debris. It is thought that sixteen persons are still missing, and that they were in the basements of the buildings at the time of the landslide. The debris must be cleared level to the ground in order to reach them, and this work will occupy several days. Three sailors are supposed to be buried under a huge pile of fallen rocks, the top of which is about thirty feet above the level of the road. lhe cuard-room of the river police sta tion has been transformed into a mortuary chapel, and the twenty cornses recovered have been laid in a row in front of the altar, on which a number of tapers and lamps are uurning. Aromauc essences are also Durneu to counteract the stench arising from the decomposing bodies. The chapel is open to the public, and the people llock there en masse. Twenty hearses have been se cured lor the funeral, which takes place to-morrow. A solemn service will be held at St, Patrick's Church. Members of the Provincial Parliament, city councilors and other prominent citizens will attend the funeral services. , Cause of the Mission Ridge Accident. Chattanooga. Tenn.. Sept. 21. It has been found by a coroner's inquest on the body of Mrs. Adams, of Casey, 111., who was killed yesterday by Jumping irom an electric car on Mission Kidge, that the current of electricity did not fail, but that the cause of the accident was a lack of appliancos on the car for preventing the wheels Irom slipping on the track. Tho electric current did its duty, as It was proved on triil that the wheels were turning In the right direction to carry the car up the track, but the car being heavily loaded and the tracks being coverea with heavy aew, the wheels refused to take the rails, and slipped down hill.

It was in the year 18S0. in a third-rate city called Neutchateau, in the Department des Vosges, 1 ranee, about noon, that we were passing, my father and myself, in front of a store where, in addition to hardware, a 6tiinly of ammunition was kept for the uso of the regiment there. Suddenly we heard a terrible explosion, and being either thrown or having unconsciously run, I know not, we, at anjr rate, fonnd ourselves about twenty yards from where the explosion occurred, and could soo part of the roof in the street. Wo had hardly reached the building when a man came out of it covered with powder, his hair and beard burning and large pieces of ilesh hanging from his face anu uare arms, rsever win i iorget tuo horror of the sight; his ilesh,was charred and his clothing partly burned. As be reached the sidewalk he looked around him and called a name I did not catch. Receiving no answer, he went right back into the burning furnace, and m a few seconds came out bearing in his arms his child, a girl of six or seven. Thoso nearer to him heard him say: "Mv darling, are you hurt! Oh, you are hurt!' While the poor little thing kept saying: "No, papa, 1 am not hurt, not at all; you are burning, think of yourself," and yet the blood was trickling from her forehead where the ilying debris made a deep gash.

"Business is business," is tho motto of the Rev. George B. Titus, of Saco. At the beginning of the fourth year of his pastorate he asked that his salary be raised from $000 to $1,000 a year. The prudential committee were unable to raise money enough the past year, and told Mr. Titus that ho must get along with $000. "Not much,,, said Mr. Titus. He declined to accent his last month's salary at the rate of $900. and would only give a receipt on account, telling the committee that they must pay him $1,000 per annum or he must seek another vineyard. This transaction started a discombobolation in the society, and resulted in a rather exciting parish meeting. Crit-

icisms were made upon the pastor's course and on the committee's action. One of tho committee resigned, and it was hard work to find anybody who would take his place. Tho upshot of the whole matter was that the parish decided to raise the extra money. The Rev. George 1J. Titus seems to have brought the brethren to terms. Verily, business is business. IN CARLYLE'S SCHOOL,

A Scene That Introduces "the Best Scholar of Kikcaldy. Edinburgh Scotsman. It should at once be mentioned that this "scene" down to its niiuutest details was described by an eye-witness, a Cupar-Fife lawyer and provost who had been a pupil under Car lyle, and whose representation of his teacher's peculiarities was all the more likely to be exact and trustworthy from his not having any idea that his Carlyle "the queer mortal that 6tormed and walloped learning into him" was identical with the world-famous Thomas Carlyle. This ignorance, in the pupil, of Carlyle's career as an author rendered the account of what he saw in the Kirkcaldy school not only more faithful in itself, but also more richly curious to thone hearers, all whose knowledge of Carlvle related to his literary achievements. The provost had soon to answer several questions, and was apparently staggered at the keen interest taken in his stern schoolmaster; but he obviously explained this to himself by the humor which he had shed into his recital. Must ho not have quietly put forth Charles Lamb's power in making his scowling dominie fascinating to strangers! One of those eager hearers was tho well-known Edinburgh journalist, Hugh Miller, who happened at the timo iin 1853) to be a few davs in Cupar'lfe. An elder gentleman in tho Cupar dinner-party described the former teachers as always during school hours wearing their hats, at least keeping their heads covered: and many of the boys, viewing the peculiar angle at which the hat stood upon the head, and how near it canio to the eyebrows, could conjecture if lhe savage mood were to be that day predominant. "But my teacher." said the provost, "a strict and gloomy disciplinarian, with the name of Carlyle, never wore his hat in the school: and. indeed, his brow was so overhung with dark threatening, aud his largo glowing eyes constantly shot forth wrath, while his protruding chin was laden with scorn, that no extra expression to alarm us was needed from his lum-hat. He did not thrash us either very often or very severely, bnt we had a fear that, if provoked, he would go great lengths in punishment. I have seen his mere scowl hush at once the whole school. Tho biggest and boldest boya specially dreaded his grins aud his mocking words. How savagely his teeth were wont to grind out the terms dunce or blockhead." Hugh Miller here interposed by asking, "Did your teacher ever burst into a strange laugh in school?" "That is a very odd question," returned the provost. "Why do you askf But now that I remember he had at times a very extraordinary laugh that made us all stare. It had a train of queer chuckling, which exploded in a succession of loud and deep gullaws that shook his whole body and displayed all his teeth like the keys of a piano, lie then clapped his hands on the book ho held against his knees; yet none of us ever knew at what ho was laughing. Ho had a grim smile in reproving pupils and a habit of tapping theirheads with hi3 knuckles, as he told them that the heads would never be worth tho price of hats or the charge of a barber, though mammas and aunts had. that morning, combed, kissed and blessed them in pious wonder as if they were teeming with the sublimest inventions and designs." The provost saw that Hugh Miller and some other guests were listening eagerly and he proceeded: "One morning, a few minutes before tho school-hour, when most of the pupils had arrived, and as rain was falling they had gone into the school, a donkey, which had roken loose from its tethor on a grassy snot near, was entering tho play-ground. Bill Hood audi were so far on our way; and Bill, who was a stout and frolicsome lad tho ringleader in many sports and tricks rushed to mount the animal, and began to guide and force it into the school. With desperate spurring the donkey was induced to carry its rider over thethreshold; and what a reception both of them cot from the juvenile crowds! Bags of books were at once fastened to the tail and around the neck of the ass; and so busy were Bill and half a dozen companions in urging the brute. to a canter round the school, and to ascend the short stair of tho master's desk, that they did not notice how time was speeding; and before they could remove the stranger, Mr. Carlyle appeared. We expected a tremendous explosion of wrath, but he burst into a roar ot laughter such a roar, however, as, instead of tempting us to join in it, produced a sudden and complete hush, and that roar was renewed again and again, when the ass, withdrawing its forefeet from the step of the desk chair, and, turning round, took a pace or two slowly toward the master, as if to salute him. That exclaimed Carlyle, 'is the wisest and best scholar Kirkcaldy has yet sent me; he is n't to be your teacher.1 He tapped the donkey's head as he was wont to do ours, and said: 'There's something here, far more than in the skulls of any of his brethren before me, though these skulls are patted in fond admiration by papas and mammas, and though that far grander head-piece meets only with merciless blows.' He then gave somo hard taps on Bill Hood's head, and would not allow him to dismount, but for a penalty ordered him to ride up and down the school for an hour, while those boys who had been most active in helping Bill to go through tho farce had to march in nairs before and behind the perplexed looking ass. He did not require the other scholars to attend to their several school lessons, bnt silently permitted them to stand spectators of the grotesque procession. Then he himself, seated witbm his pulpit-like desk, surveyed Bill and his company with a strange mixture of mirth, scorn and fury. "The procession had not been broken up when an old and ragged Irishman the owner of the animal came upon tho scene and expressed both surprise and anger at the drill through which his faithful l'at (as he called the ass, after his country's saint) was going, and especially at the load of book-bags attached to his tail. He did not seem to understand the compliments which Mr. Carlyle pronounced upon the donkc3's brain-power and wisdom, but admitted that Pat had a very big hoad. which all tho shilielahs at Donuybrook lair would not break; and he offered 'if master had a fancy for Pat as a scholar, and wished to taitch him mathematics and the globes, he would let him have the brute for a single picture' (the Irisman's term for a pound note). The laugh with which our teacher received and rejected this proposal nearly confounded Barney, who hurried away with his donkey, loudly expressing a hope that the animal would be cured of braying after hearing such a laugh from the schoolmaster, but that he would not bo spoiled or get too high notions through that morning's lesson! I remember that our master glared angrily at the Irishman for playing off wit against his laughter: but 1 don't exactly recollect what he said in return that provoked the donkey's owner. It was something about Paddv and the millions of his countrymen keeping themselves outside of all schools, and growing up uneducated 6avages, to feed on potatoes and ou the lying humbug of acitators a people that should be within infant schools yet shouting for Kepalo and the right to govern themselves. I nave not for years thought of this scene," continued the pro vost, but it has now come back to me freshly, and I remember that my old mas ter had a very strange laugh. I don't know what has become of him: nor, indeed, have 1 heard of him since 1 left Kirkcaldy school." Cwsar Didn't Go to .Bed. SeotUsh American. A Scotch minister was sorely kept under by his "better half," who placed him and his friends on very short allowance. On one occasion he had a visit from au old ac quaintance, and after patiently waiting for his wife's departure she at length, as he thought, retired for tbe night, bhe had no sooner left than the henpecked husband exnltincrlv exclaimed: "I'm determined to be Ciesar in my own house!" and at the same time rang the bell and ordered refreshments. Just as he and his friend were becinninz to enloy themselves "mv ladv " who had overheard her unfortunate lord's boastful ejaculation, popped her head in at the door and 6aid nnnly: "Caesar, come to bed!" . How a Carolinian Got Even. Chicago MaiL A man who owned all the land snrfniiml. ing a North Carolina town died the other day. me town omcials had otteuded him a short time before bis death, and when his will was read his method of getting even

was shown. Owning all the land immediately surrounding the town, to the extent of about 5.000 acres, the offended party willed it to his sister for her u?e during her life, following which it is to be held in trust for ninety-nine years by the probate judge of the county, at tho end of which period it is to go to the heirs. This shuts the town up for over a hundred years within the rncircling land, and will result in killing the place, because iiono of the testator's holdings may be bad for use. It will be seen from this little incident that there are several ways of terminating tha life-leases of felines. mm a m KOSSUTH AND HATS. DTow Ills Visit to This Country Originated a National Headgear. New York nerald. A few days ago the Herald printed a cable account of Bismarck's secret attempt to have the old Hungarian patriot Louis Kossuth driven out of Italy. There are still thousands of Americans who remember the visit of the distinguished Hungarian leader to this cotintrjai,d his pkturesone appearance and glorious speeches in liberty. But there is one lit t lo incident connected with that visit which only a few know of. It is the invention, or rather the popularizing of a species of headgear now becomo famous the world over as the "American hat." Kossuth was a prisoner at Kutahiyeh in Asia Minor after the overthrow of tho Hungarian army in 1S40 (chicliy effected by the liussians) for two years. "Dnring this period of conlinement he mastered tho Knglish language with the aid of hhakspeare aud Johnson a dictionary. In August, lsM, the minister plenipotentiary of the American government and the Knglish embassador effected bis release, despite the threats of Austria. Kossuth embarked at Smyrna on an American vessel, and arrived in England in October. In the latter part of November he came to America. A hatter had already designed a head-cear a soft felt with a wide brim, very much 15ke what the G. A. It. hat is and when the vessel arrived sent them down the bay and covered the heads of Kossuth and his compatriots with them It was, then, in an American hat that Kossuth made bis first appearance, in this country. The idea took amazingly, and every town and city where the Hungarian patriot went he was met by crowds wearing the new hat out of compliment to him, as he wore it out of compliment to them. Wherever he delivered his eloquent , speeches in stirring English ho excited tho greatest enthusiasm, and these hats were tlung into the air with joy. There are now Half a dozen varieties of this kind of head covering. Tho Alpine, with a high, sloping crown, with the edge of the brim braided, comes nearest to tna old native hat of Kossuth. The standard hat is the Pacific, with a very broad brim and a low crown. During the Fenian excitement, twenty-five years ago, any man . seen wearing a hat of this kind in Ireland was instantly arrested as a "suspect" as one of those filibustering Americans who had just come out of the war and wanted to create a revolution in Ireland." And many an innocent American tourist was also arrested because of the same kind of hat. CROWNS ON GRINNING SKULLS,

Some Ghastly Contrasts at Royal and Ducal Graves. B'.iftwood's Macailne, Ghastly aud grinning skulls were there, adorned in crowns of gold. Dark and parchment-dried faces were seen, with their goldeu hair, rich as ever, aud twisted with gems aud golden nets. The cardinals wore still their miters, and red cloaks, and splendid rings. On the breast of Cardinal Carlos (son of Ferdiuand 1) was a beautiful cross of white enamel, with the efligy of Christ in black aud surrounded with emeralds, and pn his hand a rich sapphiro ring. On that of Cardinal Leopold (the son of Cosimo II), over tho purple planeta, was a cross of amethysts and on his finger a jacinth set in enamel. Tho dried bones of Victoria della Hovere Montefcltro wero draped by a dress of black fiUk of beautiful texture, trimmed with bluck and whito lace, with a great golden " medal on her breast, and the portrait of her as she- was iu life lying on one bide and her emblems on the other; while all that remained of , herself were a few bones. Anna Louisa, tho Klectress Palatine of the Khine. daughter of Cosimo III, lay there, almost a skeleton, robed in a rich violet velvet, with tho electoral crown sur mounting a black, ghastly face of parch ment, a medal of gold, with her elhgy nua name on one side, and on her breast a cmciiix of silver: while Iranci&co Jlaria, her uncle, lav beside her, a mass of putrid robes and rags. Cosimo I aud Cosimo II had been stripped. bv mofano hands of all their jewels and in signia, and so had Elcanora Toledo and Maria Christina and many others, to the nnmber of twenty. The two bodies which were lound in the, best preservation were thoso of the Grand Duchess Giovanna d'Austria, the wife of Francisco I. and their daughter Anna. Corruption had scarcely touched them, and thev lav there fresh m color, as if they badi just died. Tho mother, in her red satin. trimmed with lace, her red silk stockings aud high-heeled shoes, the ear-rings hanging from her ears, and her blonde hair as. fresh as ever; and equally jvell preserved was the body of her daughter tho color of i their faces scarcely changed. And so. centnries after thev had been laid there, the truth became evident of the ru mor that ran through t Jorcnco at the time.' of their death that they had died of poison. , The arsenic which had taken from them them life had preserved their bodies, uio-i vanna delle Bande Xere was also there i the bones scattered and loose within hisiron armor aud his rusted helmet with th: visor down.
