SATVT3 AND SINNERS.
Richard Beau.. There goes a woman, who, loving too 111 ' (Was there doom In her blood?) in time became . Dark with ulcers of mind and will Spotted with sin and shame. But I think, by the awful look in her eyes (The woman who fled to the Lord looked so). That down in her heart she moans and aries Wilh immedicable woe. There goes a column of circumspect.- See, How clean and comely, and sleek and fair. And unto the ultimate degree Prim and proper they are. Ah, worlding ! you need not pry nor peek Into their secrets lor fault or flaw ; They are not ot your kidney, frail and weak They are strong, and walk by the Law. But see! They have caught a glim pes of her skirts. How keen they are on the scent for sin ! And t he hound li the heart of each asserts Itself, and the pack begin. Bravely, my masters ! Mangle her now ! What to you is her hideous stress? Tear and trample from foot to brow Her clothed unhallowedness. There, there enough now. Handsomely done? How whitely your teeth gleam when you snarl. And how, like an arrowed deer, did run Whither? the maddened girl. Is that a gout of blood on your glove? You say her breath had noisome smell? And something, I think, said of love, By some one can you tell? TRAPPED BY AN HEIRESS. A cosier place than the big sitting-room at Hillcrest would have been hard to find, if one had traveled from Land's End to John O' Groat's; and this eventful evening, when the destinies of two worthy people were about taking definite form two people who had never seen each other, and who had heard of eack other so often that both were curiously eager to meeton this important evening the sitting room at Hillcrest had never looked pleasanter or cosier. A huge fire of logs glowed like molten carbuncles in the open fireplace. On the table, in the center of the floor, whose cover matched the glowing crimson of the carpet, was a silver stand that held a dozen snowy wax-tapers, whose beaming light contrasted exquisitely with the ruddy glow of the fire. Beside the table, In a big, cushioned chair, with his feet thrust toward the ' genial warmth on the hearth, his gray dressinggown sitting comfortably on bis portly, form, his gold-rimmed glasses on his nose, sat the owner and master of Hillcrest, Mr. Abiah Cressington, rich, good-natured, and fond of his own way. Opposite him was the mistress of the little place little, shrewd-faced, sharp-nosed, merry Aunt Cornelia, his sister, who, since her widowhood, had come to Hillcrest to make her bachelor brother's home aa pleasant as she could. That she had succeeded was very evident by the way now in which he looked up from tial, kindly way in which he did it. "Walter writes a curious letter im re sponse to my invitation to come and spend a few weeks at Hillcrest a3 soon as he gets over his fatigue from his ocean voyage home, after his five years' tour abroad. I'll read it to you." , He leaned near the softly glowing lights, and began the short, concise reply that Walter Austin had written from his chamber in the Temple: JYou sre very kind indeed, Uncle Abiah, to ask me down to Hillcrest for as long as I wish to stay, and I can assure you that I have been so long a wanderer that the idea of a home is very pleasant to me. Bat when I take into consideration the peculiar importance you propose attaching to my visit, I am unwilling to accept the invitation. To me, the idea of having my fancies and in clinations put into harness, and to feel that I am on continual duty to win my way into the good graces of my second cousin, Mabel, whom you are good enough to wish me to marry " Mrs. Cornelia interrupted sharply: "Abiah, you surely never went and told our grandnephew that you had in view his marriage with Mabel." Her tone was energetic, almost reprehen Hive. "Why not? I certainly did. I told him in my letter that it wa? a chance for him he'd never sht again, and that he needn't feel under bach terrible obligations to take a fancy to Phil's little Mabel, but to come down and be cousinly, and if anything should happen, it d be right all around." ' Mrs. Cornelia knitted vigorously, her lavender cap-ribbons quivering in the mel low taper glow. All I have to say is, you're a fool, Abiah! Walter is right. A young man doesn't like to have his fancies under rein and whip, and the very fact that we want him to marry, will make him indisposed to do it You've made a very great mistake in the beginning." Mr. Cressington looked aghast at hia sis ter's determined face. "Why, 1 really didn't suppose " "Of course you- didn't. - It's only your natural stupidity, you dear old fellow! Men are all alike. Don't I know them like a book? And you've ruined your hopes for Mabel and Walter at the very outset." Mr. Cressington started discomritedly. "I am sure I meant it all right enough, Cornelia. I certainly wanted Walter to know what a little darling our Mable is, and what a nice little wife she would make for anv man." "Very commendable, indeed ; only if you - had consulted me upon the letter you sent. I should have advised yott to say nothing about Mabel, or her charms, or expectations. I should have simply asked him to come and see us, and have lett the rest to Jiaoei a blue eyes, ion see, Aoianr' His lips compressed slowly. "I think I see. And my hopes ' in that direction are all ruined!" The silver needles clicked rapidly, and the snow-white yarn came reeling merrily off the ball under the arm. "Not at all. Leave that to me, and I'll see what can be done. Trust a woman's wit to get even a hindering old fellow like yourself out oi a scrape. . She smiled and nodded, and looked alto eether so mischievous that Mr. Cressington ' , . j , 1 : i ai - Decame quite exciusu over ueriiiiiciujowjfjf. "Do exDiain. Cornelia." And when she explained he leaned back In his chair with an expression of positive awe and admiration on his face. "What a woman vou are. Cornelia? I de clare, it beats anything I ever heard in the whole course of my life! '.: - . . .. . ,,..- After dusk e glorious winter day, with here and there a star twinkling in the pale gray sky, and the lights and fires in the Hillcrest sitting room . making an elegant welcome to Walter Austin, as he stood in the midst of the home circle, tall, gentie TTionlv TiMiidsome and self-possessed. Old Mr. Cressineton . was in his richest humor as he led forward two young girls. "Come, don't shy dow. Walter, this is your couiin, Mabel Cressington, and this Is her good friend and inseparable companion, Irene Vance, come to help entertain you. My nephew, Mr. Walter Austin, girls. And this is Aunt Cornelia you remember her well enough, heyT' ' And so the presentation Wis merrily gotten over, and Walter (ound himself at home in the most pleasant family he .had ever known, . ' They were remarkably pretty girls, with blue eyes although Miss Vance's were decidedly the deeper blue and more bewitching and lovely, yellow-gold hair. Walter found himself admiring the style of Miss Vance's coiffure before he had known her . an hour; and when he went up to his room ' that night n leit as u oeiween uia iwo, roguish Mable and sweet little Irene, he never would come oat heart-whole. "For Mable is good little darling," tboncht be. "and I will take great ancle
Abiah'a advice and fall in love with her,
and thereby secure a generous share of the Cressington estates. Egad! ' that's a happy
thought," - ". But the handsome youDg gentleman went to sleep and dreamed, instead of Mabel's laughingeyes, of Irene's gentle, tender ones; and awake somewhere In the night, unable to get to sleep again for thinking of her.' And the after days were not much better. Despite the golden value of Mabel, there was something about Irene Vance that made this headstrong fellow very foolishly indifferent to the advice he had sworn to follow, i Because, by Jove! a fellow would have to be made out of granite to resist the sweet, shy ways as such a little darling as Irene. And I if marry her if she 11 have me, and the money and property can go to the dogs! I've a head and a pair of hands, and blueeyed Irene shall not sutler." '"' it was not an hour later that he met her in the hall, carrying great boughs of holly, with which to festoon, down the walnut stair-case. ' "Give me your burden, Irene," said he. Why did yon not tell me that you were going to gather it, and let me go with you? It is altogether too heavy a burden for your arms to bear." He managed to get the lovely sprays from her arms, but it required an immense amount of tardy effort on his part, and shy, sweet blushing on her's. Answer me, Irene. Why didn t you let me go with you? Wouldn't you have liked it?" He demanded her answer in a most captivating, lordly way, and she dropped her eyes in great confusion. "Yea" "Then why wer you so cruel to me?" "I am not cruel to anybody. Indeed, I must go now." Walter placed himself 3quarely in the way, and was looking down at her rose-tinted face. - "So, you can't go yet Irene, you are cruel. or you would never deprive one ot the op portunity to enjoy the blessedness of your sociecy." His voice lowered tenderly, and he dropped his head nearer her golden curls. 'You know I think it cruel m you to bs so distant, and shy, and reserved with me don't you, Irene" she shrank away, her lovely form droop ing like a lilly, her cheeks hanging out their Bigns of distress and confusion. Oh, please don't talk to me. Indeed, I must go! Mabel is waiting for the holly, and she they won't like it if " But she was a prisoner in his tight clasp. "If what? If they find you and me talk ing so confidentially together?" JNo! l mean if I don't take the holly at once." Walter put his arm around her waist be fore he knew what he was about. 'Irene, look no. You shall not go until you let me see in your eyes if you love me as well as I love your Irene, my dear lit tle gin, l love you very dearly." she was silent for one second, and be saw the quiver of her red lips. Then she raised her head s.owly, shyly. You love me Oh, Walter, what will they all say? . I am. nobody, Walter, and Mabel is an heiress." . Walter had both arms around her by this time, and was looking ardently m her glow ing face. ... I know Mabel is an heiress, and a nice little girl ; and I also know you are a darling my darlir.g and the only girl l ever asked to be my wife, or ever shall ask. Say yes, pet" His tones were low and tender, but tri umphant. 'And you can deliberately give up so much for only just me?" Her wondrous eyes met his bravely now and thrilled him with tee love-light in them. "Only just you, my own darling! Why. you are more than all the world to me! Come, we will go tell Uncle Abiah at once. Just one kiss, first you must!" And he had more than one or two before he led her, blushing, with tears trembling on her eye lashes, like diamonds on a golden thread, to Uncle Abiah, wbo sat in his library with Mrs. Cornelia, industriously looking over a receipt book. They looked up in surprise as Waiter walked in, Irene on his arm, a picture ot confusion. "if you please, uncie Abiah, I want your blessing and cordial consent to receive this little girl for your niece. I love her, and she loves me." Uncle Abiah looked shrewdly over his glasses at Mrs. Cornelia. ."Well, sister, what shall we say to this youth s demand? ' A broad emile ot perfect cei'.ght was on her merry face. "Sy f Why, teu them yes, and welcome; and let them know their Aunt Cornelia isn't a fool if their Uncle Abiah is." Walter looked astonished, and felt Irene's hand tremble on Lis arm. "What is it. dear?" She smiled through her tears as she looked into his inquiring eyes. "Oh, Walter, l am atraid you win oe angry. 1 am Mable. alter an, ana ana "And you have made love to your cousin, the heiress, in spite of yourself, my boy ! 8o Hillcrest is a foregone fate, after all. eh?"

And Mrs Cornelia turned over the leaves of the receipt-book until she came to "wtd ding cake, and avers that she made the match herseli: - Saved From Death by Transfusion Blood of a Sheep. St. Paul Pioneer-Press. of the At St Luke's Hospital Friday evening an operation was performed in the presence of several surgeons and interested witnesses upon William Boeckler. a young man wbo has been sick for a week with severe hem orrbages, which gives every pwi ise of sav mg his life and effecting his complete res toration of health. The patient had been suffering with daily hemorrhages, which re dnced him from a strong and vigorous man in less than a week to -o" emaciated a condition that unless something was promptly done his death would have resulted in few hours at the furthest. He was so weak that the Usual remedies utterly failed to stop the bleeding caused by quinsy.' Dr. Dedoiph who was in attendance, after the failure of all other attempts to save his patient, de cided to ' attempt the transfusion of blood into Boeckler s system,, taken from a sheep. Friday evening Drs. Dedoiph, Stone, Stamnr and McDonald- met at St Luke's hospital and performed the experiment The sick man looked like wax. ana ne was so weak as to be hardly conscious. A live sheep was brought in, and, when ail was ready, a tube was inserted into the carotid artery in the animal's neck, and then into a prominent vein in the sick man's right arm. . The blood spurted - through the inclosnre, and was permitted to continue till Boeckler commenced to ' breathe short and fast Then, the tube was re moved. All of the while the patient's con dition wat carefully wa'ched, and it is estimated that about six ounces ot the blood of the sheen passed into his arm. He soon after commenced to revive, and last evening at a late hour was feeling much better. The physicians see no reason why he should not completely recover. The operation is unusual, but is not regarded as a remarkably Aplimtfl nne. It is the first of the kind oer formed in the State, and probably the first west of Chicago, as far as any record is to ba found.

; LAUGHING INTO INSANITY.
What Pollowed tha Extraction of nine teen Teeth. ,,,... A Swedish Girl Takes Nitrons Oxide and Subsequently Exhibits Symptoms of De mentia. Removed to a Hospital, She Creates Excitement Among the ' ' Inmates A Strait-Jacket Required to Sub- " X .. due Her. - ; , New York Mercury. People familiar with the facts have been, during the past week, greatly agitated con cerning the case of Misa Hannah Deal, young Swedish lady residing in the family of Mr. Mead, on West Fifty-sixth street, who, after undergoing a dental operation under the influence of nitrous oxide, laughing gas, went crazy,' and afterward became a raving mauiac This result Is the occasion of greater surprise because, while the use of anaesthetics, such as ether and chloroform, has al ways been supposed to be attended with more or less danger, the halation of laughing gas was supposed to be harmless. It is claimed by the Col ton Dental association that 190,000 people have had their teeth extracted while under-the influence of that anaesthetic, suffering co pain nor any subsequent evil effeclk. Miss Deal has been in the employ of Mrs. F. Mead for five years, and by her lady-like manners and general efficiency endeared herself , to her mistress. She has had, it is stated, A ROMANTIC HISTOBY her native country, Sweden, and when she came here she ran away from trouble, and endeavored to leave trouble behind her, also. She is of small stature, with golden hair, large, expressive blue eys, and of gen eral attractive appearance. Her teeih have troubled her for some time past and two years ago she had the stumps of 10 teeth extracted. At that time she endured the pain without calling to her aid any gas or other emollient, and ahe suffered so greatly from the operation that she declared that she would not have another -tooth pulled with out an anesthetic. Her teeth were rotting, and she suffered greatly with toothache of late. It kept her awake nights, and she became nervous and unfitted for work. Fin ally her mistress told her she had better have the teeth removed. She reiterated her statement about the use of some article that would kill the pain, and finallv Mrs. Mead told her if she was de termined in the matter she had better go to the Cotton Dental institute and takt laugh ing gaa. un weanesaay, iiiay iu, jura. Mead accompanied Hannah to the Cooper Institute, and an examination was made of her mouth by Dr. Colton and his partner, Dr. L. M. Slocum. The latter said that NINETEEN TEETH WOULD HAVE TO UK DRAWN before she would be in condition to have false teeth fitted and inserted. Miss Deal was asked whether ahe waa ready to -undergo the operation. She declared she was, and she took possession of the patient's chair. Dr. Slocum administered the gaa She at once gave evidence of being under its influence, and the doctor began the work of extraction. Only ninn teeth had been drawn when Hannah came to sensibility and gave evidence of pair., and the gas was again gven. Then the other 10 tteth were pulled, and Miss Deal soon gave evidence of consciousness. She did not appear excited or unpleasantly affected by the gas; on the con trary, she was much calmer than most people . unaer similar cir cumstances. But .when she got into the street she began to act queeriy. As she had passed through the hallway and down the steps of the institute she seemed to be in a trance, and not yet recovered from the stupor of the operation; but after they htd walked a short distance ahe began to , . '- ,', LAUGH AND SING, Her mistress looked at her in astonish ment, as she was exciting attention, and re quested her to be quiet. But she laughed all the more, and Dy tne time tney bad reached tue house became quite hysterical. Her peals of laughter rang through the house. attracting the attention of all the inmates. She laughed and was greatly agitated with her mirth, which seemed to be of a very forced and unnatural kind, as it did not cease when every one else looked serious and tried to check her, but rolled on in cachinnation which soon became painful to listen to. They coaxed, scolded, upbraided, threatened, pitied and compassionated by turns All lo no enect She kept on laughing until bed-time. Then the reaction came. She began . to, talk of spirits. "Do you see ! THAT ANGEL UP THERE?" she inquired; "why, the air is full of them. There axe spirits everywhere. The room can not hold them ail. My own spirit is there floating near the .ceiling. B.essed spirits! uon'S you see themf They are coming down to bear me up. Now I am ris ing; up, up, higher, higher. O! its lovely here, i m soaring away, away with angel body guards." " Suddemy she gave a shriek which was heard throughout the block then she ex claimed: "I'm falling, catch me; the angels are flying away." Her countenance under went a remarkable transformation. The jubilant and happy creature waa suddenly changed into a woman of demoniac passion. She scowled and shouted and swore, tearing ner hair and becoming uncontrollable. She began to tear her clothes from her body. She seized a pitcher and hurled it across the room; a chair soon followed it then a hand some vase was dashed to atoms on the floor. She caught eight of herself in a mirror. It was enough to appall her. for the woman that met her gaze was wild of eye, raging with lever and crazed with excitement ehe pushed her hand through the glass, batter ing it in fragment!. It was evident the woman, was lunatic, and e aorta were made to restrain her. It required the united ef forts of all the members of the family and of tne servants to seep her from leaping out of the windows. Aid waa called for and the family physician was summoned. . He said the ' ' - i - - . .WOMAIf WAS A TaAJTtAC, and must be admitted to an asylum. This the family would not listen to. The doctor declared she was unsafe, and that for her to remain in the house would jeopardize her life and the lives of all the inmates. Then they looked about them to see what disposition could be made of her. Tbey did not want her to be committed to Black well's island or any other asylum. Finally tbey consulted a clergyman, and, through his lnnuence, they Obtained entrance tor her in the Presbyterian Hospital at Seventeenth street and Madison avenue. She was tan en there in carriage on the afternoon of Fri day, it took two strong men to restrain ner violence on the way. She endeavored at times to choke herself and her custodians. Aa she was conducted into the hospital the' attendants and inmates of that Institution looked in wonderment at the shriekine. struggling woman; wbo made the neighborhood resound with her cries. They were surprised, because it had been generally understood that no insane or violent person was permitted by the charter of the institution to become an inmate, and that insane persona were specially mentioned as being debarred from its privilege. . Miss Deal was conducted to one - of the wards, and for little while became quite subdued; but, when rest bad fallen upon the place and most of the inmate were aeleep, she sud denly leaped from her bed, and gave Tent
to the most uneirthly sounds, and began tearing ; . , j THE BED CLOTHING TO PIECES. ' She was seized with a perfect paroxysm of excitement, and daehed to the ground everything within her reach. She ran up and down the room, and finally shot out of he door and into another apartment, where he awakened the inmates by her cries and violent conduct.- She seemed imbued with superhuman strength, and fought like a wild beast at bay the attendants who had been called to restrain her. It was a novel sight in that unusually quiet - hospital to see this maniac Betting at defiance strong men wbo tri d to qniet her, keeping the place In an uproar. The physicians ordered her to be held quiet while 'they bared her arm, and the night nurses had great difficulty in doing so as hyperdemic ' injections of morphine were interied, and had it not been for the presence of mind and strong will of a little woman, who said to her in determined tones: "Shut up, or I will strap yon," it is doubtful whether the opiate could have been administered. Sleep was finally superinduced by the soporific. ' As soon at its effect was over, however, she became violent as before, and a - STRAIT-JACKET WAS PCT UPON HER. This kept her from doing further injury. The excited state of the woman's miad however, continued, and there was the same tendency to violence exhibited en the following day. Opiates and medicines of a quieting nature were administered and although she was still kept in a strait-jacket yesterday she had become more tractable and hed lucid intervals. She knew Mrs.
Mead when the latter called upon and expressed her great affection for her. WHAT THE CHIEF SURGEON BAYS. The chief surgeon at the hospital said in conversation with the writer that the cse was one of acute insanity or dementia. Ha thought the woman might recover with good care end treatment He explained the an;oiihetics upon the human system lucidly. He said that ether and. chloroform act as a stda'.ive upon the system, reducing the circulation, decreasing the vitality, and producing coma; the minimum of vitality is reached; hence it is dangerous where one has heart troubles to administer that wbich would tend to decrease the heart throbs, respiration or pulsation. "Thebe anaesthetics depress, retard and diminish life. Hitrons cxido or 'laughing eas,' as it is popularly called, on the other hand, ex hilarates, vitalizes, excites, increasing the circulation of the blood aud respiration. The forces of life are set at a gallop. Insensibility to pain is created by exhilaration The patientiintoxicated with oxygen. It ia thai element of the atmosphere called by some czone, which on balmy days makes people buoyant, robust, active, exhilerated, is poured into the lungs, and without which no. life could exist This waa the effect produced upon Hannah, and if reason is restored she will have to be careful how she becomes excited in the future. I hope, however, she will recover." - DR. 8. M. SLOCUM, then being called upon, said he recollected administering the gas to Miss Deal, in the presence of Mrs. Mead and Dr. Colton. He was com Dched to give it to the ladv twice before all the teeth had been extracted. She did not appear to be excited after the affair was over; on the contrary, she was exceed ingly quiet and taciturn. The gas worked to a cti'irm in ner case, and he had never seen it operate better. He said that the eUeCt ot nitrous oxide on the system was just opposite to chloroform, ether and other antes'.heucs, and admitted that !t exhilarated immeasurably. He had never before beard of any injurious effects resulting, and said that wben Dr. Colton returned from Boston they would investigate the matter. He could not understand it. He admitted that in persons of very excitable temperament the gas might make them wild and excitable for a time, but he did cot think the enacts would be lasting, or that insanity would follow, He was much interested in this new devel opment, and would watch the case with a great deal of interest The friends of the amicted woman are exceedingly anxious about her. and are interested in her behalf. and say they will spare no care or expense to have her reason restored. How Kentucky Bourbon is Made. Louisville Courier-Journal. The process is exceedingly interesting, and as but few of the millions who consume this great product of Kentucky understand how it is made, we give a description in full. The reasons why Kentucky whiskies surpass those of any other State or country are first, the superiority of the grain; second. the purity and quality of the limestone water, and last, but not least, the mode of distillation, which letter is so appropriate to tne state, in mis btate everything is slow but sure. Bourbon wntsky generally contains V0 per cent corn, 15 per cent rye. 15 per cent malt; while rye whisky contains 85 per cent of rye, and 15 per cent, ot barley malt After the ingredients are made into "mash," which is produced in a large tub, with a revolving rake to stir them, it is then run on into a fermenting apartment near wbich is a yeast room, so arranged that it is easily transported to the fermenting tubs, each of which has a capacity for holding thousands of gallons of niaab, which, when fully fermented, is called beer. For sourmash whisky the fermentation is produced without the use oi yeast When the fer mentation is effected, the beer is ran into what is called a becr-well, and from there pumped np to the beer still. The vapor now condeuees in the large copper worm, wbich ia so constructed that while tue cold water (almost ice-cold) is supplied con stantly from the well, which is run by pipes to the bottom of the worm, it runs on at the top a constant stream ot not water; thus condensation takes place, thus pro ducing the first low wines and the first distillation. The next process develops the genuine article. The low wines are pumped to a large rtcelver. and from it the bre cop per still is charged or ii'led, and then doub led by direct tire nnder the still, by which means pure whisky is obtained and the dia filiation completed. It is then pumped to a receiving room, where it is hiled into barrels, and from there is is placed in the "bonded warehouse" and stored. It takes from five to six days from the time the grain is ground before the whisky is produced and barreled. A Dress for Queen Tic to Look At. Lucy Hooper iu the Baltimore Gazette. r I have just had the pleasure of inspecting a magnificent court dress made by Leroillant tor Miss Emily Schoumberg,' of Phila delphia, who is to be presented at the second drawing-room by Mrs. John Bigelow. Miss Welsh, being unmarried, does not pre sent the American ladies at court The dress in question is entirely composed of nch white satin. The front of the skirt la trimmed with wide chenille fringe, with a heading of fine silver net and with band of large daisies and green leaves in chenille embroidery. A tand of similar embroider? edges the low corsage. The train is three yards in length (.the regulation length as prescribed by etiquette), and cut around the ' edges into large scollops. At the upper points of each scallop is set a daisy with its leaves in chenille embroidery. This train is laid in flat plaits on the right shoulder, and is clasped there by a Bingle large daisy crossing the back of the corsage transversely, and being held down at the left aide of the waist by another cluster of daisies. The method of arranging the train is far more graceful than were the Watteau plaits. With this dress Miss Schoumberg will wear a full let of diamonds, comprising three bandeaux for the hair, a necklace of floe single stones, solitaire earrings aad prote-bonhara brace let. The regulation three white feather and tulle veil will' complete thi rich and tasteful toilat, wbich will show to great advantage on the tall, slender figura of it Deauuitu wearer.
A GREAT ENGINEER. - - -
The Han Wbo Planned and Carried Ont the - ' oreat ones Vanal. The connection of this' remarkable man ith the gisantic nroiect of nnitlng the At lantic and Pacific oceans has again drawn to him the attention of tbe world, and the minutest facts of his marvelous career are J caught np with avidity. He is one of those men who know no such word as fail. His father, Count Mathien de Lesseps, was born at Biyonne; his mother, whose maiden j name was de Grevigne, waa a Spaniard, a cousin of the Montijos (the Eaiwess Eugenie's family) Ferdinand acted for some years as a French consul, like his father and j nncie. - ne was made a chevalier of the Legion cf Honor for his good conduct during the plague at Cairo, and an officer of the legion for gallantry during tbe siege of Barcelona in 1S41. In 1819 he declined the appointment of envoy extraordinary to Rome, as he differed radically from the Assembly on the Roman Question. He eave up hiB diplomatic career without regret, and sought retirement in a village in the south of France, but here he received a letter from Mohammed Said, who had succeeded his father. Mehemet Ali, saying, "Come!" Jtt. ae Liesseps had lone before conceived the project of piercing the isthmus of Saez. so he went directly to Egypt, bs if following star Kindled oy hi guardian angel. Ke became the Peter the Hermit of his Droiect He went to Constantinople eicht times in me course oi one year, iirery man who listened to hint became a convert Enthusiastic himself, he communicated his gtacd fanaticism to others. His first famous disiple was the slussish Oriential. Said Pasha. It was the eagle of the fable soaring upward with the tortoise. De Lesseps had to encounter many national prejudices and jeal ousies. Lord Palemiston told the British Parliament that he was sort of a tickoocket In the midst of his struggles a dum?siic ca lamity befell him the death of his wife and two children. Alone and unaided he pursued his grand project, until finally the viceroy of Egypt gave his firmaa : "To our friend, M. Ferdinand da Lesseps," and thus officially indorsed the enterprise. An international congress of scientists assembled aid approved the nroiector'a plans, and the enterprise tended to become one involving the national priJe of Prance. Great was the delight of M. de Lesseps when one day an old gentleman from tne west of France climbed no to the third story of his lodgings, in the Hue Richelieu, and said: "I have come, moniieur, to rubscribe to your railroad across tbe If-land of 8weden." "But my good friend," said Lesseps, "it is not a railroad, it is a canal; it is not an island, it' is an istbuiuo: it is not Sweden, it is Suz." "That's nothing to me," replied the visitor, '-bo long as it worries the English." ' After five years studv on Daoer came five years' study on the ground.
