The Quean’s Jubilee Celebration.
This week will be an interesting ece
throughout the British empire. The prepa
rations for the celebration of the fiftieth an
niversary- of Queen Victoria's reign are very
extensive. There will be ceremonies of an
impressive character, and parades and fire
works for the amusement of the people.
The Quom will be the toast at many a ban
quet, and her loyal subjects will vie with
each other in their eipissswes of good will
and kindly feeling toward her. The Queen
herself will come forth from her partial re
tirement and take part m the jubilee festivi
ties. Since her widowhood began she has ap
peared but little in public. She is a -trauiger
to the greater portion of her subjects even in
London. It is expected, however, that dur
ing the jubilee celebration she will be the
chief figure in the principal ceremonies and
parades.
The people of England may not be very
strongly attached to royalty, and to aristo
cratic institutions, but they have very high
regard for their Queen. She has led a pure
life, and is a model woman and mother.
She has furnished an example which Eng
lish mothers can follow with safety, and
Englishmen point to with pride.
She is not a great Queen, nor in any sense
a great woman, but she has had a remark
ably successful reign. At the close of the
fiftieth year of her rule the British Empire
is greater than it ever was. Although hav
ing strong domestic inclinations she hes
always taken a lively interest in public af
fairs. Her aim has been to promote tlm
welfare of her subjects, anil to increase IV
greatness of her Empire, but it is probable
that the chief thought that has occupied ter
mind throughout the gi-eater port of
her reign is how to strengthen the hold of
her family upon England. To insure the
throne to her descendants she became Em
press of India, consented to the marriage of
a daughter to oue of her subjects, and has
been diligent in the accumulation of wealth.
It is by no means certain, however, that
at the end of the next fifty years one of her
family will occupy the throne. Indeed,
there are reasons for doubting that there
will be a throne. England is growing more
democratic each year. The people are
gradually acquiring the power which roy
alty- and the aristocracy have enjoyed ex
clusively. The House of Lord,s, the estab
lished church and the privileges of the no
bility are losing favor, and the time that
will witness their overthrow may be near
at hand.
Whatever of sincerity there will be in the
rejoicings of the present week will be due to
the admiration of the womanly qualities of
the Queeu, and not to any marked appre
ciation of royalty. It is probable that the
Queen,'to some extent, realizes this, and
beneath the smiling face that she will pre
sent during the jubilee celebration, it may
lie that she will carry an aching heart. If
she could feel that the people were loyal to
royalty and to aristocratic institutions, and
that they would stand as firmly by those
who are to succeed her on the throne as they
have stood by her, the present week, doubt
less, would be one of the happiest of her life.
The jubilee funds were not forthcoming
without much urging. The hearts of the
masses are not in the celebration. The
trouble in Ireland, and the grave questions
which are pending in Parliament, make a
deeper impression upon the people than the
celebration, and while they will join in the
rejoicings, and give expression to kindly
sentiments toward the Queen, they will do
so ivith the feeling that the throne and its
props are in a rather skaky condition.
The Course of True Love.
The course of true love is sometimes
straight and sometimes crooked. This is
not as the poet expressed it, but it is plain
prose that may be eusily understood. When
true love is straight its affairs never obtrude
themselves upon the public; but when it is
crooked the public is generally made ac
quainted with all the details. Formerly the
gossips spread the news about true love’s
tribulations, but now it is spread by the
newspapers. The Cincinnati Enquirer, for
instance, tells a tale that will provoke the
sympathy of every lad or lass that feels the
sting of one of Cupid’s darts.
For more than a year Henry French, a
well-known and popular young man of
Wilkesbarro, Pa., devoted himself, with all
the ardor of a nature said to be unusually
intense, to Miss Mary Meehan, a lovely
blondo residing in the southern portion of
the city. She reciprocated his devotion and
plighted her troth to him. Unfortunately,
Henry had auburn hair. The Enquirer
says auburn, but the painful truth is Hcury’s
hair was a fiery red. The Meehans ad
mitted Henry’s good qualities, but they
drew the line at his hair. In fact,
they despised him becauso of his hair.
Mrs. Meehan declared w-ith many on em
phatic shake of the head and gesture of the
hand that she would not allow her daughter
to wed a man whose hair made her think of a
conflagration every time she saw it. Miss
Mary, however, resented her mother’s offen
sive langauge concerning Henry’s liair, and
boldly announced that she would, marry
him or take jison and end her earthly ex
istence.' Evox-y effort was made to keep the
lovers apart, but without success. They
established a code of secret signals, and
when she would signal that the objecting
parent was out of the way, he would seize
the occasion to enjoy a short but sweet in
terview. Miss Mary’s two brothers sus
pected that the lovers were secretly meet
ing each other, and they consulted together
to devise a plan that M-ould effectually pre
vent Henry from showing his red hair on
the premises. They watched Miss Mary’s
windows several nights, and were finally re
warded by seeing Henry stealthily approach
the front gate. When lie was least expect
ing an assault, they seized him and placed
him in a rough coffin constructed
for the occasion. They then close.! die lid
and held him prisoner until he swore that
he would never seek Miss Mary again. So
far he luis kept his oath, but he has brought
suit against the two brothers to recover
damages for assault and battery, declaring
that while he was in the coffin lie was nearly
suffocated.
Many times has the course of true love
been crooked, but never before lias it been
crooked under circumstances so sad. No
doubt tho names of Henry and Miss Mary
will yet bo einbajmed in poetry by some
genius worthy of.tljo task. ■<

THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, JUNE lit, 1887-TWELVE PAGES.
Tho Grand Army Flurry.
Tbt excitement over the battle flags inel ■
•1-r.t is quieting down, and those of the
Grand Army people who were so yiolent in
tho expression of their feelings are U’gin
nu sr to feel that they made a rather sorry
exhil- tiou tf themselves. Now that the
truth of tho whole matter has been pub
lished it has been found that no request for
any • : the banners was ever received at the
War Department from tho Soul h. The
proposition to return them to those to whom
they originally belonged was suggested to
the Adjutant General of the army by re
quests from Northern States for Union ban
ners. He thought it would be a grace
ful thing to return the Confed
emte banners to tho States from
whose troops they were originally
taken, and the Governers of these States
offered no objection. They do not appear to
have shown any great desire for the flags,
and what they have said since the flurry
over them shows that they would much
rather let them remain where they are than
that they should be made the occasion of
arousing feelings of bitterness between the
Northern and Southern people. Gov. Lee,
of Virginia, speaking aliout the matter, said
that while the Southerners would have ac
cepted the banners they were content to let
them remain where they ere. Ho also re
marked that “flags captured from Northern
troops, by Southern soldiers, have been re
turned, in some cases with ceremony. The
country should not again lie agitated by
pieces of bunting that mean nothing now.
The South is part and parcel of the Union
to-day and means to do her part toward in
creasing the prosperity and maintaining the
peace of the republic, whether the flags rot
in Washington or are restored to their for
mer custodians. ”
This kind of talk is much more sensible
than the foolish utterances of Gen. Fair
child, mid will commend itself to the masses
of the people.
The South had no part in creating this
flurry. She didn’t ask for the flags, and
didn’t get excited when the Grand Army
and the Republican organs raised a howl
over the-proposition to return them. The
whole affair is a Northern one. The excite
ment that was stirred up, over what was in
tended to lie only an evidence of returned
good feeling, was expected, no doubt, to
furnish political capital for the
Republican party. If the Southern
people had shown any feeling in the matter
the political schemers might have scored a
[Kiint, but as they remained indifferent the
affair will have no influence in politics.
The mischief-makers have accomplished
nothing beyond making themselves ridicu
lous in the estimation of the country.
Kalakaua’s Kingdom.
King Knlakaua, of Hawaii, appears to be
having a good deal of trouble during thq
absence of Queen Kapiolani, who is in Lon
don taking part in the jubilee festivities of
Queen Victoria. He has conducted public
affairs in such a way that there is a very
fair prospect that he will have a revolution
to contend with. When the Queen returns
she may find tho kingdom turned into
a republic, and the King of no more im
portance than hundreds of other natives of
Honolulu.
It is probable that the presence of the
Queen is necessary to keep the King in the
straight and narrow path in which he should
walk. If that is the case the Queen will act
wisely by getting back to Honolulu as
quickly as she can.
It® seems that both the Chinese and the
white population are collecting arms for the
purpose of deposing the King, and the King
has collected arms ami ammunition in his
palace with the purpose of defending him
self and maintaining his position. It is said
tliat about everybody with any influence in
Hawaii is of the opinion that there ought to
lie a change in the government because
Kalakaua is w holly unfit to rule. He lacks
both integrity and ability, and thinks
of little else than his pleasures, and
very coarse pleasures they are. He
squanders the public revenues instead of
applying them to the purposes for which
they are intended. The result is that noth-'
ing Is being done in the wav of public im
provements and the jieople are every day
becoming more dissatisfied. It used to be
said that Claus Spreckles, of San Francisco,
was tho real King of Hawaii, but he does
not exercise as much influence there as he
once did. What influence he had he proba
bly bought. The chances are that the King
wanted more money than he was willing to
furnish, and he concluded he could get
along as well without the King’s help ns
with it. It would interfere greatly with
Queen Kapiolani’s plans and pleasures if
the King should be deposed before the jubi
lee eelebration is over. Without the title
of Queen she would cut a rather sorry figure
in Loudon.
The Boston Herald and tho New Orleans
Times Democrat differ widely as to who
will succeed Secretary Lamar in case he is
appointed Justice of the United States Su
preme Court. The Herald lias it from
Washington that Senator Ransom, of North
Carolina, has been offered the place of Sec
retary of the Interior, and that he will un -
doubtedly accept. The Times-De moc rat's
Washington correspondent telegraphs that
Senator Colquitt, of Georgia, will step into
Secretary Lamar’s shoes. The Sonator and
the President, it is said, are on intimate
terms. Tho former is reported not to bo
tired of tho Senate, but it is asserted that
he wishes to avoid “the hot fight which is
approaching in Georgia." One of the Sena
tor’s friends is quoted assaying: “Gov. Gor
don, I think, desires to return to tho Sen
ate, and there is already the appearance
down there of a sentiment which only needs
to be organized to secure that result.” Go
away from home to learn the news—and the
news about Senator Colquitt and Gov.
Gordon, by the way, will interest the home
folks.
In n Western town, the other day, a man
M'lio aspired to be a teacher gavo the follow
ing answer to a question put to him by the
examining board; “The cause of the change
of season is the earth works up toward tho
north pole in summer and tho earth works
down toward the south jiolo in tho winter."
Ho was rejected, but there are teachers, in
this country who are not half as well quali
fied for their business ns he.
Mrs. Amanda Delroas, one of tho most suc
cessful sugar planters of Louisiuna, was re

ciation. She is a Creole, and is a shining
example of what a Creole lady can do when
thrown upon her own resources. She man
ages her plantation with great success, anil
makes a very handsome income from it.
There is some talk of Mr. Lamar or Mr.
Carlisle for Vice President. It is probable
tliat neither is anxious for the position, and
it is doubtful if either would accept it.

Let Us Hava Peace.
From the Few York Herald hid.)
It was a plan worthy of the iTesident of a
united iieople. It ha-1 its origin in that pre
science which takes In the future and would
prepare to fitly welcome it. It reminds us of
tho words of Grant on lhs deathbed: "l feel
that we are on the eve of anew era, when there
is to be great harmony between tiie Federal and
the Confederate. 1 cannot stay to be a living
witness to tin- correctness of this prophecy, but
I feel it within me that it is to be so. * * * Let

He Should Do His Own Killing.
From the Few York Evening Post i/mi.)
We suggest now that if t here has to be any
further loss of life in this quarrel. Gen. Fairchild
should do his own killing. If he or nny other
veteran thinks the President ought to die for re
storing the captured flags, he must not blasphe
mously call on God to slay him, but step up like
a man and assassinate him himself. If anything
can justify the President's course, however, it
would be talk like this. People will naturally
say that things which call forth such ravings
must be excusable, that it cannot be far wrong
to do for peace and good will what fanatics
resent in this fashion.
Will be Approved by the Country.
From the Feta York Star ( Dem.)
The course of the President in directing that
the delivery of battle flags to States be suspend
ed will bo approved by the country. North and
South. The matter is one in which it is proper
to carefully regard the sentiment of all sections
and associations, and that end can be best se
cured by submitting the question to the ♦onsid
eration of Crngress. The frank admission that
inquiry lias shown that the deparmeutal order
lacked that specific authority of law without
which it should not have been issued or ap
proved. is characteristic of President Cleveland's
manly way of dealing with questions of public
duty. .

this card—lL. B. H., S. B„ P. 0., A. and E.?”
“That’s to keep score by. I know all about
it : Mr. Byrne showed me yesterday."
"Do tell me; that's u dear."
‘ -The R. means runs. You mark down when
a man makes a run."
"But what s a run?"
“When the men run around the path. The
B. H. means base hits. When the men run
around and hit the bases with their feet that's
a base hit.”
“What's a base?"
“One of those bags on the corner of the path.
Now, the 8. B. means stolen base."
“Do the men steal them? I should think they
wouldn't do that in broad daylight."
"Well, that's what it means, anyway. Then
P. O. means—let me see—P. O.—P. O.— ’’

"No-no-no. I forget that. A. means assist.
That man that steads in the corner of the chalk
mark and hollers to the man to run. He’s as
sisting him. E.—dear me, I forget that, too.
I wish Mr. Byrne was here. He a tell us.”
“Never mind, Jen. you know lots already.”
“Oh, I know. It means errors."
"What's those?”
“When the umpire says a man is out and he
isn't, that's an error, I "believe.”
••Of course it is. Jen, how long will this

“About two hours.'’
“I’ve got SB. Let's go down town and get ice

The Scripture Lesson for the Day.
From the New York Tribune.
The Scriptmes are full of passages that might
be property quoted as bearing upon the events
ot yesterday. Some of them are as follows:
But while men slept his enemy came and sowed
tares among the wneat and went his way.—
Matt., xiii., 25.
Then said He to another. And how much
oweat thou? And he said, An hundred meas
ures of wheat. And He said unto him. Take
thy bill and write four score—Luke, xvi., 7.
Thou shalt not wholly reap the corners.—Lev.,
xix., 9.
I said I would scatter them into corners.—
Dent., xxxiii.. 86.
It may chance of wheat or some other grain.
—I. Cor., xv.. 37.
He shall fall himself into his own pit.—Prov.
xxviii., 10.
And behold there came a great wind from the
wilderness and smote the four corners.—Job,
i., 19.
Many bulls have compassed me: strong bulls
of Bashan have beset me round.—Psa., xxii., 12.
Rebuke the multitude of the bulls, with the
calves of the people.—Psa., lxviii.. 30.
And behold another beast, a second, like to a
bear, and it raised up itself on one side, and it
had three ribs in the mouth of it. between the
teeth of it: and they said thus unto it: Arise,
devour much flesh.—Dan. vii., 5.
I will meet them as a bear that is bereaved of
her whelps, and will rend the caul of their heart.
—Hosea, xiii., 8.
Their cornei-s are desolate, their streets waste.
—Zeph., ili.. 6.
Let thistles grow instead of wheat, and cockle
instead of barley. The words of Job are ended.
—Job, xxxi., 40.
And they shall go down quick into the pit.
Then shall ye understand that t hese men have
provoked the Lord.—Num., xvi., 30.
Who Speaks First?
“O, hello! hello! hello!”
Old Lady Vie doth shout;
“Send me some other fellow—
My Laureate's got the gout.
“Long time the Mine has staggered
* And wobbled all about;
Now, grim and gray and haggard.
She gives in to the gout.
“Oh, Fate is democretic!
No man her sway may flout;
The Muse she is rheumatic,
And Alfred’s got the gout.
“The lofty pale of title
Won’t keep the beldame out;
She claims her own requital,
And gives my lord the gout.
“Poor Pegasus has flung him;
The steed's played out, no doubt,
Since cruel Fate's hamstrung him
And goaded him with gout.
“Fact is I'm getting tired!
I'd really like to knout
The puling peer I’ve hired
Who’s knuckled to the gout.
“■What! Swathe the Muse in flannels?
All swaddled in a clout,
Hirn' the Victorian annals
Let her limp on with gout.
“Just send some other poet.
Some lusty, springing sprout,
Some genius who can go if
And get the best of gout I"
M. A. B.
Too Thin!
From the Bouton Herald.
I came upon a party of girls engaged in a
mysterious operation. One had her dress
sleeves off. aua another was applying pieces of
wet cloth to her arms.
“What's the matter with Maria? Rheuma
tism in her back?” I asked.
“Mercy, no; we are trying samples for our
suits,’’ returned one of them.
I was mystified. Girl No. 3 was slopping a
piece of white wool material up and down in a
wash bowl. She squeezed it out, and, removing
the other wet rag, spread this fresh pice over
Maria's arm. Maria shuddered. The girls all
stood around. No. 3 exclaimed: “That shows
through beautifully. You can see Maria’s pink
complexion just as plain!”
"That's the 75c. piece, ain’t it it?" asked Ma
ria.
"Yes, dear; and this is the one you can't see a
thing through—that 50c. stuff.” .
Then it came out. The sweet buds of inuo
cenee were deciding about the materials for
their bathing suits, and the one that "showed
through” was the one selected.
“Why, it's lovely," said girl No. 2; “you can
see the mole on Maria’s arm. Ma wants me to
have blue flannel—as if there was any fun in
blue flannel | You just see if the men ever pay
much attention to blue flannel. I say they
dpn't.”
“I’ve been thinking.” mused the quiet miss,
who had not spoken before, “how pink nun's
veiling made double would look?”
“Not nice at all,” answered Maria; “cream
white is best. Then one's own pink arms show
through. I don't know what Annie will do, any
way. She’s just chocolate color under her
sleeves; she'll come out like a mulatto."
Amos Was Equal to the Occasion.
From the Providence Journal.
A few dnys ago a South Main street market
man bought a lot of live fowl and determined to
kill and dresstbem himself. Therefore he hired
to help him a certain map whose first name is
Amos. During the dressing of the fowls Ainos
picked up one and said: “Hero is a flue one that
will weigh three pounds when dressed."
The marketman thought differently, however,
and soon a bajnas made, $3 being puL tip by
each jmnyJm.c rnnrkelmnn bettiug Unit (t
would nofßTd Amos betting it would weigh
three noun*. Another man who was present
also backed up the marketman, putting up
another dollar, making f7 in the pool. Amos
now bvatgreeinent starred for toe market,
where fA was to have Ihe fowl weighed,
nnd tjWtlso i Airing the voucher of the uerron
w.'iHjrJg: it. "font he reached the market he
Htoj/fn at a certain grncwjr store and weighed
the chicken there, and it just turned the scale at
two pounds fourteen ounces. Atnon procured
four ounces of tea lead and stuffed it into the
fowl, and he then proceeded to the market and
had tlie clerk weigh it, and hen- it turned the
balances at three pounds two ounces; and the
clerk gave to Amos the certified weight. Amos
now proceeded back to the two other parties to
the bet and presented the affidavit of weight,
and took the $7 and started*off to get drunk
with it, since which time nothing has been stum
of him. The markotman soon discovered that
he had been duped, and is looking for his de
ceiver with blood In bis eye and a cleaver in his
hand.

two years more, and iinally seized for debt. She
then ran under the British flag auri upon a rock

raised her and are now running her along the
Japanese coast..
The Compte de Paris has been receiving his
adherents from various parts of France at San
Remo and at Lausanne, and is reported to have
been greatly cheered by their reports. It is
rather odd that just when we are told that the
royal cause is "looking up," an advertisement
should appear of a sale of Bourbon relics, "by
one of the most aristocratic of French families. ’
One of the items is "some hair found in the
grave of the Queen Marie Antoinette in 1815."
The newspaper funny men, by starting the
yam that Prof. Hjorth Boyesen gets 810,000 a
year from a prominent publishing firm for the
use of the "js" in his name, with which they
niisspel it, have brought down upon him en ava
lanche of letters from an army of unsuspected
relatives, asking for assistance from him. This
may seem funny to most people, hut it does not
strike Prof. Boyesen that way. He claims that
the Americans are utterly lacking in a sense of
humor, and would like to drive the alleged joke
home into the head of its originator if he could
only catch him.
A farmer in Cundinamarca (Colombia), a dis
patch from Panama states, had an extraordi
nary experience with a stroke of lightning some
days ago. As reported, the results were that
his left eye was damaged and the eyebrow was
burned completely off. The hair surrounding
his ears, a port ion of his beard and all the hair
on his breast were burned off. All the brass
buttons disappeared from his clothing, his
watch chain was cut in two, a small hole was
bored through his watch and the watch glass
was shattered and his right side was burned.
He suffered severely, but is recovering rapidly
under medical treatment.
About the year 1832 Mrs. Joshua Blake, wife
of Joshua Blake, of an old mercantile house on
Central Wharf, Boston, sent her son, Joshua
Blake, Jr., then an officer in the United States
Navy, stationed at Jamaica, a box of Havana
cigars. His vessel left Jamaica before the
arrival of the package, and it was retained in
the custom house there thirty-five years. Sub
sequently it was sent to the New Y ork custom
house, 'where it remained twenty more years.
It was then brought to light, ana recently came
into possession of its rightful owner, Mr. Joshua
Blake, of Boston, who has tested the quality of
a sample cigar 55 years old, and found that it
had not depreciated in quality.
The Haydn monument recently unveiled in
Vienna bears a more than life-sized statue of
the great composer. In his left hand is a scroll
with golden characters, while the right holds a
pencil. The face is very life-like, and the ex
pression is bright with inspiration. The white
marble of the figure. enveloped in the long folds
of a loose mantle forming the background, con
trasts with the fawn-colored marble of the
Tyrol, of which the pedestal is made. The
whole is raised on steps of gray granite. Splen
did laurel wreaths were deposited at the monu
ment by all the musical societies of Vienna.
Some withered flowers came from England,
and, being sent by admirers of Haydn,were laid
side by side with the fresh blossoms.
There is one man who is deserving of a place
in the history of the discovery of natural gas.
Dr. Osterleni, of Findlay, knew of its presence
there fifty years ago. He was passing a stone
quarfy and detected its presence. He mndc a
little cone of mud over a fissure, and put a
bucket over the orifice. In a few minutes he
struck a match under the bucket. When the
Doctor picked himself up in the adjoining corn
field the bucket was still in the air. sailing north
iu the direction of Toledo. It was through Dr.
Osterleni's energy, fifty years later, that the
first natural gas company in the town was or
ganized. He had been laughed at and derided
for half a century, and even after the flow had
been struck in 1884, they say a good many of
the people thought Old Nick had a hand in the
thing somewhere.
The Pall Mall Gazette is bitter at the expense
of Queen Victoria. For years, says an editorial
article, her majesty lias been a sort of “She" to
the nation, surrounded with a halo of mystery,
whose existence was a matter of doubt to many
of her subjects. The jubilee year was thought
to lie an atonement for long years of moody se
clusion. Yet at the drawing-room on Tuesday
“She" dodged out of one of the back doors of
Buckingham Palace and disappointed many
thousands of people, who had waited patiently
for hours to catch a passing glimpse of her face.
Last week Cody's circus was abruptly closed to
the public in order to gratify another whim of
our sovereign lady, aud the nation had to pay a
hundred pojjcemen to ward off the attentions of
a too loyal crowd, although Cody and Red Shirt
were received like blood relations.
A piece of interesting information reaches me
from a trustworthy source, writes a St. Peters
burg correspondent of the London Times. It
will bo remembered that the submission of the
Merr Turcomans was gained by help of the
famous Moscow merchant Kouschine, who sent
his so-called trading caravan into Merv iu charge
of AJikhanoff and other officers in disguise.
For Hie great services (hen rendered, this pio
noer of Russian conquests iu Central Asia lias
been rewarded with a patent of hereditary no
bility. His firm is well known for its manufac
ture of cheap and highly colored cottou prints
for the Asia market, and the arms now granted
to him and his descendants display three bob
bins, indicating the means of his elevation to
rank and fortune. Precisely the same caravan
tricks, I am assured, are now tried In Afghan
Turkestan and by exactly the same persons.
This Moscow house is full of enterprise, and be

under our very eyes.
In a posthumous prose work by Victor Hugo
entitled “Chosen Vues," published in Parts re
cently, he thus relates a conversation he had
w ith the lute Louis Philiupe: King Louis Phil
ipiie said to me the other day, “I was never In
love but on ein my life.” “And with w mm'"
"\Mtli Mute, de i.enlls" “But, sue, she was
your governess." The King laughed and re-
Shcrl: “Yes, and a severe ono, I promise you
he brought up ray sister and myself with fo
roritv. She had us out of bed at 0 o'clock in
tin- morning, winter as well as flsumrm-r. We
never bad anything but intlk, roast‘meat and
bread; no sweetmeats nor delicacies; all work
and no play. She taught me to sleep on u plank
and to bleed like a barber, to mend chairs and
tallies, to use bricks and mortar, and to tend
horses like an ostler. As I grew up I saw that
she was pretty, and I did not know what was the
matter with me when 1 wus under the six'll of
her presence; but she knew, and treated mo
badly. That was the time when she was Mint
beau s mistress. She used to say to (me every
moment: 'Now, then, Monsieur do Chartres, you
great booby, what is the rentier with you and
why are you always after me)’ She was 3U then
and 1 wus lb."
