AN EXILED MILLIONAIRE.
How Mr. Corcoran’s Horn s wa3 Saved
from Confiscation.
A Washington correspondent of the Bal
timore American says: At the outbreak of
the war, as is well known, Mr. Corcoran’s
sympathies were with the South, the conse
quence of which, not wishing to actively
identify himself with the cause, he decided
to go abroad, which he consequently did,
remaining there until the close of the long
struggle. At lust, after peace was restored,
31r. Corcoran returned from his wanderings
in foreign lands, and, with the exception of
a few short journeys and the annual summer
visit to the White Sulphur Springs, he has
remained quietly at his beautiful homo in
this city. When he determined to go
abroad 'he placed his house in the
hands of an agent, with instructions
to use every possible means to pre
vent its confiscation by the government, for
the move was so sudden there had been no
time to remove any of the elegant furniture,
hangings and works of art for which it had
long been justly celebrated. One morning
shortly after this the agent in whose hands
the house had been left,learned to his conster
nation that orders had been issued to the
medical corps of the army to take posses
sion of it ou Monday morning, the intelli
gence reaching him .Saturday. At this
time 31. Montholon, the French minister,
who came to this country from the court of
MuximiUiun, was looking about for a suita
ble residence for the legation. Hearing of
this fortunate combination of circumstan
ces, the agent at once hastened to the minis
ter, and after presenting the exact state of
the case, offered him the house upon such
advantageous conditions that the bargain
was at onco ratified. Sunday morning it
was with genuine surprise that church-goers,
en common with other pedestrians, no
ticed the French flag flying from Mr.
Corcoran's house, when the matter of its
intended confiscation was already an open
secret. The authorities were at once ap
prised of the fact, and Secretary Seward,
after a conference with the President, sent
a request to M. Montholon for an imme
diate audience. Polite and smiling, the
French Minister responded to the summons.
During the interview the Secretary of State
became greatly excited over the way affairs
had been managed, and when M. Montholon
calmly remarked that, in view of the fact
that the French flag floated over the house,
there could be no further question of con
fiscation, he blazed forth hotly, demanding
whether the French flag was broad enough
to cover such a daring act as to take posses
sion of a house which had already been con
fiscated by the government. Drawing him
self to liis full height, M. Montholon replied
in a dignified, emphatic manner: “The
French flag may not be broad enough, Mr.
Secretary, but Napoleon is.”
In February, 1866, when Gen. Grant was
stationed in Washington as commanding
General of the armv, the French Minister,
who still occupied the Corcoran house as the
legation, issued invitations for the most
magnificent ball which has probably ever
been given in Washington, and which, in
point of lavish expenditure and elegance,
rivaled any of the most noted state enter
tainments at foreign courts. Stories of the
famous Montholon ball remain as fresh in
the minds of those who attended as though
it happened but yesterday. The French
Minister, with his wife, the Marquise de
Montholon, and her mother, Mrs. Gratriot,
received the guests in the library
of the mansion, the art gal
lery having for the evening been con
verted into a ball-room, at one end
of which, in a deep recess hung with
irimson velvet, stood the famous statue of
the “Greek Slave” by Powers. The ball
was given by the order of Louis Napoleon,
in consequence of which the French ship,
then lying at Annapolis, was ordered up that
her officers might attend the entertainment.
The city was tieming with officers of the
United States army, all of those invited on
this occasion appearing in full uniform,
which added immeasurably to the brilliancy
of the occasion. The Marquise tie Montho
lon wore a magnificent dress, covered with
jeweled fleur-de-lis, ordered from Paris for
this ball, while across her breast, which was
ablaze with jewels, were the Order of Napo
leon and that of the house of Montholon
It is seldom that at any entertain
ment are gathered so many distinguished
p tsoils as were present ou that occasion.
There were then present, as brides, two
women whose names are conspicuous, not
only in this country, but abroad—Mrs.
Kate Chase Sprague, whose brunette beauty
was set off to best advantage by a dress of
white moire striped with green, while an
antique tiara of emeralds and diamonds
sparaled in her dark hair. The other bride
was the wife of Gen. Williams, of the army,
and the former widow of Stephen A. Doug
lass. She wore her wedding gown of white
silk covered with tulle, with strands of pearls
about her throat and in her blonde hair.
Tne programme of the ball was to have
had the cotillon danced at 2 o’clock, but
owing to the immense crowd—a largo por
tion of which, it was thought, were unin
vited —which surged through the rooms, it
was impossible to begin I >efore 5 o’clock
a. m., from which it lasted untii 8 o’clock,
when breakfast was served to a few
specially invited guests. The cotillon was
lei by Sir Frederick Bruce, at that time
Minister from the Court of St. James, and
a man of handsome physique and bearing.
Gen. Grant's partner was Miss Harris, who
had been one of the party in the box with
President Lincoln the night of his assassi
nation, and who subsequently married Col.
Rathbone, only to meet her tragic death at
his hands a few years since while living
abroad.
A geo I story in connection with this ball,
whicli has not heretofore appeared in print,
was told by the minister to Gen. Grant, who
enjoyed it none the less heartily because it
was at his expense. M. Montholon, being a
warm personal friend and udmircr of Gen.
Grant, issued orders to his steward at the
outset of the ball that the General was to be
treated as a special guest of honor, and the
best wine that the cellars afforded placed at
his disposal. The next day the steward
approached the minister in great
perplexity and inquired in an amazed
way who was this Gen. Grant to
whom ho was to give the best of every
thing and who had shown himself so far ap
preciative of the honor accorded that he
had called for no less than sixteen bottles of
champagne, nine bottles of brandy, nnd
whisky ad infinitum. The explanation
which shortly transpired was that the order
having been overheard by a )artv of young
fellows, they took advantage of the stew
ard's credulity, prefacing every demand for
the choicest liquors with the magic an
nouncement that it was for Gen. Grant.
From which it would seem that Shake
speare's famous qherv, “What’s in a name!”
found herein a fitting answer.
Queer Freak of Insomnia.
From the Xew York Independent.
To illustrate the alleged sleepiness of a cer
tain college town the following story is
told: A certain professor, who marie the
unusual complaint of insomnia, was advised
to consult a Now York physician. He did
so, and the latter after a most thorough ex
amination of heart, lungs and all the vital
organs, pronounced the professor absolutely
sound. "I aniata loss,” the doctor Raid,
“to account for it. You seem perfectly
well. Perhaps something is preying upon
vourmind!” “Oh, no." -aid the professor,
“nothing at all.” “Perhaps you have some
business cares!” “No: nothing of that sort. ’’
“And yet you say that you get no sleep
at night!" “Oh, no! I never said that.
I’m an right at night; but it’s insomnia in
the daytime that bothers me!”
The "Favorite Proscription.”
Dr. R. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y.,
whose name has become known over the
world through his success as a physician,
and especially through the reputation or
his "Golden Medical Discovery, has done a
good work in preparing an especial remedy
for the many distressing troubles classed as
“female weaknesses.” It i* known as the
“Favorite Prescription.” Under it* admin
istration all the pelvic organ* arc strength
ened, nnd the woman become* that embodi
ment of health and beauty which God in

BILL NYE ON THE FOURTH.
ITS CELEBRATION AT WHALEN'S
GROVE LAST YEAR.
An Oration by a Self-Made Man Which
Had Bones In It—Suggestions of Deep
Interest to Taxpayers Freedom as it
Suggests Itself to a Hickory Town
ship Man—Our Duties to a Common
Country.
From the Xew York World.
There were patriotic remarks and greased
pig exercises at Whalen’s Grove last year on
the Fourth, all of which, according to the
Sandy Mush Record-Statesman , passed off
with market! success. From the opening
prayer to the base ball contest and greased
pole doings, everything was harmonious,
and the receipts were satisfactory. Col. L.
Forsyth Heeley acted as the marshal of the
day, wearing a maroon sash and mounted
on his well-known horse, MambrinO
King. A serious accident in the
early morning was happily averted
by Col. Heely’s coolness and self-possession.
A lady from Lower Honuny, whose name
could not be ascertained, while actively on
gaged and listening to the band and holding
her young child so that it could get a good
view of the sun, became entangled in her
train, which had worked around in front,
and while recovering herself Col, L. Forsyth
Heeley canio down the street in advance of
the fire laddies. The horse was rearing
high in the air and going sidewise with a
squeaking sound, which seemed tola' caused
by the friction between his second and third
stomach. His mouth was wide open and
his fiery-red gums could be seen as far as
the eye could reach. Almost every one
thought there would be a holocaust, but at
that trying instant, as if by magic, Col.
Heely decided to go down the other street.
Our fire laddies made a fine apjiearance,
in their new, hot uniforms and were not full
during the parade, as was stated by the
Hickory township World.
Everybody seemed to feel an interest in
patriotism with the exception of an old
party from a distance who opened the exer
cises by cutting a large watermelon and dis
tributing it with a lavish hand among him
self. He then went to sleep in the corner of
a fence, where lie would have been greatly
pestered by flies if he had found out about
it in time.
After a pleasant and courteous prayer by
Rev. Mr. Meeks, in which he laid before the
Lord a National policy which he felt certain
would make a great hit, our Glee Club
sang
Oh, say can you see, etc.
Judge Larraby read the Declaration of In
dependence ill a rich, dark red voice, and a
self-made man from Hickory Township de
livered the following impromptu address,
the manuscript of which ho kindly furnish
ed to the Record-Statesman.
“Fellow-Citizens: This is the anniver
sary of tlie day when freedom towards all
and malice toward none first got a foothold
in this country. And we are now to cele
brate that day. I say that on that day
Tireny and usurpation got a setback that
they will never recover from. We then
paved the way for the poor, oppressed for
eigner, so that he could come to our shores
and take liberties with our form of govern
ment. To be a foreigner here in
America to-day is one of the
sweetest boons. If I could be just
what I would like to lie, I would be an op
pressed foreigner, landing on our shores,
free from the taxation and responsibility of
government, with no social demands made
on me, with nothing in my possession but a
hearty Godspeed from both political parties
and a strong yearning for freedom. Oh,
why was I not born an alien, that both
parties wouldn't dast to reproach; ail alien
that can come here and find a government
already established, with no flies on to it: a
government of the people, by the people and
for the people? [Firecrackers and applause.]
“On the day that Button Gwinnett put
his name to the statement that ill) men was
created more or less equal, the spot on which
we now stand was a howling wilderness.
Where yonder lemonade stand now stands
and realizes a clean profit of $47 35 on an in
vestment of $6 59, the rank thistle nodded in
the wynd and the wild fox dag his hole un
scared. If you do not believe this I refer
you to the principal of our public school,
who is to-day assisting in the baud, and who
is now in the act of up-ending his alto horn
to pour out about a teacupful of liquid mel
ody that he had left over from the last
tune.
“And why is this? Why are wo to-day a
free people, with a surplus in the Treasury
that nobody can get at! (Loudapplause and
squeal from a grass-fed horse tied to a tree
who is being kicked by a red two-vear-old
owned by the Pathmaster of Road District
No. 3.)
“Why are our resources so great that they
almost equal our liabilities! Why is ev
erything done to make it pleasant for the
rich man and every inducement held out for
the poor man to accumulate more and more
poverty? Why is it that so much is said
about the tariff by men who do not support
their families? Why is it that
when we vote for a President of
the United States we have to take
our choice between a statesmanlike candi
date with great ability ami proclivities for
grand larceny-—why is it that wo are given
our choice bet ween this kind of a man and
what Virgil refers to in his ‘Childo Harold'
as a chump? (Cheers, and cries of ‘That’s
so’ from a man who is riveted to the spot by
means of anew pitch-plank on which he is
sitting and whicli wul not permit him to
move out of the sun.)
“One hundred years ago the tastes of our
people were simpio. Now it takes so much
simplicity to keep Congress going that the
people don't get a chance at it. A century
ago common, home-made rum was the only
relaxation known to a plain but abstemious
people. Now it takes a man with a mighty
good memory to recall the names of sonioof
the things lie has drunk when his wife asks
him alxiut it on the following morning. I
claim to have a good memory of names and
things generally, but if you want to get me
mixed up and have fun with me, you ran do
It that way.
“But, fellow citizens, how can we best
presorve the blessing of freedom and fork it
over unimpaired to our children! How can
we enhance the blond-bought right which is
inherent in every human being, of the
people, for the people and by the people,
where tyrant foot hath never trod nor bigot
forged a chain, for to look back from our
country's glorious natal day or forward to
a glorious, a happy and prosperous future
with regard to purity of the ballot, or free
speech. I say for one we cannot do other
wise [Prolonged applause],
“I would rather have my right hand
eleave to the roof of my mouth than to
utter a sentiment that 1 would regret, but
I say that as a people, as a nation, or as an
inalienable right which no man can gainsay
or successfully controvert, not for political
purposes, and yet I am often led to inquire
whither arc we drifting, not only as a peo
ple and as a nation, but as a country and as
a joint School District No. 0, where we now
stand and when wo are |>aying a school
t/vvclr-r this summer £92 a month to tench
the children, little prattling children,
during the hot summer weather, how many
left of intestines there are in the human
liody and what is liest to do for it? Last
winter we paid £34 per month to a man
who o|>ened the school with prayer nnd
then made a picture of the digestive
orguns on the blackboard. And still we
wonder that, polities is corrupt!
"I toll you that the seeds of vioo and
wickedness is often sowed at school in the
minds of the young by teacher* who are
paid a large salary to ilp far different,
what do you think of a man who would
open a school with prayer and then converse
freely about the alimentary canal? Such a
man would lead a life of the deepest infamy
if he had the least encouragement.
"Ho I say. fellow citizens, that we must
guard against the influences of the public
schools ns a nation, for the people, of the
neonlennil *iv the iiaoolh F/lurntion is
often a blessing in disguise, but we should
not pry into things that the finite mind has
no business with. How much
was Galileo ahead in the long
nm for going out of his
sphere? He was boycotted from morning
till night and died poor. Look at Demos
thenes. Look at Diogenes. They pried into
science, and both of them was poor pro
viders and have since died. Of course their
names are frequently used in deluding
schools, and some claim that this is big pay
for what they went through, but I say give
me a high-stepping horse, the bright smile
of dear ones who are not related to mo in
any way, the approval of the admiring
throng, a large woolly dog that will do ns I
tell him, a modest little home and unlimited
credit at the stove, and 1 do not care how
much B. will have to use off from the
diameter of a given grindstone for which
he paid an undivided one-fifteenth.
"I know that this is regarded as a queer
doctrine by what is called our more Ad
vanced Thinkers, but I say let every man
who pants for fame select his own style of
pant and go ahead. I bid him a most hearty
Godspeed and hope he will do well.
“But what makes me mad is for a man to
come to me and dictate what I shall pant
for. This is called intolerance by people
who can afford to use words of that size.
Intolerance is a thing that makes me tired.
Whether it’s religious, political or social in
tolerance, I dislike it very much. People
that think I will enjoy voting for a yaller
dog that had boon picked out for me, or that
I will be tickled to death to indorse the re
ligious dogmas of an effete monicky witli
my eyes shet, don’t know me. 1 say, let
every man rely solely on liis own thinker,
and cinnined be he who first cries hold,
enough! lam not a profane man, but I
quote from a poem in using the above quo
tation.
“But again. In closing, let me say that
we owe it to our common country to be
peaceable citizens nnd pay our taxes with
out murmuring. The time to get in our
fine work is on the valuation, and it is too
late to kick after that. Let us cultivate a
spirit of loft}’ patriotism, but believe noth
ing just to oblige others. I used to be a
great believer in anything that was sub
mitted for my approval. That was what
kept me back. Now, if a man like Jay
Gould says lie is not feeling so well as he
did, I make him show me his tongue.
“We are here today to celebrate the
birthday of American freedom, ns I under
stand it, and I am here to say that what
ever may be said against our refinement
and our pork, our style of freedom is sought
for everywhere. It is a freedom that will
stand any climate, and I hear it very highly
spoken of wherever I go.
“I am here to state that as boy and man
I have been a constant user of American
freedom for over fifty years, and I can
truly say that I feel no desire to turn back;
also that there will be a grand, free-for-all
scuffle for a greased pig on the vacant lot
south of the church at 7 o’clock, after which
fireworks will be served to those who desire
to remain.”
And thus did the Fourth of July pass
with all its glories in Whalen's Grove in the
year of our independence the 1J oth.

A PRIVATE CIRCUS.
How a Few Rich Parisian Nobodies
Manage to Amuse Themselves.
Paris Letter to London Telegraph.
After the Grand Prix, the most remark
able event which agitates the frivolous mind
of the French world of fashion is the per
formance in which patrician clowns and
blue-blooded acrobats display their skill in
that peculiar establishment known as the
Cirque Molier. The season is, of course,
nominally over, and great ladies have pub
lished to the city and the world the fact
that they will no longer be at home on such
and such an afternoon. But the social gath
erings which were in full blast during
the fortnight preceding the Grand
Prix are still continued in many
quarters, and the comparatively small
slice of humanity known us tout Paris
has not yet disappeared into the country.
The Cirque Molier was crowded
yesterday with a contingent of spectators,
tastefully and fashiouaby dressed.
The proprietor of the circus at Pussy
is called by liis friends “El Benor Molierm,”
and lie provides two entertainments of an
equestrian kind every year. These are
classed among the spectacles copnrehic of
Paris. The first, which has just taken
place, was for the demi-monde , the rank
and file of Parisian noeeurs, or pleasure
hunters, and those jicrsons who are denomi
nated under the rattier widely npplied term
of artistes. The second performance,
which is to take place on July 12 will be
witnessed only by persons whose
pedigree must lx> as select as that of
the celebrated Highlander whose ancestors
hail a boat of their own during the flood.
Foremost among the equestrians who ca
reered yesterday before an admiring crowd
was M. Molier himself, a middle-sized, close
cropped and chestnut-moustached man,
about forty years of age, who, having noth
ing better to do with his money, hasexpend
ed a lump sum of it on his private circus,
and has submitted himself to a rigid regime
in order to dazzle Parisians by his horse
manship and general acrobatic dexterity.
Next to him came a young lady, Mile. Wal
burg, who jmnjied her horse Ivanoff
over high hurdles, and M. Adrien Marie,
the painter, who drew sketcliesof M. Molier
and of the prettiest woman in the circus
while going ut full gallop around the ring.
With these there were ancient and modern
fencing Lints, in which tallies took part.
Three ladies were dressed as clowns,undone
as a Pierrot in black, while a Mile. Rivolta
carried the palm away as a dancing liouri,
varying with voluptuous postures and
lascivious lassitude her fantastic whirl* and
tiger-like bouii'is. The whole performance
was the apotlieotcs of a few well male men
and half a dozen well shaped women, who
are rather proud of their ankles, and who
find that the ordinary mode of dress does
not permit them to exhibit their corporeal
charms as fully as they would wish.
The Magic Words.
From the Jewish K.rpnnent.
The scene of conflict was a level plain
That lay among the stretching hills of Rpain,
And on the sand that glistened in the sun
Ten thousaud lay whose hours of life had run.
Till noonday's beat, from earliest sign of dawn
The battling forces were in combat drawn,
And ere the sun sank silent in the west
A host of men had found eternal rest.
Behind the battlefield, beneath a tent,
A soldier lay on death his vision bent.
A kindly priest, that sjaike of Ood, was near.
A doctor, ue was there, hut full of fear.
Each was a Jew, had each a Hebrew's zeal,
But neither dared his name or race reveal.
Hut death had robbed them of their moral fear*;
Hero In his shadow they would sind their tears.
“Shemang Yisrenl." the dying soldier breathed
His fiicn, in death, witli fainting smiles nil
wreathed,
"Adonal Elohenco. said the man of God:
The doctor murmured, “Adonai Kchad.”
The priest reached out and grasped the doctor's
hand.
These magic words had forged a mighty band;
And then upon the doctor'* bosom lay l:s bead
And wept. The soldier now, alac! was dead.
Tho Wicked Hawaiian King.”
From an Interview with Rdward Richards.
There has been but one deedbt king in all
the island’s history, anil that was Kameha
meha 11. All the rest were debauched, ex
travagant and used their religion us a cloak
for their vices. Kalakaua lias proves Ino
exception. Tnere was in Honolulu a stand
ing army almost equal to our own, consist
ing of fifty men, “lame, halt nnd blind,”
and a navy of one boat that it would la; in
sulting to compare a canal I Hint with. Tho
King live* in a handsome frame
which cost SBO,OOO to build. Ho k'sqw a
choice and select assortment of dancing
Birls and beguilers of weariness with him all
ae time. His name is “David” in English,
and the common joke there is for foreigners
to go down into tho “Kingdom of David.”
