IN DERBYSHIRE, ENGLAND.
Observations of a Georgian Who Keeps
His Eyes and Ears Open While Travel
incr.
CIIESTEKXIELD, Exo.. July 5.--(xoing
from London into the hill country in the
North of England, l stopped for several
days at Chesterfield, in Derbyshire. It is
one of the old towns of the United King
dom. Its existence dates back to the ‘'good
old times" in England's history, “Seated m a
dale compassed in w ith oruggos and roekes,”
and watered bv tin* Mother and Hipiier, two
thickly shaded trout, streams, surrounded
with a wild aud picturesque country. Ihe
.Romans, at an early day penetrated to this
quiet retreat and huilt an elegant road to it
from the southern seaeoast, which has been
a lasting moiunneut to their enterprise and
skill.
Next came the fair-haired Saxons, who
took possession of the hamlet and erected a
strong castle, which threw its imposing
shadow over the few buildings that shei
tcnsl its inhabitants. They also gave the
town its name. They called their castle
Cestre, and the town Cestrc-in-the-fleld.
The Briton, so fond of using an li where it
is not intended, inserted one in this appella
tion and called it Chesterfield, which has
nil In-ml until the present day. t\ illiam
the Conqueror come from N< >rmnn<ly,and the
battle of Senlac was fought here, where, it
is said, the conquering 1 hike “sat down to
eat and drink among the dead.” The Con
queror gave this section of country to one
William Fever ly, a noted Norman warrior,
who ended his oareei - and forfeited his prop
erty by flight for poisoning the Earl of
Chester to get possession of the Earl's pretty
wife. ]u I 'JO 1 King John gave the posses
sion to William Briwere. .loan, the “Fair
Maid of Kent,” owned Chesterfield at an
early day of its history. Under the reign
at James I. it was the property of \\ illiam
Cavendish, and in 17SK2 it passed into the
bands of tli - Duke of Devonshire, whose fie
scendants still have possession of it. The
old Duke resides at Cliatsworth, some eight
or ten miles away, and his most famous sou,
Lord Hartiugton, who succeeds to
the dukedom at. the old man’s
death, lives at Hardwick Hull, noted
as once the prison of Mary Queen
of .Scots, which is only about six miles from
Chesterfield.
IN 1580 THE TOWN LOST
about one-fourth of its inhabitants by the
plague. In 1004 King Charles I. was the
guest of the Duke of Newcastle, just four
miles from Chesterfield, at Malsaver Castle.
The celebrated Ben Jenson in describing
the scene closes i with the following:
“Such a King
As men would wish, that knew not how to hope
llis like, but seeing him.”
The first public execut ion took place in
1637, when five men and one woman took
“that fearful leap into the dark,” which
well may make the stoutest heart to quake.
There were hundreds from all parts of the
country present to see the novelty—the
refined and elevating novelty of seeing
five miserable wretches dancing upon air.
But times hav changed, and public execu
tions are prohibited by law, and by the ad
vancement in education and public Aiorals,
Chesterfield has beome one of the most pleas
ant towns in England.
The plot for the overthrow of King James
by the Prince of Orange, was concocted in
a building which still remains with its
time-worn walls and thatched moss-grown
roof. The conspirators were the first Duke
of Devonshire, the Earl of Danby and John
D’Arcv. This was in 1688, nearly 300 years
ngo. There will t)o a grand celebration of
this event next year, 1888, in Chester
field. The old house ■ will ho
the grand centre of observation.
It will be a kind of Fourth of July to the
“Englishcrs” and many a spread eigle
eulogy will l>e pronounced upon the memory
of the three great “asserters of British free
dom. ”
There are many points of interest left
yet to those who are seeking antiquities.
Among others is the “Old Angel,” on
I'aekar’s Row. This was tho most cele
brated “Inn” between London and Man
Chester, in the good old days of “coacli-ami
four.” And there are not a few who, with
John Ruskin, detest railway carriages and
Westingliouse brakes. There is a lingering
fondness to be guided through dusty by
ways by sleepy post boys, rather than
be carried fifty miles an hour
in a Pullman palace car. And their
sorrow is not feigned however unwise it
may seem. The hotel faced the market
square, and the court in the rear was the
s, vne of many a strange and winrd spectacle.
Tho arrival of tho stage coach was the great
event of the day, and it did not make its
appearance until about 3 o’clock in the
morning. There was a continual bustle and
lite risible in and around the Angel even at
that unseemly hour. I will quote from Mr.
Joseph Hatton a description of an arrival
and departure:
“the grooms at the angel
had led out Into the market place four sleek
greys, with shining coats and polished
hoofs, and at the same moment you heard a
distant horn. Suddenly the precincts of the
Angel were alive with loungers and lookers
on. The topers in the smokoroom came to
the window and looked out, tho landlord
brought his pij>o into the street and re
garded the proceedings with pride, the
horses <-hamp<si their hits, and presently
from the eastern comer of the market place
came toiling along tho mail coach front
London to Manchester, a picture of light
ami life and elegance. A whip flourished
harmlessly over the steaming team, a horn
blown merrily behind, a flash of red and
gold, and black and silver, and the coach
pulled up under the Angel window , there
was a rush of grooms and stable helps
and luggage, horses and passengers almost
altogether poured into the inn yard, and in
less than live minutes the fresh team was
harnessed. It was a sudden bustle and ex
citement, which lasted no longer than the
arrival and dciiarture of a railway train en
route, ami had the advantage of 1 icing more
picturesque. * * * While we are thinking
of tho sights tho passengers have seen, tho
‘whip' is on the box again. ‘Now, Bill, let go
their l’.i•mis. So, ho! Beauty, steady old
lass. Away you go! Forward dashes the
team, the guard swings up behind, anil
Mary Kirk, standing with Susan Hardwick
at the post office door when the mail bags
had just bvn carried in and out, said it was
r bonny sight to see the fast coach change
horses at the Angel.”
How different now. Tho old inn, in its
age and dilapidation, has a sleepy and un
inviting appearance. The crowds that used
to gather there have passed away, and it Is
only the old |S'oplc who delight in the le
gends of the "Old Angel.'’ George Ste
phenson lias lived in Chesterfield since then.
This poor herd boy, who b .•came the orig
inator of the English railway system, spent
his last days in ( hesterfleld, ami left his im
press in the establishment of broader edu
cation for the masses, and in the improve
ment in every department of life.
And now, instead of the old lumbering
stage coach, ten or twenty railroad trains
leave the station every day. It is strange
that in tins day of hero worship that no im
posing monument bus beon erected to the
memory of George Stephenson. A plain in
scription, simple as liis own life, indicates
his resting place within the chancel of Trin
ity church. Pcrhaiw no grand: r memorial
could be erected than this marvelous railroad
system, for every engineer will 6'll the story
of his greatness and of the resources of Ins
inventive mind, which throbbed through
difficulties as unresistingly as the locomotive
under his charge, a- with it he flies from stn
tion to station. Men come hither from
nil lands to look upon the quiet resting
place of him who was t he father of the loess
motive, and the grandeur of whose fife rests
solely u j sin himself and his own exertions
and not on outward help and circumstances.
the grandest relic
of the age departed is the parish church and
its twisted steeple. Like the leaning tower
of Pisa, it is one of the world’s curiosities,
and it is visited by travelers from every
land, and no greater insult could lie offered
to the citizens of the town than to speak of
this wonderful spire in tones of disparage
ment. it has an eventful history.
t*i4' buffi in the div
the Norman conquest. But in tho
thirteenth century the cruciform shape w as
given it. It is 170 feet long; the breadth
across the transept is 100 feet, and the
| height of the spire is 330 feet. There are
marks of remarkable talent in the long ago
days in its decorated style and delicate
i tracery. The proportions of the church aro
! justly'balanced and would have, if nut for
i the spire, a most symmetrical and har
monious effect, but the citizens who have
for a generation grown up within the
shadow of the “twisted spire of lead-covered
timber” know better than to sacrifice it on
tho altar of symmetry. The steeple with
its grotesques, ridges, and flecks of black
and grey, and white, may lie ugly to some
eyes; but even as a mother lavishes her ten
derest love upon her deformed child, so tho
people of Chesterfield are sensitive about
the crooked steeple, and see beauty in its
sha[xi, although it may lie an “architectural
singularity.” .Singular it is in appearance.
It was built of wood and covered over with
)pad to shelter it from the storm and sun.
Mr. Cox, in his history of old churches, says
the slinging pressure of the lead may have
caused au irregular subsidence in tnetim
ters, which also have been powerfully
warped by the sun heating through the lead
on tho green paint on the woodwork. The tim-
Ists are almost displaced and twisted from
their original position on the south side, the
side most exposed to its rays.” It is twisted
until it looks like a corkscrew, i made an
ascent into its towers and saw- the twisted
timbers, and was astonished to know what
kept it in its place. Some local poet ex
presses the scene graphically:
“Whichever way you turn your eye
It always seems to tie awry;
Pray, can you tell the reason why?
The only reason known of weight
Is that the thing was never straight,
And while it stands, must ever be
An emblem of deformity."
SOME OP TIIK MOST EMINENT ARCHITECTS
on the continent have examined it, hut no
satisfactory conclusion has ever been
reached as to how it became twisted. About
eighty years ago the people living near the
church became alarmed, thinking the old
steeple whs about to fall. That generation
has passed aw ay and the crooked steeple
still bears the fiercest storms and shows no
more signs of giving away than it did 100
years ago.
Chesterfield contains the largest tobacco
factory in the United Kingdom. It. is sur
rounded hv a large number of coal mines,
which employ thousands of hands, and
every morning the slumbers of this Ameri
can pilgrim are disturbed hy the everlasting
clamor of the colliers’ clogs as they rush
over the stony pavements on their way to
work every morning at 5 o’clock. Fifty of
these colliers, with their heavy shoes on,
make a noise equal to a troop of horses on a
turnpike road.
The streets of Chesterfield, like the steeple,
aro twisted fearfully. They were all made
to converge to one point—the market place.
This sixit has drank in more blood than that
of bulls and goats, for many a hard conflict
in early days took place here, when some of
the best of English blood was spilled. The
people aro courteous and hospitable, both
of which the American pilgrims have
shared.

infectious DRUNKENNESS.
Reformed Men Who Have Shown
Signs of Intoxication from Contagion.
There are cases of reformed men who
show signs of int< ixication from the conta
gion of others who are drunkards. The fol
lowing is an example, says tho London Ex
change: A prominent ex-military man who
had drunk moderately onee, while attend
ing a dinner with his old comrades, where
most of them were intoxicated, suddenly be
came hilarious, made a foolish speech, set
tled back in his chair in a drunken state, and
was finally taken home quite stupid. He
had not drank any spirits and had only used
coffee and water, and yet he had all the
symptoms of the others, only his was intoxi
cation from contagion; the favoring soil had
been prepared long ago in the army.
Another case was that of a man who had
been an inebriate years ago, but had re
formed. He was recently elected to office,
and gave a dinner to some friends. Among
them was a physician who has beon greatly
interested in these studies. He sent me a
long report, the substance of which was
this; On the occasion referred to many of
the company lieoamo partially intoxicated,
and the host, who drank nothing but water,
became hilarious, and finally stupid, with
them. He was put to lasl with every sign
of intoxication, but recovered, and next
morning had only a confused notion of these
events.
Tho third case occurred four years ago.
A reformed man, of twelve years’ sobriety,
went on a military excursion with a drink
ing company, and, although ho drank noth
ing but lemonade, became as much intoxi
cated ns the others. This event was the sub
ject of much comment and loss to him, so
cially and otherwise, although he protested,
and others confirmed his statements, that lie
did not take any spirits at this time. In
these cases two conditions were present —one
in which some special unknown nerve state
was inherited, which readily reflected alco
holic states from contagion; the other, in
which this particular alcoholic state hail
been ac ]uired, and moro rc idily responded
to contagious surroundings than otherwise.
Thus actors who essay to represent insan
ity or inebriety are successful in proportion
as they inherit a nervous organization pre
dis|>osmg them to these affections. A single
glass of spirits may awaken a latent nerve
defeat and soon after merge into inebriety.
Ho the effort to imitate the manner and con
duct of an intoxicated person may give im
press and direction to an organism that will
be permanent. An actor, greatly praised
for his skill as ‘•Hamlet,’’ was obliged to
leave the stage for the reason that this char
acter was becoming so intimately his as to
suggest insanity at an early day. A man
who acted the part of a drunkcN man was,
after a. time, so completely intoxicated as to
bo unfit for his part. Ho could not use
spirits and had to give up his part in the
play for the same reason as mentioned
above.
A remarkable incident of this kind came
to my notice. A temperance writer of great
pocr and vividness of detail said that he
lived all the details of the hero he was de
scribing in his own mind. When the char
actor \Mis intoxicated he had all the symp
toms and had to go to he i after writing that
the hero did so. He suffered, was exhaust
ed, luwl pain, mental agony, was joywis,
happy, contented, and lived over every
event which he described. This man was
strictly temperate, but had a drunken
fajher, from whom lip inherited a peculiar
nervous organization that gave him power
to realize ‘the toxic state from alcohol
and throw himself into it most per
fectly. He says that it would impair his
health to write more on this theme, for he
would lie intoxicated most of the time while
writing.
Many of these stabs may be termed emo
tional trams'states, and in some future time
will tie the subject of some curious and won
derful psychological discoveries. For in
stants', reformed men, or those who have re
cently stopped tho use of spirits, cannot
safely listen to a recital of the sufferings and
struggles of others to become temperate
without taking on some form of mental
shock that is fatal totlioir own resolutions.
The more vividly ami accurately the strug
glesof a drunkard are described the more
certainly the will of the hearer is weakened
and rendered impotent h* help itself. Tern
lH-raiice lecturers who hoist by painting the
horrors of drink so vividlv to deter any one
in tin' audience from falling in that way are
deceived, and produce the very effect they
seek to remedy.
Thkrk was a feud between the 4 year old
young ladjyttiil her aunt, which came at last to
declared In Utilities. But the little lady knelt
down at niijlit r.nit said her prayers: “Bless papa
and bless mamma, and" there came an omi
nous pans' "bless auntie; but if you can't bless
her it doesn't matter.’’— Judge.

W McCoy, General Passenger Agent of

The Massachusetts Railroad Commission
has now before it the unusual question of
compiling a railway company to operate
its road which it had abandoned on account
of unprofitableness. Citizens and summer
residents of Nantasket have complained
against the Nantasket Beach Railroad Com
pany on account of the inconvenience and
loss which they have suffered by the recent
discontinuance of trains on that rood. On
the other hand the company represent that
the road is unprofitable, is out of repair and
cannot tie put in order without a large ex
penditure, and that negotiations are in
progress for its sale to the Old Colony Kail
read Company, and they state that if they
are ordered to operate it they will seek an
injunction from the Supremo Court. The
hoard has the matter under consideration
and evidently finds it a difficult problem,
with two sides for consideration.
WOMEN AND COCKROACHES.
Said by a Scientist to Act in Much the
Same Manner.
George Hay in Science.
Bring before the notice of your readers
the following curious instance of the ojiera
tion of instinct in the cockroach (Blatta).
During the hot months of tho year my
laboratory is to some extent infested by
these active insects, and I have been for
several years observing their habits. At
the distance of two feet above one of the
benches, and iixed to the wall, is a double
gas bracket, the outer arm of which is 17
inches long from the joint to the burner.
On more than a dozen occasions I have ob
served that a fullgruwn cockroach would
climb ttp tile gas pijie and along t he bracket
toward the burner, hut, finding the bracket
a few inches from the flame too hot to
traverse, would crawl back a few inches,
wait a second or two, anil then return
toward the flame. If uninterfered with, he
would, after a few trials, leave the bracket
altogether and return down tho pipe and
run off at full speed.
But I wished to see how lie would act un
der peculiar circumstances. I therefore
heated the bracket by the flame of a Bun
son lamp at a point fourteen inches from
the tip and three inches from tho joint, and
waited. The bisect, as usual, tried to leave
the bracket by walking back toward tho
wall, but finding his retreat cut off by the
heated metal became very much excited, anil
commenced running rapidly between the
distal end of the bracket and the parts which
1 had heated. After doing this several times,
he selected the coolest part of the bracket,
midway between the illuminating flame and
the part heated by the Bunson, crouched for
a spring, and leaped on to the bench. He
was running off rapidly when I swept him
from the bench and crushed him on tne floor
with my hoot. Tho insect deserved to
escape, but I killed him 1 iecause I wanted to
observe the action of a fresh cockroach
every time under the same circumstances.
On more than a dozen occasions has the
same performance been gone through. By
many people such action would bo accounted
for by the mere word “instinct,” but it
seems to me singularly like the operation of
reason. This is exactly what takes place
when a fire occurs in a high building. Tho
inmates (particularly women) jump wildly
from the upper windows without waiting to
see whether nil other means of escape are
exhausted—and get smashed on tlm pave
ment. Our friend “the unspeakable Turk”
says that women have no souls, and yet,
although much higher in organization t han
the cock-roach, they act, in similar circum
stances, precisely in the same way.
Fatal Result of Gorman Music.
A Philadelphia dispatch to tho New York
Herald says: “Committed suicide while un
der the influence of a German band.”
That is about the verdict that the Coro
ner's jury will find in the case of Christian
Lindworin, 40 years old, a boarder at No.
434 West Cumberland street, who was found
dead upon the pavement in front of the
house referred to at about 4 o'clock this
morning.
Tho police and the residents of the neigh
borhood are of the opinion that Lindworin
committed suicide by jumping from his bed
room, a third-story front, while haunted by
a (lermaii hand.
The unfortunate man, it is said, originally
blew blasts upon the trombone in a wander
ing baud of German music torturers, but
doubtless out of remorse for the many pangs
11111101111 upon suffering humanity, find for
some time [inst shunned tho musical crowd
and fled from the approach of his companions
in crime.
Ijiti'r Chris began to act strangely, and
spouted tortured with the idea that ho was
pursued by a hand of nmsie, and that tho
musicians insisted upon surrounding him and
blowing shrill and discordant notes from
their instruments into liis ears. To stop this
ghostly dill Chris was in the habit of stuff
ingcotton iutohisear; but alas! the imagi
nary German bandits were apparently equal
to the task of piercing any quantity of cot -
ton, and thus poor Lindworm's despair in
creased.
Then ho took to tallow candles, and finally
to lieeswax, but the German music laughed
nt all such barriers and the serenade contin
ued.
Thelmnd which still pursued him was a
kind of ago as-you please liand. Kaeli pet
former tried liis Im-st to “get there” regard
less of style or manner. Thus tho French
horn would bulldoze “Ermiuie,” the flute
piped the “Waeht mil Rhein,” the trombone
raised a gale with “Pinafore,” the cornet
wrestled unsuccessfully with “I.z Mar
seillaise,” and the piccolo made a terrible
mess of “Sweet Violets.”
Such a combination of outrages wns more
than Lindworm. though well seasoned and
apparently music proof, omlj stand. So he
jumped out of his window and died, a sad
warning to musicians in general and Ger
man bands in particular.

VITRIOL IN THE CARGO.
j It Causes a Fire on a Schooner—a
Panic-Stricken Crew.
The eighty-one ton schooner Minnie Ir
win, Captain Thompson, lying at anchor off
Bellocs Island, N. Y., says the Herald of
July IS, came very near going skyward at
10 o’clock yesterday morning and carrying
her crew with her. The vessel, loaded with
I'jO kegs of gunpowder and a lot of hay in
hales, was about to leave pen t for Tampa,
Fla. A carboy containing oil of vitriol on
the deck suddenlv hurst and ran down upon
the hay below. The liay at once blazed up
and the crew, panic-stricken, rushed for the
yawl Isiat swinging at the stern.
The men tumbled pell moll into tho boat,
which was cut loose, hut swamped before
she was ten feet away from the Minnie Ir
win. The crew of the German hark Robert
picked up the frightened and half-drowned
sailors.
| {Meantime Captain Thompson, finding him
self deserted save by two of his crew, set to
work and succeeded in putting out the fire.
The men were afterward put back on the
schooner by the revenue cutter Washington.
