BRATED CASE.
A Brooklyn Girl Telia an Interesting
Story—The Poem and the Epiaode
In School—How It All Came About.
From the Brooklyn Eagle.
Tbe “Mary and Her Little Lamb" contro
versy is satisfactorily settled at last. Until
the receipt of a letter at the Eagle office
yesterday morning Mary’s prospects were
somewhat ambiguous, and the lamb was
not to be congratulated oa a flattering out
look. It seemed as though both would have
to go through all the ages in company with
the Man in the Iron Mask, unless, indeed,
the author of the letters of “Junius” con
sented to join the party. It has even been
supposed that Mary was entirely mythical,
and that the lamb was woven out of whole
cloth—of the finest wool variety, of course.
Mrs. Sarah J. Hale, who died in Philadel
phia several years ago, up to the last
moment of her otherwise uneventful life,
stoutly maintained a large right, title and
interest in the lamb, hater Airs. Tyler
made out a formidable case, not in
volving full proprietorship, but es
tablishing momentous collateral con
nection. It has not been made to appear
that the lamb bad aDy competitors. That
fortunate animal has be u gatheied into
an unchallenged fold to friskily wag its tail
in a perpetuity of pleasure. Tne letter
with wbicn tbe Eagle was favored yester
day throws Mrs. Tyier out of court, makes
a gracious concession to Mrs. Hale, throws
the real mantle of poetic achievement over
tee shoulders of one John RolUtoae and
bring* to the front, as the only genuine
her. itie of the celebrated school episode.
Alary Elizatieth Sawyer. It is so circum
stantial in its detai.s that not a 1 ophole is
any were left for the escape of Mrs. Tyler.
That l.dy expired iu Somerville a few
days ago. She passed away iu a halo of
accuminulated glory which, as the com
munication clearly establishes, properly be
longs to Alary Elizabeth Sawyer, John Roll
stone. and Mrs. Hale.
To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle-. I
have seen so many incorrect accounts of
"Mary’s Little Lamb’’ that I am tempt ed to
send the really true version. Mary Eliza
beth Sawyer was i orn in March, 1806, at
Sterling, Wooster county, Massachusetts.
In 1835 she married a gentleman named
Columbus Tyler, and resided in Somerville
until her deat i, where she passed quietly
and peacefully away, her father was a
farmer, and when she was 0 years old she
used to go wit i him to look after the lambs
that were born, and one day her father told
her that three little lambs had been born,
and she went with him to look at them. As
they came near where the lambs were, her
father called heracientlou to one that looked
as though it was dead. It was so very
little and pretty that Mary felt
sorry, and she thought it was a pity
that a lamb should die so soon alter
it was born. She went up to it and
kindly touched and turned its head slightly.
“Mary,” her father said, “that iamb is
dead." “No, papa,” said she, “it is not; for
w hen I move its head it will move it back
again.” “But it cannot live,” said her
father. “O, yes, it may,” said Mary; “let
me take it home and take care of it. So
her father gave his consent and she took it
home. She had seen her mother give the
little children catnip tea to strengthen
them; so she bad some made gave it to
the lamh. All that day she nursed it and
sat up nearly all that night with it. After
awhile she gave it warm milk; it lived and
grew, and the little creature seemed to
realize that it owed its life to Mary,
and so it was true that “everywhere
that Mary went the lamb was sure
to go.” Mary made a sound that
was between a song and a scream, and when
the lamb hoard that note, no matter where
It was, it would run to Mary. She always
made it a point to see her lamb before sre
went to school, but this morning she bad
not seen it; so she had to start for school
without g ing to look for it, as she was
afraid of being late. Bbe gave her signal,
the lamb came running rapidly to her and
joyfully placed its head on her lap. The
children who were with Mary helped tbe
lamb over the sto a wall and it went with
them to school. Mary could not make it
go home, so took it to her seat before the
teacher came in and put her shawl over it.
Mary did not want the teacher to look that
way for fear he would see the lamb, so
she opened her book and commenced
to study her lesson. She never studied
so hard in her life as she
did that morning. But when the
time came for the class to say its lesson,
Mary and the others had to take their
places on the floor and stand on a certain
line; but the moment Mary started the lamb
went forward with her and stood on the
line. This was very a nusing; the scholars
laughed, and not only the scholars, but the
teacher. But after awhile the children
laughed and played so much that tbe
teacher had to put it in the w. octetied. So
this is the way that Mary’s lamb "followed
her to school one day.” In the town where
Mary resided was a young man named
John Rollstone, about 17 years of age, who
was studying at the minister’s house. In
those days the clergymen were tho bestedu
cated men in the couutry and would take
a few young men to educate. John Roll
stone wrote the poem about Mary and her
lamb and gave it to her a fevr days after
this occurrence.
Slary had a little lamb,
His fleece was white as snow;
And everywhere that Mary went
The lamb was sure to go.
He followed her to school one day.
Which was arainst the rule;
It made the children laugh aud play
To see a lamb at school.
But soon tho teacher turned him out,
And still he lingered near.
And waited patiently about
TUI Mary aid appear.
Some time afterward Mary lost these
verses and could not tell what became of
them. One day, many years after the
death of the lamb, to Mary’s astonishment,
she read a poem by Mrs. Sarah J. Hale,
containing the three verses written for her
by John Rollst ne and several more. This
is bow Mrs. Hale printed it:
Mary had a little lamb,
Us fleece was white'as snow;
And e erywhere that Mary went
The lamb was sure to go.
It followed her to school one day,
Which was against the rule;
It made the children laugh and play
To see a lamb at school.
And so the teacher turned it out,
But still it lingered near,
And waited patiently about
Till Mary did appear;
Ana then it ran to her and laid
Its head upon her arm.
As if to say “I'm not afraid,
You'll keep me from all harm.
“What makes the lamb love Mary so?"
The eager cliildreu cr.\
“O, Mary loves the lamb, you know.
The teacher ma le reply;
“And you e ich gentle animal
In confidence may bind,
And make it follow at your will
If you are only kind.
Unless John R oilstone had given copies
to other people Mr*. Hale must have added
"■hat Bhe wrote to Mary’s verses, wnich had
keen lost. It is iu the neig iborhood of
seventy years since ths lamb died. It
hved to be the mother of three little lambs,
then it was gorel to death by a cow when it
*as nearly four years old. After it died
f'ary’s mother knit her two pairs of stock
•ng* from the lamb’s fleece. In Boston
there U a bu lding called the Old South
tfhurcb that has been there I<W years,
“tore than sixty years after the lamb’s
heath its fleece helped to preserve that
hhurcta. In the United States we have very
ew old buildings, and Mary thought it
wild tK, a gbamo to tear it down, so
j"® "egan to think what she could
’to help the cause. When a large fair
u “old she took one pair of the stockings,
gave them to those who had charge to un
wind and sell a half a yard of van, to any
frmnTw “ for 85 Otters came
fromdifferent pirtsof the world asking
° f t , Qe varu - Alarv wrote her
name on a card and the piece of yarn was
fastened to it. Mary kept the oth r pair
of s ockings, and would not part with them
under any consideration. Tne varn that
was sold amounted to $l4O and helped save
the old edifice that Alary was so interested
Mary had a little lamb” has appeared
iu a great many forms, but this is the true
story. I have often heard the story from
my uncie (Mary’s brother), and also re
ceived a letter from her telling rue about it.
1 have a card with the knitted yarn from
the first fleece of “Mary’s Little Lamb.”

STORIES ABOUT STANLEY.
Asa Lecturer Twenty Years ego He
Was Not a Brilliant Success.
St. Louis, Dec. 22. —Henry M. Stanlev,
the great African explorer, was, as has been
frequently stated, connected with the daily
press of St. Louis when a young man.
What that connection was, and how long it
lasted, has been variously and erroneously
stated. Besides Mr. Stanley himself, there
Is, perhaps, no bettor authority ou the
question than Mr. William Fayel of this
city, an old newspaper correspondent who
was Stanley’s companion and associate.
Mr. Fayel, speaking of Stanley to-day,
said: “The first time I met Stanley
was in Jefferson City, in the win
ter of ’66. I was in attendance as a cor
respondent at the legislature and as board
i g at the Tennessee house. On walking
into the office of the hotel one evening I saw
a young man neatly dressed, wearing a soft
felt hat with turned-up brim, seated c ith
his feet upon the stove. He was inquisitive
and also communicative, and in a short
time he had informed me that his name
was Henry M. Stanley; that he was a
traveler, lecturer, and newspaper corre
spondent; that be had recently returned
from an extended journev through Asia
Minor, a id that he had come west to lecture
on Turkey. He told me in detail the sub
stance of his lecture, and in his enthiu;-
asm got up and, taking a large sheet
of brown paper, male a diagram, or
‘syllabus,’ as he called it, of the lecture.
He also showed me some handsomely
printed tickets that he had struck off in
St. Louis on his way up, and which he in
tended placing for sale in the news stands
around towu. The printing of tickets cost
him, he said, sl7, and after paying
for them he had but $3 or |3 left. 1 up
braided him for his extravagance, and
asked him why instead he had not written
out his tickets ou cheap cardboard and
saved bis money. The idea, it seemed, had
never occurred to him, but strucK him so
forcibly as the right thing that without a
word he sprang up, and, getting the paste
board box containing the tickets,
hurled the whole package into
the fire and burned it up. The
following night he delivered his lecture,
but there were, to his great diseourage
ement, only seven persons present, and tnree
of these were deadheads. From Jefferson
City Stanley went to Kansas, and f didn’t
see him till soma two mouths afterward,
when 1 met him in St. Louis one day while
on my way to the Democrat office, to apply
for the position of corresponde it on the
Hancock expedition against tha Indian *. Ha
informed me that he iiad just arrived, ami
had got tha position I was after. He left
immediately to join Gen. Hancock’s army,
then en route from Leavenworth to the
Smoky Hill territory.
“At tbe close of this expedition Mr. Stan
ley located in O miha and became corre
spondent for several eastern papers, fur
nishing them with graphic accounts of tbe
depreda ions then being committed by the
Indians. Here was where I first saw him,
in 1876, whan.as correspondent of the Mis
souri Republican, l accompanied the Indian
peace commission sent out by President
Grant to make treaties and perfect arrange
ments for removing the various tribes of
Indians to the two great reservation*. I
saw a great deal of Stanley during this
time. He was quite a favorite with
the whole party, always on the alert
and quick to see and comprehend points
and features of interest. Though young
and quite boyish looking on accuu it of his
delicate frame and small stature he had a
constitution of iron and possessed an in
domitable will and great persistency. Re
turning to St. Louis with the commission
where it adjourned, he remained in the city
two days to straighten up bis aff iirs with
the Democrat. Not having drawn on his
pay during tne trip he received some SSOO,
and I remember that whe.i he came to sign
the receipt he wrote the name of ‘John
Rowland.’
“ ‘What does this mean?’ asked Mr. Dan
Houser, who waited ou him; ‘I thought
your name was Henry M. Stanley.’ Tne
young man explained that that was only
one of his noms de plume as a c rrespoud
eut, adopted out of respect to a Mr. Henry
M. Stanley of New Orleans, who had
greatly befriended and helped him when a
lone boy in that city. This was in the fall
of 1867, and the last time Stanley was here.
He left, as I said, in a day or two, and
went to New York.”
A WANDERER’S RETURN.
Strange Experiences of a Connecticut
Man Who Disappeared in 1888.
Watkrbury, Conn., Dec. 24.—EvelinM.
Andrews stole into Naugatuck, his former
home, last evening, like a fugitive from
justice. He has grown old siuce his de
parture in December, 1886, and his wealth
has all disappeared in his travels around
the world. Andrews came to Naugatuck
to see his wife’s lawyer, H. C. Baldwin, and
to make amends for his silence to his fam
ily during his three years’ absence. Mr.
Baldwin did not come up from New York,
as was expected, and Andrews left on foot
for Meriden lest old acquaintances should
recognize him on the trains. He tried to
find his wife before going, but she had gone
to reside with her father, Mr. Hill, a
worthy contraictor of Moosuo.
E. M. Andrews came to Naugatuck with
his wife in 1881. The following summer
Mr. Andrews was troubled with malarial
fever, and at times, it is said, showed
symptoms of insanity. He got behiud in
business and became very much dis
couraged. He raised all be coul 1 on his
Naugatuck property, got advances from
his father-in-.aw, A. R. Hill, and went to
Florida. The next heard of him "as the
rumor that he had disappeared mysteriously.
His brother-in-la v, W. K. Young, had gone
down to see him on Jan. 3, and learned that
nothing had been heard of him for p week
or more. A reward of SSOO was offered for
anv news of him, dead or alive, and a
placard containing this announcement,
witu his pictu e and a full description of
him, was scattered all over Florida, where
it was thought he had go as.
Attorney BakUii of Naugatuck was
employed by the distressed wife t > go t >
Florida and make a search for him. He
had been seen at DeLand on Dec. 28, 1885,
and on Jan. 1, 18SG. ho was seen in Wight
man & Christopher’s store, on Bay street,
Jacksonville. That was the last heard of
him, so far as known. His part .era su se
quently attempted to carry on the business
without him, but the year following the
whole establishment burned down, without
i; isurance. The evidence that Andre ws bad
been murdered by some of his help was
thought to be so conclusive by the M isonic
fraternity, to wh.ch Andrews belonged,
that the *2.000 insurance was paid over to
Mrs. Andrews. . , .
Andrews has grown a full beard a foot
long, and is old and worn looking. Hs says
his wanderings since ho left Florida are
veil din mystery. He was deeply involved
financially, and drifted from tow i to town
unconscious of where he had lived. His
marriage and his past life seemed like a
dream to him until very recently, when he
found himself out on the Pacific coast a
homeless wanderer.

Be and Herminle Seen With Her Rel
atives.
Montreal, Dec. 24. —John A. Grurve. a
Montreal detective, has bean on Snoot.'*
track from the start. A few judicious in
quiries and a long and patie it search
throughout the French quarter of Montreal
u iearthed t e fact that late one night last
week a sleigh drove hurriedly up to a hum
ble house on Sanguinet street, aid that a
lad y_sprang hastilv ou' and struck the bell.
\\ hen the astonished inmates opened the
door t o wife at once recognized her old
schoolmate in Quebec, Her mine Thib&ult,
Seated in tbe sleigh was “Un gentelhoiri ne
Amencain,” as tuev naively put it, with
his coat collar turned up and a soft felt hat
pulled down over his eves. After a hurried
greeting Hermiuie asked whether her mar
ried sister, Mrs. Anna Lemoi e, lived on
the street. She was informed she did;
that her number was 713, and, hastily
binding adieu, the sleigh drove with its
two occupants and their baggage to tbe
sister’s house.
During the week it was given out that
Her uinie had arrived on a visit to her
si-ter. It was noticed by the simple French
neighbors that another man beside fc e
joi er, Eugene Le i mine, visited the nouse
and, although at times be would wear a
slouch hat and at others a silk oue, he was
readily recognized as the lover of Herminie.
No sooner did this come to the ears of De
tective Grusve than he at once swore out
warrants, armed with which ne made a de
scent upon the house. But too la e, the
birds hail flown. No one was in the house
but the eldest sister, Mrs. Lemoine, and a
vigorous search of the premises showed that
both the suspected parties had taken the
alarm and fled.
THE REWARD EXCITES INTEREST.
Yesterday the house was again visited,
and a long interview followed with Mr.
and Mrs. Jteraoine, and tbe youngest and
prettiest of the three pretty sisters. Amarine
Thibault. It took but little trouble to elicit
from these unsophisticated Canadians all
that Herminie had permitted them t > know.
Yes, she had been there. She had ar
rived the Saturday previous, and on Satur
day last she left ty the 7:30 train for New
York and was seen off at the depot by her
two sisters. Amarine, a pretty girl of two
a id twenty, was only too ready to talk, and
carefully as her elder sister watched her,
s e could not helo giving herself away.
“La Monsieur,” as they all call Silco’t,
had not been there, bit he had waited for
Herminie and ha 1 taken her out to drive.
Both sisters grew garrulous in speakiug
of his weaitu and generosity, but when the
reporter rose to take his leave the husband
of Anna Thinault beckoned him solemnly
in o tie pass ige and as ;el hi nin Frenon:
“How much has he taken?”
The reporter respo ded promptly: “Five
hundred thousand dollars.”
“Mon Dieu,” said the Frenoh-Canadian,
aghast. “Is there a reward offered for
him?"
The reporter replied that $5,000 in cold
cash were waiting for the man who could
hand him over to the United States authori
ties.
“God, if I had only known that,” and the
sense of neglected opportunities seemed to
overcome him.
Drawing the reporter into a corner, he
requested his card. In two or three days,
he said, his wife would receive a letter from
Herminie, and he would at once send word
to the reporter.
MILK IN THE COCOANUr.
Why an Applicant for Reappointment
Was Fought Bitterly.
Washington, Dec. 24.—1n regard to the
proposed transfer of the revenue marine to
the navy department, the details of which
were given in the e dispatches a few days
ago, the following story is given in expla
nation of the inoveme it: When Senator
Chandler, who is regarded as the prime
mover in the proposed transfer measure,
was secretary of the navy, he ordered an
exploration of some river in the northwest
possessing an outlandish name. One Clark
was at that time chief of tha revenue ma
rine division of the treisury, and hearing
of Mr. Cuandler’s intention he wired in
structions to the captain of a revenue cut
ter then stationed on the Pacific coast to
proceed at once to make the same explora
tion. Just why Clark did this no one ever
knew, but it made Chandler hopping mad.
Home time afterward ;it was proposed to
transfer the revenue cutter service to the
navy department, and in a report on the
subject Clark was very severe in his com
ments. Am mg other things, he said that
the revenue service was a police service, to
protect the guve nment from loss through
the operations of smugglers, and that as the
average naval officer was a smuggler, it
was manifestly improper to place the rev
enue service under the charge of naval offi
cers. This report added fuel, and the in
auguration or a war to abolish tue present
system resulted.
I do not vouch for the truth of this story,
lut the determined opposition to Clark,
who recently applied fir appointment to
his old position in the treasury, and who
was strongly supported by (Senator Sher
man and other distinguished gentlemen,
would seem to lend a plausible air to the
narrative.
FAY RILLED BY COCAINE.
His Habits and Family Troubles
Caused the Suicide.
New York, Dec. 24.—Elton Fay died in
"the cells” at Bellevue hospital to-day
noon. The cocaine he swollowed Saturday
morning in the lodging house at No. 108
Bowery kdled him. From the first he
positively refused to say way he swallowed
the cocaine, but it seemed evide it from
his emaciated appearance aud worn cloth
ing, ami from the many letters found on
his coat,that his habits and troubles
bad caused him to commit suicide.
A few years ago the dead man was the
head of the drug firm of Fay & Horton, in
Janesville, Win., and about eight months
ago, after losiug his business, he obtained
employment as a chemist witn B. D. Bald
win & Cos., in Chic go. Subsequently he
came east aud went to Asbury Bark, N, J.,
where he was a clerk in Seelyoa’s drug store.
When the season closed there he ca ne to
Now York and vainly sought e nploymerit.
He was a clever chemist, but ho used cocaine
us a stimulant, and this made it difficult f nr
him to secure work. As his m >ney ran low
he was compelled to take lodgings in the
Bowery. Then he took the fatal dose Sat
urday. His money was gone, and so were
his friends, and witnesses say he seemed to
welcome greedily the large and >se of twenty
drops that was to end his troubles.
