standing the inclemency of the
weather last night, the skating rink
was liberally patronized by many
of our best citizens, and the fun

Then she vested a few minutes,
and taking a pencil and paper in

Mrs. Onl said that the “spell,” as
she called it, though calling for

was called up in open court, when | 0 ,.„
it w», decided that Judge McKay
should be given in charge of the

to enable him to consult with coun

L iter in the day Judge McKay
withdrew bis petition, thus ending
the proceedings begun in the Unit

that perhaps the state courts would

Messrs. Orr and Howell Cobh long
survived this office. Henry Clay
seemed to refresh her. She lived
at l’lainfield with her mo her fwbo
was in the room at the time) and
her husband, who was in the em
ploy ol Pierre Lorillard. She be
gar. to have spelUaticut three years
ago, and had gradually got so that
she could command them at will.
Sue had written in Hebrew, and on
one occasion she put down a lot of
telegraphic characters which the
village operator read at a glance,
and which proved to be some long
desired information about a miss
ing will. Though sue had never
read Shakespeare's “Julius Osar,"
she once accurately recited nearly
the whole of it to her mother. Both
she and her husband were sensitive
about the matter, and would only
exhibit the strange powers to a
few acquaintances. A Portuguese
lady, who was among them, would
not believe, so Mrs. Ohl said, that
she bad not required the Portu
gese accent in Portugal. She re
ceived like encomiums from gentle
men familiar with the languages
for her French, Italian, Spani
Hebrew, Greek and Arabic ac?e
but the truth is, that old Simon,
the father of Don, was at the bot
tom ol the mailer, using bis influ
ence for Butler.
When the contest became promi
nent old Simon bun ied to Wash
ington and interviewed his son in
this matter; “Don, I want you to
see that justice is done Senator
Butler. Thirty years ago bis un
cle, Jedge Butler, then a United
States Senator from South Caroli
na, was one of the most influential
men in his partly and was Chair
man of the Committee on Contest
ed Seats. My right to a seal was
contested, and, though the Senate
was strongly Democratic. Judge
Butler stood up against his party
associates and secured me a just
decision, and I got the seat That
was 30 years ago, but I don’t want
a Cameron to permit an injustice
to be done to Senator Butler’s
nephew, whose seat is now contest
ed. If Butler is not fairly elected
a Senator of course I ask nothing
for him; but it be is entitled to the
place do not let any party feeling
keep you from helping give it to
to him.”
Don voted amt worked for But
ler; and although the Senate was
Republican he was given the seat
and the second generation of Sen
ators arc as warm friends as were
the father and uncle. When Cam
eron’s health was very bad Butler
paired with him and asserted his
determination to do so and contin
ue the pair as long as Cameron de
sired, even though the Senate was
a tie, and Butler, by taking advan
tage of his friend’s illness, could
have thrown the Senate into the
hands of his own party.
This story was told in Harris
burg, but tbe partisans who tried
to use it to the prejudice of Don
Cameron sign illy failed.
An English gentleman being at
a brilliant assembly of the elite of
Vienna recently, was much annoy
ed at tbe conduct ot a distinguish
ed lady of that city, who amused
herself and a small circle of friends
by saying smart, but generally un-
courlcous, things to bim and oth
ers. “By tbe way,” added she,
“bow is it that youi countrywomen
speak French so very imperfectly ?
We Austrians use it with the same
freedom as il it were our own na
tive tongue.” “Madame,” reterted
he, but with the blandest manner
possible, “I know not, unless it is
ilia', tbe French army have not
been twice to our capital to teach
it, as they have at yours.”
Mrs. Ohl said, in response to a
question, that it made no difference
to her whether she sang soprano,
baritone or tenor. The only pecu
liar sensations connected with the
whole affair were around her throat
and chest. Her mind was clear all
tbe time, she said, and she saw all
the people about her, but her at-
William H. Brown, ranger keep

then sold and fed for two months,
and when killed was found to have

of what is known as “bullet spray,”
thin pieces of lead which fly in ail
