Philadelphia, January 7.—This afternoon
a policeman forced on entrance to the rear *jf a
frame dwelling, No. 10-25 Locust street, and dis-
cevereii the dend bodies of two old misers—
Joseph Perry, aged 73 years, and Robert Price,
aged 05 years. The men were ccceutric and
had occupied the prcmlseo-for Over thirty year.-*,
although neither have performed any manual
. labor for over eight years. They occupied two
roams on the ground floor, both of which wore
scantily fnrnbhed, while a door lead lug to the
second floor was locked and barged and nailed
to keep intruders from ft fleeting an entrauco
by that means. Both men were known as mi
sers and refused to associate with anyone in tho
gtighborhood. They always kept tho windows
lightly closed and both were never known fj
be absent from the house at the same time. All
sorts of stories were afloat about the neighbor-
borhoed. Some of tho neighbors stated that
they were known to have money deposited in
the Philadelphia Saving fond and othef banking
institutions. This moraingonooftheoccupantsof
the iuHoiuing promises notified qn officer that
neither Perry nor Prico had been seen to leavo
•r enter the dwelling for over a week, and tho
officer forced open the rear window shutter
and entered. In tho back room ho stumbled
over the dead body of Price, which was lying
on the floor, and in the front room the body of
Ferry was fonnd lying on an old lonnge. Both
were terribly emaciated and had every appear
ante of having been starved to death,
Tho coroner's physicians viewed the remains
nnd expressed an opinion that death had re
sulted from that cause.
Perry and his cousin had occupied the honso
for forty years. In early life he was employ
ed in what was then Samuel Comly’s auction
bouse. Subsequently ho became a partner and
afterwards succeeded him in the business,
Ferry retired ten years ago. He was of an eco
nomical disposition and accumulated it is said v
a fortune estimated at from $100,000to $250,000
which is invested in real estate, stocks, bonds
and mortgages.
Prico was a carpenter and occasionally did
add jobs in the neighborhood. Both were very
reticeht in their dispositions and led lives of
recluses. They were suspicious of strangers
nnd seemed to bo in constant fear of beiug
robbed. Both, it is said, were of intemperate
habit?, and it is believed both were under tho
inflnenco of liquor when they laitl
down . in tlio kitchen of 'their
miscrablo nnd. filthy habitation and were
frozen to death. Perry was noticed by police
men on Mondy last in on intoxicated condition
and since then neither have been seen.

lying dead, yesterday, brought to light a largo
amount of hidden treasure. Prey waa the ono
who owned all the riches. He retired from a
firm of auctioneers several years ago, with in
dependent means, and took Price, who was his
cousin. aa company. Ho was close-fisted, and
scarcely allowed himself the decenaries of life.
The house, No. 1025 Locust street, where tho
two old men lived, and where they were found
yesterday lying on the floor dead, is a dilapi
dated two-story frame, and its interior was
Oven more wretched than tho outward ai
ance. Its two old occupants never held any
communication with their neighbors, but tho
neighbors on ono or two occasions manifested
an interest far enough
tho hoard of health „
filth. Both old men appeared on the street clad
as beggars, aud they always looked half-
starved, wretched, drunken aud besotted.
In an undertaker’s establishment tho bodies
ef tho dead misers lay (today, ghastly in death.
Their appearance was revolting and showed a
frightful condition of personal neglect. A
post mortem examination was uiado today and
.an inquest will be held on tomorrow.
This afternoon the coroners, and Messenger
Duval,with three distant relatives of Prey aud
Price, began search of tho filthy old house. Re
moving a filthy coverlet from tho bed dlrctly
a piece of paper was fonnd containing bank
notes Amounting to $137. A small parcel, next

five, ten and twenty dollar
pieces and #170 in bright now gold certificates
were wrapped in n piece of filthy cloth. An
other bed in tbc room was then searched nnd
the first thing found was $300 In fifty doM.tr
gold certificates, wrapped, as tho other, in old
tags snd paper and stuck under the corner qf
a mattress. An old rag tied around a bed post
was found to coataln^MS In bright gold piccos.
In addition to packages containing mom
Messenger Duval made a careful toventory or
evetything found and took ehargo of all tho
valuables
The amount of cash fonnd footed np $2,157
and tho securities discovered are valued at
$70,0C0. There discoveries bring tho total
amount up to $100,000, a lnrgoium having been
found yesterday. The search today was only
in the second story front room, and numerous
apeerflations are made as to probable revelations
which will attend the completion of tho inves
tigation. Tho coroner’s physician said that
from tho condition of the remains tho men
must have been dead at teait four days. Doubt*
lew they fell on the floor in a drunken stupor

Lonsviiaf, Ky., January 8.—Mary Harlan,
. a well known woman of the town, ended a
forty-two days’ fast at tho city hospital this
morning by dying. Five yean ago she was a
well known milliner and did a good business.
About two months ago, sho found henelf recov
ering from a big spree at the workhouse. She
it fated to partake of food aud after fourteen
days of fasting, the workhouse officials sent

that her reason was dethroned. Last night she
beckoned a none to the bedride. In low tones
she told her sad history, and said nobody would
have cause to regret her death, as she had’not
m relative in the world. She stated that she
bad starved henelf to death.

THE WEATHER.
Watertown, N.% January 3.-Thc cold
weather of the past few days
has covered the St. Lawrence river

country east of the Mississippi river, with the
exception of the New EugUnd states, is cov-
•crcd with snow, tho fall of which, however,

explained, was the yesulfc of low temperature

perature than the laud.

more is virtually closed. Today there was not

GOLD COIN IN LOUISl ANA.
It Is Not Current In*u Certain Ont-of-the-
■\Vuy Region of That State.
I find myself this morning iq a novol prodio
ament-amusing, If ono is philosophical enough to
look at tho smuaing sldo of it, but at the samo time
very annoying, nays George Cary Eggleston In tho
New York Commercial Advertiser. We aro brought
to a halt hero by a railroad wreck and are likely to
be detained here for at least a day. 1 huvo my fam
ily with me, and naturally there aro Expenses to
pay. I have in my pocket a number of coins marie
of gold and bearing tho stamp of the United States
government in certification of their weight and
fiueneu. There coin* are American 95, 910 and.JJO
gold piece*, and if I were in England, or Germany,
or Russia, or Iudla, or anywhere else in tho world
except rigid hero in riacqucmiuo, La., I should
find my money readily current at its nominal ami
actual value, because the two aro everywhere.
known to bo identical. Rut here in Plscquemlne,
Lu„ a little town whoso people uro direct descend-
anta of Longfellow''sAcadlans, my American gold 1
is .uncurront money! 1
I firrt encountered this state of tilings hut night
when I offered gold to the porter of tho Pullman
car in paymeut for my berths. Thut worthy polite
ly refuted it on the ground that "that kind o’
money aiut good out here, suh." I remonstrated
with him that American gold waa worth its face
every n here, because the gold in it, merely as gold,
is worth the amount of very nearly the face value
of the piece. He waa deaf to arguments of thut
kind and so expounded the law to him,
and quoted tho provisions making tho gold
coin of the United Btatcs legal tender in payment
of all debts. It was equally useless. The porter
knew nothing about lepd Under lawa or standards
of value or anything of the kind; he only knew,
or thought be knew, that gold coins were bad and
uncurrmt money in thla quarter of the country,
and he would none of them. I managed to scrape
together enough silver, eked out with nickels, to
pay for the births, and decided in my own mind
that the porter must have got hold of a counterfeit
geld coin, and finding it bad must have concluded
that all gold was bad money.
This morning I have learned better. Finding our
selves stopped here, I ordered breakfast from the
buffet, and, after eating, ret out to get some of ray
gold changed into bills or silver at the shops of tho
town. Alas! the shopkeepers of the place, even in
cluding the soloon men, were like-minded with the
porter. One end all were persuaded that gold wan
not good money, and with one mind they refused
to take it. 1 offered to "treat all round ’ at a saloon
if the barkeeper would take a 95 gold piece in pay
ment and give me change, but he declined. I asked
if the genuineness of my gold was doubted, think
ing that might be tire trouble, tut I was assured
that all gold was refused in tbc town, undone man,
merchant, told me he believed there had been
feme govemmeut action ou the subject
which mode gold no longer of any account.”
Finally, one man caine to my rescue,
and gave me silver In return for a five dollar gold
piece, saying that gold might perhai* "go for
semetblng in New Orleans.” He did it very much
as he might have given V> to a human being In
distress, and 1 could see that be hail very little hope
of ever getting anything out of the bright new gold
piece which I bad drawn a few days before from
the London and San Francisco bank, iu full faith
that the gold coins of my country were the best
and surest possible representative* of value any
where lo be found.
I am still without any explanation of the phe
nomenon, but it is a fact worth recording that
American gold coin is not current money in
Placqncmlne, La. I wonder if confederate notes,
ev continental currency, er the bills of the Indiana
wildcat tank* ef 1407 would please then people

THE QUEENS OF EUROPE' v
The Bluer the Blood the Uglier the Qneeu-
Most of the Royal Ladled Very Plain, ;
Qaceu.urcsot.ny better looking after all
than any other women, and aomo of thnaa now
reigning may even bo cloaaod among tho very
plain women. Not even the moat regal of tholr
atnte garments could mako them anything
else. Tbo Idea that patrician blood thowa In
the beauty and grace of tho royal ladles ia a
great mistake, for it is quite the contrary, as
far as I havo seen, and the bluer tho blood the
uglier tho queen. In Vienna at their great ox-
position wore gathered a number of tho then
reigning ladiea of Europe, nnd I had aeveral
vitwe of those who were there.
The firat gllmpao I had at all of royalty waa
of ex-Queen Isabella, of Spain. I was in the
Turkish section when I noticed n coarse, fat
elderly woman, plainly dressed and vulgar in
every movement, come waddling along. She
wus shaking all over like a bowl of jelly, and
looking keenly about her with heady eyes,
whilo behind her walked a yonth hardly- come
to nutnhood’i age. Ho wore a stavepipo hat
and a Prince Albert coat, and appearod to be
a modest follow, with’ lltflo taato for display.
Tho ox-queen wore a black laeo overdress
over black silk. Tho silk wns cut low in tho
ticek and with ahort sleeves, after tho
fiuhion then prevailing in Vienna, nnd the
outer dress waa high in the neck and with
long alcoves. Sho worn a black lace bonnet
with long streamers of ribbon behind, and a
mass of red roses mingled with the laeo, and
sho had soma very beautiful diamonds in her
ears and at the throat. Sho went about cheap
ening everything and looking for some Turkish
ruga to buy, bnt aba seemed to think that the
price was raised on account of her royalty,
and in a loud aside in French aho apoko to hor
r ngson, saying that evidently they Intended
mako her poy too much, and that, ho
most come then tbo next morning, wear
ing a plain anit and a cap, ao that they should
not know hlhi, and get the carpets at a lower
price. 1 saw this same queen nt the opera soon
after In alt the glory of full dross, and sho
made, to my thinking, ono of tho moat revolt
ing sights I ever witnessed.
The empress of Anatrla and Queen 01.
Clreeco are tho two besntllhl women ot
that I saw, and whatever their station in lifo
they would atUl lie called ao. The empress
of Austria seems to betqo active a woman for
the close confinement and rigid dignity that
other qncena think necessary, and she goes
and comes as aha likes, rides and walks shroud
without let or hindrance, and very simply. Ou
state occasions when there la a public parade,
or anything like that, the streets aro cleared
hy soldiers, who tako positions on each aide.
These street* have been previously swept and
sprinkled, nnd no vohlclo or person can travel
them until after tho oaaaage of tho pageant.
Then after hoars of patient waiting In the hot
sun, with cyee half blinded by tho
white reflection of tho house, aud
streets there will be a dash and
flash of glittering uniforms, a clash of sabre*
and spurs and trample of prancing steeds snd
a magnificent open barouche comes into view
with a tableau of a soldierly-looking nun In
his uniform, with jewels and decorations
ahlaxlng all over his breast, and by his sldo a
Villon of beauty dressed in tho national colors.
Ono day in the exposition the empras walked
about, wlthont ceremony or flias with a few of
her ladles. Sho waa drtaaed in lilac mUalin,
trimmed with lace, and certainly looked
not an hour over 25. Her tall fbrm wu
aa lithe and graccftil u a girl’s, and her match.
ild mako tin
expression of
her face wu simply enchanting. After
walking about until aho wits tired aho took
her seat in ono of thoso rolling chairs nnd
tho driver rolled directly over my foot. I
could not repress a alight expression of pain,
which the emprsa. heard, and sho made u
many apeloglca u I should have thought nec
essary hud I squeezed her royal toes. Thon
several minutes tn a perfectly nil-
reserved manner with me, and said soma day
■ho might visit America, aa she always longed
for a rldo on the prairies. I saw her at the
opera afterwards, in ftall dress, with diamonds
and pcarla, and her exqnlaite neck and arms
bare, and ahe wu positively dazzling.
- Queen Olga la of another type, bnt equally
handsome. She lestoutar and shorter,‘but hor
figure * ia graceful and ndl formed, and her
hands and feet are true Uneaten, being almost
•a small u a ton-year-old child's Her
oyes aro largo and dark, with long, hoavy
lushes. Her hair la superb and hsr features
mobllo and heautiftal, and her laugh very
charming. She la a brunette, with n lovely
rich color which cornea and goes with her
emotions. Whilo in Vienna Queen Oli
waa greatly admired wherever si
went, nnd aho wont evorywhero, being
perfectly simple aud unaflcctcj. Sho Is a fine
horsewoman as well u tlio empress of Austria,
hut she did not rldo In Vienna. Noarly every
day she visited tho exposition, and al way*
dre ssed In her national colors, hluo and white.

soma bit of iuco work, which
afterwnrd takes pleasure In glv-
vayaa littlo souvenirs. The people of
Athens adore her for her largo sympathies and
gentle charities, and they lovo her for her
goodners and womanlilesa no leas than for her
rich beauty and tbo fact that she la their
queen.
I law the Queen Natnllc, of Roumanla. once
during the exposition, lint rather disliked her
though sho tea very handaomo woman, yet not
[ratify. Sho looked Intellectual, bnt hul
selfish, hard face, ono governed hy the
baser qualities of mind, and ber opon adora
tion for a ronnt or baron or aomo other,
nobleman was highly Indecorous, to say tho
least, considering that aha waa away from homo
and thus the target for all oyoa and tlio mark
for all vlciotta tongue*. Tho poor Empress
Eugenie I saw afterward at Chlaalhnrst. Hor
beauty had much faded, bnt It had taken on a
womanly softness bom of suffering, and to mo,
nt least, it would have been farmore attractive
than any youthful charm ahe bail thon lost.
Her hair wus still abundant, her eyes and lips
■till lovely, and that nameless graeo and
incomparable attraction waa atlll hers.
The heaoty of Intelligence like hern
never fades. 1 bad but a brief rjimpso of the
queen of Italy, though aho was not qnacn
then. I have n dim remembrance of n vary
pretty and glrliah thee, n head turned laughing
as she spoke with aomo ono in the carriage anil
that waa all.

wu about fourteen years old, tall and aleador,
yet plump enough, with great bine eyes, a
fair, fteckted skin, and thick, long hair. Her
eyes were beautiful with their circle of kohol,
which gave them a languishing expression.

they flatter her grossly. But ahe la not to
blame for her looks, and I am sure I don't want
to raise a war between the two countries by
giving a fair and square description of her per
sonal appearance. She dresses very simply, tn
mourning, aud wears flat sbou that are almost
caricatures. The Princess Alexandra, her
daughter-in-law, 1* u queenly and refined u
one iso imagine, and though lacking in health
and spirits she Is a meet charming woman,
with exquisite grace of manner and true Bue-
sian character and habit*. Sho
is loved and admired by all
who see her or come under the delicate, wo
manly charm of ber native grace. She strives
to please, and la happy when aha does ao. Her
life Is not very enviable, if report speaks truly,
bnt she devotes henelf to her five children,
