"Where is Robert Emmet buried?
A discussion bearing on this question,
so interesting to Irishmen, has been in
progress in the Dublin papers for some
time past.
The romance surrounding the trial
and execution of this young Irish pa
triot ninety-one years ago is one of
the dearest to the Irish heart. The
eloquence of his reply to his judges
when the death sentence was about to
be passed on him is of the haunting
kind. The passage in that address
which gives it its absolutely unique
character is his request that until his
country takes its place among the na
tions of the earth his tomb shall remain
uninscribed.
"Then, and not till then, let my epi
taph be written."

November 23 last I bought a box and began
taking themVand I have taken them ever
since, except for a short interval. The
first box did not seem to benefit me, but I
persevered, encouraged by the requests of
my relatives. After beginning on the sec

right ear ceased entirely. I kept right on
and the distress that I used to feel in my

blood has returned to my face, Hps and

and I feel well and strong again.

The proposed international postage
stamp which Germany is about to offer
ought to fill a long felt want. Its
function is obvious. It will carry a
letter to any country that participates
in it, so to speak. It will bear the
name of all these countries and its
value in the currency of each particu

face. Undoubtedly such a blanket
postage stamp would obviate a great
deal of annoyance in posting foreign
letters. Whether it cements the coun
tries using it or not, let us hope that
it will carry sufficient cement on its
back to make its adhesion reasonably

that the successful cramming of pie

deem it improbable that the body was

weighty circumstance that the family

It may be doubted if a bath-tub iu
Jamaica is a luxury. The bath-houses
make a brave show in a row of low
brick buildings in the rear of the hotels,
each little house with a big stone tank
for a bath-tub. A New York Sun cor
respondent says of them:
I went out to see the baths on my
first day in Kingston, and was sur
prised to see a sign nailed against the
wall bearing these words:
"Gentlemen are requested not to use
soap in the baths."
"Why are gentlemen requested not to
use soap in the baths?" I asked the
hotel clerk, a dignified young woman
of dark complexion.
"Because it soils the water and makes
it unpleasant for the next bather," she
said.
"But do your guests all bathe in the
same water?" I asked.
"Oh, yes," she replied. "You see the
tanks are so large and the pipes are
small. It takes all night to fill the
tanks, and the water has to last all
day."

And Molasses Stick to L's.
"The word sugar,-' said Mr. Uiilleby,
"is often usetl in the plural. For exam
ple, we see on a sign, 'Sugars and mo
lasses;' but we never use molasses in
that form, though there are various
kinds and grades of it as there are of
sugar. I suspect that our use of the
plural is dictated to a considerable ex
tent by a desire to make the best possi
ble showing of every tiling. Thus 'teas,
coffees, sugars,' no doubt conveys in a
general way an idea of a larger and
more varied stock than tea, coffee and
sugar would da Hut this effect would
scarcely be produced by the plural af
molasses. Whether it were right or

In the character of Napoleon there
was little room for the gentler passion,
but Professor Sloane's Life of the Em

one element of love there was in his

been very deep is shown by the fact
that Napoleon himself laughed at it
five years later. In his "Dialogue on
Love" he says, "I, too, was once in
love," and proceeds, after a few lines,
to decry the sentiment as "harmful to
mankind a something from which God
would do well to emancipate it."

Stewart was evidently in no hurry, for
ten minutes passed, and still no sign of
his coming. I was anxious to get back
to business, and began to feel annoy
ed. I had been walking the feeling off,
but at last, out of patience, I proceeded
to open the door. It was fast. For a
moment I suspected a trap, but it Avas
for a moment only. Mrs. Stewart. 1
reflected, was a thorough lady. Besides
had she been dishonest, the amount at
stake was a mere lagatelle to one who
could afford to live in such a house.
She had probably exceeded the limits
of her commission, not an unusual
thing with ladies shopping, as I know
to my 110, to their husbaud's cost,
and she and Mr. Stewart would be hav
ing a little matrimonial "tiff" over the
bill. For a few brief moments I coni-
nlnecntlv. bv a natural divergence of
the train of thought, pictured Ella's fu- j u delusions

slightest possibility of any difference
ever arising. I learned better after
wardsbut that is digressing.
In the midst of this day-drem. I re
member. I mechanically surveyed the
apartment. The windows struck me
as being an unusual height from the
floor. There were no chairs, except
one a library chair near the massive
table, but luxurious seats extended
along three sides of the room. 1
threw myself into the chair and tried
to push it back from the table. Botli
alike refused to stir; they were screwed
fast to the floor.
1 now awoke from my dream to the
conviction that I4fras a well, not ex-
ucfiy a,Solomon, :dthatl had been
trapped. I rained blows upon the door
with hands and feet, too. and, after a
Jiort delay, the aforesaid butler appear
ed, accompanied by two men, presum
ably fellow-servants.
"Why am I kept waiting here?" I de
manded. "Don't get excited, my dear sir "
"Tell Mr. Stewart I can't wait any
longer, and that I must have the
money."
"All in good time, my dear sir: all

What was I to do? The man was
smiling, unctuous, imperturbable, deaf
to my arguments, unmoved by my pro
testations. I raged and stor ncd. called
them all swindlers, and threatened to
have thein indicted. It was all of no
use; I might as well have stormed at
the table and the solitary chair.

and everything would be properly ex

The messenger dispa tched to Wim

ears could detect that the doctor met
him at the door, and that a hurried col
loquy took place in the hall. I put on
my gloves and hat, and was ready to
start as the doctor entered.
"My man has seen Mr. Mason." he
faid. "and he assures him he never
heard of you before knows nothing at
all about you.'
Here was a thunder-clap. I began at

that the gentleman I had taken for a
butler was Aloysius Fitzsimmons. M.

in obscure diseases of the nerves and
brain, and keeper of a private establish
ment "devoted to tho care of the cere
brally atllieted," as he noted from his
own prospectus, which I had afterward
the pleasure of perusing. I confessed,
somewhat injudiciously, that 1 had nev
er so much as heard of him before,
but it only furnished him with fresh
proof of my insanity, lie wound up a
long monologue by telling me that Mrs.
Hall was to call on the morrow to in
quire how I was getting on.
"And who may Mrs. Hall ber" I
asked, scarce knowing what I said,
for everything seamed topsy-turvy now.
"Poor man, poor man. a bad case,"
I heard him say, sotto voce; "he has
even forgotten his own name." Than
aloud, "The lady who accompanied you
h re. your wife "
"My wife!" I shouted.
"Quiet, my dear sir; you forget your
promise."
"Her name is Stewart," I managed
to say. quietly; "and so far from her
being my wife, I am unmarried, and
to-morrow is my wedding day."
"Yes. I know. Your good lady has
told us all about that; but, perhaps,
by to-morrow you will be better and
think nothing more of it."
"Would you mind telling me what
this woman has said about me;"
-Who? Mrs. Hall? Well, .-lie told
me that Mr. Hall that is your name,
you know, for it is so given in the certi
"ticates from two eminent medical men
who examined you that Mr. Hall was
:.n exemplary husband and father and
a ood citizen, but '
"Go on, I can bear anything now."
"But subject to delusions and to
pavoxysms of violence. I believe that,
though you arc a country gentleman,
you sometimes fancy you are in a
large business house, and that peo
ple are seeking to swindle you. Also
that vou are on the ove of marriage.
Ib It not so?"
"But to-morrow is my wedding day."
"Ah, Just what your good lady said.
We will get you round, nver frar."
I looked helplessly at he doctor. My
brain was In a whirl. "Just w hat your
good lady said." How did that odious
schemer learn I was to be married on
with her booty.
' And how were you to be paid, doc
I to:-?" Mr. Spencely asked, as we pre
i pared to go.
' "Mv terms are quarterly in advance,
and "Mrs. Hall paid .'0 down. By
Jove. I did not examine the nott par
ticularly; she was quite a lady, you
know." and here the doctor looked
, foolish enough to qualify for a passive
! position in his own establishment.
; The note proved all right. Mr Spence

On the way home Bob Edwards, in .1
