CHARLOTTE COItDAY.
From Carlylu's French Revelation.
Amid this dire ferment history speci
ally notices one thing: In the lobby of
the Mansion do l'Intendance, where
buy Deputies are coming and going, a
young lady, witk an aged valet, is tak
ing graceful leave of Deputy Barbaroux.
She is of stately Norman figure, in her
twenty-fifth year, a beautiful counte
nance. Her name is Charlotte Corday.
Barbaroux has given her a note to
Deputy Duperret him who once drew
his sword in tho ciTcrvesccnce. Appa
rently she went to Paris on some errand ?
44 She was a Republican before the Rev
olution and never wanted energy." A
completeness, a decision, is in this fair
female figure. By energy she means
41 the spirit that will prompt one to sac
rifice himself for his country."
What if she.Jthis fair young Charlotte,
had emerged from her secluded stillness,
suddenly, like a star; cruel-lovely, with
half angelic, half-demoniac splendor;
to gleamfor a moment and in a moment
be extinguished; to Denela in memory,
so bright, complete, was she, though
ldng centuries? Quitting Cimmerian
coalitions" without, and dim-simmering
25,000,000 within, history will look fix
edly at this one fair apparition of a
Charlotte Corday; will note whither
- Charlotte moves; how the little life
burns forth so radiant, then vanishes
swallowed by the night.
With Barbaroux's noto of introduc
tion and a slight stock of luggage we
see Charlotte on Tuesday, the 9th -of
July, scaled in the Caen diligence with
a place for Paris. None takes farewell
of her or wishes her good journey.
Her father will find a line left signify
ing thathe has gone to England; that
no must paruon neranctxorgether. The
drowsy diligence lumbers along, amid
drowsy talk of politics and praise of the
mountain, in which she. mingles not, all
night, all day, and again, all night. On
Thursday, not long before noon, we are
at the bridge of Neuilly. Here is Paris,
7 with her thousand black domes and goal
and purpose of thy journey. Arrived at
f the Inn de la Providence, in the Rue des
Vieux Augustins, Charlotte demands a
room, hastens to bed, sleeps all after
noon ana night till the morrow morn
ing. On the morrow morning she delivers
her note to Duperret. It relates to cer
tain family papers which are in the
Minister of the Interior's hand, which a
nun of Caen, an old convent friend of
Charlotte's, has need of, which Duperret
shall assist her in getting. This then
was Charlotte's errand to Paris? She
has finished this in the course of Friday,
yet says nothing of returning. She has
seen and silently investigated several
things. The Convention in bodily real
ity she has seenr what thirjnniinfjMn ia
like. The living physiognomy o"f Marat
she could not see; he is sick at present
and confined at home.
About 8 on the Saturday morning she
purchases & large sheath-knife in the
Palais Royal; then straightway in the
Place des Victoires takes a hackney
coach; "To the Rue de l'Ecole de
Medecine, No. 44." It is the residence
of the Citoyen Marat!
The Citoyen Marat is ill, and can not
beseen, which seems to disappoint her
much. Her business is "with Marat
then? Hapless, beautifal Charlotte;
hapless squalid Marat! From Caen, in
the utmost West, from Neuchatel, in
the utmost East, they two are drawing
nigh each other; they two have, very
strangely, business together. Charlotte,
$ returning to her inn, dispatches a short
note to Marat, signifying that she is
from Caen, the seat of the rebellion ;
that she desires earnestly to see him,
and will put it in his power to do France
a great service. No answer. Charlotte
writes another note, s:itl more pressing,
seta out with it by coach about 7 in the
evenicg herself.
It is yellow July evening, we say, the
13th of the month; even "of the Bastille
day, when M . Marat four years ago in
the crowd of the Pont Neuef shrewdly
required of that Besenval Hussar party
which had such friendly dispositions,
to dismount and give np their arms
then V and became notable among pa
triotic men. Four years. What a road
he has traveled, and sits now, about;
half past 7 of the clock, stewing ia flip
par bath ; sore 'afflicted ; ill' of revolu
tion fever of what other malady this
history had rather not name. Exces
sively sick and worn, poor man, with
precisely eleven pence half penny of
ready money in paper, witk slipper
bath, strong three-fooled stool for writ
ing on the while, and a squalid washer
woman, one may call her that is his
civic establishment in Medical School
Street; thither and not elsewhere has
his road led him. Not to the reign of
brotherhood and perfect felicity; yet
surely on the way toward that? Hark,
a rap again. A musical woman's voice
refuting to be rejected ; it is the Cito
yewne who would do France a service.
Marat, recognizing from within, cries,
" Admit her." Charlotte Corday is ad
mitted. " Citoyen Marat, I am from Caen, the
seat of the revolution, nncLwbh to 'speak
with you."
44 Be seated, mon enfant. Now what
are the traitors doing at Caen? What
Deputies are at Caen ?" Charlotte names
some Deputies.
44 Their heads shall fall within a fort
night," croaks the People's Friend,
clutching his tablets to write. Barba
roux, Petiou, writes he with bare.shrunk
arm, turning aside in the bath ; Petiou,
and Louvet- and . Charlotte has
drawn her knife from the sheath, plunge3
it, with one sure stroke,into the writer s
heart. " Moi, cher ami ! Help, dear!"
No more could the Death-choked say or
shriek. The helpful washerwoman run
ning in there sees no Friend of the Peo
ple or friend of the washerwoman left;
but his life with a groan gushes out, in
dignant, to the shade sbelow.
And soMar.tt's People's-Friend h end
ed ; the lone Stylites has got whirled
down suddenly from Iih Pillar
whitherward, He that made him knows.
As for Charlotte Corday, her work is
accomplished: the recompense of it is
near and sure. The chere ami and
neighbors of the house, flying at her,
she overturns some movables,intrenches
herself till the gendarmes arrives ; she
quietly surrenders ; goes quietly to the
Abbaye Prison; she alone quiet, all
Paris sounding in wonder, in rage or
admiration, round her. On Wednes
day morning the thronged P:ilais
de Justice and Revolutionary
Tribunal can see her face, beautiful and
calm. She dates it, fourth day of the
preparation of peace." A strange mur
mur ran through the hall at sight of her ;
you could not say of what character.
Tinvilie has his indictments and tape
papers ; the cutler of the Palais Royal
will testify that ho 89ld her the sheath
knife. "All these details are needless,"
interrupted Charlotte; "it is I that kill
ed Marat." "By whoso instigation?"
"By no one's." " What tempted you
then?" " His crimes. I killed one
man," added she, raising her voice ex
tremely as they went on with their
questions, " I killed one man to save an
hundred thousand; a villain, to save in
nocents; a savage wild beast, to give
repose to my country. I was a Repub
lican before the revolution; I never
wanted energy." There is, therefore,
nothing to be said. The public gaze
astonished ; the hasty limners sketch
her features. Charlotte not disapprov
ing. The men of law proceed with their
formalities. The doom is death as a
murderess. To her advocate she gives
thanks in gentle praise ; in high-flown,
classical spirit. To the priest they send
her she gives thanks, but needs not any
.shriving, any ghostly or other aid from
him.
On the same evening, therefore.about
half-past 7 o'clock, from the gate of the
Conciergerie, to a city all on tiptoe, the
fatal cart issues ; seated on it a fair
young creature, sheeted in tke red
smock. of the murderess ; so beautiful,
serene, so full of life, journeying to
wards death alone amid the world.
Many take off their hats, saluting rever
ently, for what heart but must be touch
ed? Others gr5wl and howl. Adam
Lux of Menty declare that she is great
er than Brutus ; that it were beautiful
to dio with her; the head of this young
man seemed turned. At tho Place de la
Revolution the countenance of Charlotte
wears the same still sm'de. The execu
tioners proceed to bind her feet, she re
sists, thinking it meant as an insult; on
a word of explanation she submits with
cheerful apology. As the last acts, all
being now ready, they take the necker
chief from her neck. A blush of maid
enly shame overspreads that fair face
and neck. The cheeks were still tinged
with it when the executioner lifted the
severed head to show it to the people.
This was the history of Charlotte
Corday; most definite, most complete
angel-demonee, like a star! Adam Lux
foes home half delirious to pour forth
is apotheosis of her, in paper or print,
to propose that she have a statue with
this inscription: "Greater than Brutus."
nends represent his danger, but Lux
is reckless and thinks it were beautiful
to die with her.

involving very large amounts. In 1845
William Mowry, of Pittsburg, fell in
love with, and married after the Indian
fashion, Mary, the daughter of a chief
named Pero, living near Saginaw. They
lived together as man and wife until
near the time of his death, in 1852, leav
ing a daughter called Elizabeth. The
girl he always recognized as bis
daughter, and he and Mary went to
churches, hotels, etc., together openly,
and were generally recognized both by
whites and reds as husband and wife.
He expressed his rewlve to educate
Elizabeth, and make her equal to the best
lady of the land. In 1851 Mowry left
the Saginaw Valley for Pittsburg to pro
cure means from his mother, one of the
wealthiest and most respectable ladies
of that city, to erect a house, enter into
mercantile business, and remove from
his Indian father-in-law's honse. He
encountered difficulties, however, in
Pittsburg, and died, as stated, in 1852.
Mrs.Mowry died in 1872, possessed of
a large and valuable landed estate near
the Allegheny Cemetery, William's
share of which he had conveyed to his
mother for life. At her death all her
other sons having died childless and un
married, and having left no will the
property, it is claimed, descends to his
only child, Elizabeth, who was named
after his own mother. This daughter
married an Indian named Isaacs, and
was called Mowry until her name was
changed by marriage. A Jew named
Meister purchased a part of the chum
of the Indian girl, ana the case has been
prosecuted partly for her benefit. The
case was tried in the United States Court
at Pittsburg, in 1874. The Court took
the case from the jury by charging that

must be solemnized by a minister or
magistrate, in the presence of two wit
nesses. Upon this question, with others
of lesser importance, the case was taken
to the Supreme Court of the United
States. Here it was held that in ac
cordance with the decision of the Su
preme Court of Michigan a marriage in
that State, even if all formal ceremony
was omitted, would be valid, in accord
ance with the common law doctrine, and
tho case was sent back for a new trial.

of a century the heads of these twopow
erful families have been at war. On
several occasons the "Code" has been
consulted, and only the intervention of
mutual friends prevented their misun
derstanding from being settled by it
years ago. Each thinks the other has
done him deep wrong. Each cherishes
in his bosom eternal natred toward the
other, and there is no abating it. Both
of these gentlemen have nice, intelli
gent families. One has a son, the other
a daughter. They were reared, though,
in the same neighborhood, entirely
strangers. Both had been off at school
for several years. Both returned home
in the early part of the summer of 1876,
full blown graduates. They met sever
al weeks afterward at a neighborhood
picnic, and looked upon each other for
tne hrst time. I he voung man beheld
the wonderful beauty of the fair one
with a feeling we know not how to de
scribe. He sought her acquaintance,
which was granted, and the youthful
and blushing, though handsome pair,
strolled off alone, and seated themselves
upon the velvety sod beneath the spread
ing trees. Their superior education fit
ted them for the society of none but
themselves. In flaming words, full of
eloquent meaning, the young man
pledged his love, and asked hers in re
turn. She gave him in return all he
asked.
During this time the fathers of the
lovers were looking on, neither know
ing with whom his child was associat
ing, but both had expressed themselves
complimentary to the fine looking
couple." On inquiry, the situation
was explained to them. They both be
came frantic with rage, and left the
picnic thoroughly disgusted with the
idea of their children associating with
such slock. The severe criticism that
each one of the new lovers received
from their parents that night may well
be imagined. It was such at least to
cast a pall of darkness over the bright
path of life which they had so beauti
fully pictmed a few hours before.
The old folks gave themselves no fur
ther trouble about the matter, thinking,
of course, that their children would
never be guilty of keeping such com
pany again. But the young folks did
not think so. They arranged another
meeting and resolved to marry. They
Knew u tneir parents found it out they
would be disinherited, so they resolved
to keep it a secret if possible.
It was on a beautiful moonlight night
in October, 187G, that the determined
lovers stole ont from the grand old
mansion of the young bride's father,
Bro. Gardaer's Lime-kila Clab.
" Gem'len, de sezun of de circus am

There was a pretty solid chunk of si
lence after the President sat down, but
Sir Isaac Walpole finally got up and
said:
" Waal, now, I believe I kin remem

feeling still lingers to a certain extent
especially it would seem along the line
of the Kansas Pacific, and out on the
plains where the horse is quite as valua

accounts for the determination that the
good people of Arroya came to to have
the thieves. It is quite probable that if
they had not been so wise in their fore
sight, as they were in stealing horses that
they might at least be living, if not in
possession of their liberty.
Of course they soon rode these horses
down, going as they were at break-neck
speed. When they reached Carson they
found themselves in great need of fresh
stock. They found preparations going
forward at thii place for the spring
round-up, and necessarily a great m iny
horses collected together. They col
lected two of the best looking animals
belonging to Messrs. Pugsley & Church,
Eut their bridles on them, turning the
orses which thej had been riding loorc,
and again were off with the wind. On
Saturday they were interrupted by
Arnold's crowd and tired into,
but ineffectually as it af
terward proved. They turned their
course. Then came the splendid chaso
of twelve miles across the prairie with
the two thieves fleeing like foxes and
tho cow-boys following like hounds in
the heated chase. The thieves had been
pursued by parties both from Arroya
and from Kit Carson, and on Sunday
morning they camo together. A brief
parley was hold, and it was universally
resolved that the aadaciotH scoundrels
should bo pursued to death or capture.
Advantage was taken of tho lack of
water on tho plains. It was known that
the thieves and their horses had been
without water two days, and it wa? in
ferred that they naturally would take
tho first opportunity they could to find
something to slake their thirst. They
had already crossed the State line and
were in Kansas, and it was believed had
sought a hiding-place on a little stream
called the Eagle Tail.
The pursuers started out on Sunday
morning a week ago to-day, bent upon
securing their prey. They discovered
that their men had gone further than
they expected, and it was a long while
before they found any trace. It was a
dreadfully disagreeable day, as it will
be remembered it was in Denver. The
wind blew furiously at times, almost
sweeping tho pursuing part' from the
face of the plains ; the iky was covered
with heavy clouds; the rain began to
fall about 4 o'clock in the afternoon.
Truly it was a bad day for man hunting.
Less determined spirits and men who
had less of a grievance to satisfy than
these had, would havo ceased their pur
suit and gone iu search of more friendly
quarters. But such a course as this was
not in this case to be thought of.
Late in the afternoon the hidtng-place
of the refugees was discovered. They
had found water on the Eagle Tail, had
let their horses go and had sought pro
tection under a bit of sheltering earth,
hoping that it would prove a hiding
place from their pursuers as well as pro
tection from the rain. Not so.
Seven men dashed upon them sudden
ly and ferociously, told them not to
move at the peril of instant death, and,
dismounting, gripped them in a dozen
hands with the strength and with twice
the ferocity of a3 many vise3.

some one whom she is anxious to marry,
and desires to removo from the records
a marriage which she claims is null and
void. As far as the records of the Bu

wife of John William Adrian Vletter,
and no mention is made of the part
played by Pauer. The Rev. F. J.
Schneider, who performed the ceremo

argued that people of ordinary social
standing have as much right to bo mar

some two miles away where they met a
friend and a Justice of the Peace who
had procured the license, and they were
surely and solemnly joined in the holy
