Ono of thobcst known of PathUns
lias joined the majority. Jnloa Vallos ,
the hoio of the L tin quarter , Is dead
In the prime of Itfo , ami the novra of his
death awnkons memories of the commune
and of the eventful days which preceded
the commune. Ho was born at Pay , on
the llth of Juno , 1883 , Ho was well
educated , nnd intended to become a
lawyer , but the career of a journalist
offering more brilliant promiio ho wont
to Paris and gained n high reputation ns
a contributor" to the nowepipora and as a
pamphleteer , lie wrote for the Figaro ,
the Epoque , and ths Evonomont. His
style was lively ami picturesque. His
literary crltUisms were full of malice ,
nndhii dnmatlo criticisms were full of
gall nnd wormwood. Ho was just the
nun to chronicle the gay dolnga of Paris ,
and being successful t home ho went
abroad. An London correspondent of
the Epoquo ho contributed aomo lively
letters , describing John Dull from various
pointa of view and extracting n good
deal of humor from topics which had
previously bcon thrtahcd out.
It was tu the linen llttlo tntitical
shoot , which ho founded tingle banded
out of his poverty and kept alive by his
own nnaided talent , that Vallcs fired his
rirst cartridges. The journal of that day
breathed powder and revolution , oven
tlioio devoted to pure literature. Pens
were revolvers. That of Vallcs was al
ways loaded to the muzzle , and It never
missed flro. Obliged to evade the Ivwt of
the empire r ; alnat tha press , obliged to
steer botwcoii the stamp ollico and thereof
roof of the official warning , two deadly
dangers In thn track of a courageous jour-
nil , the young man performed prodigies
in Bhunnint ; this Scylla and this Oharyb-
dlg. It wni In the line that ho thowod
his firat talent journalistic talent of the
first quality. 'VHochoforr , " yald u critic ,
"carves up men with his polished blade ;
Yalloa will demolish Idtai by Birmihlny
them with his cudgel. The middle claia
begins revolutions ; the people finish
them. "
Like Ilochfcrt Jnlca Ynllcs had been
employed at the Hotel da Ylilo in the de
partment of poraprs funobres , a fact
utilz-id in n famous cuicaturo by Oilwho
represented him with bibles' coflins for
flhooa. Ho was a tidewalk philosopher.
Ono day ho printed a book. The
tltlo was odd and 'taking "Money ,
by a Man of Lottorj. " The tpno was
harth and bitter against the rich , the
author wai kinder to the rag-picker than
to the banker. It was a modern Diogenes
bent over hla lantsra and snuffing critic
ally the fifth of the Paris streets. His
second book , "Tho Refractory , " wai a
protest against the Imperial wars. It
combatted the ideas of militarism and the
last of conquest ; it'also painted a picture
of the obscnro Itfo of the laborer , which
earned for its author the title of "Poet of
tattora and kennels. " .
Aa to the man liimsslf , as hla friends
know him , hero ii a ekotcli , before 1870 ,
by hit old comrades on the line ; "Ynllcs
.took us In when wo were wandering
through the attests , vainly ecarcbln ? , year
In , year out , for some corner in which to
wiito what wo had thought and Buffered.
Ho throw open to us his entire journal
to ua , nnlmovm and poor ; and if , in splto
of lila indefatigable friendship , wo have
not made n name in this journal , at least
ire have earned our bread. Yallea has
onablodjUa to live during eight months.
Hen do not forgot Borvleoa of that aott. '
Among the wild spirits of the commune
nemo was wilder than Yalloa. With his
sword and with his pen ho was unnsilly
active. Ho narrowly oacipod death at
iho hands of Gen. do Oiasoy , and while
he was Hoeing from justice the French
papers published a sensational account ol
Ilia execution. For two months lie lay
hidden ( in the cellar of a house a1
! N evilly. At lost , watching hii oppor
tunity , ho disguised himself as a pries
and took a train for London , traveling In
the same caniago with a French officer
who waa furiously declaiming ocaias
"coscochons communards. " Vallea
afterwark told the story In the Cri di
Pouplo , adding with characteristic
.humor , It iraa thanks to the pretence oi
'that very oflicor In hla carrhgo that one o
the "cos cochons la" escaped.
In London Vallcs vegatated for some
years. Ho was wretched there and poor.
Having no moans of hia own , ho oxlato :
as best ho could by writing for a com
nminst paper , stsr'cd ' by Llasngaray , am
contributing to the Evonmout. His
sarles of letters , entitled "Li
Iluo a Londroa , " are among hla
cleverest efforts. They have been collected
loctod and put into book form , with illus
tr.itlons. In London Vallea need to dine
nightly nt the Restaurant Audlnst , a r < s
tort of the refugees , near Uathbono place
playfully nicknamed "La Cafe do
I'Amnlstio. " Hero ho mot Lissigaray
Pyat , Pllotol , the nttlst ; Montbjrd , the
Bohemian Illustrator ; Verrnoach , o
"Pera Diicbcauo" notorloly , and the gen
tlcmnn who'has olnca soboiod down into
the dignity of French agent at Calio M
Camilo Bairoru. It waa a strange act ,
and not a harmonious ono. The exiles
had nt heart llttlo bnt contempt and hatred -
rod fcr each other. Vcrmoich , the black-
eat of the croup , deaplted his fellow-refu
gees aa timid and half hearted. Llessga.
2'arjy looked upon Yalloi as a braggart
and n 'poseur. " Vallos cordially returned -
turned his dial ke and before long broke
with him altogether. Very amusing It
waa at times , say these who remember
the author of " "
"Jacques Vingtraa" In
tlioio days , to listen to the blood
and thunder apoechoa with which
ho mod to startle the frequeutara of
the Cufo do I'Amnistlo. Yet many cnn
remember him in qulto other moods at
this period emlllng and joking at Mra.
Weldoii's concerts , in which ho took
. great Intcrait , or pitying Ihe part of a
well-bred French gentleman nt evening
parties. Hn atudlodthu low tide of Lon
don lifo thoroughly nt this period. Ho
know all the miser ? U contained , and the
vice and crime. Under the ctcort of the
police ho vliitcd the thieves' quarters ,
and what ho had observed ho described
with a power and picturcsqneness not un
worthy a Dickens. Llko many exiles , he
was Mlllcted with the spy monomania.
The most Innocent Intruder on hia pri
vacy was at once set down as a moucharj.
And at last ho grow ao nervous that he
left the busy city and took lodging ) in
distance suburb , wbero ho iniigliud hlm-
eelf safe from persecution. IJarlnp hii
stay in England bo came into a little
money and embarked In some specula
tlon , which ho himself vaguely described
scribed as "coramerjo. " For the timi
being ho oven thrived at hia now occu
patlon , and had not tha amnojty jusi
then allowed him to return to hlabelovcc
Parla he might have ended his days i
humdrum , retpectablo citizen.
Jules Valles waa not a handioma man
but ho had something leonlno and pecn
liar In hla appearance which redecmo :
htm from being coinmonplaca. His fuc <
was square , rod , and ojitse , firmly aotoi
a ballaockani br nd , big shouldoM. li
England ho had nffeclcd long hair and
ultra-shabby garments. But soon after
its raturn to Paris he trimmed his locks
and began to dress to respectably that his
old companions lollr almost had a jusli-
icatlon for their sneer that "Jules" wai
apldly becoming botirgeoiso.
Between 1880 nnd 1884 ho published
ils thrco autobiographical novels
L'Enfant. " "Lo baohcller , " and
L'Insurge , forming the complete sluty
of "Jaques Vintgras. " They wcro pow
erful and strange works , touched hero
and there with grim humor and full of
> ltlles > douanciatlons of the French edu-
: .tional * nnd nodal eystoms.
In 1881 , on.tho Matin bolng slatted ,
Vallcs was naked to contribute n scries of
( olitlcal articles to the paper. They were
ar weaker than his earlier efforts nnd did
ittlo ta Increase hla ropuUtlon.
Ho had nn odd way of writing , by the
> y , OQ any scraps of paper , envelopes or
lowspaper wrappers which ho might
lappcn to hnvo on hand. While waiting
n a hill or drawing room ho would pull
out a pencil nnd ndd a paragraph or n
mgo to aoino hook or piper ho was pre-
larlng. Ills facility wai remarkable , but
its imagination was limited , Ho had
ml "ono string to his bow , " In January ,
1884 , ho stnrtod the Crl du People ,
chiefly with the funds supplied him by n
certain Dr. Guobard , whoso mme was
iftarward brought into prominence
) y the Ballorlch CBSD. The
"Inaugural" banquet given at the
aow piper will long bo remembered
jy Parla journals. It WAS n stentatioinly
vulgar feast. Hnm , sausage , nnd cheap
win ) were the chief attractions In the bill
of faro , and Vallea drank bumpers to
scc'allsm out of nameless utensils.
Fortwoyoirs previous to his death
Tulos Vallos had boon Buffering from dla-
jotoj. In the end , they nay , It nfibotcd
tila brain , and by his doctor's order he
was compallcd to glvo up active work ,
and leave the management of the Crl du
I'euplo in his ns-lstaut- .
Fnw of the articles which ho signed in
Lo Mitin or La Cti about this period
were probably nltogothor from hla own
pen. Some of them are balievod to have
boon wrlttan by a lady who had long ad
mired him platonlcaliy , and who dovotcd
much of her time , it Is understood , to
making his last days easy.

Albany , N. Y. , Fob. 22. On ono of
the ' Cleveland
citysnow-slideaPren'dent-oleet -
land stood last night. Ho waa muflled ta
the chin , but appeared to bo cold. The
kill was thronged with coasters. Beauti
ful Albany holloa were cut in force , ac-
compalned by tholr escorts. The anew
path wetted with swiftly-rushing sleds
locked with lovly girls ia gay attire.
Mr. Cleveland wa a passive spectator
of the animated ocono for many minutes.
Finally ho turned to a friend at his elbow
and remarked that ho wished ho were a
boy again. This sentiment was echoed by
Ills auditor , and was overheard by a rosy-
checked young lady with a sled , who had
just clambered the stoop ascent , She
jiiickly whispered to her big brother and
10 timidly approached the great man.
Confusedly ho tendered Mr. Cleveland
; ho nso of hla sled , but the offer was po-
"itoly declined.
Cleveland's friend urged him to accept
the proffered ' 'bob , " nnd ho heroically
volunteered to pilot tha cranky craft.
Mr. Cleveland hesitated and murmured
something about Its not beiog very digni
fied. Bnt bis companion over-ruled his
objections , and Mr. Cleveland permitted
himself to bo led to the brow of the hill.
The next President sat down with a
dull thump. The next Instant they were
darting down the slide like a flash of light.
Tears came Into tho'.eycs of tha President
elect , and ho hold his breath as the wind
blew through his mustache with a morn-
ful cadence. Jolly coasters caught only a
glimpse of him as the sled sped down
ward , but ho did not oicape recognition.
Young men clapped tholr hands and pan
ting boautlos panted to wave handker
chiefs and comfortaw. It wai a triumph
by moonlight.
At last the little sled came to a pause
and Mr. Cleveland and his pilot alightad.
Their clothing was Hocked with Showy
particles and thelr nojos had bcon deftly
tonchonby frosty hands , bnt they did not
care. Mr. Cleveland had enjoyed a bob
sled ride for the first tlmo in thirty years.

About eighteen miles above Contrail * ,

toot ! tootl and to Blacken his pace , and
by and by the train came to a standstill.
The in ale passengers rushed ont , as in
duty bound , and m tlmo to see a man ly
ing on the rails in front of the cngina and
another man bending over him. When
the crowd , heeded by the conductor ,
reached the spot the man on his foot ex
plained :
'I discovered h'm ' about ton minutes
ago , and as I didn't want to SOD the train
run over him I gave you the signal. "
'But why didn't you pull him off the
Irnskl" asked tbo conductor.
"I couldn't ba hired to touch a dead
jody , " was the reply.
"What , Is ho dead ? "
"Reckon ho Is that. "
Wo examined the body and found lifo
n It. Ho was a puorly dressed man ,
ecomlngly in hard luck , and for the mat-
rf that BO was the other ,
'lllilnk , " said the stranger who had
stopped the train , "that he's taken pizon
slid laid down hero to make sure work of
It. If you nrj a mind to take him on to
Contralla I'll kind o' rob him into lifo
and got a doctor to pnmj > him out. "
The conductor assented and wo lu _
the body into iho baggage car. Tha cato
created considerable talk among the pn-
songere , and a puree of $7 was made up
for thn unfortunate. However , as wo
slowed up for Contralla and before the
purs9 was presented there was great yellIng -
Ing from the baggage car , and wo looked
out to ceo'tho two tramps dusting it across
afield. It wai n amp they had played

In this nursery of seamen extending
long the coast cf New England , writes a
low London , Conn. , correspondent to
'ho Boston Globe , a sailor must justl'y
ny claims for distinction by a display of
xcoptlonsl qualities , or they will not ba
llowcd by the profession , which Is
otablyjust as well as generous. Still
'lore arolndlvldualinstances whoroa life-
mo spent at son is so free from accident
iat something more than luck mutt bo
ookcd fcr to account for the exceptional
ramunity from the ocoan'a perils. This
pplloa in the cato of Capr J. Warren
lolmoa , of Mystic , who has summered
id wintered in every navigable part of
10 world for half a century , barring two
r throe years , nnd yet has soltttlo to tell
n the way of accidents , hair-breadths'
scapes , or uncommon peril that hla
fo would scorn to justify the Bailor's
olicitudo for landsmen who are ox-
osodto death or injury from flying tigns
nd tumbling shlmnoj a during the provnl *
nco of high winds on shore. In 1837 ,
hon 13 yeara of ego , Capt. Holmes ship ,
ed before the rntst on the bnrk Loader
> r a whaling voyage In the North Alhn-
c , and Borne yoara subsequently com-
nandod the eamo vessel after sailing two
oyagoa aa mnto in the ship Corlolanna ,
/apt. John McGlnloy , also in the whaling
utinoEs. Aa a whaler ho was eminently
uccoasful for himself nnd owner , tholato
} harloD Mallory , of Mystic , in whoso
orvicj ho remained as captain of whaling
nd merchant votso's for twenty-seven
oars. Lito In the TiO'a Capt. Holmes
ailed between Now York and eouthom
orta , subsequently transferring to the
Upper ships running between Now
fork , San Francisco and Liverpool , com-
lauding in succession the bark Fanny ,
hips Francis E. F. Willis , Haze , Twi-
got , and bis present ship , the Sernlnole.
) arlng this period of forty-eight years ho
ias doubled C&po Horn forty-nino times
nd the Capo of Good Hopa four-
oan times , sailing in hia whaling
nd merchant voyages at n moderate
omputation between 1,50U,000 nnd
.000,000 miles. The distance silled
rhilo engaged cruising for whales ,
omethlng over fourteen yeats , is rather
indereetlmatod , Inking 130 milenn daycs
ho ship's log. In all probability this
onld bo Btrctohcd ont very much longer
vlthont encroaching on the marvelous ,
s many of the old whalers were very
est Bsilora , and as they sailed contin-
iaUy , with the exception of two or three
reeks between seasons , when they made
Sandwich islands , or Now Xaalnnd or
thor convenient parts , to rosrult tholr
hip. The dlatanca aallod in the mer-
hant servlco is capable of moro accurate
omputation.
In all those forty-eight years Capt.
lolmoa has met with but ono sarioas
mishap , tint bolng In the year 1808 , In
outhcrn latitudes , when in command of
io Ssminolo. The day was clear , with
steady breeze and the sea scarcely
nfllod , when the captain saw a white
quail coming for him , and nloo saw that
le could not escape it nor shorten sill
ufliciont to tcmpor its fury. So nothing
omaiuod but to let her come , which oho
id like a ilish of lightning , knocking the
hip on her beam ends nnd carrying the
matnnnat , foremast and browsprit clean
nt of hor. The foremast was broken in
hreo places between the deck and the
mainmast head. The wind wai In the
natnro of a whirlwind , so the enmo squa'l '
hat knocked her down considerably
ighted her as it gave the parting kick
and wont its way ciroenlng over the
ocean. Strange to relate , Capt. Holmes ,
landing on the poop-dock within forty
eot of the furious squall , scarcely felt
i poll of wind , nor was the mizzonmist
njurod beyond having some of the stays
oosoned by the other mnits going by iho
> oard , Jurymasts were rigged and the
, hlp made port for repairs. The fait eat
; rip made between Now York and San
li'ranclsco by Capt. Holmes was ninety-
Ix dnys and between San Francisco and
cw York ninety-throe days. Thlssimo
) issago ho has undo to Liverpool , bnt It
lees not speak so well for the ahlp , be
cause after crossing the equator the passage -
sago to Liverpool is made with the trade
winds abeam or on the quarter nnd every
sail drawn , while on the Now York pis-
saga the wind is free and only the Balls on
ono mast are doing dnty.
Capt. Holmes exhibits with pardonable
jrido a solid gold beaker with the follow-
ng Inscription : "Preaented by the
British government to Capt. Holmes ,
tiastor of ship Scminolc , of Now York ,
n acknowledgment of his humanity and
cindnoas to the master and crow of the
British th'p ' Knrrachoo. which was wreck
ed at aoa Nov. 22 , 1879. " The beaker
waa forwarded through the state deport
ment and presented to Capt. Holmes by
Collector Morritt , of New York. In
personal appearance Oapt. Holmes is not
jnliko the duke of Wellington , having
the same beak , which Is the mark of a
man born to command. Hla head ia
frosted with silver nnd his closely cut
whiskcra ara equally white , but his black
oycs are as bright and piercing as when a
young man bound on a throe years' whal
ing voyago. The captain still follows
the aeaitnd bids fair to enjoy many yenrj
to como of active business. His ship ia
now loading in Now York for San Fran-
claco. For many years his n ifo hud made
voyages in compiny with him , and would
; hink nothing oven now of picking her
trunk and starting for Liverpool or
Yokohama to join her husband.
Whaling was the school that made sail
ors , and ono where any but a man of
dauntless courage would always remain nt
the foot , for it lakes moro cool courage
and daring to fasten to a sperm whale
than Is required to face the liut shower ol
a battery. In referring to his whaling
experience , the captain's eye brightens
and his teeth unconsciously close with a
snap as ho cays : "I always loved to put a
lance Into n whale's life nnd churn up
blood. " Sperm oil was § 1 25 a gallon
forty yoara ago , nnd § 1 extra bonus totbo
master , hence the enthusiasm , Steaa
has destroyed the romance of the aca am
seamen , and another decide will BOO Bail
oi'i like Oapt. Holmea almost disappcn
from the service.

When a baby Eskimo's mother makes
the hood of her reindeer eult , aho
stretches It into a long sack or bag , tha
hangs down behind nnd ia supported by
her uhoulders , and this big of reindeer'
skin is his cradle nnd home , where he
lives until ho knows how to walk , whei
ho goto on his first suit of clothing.
Tint , however , is while the baby Eskimo
la out of doors , and his mother is mak
Ing a social visit. When at hit own
house , ia order not to trjublo bis motbe
while she Is sewing or cooking or doln
sach other work , tbo llttlo baby Is al
lowed ta roll around almott wlthou
lothinp , among the reindeer aklns that
make the bed , where It amuses ittclf
with anything It cnn lay its hands on ,
rom n Intohet to anow-stlck.
You doubtless think little Boreas
hould have n nlco tlmo rolling around
o hla heart' * content on the soft , warm
olndoor skins ; but when I toll you moro
ibout his llttlo hcrno , yon may not then
hink to. For his winter homo Is built

"But won't the anew melt and the

iy closely regulating the smonnt of there

old enough In their homo to frocza.
So yon can BOO that the llttlo Eskimo
n not have auch n very nio ttrno , nnd
ou can't see how in the world ho cm bo
Imost naked nearly all day long when It
s so cold. Bnt such is the fact.
Yet , In aplto of all this , the little fol-
ow really enjoys himself. Ho gets used
o the cold , and has great fun frolicking
round on the reindeer skins and playing
with his toys ; and when I hn > o told aomo
thor stories about thn cold these llttlo

ow they cm cnjoy themselves In the

hen it is only a llttlo colder than freer.-

At times the Cro will got too wnrm In

"Yos , wo operators sometimes have
ironic experience s , " said n young-look
ng white-haired telegrapher , replying to
an interrogation of the San Frjncisco
Call representative. "By all odds the
moat thrilling incident that ever came
within my own expcrlonce , " ho continued
nnslugly , "occurred ono night about
.welvo . years ago , 1 was then n yonng operator -
orator on the Northern pacific rallroid ,
nt a small station in c&stcrn Minnesota ,
called Ktmberl ) . 1 was doing the night
vork from 7. m. to 7 a. m. , and being
of a soclnl disposition , used to tleop only
when there was nothing of interest going
in. Klmbcrly was quite n resort
or picnics , bolng situated on the edge
of ono of these beautiful lakes for which
Minnesota la famed , nnd on the day ro-
erred to I had boon out with n party of
oung folks , nnd by night waa thoroughly
Irod out. There waa no possible escape
rom work , though , and I had to reporter
or duty as usual. Well , 1 struggled
long until about S o'clock , when 1 was
iroso Irooi n light doze by the ticking of
netrumont. I dragged myself over to
where it stood nnd received the following
Ispntch :
" 'To Operator Kirnberly : Hold Ml
west-bound trains. Bridge No. ( > is
vashod away. '
"Bridge No. G was several miles west
of my ttition , nnd spanned n ( mall
troBin in which logs wcro floated down
rom the pineries. I had hoard that
[ ay of n big 'jam' near there , nnd now
callzed that it had broken and swept the
irldgo away. The section men had ro-
lortod it to the next station wet of mo ,
and my order was the result. Still , 1
raa in that somnolent state when noth-
ug scorns of Imiuedi&ta Importance , and
tftcr mechanically lighting my elgnnl-
anttrn , laid down ngain on the table
rom which 1 had risen , neglecting to
mug the lantern out. I don't know how
eng I bad olopt , when I was suddenly
conscious that n train wns Hearing the
tatlon , at the simo tlmo being unable to
novo or awaken myself. I know that I
was aeloop , realized the necessity of stop-
) inx the train , and that it would not
itop at Kimberly If no signal was dla-
> layod. Yet I wns powerless to aavo
hem from the inevitable destruction
which nwnitod them If they wcra not
vnrned of tha carrying away of the
jrldge. I thall never forget the agony
hose.thoughts brought mo. I struggled
0 break the chains of sloop which held
mo. The effort was accompanied by a
moat peculiar sensation. I can only
compare it with the action of n wntch-
prlng which haa boon drawn to Its
itmost tension nnd then lot go. You
enow how it will buzz for
1 few moments as it unwinds Itself.
? hat ia exactly the way my brain
whirled ns I sank back exhausted
after each effort. I felt the train drnw
nearer and nearer. It was like the np-
iroach of fato. If It passed I was n
nutdorer. Again and n ain I struggled ,
with the simo result ; I could not wake.
t mast have boon bat n few momenta ,
ofc I endured what Boomed hours of
orturo. I think the jar and rumble of
ho train as it sped by must have anak-
nncd mo. 1 jumped to my feet , seized
, ho lantern , which was still burning bo-
Ido my chair , nnd dashed out through
ho open window. The rear coach traa
uat passing the west end of the platform
screamed , and In my frenzy tnshod
after the departing train. The noltoand
peed mocked me. Recollecting myaolf ,
swung my lantern across the track
ho usual signal of danger. There was
no ono in Bight. Just aa the train swept
around a curve a brakeman appeared on
ho rear platform. A moment later I
icard what I have always considered
ho most welcome sound that
ver reached my oars a shriek
rom thn engine and the rattle of the air
irakes. As I realized that the train was
ivod , as a reaction overcame mo and I
ell on the track unconscious.
"It waa six weeks before I recovered
rom the brain favor which followed ,
fortunately , the trainmen were old
rlends of nrno , and the true came of
ny illness never reached headquarters.
Jpon recovery I resigned my position nt
Ilmberiy and came west , being haunted
with sach a dread of a repetition of the
xporienco of that night that I dared not
resume work in tbnt place. Since then I
iavo had many remarkable experiences ,
mt none which produced BO startling or
astlng impression upon mo. The boy a
of ten'laugh nt my enow-whito hair , know-
no to bo scarcely above 30 years of ago ,
Ittle Imagining whit caused it. "
