Th Tcoriin the past fnrntsb. us with half-a-doM&

kT been Informed of tbeir tragical deaths. To
aca an extent ha the belief ot a post-existence
wen carried that one could sav, with ereat
propriety, in the language of Sir William Jones:
-The block may oak their gore,
Their heads may sodden in the son, their limbs
Be strung to eity Rates and cast le walls;
St still their spirit walks abroad."
And tbeie spirits serin generally to be encased
in tangible earthly bodies, If we may credit the
tales of travrllew. This jouog "public has not

One positively swears that he saw him driving

Is equally confident tliat he beheld bim visiting
St Petei's at Rome. One fact Is certain iu re
gard to the disposal of the corpse ot Booth, that
its restins-plnce is known to but few, and tne
tmhlic at large are in doubt as to whether it now
moulders In a secluded and unknown grave, or
whether the dark waters of the Potomac re
ceived his manuled remaius. Buo;b, imlped,
may be aid to be the only really mysterious
per-onuge we have hud In our annals, although,
pcrhap'. lor the lew jears we have been an in
dependent republic, no nation ever made its
bisiory so lat. One of the locsl traditions of
New Yort that has caused much wonderment is
the case of
John C. Colt,
brother of Samuel Colt, Inventor of the Colt
revolver. 11m murdered in 1H42 a man named
Adainn, to whom he owed an amount of money,
aud who had doueed Colt, considerably. AdamB
called at the office of Colt, on the corner of
Broadway and Chambers street, when a scuffle
ensued, and Colt, seizing a hatchet ljing near,
despatched his creditor. . He then went out,
clisrd the door, and while walking In the park
rerolyed to return, cut the body up, and send it
to New Orleans; but in the meantime Adams
was missed, and having been last seen going
into Colt's office, that gentleman was sus
pected, and it was ascertained lrom a car
man that a box had lett the office. This
box was found at the bottom of the vessel. Colt
was tried and convicted, but his counsel (who
confessed to it on his dying bed) Introduced a
knite iDto the prison with which Colt committed
suicide on the morning of his execution. Seve
ral mysterious circumstances were attached to
this murder and suicide, tor the evening before
the execution a man in diseuise called upon the
sherirl and offered bim $1000 to atl'ord tac'lities
for the escape of tbe criminal, which proposi
tion was not entertained; and an hour or two
before Colt was to have been hanged the bell
tower ot the Tombs took fire and a great deal of
confusion ensued. Although an inquest was
ield on the body, it was almost universally be
lieved that Colt ha9 escaoecl. Kven now reports
come from various parts of the world that he
has been teen alive, and about fifteen years ago
soaoy sensational articles appeared purporting
that be had escaped and was still living.
"The Alan Without a Country.";
Whether or not the person who bears this
pseudonym was the subject of a cleverly con
cocted lable or not, it is at least a singular case.
The person who Is said to have borne this title
was a Philip Nolan, a notice of whose death ap
peared last year in a New York journal. It ran
thus: "Died, on board the U. 8. corvette
Levant, on the 11th of May, Philip Nolan."
The story is as follows: When Aaron Burr
made his first dashing expedition down to New
Orleans, in 1805, he' met a lieutenant named
Philip Nolan, belonging to the Legion of the
West.- The young officer became fascinated with
the brilliant statesman, who enlisted him in his
treasonable schemes. The authorities suspected
Nolan of being An accomplice of Burr's, and on
the court-martial the impetuous youth criej out
in a tit of Irenzy, "D n the United States 1 I
wiih I may never hear of the United States
agaiu." Iheee words shocked the Kevtrtu
tiouary officers that formed tbe court-martial,
and Nolan was condemned to be sent on board
, a ve68el, where he was never again to hear the
words United State?, and the instructions re
ceived were as follows:
"Washington" (with the date, which must have
seen hue In 1807). 'Sir: You will receive from Lieu
tenant Neale tbe person of Philip Nolan, late a lieu
tenant in the United mates army. This person on bis
trial by court-martial expressed with an oath the
wlh that he might 'never hear of the United States
again.' The Court sentenced bim to have his wlnn
luliilled. For the present, the execution ot the order
, is intrusted by the President to thia department. You
will take the prisoner on board your ship, and keep
him there with such precautions aa shall prevent his
escape. You will provide him with such quarters,
rations, and clothing as would be proper tor an oillcer
f 1) Sh late rank, If be were a passenger on your vessel
n the business of his Government.
"The sentleiuen on board will make any arrange
ments agreeable to themselves reiiardlng bis society.
He la to be exposed to no Indignity of any kind, nor
la he ever unnecessary to be reminded that be is a
prisoner. But under no clroumatances Is be ever to
ear or his country or to see any in tor mat Ion regard
ing It: and you will sneolallv caution all the odieera
nuder your command to take eare, that In the various
Indulgences which may be granted, this rule, la
which bis Dunlahment la Involved, ahall not be
broken. It Is the Intention of the Government that
lie ahall never again see the country wblua be has
disowned. Before the end of your cruise you will re-
ceiveorders which will give effect to this intention.
"Respectfully yours, W BODTUARd.
"For the Secretary of the Navy."
Nolan seems to have been nassed from vessel
to vessel, and to have remained a prisoner for
over sixty years, and was made the subject of
innumerable traditions ana palpable myths, tie
was strictlv guarded, and tbe name of the
United States never mentioned to him. It Is
generally supposed, however, that this myth
was originated during the recent war by some
hleblv imaginative individual who desired to
institute compaiisod and similes between Nolan
ana tne neoei leaders, ut course. jNoian re
rented of his folly, and died deeply reerettlne
the incautious words that condemned him tn a
life of imprisonment, which was probably more
fiamiui, its iv urcveiiicu nun -jrom lnieriering in

The Last of tbe Stuart.
Henry Benedict Maria Clement Stuart, Ca r-
omai i org, tne last maie representative of the
Btuart family, was born inlRome in 172fi. died in
Tenice in 1807. He was the younger brother of
ne iretenacr, inaries uawara (tne Prince
Charley ot bcotUBO. song), whom he was pre
waring to aid with a body of French trooos
assembled at Dunkirk, when the overthrow of
the Jacobites at (Julloilen mined the Stuart
cause in Britain, lie subsequently took orders
in the Roman Catholic Church, and in 1747
was appointed by Benedict XIV a Cardinal.
On the death of his brother, in 1788, he as
mi rued the title of King of Kngland as Henry
IX. aralia Dei. non voluntate horninum,. as
the medal which he caused to be struck on
, the occasion declared. He was subsequently
' obliged to take refuse from French invasion in
"Venice, and durine tb.8 last years of his lite was
deDendent on the British Couit for means of sub
sistence. He was the last male of the Stuart
fumilr. and with his death the Hoe became ex
tinct. Its chief branches in the female hue are
the houses of Savoy and Orleans and the Duke
f Mnriena. all descended from Henrietta Maria,
daughter of Charles I, of which king the present
Duke or jviouena is rue nuetu icucscu'.iic,
in thus, hut for the act of settlement, heir to
the crown of England. There are two families
of name of Stuart on this contiuent that
ho the descendants of the Stuarts,
and if they be the descendants they cannot be
the legitimate lineal representatives, because
the last male of tbe line died a priest, and was
never married: and the females, on marrluge,
changed their names. One of these females re
sides in Jackson, Mo., and the other lu Leno

THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH- PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY,
SPOUTING.
Jas-BIcCool Prlxe Flgn.
JVctn the Cincinnati GatUe, Augutt 21.
Aaron Jones is still 'etly RoltiK throngh Ws
daily process of training at Kh idy GnrMilli
said tobe in admirable condition. Latterly he
be has beenexerclHing with avjew to mprove
bis wind, and in this important Pt n iR be
lieved that be is fully up to the niark. His quiet
and unassuming manners have made him many
friends, and while be has all confidence in his
capacity to win the hirbt, there is not the
(lightest etidrnce o' 'btflg" in his conversation.
He is faithfully looked alter b Mr. CuicK, who
is nnquesiionably the best trainer in the coun
try, and perhaps in the world.
We hear that McCool has lately been paying
more attention to his 'raining, and is ronse
ouently improving in condition. Perhaps he
has awakeneii to a sense of the serious lob on
hand, and don't feel quite so confident of his
anility to polish off the englishman.
There is an erroneous impression, which we
with others received, that McCool is consider
ably the junior of Jonc. Now, the contraryis
the fact. The latter v us born in 1833, and
McCool iu 1832, so that the more gicantic com'
batant'doesnot possess the gencrslly conceded
advantage of juvenility. The bettlnc is some
what mixed. In St. Louis considerable monev
has been deposited at odiis of $1000 to $600 on
McCool. Here he is tbe favorite at $100 to $75,
while In New York tbev are betttnc odds ou
Jones.
The fight will come off. if nothing intervenes
to prevent it. on the 31nt of the month, and we
believe that the liver trip Las been abandoned,
and that the ground selected for the "mill" will
be reached by railway. As the day draws near
ttie excitement increases, and however mucii
the moral sense of nronrietv mm he shocked.
there is no question thin the affair is the promi
nent topic of interest oi the day.
it is contemplated lo tret up an entertainment
for the benetit of Aaron Jones, withiu a week or
ten dajs, at Mozart Hall, upon which occasion
ho will put iu an appearance in Li eh ting cos

The Com I us Horse.
223 MADE BY AN UNTRAINKD PTAIMON-
THE
FOB
HOR8B THAT HOWE TRIED TO BUY MEM
BONNER.
From the Chicago Tribune.
A few weeks siuce it was stated in several of
the journals of this country that a great trotting
phenomenon hod juecbeen brought out at
Paris. The statement gave the time ot the
horse at 223, which was said to have been made
without any previous training. The report was
not believed on this tide of the water, and
wafers were ireely offered that no such perform
ance had been made. From a gentleman who
has just returned from Paris, where he wit
nessed the trial, and who is of unquestionable
veiacity, we gather the lollowine:
Un the visit ot the Czar to Pans, he broucrht
with him, among other objects oi interest, a
stallion which was a natural trotter, and which,
never having been trained, had developed an
extraordinary degree of speed. This was tbe
horse Bedouin, an animal of Arabian blood,
crossed with Holland block. He has been in
the Emperor's stables ever since foaling, and
began to show the qualities of a trotter at seven
years. When the Czar veut to Paris he took
the stallion with him. in Jane last a trial was
made of the speed of tbe horse in tbe Bois de
Boulogne in the presence of a large gathering of
English and American neotlenien. natrons of
the turf. Tne turf was a rounded rectangle.
much the shape and s.ze of one of oar ordinary
half-mile courses.
In a heavy Bu6sian eig, weighing 126 poundK
the groom of the stallion, a man weighing 125
pounds, drove the horse, which was-very fleshy,
and not by any means in good speeding condi
tion, three times about the cuurse in the time
of4 i7. The track was measured by several
gentlemen, cuiious to know the exact time, and
was tound to measure nearly five-eighths of a
mile. Tbe stallion bad therefore trotted a mile
and seven-elehths at the rate of 2234 to a mile !
The effort was at once made by a number of our
Americans to purchase the horse, and Elias
Howe, Jr., offered 8100,000 for him. it is said.
The Czar refined to part with him, intending to
keep him lor breeding purposes.
Bedouin is eleven years old. btteen hands
three inches in beieht, and weighed at the time
of tbe above trial 1130 pounds. He has a beau
tiful head, limbs clean and very strong, with a
tail sweeping the ground. It was thought that,
in good condition, the stallion could trot a mile
in 2'11 at least.
The
King of the Pickpockets Some
Facts About Dan Noble.
From the Cleveland Flaintlealer.
The telegraph informs ns that the notorious
Dan Noble has just "come to grief," having
been arrested at Elmira, charged with receiving
t'zuu.uuo oi the bonds stolen last ueceuioer ironi
tbe Koyal Insurance Company. This announce
mem revives some tacts that have come to our
reportorial knowledge at various times tn regard
to ubd. tie is wen Known to tue sporting ira-
ternity of Cleveland and vicinity, who look up
to him as the king of pickpockets and expert
tnieves generally. Dan toot up hts residence in
Cleveland some time in the year 1862, in a
house on Bolivar street. Afterwards he rented
an elegant residence in East Cleveland, and
lived there in great state. Hereabouts he was
known as a liberal and iree-and-easy "gentle
man" of his class a patron of dog-flouting,
borse-raclng, foot-racing, prize-fighting, and
everyttiing else in tne sporting line. Cleveland
was his headquarters, from which he would
make incursions to various parts of the coun
try. In one ot these forays he "relieved" a man
of $1500 on a PittBbure train. Word was some-
howgot to the Pittsburg detectives that suco
a robbery had been committed, and they were
therefore on the lookout when the train entered
the depot ot that place. Dan was at once
"spotted" as the thief, being known, and
was pursued. Before he was caught, he
had thrown away the money, so that it was
not found on his person. He was examined and
held for trial in tne sum of $3500. That amount
tne prisoner easily ootalned at a Cleveland
bank where he had a fat balance and was
therefore set at liberty. After residing here two
or three years he went East. A year ago last
winter Noble won $76,000 at faro, In tew York
city, where he lived In princely style, until a
reverse of fortune at the gamingtable compelled
mm to sacnuce it. tie is a shrewd and uarlng
"epcrt," and we have no idea that thn law. bvpti
now, has got him securely; but doubt not he will
elude Its meshes In some manner.

It is dated December 2. 1352. There is no evi
dence that Newton gave the Droblem anv

Letter from the ltebel ex-Postmaster-Ueuei
Hi,
A Washington desjiutch to the Boston Post
says:
'A letter just received from Hon. John II.
Iiagan, lute I'ustmaster-Onerul under the Rebel
(jovernment, acknowledues the receipt of his
pardon from the President, and promises an
energetic effort to have the Kecoustructiou laws
executed in good faith. He fears, however, that
negro supremacy in the South is inevitable,"
General trlia JRrm.otctrl from
tk Catholic ChrirC-V
From the Freemen'M Journal.
A Bill of Divokob. Our attention has been
drawn to a paragraph in the era'd rind Vindi
cator a weekly paper In Philadelphia, owned
and edited by an irishman. It refers to ajjutf
gest lon made by the Boston JVic! of itz name of
I'bi). Sheridan as acandidate for the Presidency.
Tbe Philadelphia paper puts on 'umble airs, and
says it will not do for an Irish paper to propose
an Irish-American Catholic for President. If
that is all that is the matter General Pbil. Hheri
dan can get a dean or dirty "bill ot health 1" It
is true he Is of liieh Catholic parentage. We
have heard that he was once in the Dominican
College in Ohio, hs a student. If so, he is the
poorest specimen of handiwork that we have
known tbe Dominicans to turn out. We have
been assured that he is a Free Mason. If so, and
if the lodge he belongs to Is In good standing, it
would certainly and of necessity expel him, wera
t oroe of his doings In the Valley of Virelula to
be brought to trial that Is, except Free Masonry
Is as much altered as "Methodists North" have
been I
ff Phil. Sheridan wants to run as radical can
didate for President we can be of service to
him. We can get him certificates of ipso facto
excommunication by the Catholic Church. Free
Masonry is bndlv run down from what it used
to be among American Masons if he cannot get
the same certificate from that religion it they
ever had the misfortune of having him among
them.
If Phil. Sheridan wants a through ticket prov
ing he is excommunicated from the Catholic
Church and a reseroidcase at that, he can
apply at our oflice, and we will make out his
papers for him. The memory of what he did
to the devoted Father hheeran, who came into
his lines, on proper permission, to care for
dying soldiers of bo'h armies, will haunt Phil.
Sheridan on his death-bed, and a good deal
lower down, except he has the grace to get le
lieved from the terrible penalties he has in
curred, and which it is not every priest can
absolve him from.
If Phil. Sheridan is not a fool, he had better
hunt up t'ather Rheeran in New Orleans, and
see if the good Father baa, or can obtain, the
power of absolving him.
Heavy Failure at Fort Ann.
Fort Ann, New York, August 22. The Lamb
Bros , proprietors of the extensive woollen fac
tory at this place, have failed. The amount of
liabilities is understood to be $130,000. It Is
supposed that the cause ot the failure is similar
to that which induced the late collapse of the
Unadilla Bank excessive and persistent bor
rowing on the part of the managing men, with
heavy losses m their operations. An assignment
has been made by the Lamb Brothers to a
wealthy citizen of this town. The Lambs lost
a factory by fire a few years since; tbe building
now closed was erected upon the site of the old
one. It was lrom this factory that the supplies
of clothing were drawnj with which Billy Wil
son's Zouaves were first uniformed. It will be
remembered that those uniforms held out for
at leatit twenty-four hours.
Tho Disasters of a Night.
Galignanl says: "No crop is more uncertain
than that of wines. A really good vintage occurs
only at considerable intervals, for the vine
grower is exposed to many disasters. Extreme
cold In winter may destroy his plants a sudden
frost in May may blight the whole crop of the
year. Four years ago a single hour's frost In
the district around Cognac destroyed three mil
lions sterling worth of property. The evening
before the vineyards were clothed in the bright
est green; at six the next morning nothing was
to be seen but brown, burnt leaves, as it an
eighth plague bad passed over the land. On all
sides groups of peasant proprietors, men,
women, and children, were gathered together in
tbe early morning, weeping'as men weep, with
little noise but big tears, over their ruin. They
had lost their year's income, and, for small for
tunes, this is all."
A Gentle Whisper to Mothers.
If unfortunately you have lost your own

that your daughters do Dot sutler tbe same
penally from tbe same cause. Hee to it that
they binsb tbeir teeth regularJy and thoroughly

TOBACCO.
QNE HUNDRED DOLLARS A DAY!!
CENTURY TOBACCO,
IN TIN FOIL.
In order to overcome a natural pnjudice that
always exists against New York Tobaccos, and being
fully convinced that where the CENTURY brand Is
once used Its superior qualities will be recognized,
we have adopted the plan of putting money In the
papers as an extra Inducement to consumers to give
It a trial.
Instead of a single Hundred Dollar Note In one
paper, as we have done heretofore, we have con
cluded to vary the amount, but In all cases to allow
the aggregate to be the same, viz.:
ONE HUNDRED DOLLABS A DAY t
On MONDAYS we will place a HUNDRED DOLLAR
(One Paper.) NOTE In a paper of Century, and
In addition present the finder with
a box ot Century.
On TUESDAYS we will place In each of TWO paper
(TwoFaperB.) of Century a FIFTY DOLLAR
NOTE, and. In addition, present
the finders with a pound bag of
Yacht Club Smoking Tobacco, pro
nounced by all to be the best manu
factured. On WEDNESDAYS we will place In each of FIVE
(Five Papers.) papers Of Century a TWENTY
DOLLAR NOTE, presenting to
each of the finders a half pound
bag of Yacht Club.
On THUB6DAY8 we will place In each of TEN
(Ten Papers.) papers of Century a TEN DOL
LAR NOTE, presenting each finder
