The Story Of Mouticello.
How the Home of Jefferson is Said to
Have Come to its Present Owaers
The Monticello plantation is owned
by a mar named Levy (pronounced, or
rather requested to be pronounced, Le-
vy). I will tell youhow he came into
possession of it if you will listen to along
story, which you will not hear else-
where. My narrator had it of his fath-
er, and his father of his father, who was
the son of that Martha Randolph, Jef-
ferson’s only surviving daughter, who
was left at his death, when her father
had paid every dollar he owed, even to
the uttermost farthing, without a home
or means of support. It happened in
this wise, and we must go back to the
second war with Great Britain.
‘When that difficulty was over the
United States Government gave brevet
rank to most of the creditable army
and naval men who had served through
the struggle. Young Levy was brevet-
ed First Licutenant and went over to
France,where he took high rank in
Jewish social circles—so high rank that
one of the maiden ladies of the Roths-
child family declared her passion for the
handsome, commanding looking young
American, and swore that she would be-
come his bride. The elder Rothschilds
were a shrewd lot. They sent for the
handsome black-eyed officer and askea
on what terms he would instantly re-
turn home. Ie indignantly assured
them that he was “an officer and a gen-
tleman.” They accepted this fact and
increased their bribe, but not until he
hed obtained something like $150,000 —
a large sum in thosedays—did the gal-
lant American feel that his honor would
be unstained and his purse at the same
tinie replenished.
He remained in our service till about
1826 or 1827, a short time after Mr. Jef-
ferson’s death, when Mrs. Randolph was
about to quit Monticello, being destitute
of means to keep it. A relative of her
family was in Philadelphia on business
and in his hotel he mentioned that on a
certain day just in time for him to get to
Charlottesville, Monticello would be
sold. Five gentlemen who happened to
hear this speech had a consultation,
came to the Virginian, and asked what
figure the house and grounds would
probably bring. “It will be sold,” said
the relative, “for $3,000 to satisfy a cred-
itor who will gladly let it go for that on
account of his consideration for the fam-
ily for we hope to buy it in.” The five
Philadelphians at once handed the Vir-
ginian $3,000. “Give it,” they said,
“annonymously to Jefferson’s daughter.
It is from five men who honor his mem-
ory too highly to permit his home to go
out of the family.
The Virginian was a kind-hearted
but loquacious fellow. is wholenature
was stirred with this good news. In
the stage coach that night, between
Philadelphia and Washington, the
home keeping-youth betrayed his home-
Iy wits. He told everybody of how his
“iC'ousin Martha” was to have Monticel-
lo for the rest of her days; that he had
the check for the amount in a Philadel-
phia bank. He treated everybody to
old rye whiskey on the strength of it
when he reached his nextstopping place:
But there he lingered.like other mighti-
er men, too heavy with slumber to go on
when the buglesounded. His potations
cost him a day’s delay. But the other
passengers were not belated. Among
them was a handsome, stalwart, . young-
1sh man with Hebrew features.
‘When the Virginia relative arrived in
Charlottesville a week later he went in
haste to the pressing creditor. “Here,”
he said, “is your $3,000, old man, and
Cousin Martha and the children have
got Montie llo.”” “Monticello,” said the
creditor, “was bought yesterday at 12
o’clock by a Northern gentleman, who
had seen the advertisement of the sale in
&« Washington paper. It was not my
fault. T'd have gone under to-day if I
hadn’t let him have it at my advertised
price.”” The Virginian went out dazed
—he went to the hotel, he found the
Jew, and asked what he would take for
Jefferson's homestead. “One hundred
thousand dollars,” said he who had out-
witted the Rothschilds. “Mein fren
you are a glever feller, Lut you talk too
much.”
Well, as Jefferson himself has said,
there is nothing so foolish as impotent
rage. The beloved Monticello passed
into the hands of Commodore Levy, and
Martha Randolph and her children en-
tered it once more only in their lifetime.
The old rogue was a good-natured crea-
ture. He kept the house and grounds
immaculate. Jefferson’s belongings
were sacred from profane touch. As
each year the gravevard gate was open-
ed to receive some member of the fast-
decaying race his sable coach and dri-
ver followed the last of all mourners in
the rear. His rejected wreaths he
would return to the humble mounds
when the family had driven down the
winding mountain rond. The year of
Lis death he wrote a note to Martha
Randolph, and said to her that in her
declining years she might feel, perhaps,
less bitterly. “Weculd she anc her re-
maining daughters come to the house
and spend the day on Jefferson’s birth-
day—that he himself would not intrude
upon them?”
“I must see it before T die,” said the
old woman, andat 9 o'clock that spring
morning they entered the grounds. All
was unchanged as they drove to the ter-
raced box walk in front of the house-
They entered and every chair, every
table was in its place. All the rooms
were opened, all the books were on
their accustomed shelves on the walls.
At the dinner hour respectful servants
announced that the meal would
now be served. They ate in peace and
not till they had seen the sunset from
Jefferson’s own window in his office,
did they depart. Then for the first time
“hey saw their host, who with bared
head handed them into the carnage.
After that Mrs. Randolph's family let
by-gones be by-gones, and the old com-
modore was accepted at gentlemen's
dinners and clubs, not, however, freely
among the women of the upper class,
IBut there came a day when he re-
ceived a letter that sent him frightened
and without stopping for wind or weath-
er, a brighter sky, or more propitious
auspices. It was signed by about five
EIN 1 0
hundred citizens, and it informed
“Abram (or Isaac, 1 forgot which)
Levy that if he did not quit “Albermarle
within twelve hours they wonld tar and
feather him.’’ © Tt was all on, account ot
Eliza, his own pretty, dark-eyed niece,
who had come with her mother, his
widowed sister, to live with him, a with
whom he fell in love, went with her ov-
er the border and married her, for all
the world as did the Duke of Aosta, rec-
ords of whose splendid wedding we re-
velled in last spring, with his sister Clo-
tilde’s lovely daughter. Ie went to
New York, afraid to return.
He was seventy-two or five, when
he died, and when his will was opened
th> old French proverb proved true,
“On revient a ses premiers amouss.”
He left Monticello, the real love of his
life, to the State of Virginia, with the
one condition that it become a home of
United States soldiers of the rank
Major in the army and paymaster in
the navy. But that was a gift Virginia
was not at that time (1864) willing to
accept. She declined the legacy ; it fell
to the General Government. But Un-
cle Sam did not care to place his broken
down officers in a hostile country. The
property reverted to Levy's heirs, and af-
ter six or ten years of neglect a young
Lieutenant in the United States navy,
calling himself Levy, but pronouncin
it Levvy, announced himself ‘he neph-

stopped and began to point ahead, chat-
tering and gesticulating. Looking the
immense boa constrictor waving his head
to and fro, with his scales glittering in
the sun. My friend said: “Get back,
quick, he is preparing to jump!” and we
did so as fast as possible. = After consult-
ing ‘a few moments, the Malays cea-
tiously advanced with a lasso, which,
by a dexterous throw, caught the snake
around the neck, and, jumping behind
a tree, tightened it on hii. He thrash-
ed and he pulled, and it was all the four
Malays coulddo to keep from being
drawn near enough for him to crush
them, and once or twice it seemed as
though’ he would get them. We could
have shot him at first, but they wanted
to capture him alive. After awhile, by
pulling and choking him, he gave up,
ard they pulled him down from the tree.
He was a big fellow, twenty feet long
and very large around. They have
great strength, and this one, [I was as-
sured, could swallow a goat or calf, He
was looking, probably, for leopards,
that are plenty there, living principally
on ;monkeys, and the snakes also catch
them when they can, but usually the
‘monkey is cleverer than the snake.
They sometimes gatherin big bands and |
club them to death. By this time we
were so hot and tired that we concluded
to let the monkeys rest, although we
could hear them chattering and jump-
ing not so very far ahead of us, so we
turned back to our horses with our cool-
ies carrying our trophy. The Malays
made. a cage very quickly, cutting
lengths of bamboo and notching them
together, into which they put the snake,
and, swinging it on two poles, marched
off with it” on their shoulders.— Forest

AN ACCOMMODATING Boss.—A gang
of men were at work on a city street,
when a slight, beardless youth laid
down his pick, and, approaching the
foreman, said to him:
“Can I take a fit, sir?”
“Take what ?’" asked the foreman.
“A fit—1 feel one coming on,” re-
plied the young man, without emotion.
“Why, certainly,” said the foreman.
So the young man walked over to a
bit of grass under a leafy tree—it was a
new street in the suburbs—and had a fit.
Then he went and washed his face,
came back to bis place in the line, took
up his pick and struck into work. Af-
ter the day’s work was over the young
man said to the foreman :
“You don't mind my having fits 2’
“No—I guess not if you do a fair
day’s work.”
“Well, you see I used to work for a
butcher an’ he wouldn't let me take fits
—said 1t interfered with business—an’ I
thought you might feel the same way
about it.”
And the young man works hard with
pick and shovel and takes a fit once in
a whileas you or I might take a drink
of water.— Pittsburg Dispatch.
ON Dress PARADE.—A friend in
Wisconsin tells me of an amusing inci-
dent he noticed in the woods up there.
Himself and a companion were riding
along together, when there suddenly
stepped into the road ahead of them a
littie army of skunks—one old skunk
and five half-grown kittens. These
seemed perfectly fearless, and, halting
by the wayside, the gentleman's compan-
ion began firing at them with a six-
shooter, although he did not hit any of
them. At the sound of every shot the
skunks, which had marshaled themselves
into perfect line, threw up their tails in
perfect unison, as straight and stiff as a
ramrod, above their backs, making no
further hogtile demonstration, and sim-
ply standing at a ready until their fear
had partly subsided. They repeated
this maneuver a dozen times, and my in-
formant says the total effect was funny
in the extreme.— Forest and Stream

will soon grow apparent. There should
also be in each bedroom a place for sheets
and pillow-cases. And what better
place than the wash-stand drawer for
the hand towels, bath towels, wash

In the dining room will be some

hand towels, dish towels, and pieces of
‘cloth in the kitchen—the pieces laid in
some nook for the many uses that neat-

ble linen makes excellent dish towels.
Old pieces of white flannel and merino
are good for wash-cloths. Don’t throw
buttons in the rag-bag; cut them off
and use them again. Never throw rags
or old handkerchiefs into the fire. If
not fit for use as old clothes, put them
into the rag-bag and sell as rags, no
matter if the price is but one cent a
pound; it amounts to something in
the course of a year.
Besides the rag-bag, have bags for pie-

What One Woman Did.
“If my husband had taken my ad-
vice,” said a woman to the writer not
long since, “he would have been a rich
man. About twenty-five years ago he
had quite a large sum of money to in-
vest, and I wanted him to put it into
land in the suburbs that was then com-
ing into the market and could be bought
for a very low sum, I urged the invest-
ment, but was only pooh phooed at, and
told very loftily that women knew noth-
ing about business, and that he had al-
ready made his plans for investing. Of
course I said no more; what was there
to say when I had virtually been bid-
den to hold my tongue? The invest-
ment was made and never amounted to
anything. My husband didn’t even get
back as much as he putin, letting alone
any profit. The land I wanted him to
buy jumped right up in value, and
sold at last at seventy-five cents a foot.
I said nothing about his own investment.
I never even referred to it, and you may
be sure very little was said to me, but I
knew all about it. Yet I took great
delight in innocently quoting every rise
in land in the vicinity of the place where
I wanted him to buy. But the funny
part os it is, this didn’t convince him.
He talked as loudly as ever about wo-
men’s inability to do business, and at |
the same time kept on making invest-
ments that didn’t pay.
I said nothing, but IT managed my own
little property myself, just as I thought
best. It wasn’t very much to begin
with, but by careful investments and by
watching the markets, so as to know
when to buy and when to sell, I've got
enough to be perfectly independent of
circumstances 1f my husband were taken
away and all his property lost. And
still women don’t know anything about
business. Don’t they? I'll put my
own ability against any man I know. I
can’t put my finger on one that could
have managed better than I have done.
And I haven't neglected my home or
my family either. I have been a do-
mestic woman and a business woman,
although in this latter capacity I have
been very quiet ; but what 1 have done
bas told all the same. My husband
doesn’t know how succeseful I have
been. He watches my proceedings with
a patronizing sort of amusement, evi-
dently thinking that he is a very indul-
gent man to let me do what I please
with my own. Someday I'll astonish
him though; see if L don’t.” With
which terrible threat she nodded a good-
by and left the Louse to go and look
after a piece of property which she
heard was to be sold ata bargain.—

He DesERVED IT.—¢I don’t know,”
said St. Peter, shaking his head dubious
ly. “I don’t know. You look as if
you had been dissipating—all the but-
tons off your shirt, your coat all frayed
at the wrists, your collar unironed—no,
I'm afraid I'll have to put you on the
elevator when it isjgoing down.”
“But St. Peter—"
“Well?”
“I married a woman with a mission.”
“You did?
“Yes, sir.”

in. The gate’'s wide open forsuch as
you.)

He TURNED OUT To BE A PoriTi-
cIAN.—It is very hard to understand
the boys. A great many years ago a
resident of Portland had ‘a soa who
showed no special aptitude for business,
and he was puzzled what to do with
him. He concluded to try an experi-
ment, so he locked the boy up in a room
where there were only a Bible, a dollar
and an apple. A few minutes later he
stole quietly to the room. He made up
his mind that if he found the boy eating
the apple he would make a good farmer.
If he were reading the Bible he should
be trained for the pulpit, and if he had
taken the money his success as a broker,
the father thought, was assured. Upon
entering the room he found the boy sit-
ting upon the Bible eating the apple,
with the dollar in his pocket. That boy
is now a county politician.
