THE POPE'S GIFT.
Fished from the Bottom of the
Potomac After Forty Years.

thief among1 the curiosities recovered
from the Washington channel is a pe
t uliar slab or stoue. which, if aoiue of
the old residents who have Wncon
sulted on the subject are not badly mis
taken, is a find of real value and in
terest in connection with the early his
tory of the city, says the Washington
l'ost.
It was several days afro that the find
,-eurred. Iiver Harry Edwards was
down on his third trip in the morning,
s.ud was nuidintf the nozzle of the lartfe
suction hose that is used in tcaiiutf up
the soft lmttotii to p-ive the workmen
access t the foundation of the piers.
.Near the southwest corner of the abttt
i.ieut on the district side he encountered
the corner of a piece of lartfe dressed
stone, which he at first thought was
of the masonry of the pier which
hail lecome detached and fallen out.
As the dredpiup gradually brought
the whole of the rock to view- he
easily saw that the material was
not such as plebeian bridge are
made of. It wart a sharply cut
ami beautifully polished piece of
variegated marble, striated in veins of
pink anil w hite, w hich, seen through
the jrreen scintillating liffht of the
water, took on iridescent tints ad fresh
as if just turned out from the
-sculptor's hand. It was not a large
block, more like a slab alut six inches
thick and perhaps one and one-half by
three feet in surface dimensions. Hut
it was in the way of the engineering
work, and therefore, whatever it wa,
it had to get out of the way, and, stoop
ing dow n, aided by the buoyancy of the
water, Kdwards turned the stone over,
and as he did so noticed a half-effaced
inscription on one side. Feeling that
perhaps there might be something to
tho curious find, he signaled the bucket,
and, as his time below was nearly up,
ascended with the marble and had it
landed on the barge, instead of In-ing
thrown 0:1 the common scrap pile w ith
the rest of the refuse.
The matter was investigated and the
facts brought to light make it almost
certain that one of the oldest and deep
est mj-steries of Washington has been
at last cleared up.
The story is one not very widely
Uiuiwn, and it may be briefly stated as
this: Iuring the first years of work
upn the Washington monument there
were contributed from all quarters of
the glole memorial stones to be inlaid
m the inner wall of the shaft. The
crowned heads of nearly every land
were proud to contribute toward Amer
ica's memorial to the greatest hero of
modern linn's, and tablets of granite
and marble appropriately inscribed
were received by the monument
.ciety, and placed, pending their
insertion, in a long wooden
storehouse or lapidariutn near the
fixit of the shaft. Among oth
ers that were received in the winter of
1h",;i was a block of beautifully striated
marble from the pope of Koine, with
the simple inscription: "Kome to Amer
ica." meaning by that not the religious
but the political power represented by
"Rome." ltut it was in the days of the
old know-nothings, the "American
party," whose intemperate zeal did not
stop for fine distinction of definition,
and, thinking that they saw in the gift
an insidious invasion of papacy into the
land of the free and the home of the
brave, there were ominous grumblings
of wrath on the reception of the gift by
the authorities at Washington. I5ut,
though the cloud lowered, it did not
"burst.
The hard winter of ISM passed and it
w-as late in j!he spring of 154 when the
work on the monument was once more
Wgnn. The morning of March 5 of
that year the city was electrified to
learn that the night before an unknown
band of vigilantes had broken into the
stone shed at the foot of the monument
anil that the pope's gift to the struc
ture was missing. ISut what lusd )e
come of it no one knew. There was
always a watchman stationed in the
ground around the monument, and with
him was a good watch dog, but the
iiiiirniiilinr, rfiet, Vi.i.t lio.l t)n!n nl. m

well, and the dog had been poisoneil, l
while the watchman was imprisoned in
his box by a rope passed around the
outside of the doors and windows, thus
preventing him from even catching a
glimpse of the party who secured him.
I n the morning the shed was open and
the stone was gone. That was all that
was known, and up to a few days ago
all that was ever known.
PRICES IN MONTE CARLO.
Kriuarkalile limtnuir of thai Ir'.xtortlon of
Its llotelkeeper.
Frequent complaints have been made
of late of the conscienceless extortion
practiced upon foreigners by the hotel
keepers of the Riviera, who are appar
ently doing their best to kill the goose
that has laid them so many golden
eggs. An incident reported by the cor
respondent of the London Times at
Nice seems to prove that it costs even
more ti die at Monte Carlo than it does
to live there. It appears that a short
time ago a well-known Englishman was
taken ill and died of dropsy at one of
the hotels, and his wife, who is a mem
ber of the English nobility, decided to
take the Inxly to England for burial.
I' pon inquiring as to the cost of this,
she was informed that "it would be nec
essary to embalm the liody, and that,
with the railway charges for transport,
the expense would amount to over foui
hundred pounds. There were certain
fixed charges made by the principality
of Monaco, said the doetor and under
taker, which must 1h paid, and this was
the lowest possible estimate. This
amount it must be remeniWred was ex
clusive of hotel charges or doctors fees
for attendance upon the patient; it was
simply for embalming, for the cost of
the coftin and its accessories and for
transport to London. An appeal was
made to Itaron de Karincourt, the gov
ernor general of Monaco, who declared
that no taxes whatever were levied upon
foreigners, dead or alive, by the princi
pality. The bill was reduced finally by
nearly one-half, but the whole subject
is to be brought to the attention of the
British foreign ofiiee.
Thw Mlcrob of Kll.
Dr. LombruM has written a paper in
which he demonstrates that there is a
peculiar magnetism in crowds which
renders them open to suggestions of
crime and violence, and explains most
revolutionary crimes as committed by
people in a more or less hypnotic state.
This explains why some of the worst
horror have not been the work of hab
itual criminals. -. He quotes another au
thority to prove that "a crowd is a soil
l which the microti? of evil develops
easily, and the microlxa of good dies
almost always for want of favorable
conditions," and that in a crowd
the good elements are eliminated
and the bail multiplied by a mathe
matically unerring law. This is "partly
due to the want of moral courage men
being ashamed to show their better
feelings partly to real hypnotic sug
gestion, which in this article is made to
do duty to an extraordinary extent as
it is supposed to explain even the fact
that a pupil learns faster from a favor

Dear Mrs. Pinkham :
"If any one wants to know
how ood your medicine is, just
refer them to me.
" I was so luw, people thought
I never couk! get well again.
'The trouble was in my
womb, causing bearing-down
and severe backache. I. was so
nervous and irritable my people
could hardly live with me.
Sometimes I would almost fall
down, I was so dizzy, and how
I did lie awake nights ! I
thought 1 should go crazy !
"But now all that is changed,
and I am a well woman. I owe
all to LydiaE. Pinkham's Vege

do not feel just right, I take a
bottle of your
medicine and a
box of your pills,
and they never
fail me."

HALLS hair
The great popularity of this preparation,
after its test of many years, should be an
.uMuranre, even to the most Hkcptiral, that
It 1 really meritorious. Those who have
used Hall's Hair Uexf.wek kuow that
It does all that is claimed.
It causes new growth of hair on bald
beads provided the hair follicles are not
dead, which is seldom the case; restore
natural color to jrray or faded hair: pre
serves the scalp healthful and clear of
dandruff; prevents the hair falling off or
changing color; keeps it soft, pliant, lus
trous, aud causes it to grow long and
thick.
Hall's ITair Rf.nkwfr produces Its
effects by the healthful influence of its
vegetable injrredit-ut, which invigorate
and rejuvenate. It is not a dye, and u
a delightful article for toilet use. Con
taining no alcohol, it does not evap
orate quickly and dry up the natural oil,
leaving the hair harsh and brittle, aa da
other preparations.

A notatile chanr has taken place ia
Enp tih hanking cinies within few
years. Formerly the lialanceslieet of a
private tiank was an unknown thing' to
the puiilio. and the exhibition of one
wouM have ln--n reifanied as a siTl )f
wrakmss. Sum? heavy failures of pri
vate tiankers tthowiiif? unsatisfactory

eiass if tinan-iers. and they bepan to
set the mistake of keeping' their busi

and since then the practice has frrad
ually Ih-coiih peneral, so that a recent
iiciulicr if the Economist, in its review

t' s!iov tiiat these banks are in a very
s mm! t-oniiition. which. f course, nut-t
tt-nd to cniar,;. their business. Private
banks d nut till so larjre a space in the
titiaiii'iul v.trld in this country as in
Enr'and. but they nevertheless do a
vcrv laive business, and some f them
are l.iio is the world over by their ex

that a balance sheet was expected

annually intrusts immense sums to pri

MUSCLES Or THE JAW.
They t'au lie I--l-il to fa Very lllli
I 4?aTrrr.
A rery ciiiinis nuestion lias recently
been answered by l'rof. Karl Sauer. one
of Iterliu's most prominent dentists, in
the following; manner, says a writer iu
the St. Leiis I'or t llispatch.
"The various circus performances of
iron jaw development, whereby a man
ha!tir:nr l'roin a ti ape.c holds another by
a strap between hi.s teeth, denotes such
11 jnwii iu! strength of the mttn-lfs uf
tin- j.i'.is and ueck that to a layman
siieii a feat seems little short of a mira
el". "!!nt this demonstrates only to what
e'. id the strength of the muscles of
t ie j.iw can lie developed by eorre
t.ji. i:. Iin exercise. It is not as dirlicult
ie. it M i nis tu tinil out the average or
dinary jowt of these muscles.
. llat steel or iron baud pierced at
the end v. ilh two holes through w hich
a piece of w ire can lie pulled serves for
this purpise. The band is laid across
the teeth of the lower jaw as far back
as the corners of the mouth w ill permit.
The weights are attached to the wire,
and must touch the floor or table when
the mouth is h.-ld open. The wires are
taut, and the Tyii making the exper
iment must stand ierfectly erect.
""I found more than twenty years ago,
while making a similar test, that the
average weight which can Ik pulled up
with the jaw. so that the lips will close,
is fifty pounds, l'crsons who eat coarse
f.l. hard, dry bread, etc., or those in
the habit of cracking; nuts with the
teeth, acquire greater strength of the
jaw than gourmand, who mince deli
cately prepared dishes."
A SNOBBISH EQUIPAGE.
The Ititg (art and Its weaai lielona;
liiara. rf all the snobbish equipages of the
snobbish rich the muht snobbish is one
of those hig;h carts, with the half of the
seat upon w hich the driver sits fully a
foot higher than the other half of the
seat, and thus laden, says the Itoston
Transeript: I'pou the high seat, driv
ing a snobbish young lady, in a t?or
geous snobbish pink driving gown, snol
bishly putfed up at the shoulders; upon
the other half of the seat a snobbish
Voting gentleman conversing snobbish
ly with the young lady, lie sits so
much lower than she that his shoulders
are aiout on a level with her licit, and
he has to l.Mik up sddewise with a most
painful, grotesque stretehiug of his
neck. The young laily now and then
loiiks down upon him. smiling in her
snobbishly sujierior way. The sjecta
cle is so genuinely grotesque that all the
people on the street are on an involun
tary broad grin, not snobbish, as th.-y
h)ok at the foolish-looking young man,
so high up in the air and yet so low
down as regards the young lady. The
horse wears a snobbish brass-mounted
harness, with a little ring tinkling
snobbishly somew here at the front of it.
The animal's tail is snobbishly banged.
The young lady urges him on at a ma
jestic gait. The low-down young man
still 'cranes his neck upward, grimac
ing. The young lady In-aiiis down from
lu-r height, grimacing. The dog-cart
rollson down the road. It isallexquis
itelysnobbish, pitiably ridiculous.
SWINDLING IS UNIVERSAL.
ltut It C.eneralljr eta Its CompcDistlou
in Its Own Coin.
I'afh season has its peculiar swindles
too numerous to mention. In summer
the iceman, who is vorv far from being1
a nice man, reaps his little harvest.
The iceman's bills even in July or
August, may be called a cold steal. In
w inter the pluml-cr challenges our ad
miration. Strict, honest and square
dealing is not obtained even in the ad
ministration of justice. A colored gen
tleman who adhered too closely to a
valuable dog, on which he had not even
a mortgage or builder's lien, pot two
years at Sing Sing, while the average
lxodle alderman (rets anew trial, or an
acquittal. The man who steuls a dol
lar is called a thief, while the man who
feloniously absorbs a million is called a
brilliant linaneier; and so he is but he
is s inultaueously a thief, all the same.
However, there are compensations.
For instance.the alderman w ho boodles
in turn is severely 1 mod led by the legal
gentlemen who attended to his (the
Ixrudlcr's) vindication. The merchant
who lines his clerks and otherwise
robs them, is victimized by the fashion
able female kleptomaniac, who has
such taking ways. The American exile
in t 'anada has to pay a quarter for a
drink of whisky. The wealthy coal
dealer or the Wall-street broker inad
vertently visits a church fair, and
when he comes out he feels as bad s if
h hail liecn interviewed by the Pull
man car irtcr. As a lotdler, he is the

ECHOES OF LONDON TOWN.
An exhibition called the "Magic
Maze of Mirrors" has sprung1 up in Lon
don. As the visitor enters the door he
sees a crowd beckoning him from a hun
dred different angles an effect pro
duced by one sluiTisl image.
A trainkd terrier, with a light cord
attached to his neck, runs through un

to another, in London streets. Thus
electric wires are safely and hurriedly
drawn from station to station.
