I had been sojourning in Paris for some time, and became anxious lor new sights and scenes, so I took passage on a small vessel at Havre bound for a pleasure . excursion in the Mediterranean. This vessel was English build, being in fact one of the largest class ot pleasure yacnis. Her late owner was a wealthy but dissolute young noble, who had built and luxuriously fitted up the Belle, as he called ner, for his own use. Coming over to Havre he left her in charge of the captain and re paired to Paris, where he plunged into every species of dissipation. Before many weeks had elapsed he a mm 1 m fell into the hands of several of his countrymen, who were protessional gamblers and blactleg?, aitnougn their real character was disguised by the most fastidious dress and the most scrupulous deportment. From this- point the ftury of poor Lord C is that of hundreds of others. The conspiracy that these sharks formed to plunder him was perfectly successful, and he lost more at the iraminz tabic than his estate would yield for a whole life time. Ala J with bi9 Hl-lortune, as ue un suspectincl v thought it, he offered to put up the "Belle" agawstnve tm- gand pounds. It was done, and he lost it would have been impossible for him to wid. Tossing off a turn bier of raw brandy he rushed from the place, and was not seen again for two days, when his body was found among the drowned at the Morgue. The scoundrels who now owned the yacht were glad to get rid of her before the'affair become too public, and therefore onered ner lor sale at two thousands pounds. X had seen the vessel at Havre and taken a great fancy to her, and knowing that she was richlv worth five times the earn demanded I con ceived a plan for forming a little stock company of a few ol the wealthy Americans then sojourning in Paris, and nurchasad her particu- arly with a view of making a pleas ure excursion in tne aieaiierranean. The project worked to a charm ; the shares were taken, and the new owners of the Belle set about making their preparations for a six months' cruise along the shores of the great est sea, which with me was a long cherished plan. But we experienced some trouble before our voyage began. The cap tain of the yacht made his appear ance in Paris with the unwelcome news that his crew had deserted to a man, being dissatisfied with the pro posed voyage, and that he feared he should not be able to ship another. The difficulty was at length reme died by the kind assistance . cf the American consul, and a dozen men were procured lor tne vovage. ine business of attending to this impor tant affair was by unanimous con sent intrusted to me, and as my fel- ow-voyaeers were in ignorance of the character of the crew, they were not troubled with the anxieties that be set me about them. As is generally the case, able seamen were not to be picked up in a foreign port, nor could we obtain either English or Americans : Of the twelve that we hipped at Havre, seven were French, two Portugese, two Spanish, and one a mulatto from the West Indies. They were all an ill-favored, rascal- y-looking set ; but tne muUtto was certainly the most brutal, ferocious appearing human being that my eyes ever beheld, lie was quite seven feet high, long-limbed, broad crested, and strong as a horse. His coarse features were usually as heavy and sullen as those of an idiot, but occasionally a gleam of intelligence shot across them that made him look almost fiendish. After completing their shipment, the consul took me aside and said, very seriously : ow, sir, after helping you get this crew, I am free to give you a piece of advice donx sail with them unless you have a captain who knows bow to enforce discipline and compel obedience." 1 11 answer for him, was my re ply. ''Ross Cryder is as brave as a ion and not alraia ot anyining in the shape of a man. I knew him in command of a Liverpool liner one before he met - Lord C . he'll do I know." "Well, I'm glad of that," said the consul, drawing a long breath. Tell him for me the only members of his crew that I really know any thing against are the two Portugese and the darkest Spaniard. They have been in the galleys. I suspect that little Frenchman of being a spy for a secret order of assassins at Rome, but I'm cot certain. The captain will see for himself that the mulatto wants watching ; his face is a continual warning. ESTABLISHED, 1827. PA., WEDNESDAY. APRIL 26. 1882. All our preparations were at last made, and we left Havre with a fa- vorable wind that quickly sped us across the Bay of Biscay. Icommu- nisated the (suspicions of thecoa- sul to Captain. Cryder, and found, as I expected, that he was perfectly equal to the occasion. He was kind, but prompt afd firm with his mot- ley crew ; and alter one or two col- lisions with (the more unruly of them, which ended in their getting into irons for Iwenty-four hours, the crew seemed to be subdued and or derly. But I could see the captain never relaxed his vigilance, and I resolved I would second him with my eyes and ears to the utmost Aside froni there misgivings, the voyage was a most delightful one. The weather was mild, the sea smooth s,the wind exactly in the right direction; and we were running rap idly down the coast of Portugal The passengers , numbered twenty, including ine servants ten oemg men, three ladies, the wives of! sjine of the owners, and three! children, time with We whiled away the reading, w.ist playing and music, and I spent much of it uwn, vuuttiiig auu tujuj iujj iuc uj - 1 must explain nere mat tne cab- in and saloon which we occupied in the latter part of the yacht com municated with the deck by means of a narrow stairway, hardly wide enough for two to pass. One night about eleven, after all the other passengers bad retired, I had been walking the after deck with the enptain, enjoying a quiet eijar. The moon shone brightly, and the scene was so captivating that 1 lingered on deck to observe it after I had biddden the captain good night. I sat down between one of the small boats and the railing, and watcned the cloudless heavens, the distant shore, and the long swell of the sun, illuminated by a broad pathway of light I could see the vigilant captain pacing the deck from me : and the sailors from this wetch I bad 6een some minutes be fore about the forward ladder. The sound of subdned voices from the other side of the boat talking hur riedly in French. My heart almost stopped its motion as these words came into my ears : 1 might shoot him irom hre "Nav, you fool ; the report would rouse them below, and they might come and give us-trouble. But they are not armed Half of them have pistols, and that American with the beard (my self) has one of those toys of the friends. What do vou call it? six pistols in one. And he alwavs car ries it about with him, too. Look out for him." "Well, but" "Listen ! Go you back and serve out the biSnidx ta the men ; don't spare it. t'it go forward and guard the head of the stairs. Presantly the captain may the fiend seize him for those handcuffs he clapped on me Tuesday! will see and come to order me forward. Then " "But the hem?" "Don't you see he's lashed it ? The course is a straight one all night He comis to order me forward, and I'll knife him. Right through his heart, Jacques ha I Then I yell, for a sisinal. You hurry forward with the ft Hows, and we have the deck. As the milords come by, we seize them and throw them astern. Ha, ha ! bat that will be fine." And the women and children?" "Oh, they'll fare as it happens. Send them over, too. But there is Gomer and the mulatto ; they are impatient Go then, quickly, and fire them with the brand y, and be ready to rush aft at my signal." Crouching close to the side of the boat to avoid discovery, I heard the sound of stealthy ftet departing. Perhaps two minutes elapsed, and then the figure ol the little French man whom the consul had suspect ed of being the spy of a secret order, stole aft to the stairway with a stealthy step. My heart gave a great bound, for I knew the work that I must now do. Thank heaven, I was pre pared ! I drew my revolver from my pocket, cocked it, and bent my eye on the Frenchman. He stood lean ing carelt-sfcly on the baluster that in. closed the head ot the stair, but he was really watching the captain in tently. His back was turned to me, so that I remained undiscovered. The captain turned about in his walk, and saw him standing there. Who's that?" he sharply de manded, approaching him. The man made no answer. "Pierre." said the captain, walk ing rapidly towards him, and recog nizing him. "What's wanted ?" The man placed his hand Denina him, and from the back of his jacket he half drew a long, slender knife only half drew it, for a bullet from my pistol struck him in the neck, and he fell dead down stairs. The captain Ftarted back at the report, and his own revolver wa3 in stantly in his hand. With a spring I was at his side. Mutiny?" hewhispered, compre hending the situation at once. Yes," I replied ; and nere iney come! "Stealy!" said the brave fellow.' "Don't miss a man. Well fire by turns. There! tane that!" A swarm of fizures now came rush ing aft, headed by the mulatto, tow ering head and s'houlders above the others, rnd brandishinga huge knife. At the captain s first shot ne tnrew up his arms and fell at full length over the rail, where his great body hung quivering an instant, and then fell with a loud splash into the Bea. I fired again and broEe the arm of another of the ruffians, who ran for ward howling with pain. The rest stopped, dismayed at the unexpect ed and bloody "reception, '"Let 'em have it now, both together!" Cryder shouted. We each fired twice more, the shots killing three more outright, and wounding another, when the mutin eers beat a hasty tetreat forward. "Throw down your knives!" the captain cried, following them up sharply, and covering the netcst one with his pistol I kept cko at his side, taking good aim at anoth er. -Throw down your knives ancj ' beg for mercy, or we'll kill every one of you !" ! And they did it. They had seen j j enough in the last five minutes to i satisfy them that we would do just ' j as we threatened, and the five who were left unhurt fell on their knees, threw away their knives and begged for their lives in a babel of different tongues. Cryder had three shots left and I had two, so that the fel lows were really at our mercy. By this time our friends came pourins up from below, half dressed, but most of them armed. The captain gave them a few di rections, and then part of them rent after ropes and shackles, while he and I, kept the niutiners covered with our pistols. In a few moments they were all securely roped and ironed, including the two wounded Men. One of the latter died before daylight, so that iust one-half of the scoundrels were destroyed in their at temp, to take the yacht. ith the help of three of us who knew something of navigation, the tne captain ran into Lisbon before neon, where our prisoners were hand- ed over to the authorities. We had , wc ouusiiia;muii ui Bering mem CI1U111- lore we put to sea again One of them confessed that the conspiracy was matured before we left Havre, and that their object was to engage in smuggling in the Med iterranean. The plot was well con ceived and attempted by desperate men ; and for the accident of my presence under the boat when the execution of it began, there can be no doubt that we should have been murdered and the vessel seized. Captain Cryder was never weary of praising my coolness and nerve, although he was certainly entitled to equal praise; and so our fellow passengers thought for after present ing me with a service of plate, thev made up a purse of a thousand dol lars for him. We remained at Lisbon long enough to secure a reliable crew ; and the voyage that followed, though filled with accidents, had nothing of this character of adven ture. How Greenbacks are Made. Xone of the public institutions of the capital has the fascination of the Bureau of Printing and Engraving. It is here where greenbacds the prettiest and the finest money in the world are made. When you en ter the Bureau you are politely bow ed to a sitting room, where vou reg ister your name aud occupation, if you have any. Jn a lew minutes a guide comes and calls: "This way, please." Every morning a heavy box of a vehicle looking like a huge iron safe on wheels, trundles from the Treasury over to the Bureau, bring ing the paper destined to return as money. Every one of these myriad sheets is counted at the Treasury and charged to the Bureau. Every one must be return in perfect money or even if spoiled by some unlucky accident The careful account thus begun continues through the many handlings of that precious paper, guarding every avenue of fraud, making every human being who touches it honest as the conductor's bell-punch is honest, because it is impossible to be otherwise. In a room on the first floor are the engravers, about a score of them bending nnder mellow, milk white shades, patiently putting features, expression, grace rnd language into the resisting eteel. On the walls hang Borne rare specimens of their cunning. A hnished money plate is a work of art, and would cost about $1,500. The government pays skilled engravers so well that coun terfeiting loses much of its charm. The great vaults in this room hold the plates, and there they rest every night. Tie locks are set so that they cannot be opened until seven o'clock every morning, and then only by the presence and aid of three officials, each with a different key. Up stairs we see the plates in use on a hundred engraver s presses. The men run the presses while the girls lay the paper in place and take it away with tne clear impression on t as it smokes from the heat neces sary in the process The pressmen are paid by the piece, and some of them acquire a wonderful dexterity. They are required to pay the giris 81.2-1 a day out of their wages, but saw one who had S-.oO left for himself on an average day's work. Every turn of the lever on the press registers, and at the day's close each pressman has to account for every sheet he has handled. The money is printed from bills on the sheet. After being number ed and receiving the seal it goes to another room, where it is counted again and placed in a drying ma chine, very much like a patent peach dryer. When thoroughly dry the sheets of four bills each are put un der a pressure of six or eight tons, and this gives a new bill its inde pendent stiffness, so that it wants to get right out of your pocket The bills are then severed and done up in packages of one thousand each. These are carried to a room where the final count takes place. All the best counters are women. Most of them are paid by the num ber, and some of them have fingers of wonderful limberness. One wo man is pointed out to everybody. She has a national reputation. She can count a thousand bills in six minutes, the fastest time on record, anc in all the millions she has count ed has never made a single mistake! When the money is finally counted it goes to the vaults and thence to the treasury.

METHODS OP IXSTRUCTIOX. BV A. C HoLHKRT. CHAPTER II. In my first chapter I have said "make necessary rules;" a few sug gestions may not be out of place. You want your pupils too see that it is a duty which they owe to them selves, to their parents, to you. and God to improve their time. When they have once seen this mutter clearly, three suggestions in the way of what some call special regula tions will be sufficient, and thoso suggestions will be mainly of a pro hibitory character, their design be ing to aid the pupils in their study to be quiet 1. Do not study aloud. . 2. .Endeavor to cultivate the hab it of studying without moving the lips. Many pupils deem such a thing impossible. Show them that some persons when writing are in the habit of moving their lips and making various contortions of the face, but as they become expert pen men they abandon such an absurd , J" 't Show them, clearly, that a person does not move his , lips in study he can do more work, and do it in a better manner. 3. Do not shuffle the feet on the floor, nor strike them against the sides of the desks in leaving or in resuming seats. 4. Walk carefully; not on tip-toe but raise the feet clear of the floor, and plant them carefully and firmly. 5. Do not sharpen elate pencils or lead pencils on the desk. The grating sound produced by cutting a slate pencil on a desk will disturb a whole school. Have those things attended to at recess. G. Do not bring unnecessary ar ticles or playthings to school. Any country school teacher will see the propriety of this regulation. A boy 's pocket is proverbially a cornucopia of nondescript articles, from a ''fish ing worm" to a pistol; and a girl's pocket is fully equal to it 7. Do not "spit" on the floor. Do not do this yourself and do not per mit your pupils to do so. Discour age the use of tobacco by your pu pils. I verily believe the use of to bacco is the cause of much of the abuse of intoxicating drinks in this country. Tobacco creates a dryness of the" fauces or upper part of the throat, and thus creates a thirst that waer will not quench. The records of the colleges of this country will show that no one who used tobacco has ever been graduated with "first honors." A startling record! 8. Pi i not call the attention-of the teacher unnecessarily to trifling matters. 9. D not interrupt the teacher while '.earing a recitation. Never permil this on any pretext whatever. 10. Do not open and close doors or windows carelessly or in such a manner as to cause noise. 11. Do not forget to bring all necessary articles to schcol with you, Biich as books, slates, &c Treat such carelessness as a vice. What is memory worth if it does not come to hand in the daily business of life? 12. Do not forget where the les son is. Another vice, 13. Pay strict attention to all in structions. Not to do so is a personal affront to the teacher. 14. Never ask for a repetition of the question. Some pupils get into the habit of asking a repetition through the carelessness of the teacher. Give them to understand that a question will be put once, and never repeated on any account 15. Never answer unless called upon to do so. These rules or regulations might be extended to double the number I have given, but I deem them suffi ciently numerous, and the compe tent teacher will readily extend or shorten the list, as his individual needs may demand. It is not my object to dictate, but to suggest for the benefit of the inexperienced. PqdiIs also owe certain duties to the school property, which should be made familiar to ttem. Thia a better done by suggestions than by mntinrr TwisitivA rwtllatinns 11 OOn the subject Each pupil should be taught that the school property is his property. If it be of such a de scription as to be a credit to the community in which it is located, or a disgrace to any community, the pride or the shame elong in part to him. Hence, he should consider any defacement of the school prop erty as a personal affront There is, moreover, a law in Pennsylvania which makes defacing public prop erty a misdemeanor, punishable by fine and imprisonment. A lair rep resentation of the facti in the mat ter will usually have the enect ot rendering pupils particular in this regard. Teach your pupils how to study. Much honest effort is wasted simply because it is misapplied. I can re member during mv school days les sons that seemed difficult, and were so, to me, simply because my teach er did not give me any hint as to the method of study. Shortly after I began the study of Latin I was at tacktd by a fever, and missed the whole five months' session at schocL After I got about I concluded tlmt I would endeavor to keep up my Latin, so that the next session ! could go on with the class. ; I was in my thirteenth year, and was using ing Bullion's Latin grammar. I com menced it, and committed every thing to memory as I went along. I learned it so that I could at once name the number and section of whatever I heard quoted; or, if I heard a number or section given, I could give the words lielonging to it. It was ft tremendous work, but I did it, and did it well. My teacher was utterly amazed when I entered the class and told him, "I do not want to waste time in the grammar les sons; I have the whole book com mitted to memory." He gave me an examination and found it true. Latin was mere child's play to me after that To-day the Latin gram- a" la- mar has iaueu irom my memory "like the forms of last yeara clouds. T never think of it I cannot recall ciallv ft difficult one, it comes un bidden. The rules. nd their num- I bers stand before me, and I apply WHOLE NO. 1607. them without thinking. Had I been a. . 1 T I J I - I airecwa property a wimm uavejiur- sued, a different course, but lam sure I would never have known the Latin grammar "by heart." Teai h your pupils how to study; let them do no useless work. Iet not their energy be misdirected. This brings me to another point which I will take up here, as it seems to belong here, as well as else where, though I shall have occasion to refer to it again and again during the course of this series of articles. There is a certain amount of men tal drudgery connected with every study. There is no way of avoiding this drudgery; it must be perform ed, aad the manner in which it is perforated will, to a great extent shape the character vi future work. You may, by proper directions, save your pupil some part of it; you cannot save him all of it The prop er age for the performance of much of this drudgery is under fourteen. The reason of this is that then the mind the memory will receive dull, dry facts, and treasure them up for future use. I am aware that many shall I add great educators dis countenance the idea of teaching anything to a child which is not thoroughly understood. I must say that I cannot agree with such a sen timent come from whom it may. I know that many things learned by me when a boy, and of which I then had no understanding, are of daily use to me in the school room. They come up unhidden from the recesses of memory. I use them, and they depart again lite the dream-conjured faces of friends long since gone. I am confident that every teacher of much experience will agree with me in this regard, and the greater his experience the greater confidence do I feel in his decision. Another point, to which I shall frequently have occasion to allude ere I close these articles, but which seems to belong properly to those preliminary chapters, is this: You cannot teach more than you know. I have heard the expression "that man can teach subjects that which he does'nt know himself." They, tome, only convey A impression that the person referred to is not thoroughly up in the matters men tioned. My word for it he can nev er make a thorough scliolar in such matters. This teaches the teacher never toundertaketoinruot a class in a lesson that he has .ut studied. The subject may be as fami'iar to you as the "face of the maidei your heart holds the dearest," tod i ex planation you will find mt ' oint leave you, and it will stnv away from you until you, by study, bring it I Dacic. I very much dislike to hear a class in any text book which I do not own, and I never permit myself to hear many recitations until I own one of eacii particular books used i 1 the school. Borrowing a yiupri s book is inconvenient, and if refer ence to ihe book becomes necessary you entail the trouble of borrowing . a a n . T on the one who loaned to you. l think this diminishes, in some cases, the 8elf-re?iance of the pupil. I know that it may engender prompt- ins. . Teach your pupils how to read, and teach them what to read. I cannot i.i -better here than to quote from Sir ia. Hamilton's lectures on logic, and I wish that every teacher in the county owned that work, and his lectures on metaphys ics, also. The proper method of reading," he remarks, "may be di vided into three clases: 1st, The quantity; 2d, rtie quality of what is to be read, and J, the mode of read ing what is to be read. I. As concerns the quantity of what is to be read, there is a single rule read much, but n-t many works. II. As concerns the quality of what is to be read, there may be given five rules. 1. Select the works of principal importance, estimated by relation to the several sciences themselves, or to your particular aim in reading, or to your individual disjsoition and wants. 2. Read not the more detailed works upon a science until you have obtained a rudimentary knowledge of it in general 3. Make yourself familiar with a science in its actual or present state fccfore you proceed to study it in its fexironological development A. To avoid erronrous and exclu sive views, read and compare to gether the more important works of entry sect and party. k To avoid a one-sided develop ment of mind, combine with the study of works which cultivate the understanding, the study of works which cultivate the taste. III. As concerns the mode or manner of reading itself, there are four principal rules. 1. Read that you may accurately remember, but still more, that you may fully understand. 2. Strive to comptsj the general tenor of a work before vou attempt to judge of it in detail 3, Accommodate the intensity of the reading to the importance ot the work. Some books are, therefore, to be only dipped into; others are to be run over rapidly; and others to be studied long and sedulously. 4. Regulate on the same principle the extracts you make from the works you read." Page 486. The above quotation said. so much better than I could hope to say it, all that I would have wished to sa. that I haye given it you in fu L There is much food for thought in it But while bn this topic I cannot refrain irom giving you one or two from other writers. Bacon says: "Read not to contra dict and confute, nor to believe and take for granted, nor to find, talk and discourse, but to weigh and con sider. Some books are to be tasted, others are to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested; that is, some books are to be read only in parts; others to be read, but not curiously; and some few to be read wholly and with diligent and at tention. Some liooks also may be read by deputy, and extracts made of them by others; but that would be only in the less important argu ments and the meaner sort of books; el M distilled books are, like com- j mnn distilled waters, flashy things." j The great historian, Johann Von i Mailer, savr. One kind of books I ' read with "great rapidity, for in the there is much drow to throw af ide, nd little gold to lie fonnd. Some, i however, are all gold and diamonds, jand he who, for example, in Taci tus, can read mora than twenty j pages in four lours, certainly 'J-jc? net understand him." j I have given you tbss thrqai i tations from master minds On thr subject ia quotation I shall add no comment of my own, for my feeble pen to attempt such a thing on the writings of the men whose names I have quoted as my authorities would be ridiculous in the extreme. Read the thoughts of those giants; make them your own; get their full mean ing; apply them in teaching your pupils. the world is reaching out iw I hands, and the cry is going up for a higher education. That cry cannot long remain unanswered. The man ifold clutches will grasp it by and by. The man who, when the chil dren ask hioi for bread, furnishes only stones, "must step down and out" Are you keeping pace with the progressive movement of the world in education-it matter-? If so, well for you wuen the day of reckoning comes. But if not, "Why stand ye here all the day idle?" "There is work in the Master's vine yard; enter in and doit, and what is right he will pay you." This no time for idleness. "The field is white for the harvest" The reapers the real reapers "are few." Make yourself one of them. With this I close my preliminary chaptera. My next shall be on spell- Tlie Writer of Kick of Age Cleft for Me." In the pleasant County of Devon, in one of its sequestered passes, with a few cottages sprinkled over it mused and sang Augustus Toplady. when a lad of sixteen, and on a vis it to Ireland, he had strolled into a barn in which an illiterate layman was preaching but preaching rec onciliation to God through the death of His Son. The homely sermon took effect, and from that moment the gospel wielded all the power or this brilliant and active mind. Du ring his last illness Augustus Top lady seemed to lie in the vestibule of glory. To a friend's inquiry he answered with.a sparkling eye: "Oh, my dear sir, I cannot tell the com forts I feel in my soul they are past expression. The foasolations of God are so abundant thai, he leaves me notSing to pray for. My pray ers are all converted into praise. I enjoy a heaven already within my soul." And within an hour of dy ing he called his friends and asked if they could give him up; and when they replied in the affirmative, tears of joy ran down his cheeks as he added, "Oh, what a blessing that you are made w illing to give me over to the hands of my dear Redeemer and part with me ; for no mortal can live after having seen the glories which God has manifested to my soul!" And thus died the writer of the beautiful hymn,"Rock of -Ages Cleft for Me. A Foolitth -Conjurer." Mouths were not made to eat fu? with. Persons who pretend to ex hibit that exploit either cheat or run the foolhardy risk of killing them selves, bays an English paper : A terrible scene took place in the market-place, Leighton Buzzard. A traveling negro fire-eater was per forming on a stand, and licking red hot iron, bending heated pokers with his naked foot, burning tow in his mouth, and the like. At last he fill ed his mouth with benzine, saying that he would burn it as he allowed it to escape. He had no sooner applied alight ed match to his lips than the whole mouthful of spirit took fire, and be fore it was consumed the man was burned in a frightful manner, the blazing spirit running all over his face, neck and chest He dashed from his stand, ar4 raced about like a madman among the assembled crowd, tearing his clothing from him, and howling in most intense agony. A portion of the spirit was swallowed, and th in side of his mouth was also terribly burnt He was taken into a chem ist's shop, and oils were adminis tered and applied, but afterwards in agonizing frenzy he was taken to the work-house infirmary, when af ter lingering two days, he died in fearful agony. Open to a Hone Trade. A Michigander who was traveling through Indiana last fall with a horse and buggy drove up to a farm house one day with his patent washing ma chine, and discovered that he had happened on a funeral Undersuch circumstances he deemed it best to beat a retreat, but while unhitching his horse one of the men carna out and inquired?"

Lizzie Marcellus, the circus rider who was lost with Stowe's show on the burned Mississippi steamer, Golden City,went off with Dan Rice when only six years of age. Dan's circus passed through a rural town near Schenectady, and Lizzie rode a short distance with the clwn in hli liuggy. She was a remarkably pret ty and bright child, and on leaving her at her parents door, he gave the family tickets for that evening's per formance. She was infatuated with the cirens, and begged to be taken along Dan and his wife offered to adopt her, and the parents gave her up. She was put into training for horseback riding, at which she be came an expert At the time of her death, at the age of twenty-two, she owned most of the horses ia the Stwe establishment, six cages of wild animals, and 85,000 worth ef dresses and diamonds.
