The death of Mrs. Delia Stewart Par Bell, mother of the great Irish home rule leader, Charles Stewart Parnell, which occurred at her home in Avon Sale, County Wlcklow, Ireland, not long ago, removed a woman who be came famous la this country through er Illustrious son and also through her labor for the Irish cause In the United States. The circumstances sur rounding the death of Mrs. Parnell were of a snd nature. She was sitting by the fire iu her home when her cloth ing became ignited. Her Injuries were to severe that she failed to recover from the shock. Pelia StPTvart Parnell was born In Philadelphia In 1KKS.

Evidences nf the Ancient Roman Wa , terworks Again Found. i The house of Vottius has two en-S-am-es, the principal one facing the ast and opening to the street which led to the city gate, and a side entrance prhieh Is directly opposite to the mod rn wooden pent-house erected to pro ject the ancient I.'omnn water pipes, , tilth branch off here In many direc tions.

Besides these there wero three engraved stones having the re ipeetive ornaments of an amphora, an ivy leaf, and the eaduceus of Mercury. !n Roman times a man's signet was the cost important of his possessions. It lerved the purpose of a signature, for Ul business transactions were ratified by It, and as In those days locks and keys had not long been Invented, the Itores and valuables of many houses rere still kept strictly under the seal f the owner. It was a felony to make two signets alike, and hence In the (ems of the ancients we have tho most marvelous compendium of their tustoms, manners and beliefs.

Bloxbam Inciden tally related the following legend iu his iddress welcoming the delegates of the National Fishery Society to Tampa, Ha.: "Wherever the history of America is read the story of Pocahontas is known. Plie romance is most captivating, and iome of Virginia's most honored sons trace back a lineage to the daughter of the forest. But the historic fact that a similar scene was enacted on this very spot three-quarters of a century before the name of Pocahontas was ever lisp ed by English Hps Is unknown to even many Floridians. It was here In l.TJS. twelve years before De Soto landed on Tampa Bay, that Juan Ortez, a Spanish youth of IS, having been captured at Clear Water, was brought before Hlrrl hngun, the stern Indian chief, lu whose breast was rankling a vengeance born f the ill treatment of his mother by the followers of the ill-fated Narvaea. Drte. was young and fair, but the cruel chief had given the orders, and here was erected a gridiron of poles, and voting Ortez was bound and stretched to meet the demands of a human sacri fice. The torch was being applied, the crackling names began to gather for a human holocaust, when the stern chief's daughter threw herself at her father's feet and interposed in Ortez's behalf. Her beauty rivaled that of the historic dame 'whose heavenly charm' kept Troy and Greece ten years In arms.' The soft language of her sou flowed from her never silent eyes as she looked up through her tears of sym pathy, imploring the life of the young Spaniard. "Those tears, the ever-ready weapon tsf woman's weakness, touched tne heart of even the savage chief, and Or tez was for the time spared. 'But the demon of evil In a few months again took possession of Hirrl augua, and his deughter saw that even ber entreaties would be unavailing. She was betrothed to Mueoso, the foung chief of a neighboring tribe, rhedr love had been plighted, that God- riven lore that rules the savage breast. Her loving heart told her that Ortez would be safe in Mucoso's keeping. At the dead hour of night she accompanied him beyond danger and placed In his hand such token as Mucoao would rec ognize. She acted none too soon. As the lun rose over this spot, its rays fell up- n the maddened Chief calling In Tain for the Intended victim of his ven geance. His rage was such that It dried up the wellspring of parental affection rod he refused the marriage of his daughter unless Ortez was surrender ed. But that Indian girl, although It broke the heartstrings of hope, sacri ficed her love to humanity, and Mueoso sacrificed his bride upon the altar of honor. Ortez lived to welcome De Soto. Tell ne aye, tell the world where a bright er example of nobler virtue was ever recorded!

' m Kessarkablelnstaiscee of Bravery Die- played There by Dancing Men. The men who frequent dancing rooms are not by any means so effeminate as some scornful members of the stronger sex would have us believe. Scented dandles are capable of courage in emer gencies, and brave deeds are occasion ally performed even In the enervating atmosDhere of the ball room. While In the act of snatching a kiss from an attractive girl under the mis tletoe a young masher felt a breath of hot air on his race, auu, iu b.a.uS aud, in glancing Up, Saw liiai mc r.Tib." . large chandelier had caught fire and jvere blazing away merrily. A quick look around the room told him that the other dancers were unaware of the catastrophe, so he drew back a pace, measured his distance, aud with one . . r.-i a .in run gigantic spring managed to catch hold of the chandelier. Hanging on by one hand, he rapidly pulled down the burn ing evergreens and cast them to the floor, scorching bis arms terribly in th process, but never once flinching. Not until he was satisfied that every bit of inflammable material was safely accounted for would he relinquish his hold. Beyond a doubt his ready re source prevented a conflagration, but he suffered so much that one of his hands had to be amputated. His beau tiful mustache, of which he was lnor-' dinately proud, was also frizzled up by the Are. A somewhat similar feat was per formed by a conceited but daring young coxcomb in a crowded ball room last winter. Several ladles had fainted for want of air, and as the ventilator In the roof would not answer to Its pul ley the young dandy volunteered to SOram ni? up tue iraue ru.e auu tTs what was amiss, this was xne ouiy practicable method of obtaining relief, for some larking guest had locked the door of the room on the outside, and It was Impossible to break it open. The young fellow cut his hands al mnt tn rthhnna before he reached the ventilator, and even when be got up found It impossible to open It. Unde terred by this, though, he unhesitating ly banged his head through the thick glass, and tiien slid to the ground, where he fainted from the loss of blood. During a dance In a Spanish ball room a heavy plaster cast fell from a bracket, and would certainly have In jured one of the host's daughters had not her partner warded It off with his arm. The accident frightened the girl a little, for she was extremely nervous. but the g:illaDt who was dancing with her Insisted on continuing the waltz, aud assured her that he was not In the least hurt. Accordingly the couple kept up to the music for fifteen minutes or more, and their consummate dancing drew ad miration from every one in the room. The girl was the first to plead fatigue, so lier partner led lior gracefully to a seat, and went off, ostensibly to get re freshments, but really to find a doctor, for his arm was broken Iu two places. and his shoulder was dislocated. With remarkable endurance he had refrain ed from mentioning the Injury which the plaster cast had done him, and had suffered acute agony for fifteen min utes rather than alarm the sensitive daughter of his host. Tit-Bits. STORY OF A FAMOUS FIDDLE A ftradivarlus tVhick Han Been Very Little Uaed. In connection with the death the oth er day of Mr. Iaurie, the Glasgow vio lin expert, reference was made to his having bad through his hands the fam ous Stradlvarius violin, which has couie to be known, somewhat Irreverently, if not absurdly, as "The Messiah." The Instrument Is now In the possession of Mr. B. Crawford of Newpark, rlrinity, Edinburgh, wbo a few years ago paid no less than 2,000 for It. As recently as 1872, Charles Keade (wbo knew as much about fiddles as about the trade of letters) had valued the Instrument at titiO, putting the worth of the varnish alone at 5t5! Vlllaume, the high priest of fiddleniaklng In Paris, had it at this time. He kept It till his death iu 1ST5. From Vlllaume the treasure descended to M. Alurd, the great French violinist, who gave 1.000 for It. He died In IKSsi and two years later Mr. Crawford risk ed his 2,000 for It. There Is some reason for the high fig ure. Tbe Instrument la the only one that has come down from Stradlvarlus' own hands In a state of perfect preser vation. It bas been very little played upon, and Its glowing, ruddy varnish is as fresh as if it had been put on only a week ago. Mr. Crawford bas a sec ond "Strad," and also a verv fine 3imr- nerlus. It Is but a question of a few years, and the Instrument if it Is ever sold will fetch a considerably higher price. Scots rictorlal. ST. VITUS' DANCE.
