Petersburg, Va., Last Survivor of the Party. Capt. Wm. S. McCance, veteran of the Civil War, now residing in Pet ersburg, Va., is beileved to be the last survivor of the hanging of Jno. Brown, Kansas abolitionist, who was execut ed in 1859 at Charles Town, Va., fol lowing his ill-starred insurrection at Harper’s Ferry. There was keen ri valry for the privilege of conducting this Christmas week execution, the Richmond Blues, the cadets of Vir ginia Military Academy and the Pet ersburg Grays each intriguing with the authorities for the honor of string ing up the “nigger lover.” The Grays won. Bill McCance, then a sergeant, hanpened to be in command of the platoon assigned to carry out the ac tual execution. To him came the or der to take the death ride with Brown. Perched beside Brown upon the bi> oak coffin, which was soon to hold Brown’s bodv, rode ant to the snot where the gallows had been erec ;ed. Brown made no comment o’] the wav out. left the wagon unassisted and calmly tdok his place on the scaf fold. The rope was adjusted about his neck, and a moment later he was swi-io'ing in the ai**. “You know.” said the captain the n fiiAr d°' ,r . reminiscent on the incident “I felt kinder sorrv for old John. I think he kinder felt sorry too, for what he’d done, tho_ he didn’t say a word, and he just olumb up that rone without peepin’.

Scotland 33.0 99 Warren 32.5 1100 Halifax 29.3 ORIGIN OF PHRASES. ; Many Sentences Generally Misconstru ed by Those Who Use Them. How many people Know t*ne origin ■ of the phrase, “A mare’s nest?” ; Certainly “mare” in this case has nothing to do with a horse. It is a ! corruption of “mara,"’ a maleviolent . demon, who, according to tradition. possessed a nest filled with wonderful ! jewels and gold. Whether this par . ticular demon ever existed is doubtful, , but he certainly influenced our speech, for whenever we refer to “night mares” we are again unconsicously evoking the same mischevious spirit. When we sav that something is not worth a “rap”, most of us imagine a “rap” means a rap of the knuckles. But the origin of this phrase dates from the days of George I, when the “rap” was a counterfeit coin often passed off for a half-penny. The expression “I don’t care a fig,” comes from Italy. The word is deriv ed from “fice.” the Italian equivalent for a snap of the fingers. At one time bakers were fined so heavily for short weight • that they threw in an extra loaf to be sure they were on the safe side, and so we got the phrase, “a baker’s dozen.” i Nowadays a “bluestocking” means a woman who is devoted to study. It has nothing to do with hosiery. But in the sixteenth century there existed in Paris and Venice societies of learn ed women who wore bright blue stock ings to distinguish them from the less cultured members of their sex. Far Her Friend. I A party of a hundred children of the slums had been taken for a visit into the country and were on their way home. The attendant heard a chorus of gibes all aimed at Rosie one of the littl girls, and then she saw that the girl was wearing a pai*- of shoes of very large size. Then the attendant remembered that Rosie had had a pair of new shoes, and she ask ed what had become of them. “Well,” said Rosie, “you see these shoes ain’t mine. They’re Katie’s. I know they are awful big, but her mamma ain’t had any work lately, so she couldn’t buy her a new pair. She just gave her own shoes to Kate. “Katie felt awful bad about it, end cried all the way to the station. The girls all laughed at her. So I just lent her my new ones and took hers. “You see, teacher,” said Rosie, rais ing her eyes to the attendant’s face, “Katie’s my friend.”—New York Tri bune.
