That smacks of goodness, of extreme sat
isfaction, uniform at all times such is
the Imperial flavor.
Only the choicest American Barley-Malt
and finest Bohemian Hops combined with
scientific brewing, great care, attention,
and thoro ageing can give to Pilsener
this flavor of imperial character a flavor
that pleases the popular taste.
The care and attention given to brewing
Imperial Pilsener has been attested by its
increasing popularity all over the South.

The Confederate President's Elope
ment With Miss Taylor.
I .noticed in your issue of the 20th
ult. a contribution from "D. B. C." on
"Mr. Davis' First Marriage," being "a
denial of the 'runaway match' with
ZacWary Taylor's daughter."
The article infers that the story is
of recent origin, and states that in
1832 Gen. Taylor (then Col.) was stat
ioned with most of his family at Fort
Crawford; that at first he objected to
the suit; that "after an engagement of
two years" he "entirely withdrew his
opposition;" that the marriage took
place at Beechland, Ky., giving the
names of such of the colonel's family
as attended. In the same paragraph
it is stated that "there was never an
estrangjement between Gen. Taylor and
his daughter. Ho was then at the
Falls of! St. Anthony (Fort Snelllng) on
an expedition against Indians and
could not return."
Now. lor myself I would say that,
early in the summer of 1S33, my father,
John Blfcss, United States Army, then
major, was on his way to take com
mand at Fort Snelling. With him
were my mother and myseir, ami tor
two or ihree weeks we were most
kindly entertained at Col. Taylor's
quarters waiting for the annual steam
er with supplies for Fort Snelling.
While there we heard (but not from the
colonel's family) of the love affair of
Lieut. Davjs and Knox Taylor, and of
the colonel's objections thereto. The
steamer arriving, we proceeded on, and
a few weeks after reaching Fort Snel
ling our small social circle was para
lyzed with the news that Lieut. Davis
had "run off" with Knox Taylor. So
that the story, instead of being of late
date, was coincident with the mar
riage. And I would mention right here
that, though I have often and often
heard the matter discussed in army
and civil circles. I naver knew any
other construction to be put upon it,
and th communication of "D. B. C."
is the only instance of my seeing it in
print. And I never heard but one
story that up to the time of her death
the colonel never saw' nor became re
conciled to her.
Late in the fall of 1S35 I left Fort
Snelling with several others in a birch
bark canoe, making a voyage to Gal
ena, III., camping out every night ex
cept at Prairie du olden, where for two
or three days I again became the
guest of the kindly old colonel and his
most estimable wife. On my last day
word was received of the death of Mrs.
Davis, and I certainly never saw a
more sorrowing family: the colonel
seemed utterly broken down. I know
that at the time of the marriage the
colonel was not at the F lis of St. An
thony (Fort Snelling), and that for
years before and after there was no
trouble whatever with Indians in that
quarter1.
Of course, the above can in no way
be reconciled with the communication
of "D. B. C." and the story of the re
conciiation and two years' engage
ment. It is my belief that Mrs Dan
dridge (whose first husband, by the
; way, was my kinsman. W. W. S.
j Bliss, United States Army,) was mis-
quoted otherwise there is a clashing
' of recollection between Mrs. Dandridge
I (Betty Taylor) and myself. Any one
interested in determining the quality
of our respective memories readily do
so by examining the records of the
War Department, and learning whether
in the summer of 1S33 Col. Zachary
Taylor was sent on an expedition to
quell Indian disturbances in the vicini
ty of the Falls of St. Anthony.
There is a decided possibility that
Mrs. Dandridge unwillingly confused
her recollections with the Black Hawk
war which occuied a few years before,
and in which both her father and mine
took an active part. Letter of J. H.
Bliss, in New York Times.

Secretary Shaw May Retire Febru
ary 1st.
Considerable surprise was occasioned
in the senate when the nominations of
the new members of the cabinet were
received, for, although the proposed
changes had been announced, it was
understood that the retirement of Sec
retary Shaw, his succession by George
B. Cortelyou, and the hitter's succes
sion by George von L. Meyer, would
hot take place until ab ut March 4. It
is now regarded as entirely probable.
however, that these changes will take
p1 ice a month errller than was at first
expected. The Russian d mma will
meet about March 1, and it Is regarded
as advisable that the new ambassador
who is to succeed Mr. Meyer should
have been at his pq;t at least a month
before that, in order that he mav have
become familiar with conditions in St.
Petersburg before the meeting of the
national congress.
For that reason it is believed proba
ble that Mr. Shaw will retire from the
cabinet about Februar'' 1. and that he
will be immediately succeeded by Mr.
Cortelyou, Mr. Meyer then entering
the cabinet as postmaster general,
thus making way for his successor to
present his credentials at the winter
palace. Washington Special to the
New York Tribune.
"About the only difference between
him and the real Knocko is In the mat
tei of sense Knocko had more."
Such was the disgusted comment of
Policeman Barrow as he raked five foot
Patrick McCue off his back and slamm
ed him in the floor of the west Sixty-eighth
street station.
McCue, a groom of No. 336 West End
avenue, had been on a frolic, Inspired
by potions taken in the wood alcohol
belt, and about the only thing he did
do was to tie up traffic in the subway.
He blocked traffic on the Amsterdam
line for twenty minutes, caused a
wrecking crew to be summoned to jack
up a car under which he had taken
refuge, caused a panic among passen
gers, took liberties with several police
men and made more amusement for
small boys than they had known in
months.
And al because something told him
he was a reincarnation of the lamented
Knocko.
The little grornn began his antics In
i the vicinity of Broadway and Seventy-
fifth street late In tne afternoon, ana
hopped, monkey fashion, to the sub
way station of the Seventy-second
street, followed by a crowd of 200 per
sons. There he climbed to the sta
tion roof, hopped around nimbly,
grimaced like a well-behaved monkey,
and, when Policeman Barlow called to
him' to come down, swung off the edge
of the roof ami plumped down on the
tracks directly in front of an Amster
dam avenue car. The motorman just
missed running over him.
Then the passengers became alarm
ed and the crowd swelled. McCue
added to the confusion by dashing
among the onlookers and striking and
snapping at them. Just as the car
started, he ran under it, closely fol
lowed by Policeman Barlow's club,
which he gathered up Indifferently.
To safeguard himself, he burrowed
up into the mechanism of the car. and
there he defied the police and the mo
torman to dislodge him. Peanuts were
mingled with honeyed words in an
effort .to coax him out. but in vain.
At threats he squeaked and declared
he was the onlv and original Knocko.
Meantime, a string of cars had
formed down as far as Sixty-eighth
street. It had lengthened three blocks
more when a wrecking crew arrived,
and with a hoist dragged the Simian
impersonator from the trucks. He
grinned gleefully as he was passed
into the strong arms of Policeman
Barlow, and all the way to the sta
tion he greatly impeded the police
man's progress. From the New York
Herald.

Elevator Gave Her Lockjaw.
The swift descent of an elevator in
a New York department store last
week resulted in such a nervous shock
to Mrs. Gertrude May Hennion, of

shock. Paterson Dispatch to the New
