R?gnier, t he Spy.
One of ?be very strangest rfeatnres of
tb e.^F ?in co-Germ an *war wits \ the part
played bv^ Regaler,- whose dealh -at St
Lawrence, near Ramsgate, is announced
in the Paris papers, writes a correspond?
ent of the London lelegravk. He was
generally supposed, to have expiredJong
since^an#*??ertamiy remen&erCtoJhave
seen^is/Jec?as? mentioned ?some ryears
agd. *H? -was comtnon?y spoken rof as
R?gnier, the spy, and he was condemn?
ed "by default as such^ but for my own
partfl baye always had considerable
doubts on the subject I often met Reg
neir during the progress of the famous
trial of Bazaine at the Trianon, and he
left on my mind the impression of be?
ing a vain busy-body who had got into
trouble hy attempting to perform a t:isk
which he"had neither the authority to
undertake nor the brain to execute. It
is quite possible that he may have, been
actuated simply by the desire to bring
about peace, and that he may nave mis?
taken the wish to make himself import?
ant for the capability of becoming a
her?c If he really acted as spy to the
German forces hemust have been scurvi?
ly treated by those for whom he is sup?
posed, to have worked, for he was a
rich .juan Jjefore- toe, WAIT -and; almost
pennte? afterward.. WbOethe Bazaine
trial was going on he did not attempt
to hide his whereabouts, and up to the
last .moment he loudly expressed his
determi nation to come: forward as a
witness. The day before that on which
he was to appear, however, his courage
failed him. He strolled out with his
gun on his shoulder, as though he were
going to-sbopt_some pheasants, and he
never went home again. When he was
found guilty by default he had already
crossed thefrontier, ^et his Tanning
away^bviio means'KcVncTusive proof
of his gui?t Party feeling was then
still very high; And eycryjbody who had
been in communication with "the imper?
ial family was looked .upon with sus?
picion. R?gnier may well have doubt?
ed the result of a public investigation.
Bc this at it may, the -mystery - of his
case has never been cleared up. He
once gave mc a collection of the pamph?
lets he had written on the subject, and
he beggedytue most earnestly to have
them bound in order to insure; their be
ing^DBserved. I remember having-been
amused at the time by thc great anxiety
he manifested that his writings should
be saved from oblivion. It betrayed
the excessive and inordinate vanity of
his character, and this vanity is enough
I think to account for much that other?
wise would be inexplicable in his con?
duct
So strange was Rignier's career that
I may well remind your readers,of some
episodes of it Giving himself out as a
diplomatic envoy to Bazaine, he made
his way into Motz toward tho end of
September, 1870. He had a long con?
versation with Bazaine, and was then
driven back to the German line. Un?
fortunately, he had reckoned without
his host "lt was night when ho return?
ed, and he was fired upou, and narrow?
ly escaped with his life. Taken back to
Metz, he had another interview with
Bazaine on thc* following day. after
which he was successful in returning to
his original starting point without fur?
ther mishap. Many at the time-be?
lieved him io have been specially em-j
powered by the Empress Eugenie toc?n?

?nqo?ries ninde by-a reporter for the
New York Hail and Express among
dealers: in - lane/ o im a m e a ts for the
|mrlor wd: drawing-room elicited the
fact J hat old and antique designs in
wrought-iron and copper are all the rage
this fall One of the most popular of
these is a curiously-fashioned standard
of iron rods to which is attached a cop?
per tea-kettle, under which is fastened
a small copper alcohol lamp. They are
of domestic make and average $20 each.
The standard is of plain, black iron end
I the kettle and lamp of clear copper, and
were they not "the thing" they would
I scarcely be tolerated, one would think,
among the richly-decorated ware that
has been of late so much in favor in the
houses of thc wealthy. Among other
'wronght-tron noTelries" "are ""hanging
-daabwms, square and with colored glass
]Bh?f?s;?antf several styles of elaborate
j!?aiup' Standards. One dealer talked
^.ULsaidjlkat tiievorders for these goods
and for pure copper articles were com?
ing in faster than he was able to fill
them.. In the copper ware the prevail?
ing fashion is for a rich, dark shade of
color, called royal copper. The ware is
of solid me: al and is given a dark sat?
in finish. Sconces, candelabra, sealing
^waac s*$te,~:ttn~d mirror frames are made
Ofthe same "material. The sconces cost
$30 a pair, and. the mirror frames $18
each. Some of the pieces are made
more attractive by ornaments of oxi?
dized silver. Equally with the rage for
this style of ware is a demand for Egyp?
tian figures standing from one to three
?e^t in- height. These are remarkable
for their lifelike appearance and for the
care of detail in which, they are finished.
They represent typical characters,
such as musicians, water-carriers, and

Esther Rockwell's Romance.
Mrs.-'Esther Niies Rockwell, widow
of Harry Rockwell, died at Hadden
Neck a* few days ago, writes a New
Haven correspondent of the New York
Sun. A most romantic event in her
life gave her something more than mere
local repute. She was married in 1817
to Henry Rockwell, who live<ygr|licr
np the Connecticut river, and ,v?6jp?yas
a man of somewhat roving disposition,
with a strong likiug for the sea. Two
years after marriage Rockwell accepted
an offer for winter employment in
Savannah, but when he returned in the
spring came only to New York. There
he was tempted to ship on a whaler and
dim so without seeing his wife. He was
afterward captured while on an English
vessel by a Spanish ship, and spent
two or three years in a Spanish prison.
Then, without returning home, he en?
listed in the United States navy, and
for some years after was on a merchant
ship. He sailed around the world sev?
eral times, Mrs. Rockwell not haviug
heard anything from him for seven or
eight years, believed he was dead, and
in 1825 she married George Evans, who
died in 1831. Rockwell in that year
was in New York, and intended to re?
turn home, but hearing that his wife
had married again, thinking him dead,
he at once shipped for a iong voyage.
By Mr. Evans she had three children,
two of whom are now living. One of
these, Zelinda, when a little girl in 1835,
told her mother that she had had a
queer dream and that she saw her other
papa, as Rockwell was called, coming
home in sailer clothes and a colored
vest. A week later, on the afternoon of
July 4, and during a heavy thunder?
storm. Rockwell knocked at the door of
his wife's house and asked for shelter.
He was invited to take dinner, though
no one recognized him. The little girl,
however, spoke of her dream at ouce
when she saw him, saying that the
man was dressed just as "her other papa
had been.
Then thc wife said, greatly agitated:
.'You remind me of tkj man who was
once my husband.'1
"Don't you know me, Esther?" was
his answer.
Five days after they were married,
aud lived happily together for forty-six
years, when Rockwell died Three
children were born to them, one of
whom. Edward Rockwell, lives now iu
the old homestead.
The Cent in Demand.
Two months ago thc American copper
cent was the most despised coin on the
market. Ladies turned up their pretty
noses at it, bank, presidents issued
edicts that no copper coriki need apply
at their banks for deposit, businessmen
looked askance at it, and the coj>p.;r
cent had scarce wiiere to Jay its bend
or its tail either, for that matter. " The
newsboys, the beggars aud the dime
savings banks alone remained its
friends. Thousands of homeless cents
found their way into the Dime Savings
Bank in Detroit They grew so many
at last that Cashier Woolfenden was
obliged to buy a new safe for their
especial accommodation. Even this be?
came filled and Lite cents were obliged to
lie in great heaps upou thc floor o? the
vaults.
Suddenly thc cent seemed to* jump in?
to favor again. First tho stream pour?
ing into the Dime Dank slackened and
then almost ceased. Then, iuslead of a
supply, came a demand,, and for a time
the bank poured out copper cents like
water; uutil at length all their store
was exhausted. Tue other banks ex?
perienced the same run, but their supply
gave out sooner. To-day the cent is the
most eagerly sought-for coin in Detroit.
Its intrinsic value amounts to but one
mill of gold, but this doesn't bother the
merchants, who pay ?10 for ten hun
drvd cents (actual value SI) with all the
gladness possible. In some cases they
have even offered a premium. Every
one is looking for cents; bank clerks are
hustling around town looking for cents
everywhere, and the United States mints
are unable to supply the demand. The
Dime Bank recently put in a requisition
for $500 in cents, but was informed
that the order could not bc filled for two
months.
The copper coinage of the United
States amounts to $5,000,000. For three
years back no copper has boen coined
in this country, owing to tho overplus
of- cents, until ^recently, when the in*
creased demand obliged the mints to re?
sume. Questions put to leading Detroit
bankers failed to elicit any explanation
of their peculiar and sudden demand
for cents. At last a clerk was found in
the First National Bank who said that
the demand was not felt out in the
smaller cities of the state, and that in
Detroit it came almost entirely from the
large retailers.
"I never though of it before,11 said
Bruce Goodfetlow; "but it is: easily ex?
plained. Of late ali the fancy stores,
notion stores, groceries, etc., .have been
marking down their goods to fractional
currency. If a price was $1, for in?
stance, they would charge 93 cents- if
2? cents, 23 couts;- if 20 cents, 18 cents,
aud so on. They are all doing it now,
and that doubtless creates the present
STeat demand for cen ts.11 - Detroit
Journal.
Some Japanese. Ways.
"Tell mc something about social life
in Japan," said the reporter. ..First of
all* have you any dudes over there?"
Tomati at first did not "catch on,"
but understood what the scribe meant
when "fashionable youno: men" was
j substituted for dudes. He remarked
j that the swell young men in the city of
j Tokio had their clubs like Europeans,
where they went to pass thc time. "Ev?
erything European and American," he
j said, "is considered the height of fash
! ion in Japan among the high-toned peo?
ple. Three years ago the sack coat was
all the rage. The mass of people, how?
ever, wear the old-time costumes. Eu?
ropean dressTS^doptedrrrthe army and
navy, by courtiers and by the police."
The reporter in the course of conver?
sation elicited other interesting data.
Japanese young men of fashion visit the
girls just as they do in this country, take
them out to restaurants and fill them up
with ice cream. They have balls and
parties where waltzing is indulged in ad
libitum. The waltz, however, is a very
recent innovation, but is liked by the
Japanese exceedingly. The costumes of
the ladies in Japan are more in conson?
ance with tlie dress reform movement
than those of American and European
girls... First of all no corset is worn. ?
! The long silk sash supplies .the place of j
j steel and whalebone. This sash is wrap- j
1 ped round and round the waist loosely, ?
and the ends hang down behind. There j
is no large, elaborate bow pinned against |
the back like those seen in the represen?
tations of the "Mikado" on om* stage.
Some of the ultra-fashionable giris of
Tokio, however, have adopted a method j
of making their waists look smaller ac?
cording to the European modes, out no
corset is used-simply a belt buckled
around the waist.
- The ladies are fond of picking the
strings of the banjo, and are up to the j
times in a fashion which has been great- J
ly in vogue among American girls.
! Japanese^girls prettily attire them
I selves in much the same underwear as
American women, but their - stockings
ard built more on the order of dxmitten
for the hand, there being a .separate re?
ceptacle for the big toe.
A very curious fact the reporter glean?
ed from the interpreter was this: The
Japanese think that all Europeans have
i very old types of faces.
The little colony stationed at Gillette
& Co.'s warehouse live very simply and
frugally. Their principal food is rice,
eggs, chickens and meats. In their own
country comparatively little beef or mut?
ton is used for food, but every kind of
fowl is highly appreciated.-The Haiti

A Washington dentist says that a man
who is brave in battle is apt to be a
coward in a dentist's chair. This shows
the effect of pride. A man on a battle?
field has a large number of witnesses
about him. while in a dentist's chair he
is practically alone. It is not hard to
be brave when the eyes of the world are
on rou. but in solitude most men are
cowards.
A private letter from Albert Edward
tells me that he is coming over next sea?
son as manager of a blonde burlesque
company, "I expect to make big
money." he writes, "I shall demand 90
per cent of the gross receipts from all
who wish to engage me. Ma thinks I
ought to make 95," but I don't want to
appear grasping. Love to all tbs folks."

Something You IN cea-shorthand.
"Why?"
Because it will aid yon more than anything
else in acquiring knowledge. Because it will
serve you in case of misfortune.
"How can it be learned?"
By the aid of a hook studied at home and
lessons by mail from an accomplished teacher.
"At what expense ?"
The trifling sum of S6 00, including hook.
"Why so cheap when Colleges advertise the
same course of instruction for $25?
Because a new text-book is used that re?
duces the labor of learning proportionately
to the difference tn price bf the system being
made simpler than heretofore and more prac?
tical, besides being the most popular method,
having- the indorsement of onr Congressional
and profession^ reporters everywhere, togeth?

I hare,had blood poison for (ca years. I know I hare taken one hnr.drcd bottles of
iodide of potash in that time, but it ?:d me no good. Last summer my 'ace. neck, body
and limbs were covered with sores, and 1 could scarcely ase my arms on account of rr.eu
jnatisuun jay shoulders. 1 took S S S., and ii has done me more good than all other medi?
