Tommy and Betsy.B Y A . S. B U IiltOrGH S.

Those were their names—Tommy ancl Betsy.

Everybody in the village knew them; pretty much everybody said a good word for them; yet all agreed with wonderful unanimity that they were two o f the strangest individuals the good Lord had ever created.

Tommy—liis full name was Thomas Granshaw—was a batchelor of forty years old, reputed to have a whole chest full of money, which he kept un­der his bed, so as to keep bank cash­iers from absconding with it ; and was a profound hater of women.

Betsy—or more properly, Miss Betsy Prim—was styled an old maid, was n carpet weaver by occupation, and had a holy horror of the biped called man. As to her age—well, no mortal knew, with any degree o f certainty, what it was; that was a problem left by con­sent to the census taker.

Tommy, though distrustful of bank3 and their migratory employees, was not altogether a miser; he was an economist.

He took life easy, hut was opposed to ostentation and the modern accep­tation of the term “luxury.”

He dressed without regard to fashion, but within the bonds of re­spectability. He even rode out every day in bis own carriage, but it was by no means a modem-built vehicle; it had done service, he would proudly tell you, since his grandfather’s daj’S, quite a century ago.

Books he detested—they were writ­ten and read by women and cranks, he said; society he abominated because it was spoiled by admitting women into it; and o f the few diversions that went to make up the sums of his life’s pleasures, fishing held -the one place of prominence.

Even in the pursuit of this gratifica­tion he was not free from harrassment, for he was obliged to pass by the door of the cottage occupied by a woman, in ordei to reach the river. The wo­man was no other than Betsy.

Scarcely a day passed—that is a pleasant day—but it found Tommy somewhere along the river hank with his birch fishing rod, puffing contented­ly at his briar pipe, and watching with uuitrad eyes the painted dabber that toyed upon the ripples a few yards be­fore him.

That was exactly the picture he pre­sented upon a certain afternoon in September, when the splash of oars in mid-stream fell upon his ears.

He looked in the direction indicated by the sound, and then a frown clouded his face, and between vigorous puffs at bis pipe, he murmured:

“Humph! It’s that fool woman, Bet­sy, trying to row over to Josh Jones’. She might a darned sight rather be at hum weavin’ carpit an’ swillin’ down tea, than scarin’ away the iisli with her splashin’ an’ floppin’ about. I swow! she makes more noise with them oars than the paddle-wheels of a steam-tug.”

He pulled up his line with- an angry jerk, put a fresh worm on the hook, and then cast out timeline again with an outlay of strength necessary only t.s an indicator of his ruffled feelings.

He turned squarely about so as to prevent his eyes from looking Upon the disquieting scene, and fain would have welcomed a brief period of deafness, in order to rid himself the disagreeable sounds; then he pulled harder than ever at the pipe, watching the dabber with an intensity of gaze that must have been actually painful.

The “splasliiu’ an’ floppin’ about,” instead o f dying away in the distance as she neared the other side of the riv­er, grew louder, more energetic, more disturbing, and half in wonder, Tom­my forgot his determination for an in­stand, and cast a quick glance over his shoulder.

“Jest like a datted woman, by gum I” cried lie, “1 swow! ef she hain’t gone an’ rowed right plum smack inter that eddy—the only within eleven miles, at that! What a tarnation fool-critter a woman is, anyhow!”

Just then his attention was attract­ed to the dabber again, his sharp eyes having detected the premonitory symp­toms of a bite, and Betsy’s peril was forgotton at once.

A forcible reminder came in the form o f a loud, piercing scream, fol­lowed by a frightened appeal for help.

“Thar, jest as might a bin expected! the fust bite I ’ve had for an hour, and tliet shallow-pate woman hed to let out a screech an’’ scare the fish away.”

“Help! help! h-e-l-p!” screamed the woman.

There was no question about it, Bet­sy was in great peril. Her boat—an old, leaky shell—was twirling about as though working upon .a pivot, the rapid rotary motion causing, at frequent in­tervals, splash upon splash o f foamy waves into the already half filed boat,- that bade fair to sink it in short order.

"Let her drown !” growled the wo­man-hater. watching Betsy’s frantic struggles to save herself. “ There’ll be one less woman—Gosh A’mighty, she will go down surer’n fate. Bein’ a sort of human critter, I s’pose I ’llhev to pull her out, er the neighbors’ll lynch me.”

His own boat happened to be near at hand, and a few vigorous strokes with the oars brought Tommy as near to the eddy as he dared venture.

“Here!” cried he, grumblingly, as he threw her a rope ; “ketch hold if you want ter get out!”’ Betsy had been so occupied with her

fears and straggles that up to this mo­ment she was unaware that assistance had arrived, and at the sound of his voice turned quickly about.

Her hasty movement caused the boat to so down, but she clung heroically to the oars and. regarded- her would-be rescurer - with a look o f .shrinking horror. , - ‘ '

“Lack a mercy! arnani ok! horrors! must I owe my life to one o’ them de­based creeters? Ko, nol go ’wayI don’t tetch me! lemme drown! I’d rather die nor owe my life to a man!”

“Don’t be a tarnation ijeot, Betsy Prim ! Ketch o’ that rope an’ I ’ll snake cye out.”

“Kever!” cried Betsy, spurting out a stream of water from her mouth and paddling with both hands to keep afloat. “I ’ll die first!”

“Then, by gum! I’ll pull ye out, any­how !” said Tommy betraying unusual interest in her perilous situation. •‘YTe.ve got more downright grit than I thort was in any liveitt’ woman! Y e ’re too plucky ter make fish-bait, an’ I ’ll* save ye, villin’ or no lullin'!”

Despite Betsy’s gurgled protests, he hurriedly hauled in the rope, formed a slin-noose at one end, and hurled it over the half-drowned woman’s should­ers. Thew lie exerted his strength in a vigorous pull, which Betsy resisted with all her waning powers, and suc­ceeded in drawing her beside the boat and lifting her in.

“I ’m forever an’ etarnally disgrac­ed!’’ gasped Betsy, as she was deposit­ed in the bottom of the boat ;and then, too much exhausted to bear up longer, her eyes closed languidly and she faint­ed quite away.

“Whss an’ more o f it!” cried Tommy, as he pulled toward the shore. “What in thunder am I goin’ to do with a faint­in’ half-drowned woman on. my hands, I ’d like ter know! I ’ve half a mind to leave her here in the boat and lite out fer home!”

But he didn’t. There was a strong under current o f sympathy in the wo­man-hater’s nature, and lie did just the opposite o f wliat he had expressed a willingness to do.

He drew the boat upon the sloping shore and then, after carrying Betsy to the softest and shadiest spot he could find upon the bank, set to work to re­store her to consciousness.

Like most anglers, he had a flask of braudy in his pocket, and poured a little of it between the womau’s color­less lips, which soon had the effect to revive her.

He was still bending over her when Betsy opened her eyes, so the first thing that met her gaze was Tommy’s face not more than a foot from her own.

“Oh, sir!” gasped.she, rolling her eyes mildly and evincing symptoms of hys­terics; “after all my striving to lead a Christian life, I am at last in the de­stroyin’ power o’ Old Beelzehab! Gra­cious me! how kin I ever look in the face uv a mortal bein’ arter tfiis mor­tal disgrace!”

“ Jest draw it a little mild, Betsy Prime! I ain’t ole Beelzebab nor any kin to him, an’ yer showin’ mighty leetle ’preeiation for bein’ yanked o’ the river, too, I’m a tellin’ ye!” said Tom­my, risiug to his feet and gazing out over the water with a queer sort of look in his eyes.

“Wal,” said Betsy, after a moment’s thought, “bein’ as I’m so pizened agi'n ysr sex, mebby I was a leetle too brash. Givin’ the devil his due, thar are Wusser beiu’s on this yarth than you, Tommy Granshaw. I reckon ye’d a better let me drown, though, than ter set all the tongues o’ scandal a waggin’ agin me.”

“Ye’re too plucky a woman ter feed fishes on, Betsy, an’—an’—wal, ye’re a durned sight too purty-lookin’, too!”

The last clause of tbe sentence, after hanging fire for au instant upon the conjunction, was blurted out with liis eyes everted and a perceptible rise of color in his bronzed cheek.

Betsy's pale face changed iu a twink-' ling to deep carnation hue, and her tone might have indicated either real or pretended reproach as she replied:

“Shame on ye, Tommy Granshaw 1 ter make fun uv a misfortunate an’ de­fenseless woman! I ’ll jest go right hum this minit, so I will! ’

She arose, trembling and weak, and attempted to walk away, but was obliged to cling for support to the branches of the trees.

“Ye’re too weak yet, Betsy,” said Tommy, approaching. “Ye’d better stop a while longer till ye get strong­er.”

“So ye could make more fun o’ me, I s’pose!” said she, tartly.

“I hain’t sed more’n I meant, Betsy Prim, nor more’ll I ’d say at any utlier time; but if ye’re dead set on goin’, I’ll give ye a boost. Here, take my arm.”

“An’ set tlie hull neighborhood afire with scandal!” retorted she.

“Too blazes with their scandal!” cried Tommy, savagely. "The first mouth as opens ter say anything agin yon. I’ll plug up with that!” and he exhibited a very hard and formidable fist.~ After considerable persuasion, Betsy was at last induced to take his arm— gingerly and shyly at fist, hut, as they walked on, with growing confidence and contentment.

“ See that ye take good care o’ your­self, an’ don’t ketch cold arter yer duckin’,” said Tommy, as he deposited the invalid at her own door steps. “If ye’ll agree to it, I ’ll drop in ter-morrow an’ see how ye are.”

Betsy agreed to it with a blush, and without reference to the tongues of scandal, and Tommy went hack to the river with , a host of new and queer sensations lingering in his breast.

“She’s the only woman I ever set eyes on that had a grain o’ sense in her head,” said he to himself, as he resum­ed his watch over the dabber and puff­ed vigorously at his pipe. “Bless me, if she wouldn’t make a right good wife for some chap as liked wimmen-folks.”

Tommy did call the next day, and when Tie departed from the .cottage there was a look in his eyes, an ex­pression on his face, that had never before been seen there; they were the exidences of happiness, begotton of his and Betsy’s betrothal.

Two people now ride out every day in the old-fashioned carriage—two very happy and contented people—and they are Tommy aud Betsy.— Yankee Blade.

Sense o f Smell in a Hoi’se.The horse will leave musty Xiay un­

touched in liis bin, however hungry. He will not drink of water objection­able to his questioning sniffs, or from a bucket which some odor makes off­ensive, however thirsty.. His intel­ligent nostril will widen, quiver and query over the daintiest hit, offered by the fairest of hands, witli coaxings that would make a mortal shut his eyes and swallow a nauseous mouth­ful at a gulp.

A mare is never satisfied by either sight or wliinney that her colt is real­ly her own, until she has a certified nasal certificate .to the fact.

A blind horse, now living, will net allow the approach of any slrauger without showing signs of anger not safely to be disregarded. The distinct­ion is evidently made by his sense of smell, and at a considerable distance. Blind horses, as a rule, will gallop wildly about a pasture Without strik­ing the surrounding fence. The sense of smell informs them of its proximity, Others will when loosed from the sta­ble, go directly to the gate or bars opened to their accustomed feeding grounds; aud when desiring to return, after hours of careless wandering, will distinguish tlve oue outlet and patient­ly await its opening. The odor of that particular part of the fence is their pilot to it.

The horse in browsing, or while gath­ering herbage with its lips, is guided in its choice of proper food entirely by its nostrils. Blind horses do not make mistakes in their diet. In the temple of Olympus a "bronze horse was exhib­ited, at the sight of which six real horses experienced the most violent emotions. iElian judiciously observes that the most perfect art could not im­itate nature sufficiently well to pro­duce so strong an illusion. Like Pliny and Pausanias, he consequently ailirms that “in casting the statue a magician had thrown Ilippomanes upon it,” which by the odor of the plant, de­ceived the horses, and therein we have the secret of the miracle, The scent alone of a buffalo robe will cause many horses to evince lively terror, aud the floating Scent of a railroad train will frighten some long after A e locomo­tive is out of sight and hearing.— Prairie Farmer.

The Commercial Value of Old Bootsand Shoes.

The Journal of the Constantinople Chamber of Commerce describes the industrial uses of old boots and shoes which are thrown out into the streets or into ash pits. After being collected, they are ripped open, and the leather is subjected to a treatment which ren­ders it a pliable mass, from which a kind of artistic leather is derived. This, in appearance, resembles the fin­est Cordova leather. In the United States patterns are stamped On this, while in France it is used, to cover trunks and boxes. The old boots and shoes are also treated in another way, by which they are converted into new ones. The prisoners in Central France are employed in this way, the old shoes coming chiefly from Spain.

They are taken to pieces as before, tlie nails beirg all removed, and the leather is soaked in water to soften it. The uppers for children’s shoes are then cut from it. The soles are also used, for from the smaller pieces of the leather of the old soles the so-called Louis XV. heels for ladies’ shoes are made, while the soles of children’s slices are made from the larger and thinner pieces. The old nails are also put to use, for by means of magnets the iron nails and the tacks and brads are separated and sold. The contract­ors of the military drison at Montpell­ier say that these hails alone pay for the old shoes. Xothing now remains but the scraps, aud these have also their value, for they are much sought after by certain specialists for agricul­tural purposes.

It Happened m the Clirir.Iu a church in this city, a noted ten­

or was rendering a solo, 'Warreu’s “Te Deurn,” aud mistaking the instructions to the organist as to the use of the st ps for sacred words, sang out at the top of his voice, “Pedal, great gamba and swell,” to the astonishment of the congregation. He could not account for the uncontrollable and convulsive, though suppressed, laughter of tbe choir, and was not aware of his mis­take until it was explained to him, when he was overcome with mortifica­tion.

Another instance, mere intensely amusing, was that o f a well-known baritone singer in the same eliurch on another occasion, who inadvertently placed the slur on the wrong note. He had adapted the air of “ The Jewish Maiden” to a hymn beginning “Before the Lord we bow;” and, instead of placing the slur on the first two sylla­bles, he placed it on the last one, and rendered it thus, “Before the Lord we bow-wow-wow.” The effect was im­mense. As be had, and still has, a powerful and beautiful voice, his hear­ers were thoroughly electrified at this unwonted and unlooked for canine im­itation. He has never entirely recov­ered lrotn the effect of liis ludicrous mistake.

Kindness to Animals.The Japanese would shame the hard

task-masters of our horses "and cattle with the gentle usage they give these animals! Cattle are used as beasts of burden and for agricultural purposes more than ponies, Whea it is easier to reach* their fields bv water than by pathway,.the little black bullock or cow is taken there.by boat.

In the evening it is "amusing to see one of these animals, on being unyoked from the plough, quietly walk straight down to the boat lying in the water at the foot of the valley. I f its master is father long in following, it is sure-to look anxiously up the valley aud low as much as to say, “ Are you not com­ing? I want to go home.”

The plough used is most primitive and small, but quite sufficient for tbe purpose required, which is generally to turn over the wet, muddy soil in the rice-fields, This instrument is carried down to the boat on the farmer’s shoulders, who on his arrival holds the boat steady, and tells the wise little animal to get in, but until it has been ordered to do so it never stirs.

When once in the boat the creature stands perfectly still, and is in this way. sculled home, often a considerable dis­tance. The understanding between man and beast is very clear, and very pleasant to see. J

The Pow er o f W ords.The effect an advertisement has up­

on the reader is very well illustrated by the following, as related in the Me­chanical Kews:

A wealthy-man Who owns a country residence recently became dissatisfied with it, and determined to have anoth­er. So he instructed a real estate agent famous for liis descriptive pow­ers to advertise it in the papers for private sale, but to conceal the loca­tion, telling purchasers to apply at his, office. In a few days the gentleman happened to see the advertisement, was pleased with the account of the place, showed it to his wife, and the two con­cluded that it was just what they wanted, and they would secure it at once, So he went to the office of the agent and told him that the place he had advertised was such' a one as he desired and he would purchase it. The agent burst into a laugh, and told him that was a description of his own house where he was then living, He read the advertisement again, cogitat­ed over the “grassy slopes,” “beautiful vistas,” “ smooth lawns,” etc., and broke out, “I s it possible? Well, make out my bill for advertising and expenses, for, by George! I . wouldn’t sell the place now for three times wliat it cost me.”

A Snake Sipliou.Old Sergeant Subers relates the fol­

lowing as strictly true, and says it can be vouched fox by forty of the most influential citizens of East Macon:

Out on the plantation o f Mr. Jl G; Evan, near Macon, there are a great many moccasins, especially about the mill pond. One little pond near the mill is a favorite resort, and they con­gregate in great numbers about it. It is supplied by the rains, and last sum­mer, during the protracted drought, it went almost dry, with a great number of snakes to mourn the loss of the wa­ter. The snakes did not like to be evicted by dry weather, so they crawled out in singtefile from the little pond that lay below the level of the mill pond. When the first snake, or leader, had reached the water o f the mill pond a halt was called, and each snake pro­ceeded to swallow the tail of thesnake m front of him, until each mouth was filled with a tail, and then every snake in the long line proceeded to shed its skin and crawl out. The shed skins formed a long length of hose, which acting like a siphon, drew the water from the mill pond and filled the little pond, and, what is better, kept it full all summer.—Macon Telegraph.

The Telegraph can apply at once at headquarters for the snake liaTs leather medal and the contest will he discon­tinued.

Punishing the Gods in China.' A funny story illustrative of Celes­

tial simplicity (or superstition), says the Loudon Figaro, comes from F oo­chow, in China. There is a joss-house, or temple, in that city, to which per­sons of revengeful disposition are wont to resort when desirous of obtaining satisfaction for an injury, the deities there being credited with a power to cause instant death to those against whom their aid is invoked. After the death of the great Tartar general—the cause of which appears to have been rather mysterious—the supposition that he had fallen a victim to these particular josses was started by some of the gentry, and the viceroy thereup­on gave instructions for an inquiry to he held into the matter.

The taotai was commissioned to see the order carried out, aud he went to the tempie and arrested fifteen of the josses. These idols are of wood, about five feet in height. Before being tak­en into the presence of the taotai their eyes were put out, in order that they might not be able to identify him in the realms above or below—wherever they go! After an investigation a re­port of the case was sent to the vice­roy, who at once gave orders that the josses should he decapitated and then cast into a pond! Y et withal China claims to he a civilized country.

A Barrel o f Flour Made into Bread.The American Analyst thus sums a

baker’s profits, or what a barrel o f flour is worth made into bread. A baker will toss a barrel o f flour into a trough. Then he tosses 101 pounds of water on top. A quantity of yeast is added, and then the jolly baker has 300 pounds of dough to operate on. The 300 pounds oost him $5. In short order the dough is turned into “twists”, high loaves, pan loaves, and other styles of the same quality. Tbe oven’s heat reduces the 300 pounds of dough to 200 pounds of bread. The baker sells his bread at the rate of four cents a pound, or at an advance of over 30 per cent over what it cost him. There are 1,400 bakers, great and small, in this city, and to them is committed the trust of supply­ing bread for 1,300,000 persons. There are many bakers in this city who make 1,300 loaves of bread per day and sell it for SSO to §150, or at a net profit of §-10. Little money is lost in the business, aud make a cash trade. It is very seldom that bakers fail. The business Is steady, reliable, and attend­ed by a very few risks, unless incompe­tent workmen.—Scientific American.

Ko Nerves.To all appearances, Chinamen have

no nerves. The Chinaman can write all day, work all day, stand in one po­sition all day, weave, heat gold, carve ivory, do indefinitely tedious jobs for ever and ever, and discover no more signs o f weariness and irrritation than if he. were a machine. This quality appears early in life. There are no resLless, naughty boys in China. They are all appallingly good, and will plod away in school without recesses or rec­reation of any kind. The Chinaman can do without exercise. Sport or play seems to him so much waste of labor. He can sleep anywhere—amid rattling machinery, deafening uproar, squall­ing children, and quarrelling adults. He can sleep on the ground, on the floor, on a bed, oil a chair, in any posi­tion. It would be easy to raise in Chi­na an army of a million men—nay, of ten millions—tested by competitive examination as to their capacity to go to sleep across three wheelbarrows, head downward like a spider, their mouths wide open and a fly inside.

----------- ------------------Glass Clotli.

A Frenchman has invented a proe­ms of spinning and weaving glass into cloth, Tlie warp is composed of silk, forming the body and groundwork, on which the pattern in glass, appears as effected by the weft. The requisite fiexiDility of glass thread for manufac­turing purposes is to be ascribed to its extreme fineness, as not less than from fifty to sixty o f the original strands are required to form one thread of the weft. The process is slow, for no more than a yard o f clotli can be produced in twelve hours. The work, however is extremely beautiful and compara­tively cheap. A French paper, com­menting on riie diseovery, says: '“When we figure to ourselves an apartment decorated with cloth of glass and re­splendent with light; we must be con­vinced that it will equal in brilliancy ail that tbe imagination can conceive and realize; in a word, the wonders of the enchanted palaces mentioned in the Arabian tales.”

Deafness Caused b y the E lectric

A curious phenomenon was recently related by M. D’Arsonval before the French Academy of Medicine. A fter gazing for a few seconds on an arc light of intense brilliancy, lie sudden­ly became deaf, and remained so for nearly an hour and a half. Surprised and somewhat alarmed iu the first in­stance. but reassured by the disappear­ance of the symptoms, he repeated the experiment with the same result. When only one eye was exposed to the light; no very marked effect was pro­duced. - -Medical Press.and Circular.

Generosity.Give away your small change pro­

miscuously, or expend it for pleasures in which your friends share, and you will soon be called a generous fellow. It matters nothing that your wife must wear her last year’s bonnet for the lack of the money with which you have purchased your reputation; that fact is only known in the domestic cir­cle, It is very noble to be liberal, but not at other people’s expense. The old copy-book maxim is a very sound one; “Be just before you are generous.” I f your liberality lessens necessary ex­penditure at home, or hinders you from paying what you owe to your butcher or your tailor, you are not just to him; nor, it may he added, are you really generous, but only lavish. But avoid meanness and stinginess. Give away as much as you please, the more the better alwas provided that nobody but yourself suffers by your giving, that the person benefitted by it is worthy, and that it is done without os­tentation. The truly generous man is he who denies himself some luxury, or better still, some necessary, in order that he may have wherewith to give to those who are in need The million­aire gets great praise for his gifts and large donations; but in all proba­bility the signing of his big check does not entail riie sacrifice of the smallest pleasure or the slightest gratification. Unless he gambles on the turf or the Stock Exchange, he cannot spend on himself more than a certain not very large annual amount ; and there is therefore no very marvellous generosi­ty in handing over the surplus to one or half a dozen charitable organiza­tions.

Blum Cnrculio Remedies.A recent Bulletin of the Michigan

Agricultural College has the following: For the past two or three years Mr. J. N. Stearns cff Kalamazoo, Michigan, has treated some of his trees with com­mon air-slaked lime to which he added some crude carbolic acid. This was thrown on to the trees just as the calyx was falling from the fruit, or just as the eurculios were commencing to lay eggs. Trees thus treated bore good crops, while others not treated, bore no plums at all. The past season the same kind of experiments were tried. To 100 pounds of air-slaked lime and plaster, one. pint of strong crude acid was used. Plaster is preferred to lime, as it is much more pleasant to mix, and more agreeable to throw on to the trees. The lime is so light that it flies badly, while there is far less trouble in use of plaster. The trees were treated June 5th, and again a week later. The dust was thrown on by going up on a tall step ladder. It was easily and quickly done. Both plum and cherry trees were treated. The application did no harm to the trees so far as could be discerned.

A Dangerous B low .You may have read that pathetic

poem of Browning’s which commemo­rates the act of an earl of Arundel, who, having struck bis little child on the head, had the picture of himself and the child painted, tlie child, as he became in after years, imbecile from the effects of that blow. It would be well, we think, for every parent, and for all tliose having children on their hands, to commit these verses to mem­ory, and put the lesson in practice; for the injury done to children by the quick and careless box on the ear that is thought nothing of at the time, is something incalculable. It is impossi­ble to hit a tender child a blow upon so delicate an organ as the ear, and one having such close connection with the brain, without doing an evil un-’ seen work, even when tho blow is giv­en with the flat of the open hand.

Eggs are the best animal food with in f used bev­erages, and should be soft-boiled when tea is tlie beverage and hard-boiled with coffee or cocoa. .

Thanksgiving proclamation.The time-honored custom o£ our fa­

thers, a year filled with peace and plen­ty, the absence of famine and far- reaching: pestilence and the unexcelled comfort and prosperity o f our people, have come to us through the mercy and goodness o f an all-wise and over­ruling Providence.. In recognition of these blessings and in harmony with the sentiments o f a thankful people, I do hereby appoint Thursday, the twen­ty-ninth day o f November, A .B . 1SSS, as a day o f general thanksgiving and praise. Upon that day let us remember and be grateful by thought, word and deed that in our own Commonwealth o f Michigan we are among the most favored of people, and may our grati­tude find expression in praise to Al-

■ mighty God. Let the happiuess that may come in the preservation o f health, the sunshine o f prosperity, the reunion of friends, or through other channels, be increased to each o f us by some generous deed to another more unfortunate than ourselves.

In witness whereof, I have here­unto set my hand and caused to be affixed hereto the great seal o f the State this tenth day of November, A . D. one thousand eight hundred anti eighty-eight.By the Governor, Cyrus G. L uce.

“Niggers” Don’t Yote.Mekidan, Miss. Nov. 6.—Today I

saw something of the “Mississippi plan” of carrying elections. I came down from Livingston, Ala., last night reaching this place shortly before mid­night. There had been a “ white men’s” rally here that evening, including a torchlight procession, by way of prepa­ration for the duties of to-day. When I arrived there was still a good deal of noise in the streets, with an occasional collision between whites anil blacks, though nothing of a serious nature oc­curred.

I was up betimes this morning, as I supposed the voting began at 0 o’clock.I was surprised to learn that the polls did not open till 9 o’clock. About the first man I met on the street was a ne­gro, with a large plaster above one of his eyes and showing the marks o f a fresh cut. I asked him how he got hurt, and he replied:

“A white man hit me wid a brielc las’ night.”

I asked him if the trouble grew out o f politics, and he said it did. 1 after­wards saw two others who were in­jured In a political fracas last night.

A t the hour for opening the polls I was at one of the two voting places in this city. The votes were received in a room on the second door of a large building having an outside stairway. A rope was stretched up the middle of the stairway, forming two passages, one for those going up and the other for the exit of those who voted. A t 9 o’clock there were 25 or 30 white men on hand, hut no negroes. T wo or three dozen of the latter were standing in little groups on the opposite side o f the street, apparently waiting to see “how the cat was going to jump” before at­tempting to vote.

There is a complete system of regis­tration in Mississippi and the voting was slow. Guards were stationed at the foot of the stairs and at the upper landing, and but two persons at a time were perm i ttect to pass up. The white men began at once to vote. In a few minutes two or three colored men crossed the street and took theirplaces in the line, ready to ascend when their time came. No effort was made to keep them away, and they were soon joinedbyotkers. By half past nine there were 50 or more negroes and about as many whites crowded around the foot of the stairway. The negroes seemed to think that perhaps, after all, they would be allowed to cast their ballots, and from all directions they could be seen making their way toward the polling place.

By this time the whites began to show symptoms of irritation. They nodded and winked to one another, and soon 1 heard one of them say:

“I guess we had better do a little hustling.”

A t this moment a piece o f artillery in a common near by was discharged, with a loud report, causing the negroes to start and the whites to set up a wild yell. It was determined to give the blacks a chance by pointing out to them the way of political salvation. A port­ly, well dressed man, who appeared to lie one of the “solid” citizens, with a heavy wooden cane in his hand, came to the rear of the negroes, near where I was standing, and said, in a loud voice:

“Boys, if you want to vote the dem­ocratic ticket, the one we gsve you, it is all right, but If you intend to vote the republican ticket you had better get away from here, and be right quick about it, too. W e don’t want any trouble here to-day and there won’t be any i f you just go away quickly about your business.”

A t this speech the white men joined in another yell. Two or three negroes who stood near him withdrew from the crowd and walked slowly away. A ll the rest remained, as if determined to “hold the fort.”

The whites to the number of eight or ten, under the leadership of the solid citizen, ranged themselves immediate­ly in the rear o f the colored men. When all was ready, the solid citizen shouted, “Close up!” A t this moment there was a call from the upper guard, “ T wo more come up and vote.”

“White men go up; niggers stay down.” cried one of the crowd. Then half a dozen took up the shout, “ Close up!” and the “hustling” began. The white men threw themselyes against the negroes, plunging into the mass with their shoulders and elbowing and jostling them about with much rough­ness and violence. Two negroes fell to the sidewalk and were considerably trampled before they were able to get up. They were not struck or knocked down, but were simply swept off their feet in the stampede that ensued. The terrified negroes ran in every direction and in a minute after the order to ’’close up” not a single one remained. The complete success o f the ‘‘hustle” was greeted with loud and prolonged cheering.

I will say here that the firing of the cannon was kept up, at intervals of half an hour throughout the day. A t the first discharge I asked a gentleman what it was for. It was something new to me as a political factor. He smiled as’ he replied : “ Oh, just to scare the niggers,” I heard many reports of artillery miles away, indicating the combustion of powder also in the coun­try districts. I saw several white men, some five or six, parading the streets with rifles or shotguns on their shoul­ders. None of them, were used, and they may or may not have heen in-

„ tended to co-operate silently with the piece of artillery in the little park. J only mention the fact that I saw them

Eight or ten of the negroes made their way up the stairs before the “hustling” began. When they had been driven away the whites placed them­selves on guard, and no negro was al­lowed to get near the .line of those waiting to vote. Said, one o f the former, a line looking gentleman:

“It don’t matter if a dozen Or 20 of them vote, but there can’t very many of them get near these ballot boxes to-day.”

I saw a colored man approach; with the evident purpose of voting. A “hustler,” who knew him, accosted him with: ' *

“Hello, Jim. What do you want here?”

“I fought I ’d go up ’n’ vote.”“ Well, here’s a ticket,” and the white

man handed him a democratic ballot.“I ’d be glad for to please ye,” ‘ said

the negro, “but dat ain’t nay kind o f a ticket, I couldn’t vote, dat,.nohow?”

“Then yon just git right out of here” —and the apostle of the “ white man's party’ ’ raised his cane as a menace; H e did not strike; Thenegrosaw thafc

it was not a good day for such as he to vote, and turned- upon his heel and walked away.

I might mention a score of similar instances that passed under my ob­servation did space permit. About 10 o’clock I went over to the other city precinct, the court house being the voting place. Here, by the very same process, a crowd o f 75 or 100 negroes had been “ hustled” away. When I reached the spot the whites were laughing and Chuckling over the effec­tive work that was done. The blacks were driven off like cattle.

A few had also voted early in the morning at the court house, but after 9 :30 only white men approached the shrines o f political liberty. In the three or four hours 1 spent at the polls In the city I saw just one exception. A white man entered the crowd at the court house arm-in-arm with a negro. The passage of the latter was Obstruct­ed by one or two of the “ hustlers",

“Let him go,” said the white escort; he’s going to vote the democratic tick­

et; and I ’ll see that he does it, too !” Thereat the crowd cheered lustily.

That negro was a “ man and brother” and a “ fellow citizen”. Those who ivished to vote another ticket were “d—d niggers”.

The negroes appeared to have been supplied with republican tickets be­fore going to the polls, as they were not to be had there. I saw one color­ed man walk toward the voting line with a package of perhaps twro dozen in lus band. I saw a white man, who had been ail the morning particularly zealous in ids efforts to save the coun­try, snatch the tickets from the ne­gro’s hand, tear them up and fling the fragments in the air, at the same time angrily telling the colored man to leave. He -went without a word.

I have told “this just as I saw and heard it, as carefully as if I were un­der oath. I ivanted to telegraph some­thing to-day, but—though I served four years in the army and am not a coward—in the state o f public feeling here it was not safe or prudent to file such a dispatch to a paper in the north. Every word o f this letter is absolutely true.— TV. F. Hinman in Detroit Hews.

Don 31. and Grover.Heavy criss-cross wrinkle? furrowed

Grover’s forehead as he sat in the up­per story oflice o f the White house, lie had lost his grip, and he showed it. A telegram just received from Col. Brice read:

But there wras little consolation in it. Ilis excellency knew7 better. Sud­denly there was a knock at the door. To the disturbed mind, it sounded like the ominous knock of Macduff at the outer gate.

“Come in,” said Grover, and as the door swung open, he continued:

‘Oh, it’ s you, Don, is it? Shut the door,”

And Don M. entered. He had just arrived from Michigan. He had come noiselessly—not in his usual pomp of gorgeous barouche and liveried coach­man, hut silently, with his last win­ter’s arctics on. He did not trip light­ly up the front portico, and smile at the., attendants." It was handier to slip in a convenient side door.

But lie wTas in, and the door closed. Grover’s criss-cross wrinkles deepened.

“Ahem,” lie commenced. “Don, what bind of taffy is this you’ve been giv­ing me about Michigan’s going demo­cratic?” «

“But, my liege------”“No, no; wait a minute; no ‘huts.’

“Why, yon see----- ”“Excuse me; but I don’t see. Didn’t

“But they got it by a mere— ” “Yes, a mere 20,000. And didn’t

you urge me to send in that reform message?”

“But, my liege------”“Anil will yon still ‘but’ ? Let’s see,

Tate Springs, T enn., July 4 , 1SS8. The Swift Specific Co,, Atlanta, Ga.:

During the spring of 1871, while workin g in. the field at my home in Morgan county, Ga., I pulled off my shoes to give my feet a rest. Unfortunately, I walked into a clump of poison, oak, and in a few days my feet

"were in a terrible condition, and I conld not pnt on a shoe because of the soreness and swelling. I was treated as poison oak cases usually are, and everything was healed up. About the same .time the following spring, 1872, my feet became sore again, as at first, and every succeeding spring for five years brought back the same condition of the dis­ease, only each time it became more dis­tressing, because I began to think it was a lifetime trouble. Finally, I was induced to try Swift’s Specific. I took six bottles, and to-day am entirely well. My improvement wa$ gradual from the first, and no evidence o f the disease remains. I shall take pleas­ure in testifying as to its curative proper­ties, It is the greatest blood purifier in ex-

fA GREAT MAGAZINE.

The Century for 1889.HR question lias Often been asked, “ to Wliat does The \Century owe its great circu­lation?” The Christianlinion once answered this by the statement that;‘it has been

' f ? * ' 1 fairly, won, not by adver­tising schemes, but by the excellence which characterizes it in every department.” In their announcements for the coming year the publishers state that it had always been their desire to make The century the one in­dispensable periodical of its class, sg that ■■whatever other publication might he cfesira- ble trv the family, The Century could not be neglected by those who wish to keep abreast o f the times in all matters pertaining to culture. And tbe unprecedented circula­tion of the magazine would seem to bo tho response of the public to this intention.

With tho November number The Century begins its thirty-seventh volume. Two great feat­ures o f tho magazine which, are to continue throughout tho new vol­ume are already well known to the public, the Lincoln history and tho papers on “ Siberia and the Exile System.” The first of these, written by Messrs. Nicolay and Hay,President Lincoln’s pri­vate secretaries, contains the inside history of the dark days of the war, as seen from the White House. ^ ■-

4 * THE SIBERIA7* TAPBllS, by George Kerman, are attracting the' at­tention of the civilized world. The Chi­cago Tribune says that “no other magazine articles printed in the English language just now touch upon a subject which so vitally interests all thoughtful people in Europe and America and Asia.” As is already known, copies of The Century entering Kussia have these articles torn out by the customs officials on the frontier.

DURING 1SS9The Century will publish, the most im­portant art feature that has yet found

place in its pages. It is the result of four years’ work of Mr. Timothy Cole, the leading magazine engraver of tho world, in the galleries of Europe, engraving from tho originals tho greatest pictures by the old masters. A series of papers on Ire­land, its customs, land­

scapes, etc., will appear, and there are to’ be illustrated articles on Bible scenes, treating especially tho subjects of the Inter­national Sunday-School Lessons. George W. Gable-will write “ Strange, True Stories of Louisiana.” There will be'novelettes and short stories by leading writers, occa­sional articles on war subjects (supplement­al to the famous “War Papers” by General Grant and others, which have been appear­ing in The Century), etc., etc. I

The crew o f women who made nu­merous visits to this place a few weeks since, making their headquarters in Hites, are receiving quite extensive notice for the methods o f which they took orders for a certain kind of soap they were introducing. The dealers here found no end o f trouble when' they made the deliveries o f the soap “ordered.” They] discovered that in most cases no order had been given, and the dealer had that much addition to his stock of soap. The transactions in other places are- being branded as a clever swindle.

T H E WIVES O F T H E PRESIDENT AND VICE p r e s id e n t - e l e c t .

M rs. H arrison In te llectu a l an d R elig ious. M rs. H orton,. Of N ow f o r k Society—H o w T h oy A r e L ik e ly t o A ffe c t Socia l L ife a t th o C apita l.

It is natural that at this timo tho nation should bo thinking about the woman who is to be. tho nest mistress of the White House.

Prom the young ’Mrs. Cleveland, who has made so many friends, and who won the ad­miration o f both Democrats and Republi­cans, the nation’s eyes aro to turn to Mrs. Harrison, a matron more than a quarter of a century older.(EBoth are marked women, however, though o f different styles and ages.

When Benjamin Harrison was a student at Oxford, 0 ;, ho met Miss Scott, the daughter of the professor Of chemistry at the uni­versity. Professor Scott, who is now a very old man—he is: over SO—has a position in the pension office at Washington, There was a love affair, with tho inevitable result in those days in tho west, when wealth was not a factor in such matters, and they wore soon after married.

In her youth Mrs. Harrison lived in an at­mosphere of study, and the influence then ex­perienced affected her whole life. Sbeisawo-

ants. HARRISON’ .man o f rare culture. She has long been a prominent and active member of the Ladies’ Literary society of Indianapolis; she is fond o f the fine arts, especially painting, and has done some dainty work herself on china. But the influence of study is not only refining; it stimulates the better feelings as well; and Mrs. Harrison not only devotes herself to her literary society and her painting, but is an. earnest laborer In the field o f the poor. A great deal of her attention is given to tho In­dianapolis orphans’ home.

Mr. and Mrs. Harrison were married when very yonng. The husband was only 20 and the wife was younger. With only §200 on which to begin the world, beside Harrison’s theoretic knowledge of the law, gained by a study o f his profession, the youthful couple went to Indianapolis. They settled in a one story frame cottage, and commenced a career that has never since known a check.

While Mrs, Harrison has never known great wealth she has never known poverty. Her husband has been sufficiently prominent to give her a position socially to which she is in every way fitted by nature; Her polish, is, however, rather intellectual than that o f the woman of fashion.

Both Mr. and Mrs. Harrison are also prom­inent in church circles. For years they have been in regular attendance at one of tho Presbyterian churches in Indianapolis, and active in the Bible classes and Sunday schools.' Doubtless this will have its effect in Wash­ington society. The influence of the White House is all powerful there, and social circles during the winter of 1SS9-90 may, perhaps, wear a more subdued complexion than dur­ing the social administration of Mrs. Cleve­land.* Mrs. Morton, who is to he the second lady in: the land, partakes more of tho type of Hew York’s more brilliant social circles. Mrs. Morton, as her maiden name—-Ann a Livingston Street—indicates, comes from amongthearistocraticfamilies of the Empire state. She was bom,at Jfoughkeepsie, on tho Hudson, a town as noted for its educational tone in Hew York as Oxford is in Ohio. It is there that Yiissar college flourishes, and as Mrs. Morton is still a young woman, Vassar was founded not too late to bring to bear upon her through tho society of Pough­keepsie something o f the same influence brought to bear b y the atmosphere o f learn­ing o f Oxford upon Mrs. Harrison.

But Mrs. Morton has had other influences. She passed some time in Hew York society, where she met Mr. Morton. Their marriage followed. He is very rich, and his wife had always been accustomed to wealth. She is described as a Woman of medium height, ,with large bluish gray eyes, white com­plexion and gray hair. She is the mother of five daughters, the oldest of whom is 14.

SIRS. HORTON,Mrs. Morton’s influence will bo felt in

Washington society less than that of Mrs. Harrison.R Whatever be the coming influence of these two women, there is doubtless as much speculation about it among the women of Washington society as there is about the future cabinet among the men. Time will Show; hut it is quite natural that the tone given to Washington society by each of these women who are so soon to be its leaders, ■will be a blending o f the individuality of both, as shaped by education, and previous social surroundings.

T H E ALGONQUIN CLUB.

It Has tbe Finest Habitation o f Any Club in America.

Boston is one Of tbe most elubablo cities in the United States, but all; o f the clubs—and there are many o f them—have a certain fixed purpose and represent a certain class or sect. There is a. certain spirit o f gravity pervading the clubs o f Boston that cannot be found in any other city of the United States, The clubs are all eminently intellectual.

PRIVATE DINING ROOM.The members take off their bats.In Hew York and Chicago they don’t.The dubs are profound.The Somerset is the club of those who have

a genealogical tree, and the permeating at­mosphere of deep solemnity which is notice­able at this club is positively awe striking. The Union is tbe solid dub of lawyers, doc­tors and merchants; you con form a picture 'o f its gloominess. The St. Botolph is tbo literary and artistic dub, where long hair and. Byronic collars are the proper thing. It is the same with all the clubs o f Boston. They all represent dosses. Such a dub as the Knickerbocker or Racquet, o f Hew York,

' where you can put yonr feeton tbe window sill and smoke (although the dubs named are very ultra) was, until a few years- ago, al­most unknown in Boston.

There years ago; however, the Algonqnin da b was; organized.. The Algonquin differs from other Boston dubs in this, that its pur­

poses, aro very lib e ra l In d e e d ,a n d that itsmembership is confined to no class or classes m the community, as any man who is respon­sible alul honorable and acceptable in the best sense is welcome as a member, provid­ing, o f course, there is a vacancy. Descent from colonial times, wealth, or occupation have no bearing upon candidacy in this or­ganization.

The club recently built a ne w dull house It is tbe largest and finest club building in the United States. The style is that o f the Italian renaissance. Tho building is six stories high, with a frontage o f S3 feet and a depth of about 125 feet The interior decora­tion is o f an elegant Order, although, while tho effect is rich, the treatment is ample. The main entrance is direct from the side­walk and in tbe center o f the building. Ono first passes a splendid pair o f ornamental iron gates and then massive doors of English oak, and enters upon a long hall floored with marble and ornamented with dados and pil­lars of alabaster. Tho rooms aro magnifi­cently finished and furnished. Somo o fth e walls aro covered with painted French sills in different colors, and others are covered by decorated leather and velvets o f various colors, --------

Tho most splendid apartment in tho club house is the dining room, tho largest room in the building. It is finished in mahogonyof rich tono and high polish. It is lighted by a colossal chandelier, an antiques Dutch cande­labra dating from 1(542, mid ingeniously ar­ranged for gas. It weighs nearly half a ton.

There are apm-tments for ladies also—read­ing, dining, reception and toilet rooms. The private dining rooms aro gorgeously fur- uished.

One of tho marvels of this building is tbe woodwork. It is mainly o f oak and mahog­any, audit everywhere affords delight to tho eye. It were a tedious task to describe in de-

IX THE READING ROOM, tail the multitude o f apartments in tho new club house; suffice it to say that nothing has been left undone that art could do to beautify tho building.

DIED ON ELECTION DAY.

George H. Forster, tho. president of ths Hew York board of aldermen, died on tho daythathe was re-elected without knowing o f bis re-election.

Mr. Forster has been prominent in Hew York city politics for a number of years, and at tbe time of Ms death was one of tho lead­ing members o f Tammany Hall. He was a good lawyer.

Mr. Forster was bom in Charlestown, Mass., where his father, Henry Forster, was a prom- i n e n t merchant in 1S3 S. Ho was g ra d u a te d from Harvard in 1S57, and entered the em­ploy of tho Chi­c a g o , Burlington and Quincy rail­road, where ho re­mained for three years. Ho n e x t took up the study; o f law in Hew York city, and was ad­mitted to the bar.Ho Was elected to the Hew York legislature in 1S75, as a Repub­lican, from the First "Westchester district. In 187S he was elected a state senator. Ha becamo a member of Tammany in 1SS2 and the candidate of that organization for dis­trict attorney in 1884, but was defeated by Judge Martino. He was elected president of the board of aldermen a year ago, and re­elected at the last election by a vote of 100,395, being a plurality Of 18,810 over his next highest competitor, Mi-. Van Rens- salaer, and the highest plurality of any of tho county candidates.

MARY ARDERSOY.TH IS FOREMOST AMERICAN ACTRESS

A T HOME AGAIN.

A t L east A m erica W as Once H e r H om e, and She Xs S till as B eau tifu l as She E verWas—Some Stories o f Her Early Life and Her Stage Successes.Mary Anderson is again on her native soil.

Hew Yorkers are now listening to her nightly, and her London triumphs are to be repeated as usual on this side of the water. What a wonderful career tMs woman has had I

Ho better evidence of the fact that Mary Anderson is a born actress is given than the following, related by her mother:

A distressing and fatal accident had oc­curred near their home one day to a builder or workman engaged on a house in the im­mediate neighborhood; he had fallen from the roof the building to the pavement below and been killed. Mrs. Griffin andMary, hear­ing the cries in the street, rushed to the front window, and while the elder lady’s heart was rent by the sight of the unfortunate man’s wife hurrying by she was shocked to find that her usually tender hearted daughter was intent only upon catching and imitating tho horror stricken expression on the poor wom­an’s face. Miss Anderson was at that time but 15 years of age. Shortly after this she made her first appearance on the stage in Louisville.

She is a native of California and was born in Sacramento, July 2S, 1S59. She was taken to Louisville in I860, was reared in the Roman Catholic faith, and left school when she was 14 years of age. .Miss Whittier says of Mary Anderson’s life in Louisville at this time:

“ I was: at the time' a school girl and Mary Anderson was 10 or 17 years o f age. Her tall, lithe, slender figure, lacking the round­ness to make it beautiful, and earnest face that wore an almost moody expression of studious abstraction, impressed me indelibly when I first met her. On this occasion Pro­fessor Noble Butler had taken several of bis pupils to see his protege, this young girl who from having been a student under him had gone to Hew Y ork to bo under tbe instruction of Vandenhoff, and now bad returned to Louisville for a brief interval of rest before pursuing her studies further.

“ She had amiably signified her willing­ness to recite for us on any evening that Professor Butler should select for the visit, and with a good deal of interest we looked forward to hearing this phenomenon about whom be was always talking. The bouse, which has since become historical, was an

old tumble downlooking structure, w h i c h , notwith­standing the pov­erty of its furnish­ings, bad yet an air of homelike com­fort in the small front bed room into which we were ush­ered. I remember there wasrim; ppen p i an o at winch M a r y ta d been practicing,^ a n d something was said about her possible intention Of' ulti­mately going on the concert stage; for at this time her

profession was note chosen, and tbe bud of her genius wbich-uider pressure o f circum­stance was soon to burst, into full flower was still in embryo. She recited Collins’ ‘Ode on the Passions,’ \and a scene from. ‘The Hunchback,’ her mother reading the cor­responding parts in the dialogue. She threw herself into ‘The Ode’ thoroughly, and I have never heard it so well rendered; tbe graceful, boyish figure swayed with pas­sion as her genius flamed up. Her clear cut features glowed and her eyes shot fire as she sounded, with her deep rich voice, the gamut o f hatred, rage and despair. When she; bad finished, her little audience sat speechless with an awe strnck wonder,, and 1 went

nome wild-with- enthusiasm for this g irl who had been a sort of revelation to me. Two weeks later sho made her debut before a Louisville audience.”

She declared afterward that Romeo’s hands were in such a cold perspiration that "she bated to catch hold of them, and that lie breathed so bard in tbo more exciting pas­sages that she was afraid he would blow her away. Mr. William Griffith was the Romeo.

Mary Anderson’s lifo in London is perhaps tho most interesting part o f her career as an actress. She likes London, but declares that she will always- remain an American at heart. This is somewhat inconsistent with tho uncontradicted statement that she has been naturalized and is now a British sub­ject. She has a private residence in South Hempstead, about five miles away from tbo theatre. There she lives daring her London engagements. The house is a dark red brick modern structure. From its windows nearly all of London can bo seen on a clear day lying below. It is in the midst o f ample grounds and is abovo the fog line. Tho house is handsome, large and well fitted. Tbo hall­way is very broad, square and in dark oak, with a great fire place upon ono side. All of tbo rooms on this floor open into tho hall.

Ono day Buffalo Bill was Miss Anderson’s guest. When her littlo brother learned that this groat western demi-god was actually in tho room and that he was to speak to him, bis excitement becamo intense. His face turned so pale that bis mother went to him, frightened. She said: “ What is the matter with yon, you little goose? Your heart is beating liko a trip-hammer,”

Miss Anderson is very faithful in her work, and during her London lifo she thinks noth­ing of rehearsing from 11 till 3:80 and thou going to tho British museum to study. J. H. Barnes, who played Ingomar with her, re­lates that on ono occasion when they were rehearsing “ Iagomar,” in one scene ho gave up bis sword in tbo manner ho had learned, standing with his body supported by tho right leg in advance.

“ Miss Anderson,” ho says, “ in the kindest way possible, suggested a change. Sho thought Ingomar should stand more erect, ■with his weight thrown back on bis left foot.

“ ‘You aro more upright, you see,’ sho said. ‘You stand firmer and are altogether liko a man.’ Well, that was a hint, sho said, picked up from a study of ono or two pieces o f sculp­ture at the museum which sho named. It shows much thought and care. I saw tho value of the hint at once, and gladly adopted it.”

T o Clean Iv o ry Ornaments.Ivory ornaments aro quickly cleaned by

brushing them with a new, not very sharp toothbrush, to which little soap is given; then rinse tho ornament in lukewarm water. Hext dry the trinket and brush a little, and con­tinue brushing until tho luster reappears, which can bo increased by pouring some al­cohol upon tbo brush and applying it to tho trinket. Should this have become yellow, dry it in a gentle heat and it will appear as if new.—Manufacturing Jeweler.

ELI SAULSBURY.

Who W ill Succeed Him as United States Senator from Delaware? -

Forty years ago Eli Saulsbury was a very handsome man. He is by no means homely now, though his features ai-e much wrinkled, and his strong opinions about a good many things have caused bis under lip to protrude until it is fixed in an expression o f great sternness.- Senator Saulsbury has been in public life for many years. He is a very bard worker, attends personally to bis correspondence, and you will see him at his desk in tbo senate chamber, plodding away, bis bands all inky, when all o f bis colleagues have fled to build

speeches, and do a lot of other tilings peculiar to sena­t o r s . S e n a t o r Saulsbury is not a bard man to inter­view, but be takes tremendous satis­faction in trying to scare you out of a year’s growth be­fore bo will com­mence to talk. In your.most persuas­ive tone you will say to him: “ Good

morning, senator,” and lie will very slowly search around in his pockets for his specta­cles, pull them out of the case, wipe them, laboriously adjust them over his nose and look you all over for about thirty-seven sec­onds, when he will say, so shortly and sepul- Chrally as to almost startle you: “ How are you!”

Then, after observing the effect, ho will smile good naturedly and talk all night if need be.

Senator Saulsbury was born in Kent county, Del., Dee. 29, 1S17. Ho attended common and select schools, and had an irreg­ular course at Dickinson college. He studied law, and was admitted to the bar when quite a young man. He was elected to tho state legislature in 1S33. He was elected to the United States senate as a Democrat to suc­ceed his brother, Willard Saulsbury. Ho has been in the senate for seventeen years. His term of service will expire March 3, 1SS9. --------

The election of a Republican majority to tho legislature of Delaware will give the Re­publicans the election of a successor to Mr. Saulsbury in the United States senate. Among the candidates who have already announced themselves is Anthony Higgins. He was bom in Red Lion Hundred, He wcastle county, Del., Oct. 13, 1S41, He received the usual common school education; after which he entered Delawarecollege, from which he graduated in 1857, and thereafter Yale college, from which he gradua­ted with high hon­ors in 1SG1. In his class were Secre­tary W i l l i a m 0. Whitney, ex-Gov- ornor D a n i e l S,Chamberlain, Hon. H o r a c e Fowler, Hon. Franklin Mc­Veigh and other

notabilities. Upon the breaking out of the war he volunteered on the Union side, and began military life as a private in thoEighth Delaware infantry. He won distinction by his bravery and enjoyed a singular immunity from wounds and casualties. In the second term o f Grant’s administration he was ap­pointed United States district attorney, and held that position for eight years, displaying great ability as a jurist and orator.

He attained prominence in political circles at an early age by opposing the Delaware law which imposes a property qualification upon suffrage. From the closing of the War he has been an active politician, and has come to be tbe Republican leader of the state. Ho has been a delegate to every na­tional convention, and is a warm friend of Blaine and Harrison. „Tke present year marks the first break in the Democratic su­premacy in Delaware since the time of John M. Clayton, in 1852.

WARM TIMES IN H AYTI.

Capt. D a v id G. C om pton, W h o W as R e ­cen tly Seized b y th e Governm ent.

They are having a hot time in Hay ti and whooping things up generally there. The population consists mostly of negroes. The navy consists of three vessels, and i f a man- o’-war—even from tho United States—should go down there sho would make things sick. There is no danger o f that, however. The Haytian authorities—that is, tho party now in power—of course don’t want to let the in­surgents get the better o f them, and they therefore don’t propose to let them have any more arms than they can help. How, that is

just what has made the trouble between Hay ti and a line of steamers from Bos­ton and Hew York. Boston u s e d t o have considerable trade with Hayti, but it has fallen off- of late years so that it only takes one steamer to do tbe business, This Steamer is called th e Haytian Re­public and is com­

manded- by Capt. David- G. Compton. She was recently seized by the Haytian govern­ment, at Port-au-Prince, under the charge of carrying armed insurgents. Capt. Compton is accompanied by* bis wife, and probably will be mighty glad when he gets out of the scrape. They say in Boston that the captain lias got too much sense to get caught in such a trap, and that lie is not guilty of the charge. Bat no one knows what those excited fellows down in Hayti may do. Capt. Comp­ton will probably bo glad to get back to Bos­ton again. But tbe.funny part of tbo thing happened, or rather didn’t happen; to tho steamer Saginaw o f tho Clyde jine, running out of How York. She started from New York, with some arms and ammunition on

and tho jlaytian officials in New

DAVID G. COMPTON.

YoriSfgetting hold of tEo information, and supposing, of course, that tho Saginaw was going to help on. the Haytian. insurgents, went to the collector of tho port and ho sent a revenue cutter after tho Saginaw. But thij Saginaw didn’t got caught. Tho Clyde lino declaro that tho Saginaw is not going to Hayti, and thoy aro real mad that such a thing would be charged against them. The Hayti business may develop into a big thing, but it is not probable. A t present it is more of a joko than anything else, although those fellows down in Hayti don’t think so.

A pretty compliment was devised by “ Car­men Sylva” for the Prince of Wales during bis visit to Roumania. A ebarado was given, consisting of fourteen tableaux, representing scenes from Shakespeare's works. Each of the first thirteen tableaux stood for a letter o f tho alphabet and tbe thirteen together spelt Prince of Wales, The final tableaux represented tho Prince himself in an allegor­ical scene.—Chicago Herald.

T H E PARNELL COMMISSION.

Sketches o f Scenes in tlio Court R oom , Taken on the Spot.

The British are now enjoying (if it can be called enjoyment) one of their peculiar “ stato trials,” of the kind that make up so largo a part of England’s political history. The phrase “date trial” does not necessarily moan that the government is the prosecutor,

AMENITIES OF OPPOSING COUNSEL, for, as in this case, the suit maybe nominally between privato-parties, and yet tho “ gov­ernment,” meaning tho party in power in the bouse of commons, and from which tbe cabinet is selected, be the real party in inter­est, In such cases, contrary to all American ideas of fair dealing, the' attorney general often acts for the party who is on the “ gov­ernment” side. The annexed engraving rep­resents the attorney general, Sir Richard Webster, opening the case, with tbe asso­ciate counsel and other “ big wigs” grouped around him.

Sir Charles Russell, leading counsel for tbe Irish members, is ono of the most suave of gentlemen, and maintains tbe most cordial personal relations with tbo opposing counsel; bub the American reader who notes tbo sharp passages between them in tho course o f tho examination may incline to consider this much liko tbo quasi friendly handshake be­tween two pugilists just before they proceed to the serious business of smashing each other’s countenances out of all likeness to humanity'.

As all American readers know , the ques­tion of home rule for Ireland has roused all the fury possible between belligerent Celt and stubborn Saxon; and it was only natural that tbe organization of the Land League and the attempts of the British authorities in Ire­land to suppress it should lead to what is called “ agrarian outrages.” And as there are always hotheaded and revengeful indi­viduals, there have been some murders, of which the most noted was the assassination of Cavendish and Burke in Phoenix Park, Dublin. Following this The London Times -published a series of articles headed “ Par- nellism and Crime,” charging the responsi-. bility fo r these murders upon the Pamellites. Finally, it published alleged letters of Mr. Parnell justifying the murders. Messrs. Parnell and Egan promptly denounced these letters as forgeries. Hence the suit—nomi­nally a civil suit, but really an attempt to determine judicially whether the Lush mem­bers of parliament have been inciting to out­rage and murder.

It is, therefore, a trial of tho greatest po­litical importance—so important that tbe government consented to set aside the regu­lar judicial machinery and have the ease tried by a commission of eminent judges.

ATTORNEY GENERAL WEBSTER SPEAKING.Sir James Hannen presides over the com­

mission with eminent dignity and impartial­ity as far as Americans can judge. He is G7 years old and a graduate of the far famed Heidelberg university. I n ‘1853-55 lie was a member o f tho commission that settled all matters then in issue between tho United States and England. He has been judge of one high court or another over since 1SGS. His associates on the commission are Sir John Charles Day and Sir Archibald Levin Smith.

The most important witness so far is one Capt. O’Shea, formerly' an intimate associate of Mi-. Parnell, and if ho is successfully im­peached, as the Irish members claim be can be, there is really no case against the Par- uollites. Tho weight of testimony thus far certainly indicates that tho letters are for­geries; but tho counsel for The Times are heaping up evidence of a general outbreak of crime following the Parnell campaign. Tho trial has already resulted in some shock­ing revelations of treachery' and malignity on the part of pretended friends of the Irish cause.

M e th o d o f D r y in g B u ild in g s .A new invention is reported for drying

buildings. A Russian engineer, • M. De Wrozinsky, has invented an apparatus for drying buildings, which is said to have proved very effective. It is hasedr on the principlo of carbonic gas rapidly absorbing tho moisture of the air, and to this end tbe inventor has constructed a closed stove burning, charcoal by the in­troduction of air into it direct from the opon through two tubes. A steady current of dry, warm carbonic gas is allowed to escape into the room to bo dried, which rapidly' ab­sorbs tbe moisture in the air, and escapes in the ordinary manner through the chimney.— Chicago Herald. ________

A COMING WEDDING.-JOSEPH CHAMBERLAIN W IL L MARRY

MISS MARIE EN D ICOTT.

T he E ngage w en t W as R u m ored to B e -onthe Tapis M onths aqd M onths. A g o , and N ow I t Is A nnounced ns a F act—T hoInterested Parties.

Another American girl has captured a bold Briton. The <bride, Miss Marie Endicott, daughter of Cleveland’s secretary of war, is of such a very “ old family!’ that the very name of Endicott raises visions of the May­flower and Plymouth Rock, the Salem witch­craft coses, the first colonial charter, and the. slow evolution o f a Massachusetts aristocracy from the hardy Puritans.- ’. ■-. £

Hon. Joseph Chamberlain, member of par­liament, the groom-elect,"is not .'yet, a noble­man, but will .undoubtedly be, as he stands

next to Premier Uafebury Til ’importaficS, though not a cabinet minister. Ho is a widower aged 52, has an annual income of £80,000 and lives in a country bouse near Birmingham which is a palace. His wealth was partly inherited and partly acquired by manufacturing. It may be added that ho is not at all popular just now in the United

States, by reason of liis connection with the late treaty on the fish­eries, and that he has tbo doubtful honor o f

JOS. CHAMBERLAIN

MISS ENDICOTT.

being bated by al- -R Q® most every Irish- v C s ? man in tbo world.This is on account of bis opposition to Gladstone’s policy of “ Home rule for Ireland.” His son, Austin Chamberlain, is quite old enough to marry the lady himself;, but be is mightily pleased with his' prospective stepmother, as ho and her brother are rather intimate friends.

In the matter of blue blood and long lin­eage the bride has decidedly tho advantage, as Mr. Chamberlain is what the English call a “ new man”—that is, he has no long line-of aristocratic ancestors. His people were of the middle class, and his father gained wealth as a screw manufacturer. The son was born in London in 1S3G, and educated at Univer­sity College school, in Grover street, leav­ing school at an early age to enter tho film of which his father Was senior member. Tho father died in 1S74, and the son soon retired with great wealth to enter politics. Ho was a Radical of tho most pronounced typo be­fore the Irish question oamo up He main­tained the most advanced views on temper­ance and popular education. As mayor for three terms of Birmingham he was tho idol of tlio working people because of bis care for tbeir interests; liis gifts in tbo further­ance- of popular education woro princely, and as a member of the Gladstone cabinet he drew' up and secured tho passage of the present bankruptcy law, which is considered a model by all English lawyers.

All this changed when Mr. Gladstone ad­vanced his home rule scheme. AVitli Lord Hartington and others who call themselves Liberal Unionists, he passed over to the Tories, and, as is natural, is thoroughly de­tested by his former associates. Political rancor has developed into personal hatred to a far greater degree than is known in Amer- ■ iea; the social lino is drawn at. the political line, and his supporters indignantly chargo the Gladstonians with having done all they could to make his mission in America a fail­ure. And yet ho gained friends rapidly in the United States, and was toasted and feasted in How York and Washington by men of all parties.

Secretary William Crowninsliield Endicott is less known to tbe public than any other prominent official in Washington; and ap­pears to bavo inherited much of tbo exclu­siveness and official vigor of bis noted an­cestor, who was governor, o f Massachusetts, at intervals from 1641 to 1G65. That Endi­cott was like tbe darky’s poplar—“ so perpen­dicular that be leaned over the other way.” He bated Catholics and Frenchmen, Quakers and Indians, Jews and all sectarians except Puritans. The secretary is also a descendant o f Jacob Crowninshield, who was- appointed secretary of tbe navy by President Jefferson, and many of bis relative on that side bavo held high official positions. His -wife is a distant relative of President Cleveland. They live in Hon. George Pendleton’s house, on Sixteenth street, Washington. The En- dicotts have been wealthy for several genera­tions.

Miss Marie, tho bride-elect, is “ tbe lifo of tbe family,” being handsome, vivacious and well educated. She converses brilliantly in French and English, is tall and fine looking, with what may be called an English com­plexion. He parents were not at first friendly to the match on account of the disparity in age, but the young lady and the noble Briton were fascinated with each other from the start, and so it was only a question of timo when “ tbe old folkswould come round.” Her friends are unanimous and enthusiastic in their faith that she will be equal to any social position to which she may be called.

A lw ays B o T ruthfu l.A Poland man once bad occasion to borrow

a horse of ex-Govemor David Dunn, the famous Poland lawyer, having to ride sev­eral miles to see several people. He made the trip, returned, drove to the governor’s house, found no one at home, put the horse in tho stable and then went to the store, where ho found tho old Democratic leader talking with some friends.

“ I put tho horso in your stable and fgd him.”

“ AH right.”“ How, what’s the bill?”“ Where did you go?” •“I first vent to Deacon Smith’s.”“ How far do you call that?”“ Three miles.” .. .“ I know better; it is three miles and a

half.”“ Well, call it so. Then I went over to my

brother’s.”“ How many miles does that make?” “ Seven.” .‘ ‘It’s all of eight. ”This examination continued until the entire

route had been covered,-when the man who borrowed the horse said: “ How, governor, what is the bill? Tell me, and if I ’ve got money enough I'll pay it now.”

“ Tho bill?” said the governor; “ I don’t want anything. When you want the horse take him. I didn’t care- how far you went, but when you undertook to tell me I couldn’t afford to bo cheated in the miles.”—Lewiston (Me.) Journal, ‘ .

“ C o c o n u t , N o t “ Cocoanut.”It may interest readers to know that a

recent number of the new - quarterly, Annals of Botany, contains a short article by Professor Bay ley Balfour upon the correct spelling of this word. H e shows that etymology and early authority alike make ‘ “ coconut” the correct form, for the fruit o f the coco palm, and that “ cocoanut” is merely a relic o f the igno­rance of those who supposed cocoa and chocolate to be obtained from the coco­nut. This ' “ ignorance, madam, pure ignorance 1” was unfortunately shared by Dr. Johnson at the' time when he prepared his “ Dictionary,” and although he afterward learned otherwise, and in his “ Life of Drake” correctly Wrote coco, plural cocoes, this was after the publication of the last edition o f the “ Dictionary” in his lifetime, so that he had no opportunity o f correcting his un­fortunate and misleading error.

Botanists, however, long continued to use the correct form—some have never ceased to do so— and Professor Balfour now calls upon them to unite in ban­ishing the blundering "“ cocoa nut,” and in putting an end to a mischievous con­fusion between coco, cocoa and coca, which are the three entirely distinct veg­etable. products. For coco he is able to cite not only Dr. Johnson’s ow n use as opposed to his Dictionary, but the use o f the laureate, w ho in “ Enoch Arden” writes:

The slendor coco’s drooping crown o f flowers.Dr. Murray is also quoted as writing,

’ “I shall certainly use coco in the dic­tionary,” and treat cocoa as an incorrect by form .—Notes and Queries.
