Bright Points in Washing
ton Life.
A bright little soul, who support
ed herself in the departments for
some time, is Miss Serita Brady,
whose charmingly entertaining let
ters to newpapers have familiarized
her to many firesides. She is
somewhere in the youthful twenties,
on its sunniest slope, with small,
round, well-formed figure, eyes flip
of life and light, and conversation
sparkling with bon mots. She left
her- desk over a year ago to try her
fortune in journalistic fields, but
with the promise that if unsuccess
ful she emid return to tho protec
tion of Uncle Sam’s rooftree.
She was visiting some friends ift
New York who were personal
friends of A. T. Stewert, the Prince
of Dry-Goodism. Her friends and
self were invited by his Highness to
visit his palace prior to its grand
opening. Miss Brady, pencil and
note book in hand, accompanied the
party from basement to Mansard
roof, listening attentively to every
thing said and shown, and after
reaching home went to her room
and wrote a very interesting letter
of all she had seen and heard. She
then enclosed the MS. to Mr. Stew
art, and asked him if the statements
therein contained were correct and
satisfactory, and whether ho would
object to her using them for publi
cation. The reply of the veteran
millionaire was characteristically to
the point. Expressing his pleasure
at tho charming manner hi which
she added bistre to his name and
business, lie begged her to accept a
slight testimonial of his esteem in
the shape of a SIOO bill.
Miss Brady’s mother was a Cuban,
and the little lady herself first saw
light yuder the tropical skies,
which two facts account for the
glowing depis of her dark eyes and
her versatile fancies.
Auiorg the guests accommodated
at Mps. \\ T obb’s house in George
town was a certain legationist, Ba
ron You Havre by name. He pass
ed through the Departments one
day on an inspecting tour, along
with a party of friends, and was ar
rested by tho sight of a fair, sweet
face crowned with it golden glory,
bending industriously over some
piece of writing. He looked so
long that his companions chaffed
him upon his sudden smite. He
returned after a few hours spent
with his friends, and inquired about
the beautiful girl, and was soon af
terward an inmate of her house on
the Heights. Tho half sister, who
dressed well, visited, and did noth
ing, laid claim to the nobleman’s
attention, and the mother did all
she could to assist her daughter;
but the Baron had his eyes and
thoughts for the n glectcd maiden,
who rose so early in the morning
and marketed, and made her pret
ty, f-imple divsses with her own
nimble lingers, and went patiently
through summers heat and winter’s
snow to her desk ia the Govern
ment office. So, he offered her his
hand, his heart, and his fortune of
$50,000 per annum, and she be
came the lovely bride of a noble
man, in every sense of the word.
I remember how beautiful she look
ed in her tlirr.y white dress with a
silken light sheening through its
lacy meshes, and pearls, whose
years numbered as many as the
beads which formed the necklace.
I saw a picture of her, taken from
an oil painting, after -he had lived
as a happy bride and beautiful
mother in far-off Germany. She
•■M in a half covered arbor, with a
half wreath of flowers falling care
lessly from her lap to the ground.
Her arms and neck are both bare
and perfectly free from ornament,
yet so exquisitely moulded that
jewelry would merely take away
from them their beauty. Her beau
tiful hair is parted—“one V.oon
bearn from the forehead to the
crown,” and combed smoothly back
from her lovely face. She is the
idol of her husband, and tho ad
mired of all the nobles.— Chicago
Tribune.
CfU.,,After leaving a Jefferson ave
nue street car yesterday, a citizen
ran and over took it again, and as
ho entered lie looked around on the
floor and asked: “Did any one see
a letter in a mourning envelope?”
All answered “No” and he continu
ed. “Well it’s no great loss,
though I’d like to be sure whether
it said that my brother Wil
liam or my uncle James was dead.”
tfi'H' A Covington lady started a
“Matrimonial Intelligencer Office”
recently, and managed to marry to
herself the first man that applied,
which proceeding brought the in
stitution to an end.
Earl of Rosebery.
Archibald Primrose, Earl of
Rosebery, a Scotch nobleman, is
about to marry Miss Duncan,
daughter of Wm B. Duncan, of the
house of Duncan, Sherman & Cos.
of New York. The father of the
young lady is a son of Alex. Dun
can. a native of Scotland, formerly
of Canandaigua and subsequently
of Prov deuce, who married a niece
of Cyrus Butler, of the latter city,
and inherited from him about six
million dollars twenty years ago.
Cyrus Butler was a bachelor, who
inherited from his father in tho ear
ly years of this century $200,000.
By living at the rate of S3OO a year,
and by judicious investments in
Ohio and New York, he accumula
ted an immense fortune. He was
generally regarded as a miser. Miss
Dix, however, managed to screw
out of him $50,000 for an Insane
Asylum in Rhode Island, which
bears his name.
William B. Duncan married in
1851 the daughter of Stephen B.
Duncan, of Mississippi, the most op
id nt planter if the South, and a
native of Pennsylvania. He some
times made two thousand bales of
cotton per annum. The war ruined
him, of course. The partners of
Mr. William B. Duncan are his fa
ther and the two sons of the late
Watts Sherman, or.o of the original
founders of the house. Watts Sher
man was a poor young man from
the Mohawk Valley, who came to
Albany in early li e and obtained a
place iu the City Bank, of which
Erastus Corning was President. In
course of time he rose to the place
of casher. He married, first. Miss
Turner, a niece of Mrs. Coming,
and, second, a daughter of Mr.
Gibson, the banker of Canandiagna.
When Uio house of Duncan, Sher
man & Cos. was formed he was ad
mitted as a partner without capital,
and allowed the sum of $25,000 per
annum for his presumed financial
ability. lie lived on Fifth avenue,
in the best style, and spent hie
whole income. His sons inherited
a handsome estate from their grand
father Gibson. Their mother trans
lated from the Italian “Beatrice
Cenei,” a novel of great popularity,
and is highly esteemed, among a
large circle of friends. The earl of
Rosebery is a great admirer of this
country, and very hospital to Amer
icans. Ke is a daily attendant on
the Beecher trial Washington Her
ald.
Great Fishing in Florida.
South of Jacksonville about two
miles ia Alachua lake. > Formerly
this was a vast prune of over twen
ty thousand acres of good grazing
land. In the midst of it was a deep
hole or land sink, of which there
are a great many in the State, into
which the waters of McKinstry lake
situated further north, and the sur
rounding country used to flow and
find a subteranean outlet to the sea.
About four years w o tho,em!ct got
more or less choked up, and the
surplus water backing soon covered
this vast track of country, in which
aqueous condition it has remained
ever since. Increasing and dimin
ishing in area as the season varies
from wet to diy. This lake is lit
erally alive with fish. I have seen
colored boys with an ordinary pole
cut from the woods, a line not over
four feet long, and a fly rudely con
structed of white and red flannel,
catch eighty pounds of black bass
in a couple of hours. These fish
average from two to twelve pounds.
An eight pound base is common.
A few days ago a gentleman residing
in Gainsville caught and weighed
on Fairbanks scales, in tho presence
of a number of Northern visitors
here, a black bass weighing nine
teen and one-quarter pounds, Tra
diton says one was caught here last
year that weighed twenty-three
pounds. All the small streams
flowing into'this lake are also full
of bass. A few days ago I saw
three small boys standing in a
stream, about three feet wide, and
may have been a foot deep, each
armed with a piece of hoop
iron, with which they killed, in the
half hour I was present, eight good
sized bass. Another boy of the
same party, with a two bushel corn
bag, mado one haul in tho same
stream of ten bass.
BHu.Ufo difference between a boy
and a horse is thus given by tho De
troit Free Press: “If i was a horse
now,” mused a big boy as be strug
gled up Griswold street yesterday,
“I’d ho stabbied, rubbed down, and
fed; hut I’m a boy, and I’ve got to
go home, clean off snow, bring in
wood, tote water, and rock the
damned old rn h ir or two.”

“Posession Nine Points.”
The Salem (Oregon) Statoftnah
tells the following interesting story
of two bridegrooms’ troubles:
A few days since a young man
hailing from the classic precincts of
the LaCreole, applied to the clerk of
the comity of Polk for a license to
marry a young lady, which the clerk
issued. The same day another man
applied for a license to marry. The
clerk was not in and his deputy is
sued the license. The two licenses
were issued for the same girl. The
first party hastened to the house of
his young inamorata, and fixed up
in gay attire, they hastened to a
minister’s residence to have the knot
tied a in regular orthodox style.
While the ceremony was being per
formed party No. 2 came panting
into tho room, his face flushed and
his almost broken heart thumping
perceptibly. In answer to the ques
tion if there were any who objected
to the bans, No. 2 yelled out he did,
and the same time presenting his li
lonse duly issued and signed by the
county clerk. Here was a quanda
ry the man of God couldn’t get
through his clerical brain, and ho
stopped, leaving the party unmar
ried. No. 1 came to the city the
next day to consult an attorney. He
was in a world of trouble—frustra
ted in his cherished desire of wed
diag his lady-love the day before,
he wanted to appeal to the law, per
haps to place an injunction, his rival
No. 2. While No. 1 was taken legal
advice, No. 2 took the mueh-covert
ed Qoso of Dallas to another dispen
ser of connubial ties, and was mar
ried. When ho returned he found
that while he had gained his point
as to law, his rival had gained his
point in matrimony.
