Edward Atkinson once said that he would ask no better epitaph than this: “He taught the American people how to stew.” Just at present the American people are stewing without any assistance from Edward At kinson or anybody else. Mrs. O’Leary, of New York, repulsed a tramp who was aliout to rob her, the other day, by knocking him senseless with a din ner plate. The moral of the incident is that every woman should learn the use of the dinner plate as a weapon of defense. Gov. Lee, of Virginia, grants a condemned murderer sixty days’ respite to save his soul. The time is rather short for a man who has deliberately and maliciously taken the life of another. It may be, however, that the souls of Virginia murderers are easily saved. Queen Knpiolani’s anxiety to get home is explained. She is not worried about the revolution in Hawaii, but she had heard that King Kalakua has l>een having the “Black Crook” on a small scale at his palace during her absence. The Queen will doubt less read the King a lecture he would rather not hern - . The grand jury of Hinds county, Miss., concludes its report by asserting that God will never smile on a State that treats her convicts as Mississippi treats her. If tlio assertion lias foundation Mississippi would do well to reform her penitentiary system without delay. Georgia proposes to set the example. It is believed that if Senator Sherman is not indorsed by the Ohio convention of Republicans ho will withdraw from the race for the Presidential nomination. His chances for obtaining the indorsement ho desires are poor. No doubt he wishes that he had not mado any speeches since Con gress adjourned. Gen. Imboden, noted as a cavalry officer in the Confederate army, says that if Vir ginia’s mineral wealth had lieen ns far devel oped in 1800 as it is now there would have been no war. This exhausts the lint. Every other officer, Union and Confederate, has tolil the public what, in his opinion, would have prevented the war. President Cleveland's reception in New York State is evidence that he has lost none of his popularity there. His speeches have been full of good sense and have pleased everybody except a few rabid Republicans. In the meantime, the New York Tribune exhibits its insane ire with redoubled venom, but does no injury except to itself and its patty The Montreal police raided a house in that city the other day and captured 200 cats that had been making the neighborhood miserable. They were owned by an un married woman whose horror of men led her to lavish her nffcctions upon the feline race. Bhe announced that sho would sue the police for damages. It would lie interest ing to know what there is in an ancient maiden's nature to make her love cats. Dr. McOlynn declares that ho is not making any money out of his connection with the Anti-Povortv Society. He says that when he left St. Stephen’s he had no money, and that he has since lived upon what has been given him by his friends. He hopes never again to lie obliged to accept any aid from friends, but will earn his living with his tongue or pen. Ho declares that he will not accept one cent as coni|ien mtion for his laliors in “the cause of human ity." Henry George ought to see to it that the doctor’s poverty is abolished w ithout delay. The Rev. J. B. Koehne, pastor of a Presby terian church in Pittsburg, Pa., is preaching a series of sermons, the subject of each being one of the expressions often heard on the street. The first sermon of the series was on “Damn It.” Others will be preached on “How Is the Score'” “He Held an Ace Full,” “How Was the Show?” “Who Is That New Girl;” “Has fShe Just .Struck the City f” “Let Us Have u Game of Pool,” and “Ale You Trying to Make a Mash r The series will not be complete unless the reverend gentleman preaches a sermon on “Is This I Hot Enough for You?’ I The Penitentiary System. Unsatisfactory as our penitentiary system is there is little, if any, probability that the present Legislature will substitute any other for it. It is probable that a majority of the legislature would gladly adopt some other system if they knew of abetter come that I would not impose any additional burdens u|x>n the people. - It is doubtless true, as charged, that grat e abuses exist under the present system, but how to prevent them is a problem that is not easily solved. The tax payers not willing that convicts shall become a burden to them, and there is no prospect that they will ever consent to anything of that kind. They contend that the penitentiary should lie self-supporting, and there is no doubt that it is better for the convicts that they should lie kept employed. Under the circumstances the legislature will doubtless try to provide against abuses under the present system. Representative Schofield is the author of a bill whichauthor iz.es the Governor to appoint a warden for each of the camjis, who alone shall have authority to inflict punishment, and whose duly it shall lie to see that the convicts are properly cared for, and treated with all the consideration to which they are entitled. While it might be (sissible to secure the services of men who would discharge their duties as wardens faithfully and conscien tiously yet, unless great care were exercised in selecting them, they would soon become either the enemies of the lessees, seeking every pretext for making them trouble, or their apologists and friends, letting them manage their camps to suit themselves. The proposed wardens, in order to bring about the reform which Mr. Schofield aims at, would have to be men of strong charac ter and good judgment, who could not be corrupted. Such men are, of course, ob tainable, but can they bo obtained for the compensation which the State is likely to allow them? Mr. William M. Reese, in a letter to Representative Huff, expresses the opinion that the law upon which the convict system is based is all that is necessary to protect the convicts against abuses of any kind. It not only authorizes the Governor to see that the male and female convicts are kept separate, but it gives him power to make such disposition of the juvenile convicts a-s he may doom advisable. Ho thinks, therefore, that the proper course for the Ilegislature to pursue is to provide the Governor with a fund that will enable him to do what is necessary to prevent abuses. There are several bills relating to the convicts pending, and, in the course of a week or two, one of them, perhaps, will be so for advanced as to give the members of the legislature a chance to express their views on the convict question. Beyond the fact that there is considerable dissatisfaction with respect to the present treatment of the convicts, little is known of their views on this question. Thus far it has been mainly discussed by the newspapers. Chatham’s Public Schools. The public schools were closed yesterday, and both teachers and scholars doubt less enter upon their much needed vacation with anticipations of a very pleasnnt period of rest and enjoyment. The school year was a very successful one, and is regarded with much satisfaction by the superintend ent and Board of Education. The teachers were very faithful and earnest, and the scholars showed greater improvement than in any previous year. The jieople of this county hnvo reason to be proud of their public schools, and they are proud of them. The schools havo been gradually improved until those of no other county of the State are superior to them. Indeed, there is some ground for thinking that this is the bnnnor county so far as pub lic schools are concerned. When a boy has graduated from the high school he is prepared to enter upon a busi ness career, or, if ho proposes to study a profession, bo is ready for college. As for the girls who graduate they have more solid information and are better qualified to pur sue a course of reading, if they have an in clination in that direction, than if they had received a diploma from some of the most highly recommended boarding schools. They may not bo versed in some of the things which are regarded as important parts of a liberal education for girls, but they are well qualified to take up any branch of study which they may consider interesting or profitable, and pursue it with out much, or any, aid from a teacher. The aim of the public schools, so far as the girls are concerned, is to graduate sensible young women with a clear appreciation of the duties and responsibilities t f life, rather than finished young ladies who aro ambi tious of becoming society lielles. Mr. Brady's Bill. It is probable that Mr. Brady did not con sult many farmers about his bill relative to promissory notes given for fertilizers before he introduced it. There is no doubt that he regards it as a wise measure, and thinks that, it would lie a great benefit to fanners, but bo is certainly mistaken. AVe are always glad to lend a helping hand to any one who seeks to do something that will help the farmers, but wo are confident that Mr. Brady’s bill wifi not help them. We do not say this in the interest of the fertilizer com panies, Indeed, we do not know how they regard the bill, but suppose they are op posed to it as it would cause them a great deal of trouble and annoyance. YVhat wo say almut it is in the interest of the fann ers. If it were to become a law the farm ers, as a rule, would have to pay cash for fertilizers, or do without them, and they cannot get along without them very well until they so change their system of farm ing as to nmko their own fertilizers. The fertilizer companies do not intend to take any extra risks. There aro some far mers from whom they would accept notes, but they would advance their prices to cover additional risks. It is not an easy matter to tell whether n fertilizer is good or bad except by analyzing it. A good fertilizer may not do a crop any appreciable good, owing to the want of rain, or because of too much rain, or be cause it is not suitable to the crop to which it is applied. If Brady's bill were enacted into a law the farmers would bo certain to have one good crop—a crop of lawsuits which would empty their pockets and till those of the lawyers. Members of the Grand Army of the Re public in New York have recently suggested that if Joseph W. Drexel should give the Mount McGregor cottage, in which Gen. Grant died, into Grand Army of the Repub lic control, a fund would lie raised to main tain a guard at tho cottage and to keep it always in order. Before undertaking this enterprise the Grand Army of the Republic ought to build the Grant monument with which the New York Mar is struggling. Tim MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY, JULY in, ISR'7, Demagogue Tuttle. The refusal of the President to go to St. Iziuis during the Grand Army encampment in that city has not injured his popularity with the people. Only a small |iercentage of the Grand Army objected to his presence there, but it is large enough to have made his visit an unpleasant one. It is probable, however, that he will visit St. Louis during the coming fall. The city has arranged to extend to him an invitation, and his wel come is certain to be so hoarfelt and unani mous that he will hardly feel justified in re fusing to accept it. The jieople of the whole State of Missouri want him to accept it, and Kansas City has just, arranged to invite him to that thriving town. The few Grand Army men, who, by their violent talk caused the President to cancel his acceptance of the St. I/juis invitation do not find that their inexcusable conduct has increased their popularity. It has caused their records to be looked up, and the discoveries are not very pleasant to some of them. One of those who endeavored to make himself particularly offensive to the President is Gen. Tuttle, the Commander of the Grand Army of lowa. This man has always been noted for being something of a demagogue. From the close of the war until 1870 ho was an extreme Democrat, and was always seeking an office. He was a candidate for the Legislature and for Governor, but he was always beaten. He would not have been nominated in all probability if there had been any chance of electing him. In 1876 he suddenly discov ered that his sympathies were with the Re publicans, and he became a loud mouthed Republican. He is now as severe on the I lemocrats as he was once on the Repub licans, although nothing has occurred in the politics of the country to justify a change of (Kilitical sentiment. It is not improbable that Tuttle became a Republican, not from conviction, but with the hope of getting a big pension claim al lowed. Fourteen years after he had severed his ’ connection with the army he concluded that he ought to have a pen sion, and so he filed his application not only for a regular monthly allowance, but also for a very large amount of arrears of pension. His claim was allowed, and this man who did not discover that he had suffered any injury while in the army until fourteen years after the close of the war drew a very handsome amount from the Treasury. Men like Tuttle are dangerous, because they stir up strife and seem to be better satisfied with themselves when they have done someone an injury than really good men do when they have done a good deed. Tuttle, who did more than any one else to prevent the President from visit ing St. Louis, doubtless thinks that in that matter he did something which ought to make him a hero. He has really did nothing, however, that is calculated to improve his standing in the estimation of the public. Doubtless the thinking men of the Grand Army regard him as a nuisance because ho was chiefly instrumental in getting that organization into an unpleas ant position. Justice for Gov. Shepherd. Leading citizens of Washington are arrang ing to do a very remarkable thing. It is to give ex-Gov. Shepherd, once known as “Boss” Shepherd, a grand recep tion. He has been absent from Washington seven years. The greater part of that time he has been at his Batopilas silver mine, in Mexico. When he left Washington he was under a cloud. It was asserted that ho was the head of a ring which so arranged mat ters in the District Legislature as to rob and ruin many of Washington’s real estate owners. Shepherd was at one time Governor of tho District—that was just before the present commission system was inaugurated. lie was at that time a man of strong character, and he was backed by some very influential men. There is no doubt that he was rather tyrannical, and that he made taxes high. Public opinion was so strongly against him that it would have re quired but little effort to have raised a mob to drive him out of the city. The way he made taxes enormously high was by grading and paving the streets and planting shade trees. He became almost bankrupted by his own speculations in real estate. Why is it that Washington welcomes his return with open arms? Tho reason is that he is entitled to the -redit of making Washington tho most beautiful city in this country. He planned the improvements and inaugurated them. Washington people long since saw the mis take they made and they are now willing to make all the amends they can for tho wrong they did him by giving him a rousing recep tion. Time sets most, things right. Ex-Gov. R. R. Bullock passed through Sa vannah a few days ago, on his way to New York. He had hardly stepped off of the steamship in the latter city before a re porter interviewed him. About progress in the South, the ex-Oovernor said: “Thero is a great deal of railroad building in prog ress all over the South, and more railroad enterprises are constantly projected. Our people have just begun to learn what the West discovered twenty-five years ago, that railroads must be pioneers. You must have railroads in this day and age to do velop any undeveloped country. We have the largest strep’ll of country on the conti nent which is undeveloped and railroads arc a necessity.” About the captured flags epi sode, the ex-Oovernor said: ‘‘No. there are no relx'l flags again raised in the South. What is the use of raising them when the South has it all her own way at Washing ton The ex-Oovernor posed ns a business man when he spoke of progress in the South. When he spoke of the flags ho was doing duty as a Republican. Here is another Southern outrage: The Monroe Arlrrrtixrr says that an intelligent negro was seen in the Forsyth Cemetery on Saturday last, a conversation with whom brought out the fact that he come to the town over twenty years ago as a txidy ser vant with his young master from Tennessee. He dug the first grave in the soldiers’ cemetery at Forsyth, and buried in it his young master for whom he entertained great affection. He remained connected with the hospitals in Forsyth till after the war, and then drifted to Houston county. After an absence of twenty years lie had returned to look upon the grave of his former friend. He said that the citizens at Forsyth kept the cemetery in good condi tion, but that he intended to take care of his young master’s grave himself. The four G. A. R. pasts at Utica, N. Y., did not go t< p Clinton upon the occasion of President Cleveland’s recent visit. A. F. Rail, commander of one of the jxisfs, ex plained their absence by saying: “I think the President's letter to St. Louis made the boys feci bad.” It is likely that the same letter will make more of “the boys” feel bad not in the distant future. CURRENT COMMENT. Tho Unfrocked Priest,. From the Mobile Register (Dem.) Dr. McGlynn, as the political priest, attracted attention. As the un/rocked priest he will sink into insignificance unless his talents are re markable, and this they do not seem to be. Blaine, of Maine, was “Right" in 1862. From the Missouri Refmblican (Dem.) Blaine, of Maine, was “Right" in ISK2 and was rewarded therefor with 200 shares of rail road stock and 2,000 acres of land. Like Mr. John Sherman, of Ohio, he is now enjoying a comfortable fortune up in the millions, anil it would gratify a pardonable curiosity to know whet her lie would rather lie ‘‘Right ’ than be President. Buying More Than We Are Soiling. From the Philadelphia Record (Dem.) We are buying more than we are selling, and according to the protective theorists are going down hill on a greased way to the “demnition bow wows.” It unfortunately hapi>ens that we have got nothing much that wec-iu sell except beef, grain, petroleum, cotton, and a few other things mainly dug out of the ground. Our manufactured truck, which we are at such pains to protect by taxing consumers, is so dear that we cannot sell it to anybody. When w-e get to buying more than we .ire able to pay for the trouble begins. No Urgent Call for Writing. From the Boston Herald , (/ad.) Yes, the President, is, as they say at the South, “right smart ” with his pen, and lie has put his case well, in such instances as he has communicated with the public through this medium. Yet, on the whole, we would not ad vise him to engage in a general sj’stem of writ ing in this way. The people understand him in telligently enough now, and they are as well disposed toward him as they have been toward any President for many years. They will see thiil, he is not injured by misapprehension. Mr Cleveland has a few friends in the press of the country also. BRIGHT BITS. It is said that small bills are scarce. They certainly are with us. Wo haven't had a bill presented for months but that was bigger than we wanted to pay. —Boston Post. “Do you think,” asked a college student of a professor, “that the lion and the lamb have ever lain down together?” *'l don't know.” answered the professor, “but if they have, I have no doubt but the lamb was missing from that date.- New Haven Register. Landlady (to lodger)—Beg pardon, sir. Did I understand as you was a doctor of music? Lodger lam, ma'am. Why? Landlady—Well, sir. my Billy ’ave just been and broke his concertina, and I thawt as 'ow I should he glad to put a hodd job in yer way.”— Exchange. A Boston physician tells of a case of an attack of hay fever that was arrested by the pa tient breaking his leg. May fever victims who go several hundred miles from home to escape the disease should cut this out and paste it on their handkerchiefs. If breaking a leg should fail to effect a cure in some cases, breaking the neck would he certain to go right to the spot. Beware of imitations. Xnrrisfoirn Herald. When I was young and all was well I used to live on tick. As merry as a marriage hell Until my wife took sick. Then I was broke; my darling wife From day to day grew sicker. And I was forced, to save her life, To live upon my "ticker." —Detroit Free Press. “George," said the president of a Virginia railroad to his secretary, “are those pamphlets descriptive of the scenery along our route ready to send out yet?" “Yes, sir; all ready." “Very well, George; have the passenger agents distribute them next week, and the week after I’ll change the schedule so as to have all trains run through by night.” —lVall Street Neics. “Young Smith has compromised our breach of promise suit,” said a Chicago lawyer, "by offering to marry your daughter." “That suits me,” replied the old man. “How much do I owe you?” "Oh, about SSOO.” “That's too much."

During his term he hud hut one occasion to act officially, and then a white man assumed the duties of the office, much to the disgust of the entire colored popu lation. This spring as the voting was in progress for municipal offices, a Knight of Labor approached the colored Coroner and said; "My friend, I wish you would vote for our La bor candidate. You know we elected you last year,” To which the darkey responded: "That am so, boss, that am so: yet as soon as de first and only stiff cum along, your Knight of Labor man in the First ward pounced down on dat poor drowned corpse, who couldn’t protect his own rights, and against de remonstrances of his friends and de weepiu' of his widder and or phan children, toted him out of dis darkey’s rightful Jurimdietim.

Ell wood Cooper, the largest olive grower and manufacturer of sweet oil in the world, has been at the Lick for the past day or two. Be fore he left yesterday on the Queen for his big orchards near Santa Barbara he gave a reporter some interesting points about the business. ‘•Santa Barbara is the great olive country of the United States and of the world," said the pros l>erous grower. “But they can be raised all the way from San Luis Obispo to San Diego. I hear of a few trees in Georgia, but there is nowhere else in America that they are produced except in California. I have 100 acres now of olive trees, eighty of which an* bearing. I legan in rather a small way in 1873, and have planted from 1000 to 3,000 trees each winter ever since. It takes the trees from four to six or seven years to lear. I i*xj>ect to make from my present crop from 20,000 to 25,000 bottles of oil. Yes, there is the biggest sort of market right here at home for every bottle that can be made. California can t begin to produce the tenth i>art that is required. The present crop is very good. The trees are in fine condition, and are bearing well. I employ thirty men steadily, and a good deal of the time I have from sixty to seventy. lam engaged largely in raising nuts too. What kind? English walnuts and almonds. They are not so profit able as the olives: still they go very well with them. This year I shall raise at least ten car loads of English walnuts and four or five of almonds." A Woman’s SouL From “The Gavtrocks." “Now, Miss Pen hall igan," said the Squire, “I am glad I have cornered you, for 1 want a word. You are spoiling Mrs. (laverock. It is very kind of you to come, lmt don't condole with her—it makes her worse. She wants stirring up. I know women.” “Pardon me, yon do not.” “1 T know them:" laughed the old man. “Golly! I have had sixty me years' experience of them, and I ought to understand them.” “No, you have spout sixty-five years in their society, and you understand them less now than you did sixty five years ago. Then you might have learned, now you are past acquiring the knowledge.” The old man stared at Loveday, amazed at her audacity. “You think,” piu’sued the girl, “that a wo man's soul is to l>e tinkered with a slater's sax. It is of too fine a nature to be touched even with the thumb. When a particle of dust enters your watch and stops the hands you hold your breath as you examine the works lest a breath should rust them. A woman's heart is more delicate in its mechanism than that, and a rough touch and a rude blast will spoil it forever. You know our Cornish proverb, ‘The earth is strewn with potsherds.' It means that everywhere, in every village, almost in every house, are broken lives, lives broken by rough usage and careless hand ling. You would have used the finger glasses for a jest and a forfeit, and heeded nothing if they fell and were shattered. We poor w omen are like these same finger glasses, full of fresh and pure water for you men to dip your soiled fingers into and cleanse them—not for you to convert into bumpers to break for a wager.” Anne.

Her eyes be like the violets, Ablow in Sudbury lane; When she doth smile, her face is sweet As blossoms after rain; With grief I think of my hairs And wish me young again.

Our parson stands up straight and tall, For our dear souls to pray, And of the place where sinners go Some grewsome things doth say; Now she is highest heaven to me, So hell is far away. Most stiff and still the good folk sit To hear the sermon through; But if our God be such a God, And if these things be true, Why did he make her then so fair? w hy are her eyes so blue? A flickering light the sun creeps in, And finds her sitting there: And touches soft her lilac gown, And soft her yellow hair; I look across to that old pew, And have both praise and prayer. Oh, violets in Sudbury lane, Amid the grasses green, This maid w ho stirs ye with her feet Is far more fair I ween! I wonder how my forty years Look by her sweet sixteen! Lizette Woodworth Reese. His Moral Lecture Not Appreciated. From the New York Tribune. A fat disciple of prohibition, with a henevo leut countenance, a double chin and a white high hat, halted on Saturday afternoon in front of a group of typical New York newsboys who were resting their bodies on the stone stops in front of a store in Park Row and delighting their souls with a few choice brands of cigarette stubs which might have come ffom Delmonico’s (once upon a time). Looking severely over his gold-rimmed glasses, he addressed a ragged urchin in the group: “Boy, I am sorry to see vpu forming this per nicious habit at so early an age.’’ The infant thus addressed shifted his weed to the other side of his mouth, looked up with a sort of uneasy grin and asked: “What 'er yer givin’ us?” “Never use the filthy stuff. It will soon lead you to worse habits and will end you in a drunkard’s grave,” continued the owner of the white hat. “Give us a rest,” remarked urchin No. 2. “He's Henry George,” suggested a third. “With the money you spend for tobacco you could buy a farm in twenty years,’' went on the stern moralist. “Wouldn't you like to leave this city and live quietly on your own land?” “Rats!” sniffed No. 2. contemptuously. “Say, mister, where did you leave your whisk ers?” asked anew comer. By this time a crowd had collected, and a policeman, seeing a chance for some “fine work,” hastily made his way into the centre of the circle. “Come now. move!” ho exclaimed sharply, as he poked the fat man in the ribs. The gold bowed spectacles gleamed with righteous indig nation. “Wbat do you mean, sirl” demanded the owner. “None of that, now,” exclaimed the brass buttons. “This ain't no lecture hall. Are you going to move? or shall I run you in?" “I’ll report you, sir,” gasped the fat man. “I was only talking to these boys;” but as he looked for the hoys, amazement was depicted on his face. They had every one of them “sloped.” Gathering his scattered wits, he de cided to "slope" also, and “moved on” while the heartless crowd actually laughed. Man’s Typical Woman. From “A (tame of Chance ." “You are not at all stupid, my dear Sidney, yet you betray continually man’s inevitable coarseness of comprehension where women are concerned. You believe that one sort, of feeling exists, which is the unique and universal pos session of our sex, and that these are either jT fect or perverted. You never realize that there are women and women, and. if one swerves from the conventional, ideal typo, you must paint her as a monster. Your adored Thack eray knew no medium between Becky Sharp and Amelia.” • "Helen Pendennis and Laura,” suggested Lo throp, justifying, it must be owned, his wife's comment. “1 will quote mamma to you in answer," said Barham, dryly: "poor mamma, who is has been—ln all things a womanly woman of the dog and hickory tree type. This is what she said to me one day when life and literature had a meaning for her: ’How unconsciously a master hand often does its best work! Thack eray, in his honest effort to embody all that is good and lovely in those women, shows the ab solute bntefidness of man's ideal, the type that still rules the world. Cruel through ignorance, cold through insufficiency, jealous without passion, correct without temptation, neglecting a suffering world for the sake of a heaven where they anticipate meeting w ith complete appre ciation. puffed up with spiritual pride, yet bear log ihemselves w ith the meekness of perpetual martyrdom- they are sure to have it all their own way iti tliiß world and the next.' ” “Your mother had it in her to become a woman of the w orld—this world.” "I am not a woman of the world, but I mean to he one, and it will he quite as much to your advantage os mine. The woman of the world maybe heartless does she ever harass a man like one of the tender beihgs who are all heart? .She recognises the difference between masculine and feminine nature. Her husband lias his di versions. into which she cannot enter, and pru dently refrains from inquiring. The angelic wife weeps if the beloved object dries not give a strict account of every moment six-nt out of her presence. The woman of the world is toler ant. good-tempered, philosophical. The deity of the hearth is meek, bitter, unreasonable. The one accepts life, and you. at she finds both. The other hits never been at home on this mire generate earth, and offers herself up a living sacrifice to your predilections, with u perpetual reminder of the tael to your unworthy self. If I were a mail I w ould ’rather lie cheated by Becky than adored by Amelia. It was such clever, good-humored erenting and such 1 cnsivS uncomfortable adoration.” ITEMS OF INTEREST.

At their great Fort Worth mass meeting the Texas lYohihitionists exhibited a coffee pot which held 400 gallons of steaming coffee, and a tea pot filled with 300 gallons of ice cold tea.

A successful balloon trip over the Irish Sea lias been made by the well-known English aero naut, Mr. Simmons. He started from Preston for a short ascent, but a contrary breeze took his craft directly over the channel, somewhat to the aeronaut's dismay, as he was neither pro visioned nor provided with apparatus for keep ing afloat if the balloon suddenly descended m mid-channel. Happily the wind landed him safely in Ireland, a* a farm at Ballyboden. Rath farnham, seven miles from Dublin, after six and tine-quarter hours journey. There was born in Foshen, Ireland, on March 26, 1788, a triplet of girls, Sibyl, Sarah and Susan Hurlburt, children of Gideon and Anna (Beach) Hurlburt.

Sarah lived to the age of 95, dring on Jan. 11,1883.

TiiEonottE Roosevelt in a recent’interview re garding the Far West said; “The women who are managing cattle ranges for themselves came from all social ranks and have drifted into the business in all sorts of ways. Some of them are Texans who were almost cradled with cattle Others, especially in Dakota, come from New Eugland, New York or the States north of the Ohio. Mrs. Bishop Warren is credited with be ing the wealthiest woman in Colorado, is worth $10,000,000, and has made it on cattle. Another cattle queen who has amassed about $1,000,000 is Mrs. Rogers, the wife of a minister in Cornus Christ!. Tex., who ministers to a widely scat tered congregation. Mrs. Rogers began in a small way Mho is a fearless rider and goes over her range frequently. Mrs. Massey, now a widow, went to Colorado as agent for an insur ance company, married a man with 150,000 head of cattle, and it is said manages them quite as well as lie did. Mrs Easterly, of Nevada, has not a large herd, but her stock is of a lino grade. She is worth $000,000.” "A strango scene," says the London Daily Telegraph, “occurred the other day at a mat ince performance, and one full of suggestion. A young lady—Miss Houliston—by no means de void of taient, was ambitious enough to produce an English version, by Mr. Richard Davey, of Victor Hugo's 'Marian Delorme,’ played last in Paris by Sarah Bernhardt, but always in recent times identified with the best days'of Favart. Miss Houliston, up to a certain point, was succeeding very fairly indeed under the circumstances, when suddenly tile au dience perceived that the debutante was bathed in tears and suffering from violent in rioUH emotion. The play w ent on as best it could, and at the close the author, with generous chivalry, ventured on an explanation. Incredible ns it may appear, he stated that, tim ing the performance, some spiteful person had sent round to Miss Houlistera letter—of course, an anonymous one—declaring that the actress was making u sorry exhibition of herself, and was being heartily laughed at by every one iu front. The letter, obviously written before the performance began, was deliberately Intended to unnerve the actress, and to stamp her ambi tious effort with failure." Ik n Toledo letter to the Cleveland leader the following incidents of Chief Justice Waite's career are told: "When lie practiced law in Ohio he charged too little for his services. For the writing of a brief at the request of the Defiance County Commissioners In a cast- involving $15,000 he charged only SSO. His brief settled the ease, and had il been written by other law yers of equal note the charge would have been SI,OOO instead of SSO. Representative Hill is quoted in the same letter as giving the following explanation of how Mr. Waite came to be appointed Chief Justice: “Grant was traveling over the United States, and when he came to Toledo a reception was prejtared for him. The committee on arrange ments was composed of Waite's friends, and they wen-anxoiw that Grant should ariiioliit Waite to his present position. They said noth ing, however, arid had Waite make 'the address of the occasion. He did this in n masterly man lier, talking to Grant as iieoaine his office, lint not overflowing with tin- nauseous adulation which was so common to Grant's receptions at that time. Grant was delighted w ith the effort. He bad known of Waite somewhat iu connection with Kvarte. Hi-knew him to lie a man of the utmost probity, and of no political aspirations. He made inquiries about him, and concluded that be was the proper man to take the place left vacant by Chief Justice Chase.” BAKING POWDER.
