The Nuisance of Travel.
Bayard Taylor,
For the lest fire jeers I hare been
waiting for the impatient* of our public
to culminate in some revolt against an
annoyenoe so small that mj mention of
it may possibly provoke a sneer—but
the endurance still continues. Would
any other people in the world quietly
bear to have, every ton minutes, a
hideous “Day’s Doings" spread over
their lane, a novel of Miss Braddon
Sung upon them, a paoKaao ut nss.y
God, gentlemen,, he is killed. Many
at first thought this a part of the enter-
tainment, but on lifting the body the
horrible truth beoame manifest. Dr.
Ellis probed the wound and pronounced
the ease hopeless. He lived for half an
hour, but never epoke. No came was
assigned for the terrible act.

his determination to “make pistols

for them, and he has euooeeded. Be*

their weapons, bnt who had been seen

ary for violation of the law of

why go on with the catalogue ? Every
body that travels knows the nuisance;
every lady who takes o fleeting nap,
even in t Pallmari 1 “ Palace" car, has
been rudely awakened by a greasy
novel flung upon her bosom: every
gentleman has been blaokguarded for
allowing his preoions package of prize
candy to drop upon the floor. I once
heard the gentle protest of a ladv, but
(he young rnfiin answered: “ Yon
needn’t be afraid of ’em—they won’t
bite you!". In fact, since the fellows
are licensed by the railroad oompanies,
they have a certain protection, and
consider themselves justified in their
treatment of passengers, who must be
bullied into buying. I am not sur
prised at them, but the abject sub
mission of victims is an over-renewed
marvel.
Maggie Mitchell Married to Her First
Beau.
The Graphc
I have known Msggio Mitcholl for
iwfttiy years, and rej rioo in her success
as a sister woman. Her artistic tri
umphs did not seek her out; she fought
for them and won them bravely. Fan-
chon she created. The medium through
which she beoame acquainted with the
part was a heavy translation of the Ger
man play. She bad not«ad “La Petite
Fadetto,” George Sand’s novel, The
Shadow Danoe—about whoso fairy
S race so great a poet as Balph Waldo
morson has written beautiful verses,
not to mention host of smaller rym-
store—was an of erthonght of her own,
and so were many other beautiful and
pathetio touches whioh heighten the
charm of this delightfnl dramatic pic
ture. Since 1862 Maggie has been
playing The Orioket, and its hold on
tho public has not waned even now.
Other performances of Maggie* are var
iously admired. The most prominent
of these are Jane Eyre and The Pearl
of Savoy, a dramatic version of Linda
di Ohamonnix, but Tho Orioket chirps
forever.
Maggie is married and to her first
beau—the sweetheart who lost his heart
to her sweetly many years ago. The
third engagement Maggie ever played
in her life was at Cleveland, and on the
first night of her engagement there
came to the thoater tho young, man
whose destiny to win her for his wife

lovely children. Mr. Paddook is a
j man still, and fortunately for
ie he possesses business qualities,

stantly to her art, in whose pursuit she
is still os enthusiastio as she was at the
outset of her oareer.
Terrible Tragedy.
The pilots of Hell Gate and Long
Island Sound gave a clambake at City
Island last week to the congressmen and
other distinguished persons residing
during the summer on the Sound.
Among the oompany was Signor Vianni,
said to be of the suite of Oount Corti,
the Italian minister. After the clam
bake and the oampany had enjo
themselves making speeches and sii
songs, SJt. Doremus tumounced that.
Signer Vianni would give a recitation

took hia puaitiuu iu tho uoutiG o! the
group, His voioo was dear and well
controlled, his gesticulation highly
chromatic; his limbs seemed to quiver
With passion, while the expression of his
fsoe was startling. He finished with
the exclamation, in Italian: “God
who judges all will judge this!" He
then took a pistol from the outer pocket
of his ooaL and, placing it to his
temple^ find. He fell partly on his
faoe and perfeotly motionless. The
spectators exclaimed, wonderfull and
applause oommenoed, when Doremus

in five minutes. The preparation may

A School-Girl's Pride
A St. Louis exokange relatoa an in
stance of the pride of a child who strug
gled to keep up appearances, in a way
that wa3 touching to witness. The
hopelessness of the endeavor was pain
fully made manifest to her by the well-
meant action of her teacher; and the
facts are these:
Just before the close of the last see
sion of the publio school in this city, an
inoident took place whioh, as an illus
tration, is more than tonohing. At one
of the rohools numbers of the pupils
were in the habit of bringing a lunch
eon with them, which at noon they ate
together. Among those who did not go
home for dinner, the teacher in a partic
alar room notioed a little girl who al
ways sat looking wistfully at her play
mates when they went out with their
lunoheon, bat who never brought any
herself. The child was always neatly
but plainly olad, and one of the olosest
of students in sohool hours. The odd
action of the child’s lasted for soc e
time, when, one day, the teaoher no
ticed that the little thing had apparent
ly brought her dinner. The noon honr
eame, and the children took their din
ner as u«ual and went out to eat it, the
little girl referred to alone remaining in
the room with her dinner wrapped up
in paper on the desk before her. The
teaoher advanced to theehiid-and asked
her why she didn’t go oat to eat with
the rest, at the same time putting out
her hand toward the package on the
desk. Quiok as thought tho girl
elasped her hands over it and ex
claimed, sobbing:
“ Don’t touch it, teaoher; and don’t
tell please! It’s only blocks! ”
And that was the fact. Having no
dinner to bring, and too proud to re
veal the poverty of her family, the
ohild had carefully wrapped up a num
ber of small blocks in a paper and
brought the package to present the ap
pearance of a lunch 1 It was nothing,
a mere rididons incident in school-
life, bnt it was snffioient to make wiser
and older hearts than hers sad.

Ex-Gov. Hershel V. Johnson is Judge
of this circuit, and it would be bard to
say whether the whites or the blacks
have the greatest respect for his upright
ness of character or repose the more
implicit confidence in the fairness of
his judgment. The praotioe of carrying
pistols, so prevalent among the yonng
men in some parts of the South, and
whioh has been the cause of more
trouble than any other one thing, has
been entirely broken up in this judioal
circuit, Judge Johnson, in his
At last she completely cured him.
For months she had patiently endured
the pangs so many thousands of wives
are compelled to suffer. Almost every
morning at breakfast the heartless hus
band expressed the hope that he might
live to see the day when he could get
such coff-.e as he u&d to get at home;
or sneh com bread as bis mother was
wont to make and bake. At dinner the
meat was overbaked in the range. To
bo sure his mother used to roast the
meat in an old-fashioned Datoh tin
oven, and the piece was alwaye done to
a turn—the last turn of tae revolving
spit. Those days were forever gone.
But he might and ought to get such a
green apple pie with new cheese as his
mother need to give him. At kngth
the long suffering wife arose in her
wrath, upset the table, sending the
dishes and their contents dashing to
bue carpet, strided over to her astonished
thsband, an£ gave him a box on the
ear whioh knooked him off his ohair,and
remarked: “There’s a dip over the
head, such as your mother used to give
you when you was a boy.” Thereafter
there was domestic peace aud quiet in
that house, with never even an allusion'
to the maternal cookery and oomforts
of the bygone days.
