ciracg«ment with the author and the Con-
Mwiium, Bill Arp’* letter* will be published as here-
II there is an; better invention than a good,
old-fashioned, home-made darkey, 1 don't
know it. It is a great treat at my house when
Tip comes over to see us. He is looked upon
as one of the family, who has strayed off like
some of our grown-up children. He was born
my wife’s property, and grew up in her fam
ily and played and frolicked with her brothers,
and was ever faithful and kind and gocd. Tip
brought his bride with him this time—his
second wife—a good-looking, old-fashioned,
middle-aged woman. Tip was dressed in a
black cloth frock-coat and white vest, and
strutted around like he was going to Saratoga
on a bridal tour. One of my wife’s brothers
was here, and Tip was unexpectedly happy
for he hadn't seen him since the war.
“Howdy, JVas Charley; bowdy Miss Tavy;
howoy Mas Randolph, f is so glad to see you;
how does you all do?*' And ne took all the
children by turns.
That night the children wanted to know bow
Tip got his little short name, and Mrs. Arp
told ihtrn as bow old Gen. Harrison iought a
great battle with the Indians away back in
1811, aud it wa3 fought near by a little town
called Tippecanoe on the Wabash river. The
chief who commanded the Indians was a
brother of Tecumseh, and his name was Elks-
waiawa—the prophet. Gen. Harrison whipped
them and scattered them so badly that they,
never rallied, and this victory gave him grei
repula ion and made him .President in 184|
when he ran against Van Buren. The polij
cal war cry in mat election was “Tipped
and Tyler too,” and as Tip was born
_t,hat time and wanted a name, his n
■;^ed him Henry—but the boys named Jim
i^jirAcanoe just for fun, and so “Tip” i#hi8
Wv 0 / day name and he keeps Iftnry
Sunday. A nickname is very jriiard
1 get rid of. I know some boysv very
bse kin to you children, who are Btujfcalled
ills, and luney, and Isham, and bit, and
Snooks, .and Hock, and Jake ; but tjflbse are
not their real names. Most of thmmid time
negroes had very classic names sncUnts Cesar,
and l’ompey, aud Virgil, aud J niter, aud
Juno, or such scripture names aidfioBes, and
Aaron, aud Uinab. The iiiamJa generally
named the young negroes and yin most cases
the masters were educated
“Papa did you ever whip 'JK> when ho was a
boy?” asked Jessie.
“No my child. Tip neve ^needed any whip
ping. Tip was just as giMd as he could be,
considering that he was always trotting around
after our hve boys, and.*r,a to do what they
Ciimetimes, but
Tip was the best of the lot. No, 1 never whip
ped Tip. I had to whip ajime of the other
negroes occasionally, for the old boy gets into
negroes sometimes just like he d les into white
folks. He is no respecter of colors. He had
just as leave burn a black man ai a white one.
But I will say this for our negroes: They
were all miguty good to our children—they
nursed you oy day and by night. Frances
and Mary loved you all, and would have fought
for you like a tigress lights for her whelps
When the Yankees rode into Covington and
took everybody by surprise, Frances was out
in the street with Stella in her arms ; and they
stopped her aud said:
“ - What you carrying that child for, don't
you know you are free.’ ’
"Hunt keer If I is," said Frances. “I’s
gwine to carry de chile—chile cant walk”
“Whose child is it?” asked the Yankee.
“My chile—whose chile do you reckon it
is ?’’ and she drew the little thing still closer
to her bosom. And during the war—while I
was in Virginia—they all helped y our mother
manage, and keep you all in something
to eat and to wear, and keep in wool to
burn, for Confederate money wouldent buy
muoh, a id it took good management to get
along. The old domes bad to be patched be
fore and behind, or ripped up aud made over
again ; and by and by wheu the coffee was
all gone, Mary parched gome rye or dried
sweet-potatoes and made cut like it was coffee;
and when the sugar gave out she hunted up
some sorghum for sweetening, and when the
salt gave out and there was no more in the
country, she boiled down the dirt in
in the smoke-house that the meat had
been dripping on lor years, and dried it in the
sun, and it w»s as fine salt as any table salt
you ever saw. It waB “nip and tuck” then
wiih everybody. Just before the war cioeed
we ran out of everything. Your mother gave
a ten dollar confederate bill for a lablespoouful
of castor oil. and twenty dollars for a pound
of sugar, and one hundred dollars for half au
ounce of quinine. In December, ’64, I gave
three thousand dollars for a chunk of a caw
just to provide milk enough for a sick child.
Borne ol you children never taw any cai dy or
raisins, until you were several years old. I
remember that the year after the war Mr.
8nooks came to Rome with a nice little > tock
of fancy things aud he gave your mother some
raisins and sue took them home and y on
children were afraid cf them, and asked her
if they wasenl bngs ! Mr. Snooks was nrghty
clever and kind to all you little rebels. He is
the same man who has grown so rich in At
lanta selling furniture; but I reckon he would
give you some raisins now if he thought yon
wanted them. He is just as friendly as he
r.-.’ed to be.
“ Well what made Tip leave you all after
the war’” said Carl.
Why, because he had a wife and lots of
little children, and I was too poor to support
them. They had never belonged to ns. A
negro man’s child always belonged to the man
who owned his wife ; and Tip's wife belonged
to a good old Scotchman, whom everybody
called, “Old Maun White.” When General
Sherman run us all out of Rome, Tip took
charge of your mother and the children, and
managed the whole runagee business. He
left his wife and children and ran off with our
family, but I sent him back from Atlanta, and
he slipped back into Rome ore night, ano next
day the Yankees took him up and made him
join a negro crmpiriy and they put him to
cooking; but he dident like their sort of folks
and skipped out oi camp oue dark rainy night,
and swam the Ouslanaula river and went on
down the Alabama real, and swam the Coosa,
and hid out by day and traveled by mght,
until he got back to us again. Thee he went
with your mq'hcr and the children away down
below C-lnmtus, where trey hid out awhile
until the Yankees got too thick and devilish,
and they run agaiu and got to Covington, and ■
then Madison, and then tock roundanre and j
flanked the whole army and got sway up on i
the Ckattahor chee. You see 1 xaa on duty in
Macon with Judge Nesbit, holding a court to
try some fellows'for treason, and so Tip had ]
to be general manager for the ruusgee family,
and he managed well. Your mother had
tered cavalry came galloping along and
told ua the Yaska bad .crossed Coosa river
down below, and wars coming to bead ns off.
So we let the hot coffee burn its way dowD,
and we eat the cold vittels on the run, and
never stopped until we got to Euharlie creek.
We stopped there to rest aud thank the good
Lord again; bnt bad hardly nnhitched the
horses to give them water before some more
cavalry came just a charging by, and said the
Yanks were not more than five miles behind.
We bounced the big road again, and Euharlie
bridge fairly danced as we flew across, aud we
never stopped any more until night, when we
got to Mr. Whitehead’s at the foot of the
Mountain. Yoor mother and Mrs. Anderson,
and the girls, found rocm in the house bnt we
men and boys tried to s eep in a big wagon-
body nnder the wagon shed; but the fleas ever
lastingly eat us all up a ive, and we took to
the bnehes and beat the pesky varmin's out of
our clothes, and then laid down on the piazza.
Next night we made a camp sot far from Da-
foor’s ferry on the Chattahoochee, and Tip
went np to a house tear by to borrow a skillet,
and the old woman was wasbiug her feet in it
and said we could have it when she got done;
but.Tip didn’t choose to wait, and fried our
meat on the coalB. That night after we had
all laid down, one of the children took on bo
about bis flea bites, that your mother told me
to rub him with some Bweet oil that was in her
basket, aDd I fumbled around in the dark and
got a bottle of something and rubbed him all
over, and fonnd oat next morning it was syrnp
of Ipeoac. Bnt it is good for flea biter, sore.
Yes, we bad a high old time running from old
Sherman, and we beat old Joe Johnston a fair
race to Atlanta. It bas been a great military
question whether old Joe ought to have ran or
not, and sometimes your mother thinks she
made a mistake; bat those wbo stayed behind
sry she oident, and so it was all right, I
reckon.
“Weil papa” said Carl “was it right for yon
to own negroes and make them work for
yon?”
“Of course it was my boy. I would own
some right now if I had my way. There are
lots of them who ought to have a master,
Don’t I own you?”
I wouldn’t own them as they used to be
owned. When they are old enough and smart
enough to take oare of themselves, and have
been trained to behave themselves they ought
not to he owned ai y longer. They ought not
to be sold or their families separated. I never
separated families, but I bought negroes some
times to get their familiei together. The
negroes owe to the white people all the bless
ings they eDjoy. It was slavery that civilized
them. Their ancestors were all barbarians.
They eat raw meat like dogs, and eat human
flesh. Some years ago I was in Colnmbus and
saw some of the negroes that were brought
over on the Wanderer. Col Mott had them
or king in his garden. He was teaching
them to work and to speak our language.
They looked more like baboons that: human
beings. In a year or two they became civilized
and made right go< d servants, and their chil
dren had sense and behaved like other negroes
who were born here. It was a blessing to
them that their parents were brought over
from Africa and put into slavery here. It is
the very best way to civilize the Africans, and
beats all the missionary work that bas ever
been done. If I was a Yankee and wanted to
Co the negro all the good I conld, I would
turn loose the law against slavery and tell the
people to go over to Africa and bring them
here and bind them out for a term cf years.
But we don’t want any more down South.
Tnere are enough here now. Let our North
ern brethren try it awhile and see how they
like it. No, my ohildren, there was nothing iD
slavery that yon need be ashamed of, so far as
my part of it was concerned The truth is I
belonged to Tip about as much as Tip belong
ed to me. He was one of the family and that
was all. But if I had my way, and was to
come across a barbarian, I would do like Rob
inson Crusoe did his man Friday—I would
take charge of him and tame him—yes I
would I Bill Arp.
A CONFESSION.
Do you remember, little wile,
How years ago we two togerher
Saw naught but love Illumine life
In sunny days or winter weather?
Do yon recall In younger years
To part a day was bitter pain?
Love’s light was hid In clouds ol 'ears
Till meeting cleared the sky again.
Do yon remember how we two
Would scare Into each otoer’s eyes,
Till all the earth grew neayeDiy blue
And speech was lost in banpy sighs?
Do yon another thing recall,
That nsed to happen often then:
How, simply passing In the ball.
We’d atop to smile and kiss again?
Do you remember ho* I sat
Do yon recall bow at the play
Throngb hours of agony we tarried?
The lovers’ Uriels brought ns dismay;
Oh, we rejoiced when they were married.
And then walked homeward arm In arm,
Beneath the crescent mooniet new.
That smiled on ns with silent, cnarm;
So glad that we were married too.
When all tnis happened I hat ]
And many a time the winter snow
Has slipped from olive elopes of spring.
And now—oh, roDesense! let us tell;
A Qg for laugh or mauls or men I
You ’ll hide your blosb'S? i’ll not. Well—
We’re ten times worse than we were then.

Judge Luzon B. Morris, of New Haven, who
has received the Democratic Lomiration for
Governor of Connec'icut, was born in Newton,
Connecticut, April lG:h, 1827. He was edu
cated at Yale College, and giadnated from that
institntion in 1851 Immediately thereafter he
commenced the study of law, ar.d after having
been admitted to the bar in 1850, has practicec.
in New Haven county. In 1855 he was elected
a member of the State HocBe cf Repi esenta ives
and was re-elected to the same position in
1856, 1870, 1876, 1880 and 1881. In 1871 he
was elected to the State Senate and served as
President pro tern, of that body. In 1877 he
was elected Probate Judge for the New Haven
Probate, aDd served in that capacity for six
years. In 1885 he was appointed by the Leg
islature of tee State of Connecticut as Chari-
man of the Commission to revise the Probate
Laws of the S ate, which revision was adopted
and is now in force. Judge Morris is now,

Atlanta’s Brave Experiment.
In one view of its attitude toward the Flor
ida refugees Atlanta is doing an invaluable
service to the entire South.
The panic product d by the present fever is
unparalleled in its scope and diffasion. No
previous epidemic has ever produced bo great
a scare in so wide an area of the country. The
medical crank in Chicago, who, claiming Fior
ida as hi i residence, predicted that the fever
would spread as’an epidemic over the entire
South, found hundreds and thousands of ap
prehensive people to lend ready ears to his sen
sational and improbable view, ard the belief is
all too general ia the North and West that the
whole South is dangerous ground until the ad
vent of frost.
The people of Rome ard the people cf At
lanta know, of couree, that this is absurd.
They know that these high and bracing hills,
nearly four hundred miles from Florida, and
a thousand feet above the tide, are as si cure
from the tropic scourge as Milwaukee or St.
Pan!.
But the people north of us do not believe it.
To their minds the or ly clear fact is that
there is fever in the S’ utn, and consequently
there is danger in the S >uth everywhere. The
eager and preoipitate quarantines of so many
Southern tours have fed this delusion into
fixed belief. A prominent merchant of Rome
told the Tribune on Friday that several com
mercial travelers booked for a conference wi h
his house abont this date had written to break
their ergagemenis here in Rome because of
yeliow fever in tbe Sojyth. And there are
hundreds of similar instances elsewhere in
Georgia.
When, therefore, Atlanta boldly throws
open her cates and invites the stricken people
to take re'uge in her homes, the hospitality is
not only etriRing, but suggtstive cf perfect
cot fltence in her climatic exemption from the
plague. The world watches the experiment
with the keenest interest, and scientists with
anxiety. *"
If Atlanta passes unharmed through this
thorough aud conclusive trial of climatic
effects upon tropical disease, the world will
know that yellow fever cannot Jive in these
Georgia hills.
A ter this, people will realize tbat if the
w:ole city of Jacksonville, sand, rivers and
people were set down at the junction of these
noble mtuntain streams, the mortality of
Rome’s regular population would i oi be
quickened to the city eexion’s notice.
And so this brave end humane experiment
of Atlanta, will work out an important and
invaluable iact to the health repute cf all this
wonderful region.—Rome Tiibune.
AN OLD STORY.
Twenty years ago, when Emma Abbott

of the Connecticut Savings IUnk. He has
been a member cf the New Haven Board of
E Incation, and has acted as its President. He
has also held numerous local offices. The
platform upon which Judge Morris stands in
dorses the President’s last annual message, the
Mills Bill and the President’s retaliation
policy; demands free wool atd a secret ballot,
and protests against ex ending to “partisan
Boards the authority to issce aud control
liquor licenses ” A demand is made for a
Constitutional change, so that a plurality
should elect a Governor. Mr. Morris is a rep
resentative of the conservative elements of the
Democratic party—a man of high integrity
and admitted executive ability. His nomina
tion bas been received with great enthusiasm
throughout the whole State.
Hjalmar Hjorth Boyesen
Hjalmar Hjorth Boyesen, the famous nov
elist, poet and literary critic, who bae gained
a world-wide reputation, was born September
23, 1848, in Fredericksvoern, N irway, where
his father, Lieu’. Sarolf F. Boy esen, was then
stationed in a military capacity, and was a
teacher of the naval academy. He was the
oldest of fourteen children. Until hie retire
ment, in 1875, his father was an officer ia the
Norwegian army; bnt epsnt two years in
America, from 1855-67. He had great enthu
siasm for America, and he made each one of
hie eons promise to spend a year here before
settling down in Norway. For this purpose
he deposited snms of money with a clergyman
in Chicago, to be drawn only by each of the
sons in person. Hjalmar Hjorth spent most
of his childhood with his maternal grand-pa
rent, Judge Hjorth, at Systraud, aud it was
there he received his earliest and moat lasting
impressions of the Norse life and scenery,
which fit depicts with much vigor and fidelity
in his a 1 Vries; and especially of the folk-lore
and bs’ ’hdr which he heard in the servants’
hall in the winter evenings. That servants’
hall was a forbidden realm which he had to
visit surreptitiously, after he was supposed to
be in bed. He was sent to the Latin school in
DrammeD, and entered the University in 1857,
and took the esamen philosopbicnm in 1868.
In 1869 be came to America, where he began
life as editor of Fremad, a Norwegian-Danish
newspaper is Chicago, and In its columns he
earne'etly defended the cause of the common
schools. Desiring an opportunity of making
a thorough study of the English language and
literature, he accepted a professorship of Latin
and Greek in Urbana University, Ohio, where

he remained until 1873, when he went to Leip
zig aid studied Germanic philosophy under
Zsrnoke and Hildebrard one year, and on his
return to America, in 1874, he was m=de as
sistant-professor of German at Cornell Univer
sity, aid professor of German literature in
1875. Ha remained there until 1880, when he
removed to New Yotk with a view of devoting
himself entirely to literature. In 1881 he ac
cepted sn iES’.ructarsbip in German in Colum
bia College, and was appointed Gebhard pro
fessor in G irman in 1882. His first novel,
Gonnar," writ en in Urbana in 1871-72. was
published serially in the Atlantic Monthly in
1873, and appeared in book-form in 1874. It
was publiseed in Germany, translated by Paul
Jnengling, in 1879 His second novei, “A
Norseman's Pilgiimage,” appeared as a serial
in the Galaxy, ard in b i< k form in 1875.
“Tales irom Two Hemispieres,” a collect: in
of excellent short stor es, were written for
Scribner's Monthly, and appear, d in book-form
in 1876. This was followed by 1 Goethe” and
“Schiller,” and by “Falkonberg,” a romance,
in 1878. In 1881 appeared “ilka on the Hill-
Top,” and the novel ‘ Queen T-iania;” and in
1S82, “Idyl of Norway.” Besides these vol
umes he has written extensively for tie 1 terary
volumes of the leading American periodicals.
All his shorter stories have been s -veral times
translated into German, a”d have er joyed de
served popniari y. Iu 1879-80, B lyesen was
again abroad, and spent the greater part of his
time ia I alv; but also some months in Ger
many snd France. He made the acquaintance
of the Russian novelist Tourgr.entlf in 1873,
ana has been in close corresponds tea with
him ever since. Boyesen is an author of great
merit, an industrious anl prolific writer, and
he has acquired a rare comman : of fine Eng

Hon. W^iam E Russell, the Democratic
nominee for the Gubernatorial office of Massa
chiieetts, has long been a leading citizin of
Cambridge, in which city he was bora on the
sixth of January, 1857. He is a son of Hon.
Charles Theodore Russel'. Young Russell re
ceived bie preliminary education in the publio
schools of Cambridge, in which he prepared
for Harvard College, entering that institution
in 1873, and gradntiA in the Class of 1877, of
which he ia still theleSecretary. Immediately
after his graduationrae began the stndy of law
in his father’s office*,iv'd also took a course of
two years at the Boston University Law School
While a student at the law school he won the
prize offered by the late William Beach Law
rence, for the best essay on “Foreign Judg
raent, their Ex>ra Territorial Force and Ef
fect.” A- the graduation exercises in 1879, be
was class orator. He received the first, Sum-
macumLande degree as Bachelor of Laws
ever given by the University. Mr. Russell was
admitted to the Suffolk Bar in April, 1880, aDd

The Telegraph.
America, the land oi startling inventions,
has jnst added another to the long list of sur
prises with which it has favored the world of
science. Prof. EJsha Gray, of Highland
Park, near Cb icago, is reported to have per
fected an invention which is destined to dis
place the telephone for many purposes. The
new instrument is called the telautograph,
and by its nee a man of business will be en
abled to eit down in his office, take np a pen
cil or pen, write a message, and as bis pencil
moves, so will a pencil move simultaneously
in the c ffice of bis correspondent, reproducing
in facsimile the same letters and words. The
mode of nsing the telautograph is as fol
lows: The person wishing to communicate
with another pashes a button, which
rings an annunciator in the office of the
person with whom he desires to hold
written communication. Tbrn the first party
takes his writing pen or pencil from its holder
and writes his message on a roll of paper. As
he writes, so writes the pen at the other eEd of
the wire. Inwiitirg, the pen cr penc l is
attached to two sniail wires, and these wires
regulate the currents which control the pencil
at the other end. But these wires give no
trouble, and the message msy be written just
as easily as if they were absent. The wiiter
may use any iaugasgi; he noay write in short
hand, nr use a code of cipher; no matter, a
fac-simile is reproduced. More than that, if
a picture is to be sent by the telautograph, it
may be faithfully reproduced. The artist of
an illustrated paper may thus transmit a
sketch of a railway accident, or any other
event, with just ss much facility as a reporter
telegraphs his description in words. The two
pencils move synchronously, and there is no
reason why a circuit of 500 miles cannot be
worktd as easily as one of ten miles. As ob
served above, the telautograph will supplant
the telephone in many ways, for it will have
marked advantages over the latter. It will be
noiseless and less effected by induction and
no m’.aundeistanding can arise in its use.—Ex.

LITERATURE AND HOUSEKEEPING.
Slanders against literary women as to their
nnhonse-wifely characteristics are refuted al
most every time one reads the authentic biog
raphy of a iamouB literary woman. George
Eliot was an accomplished hense-keeper. Ste
kept house for her father before she attained
her majority, and she excelled in the making
of preserves aud jellies, also in bretd and cake
making. Mrs. Gaekell in her “Life of Char
lotte Bronte,” avers that all three of the Bron
te sisters, Charlotte, Emily and Anne, were
immaculate housekeepers and skillful needle
women. While Charlotte was writing the
“Professor,” their only servant, the faithful
* Tabby,” was taken sick, and as Acne was
away from home, and Emily ill, Charlotte did
the washing, ironing, cleaning, cooking and
sewing for a family of five. She u-ed to take
her literary work down to the kitchen at the
isolated Bronte home in Haworth, aDd alter
nate her writing by ironing shirts for ber fa

KIND WORDS.
Fannie lived in a large city; and, while she
had been taught to be kind to the poor, un
fortunate people, she was unlike some little
girls, for she remembered what she was tauzht.
One day she saw on the street a poorly dressed
Irish sir', with a homely face, looking ar x-
ious y at the houses. AU to whom she spoke
snook their heads or did not trouble themselves
to do that. When she reached Fannie, she
t sk-.d politely,—
“Can you tell me where number 874 is,
m’ss?”
“Let me see,” said Fannie, brightly. “This
is number 10 It is a long way to 874, and
you have to turn twice; but I am goiDg nearly
theie, ard will show you.” Fannie thinks she
never wilt forget the happy look which made
the face of of her companion almcBt pretty,
when she said,—
“Indeed, I do thank ye, miss; an’I wish
tbx: every folks carried as pleasant a tongue
in their heads.”

ABOUT WOMEN.
What They are Dofog for the
Good of the World.
A WOMAN’S AUTUMN.
Ob mothers, do not fold [the hands across
your empty Up, and say at fifty “The story is
told.” If home has been so all absorbing that
outside interests have fallen away from yon,
go snd find tbe broken thread or take npa new
one, and you will soon find yourself among
the world's creators. The snmmer sunshine
went with the children, bnt yonr autumn mar
be long and bright, with real “halcyon daya”
here at d there. Yonr daughters, now young
mothers, will feel that yonr example bas given
them a larger life-lease, and the world must
reeds acknowledge its errors. The promise
for the “golden age” for women is fair, bnt its
realization will never be reached until borne
training undergoes the needed reformation,
and its girls and women e«care a physical
poise which sball give judgment to all their un
dertakings Upon the women of to-day de
volves a mighty task, bnt, when filled with
glory and honor it teems with rich possibili
ties.—Dr. Elizabeth Chapin.
WIDE-AWAKE GIRLS.
It bas heen left for an Angnsta lady says
the Augusta Chronicle, to add a very import
ant department to the curriculnm of female
education. The Lucy Cobb institute of Ath
ens has eatab ished the chair of onrrent liter
ature presided over by Miss Josephine Wal
ton, of Angusta, and its success stamps the
experiment as a good one.
How rare it is to find a lady well posted in
current matters! Each month, each day, the
movements of a literary and publio nature pass
without impressing the average girl one way or
the other. Some of them read the magazine*,
too few of them read the papers, and beyond
the poetry snaothes or fashion notes they show
little interest in either. Miss Waltohs
class of yonng ladies are led into this new snd
improving field by ■ lady of rare accomplish
ments. She bas a clear and vigorous mind, and
besides discriminating in the matter of news,
ahe conducts the discussion of all public mat
ters in a lucid and intelligent way. Already
her pupils have amazed and delighted their
friends by showing themselves well up on pub
lic questions. They can take part in the dis
cussion in the borne oircle and fiad good snb-
stitutes for themes of dress and bits of gossip.
The girl who reads the papers will give more
zest and sparkle to an evening’s conversation
than the uninformed yonng woman conld cre
ate in a month.
ONE OF THOSE BAR HARBOR TALES.
Another mildly diverting trifle comes from
Bar Harbor. Among the Philadelphians tbere
was a wealthy old man, Mr. G., who, after
having lost three wives, was suspected of be
ing in a state of consideration whether to take
a fourth for tbe solace of hia declining yeare.
His name came up in conversation one day
when a spinster of advanced years was pres
ent, who was suspected of having endeavored
to ensnare the gentleman in foimer periods of
widowhood. Varions things, kind or other
wise, had been express'd, when one lady re
marked that she had always fonnd Mr. G.
dull. “Have yon, really?” responded the
spinster, with tbe ntmoet unconsciousness.
“Ndw I th’nk Mr. G. UBed to be extremely
amusing when he was in the habit of getting
married.” The remark was received with
shonts of laughter, and, of coarse, came in
time to the ears of Mr. G. “Good,” he is re
ported to have said ; “she knows a thing or
two. I'll amnse her some more.” And be
fore the season was over their elderly troth
had been plighted.—Boston Letter to Provi

AN EAGLE DEVOURS A BABY.
Under the date of Sept. 24th, the following
cimfS from Washita, Missouri: William
Beattie lived in Seward county with a child,
six years of age, and a baby a few weeks old,
their mother having died a few weeks ago.
Saturday afternoon, 22 nit, while he was at
work in the field, a large eagle swooped down
on his sod house and carried away the baby,
which was lying npon a blanket before the
door. The little girl ran into the field and
teld her father that “Dot,” the baby had
“flyed away.” He gathered bis neighbors
and they searched ail night for the child, and
fonnd the remains yesterday morning. The
eagle, sitting near by, was fired at by one of
the men and strack in tbe wiDg, bnt attacked
them before it conld be dispatched. Two of
the searching party were badly torn and lac
erated by the eagle’s talons.
A WOMANLY QUEEN.
Maria Piam, Queen of Portugal, is a very
talented woman. She takes very little interest
in politics, preferring ontdoor sports to the in
trigues of statesmen. She is a olever horse
woman and loves tbe chase. She is also a
good swimmer and always wears a medal
which she gained ten or twelve years ago for
saving the lives of her two children who, fall
ing into the sea at Csecaes, would have been
drowned if heir mother bad not jumped into
the water and rescued them. Sue is a good
pianist, sings fairly well and is very fond of
the theater. She is an artist in water-color
painting and her pictures sell well.
OPERATED UPON BY HIS DAUGATER.
General Salomon, ex-President of tbe Hay-
tian Republic, who for some weeks has been
lying serionsiy ill with calcnlns, ever since hia
arrival in Paris from New York, underwent,
a few days ago, the dangerous operation of
lithority. His own daughter Mine. Magnus,
who is a graduate of the Pans School of Med
icine, was the principal operator, being assist
ed by Dr. Guyon and another surgeon. The
ex-President, who is over seventy years old, is
not expected to recover from the shock.
ONE OF THE OLD VIRGINIA FAIRFAXES
Mrs. Ada Fairfax, who died at her residence
in Washington last week, was the widow of
the late Charles Snowden Fairfax, who, in the
English peerage, bore the title of Lard of

a collateral descendant of Lord Fairfax, who
was an intimate frieDd of George Washington.
Mrs. Fairfax was Miss Ben ham before her
marriage and was bom in Virginia, near

A WOMAN'S MEDICAL COLLEGE.
Some years ago women we-s exc'uded from
the Royal Med:cal college, at Kingston, Onta
rio, on tbe ground that medical education
could not be given to mixed classes. The
Woman’s Medical College was afterwards es
tablished and so racceesfal has it been that a
new college building will be erected soon. Dr.
JeDnie K. Trout, Toronto, has offered $1 000
toward the fund if Kingstown will give $7,000.
This will bo done. Already several woman
graduates are doing distinguished work in In

SINGULARITY.
S'Dgularity almost always makes enemies;
it is usually credited with affectation. Car-
ij-ie says: “Affectation is often singularity, bnt
singularity is not always affec.'a'ion ” Great
ness of mind shows itself daiy in behavior—
‘its ways are wiys of p easantness ”
POLITENESS.
Always give precedence to elders, visitors
and superiors. Offer them the best seat at the
table, toe best place by the fire; and the first
piece c-c everything. Go farther than mere
form, and eee .hat fcey ate comfortable and

Birmingham Steel.
The fact that steel has been made at Bir
mingham from Alabama pig iron has raised
the spirits of every resident of that phenomi-
nal city. It is the talk of the towD, and well
it may be. If a deposit of gold had been fonnd
within the borders of Jifferson county, it could
mean no more to Birmingham than the practi
cal demonstration that the iron produced by
Birmingham’s furnaces can be converted into
steel, and that too at a wonderfully small cost;
a cost which will enable Alabama steel to be
sold in any market in this conntry ata profit,
for a smaller sum than the article can be man
ufactured at the cheapest point of production.
The people ot Birmingham may well feet
rejoiced over the resnlt of the test of the Hen
derson process. It means for tbat city the
concentration of interests, more vast than any
already established; aid it farther means that
the city will in the future realize a develop
ment more rapid, and more permanent and
substantial in character than was ever dream
ed of by the mostenthusiast'c B rmirgtnmite.
The enccess of this experiment will do more
toward hastening the development of Alaba
ma’s mineral regions, tban anything tbat has
happened in the past twenty years, and view
ed in this light it is a matter on which the en
tire state may bo congratulated.
The men who are interested in the Hender
son process are men who will leave no stone
unturned in pushing tbe prcjfct forward to ul
timate snd permanent success, and the city
which bas derisively been tenni d “Booming-
ham” will, in tbe veriest truth, enjoy a perpet
ual boom.
A Dakota Blizzard.
Little or no snow falls in Dokota, from No
vember to April. It is too cold to snow, and
the blizzard is not a snow-storm (in tbe ordi
nary senee of the word), but a cold wind
which comes sweepiig uown from Behring
Strait, with a velocity ol from fifty to sixty
milen an hoar, bringing with it a blast of finely
powdered ice. Imagine a thick fog, all of ice,
blown along by a high wind; the tiny parti
cles, coming with such velocity, sting like a
blow from a whip-lash.
Nothing can stand before it. Those buffalo
and cattle, who are nsed to it, make for the lea
side of the nearest hill, haystack, or building,
and huddle close together for safety, trasting
to being covered by the snow, and tbns kept
warm; when, if the storm does not last too
long, they may escape alive.
Yon can noi see serosa the street from one
house to another, and men bave been frozen
to death within a few feet of home and safety.
The thermometer fails many degrees below
zero, beyond the power of mercury to measure
it; only the best spirit thermometers can be
nsed for these low temperatures. When going
with the wind you are driven along with re
sistless force; if against it, yon are knocked
down and buffeted abont; unless you are so
fortunate as to find Ep-edy help and shelter,
you are almost ture to be frozen to death.—
Mrs. M. P. Handy, in St. Nicholas.
