H Haynes - A HORRIBLE NISHT. Miss St. George Hussey’s Firat Experience on & Sleeping Car. s T » From the Kans g Times.] ~ Miss St. George Hussey, ot the ‘Big Four company, isa remarka i hle woman, who has seeu a great deal of the world. She is Irish by birth, and hasbeen on the stage Laince a child She is the only wo ‘man in America who suceessfully ‘impersonates an Irish male charace ‘ter. She is thoronghly eonversant ‘with afl the standard plays, having } for many years been a stock mem-= ‘ber of European dramatic compa ‘nies in which 'she was recnznized ‘aB 4 more thani ordinary efficient ‘memher- owing to her csfiahi!ities of assuming any sort of character either male or female. She has impersorated every character in the *‘Colleen Bawn,” and days gone by played lewding parts in many of Boucicault’s plays, and supported that sctor in his early ca reer. Her Irish impersonations of male characters are remarkable. After making a decided hit hefore a eritical Dulilin audience some vears ‘ago, she m-:da that line her specialty and has followed it ever since. Oifthe stage Miss I'ussey (who is now the wife of Chus. H Loraire, of Wilson & Runkin's minstrels) is a jolly, wholes iled woman,liked by every one. Having traveled all over the world she is able to tell a good many funry and interesting storics of her varied experiences, the fun piest ot which, perhaps, is her first experience in a Pullman sleeping car. | “It Wwas the day after my first arrival in Ameriea,” said that lady the other day, ‘‘when | engaged a berth in a sleeper geing trom New York to Providence. I held my ticket for a bed, and just be- | fore train time T applied to the conduetor to show me te the ladies | compartments, I remember the | conductor very well, and he was a! real decent looking sort of u fellow who took-me cordially by the hand and ushcred meinto the car. Thel first thing I knew I was surrounde ed by alot of men—men, mind you, who were pulling and tu:- ging away, and rapidly divesting themselves ot all their clothing. ‘Good God,’ eried I, seizing the conductor by the arm, ‘I want the ladies compartment; what do you marie, gur, by showing me among a lot of scalawags loike that, you' miserable scamp? Take me out o’ this,’ l ‘The eonductor assured me it was all right and tried to explain my position, but a divil bit of it would I have. “See here,’ I eried, ‘I have paid for a bed in the ladies’ compartment, and I dow’t propos: to go to bed with a lot of mien. 1 am a respectable woman, do you hear!’ Immediately everybody in the car began lauhing,and a young woman stuck her head from behind a pair of curtaing and tried to con sole me. ‘Git out,”sez I to her, ‘sure and you are mo better than the rest of 'em. Ain’t you ashame to sit there " without any clothes? The woman’s brazenness shocked me g 0 completly, and I started to leave the place when the train pullei out. ~ **‘There is your bhed. mum,’ says the condu:tor, spreading a pair of curtains and revealing a litcle cot searcely big enongh for ~acheese box. * ' *Great Scott!' ] asked, you sure ly don’t expect me to slape in there, do you?” I was dumfonnded, and stoo sta.ing ai the shrimped up bed, whena dJirty little suip op | posite to me pulled off his pants right before my very eyes. I had i_hamd enough about the cheek of ‘the yankees, but that surpagsed a'l my fancies. I hopped into hed to protect. myselt, .and. lay there }\re nbling likea seared cat, I did ‘l7t stop my tongue, however, for Tcontinued to light into everbody around me. , “The next thing I knew a bic pair of stockinzless feet loomed up before me, and a fellow stuck his head out from above and toll me to ‘shut up.” ‘Get ont o’ that, you wreteh!” I yelled. ‘Wot are you doin’ 11 my bed? Get out or Il lh_reak every hone in your body!’ ; But the tellcw onlv laughed and erawled back into hisplace. O, it was a horrible night fur me, and I wished mvself well back in Ireland Atlast Ifell into a restless doze, from which I w's awakened by a gover» hump, The train had stop ped and T was pitched against the wall as if T was a log of wond. The next morning the horrors were renewed, The beastly men hegan dreszinz around me,and then a great big, black hand fereeped through the curtaine and grabbed me by the arm T thought it. was eatin sure evough, but it was anly the porter, who wanted to make my bed. We reached Providence atlast, and T tell yoi my hoys, i left that hlackguord placein a hurs rv. Tintended to report the whole thin> to the police. but findinrz' triends, thev explained the affair: to me, and T survived the exper ience of that horrible night. *Of eourse the whole thing looks very ridiculous to me now, that I have hecome aceustomed to sleep ers, and I often think of the holy show I must have made of myself. ‘ Advice to a Young Man, My boy, when you meet & good hearted, genid fellow, open-hand - ed and generous. who spends |is money freely when he has it, who “doesn’t know the value nfmoncy.'l who only esteems it for the good it ean dn, who helieves in the lives | 1y shillinv, and alwiys does his I best to make it lively, who can’t hoard up monay for the life of lnm ! who gets it and spends it, and then gets more to spend, so that all of us mav cet a little ot it, who doesn’t put down every cent he lets a friend have, as thouch he was a money lender, who, if he has only slin the world let you have 90c. of it it you nsk for-it; a goorl,i whole-gouled, gererous fellow, whol knows no more ahout money than s ‘ piz does about Greek, and he is a little hard up, and wants to borrow slo,of ybu for a few days my hoy don’t you lend him a cent; don’t lend him a cent.

PICKETT'S WIDOW, The Heroism of a Soldier's Bride— Her Later Struggles for Sus~ tenance. The recent recovery. in this city,l from a severe illness of the late Gen. Georze E Pickett recalls one of the most interesting stories that comes back to us from the war. Its chief interest is her flagging de votion to her husband in all the hours of his hardship and danger. Priva ion, sickness or suffering of any kind only served #8 bring out more beautifully her heroic and womanly pature. During the closing year of the war she lollow - ed him on the battle-fields, lived under canvae and went through camp-life like a goldier, beinz re peatedly under fire and wuking narrow escapes yet still remaining faithfully by his side. When she married him she was but 15 years of age, beantiful in face and form, gitted in intellect and gentlein her nature, She was,too,a perfect and fearless rider. When the wor was over an effort was made to take from Gen, Pickett the privileges given him by the Grant- Lee cartel, and they went to Canada. There they had uo friends no money, and no pros pect of either, with a young child to care for But her brave nature never faltered. With that indom itable courage which never desert ed her, and aided by her supe ior edueation she obtained a professor ship in belles-lettres, and took care of the family until General Grant isisted that the cartel should be kept and they once more returned to their home. Gen. Graut then tendered General Pickett the posi tion of marshall of Virginia, but he accepted a positoin o an insurance company, with a handsome salary attached. Though all then seem ed hight, the, worst sorrow was yet to come * In a few years Gen eral Pickett died, and she was left to her own resources. It was then that her he'pless condition aroused the sympathy of the south, and a subscription was started for her, headed with eight thousand dol | lars by one State. She firmly de clined to receive thie, upon hear ing of it, and shortly afterwards} secured a small governmeut posi tion, sufficient to support herselt and family. among her friends and visitors here are some of the jeads ing society and official people. whom she oc asioually entertain in a modest but dignified way.-- Washington Special to Baltimore American.
