New York, Nov. 19.—In continuance
of the very interesting study of religious
beliefs held by literary women, it has been
my aim to obtain the views of the repre
sentatives of every department of literary
labor, the editor, the poet, the essayist,
the orator, in a word, all women who are
in their intellectual work moulding public
opinion to any degree. The following con-
tribntions, subjoined to those already pre
sented in my first letter, will he additional
evidence of the deep religious natures of
American literary wemen, and proof suffi
cient that “the core of humanity is a
woman's heart,” and that it is pure, un
tainted, and full of goodness. _ In an age
of unrest and dissatisfaction with old creeds
and cold formulas, the keynote of true
Christianity is heard in the utterances of
the following women writers:
1 You ask of my religious faith. I am
the great granddaughter of a Scottish
Laird; my grandparents were married in
Edinburgh, from whence they came to
Philadelphia. Could I be anything else
than an adherent of the established church
of Scotland—in other words a Presbyterian ?
My father was one of the great lights of
the Presbyterian Church.”
Margaret J. Preston.
“My belief is in a religion which looks
into poor houses and idiot asylums and
penitentiaries—ay, and into the darkness
of great cities by night, and still believes
in humanity reclaimable, however marred
or fallen, 'H infinitely worth saving. A
faith whi. ; contemplates the catastrophe I
strengthened.”
Rose Elizabeth Cleveland.
“With regard to any religious belief I
will say :hat I belong to the Reform
(Dutch) church, and have been a com
municant since my fourteenth year. I
have been a Sunday school teacher some
thirty years or more, and am more than
even in love with Sunday school work in
its several phases. My creed is perhaps
best summed up in love to and faith in
the blessed Redeemer, and I trust it works
ont in loving deeds and thoughts to my
fellow beings.”
Maroaret E. Sanoster.
I believe that the universe was created
and is ruled by a great intelligence which
is tbe spirit of love—commonly called
God. ,
“This intelligence desires all created
things to live in harmony, industry, grat
itude, cleanliness, and unselfishness.

one of these laws, must suffer nnd cause

human beings that are constantly thrown
upon the shores of life only to contaminate
and curse, and yet which says, with Long

“Then is nothing in my simple faith
that I would not gl: dlv tell toanyonewho
would care to know. 1 think the Apostle’s

we will be redeemed. 1 do not think that
tlie mere mental assent of faith goes very
far, or at least, it is hut the initial step.
'To enter Harvard University I should
believe in the helpful power of its presi
dent and profetsors, but beyond tliis I
should expect to believe in my own
application and energy; so ii seems to me
with spiritual advancement. The belief in
Jesus is that condition which renders it
possible for him to help me. Hut in the
truest and fulle. t sense i believe that each
soul must work oin its own saivaiiun; ihai
immortality ia to some extent an achieve
ment; that some are more immortal than
others. 1 believe James Freeman Clarke,
for Iv"n>_ entered into a vaster immor
tality at his death, than a criminal, or
even an honest, hut very crude and ignor
ant, man. I believe in what perhaps you
will permit me to call spiritual spiritual
ism; the probability of mental communi
cation between the embodied and disem
bodied in the way of silent influence and
direction, a communication recognized
only by the spirit, and therefore not de
monstrable by material proof. I think
the jiower to receive this is largely tem
peramental, and while some may be fully
conscipus of such aid and companionship,

Church since early girlhood and am now a

“With all this belief, I find much in
theosophy that I intuitively accept, ar
mystic truth, and I am profoundly inter
eated in many phases of its presentations.
“I believe the event we call death is far
less of a change than has been, in older
ages, believed. To ms it seems but the
opening of a door—s transition—and per
haps it ia but one of many auccessive
changes in the periods of immortal life.
I believe we must achieve an]immortality
now and here, that we must be immortal
now, by living spiritually, and not only
materially; that we must carry the ideal
Christian spirit into the actual daily life,
and show our faith in God, our love for
Cbrist, ‘not only with our lips but in our
lives,”—yes, by ‘giving up ourselves to
Thy service and by walking before Thee
in righteousness and pureness of life,’ and
I believe we cut give ourselves to His ser
vice just as truly in every ordinary voca
tion as could be dene by the purely con
templative life, to which some individuals
are certainly called.

“Bless me, what a notion! My dear
child are you erszy? Do you think that
we doctors go around with onr taws in our
bauds ready to shave people down to just
the proportions they may choose for the
moment?”
“But, doctor,” petulantly resumed the
pampered pet of an old millionaire, “I’ve
read in some newspaper that doctors now
cut out the cartilage, or whatever you call
it, of the nose, and then, by putting it ill
a plaster cast, it can be made to grow into
any shape desired.”
“Physicians do a great many tilings
when necessity compels them, and notes
have been cut when disease made it com
pulsory, and, as you say, plaster casts have
been used, but no sane person except your
self ever came to a physician on such an
errand. It’s preposterous, little one; really
preposterous. Run off for a walk and
don’t bother your pretty head about such

And as Miss Murray Hill fleunced out
of the office the long-headed old doctor

“I’ve never known of a man with a big
nose who wasn't smart,” said a professor
in Bellevue Hospital college when spoken
to on the subject.
The great Napoleon’s nose was big.
Gladstone’s nose is big, but it ends in a
sharp point. Bismarck lias a big nose
that is, however, almost flat on the end.
Gen. Grant’s nose was not too large, but it
was large enough to be prominent.

“If we look at the nose of a lower ani

the nose of the cat family—the hyena, the
wildcat, the common cat—and wherever
that peculiarity found tho same nature is

sometimes I think otherwise. I come of

two hundred years and more, and I am of

The democratic contention waa right—

that the wrong argument won. Now, with
new forces enlisted, there is a necessity of

must march. One thing is assured. The
young men who learned that the republi
can party had deserted its principles, who
voted for Cleveland, are now in the van,
and will not backslide. No man, once
seeing the folly and rascality of protection,
is .hoodwinked a second [time.' Even the
mill owner can arrive at a degree of intel
ligence that teaches him to expect only
hindrance from the workings ot the cus
tom house. Protection is doomed in the
West. Chicago rise* grandly to the work
of enlightening the Mississippi valley, if
this city were lor the war tanfl on its own
merits the campaign would be a gloomy
one. But with Chicago right, with the
flower of Western thought staunch in sup

need not despair of hi! country.

“So far as I have been able to learn daring
the ten days that this ship has been in the

issued on September 19 last.”
HIS SKULL llltOKKN.
Legacies of Spleen, Spite nml Whim
Which Some Men Unie Left,
From the London Standard.
Testamentary bequests containing sing
ular provisions have been so frequently
met with in recent law court proceeding!
that a good deal of speculation concerning
strang wills has been occasioned. The
Flower sermon and the Lion sermon which
are preached annually in London churches
are but mild instances of testamentary ec
centricity. Much more remarkaBlo was
the will of Lord Uokeby, a peculiar Eng
lish peer of the last rontury. He waa
the nephew of Archbishop Robinson,
piimate of Ireland, and becatn .• famous
for his long beard and his hatred of medi
cal practitioners. In regard to the former,
it is related thnt on one occasion, when
going to an election, he stopped at an inn;
where the country people, who had assem
bled for miles around, took him for a
Turk and nearly worried the life out of
my lord. His dislike for physicians was
carried to such an extent, and was so en
during in his mind, tlrat he left a codicil
to his will conditionally disinheriting a
favorite nephew if, in the testator’s last
illness, the nephew’s sympathies should be
so excited as to occasion him to call in a
doctor to attend him.
Military pride has been responsible for
strange testamentary requests. In France
such instances are, as one might expect,
more numerous than in our own oountry
of Lbs demonstrative heroes. A prominent
example of the extraordinary conditions
imposed upon descendants is that of Mar
shal Kellerman, general of the French re
public. On the crest of a hill, just out
side the village of St. Menehouid, stands
a monument to indicate the spot where
the heart of the general—taken from his
body in Accordance with tlie wish recorded
in his will—disappeared in the soil of his
beloved France. It was his dcsiro that
his heart might rest among his old soldiers,
who had been slain in tho battle of Valmy.
For pure eccentricity, one of the most
remarkable wi'ls ever written was that of
Joseph Cappur, a man who died worth a
quarter of a million, ne was a wholesale
grocer in London, and had nraasted his
fortune in the way in which the majority
of people seem to lose theirs—by speculat
ing in stocks and securitio'. But Cappur
was an astute and far-seeiug man, even if
his eccentric habits and life did excite
amusement among those who knew him.
JIc (’"ill.! afford to lie amnsed to >. He
lived at one hotel for more than a quarter
cf a century, and in that time engaged his
board and apartments only for one day in
advance. No matter who offered opposi
tion, he insisted on silling in one certain
seat at the table, drinking out of
the same cup and using the
same knife aud fork. Ho
was the ; prototype of Jules Verne’s
Phineas Fogg, in that he ate, slept and
walked by an unvarying rule; and per
haps after all there was no: hing eccentric
in that. But what he was strange in was
his sole amusement, which, like that of tie
Emperor Domitian, was that of killing
flies in summer time. If his hair was
rather scant, there was every allowance to
bo made for him in respect of his curious
occupation. When he died, at the age of
77, bis will was found at the bottom of a
box of clothes, curiously worded, and
written on the backs of a lot of blank
checks. lie had apparently detebted his
poor relations during his lifetime, but by
this strange device every penny was left
for distribution among them, rave .68,000,
which he shared between two nephews.
In his will, though he was the king of
the turf for half a century, the 1st* Duke
of Queensberry left very largo suiub to
charities, an example which lias since been
followed frequently by ardent sportsmen.
The duke also pensioned several opera
singers, and gave £2,000 for widows and
orphans of the British navy. This wus so
wholly unexpected in a man of his charac
teristics, that it occasioned great talk for
years afterwards.
Tbe slightest ambiguity is too often
fatal to a testator’s wishes. A good in
stance of this is provided in the case of
an old gentleman in Norfolk, who owned
large estates in the coc nty. His son was
an estimable man, but hit eldest grandson
turned out badly. With a desire to evade
feeding the young prodigal’s extravagances,
tlie old iquire left his estates to his son,
while tho said son’s body remained above
th» ground, the property then to revert
to another brance of the family. He did
not realize that his son’s body might re
main above the ground for any number of
years after his (the sou’s) death, but the
roguish grandson did. When his father
die ], this brilliant young grandson kept
his parent’s body out of tne earth by hav
ing a mausoleum erected over it, and there
it stands to this day.
One of the best instances of the way in
which “awkward” wills have been sur
mounted by legal ingenuity also comes
from the Esst Anglican district. A

The indorsement which Senator JohnT.
Morgan of Alabama hai received from his
constituent! is a deserved recognition of
honest, faithful auil able services to his
party and his people. Senator Morgan is
a true Jeffersonian democrat, and has never
wavered a htir’s breadth from tbe faith,
though he has had to face a fierce and
threatening clamor from powerful inter-
. sis which opposed his views, and more
than once in his steadfast adherence to
democrat!" dc c'.rine ha-plac d liim—lf in
opposition to measures which li.ul won
great favor among the people. His honest
and fearless ooone has received a vindica

When his sons heard this ludicrous desire
read, they remarked to the family lawyer
that of course he did not carry out so
idiotic a wish. “Oh, yes,” said ibe solici
tor, gravely, “I was obliged to; no help
for it.” The son* whispered together, evi
dently dheusaing the desirability of ex
huming the buried money, but the lawyer
put their minds at rest at once. “It’s all
right, gentlemen,’’ he said; “your deceased
father will have the money when he re
quires it, for I have buried with him a
check for £200, drawn to order, aud all he
has to do is to indorse it and pay it into
Ids bink. Until that check is presented
the money will lay at the bank at my
account.”

Farts Letter to London Life.
This evening l’arisians can treat them
selves without much trouble or expense to
a peep at the lilte creole who (carried otf
the brat prize at the Spa Beauty Show.
She is to be “on view" at the Divan
Japonais, a cafe at the top ot the Rite dis
Martyrs, one of those trysling | laces which
a gentleman takes care to shun. It is
hardly likely that Marthe Soukaret will
turn tho tide of fashion to this bouis-
bouis, for *he was in Paris prior to her
triumph at Spa without attractjng any
notice, although she had been admired at
Aix-ln-Balna in the spring, I am told In
the Rue d*s Martyrs she will be located
within a i-tone's throw of the singular
ihanlj which Maxime i.isbonno has set
np for what he terms fritea revolution-
iiairt-s—the application of this fashion
able adjective to fried potatoes, being a
