Seventy miles from the shore la San

cluster around the Bay of Banta Barbara,
California. It Is celebrated for having
been the residence for eighteen yetrs of
"Tbe Lost Woman of San Nloolas."

facts about her as I found them to be,
without any added ornament, and leava

Ths Islsndol Sen Nicoles waa once
densely populated. This it attested
by tbe skulls and bones and other evi
dences ol human aboJs that are lonnd
there. The Alaska Indiana frequently
visited tho Island to hnnt for thefnrsof
the sea ctler. They took their women
with them on these hunts, and on retnrn-
leg alter the hunt was over they left them
on the island to their fats. By order .of
the government In 1835 the Indians war#
removed Irom tbe island. Just before they
were to embark, and carry sway every
human habitant, as It was supposed, a
white Indian woman begged for the privi
lege of going ashore (or her child, which
she haiVaocldentally left She was goat a

San Nicolai, hot tha boat brooming
seaw.<rthy aha was left to har fata. It waa
generally known that thera waa a woman
abandoned on tbe Island, hot no attempt
was made for her deliverance. As the
srorld soon forgets, eo the sroman o( 8an
Nicolas waa forgotten and tha year passed
away. After a lapse of sixteen years a
man who landed on ths laland found that
It was Inhabited by soma one. The foot
prints of a human being sunk deep in tbo

New York Herald.
Tbe teal of Mr. Talmtge, tha Brooklyn
preacher, sometimes impels him to hasty
a'sartions which are incorrect. An In-
•tance occurred on Sunday in an intemper
ate aermon he preached against the nsa ot
tobacco. Seeking the aopport of g»eat
names for his prohibitory theories, he dial
that of Daniel Webster. But tbe fact !•
that Mr. Webiter used tobacco moderately
(or smoking, and seen (or chewing, dur
ing the greater part of his life, and was
guilty of tome ver.es in praise ol II. In
nia old age Mr. Webster's favorite prepara
tion for chewing was called "Andereon'e
Solace.”
On September 22, 1801, Mr. Webster
wrote m foliowa to hit frtend and class
mate, Mr. Bingham:

recognize, for ba confesses to having been
a prolate smoker himself:

“Don’t you know any better. Mr. Potte,

of yonnetf, sir. You get worse and worse
every day."
"You don’t know wbat yon are talking
about, Mrs. Potte. When I buy 250 or

“I should think you'd feel Uke an

Mr. Talmage should take care to be lest

tobacco. To cite a man who not only
smoked, bat occasionally chewed and

■neenex'a Cat.
Bill Nye.
Bnt I was going to epeak more in par
ticular about Mr. Sweeney’s cat. Mr.
Sweeney bad a large cat named Dr. Mary
Walker, ol which be was very fond. Dr.
Mary Walker remained at tbe drag store
all the time, aud was known all over St
Paul as a quiet aod rtterved cat If Dr.
Mary Walker took in tha town after office
hours nobody seemed to know saythlog
about It. Bhe would be around bright and
cheerful the next morning and attend to
her duties at tbe store Just as though noth
in* whatever had aver happened.
One day last summer Mr. Sweeney left a
large plat* of fly paper with water ou ti in
th* window, hoping to gather In a tew
quarto ol flea In a deceated state. Dr.
Mary Walker need to (o tot bis window
daring tbe afternoon and look oat on the
busy street while she called np pteesant
memortea other past life. That afternoon
she ttin*ht the would call op some more
memoriae, so the went over on Ihe coun
ter and from there Jumped down on tbe
window-sill, landing with all four teat lu
the plate of fly paper.
At first aha regarded II as a Joke and
treated th* matter very lightly, but later
on she observed that ths By paper stuck to
bar teat with great tenacity of purpose.
Those who have never seen the took of
surprise aud deep sorrow that a cat wears
when sb* finds barrel! glued to a whole
shea! of fly-paper cannot fully appreciate
the way Dr. Mary Walker felt She did
did notdaah widely through a *150 plate-
-lass window, is soma cate would have

In the coolest manner, though you could

doing ao ah* mad* a great mlatak*. Tbe
gaitura re- tilted In gtuirg tba fly-paper to
her person In such a way that the eJge
lamed up behind in the most abrupt
manner, and caused her great inconveni

Bom* on* at that moment laughed In .

Then sh* want away. Bho dll not go
