A Washington dispatch says that Secretary Blaine's reslgjudiurf was taken to the White House by his pri vate Secretary, Mr. Dent, who placed It into the hands of the President. This wns a little before 1 o’clock, nnd within ilfteen infinites lifter It tens written. Soon after reading it the President descended to the East room nod liejil his usual Saturday after noon reception to the public. There were about 20(1 people present. Not ohe ns he shook the'President’s hand could have told from Ills cool and col lected manner that aliything unustia! had happened. Indeed, an official of the mansion said the President really seemed to be in better, spirit.-than usual, making felicitous replies ill greeting some of his visitors. The reception over the President ne- ttirned to liis library And addressed the letter to Mr. Blaine, accepting his resignation. Tilts was gtvoti to Pri vate Secretary Halford, with instruc tions thnt it be delivered at once, nnd Jin Ilalford thereupon took it. over to Mr. Blaine’s house nnd put it in his hands. Thus the whole transaction did not consume more than.an hour’s time. THE R. A D. INSOLVENT. 1. •/ Crowded Cities of the Dead. Long Island is the burying ground for New York’s dend, nnd n round trip to the present cemeteries is now a day’s journey. But little space is left in Greenwood, ETergreen, Cal vary and Cypress Hill, tho big cities of the dead across tho East river, and if it becomes necessary to seek new burying grounds farther away, busy New Yorkers will never find time to go to funerals.. As it is now, fune rals are rushed with a haste that would shock people in slow going communities. New York is too busy to waste any time over tho dead. Tlioy are in the way and tho sooner out Of it the hotter, seems, to lie the idea hero. Hearses are driven tit u swift trot from church to cemetery, and there is often an exciting race between funeral processions to bo (irst on board tho ferry boat.

An AkIoiiIhIhmI.l*rliioenn. Mr. George Manners, nbphbw -of tlie Duke of Rutland, tolls the fol lowing good story of H, R, H. the Princess of Wales: Tho prince and princess paid a visit to longshnw (the Derbyshire shooting box) in 1875. Tho latodukehad u favorite retriever called Prince. One night at dinner the conversation turiled bn his dog and tho duke said that lately he hod not been behaving well. Tho subject dropped. Next day tho princess camo out to luncheon ,\yith, the ^hoot ers.

Pretty will, I hope?’’ “Very bnoly, indeed, nm’iuti,”’ tho dulco replied; "He won't pick up his birds. If he doesn’t beli«.ve better after luncheon I will send him homo." The princess was naturally astonished, but she said nothing and w6ut on to luncheon. A little later the duke whs informed that it was the priheo that had been inquired after—not fte dog—and so hastened to make fils apologies.— Manchester (England) Times.

' “ AND A RECEIVER IN AHKED FOR. ■- , - ; Pt-HfiiCul Comer, of Ihe Cenlrnt, Filer a Bill Before Jud|c Speer. Judge Speer is still the official me dium of railroad sensations in Geor gia. The latest case before him is a bill for a receiver for the Richmond and Danville. Judge Speer passed an order on Saturday, and the papers have been served on the agent of the Richmond and Danville at Augusta. President Comer, , of the Central, swears to the bill. He swears that the Central was leased to the Georgia Pa cific, an insolvent company, in order that the Central might be dismantled and robbed by the Richmond and Dan ville. v It is further claimed that the Rich mond and Danville has damaged the Central two and a half million dollars, and the details are set out in the bill. The lawyers who represent the Cen tral are Lawton & Cunningham and Adams, Denmark and Adams, of Sa vannah, and Marion Erwin, of Macon. The bill was served in Augusta be cause there is no agent of the Rich mond and Danville in Savannah or Macon. The bill alleges that the Richmond and Danville is insolvent. It looks like the worm lias turned and that the Central is about to get the Richmond and Danville on tlie run. The case will be heard June 25. Thing! Useful ts Knew. from Good Housekeepins.

It Is frequently stated that granite ironware cannot be mended after it leaks, and so must be thrown away. But in fact it is quite possible to mend it in the same way as tin, by soldering. The Bath Signal. At a Turkish bath in Paris a visitor patiently submitted to the various operations of nibbing, kneqding and pummeling comprised in thistroat- ment. When the shampoo was over the attendant dried him with a towel, after which he dealt the patient three heavy find sonorous blows with the flat of the hand. “Mille tonnerres I" the victim ejac ulated; "what did you strike me fort” ‘Ah I monsieur, don’t let that trouble you," was the reply; "it was only to let the other/man know that I have done with you, nnd that he is to send me the next customer. You see, we haven't a bell in this room.” —Siecle, What Meerwiheum Really I*. There is a very general impression in the minds of smokers that the meerschaum part of the pipe, which they treasure so carefully and take so much pride and satisfaction in “coloring," is compressed sea foam. Such, however, is not the case. The German word meerschaum means in English foam of the sea, but its for mation has nothing to do with the sea. It is a kind of clay, comes out of mines like coal and is found only in Turkey.—New York Times. Two CImmi of Parent*. Parents may be roughly divided into two classes—those, to use a pro verbial expression, to whom all their own geese ore swans; and those who are persuaded that their swans are geese.

Well, I should say sot AU of mine, all of my wife’s and atflnt Jf,{)00 that I got from my friend." A musical. prodigy has been discov ered at Albany, G*., in the perm of Tom May, who can reach low P, and A King Vhose Sole Ambition lYu to M ko llolouteblo Smteegeit. Cbai'li i VI, king of Spain and tlie Indies, tad a brother named Don Antonio who excelled as an amateur sausuge maker, and after awhile nothing would please tho king but that he. too, should he initiated into tho secrets of the wonderful art. He hoped ultimately, he said, to produce sausages which should rival, nay, even excel, his brother’s. Accord ingly a pavilion was built in a so- oluiled part of Aranjuez, whither, liberally supplied with clioptiers, pigs and tho necessary spices, tlie monarch retired from public view and, dressed in a butcher’s white blouse and apron, wont through n severe com™ of training. At last he was ready for a test, and a piece of sausage solomly tasted by Don Antonio, was declared worthy of his own making. Tlie dish became fashionable nt court, but Charles, in sisting that ho had not yet acquired his In-other's delicacy and finish, con tinued his labors toward tho perfec tion of his culinnry skill. Ono day tho Icing, at table, began to find fault with ills sausages. ■ Naturally the courtiers all do- murreef at this and declared that ho was mil taken, btlt a young dulco who liml justobmo up from tho country, and did not know how matters stood, thought ho saw an open road to fa vor, and remarked, "I venture to ngrdq with your majesty." "What would you do with tho cook?” asked Chariest "Expel him,” was the re- pljL. Op.itliis Charles rose from his scat, left tho hall and quickly re turned, dressed in his professional costume! Approaching the bewildered young /.mag)' lie said, "Sir duke, will you beg my pardon of the kingl" "Morey, siro I" cried the duke, throwing him self on his knees. Charles good hum uredly passed over tho offense, and titado the'cplprit ono ot his per sonal attendants. This whim degenerated into sheer monomania; matters of the grav est importance were neglected; the king could not be got away frdnt his self inflicted labors; sausage ntiik- ing boeaniq tlio solo interest of his existence!. • In the end, however, ho was undeceived by a fortunate oc currence. An English lady of rank, wlm wiw VCry curious to seo the royal pork bfitener at work, was secretly introduced by the British embassador into tho grounds surrounding the pa vilion. By some mischance Charles discovered her, and thinking it the best tiling to do Went up to her and embraced her, forgetting that bis hands nnd clothes were all smeared and dirty. Of course tlio lady's dress was sjxiiled, but Charles had recognized how utterly absurd he must seem to' other people, and his eyes being thus opened he nt once desisted from his degrading occupation. Nevertheless, during his absence from business, feeble prince ns he was, incalculable damage bail been done to the empire —damage from which it never re covered under his after rule.—Massa chusetts Times. The Young Man Who Turned Up Hit Troll Her* Before Fighting. It was about dusk on Tremont street. Good and wicked Boston was pre paring for the night before the Sab- Lots of pretty girls were coming out of many stores, hurrying along to catch cars or trains for many a suburban homo. There were shop girls apd girls that lived on Beacon Hill, who had delayed buying their candy here and trinkets there. Ono fair one looked strikingly pret ty ns she sped out on tho dark street. Two youths sauntered up tho thor oughfare and saw the pretty girl. “Ah, there I" said they, but tho pretty girl didn’t answer. "That will do," said a young fol low of medium hoiglit, tho typo of a modern dude, ns ho threw open a capo coat, which disclosed evening clothes. He said it with a very bored air. Life didn’t seem to bo worth living to him. Tlie youths looked first at his silk hat and then down nt his patent leather Bhoes. “Guess we can do him," sold they. “Hold my coat, will you?" Boid ho of the evening dross to the pretty girl, arid she helped him take it off. Then he started to turn up his trou sers and tho biggest youth hit him on tlio head. He finished turning up his trousers, then turned on the big youth-. "Do so hate a scone,” Baid he, as ho gave tlio big, youth ri blow right between tho eyes that knocked him tprawlirig into tho gutter. Tho other youth ran. Of course n crowd gathered and wondered at the pretty girl holding tho topcoat and tho fellow in evening dress. Then the pretty girl's champion put on Iris coat and brusned some mud from his trousers, He was troubled to think liissbirtbosom was wrinkled. "Who's tho fellow?" asked an elder ly gentleman of a young Harvard hum who’sauntered by. "URed to bo tlie boss sparser whop ho was in collego; guess somebody insulted his sister." ’ ‘Jove 1 how annoying tlieso Crowds are,- Marie J’l said tho young man in evening dress, ns lie called a cab and tho two drove nwiiy up Beacon Hill! —Boston Herald.

His appearance wuh very striking, his face handsomo and intellectual, and tlie large liquid eyes were fnll of latont fire and poetical imagination. Ho was not only reticent, but almost taciturn, and when he did speak was apt to pause and then jerk out the rest of tlio sentence. Americans have, as a nils, o very remarkable facil ity of expression. Here was a ouri- ous exception. 1 remember condoling with him for having exchanged Bos ton, the hub of creation, for nneongenial Liverpool, when ho replied, “Oh, Liver pool is a very pleasant place” (then a pause sufficiently long for me to look surprised, and then suddenly tho end of tlio sontonce), "to get away from,”— Cornh<ll Magazine.

In these latter days we are right fully weary of the influx of ladies among us—the lady in the kitchen, the wash lady, the cleaning lady, the saleslady, ad infinitum. But we must never put aside nor allow any other to supplant the gnfnd title of the lady of the house. That Anglo-Saxon word which holdsin it “the vision of the ideal of the true lady, the noble woman rifling well her household, the woman of wisdom to learn and teach the laws which order bread keeping, the mistress of domestic economy—the science of establishing in every house the house law of thrift and comfort.” Words are indeed “monumental thoughts,"and there are few in our tongue which stand out more dear cut and strong, showing us what true and noble reality as well as ideality lies within compass of her who is the lady of the house.—Harper’s Bazar. SpnrgM* SaDriaf from Goat* Rev. Newman Hall narrates that he once saw Mr. Spurgeon lying on a couch and twitching in great pain from gout He said: "Some of our friends think themselves perfect saints. We all thought a certain brother perfect till he said he was. Mqpt of these are old maids or re tired officers with few cares.” (An other twitch of pain.) “If they had gout and the hell was not answered quickly, they would find some of the old devil left in them.” He asked Dr. Hall to pray with him, saying: “I know you can be short A dear brother was praying with me one day at such length that I had to say, ‘Stop, stop 1 I can’t bear any more.’ ” —Good Words. Bow Silk X. “Watered.'* The satin weave throws the fine warp threads all upon the right side. Twills have the warp in three sheets, whereof one is drawn down and tile other two left on the top. Watered silk is made by pasting the fabric, double, between hot rollers under pressure.—Chicago Tribune. American,Silk Weaving and Printing. American silk weavers fall but lit tle short of the glory of Lyons, In printed silks tlioy even go beyond them. It would bo strange if they did not Printing silk is compar atively a now process. In whiro China and natural colored pongee American makers havo little to learn, Tliey import patterns and processes from France, and so improve upon them that in the year of grace 1900 there will he no need—in the opinion of experts—for good Americana to go to Paris or Lyons or Genoa for anything whatever made from silk. Genoa the superb was 6nce pre eminent for velvet, but now Lyons beam the palm, as she does for the gauzes that got their name from Gaza, tho eastern city where first they were made.—Chicago Tribune. Lost Mines. Everywhere throughout the west are lost mines. Every state and ter ritory that has gold or silver has several of them. Around each there clings a halo of romance. There is a Lest Cabin mine near Crater lake in Oregon. Montana, Wyoming, Idaho and New Mexico have lost mines of some sort or other, all rich, and locked in the depths of the Navajo reservation in Arizona is another tact mine. Men with guns and picks and burros steal in from time to time in quest of the latter. Sometimes in referring to the vari ous lost mines they are singularly mixed, until the problem is made harder to solve as to just where they are. "There are at least a half dozen or a dozen Lost Cabin mines in the west,” said an old mining man yes terday. ‘‘Anything that is strange and hard to get at will have many hunting for it The lost mines are hard to find, but there ore all the time expeditions in quest of them.” -tUan Francisco Examiner.

There is no natural way of education, it is all completely un natural and must he so. The natural child protests against discipline of whatever kind, and seeks to follow her cravings; hot out of this fools' paradise—which would be no paradise at all, , as her teacher knows—she must be driven, and out of it she must be kept, though it he with a flaming sword.—Anna C.

At tlio very moment he was in that inverted position tho door opened and Mmc. Wagner entered.

Rout Mouse Was No Good.
