Fat women always draw well In the traveling

Jast when a woman has reached such a size that
crowda of people throng to see her. fatty degenera*
tlon of the heart seta in, and off she goes. Tbe
trouble with all fat women is that they do not take
sufficient exercise. If they would move their
limbs as vigorously m they wag their jawa they
would be all right, Jessie Waldron was only
twenty, bat her 400 pounds weight
carried her .to a premat n re grave.
Blanche Gray at the age of seventeen

It may turn out that Editor Wat tenon, of the
Courier-Journal, hu undertaken a bigger job than
he can carry oat in reading people oat of tho
democratic party. Suppose, for instance, Editor
Watterson desired to read Ths Constitution out of
the democratic party, how would that great and
good roan go about It? In a rastle of this kind, the
great western editor would be shoveled over tho
back fence in short order.
If Vanderbilt, Gould and others of their cltra
gave away a dime for every dollar a*ked of them
they would soon bo left penniless. Another man
suffers equally u much from the importunities of
beggars, and this is Georgo W. Childs, of Philadel
phia. Mr, Childs???s Income from tho Ledger Is over
91,000 perdsy. Nearly all of this goes In charity. He
isgenorous to everybody, and pensions bis employ
ees when they are placed on the retired list/ Mr.
Childs lecelves oa an average 200 begging letters a
day, asking for, in the aggregate, about $20,000. Al-
sorts of queer applications come. A young lady
writes from Indiana asking for "a present of a
Scotch colly ihephord pup of the male sex.???
A man in England wrote to ask
for money to send his three
sous to school. Hundreds writo for loans to
enable them to pay off mortgages on their homes,
it is a wonder that Mr. Childs does not lose his
temper or his wits under such a strain, but ho
bears It splendidly, and endeavors to respond to
every reasonable call.
Editor Watterson???s antics on tho floor of the
house over tho vote on tho whisky bill will strike

a terrlficttettle the young soldier's phenomenal
roolnera attracted Bonaparte's attention, and he
promoted him. Michael Ney wu the name assumed
by Rudolph In France, and It wu generally be
lieved by his comrades that he wu a Frenchman
who had spent most of his life abroad. The rise of
Michael N^y continued until the fatal Waterloo.
Tbe lumorof hi* American nativity got abroad after
the marshal wm executed, and it wa?? reported that
before hla death he told his sons that his name was
Rudolph and that they had abandoned their
mother near 6avannah, Georgia. On this side of
the water several missing links In the chain of evi
dence establishing tbe Identity of Rudolph aud
Ney have come to light. One incident will be
sufficient. About 1820 two joung Frenchmen were
in Savannah inquiring the whereabouts of Madame
Rudolph. A survivor of Waterloo chanced to meet
them, aud rushing to the eldest, exclaimed: "Mon
sieur Victor Ney!" The young men got away at
once, and were seen no more. They were undoubt
edly sons of Marshal Ney in search of their mother,
the Madame Rudolph, who bad been abandonee
over a quarter of a century before. ??
The article from Lady John Manners In au Eng
lish review Impeaching the luxury of modern *o-
ciety is a paper of exceptional Intorest, The account
given of the excessive feeding of society people of
well-appointed country houses is somewhat start
ing. Before the visitors are up, tea and bread and
butter, with brandy and soda fot the young men.
Breakfast about ten, lasting until within two hours
and a half of luncheon time. Luncheon begins at
two and lasts an hour and a half- Then follows
coffee. All gather round tho tea table at five. Next
is dinner at 8 or 8:80, lasting until 10 or 10:30. Then
coffee and cigars In the diningroom for the gentle
men. and Ilquers and tea for the ladles. After the
ladies ostensibly go to bed tbo gentlemen adjourn
to the smoking room where they destroy whisky,
brandy, claret and lemons by wholesale. As It Is
in feeding, so it lain dressing. Ladies In moderate
circumstances spend $3 000 a year on their dresses.
House rent list a fabulous figure, and in short,
all the machinery of life is cumbersome, compli
cated and extravagant. One consequence of this
state of affairs Is the decline of the Institution of
marriage, As young men do not dare to marry
until they bcccme mllllonaires.marrioges naturally
decrease and families decay.
Considering the quantity of tea used in this
country, one would naturally suppose that our
people would know something about tea, but the
fact Is, they know next to nothing. Most of our
tea comes from China, but it fs the inferior grades,
tho spurious stuff which hM been
artificially colored. The really good
tea is either consumed in China or is sold
abroad at fancy prices. The emperor of Russia im
ports tea at $19 per pound, and it is a common
thing for wealthy people to pay $10 a pound for it
Wheu good tea Is secured you should use one full
teMpoonful for each person aud one for the pot;
boil the water In a clean kettle, and when it bolls
put the required quantity of tea in tho teapot- and
pour on the boiling water, allowing It to stand about
fifteen minutes. Then pour Into a fine china tea
pot to???servo at tbe tablo. Never mako the tea In
anything but a china or brown atone pot.
In the history of politics, there was never any*
thing more timely than tho Tllden movement.
Just at present, It seems as if ho lithe only man
who can save tho democratic party from self de

Persons Interested In silk culture will be glad
loam that the fountain head of the industry In

A deplorable state of affairs exists la the town of
Middletown, N. Y. The good people of that inter
esting burg stand opposing each other In a contest
between license and no license. At tho outset of
the campaign the teetotalers banded themselves
together and agreed ( not to patro
nize any business man who favored license,
Then the female teetotalers began threatening the
unmarried young man with social ostracism if
they did uot veto against license. The result of
such a red hot hurrah campaign may be Imagined.
The llqnor license men were defeated, and
Just here the trouble began in earnest.
The license men, after their defeat, organized and
refused to patronize any one who voted against
license. Ono young gentleman who had never
swallowed a drop of liquor in bis life, became so
indignant of the effort of the female crusaders to
bulldoze him that he gathered his friendz, "set 'em
and the entire gang got gloriously boozy. At
last acoounts trade la Middletown wm demoral

prevailed everywhere.
Was the famous Marshal Ney, "the bravest of
the brave,??? a Georgian? Without attempting to
answer this question, the temptation of reproduc
ing the substance of a recent article on the subject
too strong to be resisted. An anonymous writer
the KaniM City Times relates at great length,
and with a multitude of dates and details, the
early career of Napoleon???s brilliant gcneral.lt seems
that shortly after the revolutionary war a young
man named Michael Rudolph lived on a plantation
near Savannah with his wife and two sons, Victor
and Adolph. One day Rudolph flew into a J colons
rage against his wife and taking the two boys he
abandoned her, and railed to France where he
joined the army as a private. During one heat of
Whenever a man fiuds it nectary to ad
vertise for a pretty woman to All a business post
tlon, it Is astonishing how many answers ho re
ceives. Manager O???Brien, of Philadelphia, who
advertised recently for "the prettiest woman lu
Pennsylvania" to ride an elephant in street
parades is receiving bushels of letters. In two
days Mr. O???Brien hM received 182 letters from
the prettiest womau in Pennsylvania
and 105 of her photographs. A country
beauty writes: "I fil the bit about your advertise
ment for the preltleit woman in Penna.??? A Philo*
dolphin girl puts It this way: ???1 am a tall striking,
beauty of majestic presenco." An Italian dancer
applies for the position becauso ihe thinks elephant
riding easier than dancing. A yonog lady answers
the advertisement simply because she wants to rpn
away, and thinks It would bo romantic to join a
circus. Notwithstanding the high opinion enter*
talned by the writers regarding their personal
charms, an examination of the 105 photographs
failed to reveal a single genuine beauty.
The warm waters of tho gulf stream are favor
able to a very rapid growth, and the aulmali there
are tropical. Waiting tho shores of Florida, this
remarkable current transports its animals to Eu
rope. This explains why tho tropical faunoo of
both aide* of tho Atlantic so resemblo each other.
The gulf stream, therefore, seems not only to
modify the climate of naturally cold regions, but
to distribute life equally on two different shores.
It Is questionable whether animals ever commit
suicide, and In fact It hu been asserted by eminent
naturalists that animals do not know what death
is, Very pathetic stories are told of the faithful
dogs found starving to death on tho graves of their
beloved mutcrs, and a dog hu been known to
drown bimsesf in the river Solue in the very spot
where ho raw hla master drowning tho day before.
However, these instances prove nothing. Dogs re
main by their muters??? graves, not with any inten-
tlon of starving to death, bat In the vain hope of
dog their owners reappear. The dog that jumped
into the Seine did not attempt to commit suicide;
he wm searching for his muter. But there Is one
animal which unquestionably does kill Itself, tho
scorpion. So many credible witnesses have seen
this little reptllostab itself to death in a lit of rage
that the factcannot be conttoverisd.
It may be that Mr. Tilden's mind Is a great deal

Cun a Is going through a serious commercial crisis.
So many business houses have failed and so many
more are threatened that a general bankruptcy that
would enable everybody to wipe out the put and

the panic struck Havana during tho carnival. The
captain-general seized tho cable aud refused to
allow intelligent of the uilamlty to bo
telegraphed, declaring that It would ruin the
island to have tho uews gut abroad at that time. At
lut account! nothing had occurred to counteract
the panic. Thu tallowing causes of the crisis have
been mentioned: The high taxes, the paper money,
the losses by emancipation, the higher prices of
labor, the low price* of sugar and undue specula
tion.
