In these days of intrepidity a mongst the members of the fair sex, it requires some feat of more thon average daring or endurance to in a measure of fame from the public says the London Queen. 1 It is not enough to play cricket or golf, to bicyele, to climb moun tains, to row, or to shoot; these are accomplishments which are very general of attainment and the would be heroine warshippers ’ demand something a little more ' exclusive. This something lias surely been * achieved by Miss Helen Peel, who ■ has madeja voyage to the North Pole and crystallized her impres sions of those misty regions in de ' Isghful naive volume, entitled “Polar Gleams; an Account, of a • Voyage on the Yact Blencathra” In this book the young athoress I gives a very graphic and very nat , ural account of the whole of her ' four months journey from the em barking at the historical port of Appledore through the Arctic circle the Norwegian Fjords the North Cape the Siberian cost the dangerous Kara Sea to the mighty Yenesel river. Her companions wese Mr. F. Ley borne Popham, Mr, and Mrs. James and a crew of twenty four. The ob ject of th° fxpedition, under con tract with the Russian government, wus to take a cargo of 1,60 q tons of rails fur the great Siberian railway whioh is in course of construction. Miss Helen Peel, who is the young est daughter of Sir Robert Peel and granddaughter of the celebrated stateiman of that name, had nut had much experience of sea life until the remarkable voyage she made in the Blencathra. but she has al ways had a love of adventure, and a keen and wholesome desire to see other lands and people, and to learn something of their customs and ways of living. COACHING THE BEST MAN “A chum of mine (young man) is about to be married. I have i kuowu him and the girl he is going to marry a long time. He asked ’ me to be his best mac, This is the first time that I am 1 to stand up for anybody and I would like to get some points on < what to do. Will you also be so | kindly give me some idea what to present the couple with? ’ Kindly let me know just what a ( best man is supposed co do. ( They are going to Washington and have asked me to go along. < What am I supposed to do and what expenses should I bear? Ignoramus.’ In answering the above the Brooklyn Eagle says: The be .t man is not nlwavs un married, hut h - is usually selecta I from a groom’s bachelor friends, and is supposed to be as much his inti mate as ordinary men ever choose to have To him is confided the route of the weddii g j »uruey, and he secures drawing-room seats, telegraphs for rooms at hotels—if a hotel is in the plan of a wedding journey ; sees that the luggage is properly chec d provided the groom has no valet, accompanies him to the church stands next to him during th? cere mony, presents the clergymen with Ins fee, and afterwards, if requested by the bride’s family, sends to the press an advertisement of the mariage particulars for which are furnished b>‘ them, also by the groom, when ever bis line of decent or spacial titles aie added to the same. Ol course, the cost of all this is borne by the groom, except perhaps, the expense of tue press, which the bride's father will choose to defray.* A best man is’ last to leave the church, hut at the reception later he is at liberty to join the guests or take a place by the maid of honor. He goes to the railway agent or steam er to see the bridal party off, provid ed the distance to the place of de parture is not too great, and then returns to the parents of the bride to bring back their greetings. The best man relieves the groom of many essential details and every care possible at a time when a bride groom has a right—if such right is due any man at any time—to perfect freedom and from every anxiety and every duty It is his hour of happiness, and to be truly content tranquility of mind is a necessity. Os course a comrade is undeserving the name of friend;if he is not glad to make, if possible, this bridal day a perfect memory. The secret— if it has been kept a secret—of the destination nf the mar ried t rave Here is his, and he protects it. Indeed, nobody is likdy to ask it of him “OH, PAPA!” SHE CRIED , He is a Chesterfieldian jburglar. , Such is the general opinion con cerning George Wilson, not in the Tombs. He is the most gentleman t ly and courteous thief among the ■ rogues of New York. > He is the one who entered Mrs. J S. H. Lehman’s flat at 118 Waver ly place Friday evening aud help- i ed himself to several diamonds, • watches and money. He was caught after a chase, and held for trial yesterday in the Jefferson Market > court. i Mrs. Lehmen, in her story of • the theft, said : “I came in from ■ driving yesterday afternoon and I found the rear hall door locked, i In a few moments I left to buy some things for supper. J “When I returned the rear hall ■ hall door was open and I thought ' my husband was at home. ‘Where ■ are you, papa?’ I called, There I was no answer. ‘Oh, pshaw!’ I ■ said, and stamped my foot. ‘Don’t 1 try to hide from me, papa.’ Still ‘ no answer. “I went into the next room. The door was ajar and I pushed it. It hit somebody. ‘Now’ come out, . papa ; don’t hide,’ I said, and out stepped a well dressed young man. ‘Papa will be here soon,’ he said, bowing politely. ‘Who are you?’ I • asked. ‘Oh that’s all right.’ he answered smiling. ‘Papa will be in in a minute. ’ “I thought that my husband had come home and .brefught company and I was so glad to think that I had bought some huckleberry cake. All this time the man was bovi ig and smiling and walking easily to wards the door. “ ‘Who are you? What’s your name?’ 1 asked. “Me? Oh, my name is Jones —Jones at your service madam. Pop‘ll be here in a minute,” and with a smile and a bow he walked out of the door and down the stairs- “As he reached the bottom, like a fl ish it struck me that he was a bur glar. Then I hurried aTer. As J reached tie pavement I scream id and tore after him. I screamed at every step until he was caught. Now that I‘vj got my diamonds back I m sorry th*»t he is locked up Just think how consider a e he was! Why. be might have knocked me down and injured me. Instead he behaved like a perfect gentleman. He lookedit, too with his diamond ring. I‘d have given him S2OO for it—his two-caret diamond stud and and his magnificent watch and chain! Wilsons photograph has been ad ded to the Rogue’# Gallery, and the police think that be is a cool, clever Wes’ern thief. He is thirty two years old and gave h s address as 287 Eigty-ninth street, where he is unknown. AMERICAN WOMEN. Henry ( lay often said that it seemed to him that American wo men of any class surpassed in tact and natural good manners than the women of any other race. During a President! il campaign, after he had addressed a mass meet ing in a Kentucky town, one of the neighboring farmers invited him to dinner at an early date, to meet some of the leading Whigs of the country. When the day arrived, Mr. Clay rode up to the farm house, and was surprised to see no stir of preparation, for the hospitable Kentuckians usually found no ban. quet too rich for j their beloved leader. The farmer’s wife, in a homespun gown and white apron, was feeding the chickens. She turned start led,and then approach ed him smilingly. “It is Mr. Clay? Come in ! My husband will be here in a moment.” She led him directly to her clean cheerful kitchen, and blew the horn to summon her husband and sons, giving them a warning look as they entered. “I knew.” Mr. Clay said, “there was a blunder somewhere. But there was ho hint ftf it in my host ess' manner as she soon after com posedly placed the single dish of food on the table, and invited us to be seated. The dish was pig’s jowl and cabbage, and it was ex ceedingly well cooked. I never en joyed a meal more, or listened to better talk. When it was over, and we men had smoked our pipes, I prepared to monnt my horse. The farmer’s wife came out. “ ‘You will dine with us tomor row, and meet the politicians as you promised, Mr. Clay?’ she said. ‘We are so honored and grateful by you coming to us alone today. “The next day a large company of men sat down to a royal dinner But I enjoyed the jowl and cabl bage most. It had the flavor of the finest hospitality. ” POINTERS FOR POPULIST Equal rights to all will never ( make a lazy shiftless farmer, the t equal of the working farmer, who d raises his supplies at home, t Beware of false prophets and f these new political doctrines.
