Washington Society,

A writer in LippincoES says that a
Washington season is generic thing t;
women come to the place for the sake
of it, as they go nowhere else. Through
the system of calling, official society is
accessible to all, and the introductions
obtained there to people of the more
select circles when fortified by wealth
and pertinacity, open the whole charm
ed round Of pleasure. Society in other
cities is totally unlike society in Wash
lngton. There it is an interchange OF
kindliness between househoulds Of
friends; it is the lestiyity OF happy an
niversaries, the union offamilies in new
ties, the cherishing flong acquaintance.
But in Wsshington-except 80 far as
the small number of residents is con-
cerned-its whole purpose and meaning
are anomalous; each administration
brings a new following, each Congress
has a new Iabble at its heels; friend
ships are accidents OF the day; dlPlo-
macy is carried on by dining; every
party has political purpose, every civil
lity a double meaning. Nevertheless,
the sparkle OF wit, the kindling Of en-
thusiasm, are not absent from it; on
the contrary, there is more OF that than
elsewhere, for it is sustained by the
chosen intellect and beauty OF the con-
tinent. You may meet admirals there
who have sailed round the world, gen
erals who have fought mighty battles,
priests who may yet be Popes, men and
women who are figures OF the century
they will tell you the romance OF their
travel, the heart beat OF their successes,
and you will contrive to hear it for all
the accom- panying roar and sweep In
which they are the lay figures for aspl-
rants to measure, and the property OF re-
porters. In such society, OF course, all
asperites are eoftened this mans
daughter dances with the son OF his arch
enemy; difference is accorded 10 the
opinion OF woman on pnblic matters as
if she already possessed her right OF suf'
frage; there is an exhilaration in meet
ing and avoiding and overlooking, in
the light and skillful skating over dan
gerous surfaces, While rare freedom
unites with gentle, even il polite cour~
tesy, which it is delightful to meet to-
night, and which slures you to seek to-
morrow. Society without a conscience
it is, possible, but for all that sufficient"
ly fascinating.

HORRIBLE AFFAIR.
Suicide OF Prominent Merchant or
CIarksburS.

From the Clarksburg Conservative
The announcement made on the
streets little after eleven Thursday
morning, ofthe suicide OF Mr.. Abraham
Smith caused intense excitement, es-
pecially as numbers OF the people on
Main street had not many hours before
babe him good morning.
About nine o'clock he sent Lloyd
Reed, lad clerking in the stoor. over
to his house with some button moulds
On his return he asked him if he would
take over some sausage to which
Young Reed said yes" The
boy took the jar and on his
return found he could not get in
the store. He was unable 10 use his
own KEY because the one belonging to
Mr. Smith was in the key-hole on the
inside. lie came up street few mo.
mcntR, and then tried again. lie then
took q sea; in Mr.. Tinsman's store and
alter wEile made another effort.
Acting upon a bint Of Mr.. Mason's, he
took yard-stick, passed it through q
broken pane OF the window and threw
out the key. unlocking it with his OVID
from tie outside. He then discovered
that the middle door was locked in the
inside also. This he served in the same
way as he had the front door. Messrs.
Tinsman and Tim mberIske waited OIL the
outside while Reed ran up stairs. As
he entered the large room the body
way discovered hanging from the lifting
apparatus.
lie called, and Messrs. Timberlske
and Tinsman ran up stairs. Timberlake
at once lifted the body up so as to take
the strain off the neck, while Mr. Tins
man cut the rope. Doctor. were sent for
at once, but there was no sigu Of life in
him. In few moments an immense
crowd gathered in front Of the store.
The rope was fastened to a joce
parallel 10 the ceiling, aud be; had
mounted barrel, which he kicked
from under him. His feet were hardly
two inches from the floor. The knot
WAS tied under the left ear. After the
inquest no discoloration was visible,
aud the corpse looked very natural, with
the exception Of the ridge around his
neck caused BY the rope.

Faro Bank In Feeiec.

Civilization is gradually penetrating
10 the remote regions OF the earth. A
iaro bank has been established in Fees
jee, and the natives are fascinated with
the game. A somewhat Ead incident
is mentioned in connection with the late
match 'or the championship. A CHIEF
became deeply interested in q game,
the stakes for the table. Luck seemed
to 60 against the chief.Fir,t be put up
hls servants and lost then lie bet bis
mother-in-la# and lost. He did not
shed tear over this disaster. Then
be staked his unmarried sister and his
wife's cousins; aLd the bank raked in
all the chips. TIE Infatuated chief
then offered his baby, srd the owner O.!
the bank had it packed down in the ice
chest in less than fifteen minu.es The
chief then bet all his children succsss-
lively, and lost and then, having gam
blei awsy his wife, be staked himself
on the last chance, and sgsin be. on
the wrong card. When be had time TO
think it over, the chief said that be was
convinced that gambling was very
wrong, and ne thought that it ought to
be suppressed by the authorities. But
before bis friends could get bill pas
sed be vas killed snd put in a cask 70
corn for the faro bank man. A success.
sion Of peculiarly tucculent free lunch

tive to the Feejeen epicures for several
months afterward The name OF tie

beet, in drills, and its quality or prop
critics have been much improved by
cultivation. 1t is one Of the ingredients
in AYERS SARsAPARILLA, and we are
informed, the extraordinary virtues Of
this preparation are largely due to the
extract of this root that it contains.
The Sarsaparilla root, used by this firm,
is grown on plantations OF their own,
in Honduras, to secure an article OF su>
perior and wholly reliable quality. One
Of the reasonsIfor the universally ack-

A Heroic womau-The best Bear
Story offhe Season.

The Roseburg (Oreson) Pi7i78ea'tr
relates: A correspondent writ, . RON
Canyonville, send us the follow ns 80
terestipg incident which occurred nes'
that place About ten days since Hen
~ Bland aud his vile, Of Cauyonyille
Precinct, went ont into the mountains
TO look after their sheep. When about
three miles from home his two dogs got
after bear, and after severe chsse,
succeeded in compelling the bear TO
climb a tree About the time that Mr..
Bland aud his wife reached the foot OF
the tree another ferocious bear suddens
ly put in an appearance and savagely
attacked the dogs in the immediate
presence OF Mr.. and Mrs. Bland. The
fight row became animated and fuTls
Gus, dogs aud bears rolling oyer each
9th er in the death struggle down steep
mountain side into the canyon below.
Bland was armed with a Henry rifle,
but dared not to shoot for fear OF killing
his dogs. Now came the question how
to rescue the dogs only two cartridges
were in the rifle. and these had to be us.
ed 10 the best advantage. Mrs Bland
urged her husband to 20 10 the assis-
tauce OF the dogs, while she, alone and
unarmed, undertook to keep the feroc-
ious monster upth tree. He started
down into the canyon, where the con-
fict was raging, guided by the growls
and yelps OF the dogs and bear. He ar
rived not q moment too Soon, for Bruin
was evidently getting tAbest OF it, and
would only be pacified by. the last shot
from the now empty rifle.
1t was dark when Bland returned 10
his wife at the foot OF the trer-TAe
empty rifle was OF little use, AMI uEon
the determination Of Mrs. Bland to s.t
up with the bear, he started 'or home
for ammunition. The lady b,.Us reiE-
forced by the bleeding dogl, now felt
that she was mistress Of the situation.
With no fire, far from home, in the
midst OF Craggy mountains, this indom'
liable lady dared to hold at bay one OF
the most ferocious monsters OF the tor
est. The bear, not liking his new home
determined to descend the tree but our
heroine, with stick and the barking
Of the dogs, compelled Bruiu to take
another thought. Our huutrCss stood
guard until about ten o'clock when her
husband and another man came TO her
assistance. She then started for her
home through the deep canons and gor-
ges OF the mountains, entirely alone,
and it was at midnight when she saIe-
ly arrived at her own dwelling,
The next morning as soon as It WAS
sufficiently light, the bear was shot He
proved 10 be one Of the largest OF those
known as the cinnamon variety.
