MIR. BONsALL's MATCHMAKING.

My uncle, Alexander McFarlane, was
waiting breakfast, an event very uncom-
mon with him, for Aunt Nancy was the
soul of punctualIty. Nevertheless she was
a little late this morning Eight o'clock
was the breakfast hour, and il was now
fully ten minutes past.
Aunt Nancy was not my Uncle McFar-
lanes wife. lie was widower of some
fifteen years standing. Fifteen years be-
fore his wife had left him delicate little
boy for keepsake, and had gone away,
whispering with her last breath that she
was very happy. Her mother and sister,
who had come to the house to nurse her,
remained after her DEATH according TO I'm
Gle McFarlanes particular request. He
would be so glad, he said, If it were not ex-
acting too much of a sacrifice, to have Mrs
Howard and Nancy stay with him, keep up
his house, and attend 10 his little boy. So
Mrs. Howard, who was a widow with u
very straitened income, rented her little
house in the New England village, where
she had always lived, and came to preside
over Mr.. McFarlane's spacious mansion
and liberal housekeeping in Greenwich
street. New York-my Uncle McFarlane

TEBE NEW MINISTER no ST.
PETERSBURG.

1t is announced that Hon. Edward Pierre
pont of New York has accepted the mission
TO 81. Petersburg. The New York Ti'''N@
says he is gentleman of ability, amply
qualified for the duties of the position, of
high social standing, and universally res
pected for his probity of character and hi-
public spirit, and will make in every way a
creditable and desirable representative OF
our country abroad.
Mr. Picrrcpont was born in New Haven
Conn, in 1917; graduated at Yale College
in 1887, and studied law at the New Haven
law school. From 1910 to 1919 he practlc-
cd his profession at Columbus, Ohio, and
since in New York city, attaining eminence
at the bar. lie was Judge of the Supreme
Court of New York from 1857 to 1860;
member of the constitutional convention in
1861 and United States District Attorney
for the District of Southern New York in

party utilization democrat, but at the
breaking out of the rebellion in 1861 be-
came a republican, zealously supporting the
administration of Mr.. Lincoln and his re-
election in 1864, and aided in the first cleo
ton and reelection of Gen. Grant.

pERILs DE INTOxICATInN.

1t is common notion that there is for
tune which hedges the safety of a drunken
man; that if he should fall from roof he
would come down limp like pillow or in
ball like bear, and he might strike any
where about his person, it would be all the
same, he would not be hurt. That may be
true as to falling from houses so few peo-
pie fall from houses that rule cannot be
reliably generalized from known cases.
But it is certain that in railroad perils the
intoxicated man is at a disadvantage. If
he wants to lie down to sleep, and it hap
pens to be convenient, he knows just enough
to put his head on one rail and his feet on
the opposite. lfhe is walking ON a railroad
track and an engine is coming, he gets it
through his head that he ought to step off
about the time he finds himself unable to
step anywhere.

ribs crushed and legs severed is warning

been confined in his cell for n few nights
which gave him an opportunity to work at
