MCCauiey'S Sister,

Lady Trevelyan, whose death was an
nounced lately, was granddaughter of
Hannah More, and the favorite sister
of Lord Macauley-indeed the only one
of his family with whom he had any
very close sympathies to her and
her children he bequeathed the bulk
of his fortune She was not popular
woman, being regarded as rather acid
and angular, but has a good deal of
her brothers ability. Her husband,
Sir Charles Trevelyan, cadet of an
ancient Cornish family, whose baro'
netcy dates from 1861, was long prom.
inent official in the civil service, from
which he retired some years ago. He
was subsequently Governor of Madras,
and member of the Indian Council.
His only son, Mr.. George Otto Trevel4
yam, made great reputation at school
and college, and on his entry into Par
lament, which he has hardly sustained.
He is author of popular work on In
dia, called "The Competition Walls
lah." Sir Charles daughter is the Sec
ond wife Of the eldest son of Sir Henry
Holland. Sir Gregory Hardlines in
sssThe Three Clerks y was generally
recognized as Sir Charles Trevelyan.

A Transaction IN FurS.

An Ohio paper relates that about
seventeen years ago a young boy re-
siding in Wood County took black
cat skin, from which the original tail OF
the cat had been removed, and a mink S
tail nicely sewed on instead, and sold
it to certain buyer of furs not many
miles away from Grand Rapids, for
$1.25- It was done as practical joke ;
but the boy kept the money, grew to be
a prosperous business man, joined a
church, but his conscience upbraided
him SO much that a few days ago the
ex-fur dealer received a note inclosing
$50, principal and interest. The Joke
is now on the fur-dealer, as he put the
cat skin among a lot of mink skins, and
sold 1t for So. AS he cannot now find
the purchaser, he proposes to con-
tribute the money to some benevolent
purpose.

WILSON AND SUMNER.
The Health of the Two Statesmen.
Roct0J1 1ottor ro,,, orl-c.

A Boston letter remarks:
'Vice-President Wilson has so far
recovered his health that he is an
nounced to preside at the opening of a
lecture course this evening, and to in
troduce the lecturer, Mr.. Jenkins, the
author ofvs'' Ginxs Baby" He shows
shows few marks of his recent partial
paralysis, except a slight drawing down
to his mouth, and that is gradually
leaving him. Mr.. Sumner engaged to
lecture against the advice of nearly all
his Boston friends, several of whom
are still endeavoring to persuade him
to cancel his engagements. He has
come up from Nahant, and is daily
seen quite regularly in his walks from
his residence at the Coolidge House to
the Boston Athen@um, in the library
of which latter place much of his time
is spent. DR.. Brown Sequard has adj
vised him that it is safe for him to
attempt to lecture, but the better opin-
ion among others who know him is
that he has need to husband his pow-
ers for other purposes

Saint Fanny.

Saint Fanny was a notable housewife.
Her house was q temple of neatness.
Kings might have dined upon her
staircase. Now, her great delight was
to provide all things comfortable for
her husband, a hardworking merchant,
much abroad, but loving his home.
Now, one night he returned tired and
hungry, and by some mischance there
was nothing for supper. Shops were
shut, and great was the grief of ST.
Fanny. Taking off bracelet of seed
pearl, she said, S'Id give this ten times
over for supper for my husband. .
And every pearl straightway became an
oyster and Saint Fanny opened, and
the husband ate, and 10 in every oys
ter was a pearl as large as a hazel nut
and so was Saint Fanny made rich for
life.-Douglas Jerrotds FSreside

Singular Causc of Fire,

A slight fire occurred in building in
Montreal on Wednesday last, which is
attributed to spontaneous combustion.
It appears that some one hundred
sheets of iron for roofing purposes had
been painted, and for some days left in
an upper loft; and when supposed to
be dry, had been hurriedly thrown to-
gether. The result was that they be-
came heated, and finally set the place
on fire, the three-inch plank and beam
having been entirely burned away be
meath, allowing the whole to drop into
the lower story.

Cost OF q Pet Dog.

The administrator of New York es-
tate received, among other bills, one
from a man who had undertaken the
care of the dead mans pet dog. For
this arduous duty he presented bill
of S. for dog tax, S25 for training the
dog, and $240 for boarding the animal,
making total of 1910 expenses on the
dog. The case went to law, and the
taxpayer, trainer and boarder received
Judgment for $135. The chief lesson
seems to be that all persons about
dying should kill their pet dogs first.
And In this connection it might be
we'll to Tecollect that we are all NOR
tails, and that, as far as dogs are con
cerned, there is no time like the pres
emit.

How Boarding School Misses Amuse
Themselves.

At boarding school not many miles
distant from New York an exhibition
was to be given not long ago. Part of
the pro gramme was to be play, which
the young ladies were to get up entire
~ by themselves. Two days before
the exhibition the "young ladies'" in
formed their teachers that they had
selected two scenes from contempory
drama, that the costumes were ready,
and she must come and see the last
dress rehearsal She came-she Saw
what? heavy ballet and the "March
of the Amazons'' done in style i'm
promptu but effective. The teacher
has been going from one fainting fit
into another ever since, and the girls
haven't yet had an opportunity to tell
her that the whole thing was a joke,
and that they had in reality gotten up
thoroughly another play Of somewhat
less startling character, which they in
tended to act at the exhibition. The
authority for this is a private letter
from the young lady who took the part
of Stalacta, which the recipient
couldn't help "showing round.

Fat Wives.

The people in portions of Africa
have many curious customs and super
stitions. Among the former may be
mentioned the fashion of having fat
wives. Being introduced to great
chiefs wife, Spoke thus describes her ::
g I was struck with the extraordinary
dimensions, yet pleasing beauty, of the
immoderately fat fair one. SIZE could
not rise, and so large were her arms
that the flesh between the ioilsts hung
down like large, loose, stuffed pud-
aings. ~ ..e~
The chief, pointing to his wife, said !:
"This is the product Of our milk pots !;
from early youth upward we keep
these pots to their mouths, as tits the
fashion at the court to have very fat
wives"
A sister-in-law Of the king was a
perfect wonder of hypertrophy. She
was unable to stand except on all
tours. Spoke unblushingly requested
permission to measure her. This is
the result
Round the arm, % inches; chest,
50 inches; thigh, 81 inches; calf, 20
inches; height, 5 feet inches. All of
these are exact except the height, and
I believe [ could have obtained this
more accurately If [ could have laid
her on the floor. Not knowing what
difficulties [ should have to contend
with in such piece of engineering, I
tried to get her height by raising her
up. This, after infinite exertions on
the part of us both, was accomplished,
when she sank down again fainting,
former blood had rushed into her head.
Meanwhile the daughter had sat be-
fore us sucking at a milk-pot, on which
the father kept her at work by holding
the rod in his hand ; for, as fattening
is the first duty of fashionable female
life, it must be duty enforced by the
rod. if necessary"

MY life has little enough of bliss;
I drag the DAYS of the odd eleven
ouuting the time that shall lead to this
The month that opens the hunters. heaven
And oh for the mornings crisp and white,
With the sweep of the hounds upon the track;
The bark-roofed cabin, the camp-ire's light,
The break of the deer and the rifles crack.
Do you call this trifing I tell you, friend,
A life in the forest is past all praise :;
Give me dozen such months on end II
You may take my balance of years and days.
For brick and mortar breed filth and crime,
And pulse of evil that throbs and beats;
Aud men grow withered before their prime
With the curse paved in on lanes and streets
And lungs are choked, and shoulders bowed,
In the smothering reek of mill and mine;
And Death stalks in on the struggling crowd
But he shuns the shadow Of oak and pine.
And of ali to which the memory clings,
There is naught so sweet as the sunny spots
Where our shapties stood by crystal springs,
The vanished hounds. and the lucky shots.

TIE iute market is just now attract

The jute market is just now attract
ing attention in India, and it appears
to be now conceded in Calcutta circles
that this fibre, rather than cotton, is
destined to be the permanent staple Of
India. In the two years between 1870
and 1872 the shipments of iute from
Calcutta rose.from $4,000 to 1000, 900
bales. At the same time the fibre has
been applied to more delicate pur-
poses, and demand for finer qualities
has sprung up. The new jute season
for 1874 opened the othe, day, and,
as usual during the first ten weeks OF
the season, the fibre is fresh and
strong, with silver gray color.

The Great Storm.

A report of the damage done by the
great storm Of August "a has been pre-
pared at the Signal Office, which will
be given in full to the public in few
days. One thousand and thirty two
vessels, OF which 425 were small fishing
schooners, are known to have been de-
stroyed during the oath and 25th of
August in the neighborhood of the
Gulf of ST. Lawrence and the Atlantic
shores Of Nova Scotia, Cape Breton
and Newfoundland. In addition to
this large number, over ninety vessels
were destroyed by the same storm in
it's course before reaching Nova Scotia,
making total of l, 122 vessels destroy
ed with few days. Two hundred and
twenty three lives are definitely report
ed lost, and the most moderate estl-
mate of numerous cases in which whole
crews are said to have been lost, swells
the number to nearly 500; while if this
be added to the loss of life on land
and in the earlier history of the cy-
clone, the grand total amounts to at
least 900 lives. The records also show
that about 900 buildings were injured
or totally destroyed by this storm.

On the morning OF the evictions crowds OF
people poured In from all parts of the ooun-
try to witness the mournful scene OF their
expulsion from their land. The bells or
the two neighboring chapels were set toll

ance of the painful ceremony, and the muir
muir of manly voices and the sobs of wo-
men formed mournful and ominous &C
compartment to those solemn SOUNDS.
And there was also on the scene, as q
matter of course, a large force of militia ry
and constabulary, with bayonets on their
rifles and ball cartridges in their pouches.
After the legal formality of taking possess
ion had been gone through, the local clergy
requested of the landlord, Mr.. Nicholson OF

lowded to remain in the house until they
could dispose of their furniture and cattle
but the request was refused the house
hold goods of the late tenants were put out
on the roadside, and the door was locked
against them for ever. And all this was
"according to the law" all this was within

What do the men of Meath think of it after
having witnessed this heart-rending scene1
What can any set of honest Irishmen say
of it but that it leaves the old evil of capri

that before Ireland can know true peace
that evil must be abolished for ever.
