She had Her Way.

The little couplet about "When she
will, she will, was aptly illustrated on a
train from Westfeld to Springfield the
other day. A naughty and elaborately
dressed young lady entered the train, fol-
lowed by wee bit of dog, when the
following animated dialogue ensued :
Brakeman, with dignifed air No dogs
allowed on the train, Miss !" Nice young
lady" Dogs are allowed on the train. !"

Ideal Husbands.

\ writer in the Saturday Review says
OF course one would not like to see Wo-
men give themselves to any one, no mat
ter who he might be, for the sake of
getting married but the solid things of
life should be taught them as well as its
poetic beauties, and false hopes, false
ideals, unsubstantial love, should be rig
orously excluded. A bad marriage or a
loveless life is not a pleasant code to that
never-acted romance; nor is the olsen
chantment which comes with such cruel
certainty on the heels of the love-sick and
unsuitable marriages blessing to be de-
sired Beauty fades Passion cools, the
blindness of romance gets couched when
seeing is too late; poetry does not pay
the butcher; and gallantry of bearing
of the 'long sword, saddle and bride"
kind is apt to lose itself in bad domestic
language when the pot is empty of pud-
dings, and half dozen children swarm
about the musty lodgings or dingy quar-
tiers to which love and folly have reduced
the gay lieutenant and his bride On
the whole, Prince Prettyman is a danger
Gus fellow either to get or to wait for,
having the trick of unsubstantiality
throughout. Romantic girls would do
well to reflect that, if they are to have
only one gown in lifetime, they had
better buy one that will wash and wear
creditably to the end, rather than a finn
sY bit of finery that looks well only in
the beginning. and goes to pieces before

tame coon which follows him about the
streets like dog. The Journal says that
he is not only civilized, but an educated
coon, as he understands an order and
does whatever his master tells him. They
sit down and eat their meals together, the
coon initiating his master not only in
taking up a piece of bread in his paw and
biting it, but in lifting cup of water to

Paris Letter from Mr.. Waters.

Paris Letter from Mr.. w attersOn.
Mile Aimee Desclee is, Judged by the
highest water-line of dramatic art, the
most perfect actress who ever lived.
Desclees power is the power of nature.
She neither acts nor declaims. 1t is real
life made terribly distinct. Take her
"Diane de Lys," for example. 1t is
Dumas last, and represents wife in
love with an artist The wife makes two
efforts to elope. The first is foiled by the
timely appearance of the husband, who
simply says to the wouId-be seducer, g If
YOU do not cease to pursue this poor wo-
man, will take your life, and quietly
leads his wife away. The second effort
is failed by the denouement, which con-
sists of the promised threat. The lover
i shot dead by the husband. Rather an
intense plot this; but no rant in Desclee.
When she is first surprised with her lover
she is bewildered, silent, utterly con-
founded. She stands in a dazed way by
a table, and is led off just as another wo-
man might be. In the last scene she
simply drops in chair and is silent. In
each successive phase of the story, in its
laughter and its tears, she is the same
bit of nature-overdoing nothing. Some
how, you know not how, you find your
self carried away, even though you do
understand a word of French that is
spoken. There is no laugh so woman
ike as her laugh. There Is no cry so SUBJ
dued, so like real, heart-breaking cry,
not loud nor long, but passionate. There
is no straining after effect. The effect is
produced and done, and you are touched
Just as you are struck by bullet before
the sound of the pistol reaches your ear

Henry Watterson, writing to the Louis
vile Courier-J ournal from Paris, gives
the views of :" the woman who has the
best turned ankle in England" to the
effect that French girls are singularly
wanting in statuesque attractions" etc
The views were disclosed to him in strict
confidence, beyond question; and yet he
uses them in this public manner, very
well knowing that they will make trouble
when they get back to London and
Paris. Perhaps, on the whole, Mr. Wat
terson had better come home at once and
save difficulty. He has seen enough and
he talks too much.

The kiss has been a powerful agent in
the annals of the human race. There
have been kisses like those of Anthony
and Cleopatra, of Henry VII and Anne
Boleyn, which have shaken an empire or
destroyed religion. If we knew the
secret history of courts, we should proba-
bly, learn that nations have been created
or erased by the magic touches of wo-
mans lips. A great problem, therefore,
lies before Us. Has this discovery proved
an atliction or blessing to mankind?
Probably the latter; for it has certainly
increased the influence of women, and the
influence of women is employed more for
good than for i'll. Beloved, tender
hearted women, companions and con-
soiers of our life ! With a kiss you vel
come the infant to the world with a
kiss you bestow on soft-cheeked youths the
raptures of first love; with kiss you al
leviate the agony OF death. And what,
alas arc the kisses which men too often
give you in return? Judas kisses, treach-
erous and fatal, which poison innocent
hearts and turn to curses on painted and
lips. Happy are they who
can remember without remorse the kisses
of their youth.

He was gasping his last breath as the
first person arrived. 1t is generally sup
posed that he was shot by some one
through the open window.
Up to last evening no one had been
arrested, but suspicion was pointing very
strong at a married woman, with whom
he had been associated. 1t is said that he
had become possessed of number of
diamonds belonging to the woman. and
that he had refused, when requested by
her, to give them back.
Her husband, becoming cognizant of
the transaction, is thought to have led to
the Doctors assassination.

Alleged supernatural Gifts Ase.
slowed ON n PrOmin emit Lady.

From the Springfield (Ill.) Journal, July 6
From Mr. Ed. Hill, Deputy United
States Marshal, who yesterday returned
from a visit to OIney, Riehland county,
we learn some interesting facts connected
with the recent manifestations of alleged
supernatural power by Mrs. Powell, wife
of DIR. [. A. Powell, Of Olney, who will
be remembered by many of our citizens
as prominent member Of the Twenty
seventh General Assembly. 1t appears
that upwards of year ago Mrs. Powell
declared herself possessed Of supernatural
gifts, but being lady Of unusual refine
ment and delicacy, manifestation OF
! them was naturally repugnant to her
More recently, however, as she states,
she was DivineIy instructed to put in
practice her power, and claiming it to be
entirely a heavenly gift, she hesitated not
to comply with what she considered a
direct mandate of the Deity.
Her powers, according to the report of
the citizens of Olney, many of whom fully
accord to her miraculous attributes, is
chiefly manifested in healing the sick.
This is reported TO be accomplished by
the imposition of hands accompanied by
prayer and REPETITION of Scripture, though |
the cure is not always instantaneous, but |
occurs at the time Mrs Powell etates it |
will be accomplished. 1t is further stated |
that so great is the confidence In her /
power that handkerchiefs are sent her,
and they, passing through her hands, are
returned, and effect the cure of the sick
person sending them. The effect of these
several manifestations is said to be de-
pressing upon the health of Mrs. Powell,
who continues them, however, as she be-
lieves, in obedience to Divine direction.
Naturally, these circumstances create
quite a commotion in the vicinity, and
even from places remote crowds are gath
ering to witness the cures. Mr.. Hill
states that on Friday last 112 persons
had called to see Mrs Powell, whose
doors are now open to all who desire her
which are, of course, rem
dered gratuitously. Among those stated
to be cured by her, are several prominent
citizens at Olney, well known in this city. F;
The entire circumstances are Of that pc {
culiar character hardly susceptible of ex-
PLANTATION, more especially as the persons
with them are Of such charac-
ter as to entirely preclude the suspicion !
Of chicanery. 1t may be added that the
subject of these Divine revelations, as she
considers them, is not believer in Spirit /
Ialism, but a member, in good standing, 5

One of the saddest cases of poetry of
which we have ever heard is that of a
young lady in Missouri A short time
ago she found it impossible either to eat
or sleep, and for ten days remained in
that unpleasant state. Strange to say,
the moment she was attacked she began
to speak in rhyme Every sentence ut
tered by those afflicted lips was rich with
sweetest melody and measure. Ordinary
affairs she turned into extraordinary
verse. For instance:
Dearest ma. list to your daughter,
Give her oh give drink of water.''
and so on. These charming rhymes
were made with 10 sort of effort at all,
but just tumbled out, as it were, with
startling rapidity and precision. Some of
them, we are told, were extremely beau
tiful. Alarmed by so dreadful an i'll
Eess, all the nearest physicians were
summoned by her heartbroken parents.
Each pres cribed different opiate, and
by this means the poetry was conquered
she slept-her life was saved. Less Sc
rious cases of this fearful disease have
been known; none before SO persistent
and absorbing as this.
