Margaret Fuller.

Sitting on the girls benches, con.
spicuous among the schoolgirls of I'M
lettered origin by that look which
rarely fails to betray hereditary and
congenial culture, was young person
very nearly of my own age. She came
with the reputation of being sssmart, y
as we should have called it, clever as we
say nowadays. This was Margaret
Fuller, the only one among us, who,
like Jean Paul, like the Duke, like
Bettina. has slipped the cable Of the
more distinctive name to which she was
anchored, and floats on the waves OF
fame as Margaret. Her
air to her schoolmates
was marked by certain stateliness
and distance. as if she had other
thoughts than theirs, and was not OF
them. She was great student, and a
great reader of what she used to call
''nawvels." l remember her so well as
she appeared at school and later that
regret that she had not been faithfully
given to canvas or mar bic in the day OF
her best looks. None know her aspect
who have not seen her living.
Margaret, as | remember her at
school and afterward, was tall, fair COM
plexioned, with watery, aqua-marine
lustre in her light eyes, which she used
to maze small. as one does who looks
at the sunshine. A remarkable point
about her was that long, flexible neck,

Fact; but it requires an exercise OF Gre
dulity to imagine traveller cautious
enough to carry an overcoat at this
season of the year or to imagine thief
who would thus early undertake to
provide himself with winter covering.

To live an entire season without taste
of anything in the line of Strawberries,

Wheeler of Pepin, in 1867, has been
pardonded by Gov. Taylor, after seven
years confinement, on evidence showing
that he plead guilty to save Mrs.
Wheeler who herself murdered her
husband. Carter, it is now said, had
nothing to do with the murder except
that he assisted Mrs. Wheeler to con-
ceal her crime by cutting hole in the
ice and putting the body through it
into the Chippewa river. She, it is
said, killed her husband in momentary
fit of passion, by blow on his head

TiltOn as an Editor.
From the Brooklyn Eagle. !

Woodford soon found out that he
could not ruu The Union and be can
didate for governor too. Every day,
in some direction or other, he was max
ing enemies-and that, to man of his
sensitive feminine mind, was dreadful
state of things.
So he resigned in spite of all Bowen S
efforts to keep him, and
THEODORE TILToN
became editor.
Theodore commenced by the editor
ial announcement that he would devote
his morning hours to The Union,
and the rest of the day to The Iuds-
pendent.
That was his first error.
But he speedily worked great i'm
provement in the personnel of the staff,
and in the appointments of the Office.
His own room, up stairs, was carpeted
and upholstered in the finest style.
Hanging vases, fine engravings, flowers,
baskets of perfume, rocking chairs, gilt
sofas and so on, tended to give the edi-
torial rooms a look of eastern magnif-
cence. And here during the morning
hours Theodore would compose fairy
tale by the way of editorial, and receive
his friends.
1t cannot be denied that Mr.. Tilton
had many lady visitors, and nobody in
the office had at that time the remotest
idea that these visitors and their visit S
were anything but what they ought
to be.
Upon one occasion Mr.. Tiltou sent
into his chief subordinate note word.
ed thus:
Mr.. -, come in my room and see
the handsomest woman in BROOKLYN.
T. IT,
Mr.. - accordingly went in and was
astonished to see lady whom he did
not then. and never since could regard
as handsome woman. but one whose
intellectual brightness was unquestion-
able.
1t was not long before Bowen and
Tilton quarreled. The contract they
had made was this: Tilton to have

as once saw her in a fine storm of in
