Bret Iaarte's Personal Appearances.

lady correspondent in Washington sketches
Bret Harte in these lines 'Stroling through
the lobby at Wizards yesterday morning just
after breakfast hour, saw lounging against the
clerks desk trim well dressed old young man.
His hat was off, and amid the locks of curling
black hair that lay heavily massed over square
and high forehead, threads of grey showed them
selves. His eyes were heavy. Their lids
were Redeemed by that peculiar dull crimson col
or that is produced by long and intense apphca-
ton over the writing or reading desk, but from
beneath their long lashes there shone out gem
ial light that betokens fund Of quaint and dry
hilmor. AS he stood there nonchalantly, talking
to friend, he ran, now and then, his hand
through his hair, as though the head beneath
needed caressing. or as though some fitting ache
warned him that he had brain, and that 1t had
been oyertaxed looked carefully at the face.
Its features were all regular and well mod
eled. The nose carefully, even finely cut
Lheeks not so high, and still retaining the
remnants of the bronze that the summer had
put there The mouth. kindly in expression,
delicately Tipped and mobile-a mouth made
| for smiles and for smile producing. The
moustache heavy enough to shade the hI
and drop gracefully over the rounded chin be-
low. The chin deeply pitted by the cruel mark
of smallpox, but still so smoothed by the hands
of time that careful inspection only detected
the defect The eyes Of that delicate blue-gra4
so expressive Of pathos, SO tender that the.
seemed to Hook straight out from the tender
heart beneath them

1t is announced that the Illinois Central
railroad has determined to charge but S150
hereafter for double sleeping car berths from

Mrs. FOsters Blood Purlfier and letter Ointment
cured me:
was afflicted for many years with disoIdered
blood, a troublesome and obstinate tetter OF the

was the occasion Of prolonged suffering and ex-
ptnae
| consulted eight of the most prominent phys-
ci ms In the city and used their medicine long time
without receiving any permanent relief; on the
contrary getting worse Till finally almost despair
ing Of hope, l was induced TO try Mrs. Fosters
Blood Purifier, which was recommended TO me as
being certain cure for my disease. II was the
turning point in my case after using two bottles
OF The Blood Purifier In connection with the letter
ntment, the swelling ceased, the eruptions disap
peared and now am entirely and efectually cured.

Extravaganza of Ancient BclIes and
= Heaux.
Who, among t..e extrayagant young ladies in
these boastful times, ever gave her lover, as
Cleopatra did, pearl dissolved in vinegar (or
undissolyed) worth 100000 Then there was
Paulna, one of the ten of Rome, who used to
wear Jewels when she returned her visits worth
S200,000 Cicero, who was comparatively poor
man in those times, gave Sl,OO10O0 for his es-
tablishment on the palaune, while Meseala gave
50 100000 for the house of Antony Seneca,
who WAS just plain philosopher, was worth
$50, 100000 Iiberius lett q property of nearly
S120, 900, 900. Cesar aud Mark Antony both
owned wonderful fortunes Why. they talk
about mans failing in New York for million
of dollars, as if it wac big thing. Caesar, be-
fore he entered any office, when he was young
gentleman in private life, owned Si,0OO.000,
sor for 81 500, 600. Mark Antony ownd
81. 500, 600 on the Ides of March, and paid
before the kalends of March. This was nothing (;
be equandered $720,000,000 of public money
And those fellows lived well. Esopus who
was play actor, paid S400, 600 for single dish.
Caligula spent $S00,0OO on a supper. Their
wines were often kept for two ages, and some of
them were sold for $50 ounce. Dishes were
made of gold and silver, set with precious
stones The beds of Hehogahulus were made of
solid silver, his tables were of pure gold. and
mattresses, covered with carpets OF cloth of gold
