A MOnstrOSity.

Among the odd things that have tran
spired lately is a breakfast given by
Mile. Milly- Christine, the double
woman, to the Paris press. This feast
was given with great style at the Grand
Hotel. The call was responded to by a
goodly force of reporters, all eager to
discover how the creature partook of
food and would receive guests, and
many were the surmises as to whether
the two heads were served separately,
and if the monster could eat with one
mouth while the other drank. A mas
ter of ceremonies, dressed in black, in
troduced the visitors into the saloon,
where they were received by the odd
hostess and her guardians. The lady
was dressed in black velvet and silk,
the bodice made low in neck, and a
profusion of chains, rings, and brooches
adorned her pelson. On entering the
dining room it was found that one chail
served the double woman, but that
| separate plates, etc, Were placed Just
| as though for two distinct pei sons, and
to all appearance two separate beings
indulged in the dainties of the bounti
full spread. After the collation. Miuy
Christine sang and danced for theil
| guests, all of whom remained until the
hour arrived for the monstrosity to ex
hibit, and then took their departure,

tiest, darlingest, m st fashionable and
most fastidious' young self-admirer that
ever lisped and languished in drawing

castles party last spring One of the
company was blooming damsel from
the country-a fresh, rosy-cheeked,
bright-faced girl, over whom the I'M
pressible bachelors were in ecstasies.
Pumpkins saw and admired. Pumpkins
determined to make an impression. He
stared at her through his quizzing
glass until he had stared her out of
countenance. Then he approached her.
She was engaged in knitting pair of
oversocks for one of Mrs. Bonnycastle' s
children.
"Aw," said Pumpkins. Knitting,

Mr.. Pumpkins?

Three Safe Ways of Sending Money

With all the facilities afforded the
people for transmitting money with alb
solute safety, people will persist in
sending money in the shape of green
backs in letters.
Now, with all the chances to which a
letter in the ordinary mail is exposed,
it is inconceivable that man would
risk the loss of his money in that way,
when there are three practically safe
and secure ways of remitting it.
l. By bank draft, which if stolen is
of no use to the thief, who will very
seldom run the additional risk of for
gerry and being identified. Such draft,
however, can only be obtained in towns
where bank is established.
2. By money order. This is abso-
lutely safe, the Government being re-
sponsible for the money. A money or
der, however, can only be obtained at
money order offices, but their number
is now SO great that most small remit
tances can be made in this way.
B. By registered letter. This is also
perfectly safe method of sending
money or valuables through the mails.
This idea we would like to impress
upon every man, woman and child III
the community: "Never send money
in letter in the ordinary way" 1t is
not safe, and if money is lost there is nc
redress for the sender.
Either buy draft at the bank, or 9
money order at the postoffice, or have
your letter containing money registered

HANaIRG CLOTHES IN THE House,
From this time till April 1 have fUlndit
a good plan TO hang clothes to dry in
the house. A garret or wood house
chamber used for this purpose makes a
great saving in comfort, health, and
cloth. Those who have suffered, it
know what exquisite torture it is to pin
clothes on 81 line in freezing weather,
and how often one takes cold in doing
it that hangs on till warm weather.

One of the most prominent traits of
MIR. Tylers character was the assiduity
with which he made flattering promises
to persons who held office when he came
in power, and the cheerful rapidity and
perseverance with which he broke
them. When he was made President,
by Harrison's death, Jonathan Codding-
ton was Postmaster of New York, Mr..
Tyler sent letter asking Mr.. Codding-
ton why he had not renewed his bond,
aud when that gentleman replied that
he expected successor would shortly
be appointed, the President assured
him that nothing of the kind was con
templated Mr. Coddington renewed
his bond, and about week afterward
possession of the office.
During the Tyler regime the Madi-
SOnidn was the official organ, and sup
ported the President with fealty that
was delightful to behold. Mr.. Tyler
gave all the office holders to understand
that it would be to their advantage to
Immediately subscribe to that paper.
OF course, everybody who had the
slightest regard for continuance in
Office, and who desired his head on his
shoulders, sent the subscri ption price
($lO to Washington, and took the Mad-
isonian home as a gentle narcotic.
A friend of Mr.. Tylers wrote the
President life ; and the latter, wish
ing to have his gentle virtues under
stood and appreciated by his admiring
countrymen, caused bales of the "Life"
to be dispatched to all the public offices,
and desired everyone in the service of

Last Hours of Charles Sumner.

Senator Schurz gives the following
account of the last two hours of Mr..
Summers life. At noon Mr. Sumner
seemed to be in a sort of stupor, but he
gradually grew brighter. Mr.. Schurz
sat on the bedside, holding his hand,
which was very cold, there being scarce
ly any indication of circulation of the
blood. After little while, he asked
Mr. Sumner if he knew him. Mr..
Sumner then opened his eyes very wide,
tried to smile, and said, "Why of
course know you, Schurz." He seemed
to be fully conscious, and able to con-
verse. He could not see plainly, how
ever, and asked Mr.. Schurz what was
before his eyes that prevented him from
seeing clearly. He tried to push away
the obstacle. Mr. Schurz then asked
him if he suffered great pain. He re-
piled that he did not, but said he felt
an intense weariness. During the next
hour~he repeated many times, "Oh, L
feel SO tired" He was restless, but
and the livid hue which his countenance
had shown during the morning seemed
to leave it. In fact he seemed to be
recovering little. Mr.. Schurz, think
ing that he might be growing better,
went home, and upon returning half an
hour afterward, found him expiring.
While he was fully conscious, he had
asked for an injection of morphine to
relieve him. The physician told him
that he could not have this applied.
Soon after this, he was seized with a
terrible convulsion, which was followed
by severe fit of vomiting. When this
was over he turned over on his bed
and almost Immediately but quietly ex-
pired.
The last words spoken by Mr.. Sum-
ner were addressed to Judge Hoar, who
was sitting ON the side of the bed, and
trying to induce a circulation of the
blood in his arm. Judge Hoar said to
him " l wish l could get some warmth
into your hands," Mr.. Sumner re-
piled clearly, "You never will" This
occurred not more than Is minutes be-
fore he expired, and showed that he
was conscious until the last.
