BALLOt5 MAGAZINE FOR OCTOBER.-
An excellent number is Ballou's Maya.
zine for October. 1t has some thirty
different articles, stories, poetry and a
dozen or moro illustrations, all OF the
first class, and such as any magazine
might be proud OF. Among the stories
we notice thrilling sea yarn, called
"Cobbing the Cook" by VIM. II. Macy,
an old whaleman, and good writer of
sea tales, in fact one OF the best in the
country, and what is most singular is
the fact that Mr.. Macy is blind and does
all OF his writing by the aid of a machine
that Is his own invention. Ballou's Ma.
gazine is great fayoritc, and we do not
wonder Mt it, containing such variety
as it does. The contents of the October
number are: "My Two Loves - Chats.

CORA'S DELUSION.

Cora Depeyster pinned for Prince.
Not a common prince like the snuffy old
Russian we used to see on Broadway,
wearing a greasy fur collar and long
overcoat, eating garlic and drinking
brandy three times d1urnally, and growl-
ing at everything American in the most
detestable English. Nothing of the
kind.
She pinned for prince such as we read
about In the fine old sentimental novels
that amused our fathers and mothers in
the flower of their youth: a Thaddeus of
Warsaw, all talent, and pallor, and tend
erness, and musical voice, and fine, roll
ling eyes, and pedigree, and that sort of
thing.
For my part do not believe in such
princes. The Prince of Wales isn't one
