Crawford, first shook hands with 1.-THE
lady and then with her husband.
"WeH, bless me" said Mike, but 1
must have been fool, Bob; not to have
known you"
Mrs: Curren brought her two chill
dren from the other room, and pre-
sented them to Mike, saying:
Yes, Bob Hall is the mother of these
two children"
Mike and his companion remained
Tor hours at the Currens' residence.
Mrs. Curren related to Mike how, when
she was rescued, she deserted and came
nome: She also made Mike relate to
her what he had done since thew were
shlp-mates on the Cumberland. Mrs.
Curren is now woman in the prime of
LIE. In appearance she is somewhat
masculine. Her hair she keeps rather
closely cut for woman, and were she
to-day to dress up in male attire she
would pass for one of the opposite sex.
When the war broke out she had
some trouble with her parents, and left
the parental roof. Failing to find en-
ployment and being compelled to live
on the charity of others, the girl OBJ
tanned boys clothes and enlisted in the
navy as cabin boy. Her sex was new
er discovered. While aboard shin the
girl was up to every trick, and there
are many men living in the Fifth
Ward to-day who can tell of the pranks
played upon them by Bob Hall of the
sloop-of-war Cumberland.

The Fifteen Young-Lady Problem.

The London Mathematical Society
lately occupied itself with discussion
of the following problem: "In school
of fifteen girls a rule has been laid
down that they shall walk out every
day in rows of threes, but that the
same two girls shall never come togeth-
er twice in the same row." The rule
is supposed to have been carried out
correctly during the six working days
of the week, but when Sunday comes it
is found impossible to send the girls to
church without breaking the rule. This
problem was announced more than q
quarter of a century ago, and has en-
gagged the attention of distinguished
mathematicians, for the reason that it's
solution involves the use of mathe-
NAUTICAL synthesis. Prof. Sylyester's
paper, in which the subject was dis
cussed was "on fifteen young ladies

theory of pure syntax. The Golauy.

A Picture of Adelina Patti.
Correspondence of the Boston Post.


Patti has lost none of her great pop
ularity, and sings as beautifully as ever.
l was at Covent Garden the other night,
and saw her looking unutterably pref
rty. Anything more artistic and grace
full than the picture she made that
night | have rarely seen. Her box was
on the ground tier, and I was close to
her, and could feast my eyes at leisure
She was dressed, as she very often is,
entirely In white, without a thread of
color upon her. Her dress was of
white silk-not glossy silk, but of
dull, ribbed texture. It was simply
made, the front of the skirt being per
fectly plain, without tunic or apron,
and the back part or train being div i'd
ed from the front by pleating of silk
and tulle. The bodice was slightly open
in front, with a thick quilting of tulle
around the neck, and the sleeves were
tight to the elbow, and then broke in a
voluminous frill. Her long white gloves
reached, of course, up to the sleeve,
and she did not commit the incongrui-
ty of putting bracelets over her gloves.
She wore, in fact, no jewelry round her
mech or In her ears, but the lilac in her
hair was fastened with some magnif-
cent diamond sprays. Patti looked ex-
cessively well in this simple costume
for it was simple, and, with the excep-
ton of the diamond clasps in her hair,
was not beyond the reach of the most
moderate income. It was amusing to
me to watch the sensation she created
among the audience. The Duke of
Connaught, the Princess Beatrice and
the Princess Charlotte, of Prussia, were
in the royal box, but they were eclipsed
in point of interest by Nine. Patti. ALI
the opera glasses were leveled at her.

A Martyr to Science

A Burlington naturalist last Sunday,
while investigating the causes and effect
of the poison Of wasp sting, nobly de-
termined to make Of himself martyr
to science, and accordingly handed his
thumb to an impatient insect he had
Gagged in a bottle. The wasp entered
into the martyr business with great
deal of spirit, and backed up to the
thumb with an abruptness which took
the scientist by surprise. He was SO
deeply absorbed in the study of REM
edies that he forgot to make any notes
of the other points in connection with
stings, but his wife wrote paragraph
In his note book, for the benefit of
science, to the effect that the primary
effect of wasp sting is abrupt, blasphe-
nous, and terrific profanity, followed
by en- intense desire, fairly amounting
to mania, for ammonia, camphor
and raw Observation-Disclosures Hoau1ce,n

A Mean Advantage.
gtOn Chronicle

From the Washington Chronicle
There were a score of women gather
ed together at Mr.. Johnson's house.
MIR. johnson is good hearted man and
q respectable citizen, though he is rather
skeptlcal about some things. The
women had just organized "The Foreign
Benevolent Society,"" when Mr.. johnson
entered the room. He was at once ap-
pealed to donate few dollars as a
foundation to work on, and Mrs. Ora
ham added:
"lt would be so pleasant in after years
for you to remember that you gave this
society its first dollar and It's first kind
word"
He slowly opened his wallet, drew
out a $40 bill, and as the ladies smacked
their lips and clapped their hands ne
asked:
us this society organized to aid the
poor OF foreign countries ?"
"Yes-yes-yes," they chorused.
"And it wants money!"
"Yes-yes
well, now" said Johnson, as he
folded the bill in tempting shape,
there are twenty married women here.
If there are fifteen of you who can
make oath that you have combed
your children's hair this morning,
washed the dishes, BACKED the cook
stove, and made the beds. I'll donate
