Hawthorn ut BowdOiR College.
fScribner's Magazine. /

Hathorne (as the name was spelled in
college, and by himself until later in
life) was a shy, morbidly sensitive young
man, who often "took dead in his
recitation, but stood first in the class as
a writer. In the preface to "The Snow
Image" "a book dedicated to his class
mate, Horatio Bridge), Hawthorn recalls
the day at "country college," when the
"two idle lads" fished in the shadowy
little stream wandering riverward
through the forest" "shot gray squir-
rels," "picked blueberries in study
hours" or " watched the logs tumbling
down the Androscoggin." The authors
college life was prophetic of the after
years. when he so dwelt apart from the
mass of men, and yet stirred so deeply
the worlds sensibilities and delighted
its fancy. His themes were written in
the sustained, finished style that gives
to his mature productions an inimitable
charm. The late Professor Newman, his
instructor in rhetoric, was so impressed
with Hawthorne's powers as a writer,
that he not infrequently summoned the
family circle to share in the enjoyment
of reading his compositions. The recOl-
lection is very distinct of Hawthorne's
reluctant step and averted look, when
he presented himself at the Professors
study, and with girlish diffidence sub,
mitted composition which no man in
his class could equal. He had few init.
mates among the students. One of his
special friends was Franklin Pierce, in
the class above him, and this fellowship
lasted till that early morning among the
New Hampshire hills, when the ex'
President saw the fading moonlight ten
derly resting on Hawthorne's dead face
When the class was graduated Haw
thorne could not be persuaded to joir
them in having their prOfiles cut in paper
the only class picture of the time, no
did he take part in the commencement
exercises. His classmates understood
that he intended to be a writer o
romance, but none anticipated his re
markable development and enduring
fame. 1t seems strange that among hi
admirers no one has offered him fittin
tribute by founding the Hawthorne Pre-
fessorship of English Literature in tn
college where, under the tutelage of tn
accomplished and appreciative Professo
Newman, he was stimulated to cultivat
his native gift.

The late Sultan was the thirty-third

the twenty-sixth Sultan since the con-
quest of Constantinople. BY the law OF

In the harem have the title of Imperial
Princesses, which, however, does not de-

children not called to the throne must
remain unmarried or abdicate their
rank. II has not been the custom of
Sultans of Turkey for some centuries to
contract regular marriages. The in

Be Gentle at Home.

There are few families, we imagine,
anywhere in which love is not abused as
furnishing the license for impoliteness.
A husband, father, or brother will speak
harsh words to those he loves best simply
because the security of love and family
pride keeps him from getting his head
broken. 1t is shameful that a man will
speak more impolitely at times to his
wife or sister than he would to any other
female except low and vicious one.
It is thus that the honest affections of a
mans nature prove to be weaker pro-
lection to a woman in the family than
the restraints of society, and that a
woman is usually indebted for the kind
est politeness of life to those not belong
ing to her own household. Things sought
not 20 to be. The man who, because 1t
will not be resented, inAicts his spleen
and bad temper upon those of his hearth
stone is a small coward and q mean fell
low. Kind words are circulating mediums
between true gentlemen in society and
nothing can atone for the harsh language
and disrespectful treatment too often
indulged in between those bound to-
gether by Gods own ties OF blood'
and the still more sacred bonds OF con-
iugal love.

Romantic.

Seldom in those dramas in real life
that in tragic pathos surpass all that
ever was writ by playwright, has been
brought to light anything more touching
than the few lines, in schoolgirl scrawl,
addressed her parents and sisters by
Julia Sichel, a beautiful young Jewess
of San Francisco, who a few days since
committed suicide. Hers was simply
the story of unrequited love. There was
no taint of guilt about it to awaken re-
morse, nor broken vows to be reproached,
but only blank despair. As in those few
lines she unwittingly betrays, her love
was unsought, but so all-compassing was
it that, with unmaidenly boldness, she
sued for love in return, and finding that
hopeless, the light went out of her life
and she sought refuge in death. Her
letters tell it all with that transparent
simplicity which no art can simulate.
To her parents she wrote:
DEAR MOTHER AND FATHER: l pray you
will forgive the sorrow l cause by my rash
act, but life is one dull blank to me now.
Do not blame Ben, for he has tried to reason
with me, but all in vain. He can give me
no hope that l shall ever be more to him
than q friend, and, rather than live without
his love, have determined to take my life.
There are few requests l would ask OF
you, and then / am ready to die. First OF
all, promise me, dear father, that you will
hold Ben entirely blameless, and for the
love bore him treat him ever as friend
/ do not want mother, Annie, or Mollie to

ments would only be reminder of my sac
end. Let me be buried where the sur

Say died for love. That is all 1 want the
world to know. Try to bear my deatf
bravely, and take comfort from my sister
and brothers. Dear parents, forgive ant

DEAR MoLLIE: would ask of you few
favors. They are these: When 1 am dea'

Soap on the Stairs.
[Chicago Tribune.l


A gentleman residing on Aberdeen
street was, until Friday last, inclined to
favor female suffrage. His wife had
prudcntly delayed moving till after the
lst, SO as to take advantage of the fall of
house-rents. The house to which they
moved had tremendously steep fig ht
of stairs, and an oil-clothed hall. The
wife had the stairs scrubbed down, and
left the soap on the top step. Her hus-
band was up stairs, with basket full of
clothes pins in one hand and clock un-
der the other arm, when his wife, who
was down stairs, saw a mouse, and
shaking her skirts madly, bounded up
on the table and let off series of shrill
shrieks beginning on high ZZZ above
the clef. Her husband, thinking the
house was on fire at the very least,
started to run to her rescue, and, step.
ping on the piece of soap that she had
so thoughtfully left on the stairs, sat
down vehemently at the top of the
fight, and slid down with the speed Of
thought. Fire few from his false teeth
as he hit the edge of each step, volleys
of clothes-pins were discharged into the
air and felt rattling and rebounding on
the oil-cloth, and the clock shed its in
wards over the universe. The injured
husband had little time for reflection
when he reached the glare oil-cloth o.
the hall and shot across it with scarcely
diminished velocity, literally making tne
oil-cloth and the seat of his pantaioons
smoke with friction, and finally bringing
up against the door with violence tina,
threatened to burst the side out OF tht
house. The fearful concussion startled
his wife, who.turned a back.somersaui
from the table into tub of soap-suds
in which she was so tightly wedged tina
sbe had to throw a handspring ant
canter on all fours like turtle, with ,
tub on her back and cataracts of sud
inundating her. Meanwhile, the hiret
woman fell off the step.lsdder with
crash like pile-driver, and Jared dow
most of the plaster cornice. When tn
mans wife had sloughed her tub, sh
sauntered calmly into the hall and re
marked, "Well, men are the clumsies
and the hall had just been washed
too" Her husband did not say much
but he thoughts good deal and now, b
says, Just let Susan b. Anthony com
and lecture here again, and If no othe
man has the courage to hiss, he will, s
help him Jasper Packlemerton.

Says the Florida Press: We witnessed
novel and beautiful sight a few days
ago at the farm of Mrs. Hildreth on the
North River, about two miles above the
city. Mrs. Hildreth, in the course of a
few months, has succeeded in tanning the
wild birds that fly about the place.
While we were in the house Mrs.
Hildreth went out to the door and called
to the birds, which were then, in the
middle of the day, in the adjoining
forest. In a few moments dozen or
more blue-birds and mocking-birds came
flying around her. She then came into
the house and handed each of our party
a raisin, which we were requested to hold
out in our fingers. We remained still
for few minutes, when the birds hoped
in at the door, flew upon our hands and
picked the rasins from our fingers. We
were astonished, and could not help
wondering the more when we were in
formed that none of these birds had been
Gagged, but were thus tanned by the
gentleness and art of this lady.

How Indians Cure Meat.

When her lord has killed buffalo the
woman's work begins. She has to skin it
to secure the meat, and all to pack upon
ponies and mules, and carry to camps
where the meat must be cured. This is
done by cutting it into thin sheets and
hanging it over poles in the hot sunshine,
where it is soon dried thoroughly; then
it is packed fresh in packages of about
one hundred pounds each, and inclosed
in nice folding sack of thick buffalo
skin, prepared especially for the purpose.
This is not dressed down thin after being
fieshed, but we'll tanned and of the full
thickness of the skin, the hair side nicely
ornamented with paint for the outside
of the sack. This is cut out like huge
envelope, 80 that the ends and sides may
fold over whatever is put in them, and
secured by strong buckskin strings. By
being thick it retains its form, and is
very useful for carrying other things be-
sides meat and tallOw. After the meat
is taken care of the skin must be looked
after. Those taken at this season of the
year are mostly dressed for lodges.
They are first staked on smooth spot of
ground and water put upon them, when
they are ready for feshing. This con-
sists in removing the flesh with an instru-
ment made of straight bar of iron,
about foot in length, fattened at one
end and filed to an edge. This being
grasped in the hand, and succession OF
blows given, the work slowly proceeds
The skin is then dried, after which the
hair is removed in a dry state, and the
skin reduced to the proper thickness by
dressing down on the hair side. This is
done with an instrument made by firm.
ly tying a fat piece of steel, filed to a
beveled edge at one end, and with the
corners rounded, to large prong of q
deer's horn. This is so trimmed, in con
nection with the body of the horn, as to
form an elbow, and is used little as q
carpenter uses his adze. This work il
usually done in the cool of the morning
The brains of the animal, having beer
properly taken care of for the purpose
are now soaked and squeezed by th'
hand until reduced to a paste, and ap
piled to both sides of the skin, which j
afterward worked and rubbed unit
flexible. The preparation of robes i
from winter skins, and differs from TIN
foregoing only in being dressed down Of
the flesh side, 80 as to leave the wool an
hair upon the robe, and is more thorough
ly worked and secured by means of
sharp-gritted stone.
