1T Is gratifying to learn that the Pres.
ident is preparing special message to
be presented at the extra session oil
Congress, recommending that an appro.
priation be at once made to defray the
expense Of proper representation Of
this country at the Paris Exposition
next year. Every one at all versed in
such matters understood that we could
not afford to miss having good Amer.
lean display at Paris. To do SO would
be to throw away much of the advan-
tage Of our own Exposition last year,
and would not be fair treatment to one
great branch of our industry. To wait
I'LL next winter to make the appropria-
tion would cause hurry, extra expense
and loss OF good position on the
grounds, and would be attended with no
advantages to Offset all these. The
President is acting wisely in recon-
mendng that the appropriation be made
at the extra session, and Congress
should promptly put his suggestion in
force.

along, and, seeing the decoy, remem.
bered that the old 'oman was out Of meal,
and conc uded he'd appropriate what he
termed the "big bonanza" Watching
his chance he soon had the yellow
fraud under his arm, making for home.

The scissors cut two or three stitches,
and the sawdust began to pour out.
There were two dark faces made darker
by the herevelation, and it flashed through
Jim's mind that he hadn't struck big

A new story of MIR. Lincoln is related
by correspondent of Harper's Maga.
zine. This gentleman called upon Mir,
Lincoln soon after he was installed, and
while awaiting the Presidents leisure
| In walked several officers of the Spanish
navy to pay visit or courtesy to the
American ruler. They mistook the visi-
tor lor the President, and while they
made their pleasant speeches to the
former, the latter shook with laughter,
and motioned to his caller to 60 on with
the farce. The correspondent con-
cludes: II thought now l had paved
the way to win the position
had come to ask. l made up my mind
10 address the President in a new way.
and thus add to the hold L already had
upon him. SO, when my time came, l
stepped up to MIL. and said: sSIr, l
have seen the annoyance to which you
are subjected by SO mauy aud often-re-
peated requests for lnnumefable posi-
tions, etc. Now if you will permit me to
shake hands, / will,try and smother nv
desire tor certain position which had
come TO ask from you? MIR. l.. jumped
up, and grasping my hand said: sir.
you are one man in thousand. / am
doubly indebted to you. You have
been the means of conveying to those
Spanish officers that the President of
The United states is very handsome
man, then you do not even ask "A office.

NET AND PARTED.

A letter from Charlotte, Mich, to the
Detroit Tribune, tells this story of ro-
mantle affair that ended in way not
customary in the books: "a number oil
years ago husband and vile by the
name OF Guy came to this country from
England, and settled on piece of land
between this place and Grand Lodge.
Previous to their marriage the LADY had
been admired by another, whom she re.
jected. He was afterwards married,
and lived with his vile until about a
year and a halt ago, when he
was'left widower. He then came to
America in search Of the one whom he
first loved, and, after expending con-
siderable time and money, his efforts
were recently crowned with success,
and the two stood face to face. Mrs,
Guy has been widow for nearly three
years. He made known to her his MIS-
sion, but, finding her old and wrinkIed,
instead Of the handsome girl she used
to be, as he had pictured her in his
mind, his desire to marry her abated
and tney both expressed themselves as
satisfied to live alone. Oh the 20 III ult.,

The offer of Miss Rose Eytinge at the
instance OF Mr.. Strakosch, to purchase
from Anna Dickinson the right to play
the 'Crown OF Thorns," is an evidence
of a growing desire on the"part of the
public to have more of this sort of work
from good actresses. Mr.. strakosch has
been successful with Miss Nelson in
roles Of this character, and he believes
the public will be glad to have more good
historical plays. The stage was meant
to be public educator, but it can only

THE Boys WIsH.-Tle other night
about 10 O'clock, a policeman passing
along Larned street came upon a boy
who was walking up and down 10 FROM

if ne lived there, and why he did not &c

"Dad's waiting for me with a whip.''
"Going to dust your jacket, is he ?"
"Thaps the programme" sighed the
boy, "unlessI l can think up something

Now that the excitement over the
Southern Hotel fire has passed, the sto.
ries about all been told, and the responsi.
bility OF the Department been thoroughly
discussed, thinking. people should not
fail to remember this very important
lesson: All who were saved were saved
by merely exercising a little cool
common sense and presence Of
mind, and all who were lost
were lost through abandonment to
frantic terror. There is scarcely ever
a danger of the kind from which per.
son with his senses about him can not
make an escape, and there is rarely a
case of the death of person in this way
that is not mainly attributable to COM
plete loss of all power to exercise
the judgment.
