NOTES FROM EVERYWHERE.

| A SAN FRANCISCO bride made her
wed ding trip upon vessel On which
she was born twenty years ago.
Mr.. GLADSTONE writes communica-
tons 10Y words long on the back of
postal cards.
AS spring parts from winter, and
| light fingers in the evening sky, the
sunsets are exceedingly beautiful. The
| golden rays mingle with the roseate.
| like the dreams of two lovers.
IT is stated as a matter of much im-
portance that Mrs. Hayes favorite
color is light blue, and that consequent
ly the White House is to be refurnished
in that color.
A CITIZEN Of Sharon, Conn, has in
| vented and is about to have patented
ballot box which registers every ballot
cast, go that one can look at any mo-
ment of the day and tell how many
have been deposited.
| A YOUNG lady in Whitehall, tired of
"going it alone" has married a man
by the name of John Rightbower. It
| is altogether probable she will "order
MIN up these mornings to build a
fire.
The hulk of commodore Perry's flag
ship, which was exhibited at Philadel-
| phla last summer, has been taken to
Trenton, where the timbers are to be
fashioned into canes, baskets, wall
pockets, picture-frames, crosses, and
cups.
A NEWPORT man has cheerful COL
lection of 1886 epitaphs, which he has
been ten or fifteen years in acc,r1o1-
lating, and which he proposes to will to
church in Rhode Island for publica-
ton, on condition that on each Fourth
of July choir of singers shall chant
patriotic airs over his grave.
| IT is stated that the immense am omit
of mineral now being taken out of the
| earth in southwestern Missouri.
| amounting annually to millions of dol
lars, was confined to about 1000 acres
OF land, and there were thousands
more yet undeveloped, but just as val
liable.
A ROCHESTER boy escaped from a
bigger boy who was whipping him, and
ran into church where services were
IN progress, supposing that be had
found safe refuge. But the pursuer,
unaffected by the sacredness of the
place, threw the fugitive into pew
and Dummelled him until some of the
brethren interfered.
A MAN in Ansonia, Conn.,, had tooth
drawn. The charge was fifty cents,
and he rendered two-dollar bill. The
dentist having only 81 in change, the
obiging customer deliberately set down
| and had sound molar extracted to
make the change even. Here is
chance for some one to say this tooth
out story is too thin.
BALTIMORE is the great Methodist
city of this continent, there being within
the limits of the city AZ Methodist
Episcopal churches, 8 of the Methodist
Episcopal Church South, s of the
Methodist Protestant Church, 5 indie
pendent Methodist courches, and 6
African Methodist churches, being "a
in all.
The declaration of farmer that he
could feed a pig bucket of swill and
then put the pig into the bucket with
out half filling it is substantiated. A
bale of cotton, which, when dry weigh
ed four hundred and sixty pounds, was
taken from the Red River wreck the
other day, and found to have gained
four hundred and thirty pounds without
bursting the bands.
ONE of the attractions at charitable
fair in Maine was collection of wax
models of women's hands and feet, the
originals belonging to residents of the
village. The hands were in most in
stances recognized. As to the feet
tn ere was only untrustworthy guessing.
Marks of cOrns, which might have led
to Identification, had been carefully re-
moved.
The 100000 insurance in Boston
companies on the Arctic whaling feet
has nearly all been paid, although it
could legally have been resisted for
several months, or until actual proof of
total loss was made. Some of the in
surers expect little salvage, and think
that in the coming summer there is q
fair prospect that several of he vessels
will be brought into San Francisco; but
this belief is not general.
OVER two hundred men joined in
peculiar hunt In Anderson scounty,
Kansas. They formed large circle
and advanced toward a central point,
driving large number of animals as
they went. Fire arms were prohibited
on account of danger to the men, and
the weapons consisted of knives and
clubs. Thirteen deer and many rab-
bits were killed; but of eight wolves
that were surrounded only two were
slaughtered, the others escaping
through the hunters timidity.
ALTHOUGH no ice bridge has formed
this winter at Niagara Falls, the scenery
has not been without it's attractions.
At the base of the American Falls q
huge ice dome rises three-quarters of
the way up, and numerous quantity
shaped masses over the rocks at the
foot Of the cascade add to the interest
OF the view. On the Canadian side, the
path under the Fails is overhung by vast
icicles, and the light shining through
the falling water and the reflection
from the ice are very beautiful.
