An Exchange, speaking of the death OF
John King Lovejoy, says he was one OF
the most eccentric, contradictory and
coarse humored men of all the old pio-
neers, and one Of the spiciest of and
toughest of newspaper men. His very
cratic and rough manner made him
hosts of friends.

How Russians Learn English.

The Russian method of acquiring for
eign languages is more methodical than
that OF any other nation. In the first
place foreign nurse, usually English, is
secured for the baby. The Russians arc
very careful in choosing this parsonage,
because, as she is not on any account to
breathe into the infants ear an accent of
plebeian Russ; her speech must be free
from these colloquialisms in which ladies
like Sairey Camp are apt to indulge.
When the child is about nine years old
foreign playmates are sought for it. Du-
ring the summer months the children of
English and French residents in Russia
are at premium. 1t is a regular prac-
tice for them to spend their holidays on
the estates of Russian nobility. Besides
the pleasure which the trip into the in
terror affords them, they mostly return
home laden with presents, and if boy is
sharp enough to be able to add little
grammatical instruction to his practice as
"conversationalist," he may pick up
enough pocket money to last him the re-
mainder of the twelve months Lastly, a
tutor Or governess is engaged for the
child until it can converse in a foreign
language as freely and flucntly as a ma.
tive. Language masters make fine liv.
ing in Russia. In spite Of their numbers
English teachers may be counted by
the hundreds they charge high price
for their instruction, and are held in great
esteem by the Russian, who often retain
their services for years.

The Earl of Dudley.

The Earl of Dudley is British noble
man who, if he were not British noble
man, would be extremely apt to be adj
judged lunatic. His eccentricities arc
as incompatible as his income, and Lon
don society never has the least idea what
he will do next. Some years ago he
amused himself by sending out invita-.
tons to ball at his mansion in three COL
ors, pink, white, and crimson. As the
guests arrived they were shown into diff
tcrent parts of the building, and the re-
suit was that before the evening was far
advanced his lordship was discovered to
have sent white, cards to all the women of
the world about whom scandal had never
whispered a word, pink cards to all those
| about whom scandal had succeeded in
raising doubts, and crimson cards to all
those about whom scandal had left no.
body room to entertain any doubts at all.
It may be imagined how popular the
Earl was made by the ingenious proceed
ing. His latest freak was performed the
other day. He determined to give ball,
and issued invitations on vast gilt cards.
A few days before the festivity lady
| who had been honorcd with one of these
cards received letter from him inform
ing her that he had seen her, somewhere
in dark apparel, and that she must either
lay aside her mourning or deny herself
the pleasure of attending his ball. Tho
lady in question enthusiastically accepted
| the latter alternative On the morning OF
the ball another lady, who had been tho
recipient of one OF the gilt cards, received
letter to the same effect, written, not by
the Earl himself, but by his private sec.
retary.-ErchanQe.

The Executed Chinaman.

The gallows-trcc had blossomed during
the morning in the San Francisco Jail
yard, and Chin Nook Sow, on his last
afternoon on earth, could hear the car
pcntcrs at work. His cell was dark,
dirty and bare; there was no furniture,
not even broken chair; in the corner
there was a straw mattress, with a blanket
rolled up at the foot, and there the Chi
nese murderer was awaiting his doom.
He had lived heather and he would die
a heather, and after death he wished
to have his bones taken from Christian
land and shipped across the sea to heather
China. He showed no signs of fear.
Me no care!:' he had exclaimed again
and again. He asked nothing Of Christi
anlty. 1t there were any hereafter at all
and he couldn't say much about that
he would be ready to meet those whom
he had murdered.
1t was little indeed that Christianity
could do for Chin Nook Sow. The mid
afternoon sunlight could not slant into
his cingy cell, but there was something
bright and fragrant there. A lady who
had delivered lecture in the city on the
previous evening had sent beautiful
bouquet of choice flowers to the prison
gate, and the jailor had put it on little
shelf over the murderer's mattress. Did
the delicate blossoms suggest in dim,
far-otf way the possibility of another life
that would help him to explain this world?
Probably not; for he was very stupid
heather. But the air of the dungeon was
swcetened; the murderer's eye caught
something that was beautiful and bright
before the shadows Of the gallows-trc
gathered around him.

How Children are Fed In Africa.

The women in west Africa are very fond
of their children. Childlessness is dis
graceful to women. Deformed are often
put to death or sold into slavery. Their
regard for their children's comfort cx-
presses itself in special ways. The child
is fed till it will eat no more, then it is
stuffed by peculiar manipulation by
which the food is forced down its throat.
Then it is rolled over and over, and by a
snap OF the thumb and four fingers its
stomach is sounded, when, if it does not
appear satisfactorily full in the mothers
estimation, the. process of stufing, and
swapping, and. sounding is repeated, un-
til there is little room left for doubt, that
there's no vacuum there at least for nature
to abhor, though none be able to say how
much the little creatures abhor this pro-
cess and repletion. After being we'll fed
the child is we'll rubbed with palm oil

A YEAR AGO.

A. year ago We walked the woods,
A year ago to-day;
The lanes were white with blackthorn bloom
The hedges sweet with May
We trod the happy woodland ways,
Where sunset lights between
The slender hazel-stems streamcd clear,
And turned to gold the green.
Thrushes sang through the cool, green arch,
Where clouds of wind flowers grew;
The beauty all was lost to me,
For lack of love to you.
And you, too, missed the peace which might
Have been, yet might not be,
From too much doubt and fear Of Fate.
And too much love of me.
This year, Oh, love! no thing is changed;
AS bright sunset CLOVIS;
Again We walk the wild wet woods,
Again the blue-bell blows.
But still our driftcd spirits fail
Springs happiness to touch;
For now you do not care for me,
And love YOU too much

PROCEEDINGS IN CONGRESS.
SYNOPSIS OF THE REPORT.

WASHINGTON, October Is.
The report Of the Silver Commission
has been completed, and makes l2S
printed pages. The following are the
most important points contained In the
conclusions of a majority OF the Com
mission upon facts aud considerations
hereinbefore set forth; and after care
fully weighing the views presented to
them, orally and in writing, by vari
Gus persons, the Commission submit
the following to the questions
referred to them by Congress. The
first relates to the causes OF the recent
change in the relative value of gold
and silver, and to the effect of that
change upon trade, commerce, lin ance
and the productive interests in this
country. The causes of The recent
changes in the relative values OF gold
and silver are mainly the demonetiza-
ton Of silver by Germany, the United
States and the Scandinavian States, and
the closure of all the minis in Europe
against its coinage. These principal
causes weie aided by a coutemporane-
u diminution of Asiatic demand for
silver. and by An enormous exaggera-
Ian OF the actual and prospective yield
OF The Nevada silver mines. The ef-
feet OF characterization 70 far accomp-
lished, and OF the resulting disturb.
