Mr.. Webster, in one of his con-

made this extraordinary statement.
Il am not unaware said he, 'and it
would be afIectation in me to deny
it, that have public reputation to
leave to posterity but it has been
earned with difficulty. If were to
live my life over again, with my
present experiences, I would, under
no circumstances, and from no con-
siderations, allow myself to enter
public life. The public are migrate
full. The man who serves the pub
lie most faithfully receives no ade-
quate reward. In my own history
those acts which have been, before

least stained by selfish considera-
tons, haye been precisely those for
which have been most freely abus-
cd. No, mol have nothing to do
with politics. Sell your iron, eat

A few days since a young man
had an arm torn oil in some ma
chinery in the Marysyille, Califor-
MIA foundry. After the arm was
buried the boy complained to his
mother of pain in his lost arm, and
said that its cramped position in the
box in which it was buried added
to his pains and aches. The mother,
who has labored night and day for
the relief of her son since the acct
dent, informed Peter, an elder son,
of what Ed. complained, and advls
ed him to go to the cemetery, dig up
the box in which the arm was buri-
ed, straighten the limb and rebury
it. Peter performed this duty, and
the next morning, after the physi-
clan had dressed the shoulder and
departed, the mutilated boy said to
his mother, This is the first morn
ing the doctor has dressed me with
out great pain, and feel quite easy
The mother had not informed the
afflicted boy of what had transpired
at the cemetery.

When royalty takes it's airing in
London's fashionable park, loyal
Britons of both sexes pay it the def
erence of drawing off to the way
side, that 1t may the better be gazed
at, admired, and bowed to. And
this is q sketch of the scene: "Last,
but not least, comes royalty-last,
because they do not generally come
into the Park till after six O'Clock.
A single mounted policeman is seen
approaching, and as he comes line
is formed up to the center of the
drive; he is soon followed by a sim
pie victoria, drawn by gray horses,
seated in which is the Princess of
Wales with three of the young
princesses, her daughters, two on
the seat beside her, one on her knee
"a pretty, charming sight. The
Princess looks lovely, as young as
ever; everything about her is trim
and neat; q tight-fltting costume
and ruff high up round her neck !;
the little princesses in sailor hats.
1t is etiquette not to trouble the
Princess with much particular no.
tice when driving in the Park, but
so endeared has she become to eve
ry heart that the rule has to be brok-
en- through, and ladies bow and
smile and gentlemen take of their
hats as she passes, and in turn all
receive a kindly recognition from
this truly angelic Princess. This
occurs every afternoon. Year after
year the interest increases-her re-
ward for a truly loving nature.
How different to the fortunes of her
sister-in-law, the Duchess of Edin-
burgh, whose outwardly cold and
unresponsive demeauor when in
public repels everybody. Other
members of the royal house mIngle
in the crowd, and are not preceded
by any outrider. The carriage of
the Princess Mary Adelaide, Ouch
ess of Teck, is drawn up under the
shade of the trees, and she is chat
ting gaily with friends. gathered
around her carriage. Her splendid
face is animated, and her laugh Is
delightful to hear, and makes one
forget her rather too large figure.
She is one of the most popular of
rrincesses, and has q warm place in
everybody's heart She is happy in
the possession of q noble, handsome
husband and beautiful children.

A Strange Burial.

The obituary of the Gentlemdn's Magd-
zine for 1888 contains an account of the
funeral Of Mr.. John Underwood, of
Whittlesea. in Cambridgeshire. When
the burial service was over, an arch was
turned over the coffin, in which was
placed 3 small piece of white marble
with this inscription: "Non omnis
mortar. l733." The six gentlemen who
followed him to the grave sang the last
stanxa of the second book of Horace.
No bell was tolled; none but the six
gentlemen invited to the funeral (and no
relation) followed the corpse. The coffin
was painted green, and the deceased lay
in it with sll his clothes on. Under
his head was placed Sanadon's Horace;
at his feet, Bentley's Milton; in his right
hand was placed q small Greek Testa-
ment; in his left hand . miniature edi-
ton of Horace, lettered "Mysisamins.
J. IT," and Bentley's Horace under his
back. After the ceremony was over they
went back to his house, where his sister
had provided = cold supper. After the
cloth was taken away the gentlemen
sang the thirty-first ode of the first book
of Horace, drank . cheerful glass, and
went home about 8 in the evening.
Mr.. Underwood left nearly $4,000 to biz
sister, on condition of her observing thii
will. ordering her to give each of the
gentlemen 10 guineaA He also specially
desired they would not come in black
clothes. The will ended thus: Which
done would have chem drink cheerful
glass and think no more of John Under
Wood."-AN he Year Round.
