now ROsSETTI WAS yVEARIED.

1t is said of well-known poet of the
day, lately expelled from the London
Arts Club, that his offence was the piling
together of thirty hats of members and
dancing an Indian war measure on the
top of the heap. He was drunk at the
time, of course; indeed it is matter of
common notoriety that his habits are
most unfortunate. Rossetti used to be
his intimate friend, and after their
estrangement lady inquired how he
could bear to give up his beloved Pyth-
las. "Alas madame" Rossetti re-
piled, "one grows weary of carrying
even ones best friend upstairs every
night" Another lady expressed her re-
gret that Mr.. Swinburne's habits were
such that she was unable to invite him
to her house; Rossetti aroused her joy
full sympathy by informing her that the
poet had quite reformed, but only to
add when she had congratulated him
upon an event so unlocked for and de-
sirable, "He does not now get drunk
more than five days out of the week."

The recent attempt to assassinate the
King of Spain calls attention to the
number of these abortive political
crimes during the present generation.
Three attempts have been made to kill
the present Gar, two upon the life of the
German Emperor, five upon that of
Queen Victoria, and three upon the late
Napoleon III. Sir Robert Peel was once
or twice shot at during his life time, and
Prince Bismarck has received one loud
call All such crimes are infamous but
their successive failures make them SUI
premely ridiculous There was far more
accuracy in this kind of business in the
middle ages. The would-be regicide of
to-day is fortunately a failure.

ABOUT AN APE.

A gentleman was suffering from an ul-
cerated sore throat, which finally be-
came so swollen that his life was de-
SPARED of, when his household came to
his bedside to bid him farewell. Each
person grasped his hand for moment,
and then turning, went out weeping. A
pet ape, which had modestly waited till
the last, then advancing and grasping his
masters hand for minute, also turned
and went away with his hands to his
eyes. This assumption of deep grief,
which it is hardly possible the animal
could have felt, since it could scarcely
have comprehended the problem of NOR
tality there SO powerfully presented to
the human mind, was so ludicrous
in its perfection that the patient himself
was seized with an uncomfortable fit OF
laughter, which broke the ulcer in his
throat, whereby his life was saved.

SCOTCH APPLAUSE.

Mrs. Siddons once described with no
small humor to Campbell the scene of
her probation on the Edinburg boards.
The grave attention of the Scotchmen,
and their canny reservation of praise till
they were sure it was deserved, she
said, had well nigh worn out her patience.
She had been used to speak to animated
clay, but she now felt as if she had been
speaking to stone. Successive flashes
of her eloquence that had always been
sure to electrify the south, fell in vain on
those northern fints. At last she said
she had worked up her powers to the ut
most emphatic possible utterance of one
passage, having previously vowed in her
heart that if this could not touch the
Scotch she would never again cross the
Tweed. When it was finished she paused
and looked at the audience. The deep
silence was broken only by a single
voice exclaiming, "That's no bad!"

FUNERALS IN 1776.

Funerals touched weddings at the
point of feasting, and were often very
expensive, snowy and pompous occasions.
In some parts of the country, especially
among the Dutch of Long Island and
New York, it was the custom for
young man to lay by his earnings after
coming of age, until a sufficient sum
had accumulated to provide for him
respectable" funeral when he should
come to die. Oftentimes the young
burgher would reserve half of the por-
tion of wine which he had literally laid
in for his marriage, to be used at the
funeral of himself or his wife. Special
invitations were sent out for funerals as
for parties. The clergymen, pallbearers
and physicians attending were provided
with scarfs and gloves and sometimes
each with mourning ring, while the
feast which followed the interment at
the house of the relatives of the deceased
elaborate with cold roast meats, wines,
liquors and pipes, was not unfrequently
an occasion of coarse excesses, some
times descending into hilarious and noisy
demonstrations. A respectable" fu-
neral of this description might cost per-
haps $1,000, while the funeral of the
first wife of the Hon. Stephen Van Rens-
selaer is said to have cost not less than

THE would-be regicides of the old
world make bungling work in their at
tempts to confer immortality upon
crowned heads. They are unsuccessful
in substituting a celestial for a terrestrial
diadem. 1t is we'll for Kings and Kai-
sers and Princes that no American has
ever yet felt the impulse to draw bead
on them. An average Kentuckian would
make vacancy in their high offices in
nine cases out of ten at any reasonable
distance. A Western frontiersman
wouldn't fail in an earnest purpose to
change the royal succession in one case

Sweet be the stars that glimmc1
Above your paths of life,
Sweet be the faithaRd glory.
Sweet be the dear old story,
Ahi love, dear love, forever
Shield these two hearts from strtta
Glove thy sacred meaning
Is in the faith divine
That binds two souls lagether,
That holds through sunny weather
And through the falling darkness
Truths majesty as thine.
o time dost thou not cherish
What men do cherish still?
Days radiance softly covers
The steadfast faith of lovers,
Life's tendernesses blossom
Where souls have learned to thrill.
o time dost thou not cherish q.
The union born for timer
No love is meant to sunder;
True love is love whose wonder
Grows lovelier with the ages,
Forever in its prime.
All ye who now are treading
Where older souls have trod--
List to the deeper teaching
Of life far-spread, far reaching,
List to the hopes subhmest
That bloom In Man and God.
Sweet be the years whose brightness
Swells through the glad to-day
Sweet be the life ye cling to,
Sweet be the faith ye sing to,
Sweet be the truth ye follow,
Sweet be the prayers ye pray

Two EXPENSIVE CIGARs.--A few evenings
ago downtown merchant, while waiting
for street car, stepped into a cigar store
ana called for two cigars. As he was max
ing selection car approached, and toss
ing the tobacconist a two-bit piece, as he
supposed, he took two cigars and jumped
on board the car. When he entered the
store he had in his pocket only two pieces
of money, namely, tve-dolar piece and a
twenty-five cent piece. When asked for his
fare, lie handed the conductor what he sup
posed was the gold piece, saying, You will
have to change tive-dollar piece" This is
only two bits" remarked the conductor, and
50 it was Jumping out of the Car, the mer-
chant returned to the store and related
what had occurred. The tobacconist de-
MED that he had been paid gold piece,
saying, 81 have not seen a tive-dollar piece
for week" "Open your cash drawer and
see if there is not a hve-dolar piece with
the silver" said the merchant The tobac-
conist complied with the request, and there
nesting among the silver lay bright five
dollar gold coin. The merchant claimed
that this coin had been paid by mistake.
The tobacconist would not listen for mo-
mont to such an absurd proposition. All
argument and reasoning of the merchant
proved unavailing, and after freely ex-
pressing his opinion upon what had trans
pired he took his departure a sadder, but
wiser man. San Francisco Bulletin.

expected. Her exhibits were late on the

eral other nations. But our people bring

one hundred and thirty awarded, one
hundred and thirty-fve gold medals, two
hundred silver medals, two hundred and
