An Affecting Incident.

The New York World publishes a remark
able and affecting incident of the reception
given by the Young Mems Christian ascot
alton in Brooklyn Friday night. The enter
tainment was to consist of music, recitatiOns,
and an address by Rev. ]. Hyatt Smith,
pastor of the Lee Avenue Baptist church.
Mr. Smith was introduced, and the audience
was soon in an uproar of laughter and
cheers at the amusing anecdotes with which
he interspersed his remarks Suddenly a
gentleman walked upon the platform from
an ante room and said to Mr.. Smith in a
whisper, " Mrs. Mcdowell, the mother of
two young ladies now in the audience, lies
dead in the ante room. Please announce
the fact to the audience" Not for the
world" replied Mr.. Smith. Let some ju-
dicious person go TO the daughters and call
them away without letting them know the
worst until they are out of the room" The
young ladies were called out, and Mr..
Smith, who had taken his seat, arose, and
the audience broke into loud applause,
which he instantly checked, made the SOL
emn encouragement, and then offered a feel
ing prayer, after which the audience dis
persed. The lady's death was caused by
heart disease.

General John a. Sutter, the discoversr Of
gold in California, has been interviewed by
Washington reporter, who describes him
as stout, gray haired man, little over FIVE
feet high. He went 10 California in 1888 as
a farmer, and built mill, in the race of

news to his employer. The man couldn't
keep the secret, the news spread and the
general was ruined. he could hire nobody
TO save his immense wheat crop, into which
the prospecting parties turned their cattle.
no one would dig gold for him, and finally
he lost his land to the American government

IL years past been trying to get some COM
pensation for it from the go Fernment.

why "Unele Tom" is Popular.

"Trinculo" writes in Wilkes Spirit:
Uncle Toms Cabin is one OF the most
popular plays ever written.
Do you know why?
Because it has good story of low lifeg
No.
Because it touches the extremes of charac-
ter?
No.
Because of its crowded incidents ard in-
creasing action?
No.
Because there Is an apotheosis In il?
No. The real reason why il is popular is
because there's baby in it.
1t belongs to the late order of Philadelphia
Ledger dramas, in which the maternal and
paternal instinct is touched. and people call
II sweet
Everybody likes babies, except the strong
minded woman.
How well the editor of the Spirit knew it
last Christmas
There is good deal of baby in ''Uncle
1t is the precocious, ideal and good baby
whom the gods love. Or, as the obituaries
say, who are only lent to earth for a brief
season.
1t is ingeniously made to sparkle ell the
more brightly by reason of its jet setting.
Whenever Uncle Tom-black as Erebus-
comes upon the stage, leading the little gold
ndlISu SpTIluSlle uduleel Dy Lne mana,
great wave OF delicious sensation sweeps over
the assembled mothers, yet to be mothers,
fathers and hopeful husbands, who make up
the audience.
1t is astonishing, but it is nevertheless
true, that this sweet baby is the bright focus
of the drama.
God bless the naive little creature. She
tries TO act, and to be as unnatural and an
gelic as possible, in accordance with her
coaching; but it isn't her hIstrionism that
delights us. No, it is nothing more nor less
than the babyhood of her.
Natural babies don't want to be angels
They want to live and bloom, and make
mud pies and rag dolls
1t is the unnatural, the supernatural baby
OF the story book that patters with its fairy
foot contemporary upon the earth, and
looks up like German mystic into the azure
mystery.
This is what Eva does.

Thiers' PaDers.

Any number of stories. all entirely mac
curate, are flying about as TO the disposition
of Thiers' papers. In the first place, there
are no "testamentary executors" Nine
Theirs, the sole and universal legatee, having
only invited the advice oficiously of Messrs.
Mignet and Barhhelemy Saint-Hilaire. Sec
ondly. the only matters which il has as yet
been resolved to publish are the dead states
mans speeches, to be given III four volumes,
covering the epoch of Louis Philhppe's
reign, the Second Republic, the Second En-
pire, and the Third Republic. The history
Of the negotiations with Germany about the
payment of the war indemnity may also be
printed, the manuscripts being complete.
There is no present intention of printing
the correspondence indeed, the value OF
the letters he left-from a grave political
standpoint-has been greatly exaggerated.
AS he was accustomed to develop fully his
views on such things in his speeches and
books, he commented upon them very
briefly in his letters, which are,
as rule, light and familiar notes,
filed with bsdinage The big work
of his life, however, to which he gave every
moment he could spare from politics and
literature, sort of ALIEN bracing B." History
of Man." is in such fragmentary form that
it can never be published

A Story Of Willis.

An article by Mrs Elizabeth Oakes Smith
entitled "Reminiscences of N. p. Willis"
appears in Baldwin's Monthly, from which
we take the subjoined anecdote:
"Mr. Willis was always ready with a good
word for any man or woman struggling with
the sensitiveness of genius over the thorny
way of poverty or neglect. With delicate
tact he would find way to set them right in
the public mind, while SO many editors
passed them by in silence or gave them a
sharp prick with the critical pen. / remem-
ber one case in point: Emily Chubbuck, vi
vaciOus and poetic woman, had been writing
for mere plttance for papers and magazines,
while others, with no more poetic ability and
no more scope OF thought, were well paid
and accepted by the public. She complain
ed of this TO Mr.. Willis, in q half-playfnl,
balf-aggrieved letter, to which he replied:
How can you expect anything better?
you name. Who will read q poem signed
Chubbuck2 Sign yourself Fanny Forester
and you will see the change
''She did 50, and her success was complete,
as those who have followed the fortunes of
this interesting woman. afterwards the wife
OF the East Indian missionary, Judson, will
remember. From this hint of Mr.. Willis
arose a small army of Minnie
Myrtle Minnie May ETC.. till these were
superseded by masculine cognomens. Mr..
Willis wes one of the first to recognize my
self under the nom de plume of Ernest Hell
fenstein,' as did Edgar Poe"

An Excellent Suggestion.
louisville Commercial.l

AS will be seen by the proceedings of the
General Council Dr. George w. Griffiths
introduced a resolution requesting the Hon
orable Board of Commissioners of Public
Charities to appoint board of lady visitors
for the female wards OF the various charities
under their control. THIS is as it should be.
What is every ones business is no ones
business" By the appointment OF a corps
of ladies whose business it shall be to visit
deal of good may be accomplished, as has
been evidenced by the excellent ma nagement
of The Kentucky Infrmary for Women
and Children" the sick aud afflicted Of that
noble charity being constantly cheered by
the visitations of the = Board of Lady Visi-
tors" band OF lady workers, the superior
of which no other city can boast.

A Suggestion for Churches.
New York World

The Protestant Episcopal church has a
usage of refusing TO consecrate churches
until they are paid for. which is very salu-
tary. 1t may be doubted whether an ex-
tension of it to forbid the use of church
for worship until it has been consecrated
would not also be salutary. 1t can not be
satisfactory for bishop or laymsn TO con-
slider that a church is erected for divine wor-
ship subject to two mortgages. Even the
limited restriction now enforced does much
good. The conservation OF ST. Bartbolone " s
yesterday was also celebration OF tue DAY
ment OF the debt. and notwithstanding the
wealth and liberality OF its congregation, it
may be doubted whether its debt would
have been paid off so soon unless payment
had been condition precedent to consecra-
ton.

And sal the nor wind Soughs thro' a.
Oh, cease thy y aDe. thou nOTlan' wind,
And o. thy wailin' let me be;

To weary me, TO weary me!
