TIE STRANGE FATE OF A PREsI-
DENTS PICrURE.-Somc difficulty has
been experienced in procuring q salts
f. c .oly picture Of President Harrison
to take a place among the Presidents in
the Corcoran Art Gallery, which is
being supplied with their pictures.
Onc was found, however, which is said
to possess decided merit and is now be-
ing copied. The artist who painted
the original alta early day in Cincinnati,
failing ,t0 find n purchaser for ii, turn
ed the canvas and painted a picture on
the other side. for. which he did find
purchaser in Mcpherson Of the subject,
who was at that time noted lady
| physician in Cincinnati. She had no
objections t3: being backed by cold
! Tip,"an SO for il half century he has
bctir facing the wall, and will now be
rcpaintcd or copied and placed in a
position sswhcrc thousands will gaze
, daily upon it. This is true story, and
demonstrates great truth, namely,
that true merit has to lie in obscu:iiy

How THE WOMAN IN WHITE WAS
WRITTEN.- Wilkie Collins to Ohrc
logan: 'tIn writing 'The woman in
Whitc,' then, you had not thc whole
plot thought out before you began?'
"No. | had the resemblance between
the two women fxcdin my mind;
had thoroughly conceived tho charac-
ter of Fosco from the first, except the
detail of Ills being fat man. That
idea did not occur to me until the
whole story was completed. Then
reading il over, and wondering how l
could make him still more different
from tho villain Of the tradition type,
and having often noticed that fat pco-
, pie arc not, as rule, any more yirtu-
Gus or good-tcmpcrcd than thin ttncs,
I simply made him fat. 1t was quito
an after-thought."
a LIVELY TIGER.-Not long ago, in
Calcutta, India, two tigers escaped
from their cage in q mcnagcric. One
Of them was Instantly killed, the other
SWAN the river, sprang into the
Botanic Garden, and killed one of the
guards, upon which the spectators
were panic-stricken and fled. The
tiger roamcd around all day, lord OF
the garden, and, as he grew hungry,
killed first one OK, then another. An
armed native who tried to approach
the wild beast was at once torn to
! pieces. At last several riflemcn were
; employed to destroy the destroyer
They tied an OK to a,tree at the gar.
idcn gate, and took their station on the
roof Of an adjacent house. The tiger
rushed upon the OK, and vollcy from
the riflcmcn ended his career.
