Dame Fortunes CanrioAs.

A letter writer states: It is rumored
that the wife and daughters Of ex.Sena-
tor Stewart are to return to Washington
and reinhabit that great pile OF sand
stone known as Stewart Castle. II is
the largest and most expensive house in
Washington, but, as the ladies would
think, the $1,000 600 expended upon it
was o sinful waste. 1t has been closed
since the expiration of the Senator'S
term Of Office in 1876, and has been ad-
vertised for rent at the modest sum Of
at first 500, 010 per annum and later at
SIS, 900 and SIC, 900. But no one has had
the money to pay such a rental and keep
up the house besides, for it will require
several thousands a year to heat il alone.
The moths have destroyed the greater
part Of the furniture, which was very
handsome and costly, having been made
to order in Paris, the fabrics Of uphol-
STEERING having been purchased at the
exposition Of 1873. The house was oc-
cupied only one year, Miss Stewart was
married there and her baby was born in
the house, but after the Senator's term
expired and the Emma mine pulled
down his fortune the family moved to
the Pacific coast, where they have since
been.

which he has trained to wonderful per-

II has been trained to jump up on Mr..
Childers' hand, where it eats its regular
meals. II will run about Mr.. Ohilders
while at work, jumping OIL his shoulders
and head, diving into his pockets as
familisrly as a pet kitten. When told
il will sit up in the middle Of the floor
and squeal and perform many more
tricks,

A Strangers Nose.

Some Of those chaps who wear their ell
bows down thin leaning on saloon coun-
tiers, have au artificial fly with a fine
thread attached TO the back; and some
times these toys can be handled to the
amusement Of a small crowd. When
an unknown man yesterday fell asleep
in a saloon on Michigan avenue the
young man with an artificial fly was
there. He took position behind his vic
tim, who was lying back on his chair,
and presently the fly alighted on the
strangers nose, walked up the bridge
and down, and settled for a moment on
the tip end. The sleeper never moved
a finger. The Fly went oyer the old
route, dove into the corner OF the left
eye, galloped overto the right, and came
down TO the grand stand on q dead run,
but the sleeper slept on. 1t began to
appear that he was used TO flies, and sc
the game was changed. BY sticking a
pin through n Of these toys you eau
make quite q bee Of it, thepin being the
stinger.
When the bee descended on the
strangers nose everybody expected to
see a sudden start, but it did not come.
After a iab at the tip-end the bee
crawled along up, waiting for develop
ments and getting in an occasional sting,
but not even a sigh escaped the sleeper.
The young man with the insect was get
ting tired when the stranger lazily open.
cd his eyes, slowly rose up from his chair,
and coOlly remarked:
Nov, then, if you have got through
fooling with my nose Illfool with yours
for awhile 7
1t isn't likely that particular young
man will ever bangle artificial flies any
more. He was doubled up, straighten-
ed out, choked, mopped and slammed SO
thoroughly that his appetite will run to
chicken broth and arnica for some days
to come. When the cyclone had passed
the stranger called for gin, drank it, and
said to the white-faced crowd on the
bench:
Gentlemen, if any more of you see
anything peculiar about my nose please
call around and let me know,-Fee
Press.

An Ahseni. Minded Reetnr-

A fashionable church in Philadelphia
has a rector who has been placed in en-
barrassing positions simply because Of
his observation-disclosures. Ii was only q
week ago when he was 10 have married
a couple at five O'Clock in the afternoon.
The bride and bridegroom appeared, fol.
lowed by 9 retinue Of ushers. Every
thing wa in readiness except the gen.
tleman who was TO perform the cere-
mony. A messenger was dispatched
to his residence, but the rector had gone
ont OF town. After a wait Of an hour,
a Presbyterian clergyman in the audi
enc volunteered, entered the chancel,
and married the couple.
On another occasion, the rector was
engaged to perform OF st. Georges ho-
tel the marriage Of tho daughter Of a
well. known naval officer. At the ap
pointed hour he failed to appear. Gall
ing at his house. the ushsrs found him
in the dining-room munching toast and
slipping tea. He was hustled into q
carriage and driven rapidly to thehotel,
where the parties were in waiting.
ooh, dear, I've forgotten something,
exclaimed the pastor, when he reached
the hotel door.
What is ii I asked the gentleman in
whose charge he was.
why, my surplice; wonder il they
will allow me to marry them without
it, he inquired in an agitated manner.
ooh, yes, certainly, replied the gen.
tleman. And that wedding went of an
hour later.
On another occasion, a well-known
gentleman up town decided on giving a
party in his honor, and wrote early in the
week desiring to know whether the ap.
pointed date would be acceptable, ask
ing at the same time for an early answer.
Time sped on, and no reply, On the
morning OF the day the social gathering
was TO take place, the acceptance came.
The guests assembled, but the rector
was notably conspicuous by his absence.
The matter had slipped his mind. AS q
climax to the string Of forgetfulness, on
Sunday, it is said the rector gave out
the Psalter for the seventh day, and for
the afternoon service gave out the Psal-
ter for the sixth day morning.

A Daughters Love,

Mr.. Avery Moore, q tax collector Of
Chicago, who defaulted and fled about
two years since, has returned home.
This return is due entirely to the noble
and self sacrificing efforts Of his daugh.
ter, who offered, upon certain conditions,
to pay the amount due from her father.
The weight Of the financial burden thus
assumed amounted to about $1,000, and
its magnitude to the young lady can be
properly judged when it is stated that
she expects TO pay the most Of it during
several years to come by saving from her
own income--that derived from her pit
lance Of q salary as a teacher in one Of
the public schools. About 81, 900 Of the
deficit has already been repaid. Mr..
Moore designs entering business life
again and endeavoring to ~reinstate him
self in the good opinion Of the public.

A Struggle with a Mad Dog.

Near Gold Greek, Faulkner county,
Ark, lives a man named Rhea, a farmer
on a small scale. While Rhea and his
wife were sitting in front OF their door,
two dogs jumped over the fence and ran
under the house. At first very little
notice was taken OF the animals, there
being several fox hHnters in the neigh.
borhood, and the Rheas supposed that
the dogs belonged to them, but present.
ly a terrific bowling and fighting began,
insomuch that Rhea threw chips and
pieces OF wood under the honse. The
bowling and fighting continued for some
time, when at last once OF the dogs darted
out, leaped the fence, and ran away
The other dog, a large brindle, Of decid-
eddy ugly type, followed as far as the
fence, but stopped, turned around, and
started toward Rhea with mouth half
open. Rhea stopped and picked up an
old churn-dasher lying upon q stump,
and as the dog sprang at him struck the
beast over the head. Stunned, the ami
NAL recoiled, but only for a moment, for
he sprang again before Rhea had time
to prepare himself. Graphing the dog
by the throat, and holding his mouth as
far away as possible, a desperate stiug.
gle began. The dogs eyes glared, and
his mouth emitted that froth only known
to hydrophobia. Mrs. Rhea ran into
the house and soon returned with a case.
knife, which she handed to her husband.
Then the combat deepened.' The
biunt-pointed and dull-edged weapon
went time and again against the animals
throat without drawing blood or lessen
ing his fury. The strong grasp Of the
man kept his teeth away, but such Q
grip could not last long. Again the
woman entered the house, and this time
returned with a shotgun. Cooking il
and rushing up to the dog, she placed
the muzzle close to the animals TANKS

The Way IN Wealth.

The Rev. DR.. r. d. Hitchcock, who
is not only a prominent theologian, but
a profound thinker, says: Suppose no
muscle is put into the land; no sweat
moistens it; it goes back into its origi-
nal wildness, and that which formerly
supported one hundred civilized men,
affords support for one savage. The val.
ue which land possesses has developed
by labor. Have you considered how
short-lived labor isl Crops last no
more than a year. Railways, so long as
you stop work upon them, go to pieces
rapidly and cease to be valuable. Houses
have TO be made over constantly. st.
Peters church, at Rome, one Of the
most solid Of structures, is repaired an
nually at a cost Of $50, 900. The rev.
erend doctor might have added, mechan.
les actually live in houses erected on
the top of st. Peters, that they may
watch for any defect and attend to any
leak in the roof. A great part of the
wealth Of the world is only twelve
months old; when men stop working it
passes away. Suppose you earn $1.25
a day and spend the same; at the end of
the year you are no better off than at
the beginning. You have only lived.
Suppose you spend 81, or, better still,
eighty-ive cents; then you have become
a capitalist. Capital is wages saved,
and every man can become q capitalist.
I began to preach at 1850 a year; I've
been there, and know what it is. Ny
rule was then, and has been ever since,
to live within my income. So it would
have been, no matter what my business.
Spend less than you earn; then you will
acquire capital, and your capital will be
as good as that of any other man.

him, and for The moment were unable to
pay the stock company, he exacted the
prompt payment Of the last penny which
was his due. The money was handed
over to him, a few odd dollars being in
rolls Of twenty-five cent pieces, and he
left the box-ofice. Half an hour after

A female African elephant in the
Philadelphia geological gardens died a
few days since. A post norton exami-
nation proved that her death was caused
by having swallowed q number Of peb-
bles, fish bones and sticks. There is
good reason to suppose that these indi-
gestible things, concealed in paper bags,
were thrown into the mouth OF the ami.

pets Of the visitors for four years, and
it was one OF the delights Of the childish
visitors to feed her cakes and apples,
and she received such contributions with
a confidence that proved fatal.
