Only WY Husband.

Adelaide Nelson is an English beauty,
whom we will shortly welcome. Miss
Nelson has made many conquests in
New York. Her parlors in the Fifth
avenue were never without her admirers
in seasonable hours. She had a big hus-
band named Lee. He seemed more of a
factotum. A New Yorker fell madly in
love with the actress while she was play
ing as Rosalind and Amy Robsart at
Booths Theatre. Every night he was
in an orchestra chair, with a big floral
emblem for her, and every afternoon,
came bearing more flowers. The charm
ing actress liked nothing better than to
loll back in the divan, with a rich
bouquet to pick at, while the admiring
eyes of several gentlemen beamed on
her from ottomans and easy chairs about
her.

Cat and Looking Glass.

Many years ago, at Carne farmhouse,
where relatives of mine were then living,
the household cat was observed to enter
bedroom in course of being spring
cleaned. The looking-glass being on the
floor, the cat, on entering, was confronted
with its own reflection, and naturally
concluded that he saw before him real
intruder on his domain. Hostile demon.
strations were the result, followed by a
rush to the mirror, and then meeting an
obstacle to his vengeance, fruitless cut
around to the rear. This maneuvre was
more than once repeated with, of course
equal lack of success Finally, the cal
was seen to deliberately walk up to the
looking-glass, keeping its eyes on the i'm
age, and then, when near enough to the
edge, to feel carefully with one paw be
hind, for the supposed intruder, while
with its head twisted around to the from
it assured itself of the persistence Of tn
reflection. The result Of this experimen
fully satisfied the cat that he had beel
the victim of delusion, and never afte
would he condescend to notice mere re
fections, though the trap was more tha
once fixed for him.

A Strange Presentiment.

The Monongehela Republican says:
"On the 10Th day of July, 1878, an old and
well known citizen of Peters Township
died in his eighty-sixth year. Living
with him was young lady twenty-four
years old, who had just finished her edu-
cation, and whose aim and ambition had
been to secure a high scholarship. In
this she succeeded by the most assiduous
study. On the day of the grandfather S
funeral she came home, and after medi-
tating for some time over q problem
which seemed to engross her whole mind,
was asked what was the reason of her alb
straction. Recovering herself the lady
stated with considerable emotion that she
would die in just one year from that
date-she felt it to be true, and without
knowing why, seemed confidently certain
it would happen. The days wore on, the
young lady developed consumptive ten
denotes and in just one year from the
death of Mr.. Boyer, the old gentleman
referred to, she too died, in the same
house, in the same room, at the same
hour and was buried on the anniversary
of her grandfather's funeral"

CAPITAL and Interest.

From the Tribune's Z or FINANCE
Rates of interest can be reduced in this
country only by more saving of capital
at home and more lending from abroad.
But before men save or lend, they want
safety. The same mill or farm that can
now pay eight per cent interest on $4,000
borrowed capital could better pay four
per cent on $4,000, for the use of larger
means would enable it to yield more.
Thus, if more capital could be saved and
loaned, 50 that rates of interest might be
reduced, more could be safely borrowed
and used with profit in thousands of cases.
But there is only one way to encourage
men to lend, and only one way to stimu-
late greater saving Of capital. First OF
all, it must be made sure that good dol
lars shall be paid for good dollars loaned
No laws can force down the rate of inter.
est because no laws can compel men to
lend or induce men to save. Confidence
is the only fertilizer that will bring @
large yield of capital.
Some fanatics complain because any
interest whatever is charged for the use O
money. But what man has earned i
his own. He can spend it if he choose
and save nothing. Or, like the sayages
he can work only enough to supply hi
needs. If he works more and denies him
self the pleasures in which all his earning
might be consumed, a civilized society
i glad to make it worth his while. In tn
form Of interest on what he saves societ
paws him not to eat or drink all that h
earns, but to keep part for his old ag'
part for his family, and part for the builc
ing up Of larger industry hereafter.
can well afford to pay all the cost
inducing men to save, for, if they did no
lcivilization and progress would be impo

Attempt to Murder a Clergyman.
la.,

Last week a most unusual attempt was
made to murder clergyman in the black
country. The victim of the outrage was
Rev. J. G.. Rocker, the aged vicar of
Cosely, near Wolverhampton, now in his
sixty-third year. He was coming out of
a grocer's shop in Lower Gounod, when
a stonemason named Charles Hartland
deliberately fired at the vicar with re-
volver, and three bullets lodged in the
old gentleman's head and neck. Hart
land was at once arrested. On Monday
the injured man lay in a hopeless state,
but sensible and able to take fluids. He
describes feeling one ball at the back OF
his neck and another over his right ear
These, the surgeons say, it would be Ger.
tain death to attempt to remove, while
their presence must bring on infamma
ton, by which the brain will be affected
and death in that way brought about
1t is believed that the third bullet passed
out at the mouth, the roof of which i!
lacerated, and the reverend gentleman
face and head are shockingly swollen anC
disfgured. His BROTHER clergyman O
London, is with him; and he is furthe
watched and tended by Mrs. Rocker hi
two unmarried daughters, and his son
who at the time of the offense was il
camp with the Fourth Battalion of Stat
fordshire Volunteers, of which he is al
officer. From the Bishop of St. Alban
and from other persons Of distinction b.
whom Mr.. Rocker was well known, nj
merous expressions Of coincidence ar
reaching the vicarage. These are con
municated to the sufferer, and they affor
him much comfort. He repeats his trus
that his assailant may be dealt light
with.
Mr. Rocker, who holds the degree {
MA, has done pure mission work tt
past thirty-one years; for Lower Corn
is the home of the poor hand mailer
The vicarage is in the midst of the
smithies, and to him the people have ev'
appealed in their distress.
One of the bullets in the head and nee
of Rev. J. Y. Rocker has come throug
the roof of the mouth and passed I'M
the stomach. The patient has partake
of solid food, and is slightly better. A
effort will be made as soon as practical
to extract the bullet which remail
lodged over the left eye, where it Civ
intense pain. The surgeons are expressil
hope that they may yet be able to a
tempt to extract it without increasil

cleveland Penny Press

The Appletons, after much considera-
ton and long waiting, have finally con.
cluded to accept the terms of the Board
of Education, and to introduce their
readers into the Cleveland schools on an
even exchange for the present readers for
the first two months, and at the same re-
tail price as the present readers subse-
quent to that time. This is direct yio-
lation of the school book publishers
union agreement that there should be nc
reduction in the price of text books to
secure their introduction. The Apple.
tons were party to that agreement and
having broken faith there will likely now
ensue a most bitter school book war all
over the country. Superintendent An
drew Jackson Kickoff is no doubt happy
over the thought that his acts have caused
heretofore respectable house to violate
business contract.

Newport Letter

Ialways I spend day in this venerable
institution when am in Newport, and
look at the old pictures and gaze at the
old books; recall the noble names of
Bishop Berkeley, Charming, Styles, Hun
ter, King, Champlin, Hottinguer, Touro,
Russell, Weturne, Brooks, Lenox, its be-
nevolent friends and its benefciaries.
How pleasant to read the tributes to its
quiet influences from these distinguished
men!
l am sorry to hear that it is now in
debt and that it is going to decay. 1t
looks as if it needed money.
| saw some ladies looking at a new
book, and found that it was a Medallic
History of the United States, by M. Lou
bat, an accomplished Frenchman, who
has spent $4,000 in his favorite taste.
1t is superb and luxurious book, and
the engravings beautiful. 1t has pictures
of every medal, from the first one given
to Washington down to those rendered to
Cyrus w. Field. 1t is astonishing to
notice how much finer those are which
date back to our early days after the Rev.
olution. They were made in France, Of
course, designed by the first artists, and
the inscriptions written by the member
of the French Academy.
One given to the captors Of poor Andre
sort of oval medallion, is singularly
beautiful, and one wonders what those
farmers did with it. 1t was far more fittet
to be worn by the unfortunate cultivated
gentleman whom they captured.
The one commemoratng James Miller
modest 'Tll try, sir" is also very hand
some. Many Of those whose names art
now forgotten are brought before us again
and we 60 from Oliver Hazard Perry tt
General Grant, wondering how many
heroes came between. There is one giver
to John Quincy Adams, in which thu
nose is so prominent that it provoked
comment in France as being an impossi
BILE profile. Probably done from bac
silhouette.
Altogether the work reflects infnit
credit ON the taste, bearing and liberalit.
of M. Loubat. 1t is work which ever,
library should possess 1t is useful his
torically and artistically. l wish tha
