Pin Money.

The word pin-money is not much used
nowadays, and when it is, is apt to be
used loosely. It Is often employed to
mean an allowance by father or hus-
band for a daughters or wlfes expenses
But the proper significance is womans
allowance for all her personal outlay,
whatever it may be. The origin of the
term is somewhat singular. Long after
the invention of pins, in the fourteenth
century, the maker was permitted to sell
them openly the LIST and Sd of January
only, when the court and city ladies
crowded to the shops to buy them, hay
ing been provided by their fathers and
husbands with money for the purpose
a ter pins had become plenty and chea1-.
women spent their money for other things ::
but pin-meney remained in vogue. The
opinion often expressed, that pins were
invented in France during the reign of
Francis l., and introduced into En1land
BY Catherine Howard, fifth wife of Henry
Will, is entirely erroneous, in 1347, 200
years before the death of Francis, 12, 900.

royal wardrobe for the use of the Princess

mated that hundreds of millions of pins
are used every year in the United States.

SOCIAL SENSATION.

Sudden Termination OF Matrimonial
Engagen,en-A Disappointed audience
-Mysterioms Disappearance of the Bride
Elect.
CENTERv111E, QUEEN ANNE COUNTY, Nd,
September 3.-A somewhat romantic en-
gagement, disappointed audience that had
assembled to witness the wedding ceremony,
the mysterious disappearance and probable
snicide of the bride-e elect and the sudden de-
parture of the groom that was to be, are the
elements upon which rumor has built up
quite a sensational story IN this vicinity dur
ing the past few days. The lady referred to
is Mrs. George w. Taylor, an eminently re-
spectacle widow of great wealth, high stand
ing, stylish and attractive. She has long
been distinguished as a woman of culture
and rare personal charms. She entertained
handsomely, was greatly admired, and, it is
said, has refused more than one desirable
offer. In the circle in which she shone so
brilliantly. she was regarded by some as &C.
centric, but her freaks were not of such a
character as to affect in The slightest her
standing or position in society until Thurs
day evening.
Among other admirers of Mrs. Taylor was
j. W. Merchant, the superintendent of the
lady's estate, and the intimacy between the
two eliminated in an engagement of mar
rage. Thursday evening was the time ap
pointed for the wedding, and the Methodist
Protestant church at Centervlle as the place
for the ceremony to take place. The church
was brilliantly lighted at the appointed time
and the edifce thronged. The clergyman
was in the pulpit and all was in readiness
for the nuptials, which were, however, de-
layed by the non appearance of the BRIDE A
hurried consultation with the minister en-
sued, and the audience was subsequently no.
titled that the wedding ceremony would not
take place at that time. The visitors quietly
dispersed, the lights were extinguished, and
since that time the episode has furnished
material for gossip, and various stories are
in circulation in respect to the singular af-
fair.
After closing the church the minister
called upon Mrs. Taylor for an explanation,
but she refused to see him or any one else.
She remained in her own apartments until
Sunday night, at which time she left her
residence and has not since been seen. On
her bureau was found q note intimating an
intention of committing suicide.
Mr.. Merchant purchased ticket for New
York yesterday, and left for that city on the
early train.
It is possible that there has been an elope-
ment, but as Mrs. Taylor had no one to con-
suit in connection with any contemplated
matrimonial venture, her friends are at a
loss to explain her remarkable and mysteri.

Il Wonderful F2o.oer Blooming In Su,.
Francisco.
San Francisco Chronicle, August 281
large concourse of people visited the
Golden Gate Park conservatory last NIGHT
to pay their tribute of admiration to the
Victoria Regia, tho wonderful colossal lily
which blooms in the night only. This was
the first appearance of the second flower, the
first one having faded. raised platform
has been constructed to afford better view
IF the pond. on the surface of which repose
the gigantic circular leaves, with their Gu
'1ous raised rims. In the center of the pool
rested the wonderful lily, it's whiteness indi-
eating that it was at the first of the three
stages of its life, which endures for three
days. 70 night the lily will be of beauti-
full pink and to morrow night rosebud.
When the flower begins to bloom it exhales
a delicious pineapple odor which is plainly
discernible. The present flower will bloom
for the last time tomorrow evening, and
one of the three buds which have made
their appearance under the water
will open into floral loneliness
on Monday night. The appear
ance of the leaves on the water is far more
striking when viewed by artificial light than
when seen in the daytime, and an open opera
glass will, In the evening, show the colors
and proportions of the lily far more distinct
ly than the u1aided eye. A large proportion
of the crowd which thronge1 the building
last evening were ladies, there being about
one hundred of them, and as many as could
be conveniently accommodated. Most of
them expressed the greatest admiration for
the marvellous leaves and flowers.

partment of the conservatory il also in pos

Divoniensis, night blooming, rosebud

Washington Special
Gossip about the English and Russian
missions is reviving in anticipation Of the
return to Washington of Secretary Evarts.
The recent visit here of ex-Gov. Fenton has
set some qu,d-nuncs to imagining that he
may be the future minister to st. James. The
important question now pending between
this government and Great Britain is that
concerning the fisheries. The question goes
further than the abrogation of the present
treaty, for there must be settled, sooner OF
later, the whole subject of the reciprocal
rights of the people of this country and the
dominion in the waters in which the
nsning business is carried on.
IL Is safe to say, however, that it
will not be necessary that Mr.. Welsh's sue
oessor shall be especially fitted to conduct
the negotiations concerning this matter. Mr..
EVarts is looking very closely after the bust
ness himself, and it is decidedly the wish of
this government that the question, so far as
the other side is concerned, shall be left to
the Dominion government. It will be recol-
lected that the London Times, in recent
article, advocated this course. and it ia ru-
mored here that Mr.. Everats' present visit to
Canada may be taken advantage of to in
formally open negotiations and to inquire
into the extent of the powers which
may be or which have been delega-
ted to the Dominion government in
this belief. A good deal of criticism
has been expended on the state department
for it's slowness in obeying the resolution of
TIE Senate, passed last spring. Mr. Evarts
has, however, been studying the situation
very carefully, and while it may not be proper
to state that he has come to the conclusion
arrived at by the Times, he is undoubtedly
very much impressed with the force of the
suggestion, which will leave the final settle
ment of this vexed question to the parties
most directly interested. The selection of a
minister to England may not, therefore,
depend upon the legal abilities of the candi-
date, and the administration is without
doubt seriously considering the name of ex-
Gov. Fenton, with a view to his usefulness
in the coming monetary congress.

WAS 1T A WHALE?
A Singular Story Told By a Norwegian,
Vessel- Captain.

Vessel- Captain.
New YORK, Sept. 9.-The Rotterdam
steamship, P. Calard, which arrived this
evening, brought Capt. Larsen and eleven
men, the crew of the Norwegian bark Col
umbia, which was sunk September 4, on the
voyage from London to Quebec, in the fol
lowing remarkable manner: The bark was
sailing at the rate of six miles an hour. It
was nearly noon, and the vessel was off the
Grand Banks of Newfoundland. Sud-
denly the bark stopped as if she had struck
a rock, and the crew were thrown off
their feet. Capt. Larsen says that on look
ing over the guards he discovered about sixty
feet of the white belly of some sort of sea
monster lying almost motionless by the
ships side, while the surrounding water was
tinged with blood. He could not see
enough of the creature to make out whether
1t was an enormous swordfsh, whale, or
the legendary sea serpent. An examination
OF the creature was prevented by the cry of
the crew that the ship was rapidly filing
The captain found that the entire bow of the
ship had been stove in, and that laundering
was inevitable. The crew had barely time
to launch the two long boats and get
away with stock of provisions and q
short supply of water when the Columbia
went down, head foremost. About P M. of
the same day the crew were picked up by the
2. Calard. In the fall of 1876 the Cunarder
Scythia, gust after leaving the harbor of
Queenstown, was disabled by the breaking Of
her propeller on a whale. It will be remem-
bered that the half-sunken schooner Waldo
boro has been drifting for the last eight
months toward the Grand banks. If it were
not for the blood of the sea monster and his
white belly the Waldoboro might be reckoned
as an agent in this last mishap. M h..
