Take a Pinch.

A curious old custom is kept up in the
United States Senate chamber. On each
side of the vice presidents seat are fast
filled by the attendants. They are the
result of a custom inaugurated almost
at differentiation of the government,
when snuff taking was universal hab-
it. Thurman is the only senator who
makes habit of using snuff, but some
times Senator will stop and take an
occasional pinch, while many visitors to
the chamber take little out of curiOsi-
ty. At first one box was kept on the vice
presidents desk, but in those days so
many of the Senators used the article,
and. SO frequently forgot to bring their
boxes with them, that it was resolved to
place two public receptacleS for it, and
in the annual expenses of the Senate is
always found the item snuff. The aged
dOOrkeeper, Isaac Bassit, stated to Phil
adelphia Bulletin correspondent that he
had often seen Henry Clay leave his
place in the midst of speech, walk
gravely to the box take pinch and con-
time his remarks. when was a page,
nearly so years ago." said he, many. of
the Senators would give me sign which
indicated that they wanted snuff, and
would carry the box to them. Nearly all
the Senator'S used snuff in those days.
Henry Clay was in the habit of giving
me so cents week to keep his box full
of snuff, and have never forgotten that
when he left here for the last time, he
owed me so cents for this service.
never brought bill against the estate .
said the old gentleman smiling, "and
I guess the debt is Outlawed by this
time"

drives over with me an hour later to the
cottage of the ''twO widows"
FRANCHISE meets us at the door, cOur-
tesying and smiling. Jeanette. she
tells us, has gone out for a little walk
but will return soon. Thinking thai
Franchise could best break the news tt
her companion, 1 tell what has qbefallen
Eustache, and she, though much over
come, promises to tell Jeanette as gent
ly as she can. v ST ven i
But it is not from FRANCHISE that
Jannette hears the story. As We drive
home by the cliff near the camp OF the
Romans we see Jeanette standing on
the very edge, rough looking fisherman
near her, and both are looking down in
to the sea. svez
.she knows already, fear j say to
Monster ParadOl.
Leaving our carriages, we go toward
the two, and locking down, as they were
doing, we are just in time to see three OF
four fishermen lifting the poor bruised
body of Jeannette's lover from hollow
In the rocks, where careless wave had
tossed 1t. There are no tears in her eyes
as she stands watching those below, but
as they take up their dripping burden a
sudden light comes into her beautiful,
pale face, and she springs forward as if
she would leap into the sea, which has
proved so cruel to her and those she had
loved. Quick as her movement has been,
the fisherman by her side has been
quicker, and his strong arm holds her
back.
Two days more, and Eustache's funeral
is held at the church in Palais where he
was to have been married Every one in
Palais knew the handsome Eustache
Frentin, and the church is filled with
sOrr0wing friends, The two ladies from
Vannes are there closely yelled, ROllie
and are beside Monsieur ParadOl and
his sister; and just before US is jean
nette, weeping and supported by Fran
cOise. The aged priests voice trembles
as he proceeds with the service, and the
clear sweet tones of the choir .falter
sometimes as they utter their responses.
That evening ROllie tells me that he
has paid the priest to say masses for
poor sEustache for a month.
Not that / believe in that sort of
thing he adds; "but if it will do the
poor, fellow any good, Aunt Sue -
And have not the heart to remon-
strate.
b The next day but one we go to Auray,
taking Jeanette with us. She can no
longer bear to live near the sea, she tells
us, and think of finding home for her
with some friends in America. Fran
cOise goes to live at Monsieur ParadOl's
and assist his sister in her household
cares, and SO the home of the "TwO
Widows" at Belleisle-On-Mer is left

uwas. il wa. the Cat.

"A curious incident occurred at the
navy department the other day. An old
sailor turned up with claim for an ex-
ira allowance voted by Congress to those
who served in. the Mexican war. He
gave his name as John C0wan, and said
that he served on United States schOOn-
er, which did duty on the southern coast
at that time. The records of the vessel
were searched, but no trace of John
COwan was discovered, although it ap-
peared that there was a man named
JOhd Kirwan on board of her.. =, He was
then asked to furnish some evidence by
which he could be identified At first he
could remember nothing, but after a
while he said that he did remember
having been cOurt-martialed and sen.
fenced to 30 lashes with the cat, 1(
having been given at Havana, 10 at Key
West and 10 at another point. Again
the old log was searched, and it was
found that John Kirwin had received &c
blows with the cat O'-nine.tails. The
Identification was deemed sufficient, and
the man was given his money.
