" The Mad Parson."

Sheridan gives the following sketch of
Dean Swift's first appearance among the
knot of wits who used to assemble at
Buttons coffeehouse:
They had for several days observed
strange looking clergyman come into the
coffee house who seemed utterly unac-
quainted with any of those who frequent
ed it.; and whose custom it was to lay his
hat down on table, and walk backward
and forward at q good pace for half an
hour without speaking to any mortal, or
seeming in the least to attend to anything
that was going forward there. He then
would take up his hat, pay his money at
the bar and walk away without opening
his lips. The name he went by among
them was that of the "mad man." One
evening they saw him cast his eyes sew
eral times on gentleman in boots, who
had Just come out of the country, and at
last advanced to address him. In very
abrupt manner, without any previous
salute, Swift said, "Pray sir, do you re.
member any good weather in the world?'
The country gentleman, after staring a
little at the oddity of the question, an
swered, eyes, sir, I thank God, I re-
member good deal of good weather in
my time" "That is more," said Swift,
ethan I can say; I never remember any
weather that was not too hot or too cold,
too wet or too dry; but, however God
Almighty contrives it, at the end of the
year, 'tis just as we'll" Without taking
the least notice of any one he walked out
of the coffee house, leaving the specta-
tors still more confirmed in the opinion
of his being mad.

An Eden.

I could take my readers up into q high
place-not as certain willy potentate
did, into high mountain, but the tower
of the cathedral-and there point out the
splendors Of Valencia Vale. There it
lies in the enduring emerald of perren-
NAL spring, this paragon Of gardens, this
terrestrial paradise! Spensers's Knight
had many hardships to undergo before
he found his bower of bliss, where maid
ems pressed from the growing grapes the
wine he quaffed, and with their rose
ate wine press Fingers, to wit presented
to him goblets purple with the light of
love. In some sort we are doing Sir
Callidore in fairy land; we have gone
through debris and desolation, to find at
the end our Valencian Bower of Bliss.
No wonder the invalids come hither
for dry, tonic climate. The winds lose
moisture or their cold before they salute
Valencia. The peasants are honest,
buoyant and pleasure-seeking. Their
dresses are gay; the domes of their
churches are draped in cerulian hues !;
their streets are twisted, as if they had
drank whole rivulets of the dark, red
wines of the plains around their noun

CaIifornia's Orange Crop.

A citizen who owns an orange orchard
in Los Angeles county, says that the
cropt his year will not be as large as last
year-that is, there will not be as many
oranges in number, but that they will
average much larger than last year. The
crop year ago brought, on the trees;
an average of 81 per 1000: 1t is said
that the crop has has already been sold
to San Francisco dealers. Last year
most of the orange crop of San Bernadi-
no county went to Arizona, and it is
probable that the greater part of it will
take that destination this year. Arizona
opens a new market for the fruit growers
Of southern California. The mining de-
velopements of that territory are increas-
ing the population. There are no
orchards in bearing in that country. The
pioneer miner is always hungry for fruit,
and these people made better market
for oranges last year than could be found
elsewhere. There are an immense num-
Der of orange trees which have come IN
to bearing in southern California within
the last three years. The new trees, OF
course, bear light crops, but these great
ly augment the aggregate. Twenty-Five
dollars per 1000 make these crops a g
very desirable one, when each tree Will
average 1000 oranges, and great many
trees 60 long way above that number

The Young Lady's Dream.

Dark clouds obscured the moon, and the
air was damp and chilly. Soon she
deserted in the semi-darkness boat,

terrific rapidity down and immense

see but he was gesticulating wildly, as
if imploring succor from the fate that
impended him. On, on, went the boat;
faster and faster grew it's speed; wilder
and more despairingly still were the
gestures Of the unhappy man until justas
the frail bark was about to go over the
brink of the~awful cataract into the
seething waters below, the occupant
turned, and she recognized the features
of her lover-while voice rang out
from the clouds, "Another soul lost

Andrew Jackson's MARRIAGE.

From papers hitherto withheld, the
story of Andrew Jackson's marriage is
now told correctly for the first time.
Rachel Donelson, his wife, grew up
among the stirring scenes of frentier life,
and when yet in her teens married Cap
tain Louis Robards. Robards treated
her so wretchedly that Peyton Short, o
Virginia lawyer, wrote to Mrs. Robards
to Get divorce. As was intended, the
letter fell into the husbands hands, the
idea being to provoke a duel. Instead
of fighting the craven husband tried to
blacknail Short for money. Mrs.
Robards was taken by her husband to
Kentucky, where she was placed at Mrs.
Donelson's boarding house. Andrew
jackson was boarder there. He fell in
love with Mrs. Robards, and, having
learned that the Virginia legislature had
granted her a divorce, married her:
Two years after the marriage, he heard
to his horror, that his wife had not been
divorced at all. He set to work, how
ever, got the divorce, and in 1894 he was
re-married. Philadelphia Times.

An Evening with Bismarck.

few moments spent in pleasant chat, Bis
marck called the servant, and ordered
him to bring in brandy and glasses. The
glasses were of the smallest size, the
same size as the glass we call a pony: I
saw there was no water or sugar brought,
and when Bismarck poured two glasses
full of the brandy saw it was white, so
I concluded that it was q milder drink
than the French cognac, and thought if
he could drink it clear would not be
outdone. I took sip of it, and never
in my life did experience such q sensa-

Save the Ra0s.

The price of paper has been advanced
from 81 to 10 cents oil over the country.
IF this price is maintained, the public
will be compelled to pay more for their
newspapers. Many daily papers have
already increased their price from 20
cents to 80 cents per week, and weekly
papers from $3.50 to $500. * ="
= The advance in paper can be stopped
if the people will save and sell their old
paper and rags. Three months saving of
rags and old paper by the entire popula-
tion, and selling them in the markets,
would check the advance in paper. Rags
are worth 8 to 81 cents per pound.

appeal to the people in this matter. And
they should also economize in the con-
sumption as much as possible. =2::s.

On March there will be celebrated at st.
Petersburg, with great pomp, the anniversary
IF the accession of the Emperor Alexander to
the throne of all the Russias. The reason
why such programme of unusual display is
expected on the occasion is because the day is
that Of the cars half jubilee, or twenty fifth
anniversary Of his succeeding his father, the
late Emperor Nicholas. To render the cere-
monies all the more imposing, nearly all the
members of the imperial family will assemble
together, and the Christian princes of the
Balkan peninsula will be among the number of
guests bidden to st. Petersburg. The king of
Greece is also expected, the prince of Montene-
gro, too, and their eonsorts, it is thought, will
accompany them. 1t is rumored that the op-
portunity will be taken fol the formal betrothal
of Prince Alexander of Bulgaria, to Russian
princess.
