IngersOII the Inhdel.

Col. Robert g., or, as he is generally
called, Bob, Ingersoll, is native of the
western part of New York; but, when
very young, removed with his parents to
Ohio, and afterward to Illinois. His
youth was passed on native prairies and
in primeval forests, ard he grew up In
dependent in character aud rugged in
constitution. While in his teens, he
left home; drifted around; picked up an
education, studied law, and soon ac-
quired q local reputation in Southern
Illinois as as eloquent pleader. His
father was a Presbyterian clergyman,
who was very strict, but allowed Bob,
always a skeptic, to express his radical
opinions, because he wanted him to tell
the truth. Ingersoll is said to be one OF
the most, if not the most, popular OF
lecturers. His infdel opinions prevent
his engagement in regular courses, and
his dissertations on theologic topics are
attended mostly by men, either young
or old; but women flock to hear him,
and are greatly pleased when he speaks
on subjects OF a domestic nature. He
received 81, 200 for one lecture in San
Francisco, reported to be the largest
amount ever made at one time by any
lecturer. His wife and children share
his heterodoI views, and have always
done so. They are said to love him
devotedly, and bis home lifeis described
as happiness itself. Neither Of his two
daughters, now young women, has ever
been inside of church, even when they
we're travelling in Europe. From his
profession and lectures he earns from
$4,000 TO $70,O00a a yeal, and spends
most of it. He gives away q great deal
in charity, believing that when a man
saves he becomes selfish and begins to
petrify. He now calls Washington home,
and his practice there is mainly parlia-
mentary law. He has host of friends
who are warmly attached to him, and he
is reputed in private life to be as lovable
as he is entertaining,

The Rise of Gambetta,

Sometimes men leap from obscurity
to fame in a day. One Of this rare sort
is Leon Gambetta, the great French
leader. 1t would perhaps be too much
to say that his sudden rise was the re.
suit OF accident, for had he not been a
man of genius the opportunity would
have been offered him in vain. But the
opportunity to show men what there was
in him was accidental. On certain day
in 1868, Jules Favre, the renowned ad-
vooate, statesman and academician, had
great cause to plead; cause, however,
more political than legal. But that day
he was i'll; some one must take his place;
and, at somewhat rash venture, he
chose as his substitute an almost abso-
lutely unknown, out-at-elbows, loul
talking Bohemian cafe orator. M. Favre
knew Gambetta but little, and mainly
knew him as all ardent and outspoken
Republican. The mere issue OF the
trial, which was that of certain editors
for opening their columns to the Baudin
subscription, was nothing. At time
when, under the empire, free speech was
forbidden the Republicans on the plat
form, such trials were seized upon by
Republican orators as the occasions Of
fierce attacks upon the Napoleonic
regime. What was needed, then, was
bold, eloquent, devil-me-care, red-hot
Republican, who would stand up and
lash the empire without mercy before
bench Of imperial judges. Gambetta
electrified all France by his speech. 1t
was tremendous indictment against
Napaleonism. Never did an orator pro-
duce a more immediate or more over
whelming effect. When Gambetta 10y
down that night his name was ringing
in every club and on every boulevard in
Paris.

The Freaks of Fashion.

Gendarme blue for blonds and garnet
for brunettes are the favorite colors this
winter.
a favorite chatelaine ornament is en-
obloDg silver locket containing look
ing glass which may be put to practical
use.
Large cards are used by ladies. The
name is engraved in script. A card
should be left for each person called
upon.
Sets Of gold jewelrY are seldom cold
nowadays, as it is the custom to buy
different and fsnciful pieces; hence the
prices are much less.
The newest ribbons are OF Persian de-
sign with fringe on one edge nearly an
inch in depth interspersed with tiny
tassels containing all the colors in the
ribbon.
The one fanciful piece Of iewelry now
worn is the bracelet, and some ladies go
30 far as to wear it instead of the linen
cuff or other lingerie at the wrist, which
it can never replace. For this purpose
the serpent bracelet is used, as it is fieE.
ible, and may be made to clasp any part
of the arm and remain stationary.
Stones are mounted in more solid work
than formerly, and diamonds look es-
pecially well when set in silver. What
is called the gypsy setting, where the
diamond is imbedded in the gold, is
more fashionable than the knife.edge
setting that merely caught the stones.
The favorite brooch is the useful
shape, long and slender, with a strong
pin, and is known as the lace pin, be-
cause of the prevailing fashion of wear .
ing lace on the throat and bust. This
style is used for diamonds and pearls, as
well as for the simple gold or silver
brooches worn in the morning. For dia-
monds there is an Etruscan gold band,
or, better still, frame in which the
pendent diamonds swing.
The Fanchon, or handkerchief-shaped
bonnet, according to Harper's Baaar,
is again revived, and is liked because it
is SO universally becoming, and is so
simple that lady can make it without
the aid of miIliner. The small frame
is pointed in front, lies flat on the top Of
the head, and has no crown. 1t is very
pretty when covered with red or black
satin, across which rows OF black beaded
Breton lace are slightly gathered. Some
large loops OF black satin or OF garnet
ribbon form bow on top quite far back,
which is partly covered by the beaded
lace. The strings are then of black satin
ribbon, edged on the lower side with lace
or with the new curled fringe, or else
they are made of doubled net similarly
trimmed; these strings fasten under the
chin. not on the side.

FOREVER f!

PROMISED
Il do solemnly.'
Forever continued the solemn, brok-
en- voice.
Forever echoed the weeping maiden
by the bedside.
The wasted hands were raised over
the heads OF the kneeling figures; the
pale lips of the dying woman parted
the tongue tried to utter blessing; but
all brightness faded from the eyes. The
woman was dead.
Two young girls knelt at the bedside.
Constance Owen was the name of one,
with sallow skin and large brown eyes,
and Edith Ormond, she was called, with
ringlets of gold floating around her fair
neck, and whose head was leaning upon
the shoulders of Constance, who had
promised the dying woman to be a sister,
protector mother even--to the fair
maiden at her side.
The strong, faithful, homely girl
called Constance was an adopted daugh-
ter of the dead lady-one OF those waits
of the street, whose only hope of life is
in the charity of some tender. hearted
stranger. She, however, repaid her
protector by a love and regard as filial
as that of her own daughter, and when
upon her deathbed Mrs. Ormond babe
Constance Owen make her the solemn
promise recorded, the brave girl not
only did not falter, but whispered once
more to the stricken girl at her side:
Yes, Edith, for the sake of the love
your dear mother gave to the orphan
will l love you better than myself-for.
ever
And darkness was in that chamber,
desolation in the hearts of the mourn
ers.
Two years passed-two years since
Edith the beautiful and Constance the
brave had lost their best earthly friend.
The former had grown more lovely even
than the promise of the dawn of her
radiant maidenhood; the latter more
homely, larger-featured, in face, but
with the two years an added dignity OF
mein, a more intelligent light in the
quiet, tender brown eyes, and force OF
character better defined in every move
ment. There came many suitors 10 Bon
nybrook-so the little country. seat be-
longing to Edith was called-but, so far,
the little coquette did not pay much
heed to any of them. She was chasing
the butterflies OF Fancy around that
Garden OF Eien-Arst youth. But at
length her beauty, grace and perhaps
high social position, brought one day to
the gates of Bonnybrook one Doctor
Paulding, a superior and rising young
physician, who lived in the city close by,

Nights 70. Days,

In the novel The Grandissimes, now
running in Scribner'8, occurs this re-
hective and truthful passage: Do we
not fail to accord to our nights their
true value We are ever giving to our
days the credit and blame Of all we do
and mis-do, forgetting those silent,
glimmering hours when plans-and
sometimes plots-sre laid; when resolu'
tions are formed or changed; when
Heaven, and sometimes Heavens enc
mics, are invoked; when anger and evil
thoughts are recalled, and sometimes
hate made to inhame and tester; when
problems are solved, riddles guessed,
and things made apparent in the dark
which day refused to reveal. Oar nights
are the keys to our dayr. They explain
them. They are also the days cor
rectors. Nights leisure untangles the
mistakes Of days haste. We should not
attempt to comprise our pasts in the
phrase, sin those days. we should
rather say 'in those days and nights.
