Profitable POliteness.

The Boston Traveller, In COM
menting on the prevalence ofrude-
ness, tells the following incident
which happened some years ago
There was a very plainly dressed
elderly lady who was q frequent
customer at the then leading dry
goods store in Boston. No one in
the store knew her even by name.
All the clerks but one avoided her
and gave their attention to those
who were better dressed and more
pretentious. The exception was a
young man who had a conscien-
tious regard for duty and system.
He never left another customer to
wait on a lady, hut when at liber-
ty he waited on her with as much
attention as if she had been a
princess. This continued a year
or two until the young man be-
came of age. One morning the
lady approached the young man,
when the following conversation
took place: 9 ~ laaa -'-a
Lady-"Young man, do you
wish to go into business for your
self?' #1a,l n9 aa afN
Eyes ma'am," he replied, "but
/ have neither money, credit nor
friends, nor will any one trust
me-" #'
"Well," continued the lady,
"you go and select a situation ask
what the rent is, and report to
me-" handing the young man her
address. The young man went,
found capital location, a good
store, but the landlord required Sc
curity which he could not give.
Mindful of the lady's request, he
forthwith went to her and report
ed. f bds h fg9 sHt Elk,
"Well," she replied, "you go
anu tell Mr.--that L will be
responsible" 2 5Hi1usM
He went, and the landlord or
agent was surprised, but the bar
gain was closed. The next day
the lady called to ascertain the re-
suit. The young man told her,
but added, "what am to do for
goods? No one will trust me.'
"You may go and see MI,
and Mr.. and Mr.. and
tell them to call on me-" M
He did. and his store was soon
stocked with the best goods in the
market. There are many in this
city who remember the circum-
stance and the man. He died
many years ago. and left a fortune
of 1888, 900. So much fer polite
ness, SO much for civility, and so
much for treating ones elders
with the Difference due to age, in
whatever garb they are clothed.

Whose Picture?

Mile Alice Regnault one of the pref
test actresses of Paris, is not happy.
Her portrait, en- omdzOne, by Boldini,
Salon. The picture, it appears, was
painted by PERMISSION of the lady, who
sat several times to the artist, at his re-
quest, on the understanding that she
should have the portrait when COM
pleted if she liked it. When it was
about to be sent to the Salon she in
vited the opinion ofseveral friends, who
were SO pleased with it that she asked
the artist to put Il price on 1t. The gal
liant painter vowed that the honor she
had done him in sitting for her portrait
was more then ample compensation for
his labor. and offered her the canvas,
She was, however, somewhat surprised
a few days ago at receiving letter from
the artist, who regretted that he could
not deliver the painting, rs 1t had been
seen and purchased by a rich amateur.
The lady insisted, however, on having
the portrait, and told the artist to fix his
own price, whereon he CALAMITY and
modestly estimated its value at FL 900,
Mile. Alice Regnault refuses to pay this
sum, and asked the law to decide wheth-
er the artist has any right to sell her
likeness, and perhaps the explanation
she can give will induce the judges to
decide in her favor. An analogous case
occurred last year, when Il platonic adj
mirer of Mr.. Mr.. Gambetta ordered a
sculptor to make his bust and her own.
The conditions of the order stipulated
that the two statutas should be admitted
to the Salon, and both of them found
favor in the eyes of the jury, although
the humble homage paid to the young
dictator" was so displeasing to Mr. Gam
beta, who looked like some Jack-in-the
box of Hebrew persuasion, that he pro-
cured its removal through the influence
of his friend and colleague, Mr.. Tur-
quot. Nine Salvani brought a lawsuit
against the minister of fine arts. who,
she argued, had no right to have her
statutes removed after they had been
admitted to the Salon by the jury. She
lost the day, and the court laid down as
a general rule that it is not permitted to
execute and exhibit the bust Of any
public man or parsonage without having
first obtained their consent and appro-
val.

BRIGAM'S DAUGHTER.
Her Estimate of Her Own Father--A
Religion Which Breaks WOmen's
Hearts and Ruins them.

Several weeks ago five of the daugh-
tiers of Brigham Young, late head of the
Mormon church, were expelled from
the church for the crime of having
gone to law with certain Oh the brethren
who attempted to rob them, Afterward
the elders, wishing to make peace with
the expelled htigants, sent a couple of
teachers to interview them. They re-
paired to the residence of Miss Dora
Young. What occurred there is told
by the Salt Lake Tribune, as follows:
"We want to see, sister Dora, if you
will not come back to us"
II have received n note calling on
me to appear to answer a charge; what
would you do?"
oh" replied brother Morris, 81
should go by all means-by all means!'
But l won't do that replied the
heiress, mot for the world.
"Oh, come now, sister Dora, don't
say that. If you have done anything
wrong it will be forgiven"

Eyes, and l wish to gracious l had

What with the brethren?"
Eyes, with the brethren"
Don't say that, Sister Dora; we don't
want to hurt your feelings, but"
"And | don't want you to hurt my
feelings. If you do you'll go out of my
house a good deal livlier than you came
in. | have stood Just as much from the
Mormons as intend to hear, and if you
two offend me in any way you Will go
out of that door which carpenter put
there for Just such people"
ooh, we don't want to hurt"
"Well, then, don't ask me to return
to the church; you can't insult me
worse than by requesting that"
SISTER Dora, think Of your father and
mother, and"
Don't speak to me ofmy father, Mr..
Norris" she interrupted. You and the
whole church knows that my father,
prophet though you call him, broke
many woman's heart If it required
of me to break as many hearts and
rum as many women as my father did,
l should go to perdition before | would
go back into the church, and"
I'm, SlsIGf l'OTH. eNclal1leu lile
teachers.
'It's fact, and you know it's fact.
You know that many of his wives died
of broken hearts, and how did he leave
the rest? Look at my mother, and look
at all the rest of them! A religion
which breaks women's hearts and ruins
them is one of the devil. That's what
Mormonism does. Don't talk to me of
my father; but I'll tell you one thing.
if my mother were living at present
you wouldn't have stolen our money
from us either. You profess TO regard
my father as a prophet, and yet you
have John Taylor standing in my faith
ers shoes when you know be was the
worst enemy my father had on earth.
And around him are gathered those
brave apostles all swearing against faith
err while in his life they couldn't be ser
vile enough. They are brave now
The teachers were dumfounded at the
honest girls estimate of her father,
Brigham Young, and said nothing.

She can stand by a belehing cannon

ploding fire-crackers evidently reminds
her of the musketry she heard when
she was wounded, for it distresses her
greatly. She looks as if she still had
many wears before her.

during the jubilee taes there will be but
one party-the nation. There will be
interminable professions and caval-
cades, representing every constituted
body, national and municipal, in the
kingdom. A grand banquet will be
given, presided over by the King in
person, and attended by the representa-
tives of the Legislature and the leading
men of the country, whether connected
with the state, with the municipalities,
or with commerce, industry, literature,
or art.
But the great centre of the celebra-
ton will be the exposition in the Pal
ace on the Champs DIES Mannuvres. In
this structure, occupying independent
ly of various annexes for exhibitions Of
domestic animals and other objects,
nearly 10000 square metres, there will
be the most comprehensive show of
Belgian industry ever brought together
Every kind of object produced by man
ufacturing, mining and agricultural
industry within the temperate zone
will there be presented, with the sole
qualification that everything from be-
ginning to end will be of Belgian pro-
ductiOn.

How Murderer Kaiioch il Lodged and

How is he treated? He is friend. ally
and political confederate of Sheriff Des-
mond, and is treated rs such, and not as
a murderer. He is supplied in the ter
ribly overcrowded jail with a suit Of two
rooms all to himself, his friends are adj
mitted at all hours, women being among
the number; liquor and cigars supplied
ad libitum, and arousing big time is had
all the while. A deputy is detailed who
acts as if he were paid servant of the
murderer. And who think you reader

than a minister, whom Kalloch insisted
should be appointed. His name is Rev.

Gently told the court that it was useless
to send any more prisoners, as he hadn't
standing room! The rooms we have re-
ferred to are in the upper front part
of the building. 1t is the easiest portion
of the jail to escape from. We verify
believe that the prisoner intends to make
his escape while in the nominal custody
of Desmond. What wonder that he
should! With the testimony staring him
in the face, what other hope can he have?

suffer no loss, and he would assuredly
be esteemed all the greater hero by his
followers Of the sand lots He has had
no computations against aiding certain
of his friends to escape from legal Gus
tody. He has done that before now,
and that fact was the principal one put
forward to secure his election. He has
aided prisoners convicted of crime to
escape. He has boosted of the fact and
won his election in consequence of it.
Now that his political ally is in his keep
ing why should he not play his old game
and win applause and renown from the
sand lots? Kalloch has been placed just
where the thing can most easily be done.
We believe that when the hour for
Kalloch's trial arrives his body will not
be found in the custody of the sheriff of
this city and county Of San Francisco.
We are not without reasons for this
belief Meanwhile Kalloch is not being
kept in the right place or treated in the
right manner in the county jail, and
Sheriff Desmond knows that he is not,
and intends that he should not be.

The Bane of Beauty.
New York Home Journal.

There is a class for whom we can
scarcely feel too much compassion-the
Young women who have to make their
own way in the world, without friends
to protect them or fortune to maintain
them, and who have, perhaps, that fatal
gift of beauty, which more often than
not brings sorrow to the possessor. What
can they do? They can teach every
thing a little, but they cannot teach any
thing thoroughly; so that they are not
valuable for the extent or specially of
their knowledge; and what they can do
thousands can do just as well. and some
little better They cannot paint, they
cannot write, but they can do art needle
work, with which the world is getting
flooded and the market Overstocked;
they are too well born to make good
shop girls, and they have not genius
enough 10 make actresses or musicians.
They can copy scraggy manuscripts, but
the demand for fair copy is not large,
and the unlucky compositor has for the
most part to be the decipherer of actu-
al hieroglyphics. They can be secreta-
ries to old gentlemen and companions
to old ladies' but here again the field is
very limited, and the nicer and more
personahle they are-that Is, the filter
for the position desired-the less likely
to attain it, because relations and natu-
raj inheritors are afraid of charming
charming young woman as house-nate
with the holder of the purse-and talk
among themselves of undue influence
and the likelihood of legacies that
would diminish their own inheritance;
and cannot they themselves take 1t turn
and turn about to G with tho old peo-
pie, so that the pretty, pennlless mis-
lust introduced to them for the purpose
should not be wanted, and thus should
not be suffered to become a source of
danger? The same thing happens if
they apply for a situation as goyeTness.
They are too pretty The average mat
ron has a deadly fear Of good looks as
coincident with shaky morals, and puts
a vast amount of faith in a weazie face
and bad com plexion. A pretty gov
erness is a snare from which she shrinks
in honest dread and here the sweet
face that ought to have been her fortune
is again our pretty maids decided bane.

Charging a Sham Burial.

Edward Resented was a Young bust
ness man IN Newark. He was mem
Der of two Hebrew lodges in that city,
and in these he had his life insured to
the amount of $1,000 His father was
a well-to-do merchant at Orange. Rosen-
field engaged III several mercantile ven
lures III Newark, but his father quitting
business ut Orange the two went to
Reading, Pa, where they opened a
fancy goods store, securing from Butler,
Clapp & Co., and other houses of the
city, $4,000 worth of goods upon the
elder RoSenfeld's credit These goods,
it is said, were sold at auction in Phila-
delphia, and the two Rosenfeld's going
to Canada. subsequently settled with
their New York creditors for 60 cents ON
the dollar. Edward Resented continu-
ed his connection with the Newark
lodges, and continued also his life insur-
ance therein, being meantime settled in
Toronto.
On Monday Edward Resented was re-
ported to have died. On Wednesday
his wife arrived in Newark, bringing her
husbands body with her, and the funeral
and burial took place the same day. The
funeral was from the house, at No. 13S
Springfield avenue, of Mrs. Cecilia
Winter, the mother Of Mrs. Resented
Owing to fine advanced decomposition
of the body, the coffin was not opened
Members of both the lodges of which
Rosenfeld had been n member attended
the funeral and followed the body to the
place OF interment in the Jewish Gene
terry
Immediately after the the funeral
Mrs Resented returned to Toronto. 1t
began then to be rumorep that the body
which had been buried was not that of
Edward Rosepfeld.
Last night the two lodges in which he
was insured met and appointed commit
tees to investigate the matter. The body
will probably be exhumed Mrs. Winter

at Toronto instructing her to get affi-
davits from the minister and others who
were present at the time of her husbands
death, certifying to his inentity.
