Their mamma baked her, bread that
morning. and then she baked pies and
made cookies and got her dinner over
before she had time 10 think much about
the children. Then she stepped to the

along, and called them, but there was

The wind blew in her face and the
white kitten rubbed against her feet.

FOREIGN GOSSIP,

! On the occasion of the celebration Of
the tenth anniversary Of the capture Of
Rome, all political offenders were par.
doned by the King Of Italy.
The postal savings banks in Italy take
in twice as much money as they pay out,
the institution being considered safe and
convenient by the people.
The Lord Mayor of London has been
entertaining At dinner at his official
headquarters, the Mansion House, the
entire staff Of workpeople-more than
three hundred in number-of the firm OF
printers, Of which he is at the head. Ol
the guests nearly q third were young
women in the firms service.
THE Crown Prince of Austria during
the late military maneuvers in Prussia
repeatedly expressed to several high Off
GERS his admiration of the German
army. It was, he said, the first in the
world. He added, however, that in the
Austrian army ceaseless care and labor
had brought about such q change as
might well permit it to take a place at
the side of the German host.
The statue of Theirs, with the in.
scription "First President of the Re.
public,' has been unveiled close to the
spot in the small Place Theirs, in Paris,
in which he breathed his last. He holds
the map Of France in his hands, with
the word "Belfort" standing out in
large gilt letters, indicating the fortress
which he successfully expended his ev-
cry effort to wrest from the victorious
German.
NJ. RUMlANKEFF, the editor of the
Russian Illustrated journal, Lootch (the
MY), who died recently, had a strange
career. For many years he was
. barge-boy on the Volgs, and,
joining q Caspian caravan bound
for Persia one summer, he
was captured by the nomads and lived
for many years prisoner among them.
Being ransomed at length, he returned
to Russia with a knowledge Of several
Oriental languages, and, after educat-
ing himself, became very successful
journalist.
LORD HARRINGTON, the Ministerial
leader of the House Of Commons, is heir
to one Of the greatest and wealthiest
peerages in England, and a statesman
almost by Inheritance. But he has other
interests than those of politics. He is
fond Of sport, fond of travel, and has
generally a large capacity for enjoy
ment. Yet he is q very hard-working
Minister, and has developed unexpected
power as debater and as q practical
administrator Of his department-the
affairs of India.
THE enormous charges of the British
pension list are attracting more than
usual attention in the House Of Conn.,
mons. It is stated that in less than a
century the descendants Of Lord St. Vim
cent and Lord Rodney have received
100000 each. For nearly two hum
dred years the heirs Of the Duke Of
Schomberg have drawn a nice income
from that grateful country. The Dukes
of Marlborough enjoy a perpetual pen
sion of $4,000 a year. The Duke Of
Wellington was given $3,5O0,00O by
Parliament to support the dignity of his
dukedom, and a pension of $4,000 a
year for two generations. These are
among some Of the larger grants. The
smaller ones are numberless, and many
of them tho rewards of mere favoritism.

The Romance Of Flynn's Career.

FLYNN carried a rifle for the Union
and when the war ended he still carried
it, and to such purpose that his bodg
was scanned with scars. His blood hat
wet the soil Of six States and splinteret
bones, had been left on as many more
He had come to this country when Their,
was nothing for a poor man to do bu
fight, and Flynn had the pluck of the
ould sod in his soul, and when thai
is to be done the sons OF Erin never do il
bv halves. = "a rt 81" l...,
Broken in health, without money, fol
he had sent his pay home, without
friends and unable to work, Flynn went
to the 4" Home," at Hampton, where he
stayed for while, until he was patched
up. But that life did not suit him and
be obtained 4 leave of absence to come
to Washington. He had his pension, IS
. month; he was young and ambitious,
besides there was . little girl over the
sea waiting for him-waiting as true and
loyal for him as though he were an En-
peror. He made himself useful at a no.
tel where he attracted the attention Of a
man of influence, who obtained for him
q messengers position in one Of the De.
partments. .,.. ... .-..
He took some of that money and went
to night schools. Obliging and atten-
tive he made friends, and after time
was designated for q clerkship, and,
thanks to his application and persever-
ance in studying, he passed the examin-
alton and received the appointment to
ra.frst-olass~ alsxaship, .,sitA &salary Of
81 200 per annum. Last summer |

haunts, and had come to the conclusion
that just as good fortune had found him

the violet eyes Of the pretty bride as she

''for he's coming back for me. The
whole parish came to the wedding and

their future is bright with the promise
Of happiness when the autumn and win

but she had treated him hitherto i'll an i,n-
personal way, as something tributary to her
brothers memory, like the tombstone or the
flowers on his grave. The suspicion that he
| was seeking her for own sake had not, so
far as Putnam could discover, ever entered
her thoughts.
But in the course OF their next few inter-
views there came change in her behavior.
The simplicity and uncONsctOuSneSs OF her
sorrow had become complicated with some
other feeling. He caught her looking at him
narrowly once or twice, and when he looked
hard at her there was visible in her manner
soft agitation something which in girl
OF more sanguine complexion might have
been interpretedas blush. She sometimes
suffered herself TO be coaXel little way into
