wEDDED TO HER ART.
The KumOrs AbOnt Mary Ander-
sons Marriage.

A representative Of the Cincinnati
Commercial on Saturd ~ called on
Miss Mary Anderson, and ventured to
direct her attention to a late para
graph in IN Eastern paper-sure to be
extensively copied-that she, unlike
Cushman, did not intend to remain
long welded to her art, and her art
alone;" in short, that she was soon to
be married. The Commercial man
adds:
THE bright and beautiful Ken
lucky girl-ior the representative
American tragedieune Of the epoch is
nothing more or less off the stage
laughed, as she replied to the scribe's
cautious query, that it was her mis-.
fortune that she could not look at a
gentleman friend without a report Of
the kind being published. She said
that while she was anything but a man
hater, as sometimes had been in
timated, she had so far followed the
advice Of Boucicault, who had once
said to her: My child, be married to
your profession. 1t will buy you all
the new bonnets and gowns you want,
will never be jealous of the public
admiration, and will never stay out
late at the club" Miss Anderson at
the time of the conversation had just
come in from a performance Of "The
Daughter of Roland" in the third act
of which she had not been thrilled in
Cincinnati for years.
How quickly she must have dressed
for the street and driven to the Burnet
House, where she occupied the Jenny
Lind and Sontag rooms, may be judged
from the fact that the reporter who
met her as her carriage drove to the
door Of the hotel had also Just seen
people from the dismissed audience
entering the St. Nicholas restaurant
only a block away. 1t is said that she
often Is at home before the last of the
audience are much more than fairly
in the street. And as quickly as she
is there "the shop is dropped" so
much as it can be, with either actors
or journalists, whose profession
is necessarily part of every
waking hour. last night she
was briefly receiving and bidding
adieu to calling friends, preparatory
to an early start for Pittsburgh this
morning, and nothing more homelike
and hearty than the scene is often
witnessed. Il hate to say goodbye,
and yet | am always saying goodbye, -
she said. Miss Anderson, whose rare
beauty and willowy grace Of form are
even more striking in the parlor than
on the stage, is looking exceedingly
well this her seventh regular season.
In Difference TO her hint that Inter
Jews" in the ordinary sense Of that
term were not pleasant to her, csp9-
cially as she rarely had anything to
say Of special interest to the public
one is not here ATTEMPTED"

want to 50 too. In sickness, in
trouble, In affection, yea in the last
agonies they arc with US and comfort
us, while the busy world wags on.
God bless the preachers of this land
the preachers Of every creed that
teaches love to our Creator and love
and kindness to another. Eeverthe-
less, | sometimes feel sorry for the
preachers children, for the good
man is so afraid be will do wrong
he leans tho other way. 1t did
me good the other day when | saw one
OF en- take his children to sec the cir
Gus procession. 1t was so kind and
considerate. If they can't let the lit
tie chaps see the circus, do lot EN- go
to the procession BY and-by, may
be, they will get old enough to be
trusted within the canvass and see the
pretty horses in the ring, and the men
ride round, hear the clown crack his
Jokes, and laugh at him because he is
such a fool. l don't admire these
folks who are always a.laughing
whether a thing is funny or not, aud
| never did like to see a pretty girl
glggllng at everything that happen
cd but still it is better to laugh than
be crying. The world is not draped
in mourning. The birds sing and the
butterflies float around in the happy
sunlight. At night the cricket CHR
rups on the hearth and the katydid
sings his evening song sweet flowers
arc blooming everywhere, and Solo
mon in all his glory was not arrayed
like II of these. All nature is hap.
by except a few snakes and hyenas,
aud | don't want to be like them.

INC Senator's within Card.

Washington Cor. Boston Journal
The mystic letters written on cards
arc a source of bewilderment to the
Congressman from rural districts, who
cannot deeipher their meaning. Once
that stalwart Kentuckian, Senator
McUreery, met a foppish young con-
stituent, who had just returned from
Paris, and said to him: Il received
your card the other day, Recognized
your fathers name which is the same
as yours, and supposed that it was his
son; but what did the letters Il. p,
written in the corner mean ?" why,
Mr.. Senator" replied the travelled
man, lit is customary in Paris to write
the initials of certain words on leaving
cards. For example, had | been going
away, | should have written P. ?. G.,
the initials Of Pour prende conge-to
take leave. AS it was calling myself,
| wrote E. p, the initials of En- Per-
sonne-in person. "0hT" said Nc
Creery, 81 understand" A week or
so afterwards the two met again and
the young man said: Senator, l re-
ceived your card. but | couldn't com
prehend what the letters S. B. A. N.
in the corner meant. Pray interpret
them? ?" with pleasure" said Nc
Creery, his eyes twinklingw with humor,
8, B. A. NJ are the initials of Sent
BY a Niger" The young mar tried
to laugh, but really couldn't see the
point of the inscription Others did.

BIOOdhOunds in the Russian
Army.

Boston Pogt.I
The Russians have strengthened
their army by the novel addition to
each company Of a pack Of powerful
and carefully trained dogs. These
watehful animals are sent out with the
sentinels on picket duty, where their
sharp ears and still keener scent will
prove an impregnable barrier to tie
lurking spies of the enemy. The dogs
used are a species Of bloodhound from
the Ural mountains. The dog is Sc
lected because Of its habitual silence.
IL groWls, but never banks, a matter of
the first importance to soldiers near
an enemy 5 camp. The Ural hound
is gifted with an exceedingly fine sense
Of smell, keen ears, and is ever alert.
Most comforting Of all 10 the lonely
picket, the dog is said to be especially
courageous in defending his master.
IL is curious that, with the example
Of the King Charles spaniels before
us, no one thought before of Using
these intelligent animals as sentinels.
The value Of the plan is self.
The Muscoyites have gone further,
and are training swift hounds, as
we'll as these same Ural dogs, TO &C. as
dispatch bearers, much as the carrier
pigeons were employed ia 1871. They
certainly would be hard messengers to
catch, when sent stealing through the
woods at night.

President Arthur has changed the

All stationery used in correspondence

the envelopes and the letter paper up

will sec through the heavy and snowy
material used the Imprint of a large
crown, and under it these large let
ters: Royal Irish Linen; Marcus

missed by some OF the Bohemians Of
New York, to the Irish descent Of
the President and the traditional
crowns of Irish kings. The stationery
now in use at the White House is
more snowy and expensive than any
ever employed for thatpurpose before.
Are these to be taken as

Nashville Banner, 1871
The career of Mr.. Jere Baxter.
who was yesterday elected Vice-P Pres
dent of the Memphis & Charleston
railroad, has been singularly remark
able. A few months ago he invested,
for the first time in his life, in rail-
road stocks, buying Memphis &
Charleston at a low figure. The in
vestment proved profitable, for soon
a ter his purchase the stock advanced
rapidly, and has not declined since.
With that keenness of perception
which characterizes all the great rail.
road magnates of this progressive
country, Mr.. Baxter foresaw the bril-
liant future Of the Memphis &
Charleston Railroad, and with that
persistent energy, forwhich heis known
throughout the State, he never stop
ped to look back at possible defeats,
but pushed boldly forward, lending all
his influence and power to an enter
prise which he knew could not fail,
and which to-day stands in the fore
most ranks Of the great arteries
Of commerce, which add so greatly
to the wealth of his native State.
Mr.. Baxter is perhaps the youngest
railroad Vice. President and Director
in the United States, and it is but just
to say hat his present prominence
before the country is due alone to his
own energy and perseverance. Natu.
modest aud retiring in his dispo-
with almost a boyish face, Mr.
Baxter s position will cause the world
TO wonder at its success; but those
among whom he has been reared, who
know his wonderful executive abilities
and shrewd business qualifications,
will not marvel at his sudden promi-
nenee among the leading railroad
kings Of the country.
Mr.. Baxters elevation to the re.
sponsibie position TO which he was
yesterday, is not moro compli.
mentary 70 himself than it is crafty
TO his numerous friends in Nash
vile. The Office could not have fallen
On ADLER shoulders. and tho.e who
doubted Memphis x Charleston be-.
lore will now doubt no more.
