a Curious Lore story.

There sbides in the mind Of woman an
overwhelming sense Of the Importance of
an ample trousseau. Witness the case of
young woman IN DOrtmund, Germany, a
short time since, who was arrested for
stealing gold watch and chain from her
atlisnced lover. who, ON discovering his
loss, had placed the matter in the hands Of
the police, without the iaintest notion a.
to who was the thief. The maiden, with
many tears, confessed that she had taken
the watch, so that by pawning ii she might
raise money enough to buy her wedding
dress, which she could get in no other way.
Thereupon the de-poiled but magnani-
nous bridegroom spoke out in court, de-
olared that "the prisoner WIS his only love,
and that he would marry her out Of hand
IL the Judge would consent to set her at
liberty" Without delay the tribunal
snnulled the arraignment, and the generous
lover carried Oh his liberated larcenist in
triumph.

a brave woman, disguised beyond rccog-
milton, followed her husband for a week IN
order to recover her child. Finally she
discovered that the little one had been left
in convent at Atchison. She drove at
once to the retreat. Not knowing who she
was, or what she came for, the sisters open
ed the door at her bidding, and allowed
heF 10 enter the house. She stated that
she wanted to see a little girl. She was
very restless and uneasy, refusing seat
and walking the floor continually until the
child appeared. Disguised as the woman
was, the child knew her at once and ran
into her outstre,ched arms crying, ooh,
my mamma The woman Rugged the
child to her bresst with one arm, and with
the other tried to open the door. Failing
in this, she called to the driver outside to
kick the door in. A scene Of excitement
ensued, and for some time there was a
desperate struggle between the sisters and
the determined woman, the sisters endeav-
oring TO retain their charge, and the
woman struggling TO rescue it. The driver
without finally succeeded in forcing the
door open, and the woman with the child
in her arms was free. She placed the child
in the carriage, entered herself, drew a
pistol and, pointing it at the terrified SIS
ters, said "Come and take my child" and

CHARLOTTE CuMMANs ADvICE.-Chsr-
lotte eastman discouraged women as far
as she could from adopting the stage as a
profession. She was accustomed to say
that for the candidate who has beauty
there is moral ruin as a reward, and when
her personal attractions are poor then her
course is one long, dishearten ing struggle
ending generally in failure. She attrbu-
ted her success to her wonderful physical
health. Her mind was masculine, and her
physique was one rarely given to women.
One day when a friend was admring her
jewels, which were valuable and beautiful,
though not numerous, she said; al had no
beauty to bring these gifts to me from
oihers-l bought them myself" The grim
humor, not merely Of tone but Of express
sion, perceptible as she spoke while hold
ing the Jewels up to the light, can be under
stood by the few who knew her well.

There is story that the popular hymn,
"rhe "sweet by and By" was the work
Of two men while drunk. Joseph l.. Web
sier, who composed the music, died sever
al years ago. DR.. $. =. Bennett, author Of
the verses, lives at Richmond, III. lie says
that the charge Of intoxication is untrue,
though Webster was free drinker. The
two wrote hymn book in 1874, and "rhe
Sweet By and By" Was one Of the pieces
jointly produced for il. The suggestion
came from a chance remark by Webster,
who was hsbitually dependent, that all
would be well "by aud by" Bennett at
once made the rhymes, and Webster
brought the music out Of fiddle, which
Was his customary aid in composition. The
hymn book had its day and is forgotten
but this one tune is put into every new
publication Of the Kind, snd has u sale of
about 10000 copies year in sheet form.
Dr. Bennett says that he and Webster we're
not orthodox Christians when the hymn
was written, aud that he Is now even less a
believer

TO THE RUSSIAN THRONE
Letter from John Baker, the sevolu.ioni,..

In the vicinity of Mini, Novgorod, pre-
tender, has arisen, who claims that he Is
Nicholas Alexandrovich, older brother to the
present Czar, Alexander ILL.,; that he was
imprisoned because he believed in giving
more freedom TO the people; that the world
was made to believe that he died in Nice In
1865, and that lately he made his escape.
His claim has absolutely no foundation, but
the revolutionists, who play their cards well,
may and do expect to bring over mass Of
the peasantry. The government has not been
able as yet to arrest the pretender, and he
has now large following, considering the
short time he has been heard from. And IT
he escapes arrest until next September, when
the. 20 weeks are up which the revolutionists
gxvcs Alexander Ill. 10 grant constitution,
there will be terrible civil war. The Thirty
officers, military and naval, including the
colonel of trusted regiment of the guards,
lately arrested, are charged with aiding and
promulgating the claims of the pretender.
History is again repeating itself in Russia,
and the days of a second Dimitri are at hand
but the result may be different. The next
thing will be the claims of Princess Dolgo-
rouky, widow of the late Gar. There is
movement on foot to bring to light either the
trIe or forged document, claiming that AL
exander III. made over the succession to her.
which he had right to do according to the
precedents and the laws Of Russia-for the
law of Russia Is the will of the Gar.
