Wanted to be Crushed.

An Oil City young man was reading
about recent doings in the Arctic re-
gions. and his best girl was sitting near
by, watching the wagging OF his mus
tache as the words rolled out. She was
evidently more deeply absorbed in the
mustache than in the story. He centin
ued:
"She arrived at the mouth Of the river
Lena about three months ago. The
Jeanette was crushed"

Another Illusion Dispelled.

A few years ago the editor of the
Bombay Herald made trip through
Asiatic Turkey and wrote a very
readable and instructive book about
what be heard and saw. In it he de-
scribed the Armenian women as the
perfection OF female beauty, grace,
loneliness, and virtue. He declared
that they combined everything that
was excellent in female person and
character to be found in ell parts of
the world, A rich money-lender re-
siding in Constantinople, Bekian by
name, resolved to marry one OF the
women who had been lauded SO
highly in the volume be had been
reading. He sought the society of
Armenian people and soon found 8
girl of the race that exactly suited his
fancy, She was beautiful as imsgi-
nation could picture. Her name was
not pretty-it was Margsretta Amas-
sin-but he did not care for that, ss
he resolved to change it ns soon as be

MIR. TILDEN'S HOUSE.

The new house that Mr.. Samuel
J. Tilden is building on the site o.
his former house at Is Grsmercy
park, has until now been hidden By
an enclosed scaffolding which Gov

few persons ktoW that it will be one
of the finest and costliest private
houses In the city. estimates of the
cost ranging from 100000 to $780,
OOO. Some years ago Mr.. Tilden
bought the house at Is Gramercy
park, and having thus obtained q
plot OF ground sixty feet wide and
1OU feet deep, commissioned MessTs.
Vaux aud Ranford to build 9 new
house in which the library should
be the essential feature. 1t was de-
clded to preserve parts of tAe old
house intact. so far as beams and
walls were concerned, but the
house at No. II was completely
torn down. The fronts OF both
houses were removed, and rebuilt
In a fashion which does great credit
to the architects. Two bay pro.
jections, each runnins from the
ground to the third story, one semi
octsgon&l in form, and the other
square, are the prominent features OF
the front. The material used con-
sists OF Carlisle (5ootland) reddish
sandstone, BelleVille brown stone,
and narrow bands of Maine gram
lite, with running vine brought
into relief by polishing. the effect
of the black leaves upon the blush
gray OF the natural granite being
exceedingly good. The whole front
OF the house is one mass of elabor.
ate carving wherever the Carlisle
stone is used, no cutting having
been done in the brown stone, that
material not being regarded by the
architects as of sufficient durability.
Forty men were employed upon
the outside carving for several
months Life sized headU, carved
by Mr.. J. K. Kitson. OF Miltop,
Goethe, Shakespeare and
Michael Angelo, occupy panels in
prominent positions. Mr., Tilden's
collection of portraits is the finest
in the country, and from it the
designs for the present head were
obtained. Altogether the eject OF
the house from the street is warm |
and rich, mixture of Gothic and
Renaissance prevailing in the de-
sign.
One-hali of the fret floor, the
west half. is given up to M. Til.
uen's library, which occupies three |
large rooms, and has 8 separate
entrance on the street. The front |
part OF the other half is devoted to |
hall and reception rooms, with a
vast dining-room thirty-tWo feet
square in the rear, lighted by two
bay windows. The dining-room is

description. 1t will probably be
