The Earl of CRAWFORD and BALCARREs
has engaged four Spiritualists, who are
now at Dunecht house, Scotland, endeav-
oring in clairvoyauce, to see the violation
of the tomb of his father.
CHARLES READE, the novelist, who has

All is vanity. VANDERBILT does not
like his four-million-dollar house after all,
and the least fastidious critics say his dec
orators have overloaded tho house with
decorations to the degree of vulgarity, and
have SO crowded every room with an alb
surd, gaudy, heterogeneous collection of
furniture and ornaments that the effect is
painful.
Referring to PATTI's sneering sugges-
tion that if the manager did not like her
terms-so much higher than the presi-
dents salary-he might get Mr.. ARTHUR
to sing for him, the editor OF the Washing.
ton Republic will wager that if Arthur
would sing in public he would draw better
at $40 seat than Patti at SIS. Besides,
cas- man, he has finer presence and a
better behavior than Patti has rs a
woman, and his daily life is blameless,
while, as We all know, Patti has some
grievous sins. Mr.. Arthar may not be
able to sing like Campaaini, Capoul, Nj
colini and a few Others but he is hand
somer than any tenor Patti ever saw and
is more popular in this country. He may
not be able TO sing very we'll, but it cannot
along the line"

She lived in very expensive manner, and
in order to provide extra means she spec
ulated on the Bourse, about the move
ments of which she was usually we'll in
formed. So confident was she in her
brokers that, although she had transac.
tions OF some magnitude pending, she
went on long journey. During her ab.
sence the crash came, and before she had
time to return she had lost large amount
of money, which has been paid, however,
to the uttermost farthing. AS she is now
impossible for her to keep a salon in the
old style.
A garrulous fellow, friend and school
mate Of GARFIELD, thus tells how he was
first nominated for Congress "We bal
loted over hundred times. 1t was get
ting after s,lndown, and there were sew
eral candidates that were about even, and
Garfield was one of them. Finally one OF
those who was among the leading ones, a
man named Ferguson, withdrew his name.
Just in front of me sat q delegate named
Merrill. l had been working right hard
for Garfield, and when Ferguson withdrew
| did what could to make the break
count for Garfield and 1 urged Merrill tc
cast his vote for him. Merrill had written
ballot for another candidate, and was
holding it in one hand. He didn't hardly
know which to vote. AS the teller came
around saw Merrill hesitate, and leaning
over took hold Of the hand which held
the vote for Garfield, and sort of in fur
shook it, and he let the ballot drop into
| the hat. When the vote was counted, it
was found that Garfield had just one ma
jority. 1t was on this nomination thai
Garfield was first elected to Congress, aui
afterward he used to laugh and tell mt
that shook him into Congress-
