sc With us the whir of the mill and
the roar of trade are too great for the
elegant leisure of older lands, and poetic
temperaments have no immunity from
toll. Circumstances as we'll as nature
make the poet, and our country is too
busy for the two to conjoin but rarely"

Sitting antithesis among the
Indians appears to be Iron Bull, OF the
Crow tribe. When the latter heard
recently that gold had been found at
Clark's Fork, on the Crow Reservation,
he sent word to the towns that no Crow
objected to mining, and that the pale
faces might dig as much as they pleased.
Iron Bulls theory is that, though the
whites may be temporarily checked,
nothing on earth can stop them from
controlling the whole continent in a
little while.-Chicago Tribune.
Recently a number of medical stu
dents at Manchester, England, expressed
their disapproval of play by disorderly
and riotous conduct. The Examiner the
next day called their attention to can
American method of satirizing a per-
Torrance, which need not include vio-
lence or grossly ungentlemanly beha-
vlor. The students who ridiculed Oscar
Wilde by wearing the same costume,
down to the very knee-breeches, buckles
and flowers, in which he disported him
self on the platform, were men of taste
and good feeling, who may be sup
posed to have contributed to rather than
marred the amusement of the other
members of the audience
Mrs. Miriam Florence Leslie, the
widow of the well-known publisher,
has, upon application to the courts of
New York, had her name changed to
Frank Leslie--the name her husband
bore. 1t was not a mere whim with her,
but business idea, as she wishes to
perpetuate the name of the Frank Leslie
Publishing House, of which she is now
the proprietor and manager. Every
morning she is found in her Office by
half-past eight O'Clock, and remains till
five in the afternoon. She signs all
checks and money-orders, makes all
contracts for supplies of every sort,
looks over the proofs of all articles be-
fore they are published, ard makes spg-
gestions concerning the makeup of
every periodical before it is sent to
press. In word, she is the head of
the whole establishment. In Mrs. Les
lies employ are over four hundred
people, comprising artists, engravers,
editors, compositors, ETC., and thirteen
different periodicals are issued. Y.

When Jenny Lind was a young
girl, so the story goes, she was given a
trial hearing before the manager of the
Grand Opera and his favorite prima
donna in Paris. When her song was
ended the naughty prima donna, per-
haps actuated by jealous fear, whis-
pered a word to the manager, who
then in few polite phrases told the
s'young singer that her voice was I'M
fitted to the requirements of the great
establishment. She heard him in silence,
and then quietly said: 81 bid you,
adieu, Monsieur. One day you will i'm
plore me to return, but [ never will re-
turn. l shall never sing again in Paris.''
She was true to her word, when, few
years later, her popularity and reputa-
ton were so great. that Partisan man.
ayers begged her to sing for them on
any terms she might choose to name
