General SCott's Daumbter.

Apropos of society, the death of Mrs
Goold Hoyt, the handeomest of the
four lovely daughters of General Scott, -
as she Is described by one who writes
about her, is Il loss that it will remem-
Der for awhile anyway 1t was so sud-
den that all who knew her were shocked
by It's announcement. Mrs. Hoyt was
not exactly a leader in the social world,
but she was we'll known and had many
friends. In her youth she was one of
the most beautiful women in America.
and when Goold Hoyt secured her as his
wife he was accounted u very lucky
man. She was a blonde of the very
purest type, with features of typical
Grecian regularity and the air of love-
ly queen. Each of the hero's daughters
was an acknowledged beauty, but the
largest share of loveliness belonged to
Mrs. Hoyt. In her more mature wears
She had a certain dignity and even aus
terity of manner that repelled anything
like familiarity, but those who were adj
mitted to intimacy found her woman
of noble character and generous impul-

A Beautiful Thought.

Ashes. after being thrown out, may
be covered over with snow, so that they
are completely hidden from view, and
tho spot looks as pure and beautiful as
if they were not there; but in the Spring,
when the crystal covering is gone. the
ashes appear again, and are not pleas
ant to look upon. 'Tis the same way
with mans character He may cover
it for a time, carefully keeping all his
sins from view, under the shield of fine
clothing, money and good family con-
ncctiOns, but when he comes in contact
with the world everything is seen in its
true light ut the proper time. There is
nothing particularly new or beautiful
about this idea, but the thought sug-
gested itself yesterday morning when
the head Of the f;imily instructed us to
empty some OF the ashes aforesaid. 1t
was mighty cold morning, and we
didn't feel like walking in the snow, so
tosave time--which is money--we dump
cd the cinders i'll the snow only a few
feet from the door. We supposed they
were well covered, but it was subse
quently developed that they were not,
and it was while shoyeling them up that
the beautiful thought came to us.-OI

Millions Wasted Upon a Barren Roc}

A San Francisco letter i'll the Balti-
more Sun says: Half a million month
continues to be spent in barren rock in
vain search for bonanzas in the numer-
Gus mines on the Comstock silver. vein,
in Nevada, below an average depth of
2,200 feet below the surface of Mount
Davidson. The 100000 daily gallons
Of water is very hot everywhere below
1,600 feet, and, with single exception,
no large body of paying ore has been
found below that level. At this time
combined efforts are pushing explora-
tions with fourfold activity, and streals
of quartz are met in the dark porphyry,
giving hopes. But the stock market is
set back by the new theory of expert
James Delevan, viz: mo bonanzas will
be found where the water has so high
temperature, and all boring is money
thrown away" Scientific reasons are
given. Two of the mines have reached
5000 feet in confirmation of this theory,
and the bottom has dropped out of the
mining stock market.

In a Trance.

A young lady of Evansville, Ind, has
had an unpleasantly narrow escape from
being buried alive. On Saturday she at
tendeda singing-school, and, after her re-
turn home, was seized with commissions,
from which she sank gradually into Il
cOmatOse condition, in which she lay four
days. Her friends, thinking her dead,
cut off her hair and prepared her for
burial. Her neck and limbs were stiff,
her lips were purple. and her eyes were
fixed and staring. Her body, however,
was not cold, and n physician prescribed
the application of hot lyc to the body
accompanied by vigorous rubbing. This
treatment was commenced on WcdneS-
day night and continued without inter
mission until Thursday morning about
10 O'clock, when her cheeks became
flushed and she began to breathe and
show other signs Of life. The young la
dy says that she was conscious during
the whole time her friends thought she
was dead, heard and understood every
thing that was said, and Witnessed the
preparations for the burial She de-
scribes her feelings as terrible i'll the ex-

"a reader desires to be informed

Well, you see, the shirt of Ncssus was

to blow his nose on. When he desired

If Congress resolve to act upon the
suggestion made by Senator Miller that
the Congressional Record be issued as n
weekly and sent to every family in the
country, some modification ought to be
made of the contents of the Record. The
paper is much too heavy and dismal in
its present condition to be welcomed in
the ordinary American household. Per-
haps it might have a puzzle department,
and if SO one of the first puzzles could
take the shape of an inquiry how it hap
pens that so many Congressman get
rich on five thousand dollars year.
The department of Answers to Cores
pondents could be enriched with refer
ences to letters from oiiice-seekes's, and
the department of Household Economy
could contain explanations of how the
members frank their shirts home through
the post-oflice so as to get them in the
family wash. AS for the general con-
tents, describing the business proceedings
of the Senate and House, we-recommend
that these should be put into the form
of verse. We should treat them, say,
something in this fashion:

MIR Bayard
Talked himself tired,
But said nothing worthy of mention.
This would be succinct, musical and
in a degree Impressive. The youngest
readers could grasp the meaning of it
and it could easily be committed to
memory. Or Il scene in the House might
be depicted in such terms as these:
A very able speech was made by Cox Of Mime
sofa ?
Respecting the necessity Of protecting the
black voter.
Twas Indignantly responded to by Smith OF
Whose abominahe talk was silenced by the
Speakers hummer.
Then Atkinson OF Kansas rose to make an ex-
But was pulled down by n colleague in state
OF Indignation.
And Mr. Alexander. in a speech about insur-
ance
Taxed the patience of his hearers pretty nearly
past endurance.
After which Judge Whitaker denounced the
Treaty with Hawaii as scandalous monstros-
ity
1t would be advisable of course to
vary the meter as much as possible in
order to prevent the monotony which
would otherwise dull the interest of the
reader.
After giving the proceedings in the
House as above, something of a more
spirited nature perhaps could be inserted
into the Senate reports. Suppose, for
example, the pages devoted to the Sen
ate should lead off with something of
this kind:
Then up rose Smith of Florida, the best of the
debators,
And spoke about his measure for protecting
allfgators:
He showed how tourists shoot at them without
regard for reason.
And asked to have it made crime to kill them
out of season.
Then Brown he moved amendment by insert
ing brief clause
Compelling alligators not to operate their jaws
But Smith he upand said of him who thought
the subject comical,
That Nature, when she gave him sense, had
been too economical
And Brown, responding briefly, wished to say
in this connection
That Smith in guarding reptiles had eye to
sef-protcction.
Then Smith he flung volume of the Message
and Reports,
And Brown was laid upon the floor good deal
out of sorts.
