Madame Ko, the widow of the late Har-
ward professor, has no longings for her ma
tive land. She prefers to remain in Boston,
aud will probably do so.
Queen Victoria is not without womanly
superstitions She is said TO be averse to hav-
ing her son Leopold marry in May because
that was the month in which the poor young
Princess Charlotte was welded to King Leo

The spot whereon President Garfield fell
in the railway station at Washington is mark

desecrate the spot.
A boys composition on girls: "Girls are
the only folks that have their way every time.
Girls is of several thousand kinds, and some
times one girl can be like several thousand
girls if she wants anything. This is all
know about girls, and father says the less I
know about them the better of 1 am."
A colored ianitor of Philadelphia, named
Joseph W. II. Cathcart, has a curious library,
which may eventually prove useful to histo-
rians. For twenty-five years he has assidu-
ously collected in scrap books whatever espe-
cially struck his fancy in the newspaper press,
until now he has one hundred large volumes,
which he regards with affectonate pride.
Three of these are devoted to "China and Js-
pan" incidents in the Life of jefferson
Davis" fill two volumes "The Freedmen's
Bureau" and Slavery" claim each five vol
umes. One of the most interesting colleo-
tions is "Poetry of the Rebellion" which
contains about a thousand war-Songs.
A pleasant story is told of the King of
Italy who is said to be as fond of shooting
as was his royal father. One day while wan
dering about, accompanied only by a couple
of dogs, he met peasant, who, mistaking
him for one of the Kings gamekeepers, COM
planned that afox was in the habit of rob
bing his hen roost The king expressed his
| sympathy, and promised TO come the next
day and try to put a stop to Reynards dep
relations. He was as good as his word, and
had the good luck to kill the fox, which so
| delighted the peasant that he invited the
'gamekeeper' to stay to breakfast, and on his
departure gave him a couple Of francs. The
peasant learned two days later who had been
| his guest, when an officer drove TO the cot
tage, laden with presents for his wife and
children.
The annihilation of time and space by
| electricity was illustrated by "a recent incident
on the coast of India. Two English ships
were repairing a telegraph cable near Bonn
| bay. They were about half a mile apart, one
of them having hold OF the shore end OF the
cable and in communication with Bombay !
the other having the sea end and en- rapport
with Alden. Communication between thetwO
vessels was necessary in order to complete
their work, and this was accomplished by one
of them telegraphing TO Bombay and thence
around 10 Alden, and the other from Alden
around to Bombay. Thus, as speedy means
of sending messages half a mile they were
forwarded by a route three or four thousand
] miles long.

what you said, and as second thoughts wis
est, have come to the conclusion that it would
be a comfort to have a hand to help me down
the valley of the shadder. Yours truly,
WIDOW TYRoN.
"Durn the valley of the shadder" eSclaim-
ed Captain Tiller, throwing aside the note and
betaking himself anew to his oysters.
The tempting bivalves were hardly dispos-
ed of when hard knock at the door heralded
a hard voice, which inquired:
"Cap'n Tiller to hum p
"Yes'm," promptly responded the small
maiden.
"Then give him this" said the hard voice
A bit Of paper, tightly folded, was thrust into
the girls hand, and hasty steps we're heard
retreating.
The paper contained these mysterious words
in pencil:
IF Captain Tiller will step around at Miss
G. Hobson's-and hopes he will excuse Blink
er-which she knows and believes his inten-
tions was not to be rude to her, and mistake
on @. II. 5 part, will be pleased to see him.
CHI"
"Durned if go !" muttered Captain Tiller,
lighting his pipe.
"why, what's it all about?' inquired his
bride, glancing somewhat suspiciously at the
two notes.
"Humph" !" said Mrs. Seth Tller, and sat
thinking, rather moodly.
"You see" suggested her spouse deprecat.
| ingly, II hadn't an idea you'd hev me-"
Mrs. Tiler was a sensible woman, and she
accepted the explanation without more ado.
PLEASE sir, said the small maid, with very
big eyes, "here's boy come and brought an
other letter"
Lets see it," said Mrs. Seth, exercising
her matrimonial privilege And she read Out
the following, written on pink tinted paper
and enclosed in an embossed envelope:
Dear Captain TIiler-Been expecting you
round to day. Hope no offence, as you know
when a woman's took by surprise she's oblig
ed to say what she don't always mean. I'm
to home this evening from seven to ten.
Truly yours, MELISSA FULLER.
"well, said the captain, running his fin
gers through his hair, 'if this don't beat all
| Rum critters, them women! !"
"And bold enough, some of 'em," joined il
Mrs. Tiller. ITO be making proposals to 6
married man :"
why, you see, they don't know yet that
am married"
Then best let them know it at once. Sup
pose you accept all their invitations righ
away, and take me along by way of explana
tion, you know"
The captain chuckled with an inward ap
probation of his brides cleverness and wit
He took her advice, and the pair made a rounC
of bridal calls, much to their own satisfaction
if not to that of the recipients thereof.
Mrs. Tyron sighed Widow Fuller laughed
somewhat hystericaly, it must be confessed
and Miss Hobson talked of a suit for breacl
of promise. Not one of the three ever for

Walt Whitman has never had biographer
in the real sense of the term, although the
story of his life would hardly fail to be an in
teresting one. Even the bare facts of his ca
reer are known to few. He wes born on May
81, 1919, in the village of West Hills, on
Long Island His parents lived at that time
in a rude log house, and this early home of
the poet is still standing. Whitman's father
was born of English people, and his mother
was Dutch. Both parents were prosperous
and industrious, though poor. They moved
to Brooklyn when the poet was still mere
child, and here the latter beOame a pupil in
the public schools, At the age of l6 young
Whitman was engaged TO teach obstreperous
young ounces in rural school, and it was
not until his eighteenth year that he began
to try his hand at authorship. Before he was
20 he was writing regularly for newspapers
in New York. He also contributed articles to
the Democratic Review. His next step for
wark-or backward, as one may be pleased
to regard twas into politics, and he was
soon heard of as a stump orator in the ranks
of the Democratic party and among the bitter
ant-slavery circle. He took an active part in
two Presidential campaigns, those of Van
Buren and Polk. His career for some time
was checkered, and his attention seemed to

They rode, or they stood at bay;
