Among the interesting notes appended by
Prof. Wilkinson TO his poem on Daniel
Webster, announced for speedy publication
in New York, by Charles Scribner's Sons,
occurs the following "Reminiscences OF the
great ststesman's early manhood: 81 recol-
Ieet an incident which shows his unscrupu-
lous integrity. Mr.. Thompson was post

Annie Surratt.

OF Annie Surratt a correspondent of the
Cincinnati Commercial says: "Annie Surratt,
the poor girl who suffered so terribly as TO
m axe her old while yet young in years, lives
near her brother John. She is the wife of
Prof. Tonry, who is now the leading chemist
of Baltimore. After her mother had been
hanged, and her own mental faculties were
shattered by the agonies she had undergone.
the innocent girl was ostracised 2pS perse-
cuted 10 an extent that is a disgrace to our
so-called Christian civilization. Years after,
when Mr.. Tonry-then government clerk
dared to marry her, he was dismissed from
office for the offense. For a time thew were
very poor, but being turned out of the gov
eminent grind proved to be the M aking of
him after all. They are now prosperous
enough ina worldly point of view, but the
once blithe and beautiful Annie is a wreck,
both mentally and physically, with hair as
white as the driven snow, though but little
more than thirty years Of age. She never
recovered from the shock of that aWfnl day,
the last of her mothers life, and is subject to
fits OF extreme nervousness, bordering upon
delirium"

ThePonu,a,,ou q, the sIobc.

The total population of the globe is now
reported at 1 ,433, sOO,O 900. According to
last report it was 1,455, 100000. This diff
erence would indicate a decrease of o.
10000, but as matter of fact there has,
according to these authorities, been an in
crease of more tn an 33,O00,OOO This is ex-
planned by the fact that the population of
China has been very much over-estim ated
heretofore. In the last issue OF this work il
was given at 434 100000; it is now put at
379,000,000. In fact, in those countries alone
in which consuses have been taken the Off
cial returns show an aggregate increase of
100000 during the preceding interval OF
ten years. The number of people inhabitat-
ing the larger divisions of the globe, as given
by Benin and Wagner, are as follows: En-
rope, 327, 900; Asia, 759, 59l 900; Africa,
205, SIS, 900; America, 1O0, Ale, 600; Australia

Diseoverer of Brazil.

A national subscription is about 10 be
opened in Portugal and Brazil for the pur-
pose of erecting a monument 10 the memory
Of Pedro Alvarez Cabrai, the discoverer OF
Brazil. Sailing from Lisbon in March, 1900,
with fleet of thirteen vessels bound for In
dia, Cabral Unexpectedly sighted and took
possession of Santa Cruz at the close of April
of the same year. During the Emperor of
Brazil's sojourn in Portugal few years since,
his imperial majesty visited the Portuguese
historian Alexander HercClano, at his farm
in Santarem. On this occasion his majesty
expressed desire TO see the resting place of
Cabral, whom tradition reported to having
been inferred in the church of the Graca, in
that city. A doubt having circulated as
TO the real resting place of the illustrious
navigator, his majesty abandoned his in
tended visi. to the church in question. This
doubt has now been cleared up,s for a
commission appointed by government lately
visited the church of the Graca and discov-
cred the skeletons, in a complete state OF
preservation, of Cabral, his wife and another
membero the family. The epitaph on the
tomb, in Gothic characters, and written in
ancient Portuguese, is as follows: "Here
lie Pedro Alvarez Cabral and Denns Isabel
de Castro, his wife, who was chief lady in
waiting TO the Infanta Donna Maria, daugh-
ter of King Dom John, and third of the
name" 1t is likewise intended TO erect a
monument 10 the late Duke of Saldanha, in
the Campo des Martyrs, or Field of the
Martyrs"

Mr.. John G. Whittier, writing as to the
bi-centennial celebration of the founding OF
Philadelphis, says he would be sorry TO see
anything like the nonsense and absurdity OF
an Italian carnival or Anew Orleans festival
of unreason in the celebration of the found
ing of Christian commonwealth, or mill
tary parade, when the foundations of the
commonwealth were laid upon the precepis
of the Prince of Peace" Mr.. Whittier may
find some few to agree with him, but the
majority of people, will be inclined to think
that little nonsense and absurdity on such
an occasion would not offend 30 much as
would an illustration of the "Christisn
craftsmanship" that prevails in the common
wealth to-day. Tableaux representing Don
Cameron ruling the State, or picturing the
populations of Morton, Pnipps and the Gas
Trust Company, might be truer 10 nature,
but scenes from mythology or history would
be more artistic and probably please the
public better.

God be thanked for books. They are the
voices of the distant and the dead, and make
us heirs of the spiritual life of past ages.
Books are the true Jewelers.. They give to
all, who will faithfully use them, the society,
the spiritual presence of the best and great
est of our race. No matter how poor / am,
no matter though the prosperous of our own
time will not enter my obscure dwelling, if
the sacred writers will enter and take up
their abode under my roof; if Milton will
cross my threshold to sing of paradise; and
Shakespeare, to open TO me the world of i'm
agination and the workings of the human
heart; and Franklin, to enrich me with his
practical wisdom; / shall not pine for want
of intellectual companionship, and / may
become a cultivated man, though excluded
from what is called the best society in the

Breakfast In Mexico.

A tourist in Mexico says that in the house
of a wealthy native everybody is sstir be-
fore sunrise. A servant comes 10 your room
to ask if you will have coffee or chocolate
there, or will go TO the dining-room for it..
You must not be offended if the host is off to
his business without seeing you, for at 10
o'clock he will return and greet you ceremo-
niously enough. The breakfast, which is
the chief meal of the day, is then served in
courses. Fruit is eaten first, soup often fol-
lows, then meat, after that eggs, and finally
frijoles, the national dish. This last is a
dark red bean, cooked with lard. seasoned
with red pepper and served in a soup-plate
and eaten with spoon. 1t is very palata-
bic, and foreigners generally become as fond
of it az the natives. Wine Is always on the
table, and everybody concludes by smoking
a cigarette, the ladies not excepted. Coffee
and chocolate are served again in the after
noon, and at IL O'Clock pun. there is a light
supper, consisting principally OF tomale>
which is corn-meal mush mixed with TO. ,ce.
meat of chicken or beef, highly. seasoned
with red pepper and onions, all nicel.y rolled
in a clean corn shuck, tied and pu. in Dot
and boiled until done, and served in The

Apartment Houses An New York.

The Mail and Express says that unless all
signs fail New York will have in five years
the hand,omest apartment houses in the
world, not excepting Paris. Every week
new designs are deposited with the depart
ment of buildings. For instance, in pro-
iected Madison avenue fiat there is TO be
garden on top of the structure. Another
plan proposes to have Russian or Turkish
bath for the use of the inmates. The Ma
varro houses, in course Of erection on Fifty
ninth street, are to be nine stories high, of
granite and brown stone, in the Moorish
style of architecture. They will cost up
ward of $3,000,000. Although they will not
be ready for sixteen months, thirty-nine
suites are already engaged. The most mag
nifcent scheme, however, is that of Mr.. w.
III. Post, whose houses will be located near
Central Park. The Astors are said TO be in
terested, and it is proposed 10 supply the
occupants with provisions and coal at whole
sale rates

The history of the petroleum business in
this country is OF a most romantic character.
Since the first well was opened in 1859, says
contemporary, $500, 100000 worth has
been added by mere oil to the wealth OF the
Union. Gigantic fortunes have been anassad
and gigantic fortunes have been lost. Cities
have sprung up with miles of streets and
lines OF palaces in six months, to be deserted
before the year was out. Oilwell sinking is
like a forest fire. 1t lights up whole region
with splendor, and leaves ashes and desola-
tion behind it. There are tracts of silent
woodland in which the spectators of Ne@
York and Philadelphia and Titusville see
golden rivers flowing and the tumult of busy
towns. The whole of the welldeined oil
locality is, while yet copses and corpields,
carved out by a horde of engineers and job
bers for its succulent prey, as the butcher
surveys a flock of sheep IN the prospective
shape of legs and loins OF mutton.

Parepa Getting into Bed.

as "Zerlina" in Fra Diarolo, that plunged the
Denver Tribune into libel suit, involvin z
100000, caused Eugene Wetherell TO
breathe forth threatenings and slaughter
against the Araphoe county grand jury, and
set the country to talking. And yet it is a
verv modest scene, and Abbott is less sug-
gestive than almost any singer we can recall

The Cholera Coming.

A prediction is made by Mr.. J. B. jenkins,
F. r. A. S., that next year there will be a
great attack of cholera throughout tine
world. He bases his opinion upon the peri
odicity of the disease, which reaches its max
imum vIrulence every sixteenth or seven
teenth year. He says that cholera was rife
throughout the world in 1877, 1888, 1850 and
1866, and therefore it will again reach its
highest fatality in 1888 He further shows
that, as the FIRST appearance of cholera in
England took place in October, 1881, and
that it has returned in epidemic form with
uufailing accuracy every seventeenth year
since then, there is reason to expect it next
month, especially as it is known TO be raging
in India.

Ahso..,. baby !. PROSE aua verse.

Thy skin is OF n scarlet hue,
Thou hast a shadow of a nose,
Thine eyes are milk and water blue.
Tenitiny dimples are thy toes.
Why wrinklest thou thy fuzzy face?
Why squirmest thou as If in pain?
Has some sharp pin got out of place
That thou dost whOop thy wild refrain?
Thou smellest like a pan of clabber,
And squallest like an hungry calf;
And yet they understand thy jabber-
Thy mother and her meaner half.
Aud yet, perhaps, the time Will be
When thou shalt fill a lofty place
tenor soaring up to c.
But just at present you are bass.
1t may be an ungallanI and cruel thing TO
say, but Abbott's baby is very homely and
article. 1t hasn't 4 hair on
its head, its eyes are fiImy blue, there ia a
sort of red fuzz all over its face, there is a
big, three cornered soft spot in its skull over
its forehead, and ii has a very ill-manuered
way of splitting up half-disested milk aud
lis face up like t0othless old
man. And yet Abbott really thinks this
baId-headed, scarlet eomplexioned, sour
smelling, toothless and witless combination
of lungs, appetite aud Immature is positively
beautiful, and she calls it precious" aud
''dovey" and "lambkin" and "birdie," and
other endesring names calculated to sicken
the bravest and strongest stomach in seven
States. The baby is good deal ike his IA
Their in the single respect that he takes to
his bottle mighty kindly, aud when the lac
teal contents of the bottle are exhausted he
sucks wind with aviditv of chameleon or
a fish out of water. When she IS off the
stage Abbott can't talk about anything but
the baby, and she makes all her visitors kris
it-oughl She says she is going to educate
him for the ministry-Whicb, by the way, is
what every pious young mother says of her
first -born.-DehUer Tribune.
