COlunlbus's Love Story.

According to the ideas of his time Col
umbus was a religious man. He dill
gently frequented a conventual church
of the city, but though his first attend
ances there may have been prompted
by disinterested devotion, there were
other reasons for the increased assiduity
with which he continued them. There
was. connected with the convent, girls
school for the daughters of well-to-do
citizens, and the pupils were in the habit
of regularly hearing mass in the church.
One of them-would that we could recall
her features, long moldered into dust
attracted the admiration and love of the
weary mariner. There must have been
a considerable disproportion in their
ages, for he was no longer young, but he
was convinced he had met his fate, and
the inquiries he made confirmed his
ardor. She was the daughter of dis
tinguished sailor, Bartolomeo Pales-
trello, who had been Governor of Porte
Santo. Her father had died without
leaving behind him any fortune;
but her mother still survived,
and must have possessed means
of her own. Columbus was accepted as
suitor, and. what to young men in these
times must seem very extraordinary
course of PROCEDURE, after his marriage
he and his wife took up their abode
with his mother-in-Iaw. We would give
good deal to know more of that love
story; how it was for instance, that the
castaway adventure, reduced to earn
his living by drawing charts, managed
SO to ingratiate himself with the mother,

A story of New York Life.

A we'll known gentleman and wife,
while still living together in the eyes of
the world, were entirely independent of
each other. The gentleman had been
very attentive for long time to well
known young actress, to whom he was
in the habit Of frequently sending fow-
ers with card bearing simply his Chris
tian name of Charles. One day stopping
at florists to whom his residence wa
we'll known, but from whom it chanoed
he never had ordered any thing to be
sent to the young actress, he ordered
handsome platee of flowers, and writ
sent to "her." supposing the florist
knew whom he meant. That particular
florist, however, did not know, and he
sent the floral tribute to the wife at
home. Now the wife was SO much
affected by this unexpected floral offer
ing that she was moved to send for her
husband to come and take her driving,
and made herself SO agreeable to him
that the old love rekindled and q recon
ciliation followed which has not since
been disturbed.

whose husbands position might have
enabled her to look higher for her
daughter. He must surely have been
not only a devoted lover but man of a
good deal of tact. with great power Of
adapting himself to circumstances. At
any rate, the union proved a happy one.
We fancy that the suitor must have won
,he mothers heart by the interest he
showed in her, deceased husbands
achievements; for after the marriage
much OF the household conversation
turned on this subject, and Columbus
neard what fired his soul with emulation.
Palestrello had been man Of much en-
terprise, and he had left behind him
papers and m bps, which proved to be of
more service to his son-in-law than any
wealthy inheritance.

How to Live Cheaply.

FROM 4alRS Dy Lne UOctOr.
Upon calculation by me made with
some care, have found that the thou
sands of hard-working people of the
city, who live very poorly on their small
earnings could, for still less money,
live very we'll. And I will tell you just
what wo uld do if were placed in the
position of one of these people as the
head of q family. would stint myself
q little for week as to meat and pota-
toes, and on the next Saturday night,
when l got my pay, would take home
halt q bushel Of beans, costing about ST.
%. With the help of the beans I could
easily economize on potatoes and meat
for another week, and then / would
take home half bushel of peas, cost
ing about $l.75. Having done this,
would already be on the road to true
economy, and they do say economy is
wealth. At the end of the third week
should expect to be able to take home q
half hushel Of rice and two dozen cans oi
tomatoes. The next present that !
would make my family might be q
quantity of oatmeal Efficiently to break
last them every morning for month or
SO, costing from $l.5O to 81. After this
the road would be easy. l would always
have in my house provisions enough to
carry me through months sickness il
such misfortune should overtake me;
and now. being so well supplied, l could
afford to indulge occasionally in luxur-
les. could buy barrel Of potatoes OF
q quarter of beef at time. At the same
time should expect to find my family
healthier and Weather at the end Of
the first month than they had ever been
before. Of course I would not make
any large purchases at the little corner
grocery where had been in the habit
Of buy 'ng. but at some large house where
they sell at wholesale and retail. By
purchasing in1arge instead of small
quantities l would save about twenty
five per cent, but in selecting the most
nutritious foods, instead Of throwing
away all nv substane on beefsteak and
potatoes, should save at .sast twenty
per cent. more."

Why a Juvenile Play In Boston
Was InterruDted.

Some of the nice children on Common
wealth avenue, says the Boston Globe,
recently proposed to surprise their par
ents with a dramatic performance with
the distinct understanding that no adult
was to witnesses a rehearsal or to ask about
the nature of the play written by a
young miss of ten years, who was to as
sumo the role of heroine, assisted by q
lad of the same age. On the night ofthe
performance the parents Of the children
assembled in the front drawing room of
the large residences and waiting for the
drawing aside of the portieres with COM
mendable patience. The first scene rep
resented the wedding of the hero and
heroine and the departure ofthe former
for the wilds Of the west, where he was
to reap his fortune in raising cattle and
mining. This went off finely, and the
portiers were closed with loud burst
of applause. A lapse Of 10 years
was supposed to have passed be-
tween the first and second acts,
and when the act COM
menced the young husband had
returned and his wife not looking day
older, greeted her spouse in formal
manner and even asked him to remain
and dine with her, which he consented
to do. While seated at the table eating
ice cream, the husband told how he had
toiled for wealth and acquired millions,
all for the sake of the dear wife he had
left behind. This had such an effect on
the matron that she finished the ice.
cream, sighed to think there was no
no more:..on the table, and then ad.
dressed her husband. speaking earpast
ly and firmly: ''You have done well,"
she said, "but while you have been a.
work I have not been idle. You shall
see what have accomplished" She
touched a bell, and white-capped
bonne entered the room leading a tod
ding infant year old and followed by
nine others Of various ages, one for each
year Of married life. The actors to this
day do not understand why the play was
interrupted by shouts of laughter and
applause from the fathers and mothers
who were present. At any rate they
say the play was success, but the par
ents think it little Frenchyin construc-
ton and plot.

sUNMERING MILLIONAIREs

SUMNIERING MILLIONAIIsEs.
Homes at Newport of Some. of the
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Living-A
Gentleman Who Pays $4,000 q
Week for His Eight Weeks vaca-
|, tioH.
A correspondent of the Boston Jour
nal tells of the luxury and wealth at
Newport, where millionaires spend the
summer months:
tits roughly estimated that at least one
halfofthe real estate in Newport is;owned
by summer residents, who pay taxes on
property varying in assessed value FROM
10000 to $4O2, ,OO9, upon which latter sum
Mrs. William Gammel pays, while Mr..
George Peabody Wetmore contributes to
the general support of the town with
taxes on $201 ,000.of land. The Cottages
which these millionaire residents occupy
are in reality mansions and fit for q
Prince. The most striking are those of
Mr.. Jacob Astor, who is occupying
"Beaulieu," once owned by Bareda, the
Peruvian Minister, and for which Mr..
Astor paid over 100000; Mr.. George
Peabody Wetmore. whose chateau-sur-
mer," built ofgranite, has cost him a
fabulous sum, the magnifcently carved
staircase imported from Italy having
cost no less than 800, 900; Mr. Robert Goe-
let, whose beautiful house, commanding
magnificent sea view, is erected on
lot for which he paid the widow of Colt,
of revolver fame, a level $100, 600; Mr..
Pierre Lorillard, who is taxed sor $751;
600, whose latest real estate purchase
here was the famous Lawrence Staigg
lot, which was in the court for
nineteen years, and which in
that that, tim time III. increased !, in. in value
the Boston artist bought it; Mrs. Gard
valued at $l33, 900. This is most
charming place. and is very appropriate-
ly named 'Fnisterre," being at the end
of Bellevue avenue, and also of the is
land of Rhode Island. Here it was that
in 1877 Mrs. Brewer, assisted by her
very popular and charming daughter,
gave delightful fete for the benefit of
the Old South church. Mrs. and Miss
Brewer are enthusiastic collectors of
rare plants, and spare no expense to se-
cure the very latest additions known to
the world of horticulture or Horticulture.
Then there is Thomas F. Cushing Of
Boston, whose charming house behind
the rustic fence IS the scene of many q
brilliant entertainment during the sum-
mer. Miss Catherine L. Wolfe Of New
York is fairly astonishing the natives by
the palatial dimensions and gederal
magnificence OF the brown.stone villa
she ia having erected on Ochre Point
and the finishing touches OF which will
soon be put on. The land itself cost
$lS2, 900, the house being built upon the
site of the William Beach Lawrence
homestead, which Miss Wolfe would
not sell to have moved off because it
one comparatively insignificant tree.
Miss Wolfe is now in Europe purchas-
ing furniture, carpets, rugs, bric-a-brac.
etc, for the house. It is believed that
when the building is entirely completed
and furnished very big hole will have
oeen knocked IN half million dollars.
Thousands upon thousands of dollars
are being expended upon the grounds.

A Tramp Across q Continent.

An adventurous walk across the entire

son of the principal of the Geelong
College. He started from the gulf of
