ton with Lady Ashburton."
YOUNG SALvINI will return to Italy soon to be
examined for the military service, all young
men in that country being compelled to serve
three years in the army. He will probably be
excused on account Of the weakness OF his eyes,
but 1t is not probably that he will return to the
United States.

made professor at Prague, is a man thirty years
old who has already made over 5000 pOst-mor

by his friend CHAR.
GENTLEMAN accompanying General Diaz on

eral Diaz's trip is merely bridal tour. He has

THE Philadelphia Progress is informed that
Maurice Bernhardt is a charming lad, rather
rand. n fran II iph faoa md
of his mothers music in his voice." Sara, be-
sides her other talents, sings well, but only for
her intimates. Her voice is not full or power
full; 1t is low and tuned to sweetness" Sara is
getting plump, buxom and matronly. Writes a

ceived, and her dress was too low"

beautiful name, Lucifer Satan.
Hon. W. s. HOLMAN has a most delightful
home, comfortable, vet, like the man, modest
and unassuming. The residence is on a high
hill, 500 feet above the Ohio river, and so close
that one can almost throw a stone into it. Tue
view from his house is one of the finest in the
country. The river is visible for miles up and
down, the towns of Aurora, Lawrenceburg,
Petersburg, Elizabethtown and Cleves are all in
full view, and even Harrison, nearly twenty
miles away, can be seen a clear day, and one
can look over no inconsiderable portions of three
states-Indiana, Ohio and Kentucky.

the largest private house in Washington, and
owns 1t. This is a great comfort to Mr.. Blaine,
who has money ana Is a spreading sort of a man
who occasionally likes to see his big house full
of big people. But it does that neither
saints nor sinners, nor the high and mighty,
nor the poor and lowly in this world, are per-
mitted to enjoy unauthorized comfort. When
the fortune is made, when the ship sails into
port, when the house is built and we are all
ready to reap the fruition of our labors or our
hopes, there comes some unforeseen and unex-

ers. We are sorry for him.
SOME horrid man said recently: "WOmen are
so frivolous, so fond of dress, parade and show
that they would make of government an ever
lasting spectacular drama" possibly" re-
torts Mrs. Livermore, "but cannot remember
to have seen women walking deli2htedly for a
few hours in a torchlight procession, through
muddy streets, amid the laundering of cannon,
the flash of rockets and the blaze of colored
lights 1 think have never seen them parad-
ing by daylight clad in bits of abbreviated
aprons, Ornamented as to the shoulders in what
seemed to be exaggerated horse collar, their
heads supporting an infinite amount of fuss and
feathers, and their padded coats over their
swelling bosoms nearly bursting with delight
as they caught admiring glances from the other
sex from the balconies and at chamber win
