SUSAN b. ANTHONY saws there are 1000
women practicing medicine in England,
and that, so far as she has been able to
learn, they kill as large a proportion OF
their patients, and receive as eXhorbitant
fees for so doing, as male practitioners.
\ GREATER number of grass widows
does not live anywhere in the same num-
Der of miles than can be found in the coun-
ties of Labette and Montgomery, KS. Out
OF twenty houses ten of them are inhab-
tied by that peculiar kind of widows
whose husbands Tor sometimes the wife
had cit out" and gone away to the East,
West, or the Indian Territory.
Mrs. TABOR is described by a Denver
woman az a ''fabby blonde, about the me-
dunn hight, whose form may have been
voluptuous once, but is now only fat /;
heavy eyes which are half brazen half APP
pealing; a general air of weight and NAL
apropoism, and a hopeless suggestion of
trying to fit into unaccustomed respecta-
bility, with little chance of success"
Miss LoRDEN'S hustle was worth its
weight i'll gold, as the customhouse author
tiles in New York found out. But that is
no evidence that she wished. to evade the
duties or smuggle goods into this country.
We are informed that the old rag and
newspaper style of hustle went out of
fashion long ago in Chicago. New York
may wear cheap bustles, but in Chicago a
lady prides herself on having this article
the most expensive part of her wardrobe.
Miss Lorden's hustle contained many
yards of the costliest lace, but that is the
way they make them now in Chicago.
Mrs. BoHANAN, of Fort Bend county,
visited her son in the p~enitentiary, so says
aGalveston dispatch, and agreed with some
of the convicts hat she would ship a box OF
pistols and ammunition to Still Bros, in
whose shop the convicts worked. The
box was painted black at both ends and il
was recognized by the ~convicts and its con.
tents secured. They soon rushed for the
prison entrance and covered the guard,
but he refused to open, and the guards be-
gan firing upon the convicts, who surren-
dered. John Wesley Hardin had been
offered N of the pistols, but refused to
join them.
A GENTLEMAN writes to the London
Times: "An American lady told a friend
of mine in the House of Commons the
other day that n of her chief purposes
in visiting London, on her way TO Italy,
was that of placing Il costly wreath upon
the grave OF George Eliot On going to
the cemetery, however, she could find no
one to tell her in what grave the great au-
thoress was laid. Wa it not natural that
she should remark, as she did, with true
American sarcasm, a prophet is, indeed,
not without honor, save in his own
country p"
IN LoYsoN, formerly widely known as
"Pere Hyacinthe, is about to visit this
country, and accordingly a reporter has
already obtained an interview with Mime
Loyson and discussed with her such sub
jects as might be supposed to interes
Americans. 1t appears that Nine. Loyson
while warmly advocating the marriage o
the clergy and maintaining that no prizes
can properly hear a confession unless h,
has a wife, insists that the wives of priest,
should never wear low-necked dresses
On this point she is i~nfiexible, and wher
she and NJ. Loyson hold the next Ecu
menical Council of their private Gallicar
Church, she will doubtless insist upol
making ii an article of faith.
LONDON Truth: "'Muse Palovna,' in tn,
novel PuRine and BdburiRe, was taken iron
real life, and personally known to the au
thor ~(Turgeneff) when he was at the Uni
versity. She was a serf who had beer
brought up in companionship with III
heiress, IN on becoming the property o
the latter was harshly treated. Her mis-
treSs complained that she had in her read
ings been bitten with the French idea
that were current in Paris at the time o
the revolution. She did SO before a stu
dent-cousin, who was secretly a republi
can. He aud two OF his comrades agreed
to adopt the serf, who was pretty, inter
esting, quite a lady in her manners, and O
good principles. She lived with the three
hidden in their common lodging. Turge
neff subscribed TO the fund which wa
raised 10 keep her going, and when an op
portunity occurred he sent her to Ger
many as a lady's maid or governess. II,
fell desperately in love with her, but di,
not dare tell her so. She, he afterwarC
found out, was in love with him but sh'
thought she would ~ill-recompense hi
kindness in letting him know OF her pas
sion. Abroad, she married a rich German
merchant, and died when she had beer
his wife a year. 1t was he who told thu
novelist of the eX-serf's romantic attach
ment. She was called by Tprgeneff anC
his student friends 'Snowdrop,' albeit sh,
had brunette complexion and an impetu
Gus disposition"
