Mrs. Kate Chase Sprague since her Idi-
vorce from the bankrupt senator, govern
Or, and millionaire of Rhode Island, is
abandoning the flash name of the palmy
days of her belle-ship in Washington,
'kate," and now quietly writes herself by
her plain baptismal name, Katherine
Chase. Expensive vicissitudes, the failure
of welded and social life have brought
more sober and common sense view of
life. She is now found living at
Edgewood, the late home of
her father, with her daughters.
Talmage, the toploftical, said il his last
Friday night talk: GA few days ago I saw
in a railway car the sickest looking man I
ever saw out of bed, his chin and mis- hands
afflicted with the worst palsy ever saw,
either in or outside hospital, exciting the
pity and sympathy of all who looked at
him. He is one of the candidates for the
presidency. This is the pathos and trag-
edy of political life, that a man will clutch
for its baubles though he stands with both
feet in his grave" Who was the candidate
in such pitiable plight? 1t could hardly
be Mr.. Tilden, for we ara told that he
has recently renewed his youth, and has
all the vigor and sprightliness of young
man.
Newfoundland has a great future before
her, in the opinion of an English traveller.
Contrary to the general opinion, the eli
mate is salubrious. Its fisheries yield ST.
100000 a year, and its mines produce 49,
600 tons of copper annually. Including
the inhabitants of the coast Of Labrador,
its present population is 10000, of which
$4,000 are engaged in the fisheries. In the
interior of the island are large tracts of
farming lands, to the extent of 100000
acres, which can be purchased by settlers
at thirty cents an acre. It's distance from
Valencia, in Ireland, is only 1,64O miles,
and he believes it will before many years
become thickly populated by settlers from
the British Isles.
The report for the past year of the So
ciety for the Preservation of the Irish
Land League, states that at the commence
ment of the present century probably not
more than 400 persons could read and
write Irish, whereas this society alone has
disposed of over $4,000 elementary Irish
books. The number of persons in Ireland
who speak the old language is nearly $780,
900, as against nearly $4,000 in 1871, al
though the population has, during that
period, diminished III round numbers
$4,000 persons. This, as pointed out, is
nearly equal to the number of Welsh PEG
pie speaking Welsh. Not only" it is OBJ
served, ''has Leinster increastd its number
of Irish speaking inhabitants, but Dublin
has made a considerable advance in this
respect, partly fulfilling the old Irish
prophecy"
"Tt Is only il New Jersey" says the wit
ty Detroit Free Press, 'that the papers
speak of widow woman. All other states
grant the sex without dispute" Yet New
Jersey has good precedents for that form
of speech. It follows the old eastern fash
ion. 1t was about three thousand years
ago that woman of Tekoah came to King
David saying to herself: II an indeed
widow woman and mine husband is dead"
Possibly in Detroit all widows are women
whose husbands are dead; but down east
there are girl widows, whose husbands are
not dead. The Bible tells US also of the
"widow woman" in Zarephath, who fed
Elijah in the days of famine. Bible Ian
guage seems more familiar to jewellers in
New Jersey than to those in Detroit. But
when Mr.. George Washington Moon has
his new Bible completed, that woman OF
Tekoah's statement will be cut down to Il
am widow"
* % Keep to your place and your place will
keep you But you cannot expect to keep
your place without health, the foundation of all

the employ of the C. NJ. Il st. Paul r. R. had
been grievously affected with diabetes for six
| years. He took four boxes of Kidney-Wort and
now writes that he is entirely cured and working
regularly.
