Two ROYAL Wet Nurses,

The young infanta of Spain has two
wet nurses, who relieve each other in
their arduous duties. They are mag
nificent young women, who were Sc
lected by the cardinal primate of Spain,
or rather received his recommendation
for their exemplary conduct. They
are clad in ruby-colored velvet, en-
broidered with silver, and wear costly
white wells. The little infanta cried
several times during the christening
ceremony. She was christened Maria
Teresa Isabel Patr ocina Diega. She is
a pretty child, with fair hair and blue
eyes. After the ceremony the young
infanta's ears were pierced by her
mothers Austrian medical attendant.
This is ancient custom among the
Spanish Bourbons; even the princes in
Spain have their ears pierced, it being
considered beneficial for sight to have
blood drawn very early. That is, in
fact, their first baptism of blood

A War Incident.

Among the Chicago commercial
travellers who visit Chillicothe are two
gentlemen, now good friends, whose
first meeting was under circumstances
just the reverse of friendship. Mr.. p.
is Virginian, and Mr.. b. is New
Yorker by birth, and both were sol
diers during the late war, the former
captain in the famous Confederate
troopers commanded by the celebrated
General John S. Mosbv, and the latter
a private in New York regiment.
In one of the many skirmishes in the
vicinity of Warrenton, Va, Captain
p. was captured by BIS regi
ment, the commander of which,
in pursuance of Il previous order from
his superiors "to shoot Mosby's men
whenever caught" ordered the i'm
mediate execution of the unfortunate
captive. He was led out a short
distance from the command and a
detail of seven men. of whom B. was
one, was ordered to execute the drum
head sentence. AT the word Fire !"
the squad discharged their weapons
straight at the victim, and poor p. fell,
riddled with six minnie balls. He was
left for dead as food for the vultures,
and his eXecutioners mounted their
horses and followed their regiment
in pursuit of Mosby. The victim
was unconscious for twenty-four
hours. and when he awoke and
feebly called for help there was no
response. With six CHASTITY wounds
in his chest, and covered with blood, he
dragged himself a mile to negro's
cabin, where he was kindly received
and nursed for week, until Mosby's
forces had rallied and driven the FEEDER
ais from the vicinity. Then for the
first time his wounds were dressed by
a surgeon, an | in about six months he
rejoined his command and fought I'M
til the final surrender at Appomattox.
His health has ever since been delicate
but he is energetic and pushing, and is
very popular and successful sales
man, and has no warmer friend than
B., who was one of his executioners, OF
thought he was.-Chilltcothe (Ohio)

Miss Louisa AlcOtt, the well known
novelist, records in Boston paper
that her first story brought her IS and
her second $40, with request for more
of her productions. She then relates
some pleasant experiences and memo
ries:
One of the most memorable moments
of my life is that in which, as
trudged to school on wintry day, my
eyes fell upon a large yellow poster
with these delicious words: Bertha"

val Prima Donnas," will appear in the
Saturday Ecening Gazette. 1t was
late; it was bitter cold; people jostled
me; Twas mortally afraid l should be
recognized but there l stood feasting
my eyes on the fascinating
poster, and saying proudly 70
myself, in the words of the great
"Vincent Crummies." This, this is
fame!' That day my pupils had an
indulgent teacher; for, while they
struggled with their pot-hooks, 1 was
writing immortal works, and when
they droned out the multiplication
table l was counting up the noble for
tune my pen was to earn for me in the
dim, delightful future. That after
noon my sisters made pilgrimage to
behold this famous placard, and finding
it torn by the wind, boldly stole it, and
came home to wave it like a triumphal
banner in the bosom of the exciteA
family. The tattered paper stin ID .

those early days, so hard and yet so
sweet, when the first small victories
were won, and the enthusiasm of youth
lent romance to life's drudgery.

Plans of a Sugar King.
american

1t is whispered, says the Washing
ton Republican, that Mr.. Spreckles,
the San Francisco sugar monopolst, is
quietly engineering scheme for the
cession of the Hawaiian islands to the
United States, should Congress deter
mine to abrogate the reciprocity treaty,
which it will probably do in the near
future. Mr.. Spreckles is in receipt of
a governmental gift of three or four
millions of dollars yearly through the
operation of this treaty, and if it should
continue the gratuity, will increase
from year to year. The abrogation of
the treaty will impose heavy tax on
him, which will amount, in the course
of few years, to $10,000,00O or $751;
OOO,OOO annually. He can well afford
to pension King Kalakaua and all his
uncles, cousins, aunts and other rela-
tives of remote degree in more magnif-
cence than they ever dreamed of to
get them out of the way and save such
an amount of money.
American influence already domin-
ates in the little insular kingdom, and
as the monarch is not in receipt of a
colossal income it would not take more
than cord of gold to charm him from
his throne. The total revenues of the
kingdom only amount to 100000 a
year, and as the government is pat.
termed after the older nations, Kala-
kaua is obliged to do business on
shamefully narrow margin for real
king. TO put it briefly and plainly,
he is in straitened circumstances for
the head of royal family, and as his
native subjects are dying off with lep-
rosy, he will soon have nobody but for
eigners to rule. Mr.. Spreckles and his
associates already own the best of the
sugar lands, and they are slowly but
surely absorbing what is left. They
really own about all that is valuable in
the kingdom, and they feel that they
ought to have the right to annex their
property to any country they want to.
The annexation of the Hawaiian
islands would, of course, at once settle
the vexed question which is now ere
ating such stir.
Mr.. Spreckles' dominions consist of
eight islands, having a combined area
of about 4, 100000 acres, and a popula-
ton of 10000, of whom $4,000 are
natives. A hundred years ago the
native population was 100000. Vol
canoes, leprosy, sugar, rice and wool
are the only productions. Hawaii is
the largest island of the group, and is,
in fact, larger than all the others COM
bined. Maui, Oahu and Kanai are
near in size. Mr.. Spreckles' kingdom
is considerably nearer the United States
than any other country, being only
2,1OO miles from San Francisco. Japan
is $500 miles distant from Honolulu.
Mr.. Spreckles is said to be worth $685.
100000 or $30000,000. Four years
ago he was rated at $2,500,000.

LADIES, DEPARTMENT.
Long Marriage Enpnpcmcnts.

Taking the United States through
there is not large city, says the Phila.
delphia Press, where marriage engage
ments are so formally announced and
looked upon as such solemn obliga-
tions as in Philadelphia. Long en-
gagements also prevail to consider
able extent, and they are looked upon
as good things, because they familiarize
young people with each other and
give them chance to test their con-
geniality and escape in time if they find
they do not agree.

A Quick-Witted Woman


There is one woman in London says
correspondent, who has her wits
about her, and when you come to
think about it the fact is highly credit
able to London. On the Strand thief
suddenly snatched her purse from her
and instantly disappeared in the
crowd. In the purse was some small
change and check for $40. The lady
spent no time in a fruitless attempt to
catch the thief or find a policeman.
She went to the nearest postoflice, took
telegraph blank and sent a dispatch
to the bank saying: "When any one
presents check signed by - for
$40, arrest him and detain him till l
come" She then got into cab and
drove to the bank. When she got
there she found policeman explain
ing to a very astonished young man
that he would have to wait little as
they expecte ed a lady visitor. The
young man will have three years to get
over his establishment.

How the Chinese Make Dwarf Trees.

We have all known from childhood
how the Chinese Cramp their women s
feet, and so manage to make them
keepers-at-home, but how they grow
miniature pines and oaks in flower
pots for half a century has always been
much of secret. They aim first and
last at the seat of vigorous growth,
endeavoring to weaken it as much as
may be consistent with the preserva-
ton of life. Take a young plant-say
a Seeding or cutting of cedar-when
only two or three inches high, cut off
its tap-root as soon as it has other root
lets to live upon, and replant it in an
earthen pot or pan. The end of the
tap root is generally made to rest on a
stone within it. Alluvial clay is then
put into the pot, much of it in bits the
size of beans, and just enough in kind
and quantity to furnish a scanty
nourlshment to the PLAN. Water
enough is given to keep it in growth
but not enough to excite a vigorous
habit. So, likewise, in the application
of light and heat. As the Chinese
pride themselves on the shape of their
miniature trees, they use strings, wires
and pegs and various other mechanical
contrivances to promote symmetry of
habit or to fashion their pets into odd,
fancy figures.
