A Troublesome Pauper.

There has just died in the Wolyer-
hampton workhouse, in England, q man
who, for the whole of his lifetime, ex-
tending over thirty seven years. has been
a source of trouble to the union officials
in the district and the central authorities
in London. Picked up originally by tile
roadside when an infant few days old,
Lis parents unknown, he was christened
by guardian under the name of Blythe
way. He grew up in the workhouse
until old enough to be sent out as an
apprentice. During the next seven years
he tired out the patience of his master,
as he had tired out the patience of the
officials of the union, and when his ap-
premiership expired he came back to the
workhouse as to his own home. Thus he
remained up to the time Of his death,
either an indoor or outdoor pauper. He
wrote SO many letters to the Local Gov
ernment Board, complaining of almost
every official connected with the house.
that the central authority at length or
dered an inquiry into his mental state.
This inquiry, however, did not establish
lnnacy, and Bytheway remained about
Wolyerhampton. and continued in his
proceedings, appearing from time to
time with real or imaginary grievances
before the magistrates or County Court
Judges. He was baptized in the Church
of England, and, after protesting various
religious creeds during life, he ended his
checkered career by dying in the Roman
Catholic faith.

Taking up of Scriptural ideas, Mr..
Beecher said God created pair and put
them into the Garden of Eden. He told
them not to eat the apple. They did.
and for that they were condemned. If
they had been your children, said MIR.
Beecher, looking over his audience, you
would have spanked them and put them
to bed. According to theological dog
mas God said he would make many out
of their loins. He told them He would
make their descendants bad. Great
heavens! said Mr.. Beeeher, they were
bad enough without making them any
worse. The idea that succeeding gem
erations were to be stained through be-
Cause their ancestors ate an apple-be.
cause of crime they never committed and
never thought of-Mr. Beecher ridiculed.
For 10. 900 years races had been dropping
like beans into the bottom of hell for
this cause. The speaker would not love
Being who could ordain such thing
as that. IF this was the God he was
called upon to worship he would re-
nounce him. He revolted at such con-
ception, made up by bad theology. But
science dispelled the illusion and the
awakening was to see the fresh morning
dew.
Mr.. Beecher said to his hearers that
they did not believe in hell and the men
who preached it did not. They thought
they did, but they did not. Gould any
man believe in it and live in peace? The
speaker related scenes at the fire in
Brooklyn yesterday. He spoke of the
fear that human beings might perish in
the flames and his desire to do something
to save lives that might be endangered.
Gould he dance to the festive lutte and
see them in torment? Gould man look
out on his fellow beings and believe they
were doomed to fire forever and yet live?
No. It was not so 1t was not taught
whether consequences followed in the
other life. Mr.. Beecher believed they
did An internal old bottomless pit was
taught. There might be state of evo-
luton in the future life. Those who had
not reached state of perfection would
go through process to make them what
they ought to be. IF there was not a
moral germ in the man MIR. Beecher
did not believe he existed after the body

Whaleb0ne.

The principal application of whale
bone now is that in making whips and
corsets. Steel has mostly displaced
whalebone In umbrellas and parasols.
Some years ago umbrella ribs we're made
in France of an excellent imitation of
whalebone (not distinguishable, indeed,
till fractured) but it is no longer heard
of. Genuine whalebone is often made
white and used with garments of muslin
or the like, not being seen through these
so easily as the dark sort. The newest
application of whalebone is that to hats i;
it is cut into fine strips and interlaced
with straw Such hats are very dear.
Another novelty is 'twhalebone ribbon. !"
For this white whalebone is generally
used, and the shaving is so thin that
ordinary print can be read through
it. It is often colored blue, red or green,
and used by saddlers in making roseties
Walking sticks of whalebone are also in
good demand. The exceptionally thick
strips out for this purpose are rounded
by being g>drawn through holes in steel
plate. Billiard pads OF whalebone must
be very smooth and cut of O certain ex-
act thickness. Fishing rods are made of
two carefully worked strips of whalebone
with thick silk thread wound round
them. Penholders and other small arti-
cles are made of whalebone at the lathe.
The hair cut off the raw whalebone was
formerly used for brushes, but it is now
mostly repaced by other materials. It is
largely crisped and used as filling for
mattresses. This list by no means ex-
hausts the uses of whalebone, which is
continually being applied in new ways.

Errors OF Etiquette.

The Cincinnati Saturday Night has the
following:
The lady who tries to keep pace with
the fashions must needs be extremely
careful as to every particular in her cos
tuning, as to cut and quality OF each
garment, and as to when, how and where
to wear them.
There are ten thousand laws as inexor.
able as those of the Medes and Persians,
of which fashion demands observance
concerning the most minute and trihing
the multitudinous details that go
toward the makeup of the fashionable
woman.
For example, late member of we'll
known fashionable journal says: Annie
of Austria collarettes are suitable only
for matinee jackets. Turkish fez caps
are worn only as breakfast caps. !"
Apropos of these edicts of fashion, an
incident:
Seated near q couple of ladies at the
Grand the other night, we overheard a
portion of their conversation.
Sail one: '.You notice that have an
Annie of Austria collarettee."
Yes responded the other, 'what
could you;haye been thinking about. my

matinees.

And the other lady vowed that she
never had.

found himself in Paris. Here he fortu-
tunatelye fell In with an acquaintance he
had made while in London, and who had
since married and was then doing busi-
ness in Paris.
At his friends house one evening, he
was introduced to an Amrican young
lady, of whom he became enamored at

The young lady, Miss Julia Kentridge
by name. was to etart for New York in q
few days, and on hearing this, Dick en-

age was pleasant one, and before they
arrived at Sandy Hook. Miss Julia had
promised that, with her mothers consent
she would become Dicks wife. When
they reached the city she found acarriage

an obscure hotel.
The next day he mounted the steps

the parlor, and shortly afterward entered
Miss Kentridge.
When they had greeted each other af

said:

Dick was seated under window, look
