THE LOVE OF Mr. CHRIsTIANCY FOR his WIFE
friend OF Mr.. ChriStiancy, who was acquainted
with his divorced wife, said to q STAR reporter
to-day:
81 never knew q woman In whom the scale OF
emotion was so long. It ranged from the loftiest
exultatiOn TO the deepest depression She was a
creature swayed by impulse. One day she would
be buoyant with hope and the next day. wretched
II was In one OF these extremes that she married
Mr.. ChriSuancy, and In the other that she told him
on her wedding night that she did not love him.
and cursed her fate. However, she soon returned
TO her state OF exalted happiness The Senator
told me, even after his divorce proceedings were
begun, that In her happy moods she was one
OF the ktndeSt and sweetest women In the world.
You may not believe 1t, or you may think he is a
fondly foolish old man, but Senator Chr1stiancy
loved that woman with his whole heart and loves
her now. When he reads the telegram telling her
death his heart viii be very heavy indeed. He was
compelled TO bring the proceedings for divorce I'm
order that the record OF his life should not be de-
stroyed. He had 70 vindicate himself. But all
through the hearing he was careful never to say a
word more than necessary. At the very close OF

A Boy Emperor.

The present Emperor Of Chinais boy
about sixteen years old, and resides IL
the royal residence in a state of strict
seclusion. The particular building
which contains the seven apartments
of the Emperor is situated in the centre
of the huge enclosure which constitutes
tine Palace, and the distance to the
South gate, by which Ministers of State
enter, is half a mile. Etiquette pre-
scribes that the distance shall be done
on foot, so that to hold frequent audi
ence of His Majesty would mean feat
of pedestrianism on the part of his ad-
visers. As a matter of fact, however,
Ministers, who are elderly, are given a
special dispensation, and are allowed to
use a Sedan carriage.
The Emperor being semi-diyine per-
sonage, it is incumbent on all wko ap-
proach him, even his mother, to kneel.
In early years the Celestial potentate
underwent vaccination, but it appears
to re-vaccinate him, as to use
a lancet on the royal person is one of the
Chinese deadly sins. Considering the
absurdly deferential attitude which his
mother, the Princess Of Chun, is obliged
to adopt toward her exalted son, it is
rot surprising that the maternal visit

TIE WRONG PULPIT.

A good and true story is going the
rounds of Boston about the adventure of
a worthy Congregationalist pastor who
ministers to a suburban church. He had
agreed to supply Roxbury pulpit for
an absent brother. He came into Bos-
ton and promptly took a Highland car
for the scene of his evenings labor In
due time he deserted a steeple, and,
reaching the church, got out, walked in,
took off his OvercOat in the vestry, and
went straightway to the pulpit. He
glanced around on the congregation and
proceeded, after a minute or two's de-
lay, to give out a good old standard
Congregational hymn. The congre-
cation proceeded to find the place, the
organ gave the tune, and the singing
began. While it was in progress the
sexton walked up the pulpit stairs and
said to our suburban friend:
"NIr. -- will be here in a few min
utes.
The situation flashed upon him, but
suppresslng his emotions he asked:
"Why, isn't this Mr.. IS church ?"
''No, sir" calmly replied the sexton;
''this is the Universalist church"
There was an exchange of places afew
minutes later. The friends of the sub
urban minister are now fond of asking
him how he came to enter the Univer-
salist ministry. He laughs and solaces
himself with the remark
"Well, I got them to sing a good
orthodox hymn anyway. :" - Boston

CONTEMPT OF COURT.

In the days gone by a citizen of Detroit
who has latelybeen gathered to his fathers
was Justice of the Peace for one of the
townships of this county. One day as
he sat in his office with nothing to do a
friend came along with a young horse.
The Squar' was somewhat conceited on
the horse question, and when informed
that the equine before him would let no
man ride him he at once determined to
accomplish the feat. A crowd gathered,
a saddle was brought, and his Honor
presently found himself astride of the
beast. The next thing he knew he was
lying in a muddy ditch, and dozen
men were laughing to kill.
'I declare this court in session !"
yelled his Honor as he struggled up.
At this there was a fresh burst of
laughter, and he continued:
"And each and every one of you Is
fined 50 for contempt of court p
They laughed harder than ever, but
the fines were recorded and collected;
and for years after it was understood
that court was in session except when
the Squar' was in bed and asleep. De

HE FORGOT THE STIFF NECK.

A day or two ago, as the passengers
were leaving one Of the ferryboats, a
gentleman who stood beside a customs
officer, remarked:
''When I see poor fellow like that I
am consoled for not being rich"
"Who?"
"Why, that man with hump on his
back. had rather be poor all my days
than be deformed and have millions Of
money"

come and see, replied the officer, as he
walked toward the unfortunate and in
vited him to pass up stairs. There was
a kick, but he had to go, and three or
four minutes time suficed to remove
his deformity, which consisted of
twenty-five yards ofAannel and six pairs
of socks.
"Purty smart r. growled the snug
gler, as he was allowed to go.

FOR THE YEAR 1888.
cZrNew and enlarged Kilns and Shedding have re
emily been erected at great expense.
As an experiment, and to meet the necessity
of the times, we decided three years ago TO
lower the price of our LINE 25 per cent,
making it cents per bushel, instead of 8
cents, as formerly. The success of this plan
was such that our sales were MORE THAN
DOUBLED, and we concluded to continue the
price at
6 Cents per Bushel
until further notice. The superior excellence
and cheapness of Shell Lime for agricultural
purposes can be attested by hundreds of the
best farmers of Delaware and Maryland and
the steadily increasing demand is the best
proof of its merits. Now is the time to inn
prove lands at small cost.
