CompIfmenting Kate FieId.'


Kass EFiieiiaa, tue bonnie ~lassie, ought
to appreciate the high opinion of her
entertained by the newspapers. She
recently had a good word 10 say for
journalists, ard this is tn, way the
latter return Che compliment:
Kate Field says she honorl journal
lists. Kate, by the way, is the young
lady who is continually bling taken for
Mrs. Langtry.- Boston Star. In per.
sonal appearance, yes. Dat as a writer
she is very mach Hxc George Elliot
rather superior. 10 fact. = Rochester
Express. AuthOl ship and beauty are
well enough; but you should hear Kate
sing. Then is when people pity Patti
and get sorry for Nilsson [Louis-
vile Courier journal.
Nothing shows Miss Fields versa
tility SO much as her work in the do,
mains Of art. Rosa Bonheur is great
in a limited ield-say of animals
but the pencil Of Miss Field takes in
the whole realm OF De
troit Free Press.
And you should see the artistic and
satisfactory name in which Kate
sews on a suspender button and broils
a No. 2 mackerel. A button
sewed on By a gifted woman
couldn't be pulled of by a yoke o.
oxen, while her broiled mackereI
tastes like quail on toast, She il
talented and no mistake. -[Norristowr

Beauty, art, literary, musical anC
domestic talents are very good il
their way; but what we most admir-,
about Kate is her fresh, charming
rosebud youth. One would nevel
suppose from her sweet girlishnesI
that she is almost eighteen years old
-[Philadelphia News.
Nothing eifeminate or prudish abou
her either, although she is aware o
her beauty and talent. She has Will
all these attractive qualities fine hors,

who was in this country ten years
ago, in the life time Of both her father
and her mother. After the appoints
ment OF an administrator, he received
a letter from the daughter in Missouri,
stating that she was present ten years
ago aud saw her father aud mother
deposit 5000 in gold in a small copper
pot and then take up the hearth
rocks Of the family room, and
dig q hole and place the pot and
money in the hole and replace the
hearth. On receipt of the letter the
administrator with several others who
he invited TO be present, took up the
hearth rocks and found the $500 in
gold. The tin pot was almost rotten,
but the gold was as bright as ever. No
one of the children in this country had
ever heard of this money being hid.
A short time before the death Of
William Hardy he told his attor-
ney that in the life time
Of his wife he had given
her $500 in gold and requested her to
hide it and not let him or anyone else
know where she had hid it, and thar
she did so. He said he was fearful
that he might be robbed and forced to
tell where the money was, and did not
want to be able to tell. His wife died
about FIVE years ago, and failed to tell
her husband or anyone else where she
had hid the gold. Repeated searches
have been made, but the money has not
as yet been found.

Young America Down in Georgia

"hNNNA RAnH
Last summer we saw a boy between
fourteen and fifteen years Of age who
weighed $50 pounds. The boy had on
cotton pants homespun shit, wool
hat and no shoes. He walked into
Benson's store, bought some tools, as
Joe Brown would say, with judgment.
He ran his hand down in his pants
pocket, pulled out a $50 gold piece. paid
the bill, politely babe us good morning
and left. Soon after the boy left the
store another about the same age, 4
healthy, who never did a day's WOs
in his life, and whose daddy IS a poor
man, came in, He had on a Sold
collar button, fine suit of store clothes
and six dollar shoes. His standing
collar was SO stiff ii looked like Il
might cut his ears of and the points
we're sharp enough to pick his teeth.
In ten years from now we expect to
see the first boy one Of the prominent
men ofthe country and the other one
in the penitentiary.

the following mention a few days ago:
THE bright particular star is Miss
Abbie Darlington, whose splendid
voice, so full, rich, musical and true,
with an excellent technique and skill
full yocalization, prove her the genuine
and unmistakable artistic. These are
qualities which always attract and
elicit admiration wherever they are
found, but when possessed by one 50
lovely and charming in face, manners
and address as Miss Darlington, then
indeed is the pleasure Of her perform.
ances two fold 10 its enjoyment. With
the disadvantage Of large figure, yet
there is that grace and ease in all her
movements, made specially fascinating
By the exhibition of a tiny little foot
and the most delicately shaped hand
and tapering fingers. Before she sing
a note she has captured her audience
which increases in enthusiasm as with
every aria the fair singer displays the
beauties Of her voice aud her powers
Of vocalizstion; and when, with thai
exquisite expression and perfect TASTE
she sings Scenes that are Brightest,
her victory is complete and encore
