Personal Points About Mrs. Burnett .

Mrs. Frances Hodgson Burnett, ncknamed
THAT Lass o Lowrie's, " because of the great
popularity of her novel by that name, is an
English woman by birth, but she has lived in
this country siucekher twelfth year. lShe sold
berries 10 pay postage on the manuscript OF
her first story, which was published in
Petersdn's Magazine before she was sixteen.
Since then she has written continuously for
several magazines frequently having as many
as three serial stories in course of publication
at the same time. Her best novels have
appeared serially in Scribners- now the
Gentuyy-but her greatest pecuniary success
was tue play of "Esmeralda,' which was
played in the United States and Canada for
20O0 consecutive nights and brought to its
author more money than any novel She ever
ever wrote. 1t is difficult to form an idea
of Mrs. Burne,ts income or the exact state
of her bank account, since she has nothing
so tangible as real estate from which to baz-
ard guess. She lives with her husband
who is Il well-known ocullst-and her two
beautiful children in rented house almost
adj Dining the residence which was once the
home OF the Garfield family. Mrs Burnctrs
home is not eXpcnsively furnished, but Is
| thoroughly artistic in all It's arrangements,
perhaps the prettiest room in the house being
1.-THE den, wherein she creates the imaginary
people of her mimic world. Lionel and
Vivian are the names of her fair-haiied boys,
and "Nagabondia' is what she calls her home
when speaking Of it to intimate friends.
She is rather given to the use of odd names
and expressions. For instance, she calls
certain style of baby-dress, which she greatly
affects, ''agoo,' because that is the nearest
approach to childs first attempt at talking.
Fond as she is of dress, Mrs. Barnett never
follows conventional fashion when it is
possible to wear another thing picturesque
or quaint. was somewhat surprised last
winter to hear lady criticise Mrs. Burnett
for appearing at an evening reception in "a
morning wrapper" but | afterwards found
that the Offending robe was simply one OF
the loose "Mother Hubbard" dresses which
have been SO long worn by children, and are
gradually creeping into favor with the ladies
also Here again, Mrs, Burnett must have
name Of her own, for she calls them balloon
dresses" She is extremely fond OF society
and is yet on the sunny side of thirty Not
strictly handsome, but with much magnetism
IN her clear out, rosy face, this keen-eyed
little lady IS most interesting convcrsa-
tionalist, although one is apt to have the
feeling that she is on the lookout for char
aclcrs, and that she would not mind working
up ones peculiarities for her next novel ii
she thought it worth while.

BURNT CORK HUMOR.
Stories of Eph Horn Recalled by Char
lie Backuss Death Oddities of One
OF the Funniest of MinstrcIs.
[From the Utica Observer.

The death of Charlie Backus revives in
the memories of those conversant with
that line of the profession he adorned
"reminiscences of the funniest man in his
way who ever took the minstrel stage n
nor write, was gifted with so keen wit
and SO ready tongue that it was not safe
for the most polished Jester to assail
him. Man of the big feet, the big hands,
and the mouth that discounted them all,
Eph Horn will rank in the scale of his
wit as one of the royal artists of the
realms of burnt cork. Without any pre-
tence to polish, there was more natural
humor in Horn than in any man in his
profession, from Daddy Rice down. He
was splendid buffoon in his day, and he
left no peer when he went to pieces, which
was some years before he died.
Some of the stories preserved of Horn
deserve n permanent place in the chroni-
cles of American humor. One of them
is now told of Len. Grover, but it origi-
mated with Eph. Horn when frenzied
gambler. The tiger devoured good half
of his handsome earnings, to say the
least, and when he got excited over Il
game he would never lei up as long as he
had anything the bank would take for
cash. Once friend made him n present
of handsome watch and chain, cuff and
collar buttons and studs, all Of gold.
sold man." he said, 'I'll keep 'em as
long as / live."
A week later his friend met him at tho
corner of Prince street and Broadway
He was standing on the curb, looking al
Barney Jackman's faro bank, on whose
shades the shadows of players were sill
houetted. His jewelry was gone, even tt
his collar buttons, and his friend remark
ed:
"Why, what's the matter, Eph? Yol
haven't been taking nap in the park ?"
"Oh, no." said Ehp, nodding at th'
windows, "I've just come through
sieve"
Another good story OF Eph, which wa
afterward carried to Boss Tweed, who wa
said to have applied it to Tom Creamer
had Miles Farren for victim. Eph me

OF the minstrel, were dangling at his side

upon it, and since finding that the spid-
ers had once drawn the line out of the
perpendicular, careful investigation is
made daily, to see that the lines are not
influenced by outside causes. Once, when
great CONSERVATION was caused by the ir-
regularity of the line, it was found that
an owl had perched upon the top of the
line. 1t was caught, killed, stuffed, and
given to Mrs. Hayes, and it is now pro-
badly on exhibition at Fremont.
Col. Casey says the monument will be
finished by the 4th of July next. 1t will
probably have an elevator in the interior
and on its top will be hadlone Of the finest
views i'll the world. America Will never
be ashamed of the Washington monu-
ment, and it will go down to posterity as
one of the greatest doings of the past.
Up to 1856 it had cost $500, 900, and since
then the appropriations have amounted
to $500, 900, 30 that altogether it will,
when completed, have cost 81, 100000.

All the mill-horses OF Europe,
Were plodding round and round,
All the mills were dronlng
The same old sound
The drivers were doing, the millers
We're deaf-ns miliers will be;

Came great shout from the sea
It startled them oil the horses,
Lazily plodding round.
Started and stopt and the mills dropt,
Like mantle, their sound.
The mlllers looked over their shoulders
The drivers opened their eyes;
A silence deeper than deafness,
Had fallen out Of the skies.

The density of ice differs very much with
the longitude. Now, ten pounds of ice at
Burlington, Ia, is about three feet square at
Cincinnati il Is about the size of n soap box I;
at Pittsburghit it is as big as stove-pipe hat /;
at Philadelphia il has to be put in the ice
chest directly from the wagon, or il will all
melt away before You can run into the house
with it, and at New York, If You ask deal
er for ten pounds of ice, he laughs in hol-
low manner and says he never heard OF such
a thing. You take so pounds or nothing,
and then he weighs II on letter scale

A summer Day.

Deep down beside the tangled sedge
The meadow-la sings all the day,
And bursts at times from out the hedge
The mimic chatter of the jay;
And here aud there wandering note,
A cricket's chirp, comes sweet aud clear
Where dreamy mists OF summer noat
AT noon upon the grassy mere.
Afar away below the hill
see the noisy mill wheel 60
The smooth broad lake above the mill,
The nash Of foam that roars below
And on the even slopes that rise
So gently toward the mountains brow,
The cattle watch with sleepy eyes
The lazy ploughboy at the plough.
My soul Is sleeping, and Its dreams
An sad and sweet that dreaming thrills !
For there are other wales and streams,
Aud other fiocks on other hills
The hills wher-on climbed to pull
The golden-rods and weeds OF May.
When all the world was beautiful,
And all my life summer day.

The Supreme kiss.

Lightly We kissed and parted,
One Kiss of many more to be;
Nor once behind the KISS liyht-healtcd,
The meanings heard In thought
or the lrrevocabe sea
Nor the light clippings caught
or the memorable oar
To waft 10 the undiscovered shore
Nor heard the ghostly wind of NevermOie
Shrlll through the house and sob about the door
Not even in DREAM
So deep sleep life sleeps
Rocked on the everlasting decps-
Felt the eternity
ltOll In twiXt thee and me,
That made that kiss supreme.
-Eliice Hopkins.
