THERE is probably neither a rupture nor
arrangement between the President and ex-
Senator Conkling. The longest days of the
year are too short and professional duties too
engrossiug to afford Mr. Conkling, who has
gone to work in earnest at law practice, the
time to nurse his political relations. These
will take care of themselves. 1t is character

The Strongest Man.

Professor r. A. Proctor found at Reno,
New, a man who claims to be the strong
est man in the world. His name is An
gela Cardella. He is an Italian. aged
38. and stands five feet ten inches in
height, weighing 1873 pounds. His
strength was born with him, for he had
no athletic training. He differs from
other men chiefly in his osseous struct-
ure. Although not of unusual size, his
spinal column is double the ordinary
width, and his bones and joints are made
on similarly large and generous scale.
He can lift man Of 200 pounds with the
middle finger of his right hand. The man
stood with one foot on the floor, his arms
outstretched, and his hands grasped by
two persons to balance his body. Car
della then stopped down ard placed the
third finger of his right hand under the
mans foot, and, with scarcely any per-
ceptible effort, raised him TO the height
of four feet and deposited him upon a
table near at hand. One or two power
full Irishmen way1aid CardeIla with in
tent to thrash him, but he seized one IN
each hand and bent them together till
life was nearly hammered out of them.
He was of quiet and peaceable dispcsi-
ton and his strength inherited, for he
states his father was more powerful than
him ea1f

The Betrotlled.

There was once in this country youth
and handsome girl who had been court
ing for many years, and were betrothed
to each other, and had pledged them
selves to remain faithful to each other
even after death.
Now it came to pass that the young
man went at last on long, long voyage,
and died in foreign lands. So that his
happened to him.
Yet in the night he returned to his ma
tive village, and entered the stables of
the young girls parents, and took there
from a white mare, and rode her to
where his sweetheart slum bered with
friends ut a great distance off.
And the dead man rode to the door of
the house, and knocked upon it. SO that
the folk within were aroused and cried
out: "Who is there q
'sIt is young man sent by the parents
of the girl who is living here to fetch her
home"
''Ah p said the dead mans sweetheart,
mamma must have sent him." For she
knew the voice.

She mounted upon the white mare be-
hind him, and they started. But on the
road the youg man said to her:
'.The moon lights thee; death is with
thee-art not afraid p
may" she answered; with thee
cannot fear"
And he complained of strange pain
in his head.
Bind thy handkerchief" she said
around thy forehead
He answered that he had none. and
the young girl gave him hers, which he
tied around his head.
So they rode to the house of the maid

knocked upon the door, that they nigh

that he had no handkerchief, and I len

They went to the stable; and the be-
trothed was not there. But the whit'

When the young girl learned that he

But long afterward, when the body oi
the dead sailor was disinterred in order
that the lovers might be buried together
they found the maiden's white handker

Her Saturday afternoon receptions were
delightful features in the social whirl

when held in her warm grasp or gazing
into her bright, sparkling face. The
presentations to Mrs. McElroy are not
followed, as heretofore, by introductions
to the several members of the receiving
party, and one wanders rather helplessly
along the long line of beautifully dressed
women, unless perchance some familiar
face causes momentary stop and snatch
of conversation. The woman of social
standing has hitherto stepped in the rear

member or the party assisting in the en-

What the Prince of Wales Might Do.

The outlook before the Prince of Wales
is not very brilliant. At forty-two man
gets weary of the eternal round of soci-
ETY., and it may be believed and hoped
that the Prince is sick of the empty
headed "set' of the past. and tnat bear
fights between his butts and bufoons,
Aylesfords, Cronmels, etc., have ceased
to have charms for him. But the career
open to the eldest son of q Duke is closed
to him. Nothing, as matters stand, can
change his position save the abdicGtion
or death of the Queen. Indeed, he is
even worse off than his brother-in-law In
Germany, since he has at least actively
and honorably participated in real life in
the army, from which the Prince of
Wales is kept back by etiquette and con-
demned to pass his days in christening
steamboats,, ,inaugurating docks and open
ing new wings to hospitals-delightfu
tasks, doubtless, yet which, nevertheless,
must after while be apt to pail, and we
can we'll imagine that vista of some
twenty years more passed in that fashion
may not be altogether cheering. And

long as that, and those who know her
