A Rich Little Girl.

Tho Washington RcpuJHcan saws
The richest little girl in the world is the
7-year old daughter of Capt. George H..
Perkins of the U. S. navy, who is well
known in Washington. She is worth
$1,000, 600 in her own name, the amount
having been left her recently by her
grandfather, William i. Weld, of Bos-
ton. Mr.. Weld was the father of the
little girls mother and when he died

into four portions. The sum of $1,000

Perklns's income in actual cash $40. 900,
without including his government salary
or the rental from his magnificent resi-

characterized the story that Capt. Per-
klns had resigned from the navy to look

ne has been ordered to duty on board of
the steamer Hartford. The captain APP

resigning at the end of the year. The

the captain was ono of the best officers
in the service, and that he would not re-
sign, because he loves sea life too well.

Life From the Grave.

A well authenticated story is told at
Leipsc station, on the Nickel Plato
road, a few miles from Findlay, Ohio.
A well'known married lady, who was in
q delicate condition, was supposed to
have expired, and placed in vault pre-.
~aratory to burial. Her friends became
t'aid that they had not used due eau.
ton in permitting the funeral to take
place without another attempt to restore
her to life, and Insisted that the coffin
should be opened. This was done, and
to their establishment aud delight faint
flush appeared on her cheek. The
body was hurriedly removed from the
coffin and the lady finally revived. The
strangest part of the matter is that tho
lady has since become the mother Of
twin daughters and all are doing well.

In response to n sign of "Boy Want

for position in Michigan avenue
store. The proprietor liked his looks
and decided to take him, and after some
general explanations and observations
asked:

"Ilenry.'
Very well; shall call you by that"
"What IL your first namo?" asked the
boy.
"Why?"
ooh, | think it's altogether the best
