mont tie other day. 1t is very easy to see at
glance that she was a very handsome girl.
Her good looks, however, have not entirely
departed. Rather, beauty has changed to
stateliness She is large and stout, and
combs her luxuriant h;sr straight back. She
is to all appearances as happy and contented
as when girl. Notwithstanding age has
changed her looks, am told it has not
changed her manners il the least. She still
graces the drawing-room with as much ease
and composure as ever, and talks with the
same brilliancy.
She is daughter Of the noted Thomas
Benton, Of Missouri, for many years United
States senator from that state. She met
Fremont in Washington, whereupon the lat
ter became frantically in love with her. Her
father and mother were much averse to the
MATCH and did everything to break it. Tho
young couple, however, were determined,
and were married by a Catholic priest, no
Protestant clergyman consenting to perform
the ceremony. Although Senator and Mrs.
Benton were very angry, reconciliation
soon took place.
Mrs. Fremont was woman OF remarkable
courage and fortitude. She joined her hus-
band in many of his journeys in the west
until they finally settled in California. In
the early days of California Il struggle en-.
sued as to whether slavery should exist there.
The pro-slavery party, SO the story goes,
labored with the women Of the state, telling
them that unless they kept slaves they would
b. slaves themselves Mrs Fremont was ep-
preached, whereupon she stoutly ieplied
"No! Rather than have slavery in Califor-
mia, III do my own work. l have done it SO
far; and I'll do it still" Slavery wasn't
recognized in California after that.
In the summer of 1856 Fremont was
chosen as the Republican nominee for prcsi-
dent. A glance at the files Of newspapers Of
the time convnces one Of the bitterness Of
the contest, and Of the important part Ms.
Fremont played in the campaign. Her name
was in everybody's mouth, and was the sub
ject Of campaign songs But Gen. Fremont
was defeated, AMI Jessie never entered the
White House as the presidents wife.
"Yes we have lived in New York ever
sinco the war;" she said, land arc as
happy as ever III our old age. The general
is as young AMI vigorous Us any Of you, il he
is Il years of age. He has never worn
glasses IN his l.fe-aever had tooth filled
and very seldom has had anything to do with
doctors. No. of course, he does no business
TO speak of, but lives very quiet and happy
life"
Should Mr.. and Mrs Fremont be sParel

Literary Advertising.
Inter Oceanl

lnLeT Ocedu
The poetical advertisement had its begin
ming early in this century. Packwood, the
great razor-strap man Of England, lei in
this department, and like other kings en-
ployed the talents Of a laureate. When one
of the danlsels Of his household was asked
concerning the authorship Of some verses
extolling the immortal Packwood and his
wares, she said; "l.a! sir, wo keeps poet"
Anccdotal advertising, or the advertisement
cloaked in the guise of an incident or novel
ette, has always been more or less in favor,
but much skill and tact is required in COM
posing it. We have never equaled the French
in this line. They often have in their lead
ing journals an entire serial story in which
every situation, even every love scene is in
genously manipulated SO as to bring forward
the merits of some tradesman, merchant, in-

She Won't He Interviewed.

As is we'll known in newspaper circles, Mrs.
Langtry this year has not allowed herself to
he interviewed. She has even refrained from,
seeing repo, ters, and all their cards have
been returned with the frigidly polite notice
that the Lily was engaged. 1t now appears
that Chicago journalist is to blame for this
condition of affairs. A year ago, when she
~as in the windy city, she was called upon
by one of the young men on The Inter Ocean,
who chatted very pleasantly with her. All
ut once he startled her by the request:
AIRS. Lanstry, will you be kind enough to
show ne your feet"
She was SO utterly taken aback that she
meekly complied with the odd request
which is not SO odd for Chicago-but she
was shocked and Mortified. In her opinion
all newspaper men at once became Doors and
rough creatures who were seeking to say evil
things about her, AMI this explains her posi-
tive refusal to be interviewed.

A Celestial Tramp.
New York Times. I

The Chinaman in New York is never out
at the elbows. He usually wears staid aud
contented expression Of countenance, as
though he were ou the best OF terms with the
current coin of the country. But last cven-
ing one was observed walking along Sixth
avenue, in tho midst of the SNOW aud rain,
who hal lost all sleekneis except that which
the storm had given him by slturating his
clothing. He was ragged and absolutely for.
lorn. He was walking Oh the uppsrs OF his
sandals, and covered his hands carefully in
the tattere fol S Of his sleeves But it was
not for long. A liquor store confronted him
and on his right flank there was a row OF
kegs. He eyed them wistfully for moment
and then glided across the slippery pavement
toward them. He drew ono of his hands
from hisseeves, and with it came an old to-
mato-can. He tipped keg in the most ap-
proved fashion, received the dregs in his can,
and stole into the area of house in an ad-
joining street and regaled himself in peace.
Ee was Chinese tramp, but he had fallen
deep into the wicked ways of his American
brother.
