He was unable, however. to obtain

in discovering the missing address,

Greatly relieved by the precautions,
Mr.. Parchment returned to his office
and resumed his days work with

 The late Charles Reade wrote essay aftef essay on the subject of ambideues- ny until the critics began to accuse him of being a monomaniae on this subject. Why, Reade asked, should we teach children 10 use only one handl Why not allow them to use both equally. as they naturally would if they were not taught to employ the tight alone. The left is fully as good. with the same strength, cunning and ability. A man can strike as weI with T.. and write as well. IL would certainly seem to be to his interest to possess full control of both, and full power to use them, since t would enable him to do twice as much as under the present system. Often in writing, one's hand grows tired. Were ambi- dextenty taught, you need simply rans- l fer the pen 10 the other hand, until you were rested, and thus you could keep on writing forever without fatigue. And as in writing. so would it be in every other line oi business requiring manual work. 1 Ambidexterity IS now being taught in nearly all the commercial colleges. 1, is found of great value to clerks and book keepers, and i, is easily learned. |, is only of late years ,ha, this new and some what curious study was introduced, but i, is progressing rapidly in favor. and more are engaged in |, now than ever before.

 There are said to be thousands of ambi- dextrous persons in this county Both presidents. Jefferson and Garfield oosld write equally well with either hand.

The Story of Two Wives.

Madrid Letter, in American Register, Paris.
 It is not little curious to note how a Jocose item concerning distinguished writers, artists, etc., gets started in a news paper and travels the globe, then comes back to its starting place, to again set forth on another tour du monde. Such is the story ses afoat year or two ago about the wives of Alma Tadema and Edmund Coss, the artis, and the author. It was to the effect that they married the daughters. of Epps, the cocoa manufac. turer, and as the worthy preparer of that tropical article was, and is, in the habit of heading his advertisements with com forting," grateful" it was said that the nioknamas that these excellent ladies vent by were" Comforting and Crate full" A presiy good joke, one would say but ther0 is very tslle truth to base i, upon, except the name of Epps. It % happens hat the ladies m quesfi0n are not at all the daughters of the manufac- ture of cocoa, but of a homeopathic physician, rather famous in his day, whose residence was in the arissocraiic region Of DevonshiIe street, Portland Place, London.

SENATORS WHO GO FISHING
wsshing,on Star.


 There are not many who would take Senator Edmunds to be one Of the mos, skillful anglers in the country. He can, however, cast hy with the bes, of 'em, and fairly revels in the sport. He is an expert at salmon-hshing, and has killed many big fellow with a light rod by dexterity and patience alone.
 Nor is MT. Edmunds the only accom- piished and enthusiastic disciple of Wal ton in his branch of the national legisla. ture. In fact, some of the best anglers anywhere to be found are in the senate. Hon. Wade Hampton is almoR withou, a peer as fly fisherman. It is not alone the ease and grace with which he han dles the rod that gives him pre-emineuce in the piscatoriai art. but he is thoroughly ver,ed in every branch of the sport His fondnsss for it has led him to study the philosophy of angling, the habits of game fishes and the utility of tackle. He is a recognized authority on all matters per- taining to the sport IL has not been many days sizce Senator Hampton, with a naked line on light rod, made 4 czs, that sent the end of the line twenty-four yards.
 Senator Frye is another slillful manip- ula;or of the fly. He delights in coaxing the wary trou, to take the lure. and his sunburnt face is proof of the diligence with which he plies the rod through the fishing season.
 Senator Vest is also a skillful angler and remarkably successful one. In the rivalry that always goes with the fishing parry he invariabiy easers with genuine spiris, and he usually wins the ehamp.on- ship by killing the biggest Ssh and the greasest number.
 Senator McPhexson is another superb angler. He is the owner of one of the most complese and coseiy outfits that was perhaps ever collected together. With fAe ad;oummept of coogress he besalEss himse6 and tDei<ie so the haunas of bass and trout, and for . change he sometimes goes in quest of salmon.
 Senator Rasf, of Connecticut, is ike wise an ardent lover Of the sposs, and hs is ensiiled to rank with the expesss. He makes an annual tour through the Adj. roadscks, where he has fns peEmassst canp.
