A BOSTON Girl becomes Interesting
[CrofFnt's letter.

/ heard a good Boston story yesterday
that is, a story Of a Boston family who
moved here two months ago. They take The
Transcript The mother is a brilliant talker,
but the eldest daughter, a girl OF Is. is rather
unresponsivo in general society. "why don't
you read up, Katef' her mother said to her
when some callers had gone; take The
Transcript every day and go through it thor
oughly. Read the news. Read everything.
You'll find enough to talk about Be
posted. Don't sit like a dummyl-
The noIt day on the approach OF
visitors the poor girl seized The Transcript
and fed to her room. There for au hour she
pored over It, becoming every minute more
and more vexed and horrorstruck to find
hat there was no food for intellectual con
verSation in it-nothing, in fact, except long
columns Of figures about Buffers defeat. At
last her mother sent for her to come down
and not be 30 rude. Distracted and
hysterical, the girl rushed downstairs
to the parlor, red-eyod and dis
heveled, Transcript in hand, and astonished
the guests by bursting out, ~ can't lind any
thing in The Transcript ! hate the paperI
There isn't a thing in it'll Not a word Toto
talk about Not a word but these horrible
figures about Butlori l nate Butler!"
Her mother tried to Eoothe hor disor-
dered nerves by inducing her to re-
tire TO tho dining-room and eat a
little cake and cheese, explaining to the
guests that Katie was hungry and tired, II
DOM want tol" She again exploded: ~You
know J hate cheesel- For the first time the
Boston girl succeeded in becoming thor
oughly interesting.

The Father OF the House and His
Daughter.

Crawford in Chicago News
Judge Kelley, the father of the house, has
apparently recovered his health entirely. 1t
is not often that a man has a cancer cut out
Of his face and rscoyersi The result in
general is a mere prolongation of his agony.
Kelley had a ANGER in his mouth very similar
to that OF Ben Hill. But 1t Is now certain
that Kelley's was not Of such a malignant
character. 1t was brought on originally
by his lifelong habit of going to sleep with
a quid Of tobacco in his mouth. The pressure
of this lump Of poison upon the inside
Of his check for a number of years produced
the cancer. He has stopped the use of tobacco
entirely now. He has had a good fright,
and, Of course, will now take no more risks.
He Is taking such good care Of himself that /
doubt very much if he attempts to make any
more speeches. He has two children, a con
and n daughter, The Judge Is very proud OF
his daughter. She Is an enthusiastic student
OF political economy or rather OF the political
economical system of which her father has
been so long an earnest advocate. Last
spring she and her brother made q visit to
Europe, and made a wa~lking-tour through
Germany and France.
The judge, like all men who have a hobby,
rides 1t to death. He talks and thinks about
nothing but the tariff. His reading is oil
directed to that end. His daughter, the pride
Of his heart, is perhaps the ono woman in
America who thinks at least that she knows
something about the tariff question. Kelley
has an idea that the subject OF the tariff, Il
presented clearly, must fascinate the mind OF
every one. An unfortunate members wife
at the Riggs house one day, in conversation
with the judge, was imprudent enough to
say: ~ never could understand the tariff
question" The judge, upon hearing this
remark, backed the poor woman into a quiet
alcove of the parlor, and there he sat down
in a big chair where he could cut off every
avenue OF escape and proceeded TO ~enlighten
her. BE talked to her for two straight hours,
with such demoralizing effect hat the lady
in question has hardly been in her right mind
since,

willard Under Blankets.

SASDN-
One night when the army was being trans
ferred from the Rapidan over to Fredericks-
burg, and Willard and l were trying to keep
along with it, we found ourselves a good
ways from any eligible house and compelled
to camp soldier-fashion on the ground. We
picketed our horses, then brought a dozen
nice, soft. three-cornered rails from a worm
fence near by, laid them gracefully side by
side on the wet grass, as close together as
possible, and went TO bed. As IL was cold We
put our blankets together and laid them over
US, and, as there were no mosquitoes, we got
along fairly well. The only disturbance was
made by Willard. | woke suddenly, about l
o'clock, and found Willard sitting up in bed,
carefully pushing the blankets out over rue
and saying, Excuse me-" This happened
three or four times during the night, my con-
scientious bed-follow pulling tine blankets
over me, as If he had more than his share,
and zach time saying, Excuse me-" didn't
suppose that such a man as that ever would
be rich. Maybe he has been 30 foolish as to
give away his wife's property and start from
bed rock again-who knowsf

The Northern Pacific Clock.

lShANNEO ililth
A clock, the case Of which was made from
a piece Of the last tie OF tho Northern Pacific
railroad, which was laid in the Rocky noun.
tAins last September, was recently completed
by a New Haven, Conn, clock company for
Mr.. B%ridgmAn. The clock was designed for
a present to eI-President Willard, aud was
sent to him last week. The rough,
irregular piece OF wood had been pol
ished into a neat block before the work Of
ornAmentation was begun. 1t was then
placed on a silver base with gold rim and
bars to represent a yard. On the side OF the
case was a small bear, and on tho other an
elk. Across the front were the words,
blessed Is the tie that binds,n and on the
dial was the quotation "Finis coronnt opus. "
A miniature gold engine surmounted the case,
standing on a slightly projecting platform.
aTo Henry Willard, from Henry L. Bridg-
man. was the inscription on the back OF the
clio X. The value OF 1t is about 500.
