Ex-senator Lyman Trumbull.

Chicago Letter in louisville Courier-Journal
Ex-senator Lyman Trumbull, of Illinois,
grows in years. Supplied with enough of the
worlds stores to keep him from anything which
would annoy the average mortal, he is still of an
economical bent. Having u home in the south
ern end of the city, in the midst Of people who
have Wallets, coachmen and buffers and q retinue
of domestics, this man, who once aspired to
presidential honoTs, goes out in the morning to
do his own buying at the market. and &es it
home to his cook with such Instructions as he
cares to give as to the preparation. In the sea-
son when his grasses in his lawn grow long, he
goes out and does his own moving. lie comes
down to his Office in the morning on a suburban
train. He goes home to lunch at l O'clock; henever
dimes down town. lie walks from the depot
on the lake front to his office whether there is
rain or a blue sky. He has never owned o coach
or carriage. He has never had, of course, a
lackey. His exclusion from all sorts of amuse-
ment is a matter Of comment with his friends.
l know from his own lips that he has not been
in a place of amusement for nearly twenty
years. They tell me that he could attend an
opera and prepare a criticism which would pass
in the columns of any reputable newspaper.
And yet, returning to his home or going to his
Office, the divine queen of opera might sing and
sing as he passed in, and he would not 50 much
as raise his hat to her. So thoroughly en-
crossed is the man in his business that the
pleasures of life 60 by his door unnoticed. His
home is rich in everything which the thoroughly
cultured might appreciate. Every book in his
library has at some time or other been looked
into by him. The paintings and pictures or his
walls show to the eye of one accustomed 10 such
that the owner is a man of the very highest
appreciation of art.

though a great strategist, he never seemed to
me to know how to handle the troops after the
battle had begun
1 then told him what Guizot told rae of Lannes
having said that lie plus grand General etait
celui one la cannonade faisait mieuX entendre,
ct que la fumee faisait voir plus clair"
Duke-Humph! Ia pauseG. That's only a clev-
erer phrase for what l have been Just saying
sang froid-presence of mind; but that is not
enough; the mind, besides being cool, must have
the art of knowing what is TO be done and how
to do it.
81 certainly did not draw my sword. I may
have ordered, and 1 dare say l did order, the
charge of the cavalry, and pointed out its direc-
ton; but did not charge as a common trooper.
81 have at all times been in the habit of Gov
ering as much as possible the troops exposed to
the fire of cannon. l place them behind the
top of the rising ground and make them sit
and lie down, the better to cover them from the
fire.
after the fire Of the enemy's cannon, the
enemy's troops may have advanced, or a favor
able opportunity Of attacking might have ar
rived. What l must have said, and possibly
did say, WAS: Stand up, Guardsr and then
gave the commanding officers the order to at
tack.
my common practice in a defensive position
was to attack the enemy at the very moment at
which he was about to attack our troops"

Where PATHS Money Goes.
New York Letter.

1&N &tAN $1,000
Patti makes a great deal of money, and she
spends a great deal. At the rate she lives it must
cost her something like n hundred thousand dol
lars a year. She has a retinue of people, and a
large suite of apartments at the Windsor Hotel
private table, of course-and her own chef,
whom she brings with her. Then she has a castle
in Wales to keep up, and that is an enormous
tax on her income. Even when she does not
live there she has ten or a dozen people taking
care of the house. and as many more on the
place. The castle itself is as large as a small no.
tel. 1t has forty-five furnished rooms, besides
other rooms that are not furnished. 1t is a
whim of Patti TO keep up this place, and
she has enough money to indulge
herself in expensive whims. Besides the
money that Patti earns, she has 5000, 900 that
can never be touched; at least the princial can
not be touched; she has the use of the income,
of course. But this she does not lay much stress
upon. Theincome of 5000, 600 is a small item to
a person who makes as much money as she does.
Christine Nilsson is really Weather than Patti,
because she has more laid up and better in
vested than is PATHS money. The castle in
Wales, which represents a little fortune, is an
expense rather than an income. All the money
that Christine Nilsson has in real estate brings
her in a good round interest. Then Nilsson is
thrifty. She spends very little money compared
to Patti. 1t is hard to say which is the wiser
the one who spends as she goes or the one who
lays up her money. Patti will always have that
5000, 600 to fall back on, so she saves very
little of her earnings. There is no one to come
after her except Nicolinis children, and to those
she is very liberal now.

Lucy Hooper's Paris Letter.
Miss Eva Mackay isreally and truly engaged to
be married. 1t is not a mere newspaper report this
time, but a bona fide announcement, made by
the family of the future bride. l had the pleas
ure of being presented to the happy bridegroom
elect the other day. He is a fine-looking young
man, just twenty-seven years of age, and is evi
IDENTIFY very much in love with his fair and
youthful betrothed. Miss Mackay, who is
five years his junior, is a most charming
girl, a slender and graceful brunette, petite
in form and of singularly winning manners,
She is highly accomplished, speaking French,
Italian and Spanish to perfection, and she
possesses, moreover, a very high degree of mu-
steal talent. AS an amateur vocalist she is I'M
surpassed in the musical circles of Paris. Her
voice is remarkably sweet and pure in tone, and
her method of singing is of true artistic excel
lence. Prince Colonna is the heir to the estates
of the Naples branch of the family, his uncle,
who is now its chief, being childless. The we'd
ding will probably not take place until after
Easter. Mr.. Mackay is a passenger on board
the steamship Aurania, due at Queenstown to-
day, and after his arrival all details of the mar
riage will be definitely decided.

"Gath's" Porterhouse Steak.
New York Tribune.

ANRh 4OAh bNh
l have known the region about Frankfort
street since l first came to New York, a quarter
of a century ago. Then French's Hotel was con-
sidered by some strangers a very remarkable
hosiery. Horace Greeley was known to stop
there, 1 recollect going into the restaurant,
which | think was in the rear. on one occasion.
and l saw on the bill Of fare the words, Porter
house steak, 70 cents" 1 thought to myself,
what can a porterhouse steak bel knew por-
ter, of course, but not porterhouse. So
[ ordered a porterhouse steak. 1t came
along. and was q long sort of thing,
with a rib at the end, and a part of the
same rib reaching down the middle, and it was
so good that ] looked up at the waiter to sec if
he suspected me of never having eaten one of
those things before. There was a queer look
about his face. but any look at that time would
have seemed queer to me, so | said with con
fdence: Bring me some Of your best porter. =
Having concluded my meal and observing on the
walters countenance after he had been mildly
feed that nothing was wrong. it occurred to me
as | passed OUT that perhaps had gone through
one of the great days of my life l had eaten at
French's Hotel a porter-house steak, and the true
significance of the place and the steak was I'M
known to me departing.

QUEEN VICTORIA.
Mr.. Edward Hine Proclaims Her Descent
from King David

from King David.
Boston Herald.
There was an attendance of twenty-three per-
sons at the Hawthorne rooms last night to hear
Mr. Edward Hine on Queen Victoria's Descent
from King David" The lecturer began to speak
at 7;45, but did not approach the subject on his
lecture until nearly an hour had elapsed, his OBJ
servations being devoted during the whole of
that time to a resume of his first lecture, and to
general and discursive expositions of a theory by
which he endeavored TO show the identity of the
Anglo Saxon race with the lost tribes of Is
rael." The new NATTER introduced included
the novel statement that the last syllable of
Isaac corresponds with the first of Saxon, and
that consequently the Saxons are the sons or
descendants of Isaac. Coming at last to
speak of Queen Victoria, Mr.. Hine boldly as
serted her descent in a direct line from David and
Zedekiah, through a certain princess landing in
Ireland. Zedekiah's descendant, and thence by
way of Feargus /, of Scotland, and James I, of
England. The lecturer added that Queen Vic
toria was a believer in her descent from the
royal psalmist. He narrated how she had been
heard to say. in reference to the return of Israel,
whenever Mr.. Hines time came for the trans
fer of her Parliament to Palestine, she would be
only too happy Mr.. Hine also told the story,
communicated by one of his friends, of a con
versation with the Queen on the subject, at the
close of which two footmen were represented as
bringing in q jeweled scroll of costly workman
ship, and the Queen, unrolling it, as saying:
''Tt.ra is my lineage from King David, and, in
my own impression, not a link is missing" The
audience listened, as on the first occasion, in pro-
found silence to AIR. Hines expositlons, and as
silently took their departure.
