will cease and this money will be saved

tariff offers every inducement for the

One of the most remarkable histori-

of the identity of the man in the iron

agent to Louis XIV. andlived in London
for fourteen years. He was . hand
some man, of ratheS efeminate appear
ance, and was noticed to be very shy
of the ladies, and to avoid general So
ciety. While he was there the story
got about that he was 3 woman, and
scandal thus aroused caused King Louis
to recall his ambassador and order him
to assume his proper dress. that of .
woman. This she did. and was always
afterward known as Nine. d'Eon. A
life of this remarkable parsonage stated
that she assumed the dress of youth
in order to cur higher educational

The American Girl.

The American girl is champagny.
She is glittering. foamy. bubbly, sweet.

An Eccentric Funeral.

An old woman named Mary Robin

purple dresses. Paisley shawls, hats
with white feathers in them and white
aprons; that some money was to be
spent in drink for astronomers 1t
certain public houses she named, and
that there vas to be q band of music in
attendance, some thousands of persons
congregated in Bemerten street. where
she lived, along the Caledonian road,
and along the route to Finchley Gene
terry. The concourse Of people blocked
the streets for a time, and in some cases
persons paid for windows to see the
procession. The coffin. which was of
handsome polished oak. bore . brass
plate with the inscription. s.Mary
Robinson. aged II, died January i,
1884," 1t was reported that the corpse
was shrouded in white satin, and that
round the lead was s white wreath.

pensive wreaths and crosses. There
were in the procession, besides the rels-
tives and friends of the deceased. a
great number of pony-carts, donkey

with costermongers. The deceased. it
was said. left a sum of flO to be spent
in drinks and ten shilliHgs for pines
