Damask and Her Cats.
New Haven ke,i,,rr.


 Down in deep green valley that is fringed with elms and gnarled apple trees and IS fragrant with its wealth of wild flowers pceping forth from under a grove of old poplars at the foot of steep rocky hill, over which the highway above North Bradford writhes like an uneasy serpent, IS the home of Damask Rose. It was the home of her father and of her fathers father, and il has weathered the scorch- ing bla.ts and icy winds of one hundred and forty tough New England years. Damask does not live in il now, but in a little trim white cot which looks askance at the passer from behind wing of the old Rose residence. Her fathers family was once the larges, and most social in the roundabout country, and the Rose mansion was then much resorted to by the young bellies and beaux. And now all are gone. All are dead save Damask Damask and her cat alone rem ain. A New Haven gentleman told the reporter that this lonely old woman with the blush rose name had one hundred and twenty seven cats.

 When the reporter began to talk about the cats Miss Rose eyed him suspici>usly, but upon other subjects her conversation was cheery and entertaining.

Never had any man such a sense of the inexhaustibleness of nature and of hope as did Emerson. His abiding word for all his readers is that the qualities which benefit them is cheerfulness, courage and the endeavor to realize their aspirations One can hardly overrate the importance and the value of holding on 10 hope and cheerfulness. This teaching alone gives to Emerson's work an estim ble virtue.
 The scope and upshot of Emerson's teaching is truth. The guiding genius Is his moral sense. It has been said that Emerson in his writings is too sanguine !; that the present generation is not going to turn out as we'll as he hoped. It is very likely that he was too sanguine as to the near future. Possibly the next few generations may prove to be un- worthy of his high hopes. But time will demonstrate the ,ruthfulness of his gem tie theories. By the conviction that in the life and hope of the spirit is happi- ness. Emerson was truly great. Franklin and Emerson are the most distinctly and honorably American of any of the writers that this couatry has produced. They are the most original and valuable.

Daniel Webster's Memory.

Daniel Webster paid a visit to Detroit and was given a reception by the eitzens at the old National hotel " was about twenty-sx years old. said MT. Burns, " and had just risen to the distinction of being in business for my self. For that reason, suppose, al all events know no other cause, was in- vited to be privately introduced. with d lot of other young business men. to NIT. Web ,ter
 Well. sir, went fully impressed with the greatness of Mir. Webster. and, l con fess, somewhat elated over the honor thus accorded me. We all assembled in the parlor. fifteen or twenty in number. Pres ently Mir. Webster entered the room, and we were introduced. 4 social, general cha, of perhaps half an hour followed. Mir. Webster talking all over the room and with no one in particular, after which we took our leave. The remarkable feat are which impressed me was the fact th At NIT. Webster, who had met fifteen or eighteen ordinary young men for the first tune, and that in a general way, called us all by name and without hesitation or mistake as we took our leave.
 we heard that memory of names was one of Daniel Websler's strong points. '
 But the story isn't finished. said MT Burns, Four years later 1 was in New York buying goods. had no, seen or hardly thought of MT.

So with how do you do, Mir. Webster stepped to his side.
 Turning slightly and half stopping in his walk, he looked intently into my face an instant and said: Why, how do you do. Mir. Burnss I'm glad to see you. sir. And so we walked together up to the As tor house. l actually believe he inquired after every man he met at his Detroit re- cep,ion, and that he called each man by name. as though they were his intimate friends. From that hou knew the value of good memory, and from that hour began to cultivate my own"

the Filthy Pool.

History OF Man Who Tackled
the Filthy Pool.
In the humble village Of Barey-
vile Mr.. Boggs was but little
known. He minded his business.
earned good living and paid his
debts. He had o desire to become
great man in small town. So
he sold out, packed up his traps
and came West to gobble up the
country. He had heard that any
d fool can come West, get
elected to Congress and become
great. He struck Nevada with S1O,-
600, cash, a sum accumulated by
minding his own business in New
jersey. He settled down but found
no special opening for a new pcli-
tician, so he started up his business
and concluded to wait spell until
he saw how the land lay. He be-
came interesed in county primary
and spent twelve dollars and half
to help get up mass meeting. the
expenses of said meeting being thir-
teen dollars. The boss Of the Sec
ond ward paid the fifty cents that
Bnggs didn't. The boss took him
under his wing and also let him i'll
(for about $500 on the inside of
the primary fight. Boggs was
delegate and was told that he had
packed the ticket through. The
boss packed the convention, and
Boggs was allowed to name
County Commissioner who, sfter
election, was always in the minor
itv and never able to give Boggs
a single contract for Furnishing sup
plies.
Boggs got considerable glory,
however, out of what he did for the
party and was allowed to take
hand in the Fall campaign and put
up more money. Boogs began to
carry the county on his shoulders,
and got so excited that he vowed a
certain ticket should be elected if it
cost him thousand dollars. He
spent his money like lite man
and after election he wanted a
friend of his appointed as deputy
and found that the place was al
ready filled. His activity in poll
tics got so many people down on
him that he began to loose business
hand over fist and t he strangest part
of the thing was that these whom
he assisted never went out Of the
way to patronize his store. The
impression that he was a great pol
itical leader held such entire pos
eession of him that he was busy
organizing new parties every
month and after taking an active
part in two campaigns, discovered
that while he was working aid
sweating like a quarter-horse and
tempting bankruptcy by his work,
the fellows who never spenta quarter
or even hurrahed when the process
sion passed were getting all the
Offices and making him laughing
stock. He figured up one day that
he had sunk every cent he had
brought to the State in trying to |
NEEDLE with things which could
not possibly benefit himself and
was about as near ruined as he |
could be. This is no fancy sketch
but is the history of hundreds of
well meaning bnt foolish men who
have attempted to run their own
business and dabb'e in politics at
the same time. |

In the second round soma lodging

and he wound up the bout with the
hooors. The wind up was series
of heavy fAcers which resounaed
over the building Ike the blows of
fail, Gillespie facing the work
and never pausing moment under
the sledge-hammer blows of his
burly antagonist. When the men
retired there was a shout Of appro-
baton from all quarters.
sLADE AND MCCOY.
Next appeared and Mccoy being
about half the size of his New Tea
land antagonist. Mccoy opened
with singer on SHADES Jaw and
got swinging blow along side
the ear in return. Some rapid ex-
changes followed but the science
was not noticeable, neither paying
much attention to stepping the
others lea3s. In the second ronnd
the work WAS much better. Nc
Coy's lightning sparring calling
forth applause. Slade contented
himself with receiving the blows
and exchanging heavy counters on
the others ribs and face. After
three rattling rounds came the
wind up with Mccoy climbing all
over the giant but making no i'm
preston to speak Of, although the
blows would have knocked an ordi-
nary man into the orchestra. Slade
used his right very carefully as
his finger was sore.
GILLESPIE AND MCCOY
now took the stage amid rounds of
applause as they were more
nearly matched and scientific than
any two that had appeared together
They spared continuously and
after several leads were cleverally
stopped. Giliispie got to McCoy's
face with u singer and then fol-
lowed a rally of short arm deliver
les which was vastly appreciated by
the crowd.
The second round showed some
rushingwork where both men work
ed as if a thousand dollars was up,
and the audience yelledlike Conan
che Indians when the master OF GER
monies parted them.
When the wind up came the men
attempted to knock each out and
when they were parted their bodies
looked like boiled Holsters.
SULLIVAN AND sLADE.
A shout went up when Sullivan
came on. SHADES chest looked like
a child's alongside of his. The
under his shoulder blades
stood out almost like deform;ties,
and his arms swelled with power.
His right hand ives disabled and he
did his work almost solely with his
left AT the word he boundedat Slade
like panther and crashed him up
against the scenery with his left.
The exchanges were terrific and at
times Sullivan bounded in the air
like cat delivering his blow be-
fore he reached the boards. When
the work got hot he rushed the
Maori and pressed him back with
ease raining volleys of crashing left
band blows that came like a hurri-
cane. When the wind up was fin
ished Sullivan exhibited his game
hand to the audience and it looked |
like swollen Westphalia ham. He
stated that he was saving it for San
Francisco. Tonight Sam Shell |
