they will be entitled General Gordons Letters
from the Crimea, the Danube and Armenia
They are interesting, both showing the close
attention which the author paid. from his first
entry into the army, to the details of his profes-
sion, and as supplying the link missing in
what may be called General Gordons autobiog
raphy down, at all events, to the Basutoland
mission. The volume will be edited and sup
piled with the necessary notes by Mr.. Demetrius
Boulger.
Mr.. Charles Liston, private secretary and ex-
ecutor of Charles Reade, is writing some
"reminiscences of the novelist for the Youths
Companion. In letter to the editors of that
paper he says: Mr.. Reade did begin the story
he had promised to write for the Youths Com
panion. The day after our arrival in London,
he dictated the first three pages, but the effort
was too much for him, and l had to lay down
my pen. The day following he became still
more feeble, and every succeeding day found
him weaker until at last, on Good Friday he
passed away without a struggle
see the English and American journals announce
that he has left an autobiography containing
numerous criticisms of his contemporaries, and
that the work will be published in the course of
the present year. This is mere guess work. Mr..
Reades literary remains consist of three parts of
his projected work, Bible Characters (Introduc-
ton, Nehemiah and JONAH, and diary, which
will have to be most carefully revised before
publication, if ever decide to publish it at all
There is more probability of my writing, either
alone or in collaboration with his nephew,
Compton Reade, a life of Charles Reade"

THE SHARON CASE.
A Stock Company Said To Be Backing Miss
Hill in Her Lawsuit.
San Francisco Special.

San Francisco Special.
Now that the Sharon case has been postponed
for six weeks, the public has become curious to
know who it is that is paying the expenses of
the prosecution. Miss Hill has five attorneys
and many other people under salary. Senator
Sharon has three attorneys, several shorthand
reporters, and half dozen spies and detectives
His expenses cannot have been less than 81, 200
day, and it is believed that the plaintiffs ex-
penses have been almost, if not quite, as heavy.
Miss Hill is not rich enough to stand any such
expenditure, and the theory most widely
accepted is that her claim has been put in the
hands of stock company, some of the mem
bers of which supply money and others
labor and time. The attorneys with one excep-
ton, are said to draw regular salaries, and have
no contingent interest in the verdict One law
yer is said to be a stakeholder, and expects like
several other persons, to be made rich if the case
should go against the Senator. There are va
rious rumors connecting several prominent peo-
pie with the syndicate, and it is pretty well
known that wealthy widow is heavily interest
ed. These people have gone into the pool just as
they would into a speculation of any kind. They
thought at first that they had a regular bonanza,
but it is intimated that they have changed their
minds to some extent since the taking of evil
dence began The assessments on stockholders
have kept up with great regularity. If the de-
cision should be against Miss Hills claim that
she is a wife, there will be one more collapsed
blind pool to add to the long record of such
affairs that have come to grief in 1884.
The sort of young woman whom an ex-United
States senator is thus fighting at an expense of
$50, 900 month, is shown by demand made on
him in her name since the trial of the divorce
case was postponed. In his cross examination
Sharon admitted that in his settlement with Miss
Hill he agreed to give her $500, to be paid in
monthly installments of $3.50. but that for some
reason he had neglected to pay the last $3.50 of
the amount The day after he left the stand
Miss Hills cousin. young man named Rodney,
presented the bill for $780, and came very near
receiving drubbing at the hands of the irate
Sharon. The youths experience was reported to
Sarah, who promptly instructed her attorneys to
bring suit for the amount, and an action was
actually begun. 1t will be pushed as soon as the
divorce case is out of the way.
Mr.. Sharon said, before leaving for the East,
that he would put Miss Hill and her hackers into
San Quentin, if it cost him another 800, 900 be-
sides the sum he has already spent in defending
himself from her in the courts.

she stood, a real English bar-maid, and a
mighty pretty one to boot. She had fair
hair and black eyes, contrast rarely seen, and
was dressed in plain black, with white collar and
cuffs, and on her well-shaped, aristocratic look

IGNORANCE ABOUT POSTAL CARDS.

Mistakes that Are Made in Using Them that
Hinder Their Usefulness.
New York Sun
''Postalcard correspondents make good many
mistakes If they knew what pile of cards are
thrown away, and why they are thrown away,
they would be more careful, said a postoftce
clerk, as epitched handful of postal cards into
the waste basket
What is the trouble with them"
Every one has something pasted on the cor
respondence side 1t is allowable to paste on the
mailing side the address of the person to whom
the card is sent, but anything pasted on the
message side renders the card unavailable. On
the mailing side there must be nothing in the
form of an advertisement"
IF pictures are drawn on the message side
will the cards be sentW
Eyes, unless the picture is of a character
which would send the artist to Sing Sing. How
ever, there is a great deal of complaint about
dunning and abusive messages. 1t is popular
ly believed that it is violation of the law to
send scurrlous epistles in this way, but 1t is
not The belief is founded on Judge Bene-
diets decision, where So, 900 fine was imposed
several years ago The law is not now in force,
and a man can abuse another to his hearts
content"
Can a postal card be returnedl"
Correspondents often try to do that but it is
against the rules of the office. To make sure,
they often stick on a one-cent stamp. That
won't work. either. If a two-cent stamp is put
on it will pass inspection. By putting on one
cent stamp, however, a postal card may be re-
mailed to the person to whom it is addressed, if
it does not find him In the first instance. One
thing about postal cards ought to be known to
poor people who have friends abroad. We have
stacks of international postal cards unused, that
may be sent to almost any city in Great Britain
or the continent. Even in the few instances
where they are used, they are apt to be sent to
the country which issues them. This is not al
lowed. They can only be sent out of the coun-
try which issues them"

Postofrice ON Mount Sinai.

London Standard.
The world moves so fast that one learns not
to be astonished at anything Still, we confess
that to hear of postoffce being established on
Mount Sinai compels us to revise our ideas re-
garding the fitness of things. The pious monks
of label Katerin have hitherto been regarded
as holy anchorites, whose minds had long ago
become weaned from the vanities of the world.
But it is evident, from their desire to share in
the somewhat qualified blessings of the Postal
Union, that they have found a continuous con-
temptation of the mountain of Moses less satisfy
ing than they had been led to expect.
