ALENTEN COMPROMISE.
How Mrs. TOpnOody Proposed to Begin a
Christian Life-Her Husbands Dieust,


Christian Life-Her Husbands Disust.
Merchant Trageler.
Mr.. TOpnoody was quite hilarious when
ne came home, Tuesday evening, and 60
ing into the kitchen, he smiled gavly AT
his wife and said:
''My dear, it had not occurred to me be-
fore, but why is this week like our UNI
brella ?''
Il don't know, I'm sure"
'Ha, ha, my dear, because it's Lentlv
"Y0u don't mean to say, TOpnOodv, that
you've gone and lent that umbrella again,
do yOu?" she snapped out, regardless Of
the venerable cOnundrum her husband
had launched at her.
"DOn't fly up that way, my dear: it's
only joke. Besides, in the Lenten sea-
son you should forego your usual plea
sure, and not be quite so high tempered"
Don talk to me, TopnoOdy, about tenn
per. haven't got half as much as you
have"
"Of course not, love. You've been Civ
ing your temper to me so long, that |
sometimes think the supply ought to be
nearly exhausted"
'There you go again, Topnoodyl You
are always finding fault and trying to
make me unhappy"
''Forgive me, my dear. But really,
now, don't you think it right to recognize
this season, set apart for the rest Of the
soul from temptation, desires and frivoli-
ties Of the world? Don't you think that
Lent is the Sunday of the year, and that
we should observe it accordingly"
'Certainly l do. You didn't take me
for a Chicago woman, did you? Pve got
just as much religious sentiment as you
have, and if you viii agree to swear off on
beer and cigars, until Easter, I'll agree
to give I'D the strongest link that binds
me to the Old Nick, and for a season try
to be Christian"
'It's bargain, but you must tell me
what you win give up, if give up cigars
and beer"
'Well, Topnoody, it is my husband. l
feel sure if l could send him to the country
for few weeks, could be just as good
a Christian as any woman in town.
Topnoody backed out.

Henry claws Heroic Son.

do you know what killed Henry
Clay?" my. genial Kentucky story teller
asked me the other day. s'If not, will
tell you. He died of a broken heart, not
because he lost the Presidency. but his
son. Henry Clay, Jr., was his fathers
IDOL. lie was sent to West Point, where
he graduated second in his class. After
four months in the army he resinged, and
began practicing law in Lexington, living
with his father at Ashland. Not a Young
man IN kentucky promised better things
than he did. When the Mexican war
broke out he was determined to 90. His
father made no objection. and he went
out as Northumberland Of the first Ken
lucky regiment. At the battle of Buena
NlsJa, santa Anna, with $4,000 troops.
nearly overwhelmed General TAYLOR. with
about one-eighth that number. CLAY fought
hard, but, as his regiment was falling
back, shot went through both legs. He
was not nortally wounded, and three
men picked him up to convey him off the
neld. 1t soon became evident that the
MeXlcans would OVeTtake them. Save
yourselves, boys, " he said, and takinSfhe
pistol which his father had given him, he
handed it to one of the men with the
words, ''Take this, and return it to nv
father. Tell him l have no further use
for it," With that they dropped him and
ran after the retreating troops. The last
they saw of Clay he was lying on his
back, lighting squad Of MexIcans with
his sword. Next morning his BODY was
found, hacked to pieces and mutilated bv
the towards who had killed him. The
pistol came to his father, then Senator.
and, though he lived several years after,
l am convinced that he died from the
blow.

ton.
.Sl, Francisco Alta California.
Count Zacharoff has been giving me
some particulars of your life. and about
your marriage to SignOr NIcOlini. VIII
you please tell me when and where your
marriage took placer" asked an Alta re-
porter. Nine. Patti looked rather sur
prised at the question, but smiled pleas
antly as she replied: Il was married to
SignOr NicOlini privately in the Greek
Church, st. Petersburg, a few months
after my separation from the Marquis De
CauX. OF course you have read all about
that"
i have never seen this published be-
FORE
mo one has ever asked me before as
you have DONE" said Nine. Patti, quickly
interTupting, "and why should | Obtrude
my private affairs on the public, who can
have no possible interest in them that |
can imagine?"
But pardon me, Madame, the smallest
trifies relating to so distinguished a lady
as yourself, even the very dresses and
jeWelry you wear, are the cOmmOnest
topics of conversation all over the world"
Il suppose So" said the lady, smiling
"but you know people don't come to me
and ask where l buy my dresses or what
they cost, except it is reporters, and they
ask all kinds of questions"
Il have seen it often stated;that your hus-
band, SignOr NicOlini, has never been d.
vorced from his former wife," said the
reporter. Nine. Patti looked amazed at
the remark and as if she was about to tell
the reporter to question Nicolini about his
own affairs, but it was only mOmentary
flush of annoyance that suffused her
expressive face and all was good nature
again, when she replied: ''Signor Nicoli-
nj did not get a divorce from his first
wife; she obtained divorce from him on
the ground of incompatibility of temper.
But, pouf, what does it all matter what
people say? The year his wife got the
divorce was 1879. l can't remember the
month. l suppose all the talk you speak
of comes from the fact that the church
does not recognize secular divorces, and
l made some effort to secure the sanction
of the Holy Father to my union"
Nine. PATHS tone indicated that she
considered the line Of questioning had
gone far enough, and the reporter, having
gained far more information than he eX-
pected. retired.

A Bit of Theatrical Scandal.
0liee Lo0an,S london Letter.

There is an actor and actress now
travelling in the United States, in separate
companies. and whose lives are now, l
believe, divided, who were installed in a
charming residence together IN London a
year or two ago. Both these creatures
were young and beautiful, and were sup
posed to be much in love With each other;
but their love was ofthat sound, practical
kind which did not allow sentiment to
stand in the way of profit. On receipt of
information from certain high quarters,
II IS SAID, the woman is wont to telegraph
her actOr-lOver at his theatre: "Dear
GeOrgy, don't come heme to-day. Ton is
coming" ''TOn' was the nickname of a
nameless admirer of great weight in
royal and political circles. And .'Georgvv
kept away.

The Anaheim Ostrich Farm.
San Francisco Alta.

Mr.. j. c. Sketcnley, proprietor of the
Anaheim ostrich farm, who has been in
this city for several days, said yesterday
in relation to the en- ;erprise:
Though the farm now has good pros
poets of becoming complete success, it
is still an experiment
1t is about eight miles out of Anaheim
and covers 200 acres. The old birds
number twenty-one, and there are eight
cen newly hatched, about six weeks old.
We do not know whether the young ones
will live or not, though they are consid-
cred out of danger when month old.
They grow rapidly. being at the age of
SIX weeks about the size ofa full grown
hen turkey.
The birds are attended by three men.
The Matching season has just begun.
have several birds sitting on from tv elve
to fifteen eggs eacn, and have large
number Of eggs in the incubator.
II the farm be successful il will
yield large profits. One half of the
ostrich feathers sent from Africa are
marketed in the United States Califor-
mia uses many feathers and, under the
best circumstances, We could not in the
next ten years meet the California de-
mand. Each bird ought to yield fifty
long, white feathers twice year. The
feathers have to be washed and curled
and then are worth from four to six dol
lars Wholesale. ! think ostrich farming
can be made to succeed anywhere south
of San Francisco, and probably in many
other parts of the State. Fresno County
would be a fine field. The greatest Can
ger 20 be avoided in raising ostriches is
cold wind. This season will demonstrate
whether the industry will be entirely
successful in California. As said. ii is
still an experiment, and though the out
look is rosy it will not do TO hold out too
much encouragement to tempt others
into the business until the probabilities
are positively settled.
