New England Humor.

At the annual dinner of the New England So
ciety, in New York, Hon. Chauncey M. Depew
said:
One of the most eminent of New England di
vines, himself the son of Puritan clergyman,
told me that when a boy he heard the deaeons at
his fathers house discussing the merits of their
respective ministers. After many had spoken
one old elder said: ''Waal, our minister gives
so much attention to his farm and orchard
that we get pretty poor sermons, but he is
mighty movin' in prayer in caterpillar and
canker-worm time"
Judge Pratt, of Brooklyn, remarked When
the president informed me that must state the
reason why was here with this badge on my
coat, l felt that was precisely in the condition
I am going to tell you true story-of young
gentleman in Brooklyn who was called upon to
mourn the loss of his wife. When the under
taker at last told him that the arrangements
were such that he would have to ride to the
grave in a carriage with bis law, and
finding that there was no possible method
by which he could avoid it, he finally said land the

Of an iron egg in the Berlin Museum the fol-
lowing story is told: Many years ago prince
became afianced to lovely princess. to whom he
monial of his affection In due time the messen-
ger arrived bringing the promised gift which
proved to be an iron egg. The princess was so
angry to think that the prince should send her
so valuless present that she threw it upon the
floor. when the iron egg opened, disclosing sill
yer lining Surprised at such a discovery, she
took the egg in her hand and while examining
it closely discovered a secret spring, which she
touched and the silver lining opened, disclosing
a golden yoke. Examining it closely, she found
another spring which, when opened, disclosed
within the golden yoke a ruby crown. Subject
ing that to an examination, she touched spring,
and forth came the diamond ring with which
he afianced her to himself

THE ENGAGEMENT OFF.
Despair in Mansion Near Our Public
Garden.
Boston Letter in Albany Journal.


Boston Letter in Albany journal.
A young lady of good position recently became
engaged to young man whose name is not Dob
bin, though he is so precisely like the individual
who affectioned Amelia it ought to be. Some
days after the engagement was made public he
called, as was his custom, on his bethrothed, and
was admitted by a servant. who was delayed by
a messenger with parcel from announcing him
Immediately. Dobbin stepped behind the heavy
drapery to look at blooming chrysanthemum
in the bay window waiting patiently. just then
the bell rang again and another gentleman was
admitted, and the fair bethrothed instantly en-
1t might have been bashfulness, it might
have been some other reason; but at
any rate Dobbn paused a fatal moment before
presenting himself There was q warm kiss;
then gentleman asked impetuously if the news
of the engagement that he had heard only that
day was true. Yes it was awfu,ly true, said
the betrothed Of Dobbin, though he was the only
man she loved, and though she still wore his
ring given her before he went away 'But papa
has lost everything, and [ had to take" 'Whau
all his fortuneP asked the visitor anxiously.
''Yes, everything" swell, am very sorry;
don't cry" etc. mo, mustn't make my eyes
red, for | expect him every moment and he is
our only hope" Whereupon, so the gossips say,
No departed, leaving No. to settle up mat
ters with his fances But Dobbn seized tho
opportunity while his beloved returned to her
room to battle her eyes to make good his escape
as well, and now there is broken engagement
and despair generally in a mansion not hun
bred miles from the Public Garden So few girls
here got engaged this autumn, it is terrible to
break to pieces an engagement actually accom-
plished, but this is the misery of being found
out; and, alas, she never intended that should
happen.

CONGRESSIONAL HEADS.
The Oranial Pecu1iarities of Representative
Great Men.

New York Graphic.
William Walter Phelps bangs his hair and
wears fashy neckties. His head is deceiving.
Game the Mormon delegate looks like Young
Presby terian elder, and his face is light, sharp
and businesslike
Calamity Weller looks as though he had just
jumped from bed, and his sharp, lynx eyed fea-
lures are those of the typical crank.
The heads of Lyman, of Massachusetts; Rice,
of Massachusetts, and Hunt, of Louisiana
shine as though they were vanished delicate
pink.
S J. Randals head is prominent from the
heaviness and strength of the lower Jaw.
Pugnacity is written in every feature and its
specialized eyes make one think of a German
Congressman Lawrence of Pennsylvania, who
looks like George Washington, might have bor-
rowed his head from the picture of the signing
of the Declaration in the Rotunda
Ex-Governor Long. of Massachusetts, has a
big round head on a short body. He looks
larger sitting down than standing. He parts
his thin hair in the middle and dresses with
great taste.
Senator Lamar the finest scholar of the sena-
torial body has neck like horse, aud his gray
hair flows down upon it like NAME His eyes
are sleepy, and it is said by a correspondent that
he eats opium.
Ex-Speaker Keifer and Frank Hiscock have
big heads covered with thick thatch of iron
gray. Both Of them have long full boards, and
both have the same cast of features. Hiscock's
complexion is, however, dark. and that of
Keifer's light Mr. Keifers hair is fast growing
gray.
Tom Reed has q curious head writes cor
respondent 1T is a cross between that of
Diekens's fat boy and that of the Chinese giant.
1t is joined to broad, STOPPING shoulders with
neck like a wafer. Its Chinese eyes are cut
almost aslant, its mouth wears pugnaGous air,
the TOD of its head is bald and half dozen thin
red hairs are combed carefully over it,"
Speaker Carlisle has larger face than Ran
dall's, and it is like his form, thinner than that
of the great little man of Pennsylvania Its
jaws are square and heavy, its complexion q
sickly sallow, and it's eyes slnken. Still one
would pick it out in crowd as the representa-
tive of powerful mind, and this head contains
one of the best dgested collections of fact and
figure of any Of those 300 sitting in the House
chamber.

Tao fish are always harpooned from the end of
the uowsprt of a sailing vessel All vessels
with AN apparatus for the support of the har-
poooner, which consists of wooden platform
about two feet square, upon which the harpooner
stands. and an upright bar of iron three feet
high rising from the tip of the bowsprit just IN
front of this platform. At the top of this bar is
a bow of iron in nearly circular form to sur
round the waist OF the harpooner. This struct-
ure is called the rest" the pulpit" A man
is always stationed at the mast head, whence.
with the keen eye which practice has given
him, he easily descry the
tell-tale dorsal fins at distance Of
two or three miles When fish has been
SIGHTED the watch sings out" and the vessel Is
steered directly towards it, The skipper takes
his place in the pulpit, holding the harpoon with
both hands by the upper end, and directing the
man at the wheel by voice and gesture how to
steer. When the fish is from six to ten feet in
front of the vessel it is struck The harpoon is
not throwni the strong arm of the harpooner
punches the dart into the back of the fish beside
the dorsal fin, and the pole is Withdrawn.
The line is from so to $50 fathoms long, and
the end is either made fast on board the smack
or attached TO a keg or some other form of buoy
and thrown overheard After the fish has ex-
hausted himself by dragging the buoy through
the water it is picked up, the fish is hauled
alongside and killed with lance. In the me6n-
time several other fish may have been struck

Sore Throat.
New York Correspondence Boston journal.
On damp, chilly afternoon, this week, was
in Central Park restaurant. simultaneously
two other riders sought the same staircase from
the wet diversion. They were Nicolini and his
famous Patti; and you are wondering what the
great singer could have done to present her in a
new phi ase, considering how many columns have
been filed with descriptions of her personality.
The fresh point which this view enables me to
make concerning the only woman in the world
whose wages are thousands of dollars per day
was the care which she took to keep herself
from damage. Without her voice Patti would
he handsome little matron of forty, but of no
public value. Therefore. her very consequen-
tial throat was wrapped round and round
with a silk scarf, which she removed on getting
into the house. On the way from the
carriage she had held a handkerchief to her
mouth on saying something, so that no raw air
should reach her vocal organs. Her feet were in
arctic overshoes, her ankles in baby like leggns.
and her mantle enveloped her figure from neck
to hem. But the oldest protection against
catching cold was a wad of cotton in each ear
''She must have had earache," 1 said to
physician who makes speciality of throat dis
cases. who has some of the grand opera singers
for patients, and of whom l subsequently, in
qured on the subject
mot at ALL" he replied; i'she seldom goes out
of doors in winter without plugging her ears.
1t is a strange fact that the vocal cords are sus-
ceptible to the slightest chill entering through
aural passages There isn't any affeetation in Pat
tbs extraordinary precautions. You wouldn't mar
vel at the fiddler who owned an old treasure of
violin and carried it in cotton for fear of break
age. Isn't it sensible then. for a prima donna to
guard jealousy the only voice she's gotl'
l judge, however, that PATHS stomach is
composed of sterner and not less able stuff. for
the beafsteak and onions which she washed
down through her rarely sensitive throat with
bottle OF ale, were astonishing in quantity.

There are six shelves in the vault, three of them

MAJOR-MoATEE: On Tuesday
eve, Feb. 9Th, Mr.. j. Hop Major was
blessed with the privilege of leading
Miss Nora McAtce, the reigning belle
and beauty of Canton, TO the hymcne-
al altar The bride was attired in Il
beautiful rose cOlored satin, hand
somely trimmed with elegant white
duchess lace, with ornaments of dia-
inonds and gold. The attendants were
Mr.. Sam Boyd with Miss Florence
Chappell, all accomplished aud anna
bic Young lady Of Cadiz; Mr.. Win
Malone with Miss Sudic IIopson, one
Of Canton's most attractive bellies ;
Mr.. VIM. Brandon with Miss Daisy
IIopson, Of Canton, young lady of
rare beauty; Mr. Morgan Iopson

ing Springs, one of Trigg's lovclicst
daughters; Mr.. Forrest McAtee, with
Miss Vic Mcacham, Of Bcllevicw, a
representative Of Christian county's
Young ladies; Mr.. j. Parrish Meach-
am with Miss Alice McAtee, of Blue

cct of uniperal comment.
The bridesmaids all wore pink
nuns yelling trimmed with point
lace and satin, with ornaments of
diamonds and gold. The groom and
his attendants were all neatly attircd
in the conventional black.
The ceremony was pronounced by
Rev. A. w. Meacham, at the church
in Canton, in the presence of large
number of friends Of the parties.
After which the bridal party re-
paired to the residence of Mr. /. r.

excellent supper which Mrs. Wallis

Furgus,n as the Dude.

On next Monday night, the 18th
inst, Mr.. W. j. Furguson, who was
the original "Pittacus Green" in
"llazel Kirke," will appear at the
Opera House in his pcrsonation of
the New York Dude.
The New York News says: THE
character of the "Dudc' in the new
comedy-drama, "a Friendly Tip"
drew Il packed house at the Twenty
third street theatre last evening, Mr..
W. j, Furguson played Sir Chauncy
Trip, the "Dude." From the mo-
ment Of his appearance on the stage
he captured the audience. His make
up was excellent and his gait aud
manner created roars Of laughter.
The actor does not in the least carl
cature the creature known as the
"Dudc," but gives a truthful, though
very comical, portraiture OF this
class of the genus homo. While Mr.,
Furguson's Sir Chauncy Trip is i'm
mensely funny, shouts of laughter
following his every action, it is
thoroughly artistic and natural and
appeals as well to the higher sense of
the ludicrous n to that which catches
the eye by its grotesqueness. His
drunken scene is one of the ncatcst as
well as The most laughable things
seen in long time. When he swal-
lowed tack in place ola Glove the
applause was uproarious, and he was
called before the curtain three times
at the end of the act. Sir Chauncey's
wheedling McShlrley for drink, and
his sudden disappearance down a
coal hole in the pavement was very
funny, as was also his social glass
with the bogus minister. Mr.. Fur
guson's pcrsonation of Sir Chauncy
Trip at once takes rank with such
parts as Bardwell Slote, Col. Sellers
and Sam'l of Posen."
