NEW HAVEN, Conn, Jan. 14-William Hale,
who died quite suddenly, was one of New Ha-
ven's best-known citizens. He was sixty years
ery-stable keeper in this city he accumulated
property valued at from $50, 900 to $1O0, 900.
Years ago he married, but his wife died, leaving
him childless. Last Friday Mr.. Hale was out
riding. Suddenly he complained of. a cold. On
Sunday evening he surprised everybody by mar
rying Miss Emma Robinson, twenty-three years
Of age, the sister of his housekeeper. On Monday
pneumonia set in, with fatal results. Unless he
left a will, which is not thought likely, half his
estate will go to his widow. The suddenness of
Mr.. Hale's marriage and the youth of his widow
have excited considerable comment, and there
are rumors that an effort will be made to prevent
her from getting any of his property.

as much as [ had, as long as I could re-
member, been perfectly able to do. I
showed him that I could beat him at

Teaching A Great Man Manners.

One of the most spirited stories in
Edmund Yates boob is that which de-
scribes his interview with Lord Stanley,
OF Alderley, then postmaster general, to
whom he had been sent with docu-
ment for his official signature. He
found the great man at home, just ar
rived from Newmarket, and was ushered
into his sublime presence. He stood on
the hearth rug in the library, with his
back to the fireplace, and on table near
by were three or four heavy leather
pouches in which official documents
were forwarded to him from the post
Office.
Gas the butler closed the door behind
me-" the narrator says, Il made the gen
tleman bow of which he took not the
slightest notice. He did not offer me a
seat, so I remained standing plante la.
"'What do you want?' was his gra-
cious query.
"I have come about the reduction of
the registration for my lord. I thought
Sir Rowland Hill had explained it in
his letter. It is necessary that your
lordship's signature
Yes, yes, / know all about that he
interrupted, I have signed the d

pouches and rummaging it. It's here
somewhere-no, that's not it. I can't
find it, but know I've signed it. Look
here, have you got cab outsider
Yes, my lord
"'Then just take those pouches back
to the Office. You'll find it when you
get there
'Whatp I cried in tone that
made my friend jump again. what, do
you expect me to carry those bags to
the cab? If you want that done, ring
your bell and tell your servant to do it.
I'm not your servant, and 7 don't carry
bags for you or any man in London
He looked petrifed, but he rang the
bell.
What's your name, sir?' he asked.
My name is Yates, my lord
Il don't like your manner, SIR he
said.
And I don't like yours, my lord
I ratified out. I came here properly in
troduced by the secretary. I made YOU
a salutation which you had not the DO
likeness to return, you have never asked
me to take seat
Wasn't ] standing myself, he inter
polated.
That's no affair of mine. Your
business as gentleman was to ask me
to be seated. And now you think I am
going to do your servants work.
"Here the servant entered and was
ordered by his master to carry off the
bags. I was preparing to follow him,
When Lord Stanley said:
"'You shall hear more of this, sir
Whenever you please, my lord I
shall be quite ready and off I went"
But he heard no more of it, and the
next messenger sent from the post-ofice
to the noble lord was greeted by him
with efusion, both his hands cordially
grasped, and he was made to stay over
to luncheon.

The Secrets of Ventriloquism.

An excellent ventriloquist is now per-
forming in our variety theaters, writes
New York correspondent of the Albany
Journal-a woman, and therefore with
out the mustache behind which most
performers in that line conceal the
slight movement of their lips. In moth
ing connected with the magical show is
there more radical humbug than in ven
triloquism. There is no such thing p1 g.
sible as throwing the voice." and all
the old stories of Wyman, or anybody
else, doing astonishing ventriloquial
feats in the middle of crowd are fic-
ton. The auditor must be at little
distance or there can be no deception.
This young woman uses manikins, cur
tains, trunk, and the other usual aids;
but her unshaded mouth is absolutely
still while she is talking. Her lips are
slightly parted, but they do not even
culver when she is singing in very

A DEAD MARCH.
BY COSMOS MoNKHoUsF.

PLAY me a march low-toned and slow a march
for silent tread,
Fit for the wandering feet of one who dreams of
Lonely-between the bones below and the souls
that are overhead.
Here for awhile they smiled and sang, alive in
the interSpace:
Here with the grass beneath the feet and the
stars above the face.
Now are their feet beneath the grass, and whittier
has flown their grace?
Who shall assure us whence they come, or tell
us the way they go?
Verify life with them was joy, and now they
have left us, woe:
Once they were not, and now they are not ana
this is the sum we know.
Orderly range the seasons due, and orderly rol
How shall we deem the soldier brave who frets
of his wounds and scars
Are we as senseless brutes that we should dash at
the well seen bars?
No, we are here with feet unfxed, but ever as If
with lead
Drawn from the orbs which shine above to the
orb on which we tread,
Down to the dust from which we came and with
which we shall mingle, dead.
No, we are here to wait, and work, and strain our
banisled eyes,
Weary and sick of soil and toll, and hungry, and
fam for skies
Far from the reach of wingless men and not to be
scaled with cries.
No, we are here to bend our necks to the yoke
of TyTant Time,
Welcoming all the gifts he gives us-glories of
youth and prime,
Patiently watching them ali depart as our heads
grow white as rhine.
Why do we mourn the days that go-for the same
sun shines each day?
Ever a spring her primrose hath, and ever a May
her may;
Sweet the rose that died last year is the rose
that is born to-day.
Do we not too return, we men, as ever the round
earth Whirls?
Never head is dimmed with gray, but another
is summed with curls.
She was a girl and he was boy, but yet there are
boys and girls.

to an unseen shore!

IT is found that canvas can be made
as impervious to moisture as leather by
sleeping in a decoction of one pound of
oak bark with fourteen pounds of boil
ing water. This quantity is sufficient
Tor eight yards of stuff. The fabric has
to soak twenty-four hours, when it is
taken out, passed through running wa
ter, and hung up to dry. The flax and
hemp fbres, in absorbing the tannin,
are better fitted to resist wear.
THERE are not SO many good plow-
men as formerly, in part, doubtless, q
result of using the sulky pillow, with
which extra skill in blowing does not
count. Another reason, probably, is
that few hired men understand the art
of setting a pillow so that it will run
easily for both team and holder. The
pillow should run level, the point neither
digging downward nor pointing up. 1t
is but the work of minute to set the
pillow right for one who understands the
business. Good blowing is an art.
A WRITER in the Mirror advises this
treatment for hard mixer: son going
to milk put pint of hot water into the
pail, and before milking, put two or
three handfu]s upon each teat as hot as
the hand will bear. After giving the
teats thorough soaking, wipe lightly
with dry cloth or strip with the hand
until there is no danger of the water
