Greelex,s Geography.

TIL following new aneedote of Horace Greeley
was recently related by a present member of the
editorial staff of the New York Tribune: There
was but one person on the paper who could and
would read his copy, and she often found it easier
to rewrite than to do otherwise. When she
came to a word whose meaning she could not
guess, when taken in connection with the re-
mainder of the article, she would leave the
word a blank. Then Mr.. Greeley, when he re-
vised the proof, would fill in the place left va
cant Once the woman came to a word which
she treated in the manner mentioned. Mr..
Greeley filled it in, if possible, more obscurely
than at first. Again the revised proof was sub
mitted to him, and again the writing grew
binder. The next time he wrote on the margin
of his proof: This word is - The error is
most grievous to me-" By long and close scru,
tiny the first syllable was found to be me"
Then by taking Worcester and looking up the
''ae's, it was surmissed to be @rihcation. This
was written in his proof. Mr.. Greeley wrote in
response: 70. K. Gratefully, H. e.

Letter in Philadelphia Press.

L5tleE IL EnlidutlpAlA q
The fact is that Mrs. Toodles's spirit has q
chance to get abnormally developed in Wash
ington. Frequent auction sales are a feature of
the life here. There are not only the occasional
sales in the case of noted people who die or
otherwise have occasion to part with their house
hold stuff, but the succession of foreign min
listers and ENJOYS Excepting always the British,
who have a permanent home gives occasion for
a dispersal of the elegant articles which they
bring with them into the country free of duty,
and sell upon their departure, generally at a
handsome profit. In the first instance men
toned there is the plea that the prudent house
keeper desires to acquire something with
historical associations about it; in the
second, there is the chance of getting slightly
ahead of the customs laws, and securing bar
gains, always dear to the feminine heart. The
result is that ladies of q higher class and more
means attend auction sales here than in other
cities, and, as some of them are inexperienced in
the actual cost of articles at first hand, they af.
ford a harvest for the auctioneers and vendors.
Following up the grand danes come the pha-
lanx of second hand dealers, who see that moth
ing valuable goes below a price that will afford
them a chance for profit, and these are rein
forced by a guerilla army of boarding and lodg-
ing house keepers, WHIT gather up the remarka-
bic remnants that confront a stranger on his
search for rooms with or without board in the
metropolis. Domestic auction sales have lost,

tons so pathetically described by Thackeray in

any feeling other than that of business, either
about attending one or having one in the house,

Ay little child comes to my knee
And Juggling pleads that he may climb
Into my lap to hearme tell
The, Christmas tale he loves 80 WE'LL
A,tale my mother told to me.
Beginning 'Once upon a time"
n Is a tale of skies that rang
With angel rhapsodies sublime;
Of that great host, serene and white,
The shepherds saw one winter night
And of the glorious stars that sang
An anthem once upon a time.
TINS story ef the hallowed years
Tells of the sacrifice sublime
Of One who prayed alone and wept
While his aweried followers slept
And how His Blood and Mary's tears
COmmingled, ones upon a time.
And now my darling at my side
And echoes of the distant ehims
Bring that sweet story back to me-
Of Bethlehem and Calvary,
And of the gentle Christ that died
For sinners, once upon a time.
The mighty deeds that men have told
In ponderous tones or fluent rhyme
Like misty shadows fade away
But this sweet story 'bides for aye.
And, like the stars that sang of old,
We sing of "Once upon a time"

Can't Abolish False Hair.


The female part Of the audience at the Ger
man theater at Prague was the other day great
ly scandalized by a ukase issued by the man
ager of the theater ordering all ladies to doff
their h~eadgear during the performance. A good
many of the ladies present refused to submit on
the plea that their couture was not "salonmas-

objection to his demand, made solely in order to
Danish the high hats and bonnets which OBJ
structed the view Of half the audience, gladly
on condition that the ladies would in future ap,
pear bareheaded. His delight, however, was
considerably modified when the next night the
ladies, who must have had a full share Of the
perversity of their sex, appeared one and all with
II luxurious growth of hair towering higher than
the discarded hats. That theater manager is
now in despair. Not even he dare dream of
abolishing false hair.

The Living Dead.

They pass me like shadows, crowds on crowds.
Dim ghosts of men that hover to and fro.
Hngging their bodies round them. like their shrouds
Wherein their souls were buried long ago,
They trampled on their youth, and faith, and love,
They cast their hope of humankind away;
With heavens clear messages they madly stroys
And conquered-and their spirits turned to clay.
L0l how they wonder round the world, their grave,
Whose ever gaping NAV by such Is fed,
Ebbsring at living men and idly rave,
"Wo ouly truly live; but We are dead"
Alas, poor fools! the Amounted eye may trace
A dead souls epitaph in every face.
