A GENEROUS YOUNG MAN.

A correspondent at Eureka Springs gives the particulars of sensational de- ception which has just slipped from under cover into the sunligh, at that place. Some time ago. a rather hand some young man visited the Springs Reports of his immense wealth were soon spread around, and society clamored for the honor of entertaining him. He soon became acquainted with d beautiful young lady. daughter of well-known citizen. The old gentleman encouraged the young mans visits, eager in the acquisition of such son-in-law. and the beautiful young lady happy,in the though, that her love was approved by an in dulgent father who longed for a life of ease, threw unspairinsly her affeotiols on the wealthy stranger. One day the young man showed the old gentleman his will. He bequeathed fifteen thousand dollars as an endowment fund of school m the west. twenty thousand dollars to charity hospital. six thousand to the poor of Eureka Springs, and seventy five thousand to his wife, if he should be so fortunate as to have one al the time of his death. The old gentleman was greatly pleased. and he was never so happy as when the young man was bestowing on him those little condolences which are so often denied paren, by lover
 The approaching marriage was an- nounced. Society fiuttered. The church was crowded. Everybody happy. Blissful honeymoon. Young man taken i'll. Died. The old gentleman, although he had ex- hibited proper amount of grief, did no, lese his appetite. and the young widow was not unnecessarily crushed After awhile the will was brought out and ex- amined. An investigation proved i, to be worthless. Then the old man lost his appetite and the widow was crushed. Ii was also aseer;ained that the young man mad been for several years looking for home. boarding house where weekly bills would no, be presented to him.

 Ii is hardly necessary to offer advice in this matter. The widow should bear her grief quietly and the old gentleman should regain his appetite. Marrying for money has been found to be a very un- satisfactory kind of ma,rimony. and the sooner beautiful young ladies and grasp ing parents understand this, the better i, will be for future generations.

BosToS paper says The punch bowl from which the patriots drank, at the house of samuel Edcs, during the planning of the plot for throwing the tea overheard in Bos ion harbor, was presented by his descendant, Mrs Long 10 the Boston historical society. some years ago." That settles 1t. Then, in stead of being q oi of pious patriots who vent prayerfully to work to destroy the tea of the enemy. the old duffers surrounded a punch bowl Ill they got full. Then the patri oiIe act was only common drunk. such as people indulge m now days. The patriots smply got their kegs full and went down 10 the boa, whooping. There IS a new name for l, now days.

WAYNE McNEAGH, in a recent paper on the .' Next Presidency" printed in the Century, says that American interes, in politics is rapidly declining. This fact has no doub, presented itself to even cas- ual political observers, for never in the history of this country has an approach ing presidential campaign been regarded as such matter of course Some of tn e largest political newspapers show such apathy in this matter. and take so little interest in the grand old party" that they actually devote much of their space to entertaining reading matter.
