AT the same time IL speaks we'll foI the
republic that her heart should go cut
toward tue ul soldier Ia this dark and
trying hour. lL Is somewhat more
Than the gratitude Of pal Tiotism--ll IL
the sweetest OK pressiop Of human love,
and there Ia nothing swee er
than that. The people love Grant,

with the widow Of Tom Thumb pIevi.
GUS to her marriage with AN Italian
count, thus reports his interview:
Mrs. Gen. Tom Thumb Is the small-
est and most prosperous business wo-
man in the world. Since 1852 she has
been In "shuwh life.
The fatigue she has undergone would
seem impossible for so small frame
| TO endure without breaking down, yet
Mrs Thumb has seldom If ever disal-
| pUinted an audience She Is "a lltlle
woman OF sweet disposition and
| blame less Ii e, ana / am sure none OF
her larger sistcrs will grudge her the
| fortune she hAs made. Her diamonds
alone are worth $4,000, and the lnost

perfectly we.l'developed woman, with
u pretty io'm ana face; also pretty
manners and q sweet volce, ana pus-
sessed Of quite rs much Intelligence and
holding as decided opinions rs the
gentlanly Of women OF larger growth.
You see,n she said, "there Id a most
MARX difference between the we'd
ding dress ot young girl and OF a
widow, the principal difference being
that tne wlduw-bride weaTs no orange
blossoms and no veil.n
why no veil?"
III don't know unless II Is because

"There, that settles it. I'll go put it in the office toni ght.'
 Saturday comes and goes, but brings no answer to Eugene Law renee, waiting and watching fol one word. He builds high hopes in the morning, and feels sure O. success. But it is with exceeding ly heavy heart he sees the sun go down; still he does not relinguish all hope, for there may be some de lay. So he waits as patiently as he can until Monday which wears it self into night, without bringing him the welcome message. He waits one more day, hoping against hope, but to no purpose. Then he wearily packs his belongings and leaves town.
 And Rosei Lovgingly she wait' for the goodbye visit, and wonA ders much when he comes not.
 Time passes, and in the early summer Mrs. Lagrange, Rosa's mother, dies leaving Rose and her little brother Harry to the care of an uncle, in distant city. After the funeral Rose starts for her m cles's not knowing what else to do but feeling sure that she will not long remain dependent. Her fath' CT had been dead many y ears, ant it is his brother to whom she is go- ing.
 MT. Lagrange receives them cooly, and very soon makes them feel their dependence Roses is a sensitive, high strung tempera ment, and she thinks she could en dure anything better than the ..pet ty sights and sneers to which sht is daily subjected in her uncle't house. She takes a small room and obtains some sewing; the re muneration is very slight

The Washington Monument.

Thirty-six years ago the foun- dations of the Washington MOn- ument were laid on the banks of the Potomac River, and a few days ago the structure was completed. On the 22d day ofnext February the l53d anniversary of Washing tons birtk-this monument is to be dedicated with appropriate ceremo- nies. It may interest our readers to know that this great shaft of stone and marble ;s now the highest structure in the wOrld-555 feet. The great Pyramid of Egypt is 4SO feet; the tower of the Cathedral at Strsssburg, 46s feet; the spire at Landshut, Germany, 465 feet; the dome of St. Peters Cathedral, at Rome, 457 feet; the pyramid of Chephren, 454 feet; and St. Steph- ems, at Vienna, All feet. The mon ument stands on aA open space, squares away from any building. There is nothing to Obstruct the view oft from the rear Ofthe White House or the east end ofth Treas ury Building; and there is nothing between it and the Potomac River The monument stands as one of the greatest orks of man. It cost Sl, 13O, ,OOO-S230, ,00O by the monument society and s9OO,00O by appropria- ton of Congress. Within the Obe- fisk the wall being verticaD is an el evator and stairway to the top, to be fitted up for visitors after the workmen finish. From the top of the wall of the obelisk to the bottom are 900 steps, about twenty minutes being required to make the descent. The monument was built from the height of t50 feet to 555 feet of marble, from quarries in Baltimore county, Md, between the dates of Angst Fl st 1880, and September 14th, 1884. The name and fame of our illustriOus "Father ofhis country is thus illustrated in a fitting monument land as said above the loft. est in the world) that will stand fOI centuries to come. All Americans should and do feel a just pride ii the successful completion of this grand structure.
