Nellie Grants Unlappiness,

The American papers state, l see,
that Mrs. Nellie Grant Sartoris is
talking of returning to the United
States to reside. hardly think that
she has found England a pleasant
dwelling place. Her first impressions
were formed vi hen she visited Europe
as the daughter of the President ofthe
United States, and she was, in conse-
quence, caressed and feted wherever
she went. On her return as Mrs. AL.
gernon Sartoris she found things by
no means as brilliant and agreeable.
She had been wild to return to Lon
don, where she had been so superbly
entertained, but London to Mrs. Sar-
toris was not what it had been to
Nellie Grant. In the first place her
father was no longer the President of
the United States and our "Republi-
can Princess" as she used to becalled,
was princess no longer, nor was she
welcomed and worshippcd as such.
Secondly, she had a mother-in-law-a
lady who was born Kcmble. IL fact
that implies much. 1t is true that the
elder Mrs. Sartoris did not survive her
sons marriage many years, but after
her death her inconsolnble widower
retired to strict seclusion on his coun-
try estates, taking with lin his son
and daughter-in-law and their chill
dren. Such all existence can hardly
have been very exh,larating or enjoy

to one whose girlhood had been pass
ed at the White House as the leading
young lady of American soci,ty,

What Sporting Mon Relx on.


When Lewis r. Redmond tho South
Carolina moonshiner, ornered, after
for eight years eluding thegpvernment
officials, was asked to surrender, he
exclaimed:
"Never, to men who fire at my back"
Before he was taken, five bullets had
gone clear through him, but strange to
relate, he got well, in the hands of q
rude backwoods nurse"
By the way, if Garfield had been in
the hands of q backwoods nurse, he
might have lived. A heap of volun-
teer testimony against the infallibility
ofthe physicians has been accommodating
oflate, and people are encouraged to do
their own doctoring more and more.
1t is cheaper and quite as certain.
Before Detective Curtin of Buffalo
caught Tom Ballard he covered
him with his revolver. Tom saw the
point and tumbled!
Joe Gross was covered" few
weeks ago and he tumbled,
and so did Dan Mace. Death
fetched emu with that dread
ed weapon-kidney disease. But they
should have been lively and drawn
first. They could easily have disarm-
ed the monster had they covered him
with that dead shot-Nvarner's safe
cure, which, drawn promptly, always
takes the prey. 1t is doubtless true
that sporting men dread this enemy
more than any mishap of their profess
sion, and presumably this explains
why they as u rule are SO partial to
that celebrated dead shot,
Redmond was right. No man
should surrender when attacked in
the back. He should t'draw' face
about and proceed to the defence, for
such attacks, so common among all
classes; will fetch Il man every time
unless covered by that wonder
fully successful dead shot. Sports

These eyes shall miss thee many a year,
But unforgotten every charm,

Sweetheart, good-by! one last embrace!
Oh, cruel Fate, true souls to sever!
Yet in this hearts most sacred place
Thou, thou alone, shalt dwell forever!
And still shall rccolcctions trace
In Fancy's mirror, ever near,
Each smile, each tear, that form, that face,
Though lost to sight, to memory dear.

Fresh Air For The Brain.

A physician noted for his skill in
curing nerve diseases almost invaria-
bly, separates the patient from her
family, her old nurses, and the famil-
lar, anxious, sympathizing circle of
friends, and places her in u cheerful
atmosphere, among new faces and
scenes, where she no longer can believe
herself the centre of the universe.
"rhere is Il certain healthy, helpful
influence which naturally comes from
human beings to each other" he said,
lately, while speaking of one of his
patients. "This woman has drained
all which her friends had to give years
ago. We need occasionally IL fresh
moral and mental atmosphere, just
as much us fresh material air to
Breathe"
Another physician, visiting in a
country house where the mother Ia

woman, who lived but for her husband
and children) lay i'll, with no disease
apparently but extreme weakness and
WEAKNESS, ordered her to 20 to the

solute idleness, mixing as often as
possible with crowds of people who
were interested and excited, at church,
ut concerts, even in public meetings.

trived to sway large numbers of men
to his will. First he answered. Il

other. Leave no empty benches be-
tween your audience. The electric
spark will not pass across a gap from
one man to the other.'"

there is a solid basis of truth under
them all. Physicians usually bring all

Handwriting women in the lonely
farms or isolated villages ofthis coun-
try often find themselves growing
irritable and nervous, and even
troubled with religious doubts, in spite
OF their fervent prayers. They do not
need tones or moral discipline. They
need friction with unfamiliar minds,
new ideas, novel scenes, Just as their
lungs, after using up all the oxygen
i'll a close room, need the air out OF
doors.
Young girls are too apt, voluntarily,
to force themselves into this state:
disappointed in their acknowledgements
for congenial companion, they re-
solve to live alnoe, and shut them
selves into their own souls. The re.
