Miss OR MRs.-A correspondent of the
New York World propounds the following
question:
There has arisen considerable discussion
between myself and others regarding the
propriety of using Miss or Mrs. before the
maiden name of grace widow who has
dropped the name of her divorced husband.
The World answers:
The title ''mistress" abbreviated Mrs has
no connection with marriage. 1t is the
rightful title of any woman who governs a
home, and is properly applied by courtesy,
to all women married or single. Miss is the
diminutive of mistress and is applied prop
erly to little girls under ten years old:
Girls over that age are Mrs. by courtesy, II
not by right Mr.. means master, Mrs.
means mistress. AS young boy is Mr.. by
courtesy, even if not master of house, SO
the young lady is Mrs. by courtesy, if not
by right. In the present case, the woman,
having been the mistress of a house and
being over ten years old, cannot she'd her
title of Mrs.

DIxON,S COLORED DAUGHTER.

The will of David Dixon, in which he left
S5OO,O00 to his daughter, q mulatto, is Great
ing wide interest at Sparta. Ga, the late
home of the eccentric testator. The woman,
Fannie Eubanks, is living in good style, in
Augusta. Mr.. Dixon, years ago, offered
S25,0OO to any respectable white man who
would marry her. A young man named
Eubanks, a graduate of the University OF
Georgia, accepted Mr.. Dixon's proposition,
and took the girl North, and they were mar
ried in Boston. He brought certificate
from that place showing that they were le-
gally married. Eubanks brought her home
and was we'll provided for on one of Dixon's
plantations. He lived with his dusky bride
several years, raising two children by her:
Eubanks died several years ago, and lett
Fannie dashing widow.
Mr.. Dixon took her and her two children
back to his home, where they lived until he
had fine house built for them near his own,
and there Fannie Eubanks and her mother
lived until Dixon's death. He made his
will and then sent for the family to come
down to his house, together with other wit
nesses, and informed them that he had made
his will, that no one but his lawyer and
himself knew what was in it, and that ne
wanted them all to witness his signature.
After signing the document and having 1T
properly witnessed, he said that after his
death it would be asserted that he was not
of sound mind, and he wanted them to test
him and see if his mind was clear. =.
After his death his vault was opened. 4
package of $25, 900 in stocks and bonds was
found with the name of the mother OF Fan
ME Eubanks written on it as its owner.
This amount was not mentioned in the will
in any manner, and the 900 was turned
over to the woman by the executors. 1t is
asserted by some that the will ought to be
broken on account of Mr.. Dixon having ad-
vanced to his brother $4,000 and taking a
mortgage on his land to secure the money.
His brother paid the debt, but failed to have
the mortgage Cancelled, and died without
ever taking up the paper. AS soon as he
died Dixon came in with the mortgage and
took the land for debt. Itis also asserted
that Dixon had no right to give this mulat-
to woman, although she was his child, his
landed estate, amounting to 1900 acres OF
the best land in middle Georgia, as it will
iniure those owning lands adjoining.
The mother of Fannie Eubanks is very
quiet, inoffensive woman, and when any OF
Mr.. Dixon's friends visited him she would
wait on his guests, and never put herself
forward. She always seemed to recognize
the fact that she was servant. She would
often visit Sparta to trade, and some of Mr..
Dixon's friends, to whom she would bring
things from the plantation, would invite her
to dinner. She would always prefer having
her dinner sent to the kitchen, where she
would eat with the servants.

The DEACoN's DoG.-A good story is told
of the presence of mind of a New Hamp-
shire deacon who was very fond of dogs:
He had one valuable setter that he had
trained himself, and that understood his
every word and slightest gesture with an
almost human intelligence. One evening
at prayer meeting the good man was Of
fering an earnest eXhortatiOn and the peo-
pie sat with bowed heads, giving earnest
attention. The audience faced the stand
where sat the pastor; the doors opened on
either side. All at once one OF the doors,
which had been left ajar, was pushed open,
and the handsome head of the deacon's ia
vorite thrust in. The head was followed by
the body, and the dog in toto had just
started with joyful bound toward its mas
ter. The deacon generally knew what was
going on about him, whether he was pray
ing or shooting, and the first movement OF
the intruder attracted his attention. Quick
as flash. the deacon, raising his head with
q warning gesture exclaimed: "Thou hast
given US our charge; help US to keep it.
At the emphasized word so well known to
his canine ear, the handsome brute stopped
as if shot on the very threshold of the door,
with his intelligent eye fixed upon his mas
ter. In the same unmoved tone, with a
slight wave of the extended hand: 1--WE
would not return back to Thee with our
duty on earth unfulflled." Again the per-
feet training of the deacon's pet was made
evident, for, without a whimper, he turned
as noiselessly as he had entered, and re-
mained quietly outside until the master ap-
peared.
