pressed bis detestation OF what he

friendship for Stanton under all
circumstances, Snd while | regret
ted the course adopted 10y the See

President johnson commented me
tor my devotion to friends, aud tue
subject OF the assassination was
never Observation-Disclosures bet ween
him and myself. The great war
secretary OF the union was no
longer in power. He was "a plain
citizen of our Republic, broken
in health aud ~tottering between

The Republican leaders had, af.
ter much pleading, induced Presi-
dent Graut to name Mr.. Stanton
for a judge Of the supreme court.
The Senate promptly confirmed the
nomination, but Grant, for some
reason best known to himself, did
not put his signature to the com.
mission, or if he did sigu the COM

DUST AND ASHES.

She practiced on him all her wiles
Till in loves silken net she cauhgt him,
And showered. on him her sweetest smiles
When to her feet she captive brought him.
But when he pleaded with the maid
To be regarded as her lover,
She sighed little, blushed and said,
please wait until the summers over. -
And then began loves golden dream
To every picnic, every dance he
Took her, bought her lemon cream
And other things that maidens fancy.
At beach hotels with her he hoped,
For she was quite an ardent dancer
At length the youth the question popped
And waited for the maiden's answer.
It drew the sweetness from his life,
1t burned and scorched him like a blister;
Twas this: 81 cannot be your wife,
But will be to you sister"

I observe in an American Journal
that the Princess Beatrice is a. tall,
slender young lady, with fair hair. l

ed upon to describe her should have
said q fine woman, of the middleheight
tor a woman, ard inclined to bestout.
Slim! None OF the female members OF
the royal family are that. On, to be
more precise, none OF the. blood rela-
tons OF Queen Victoria. The Prin-
cess Christian is the stoutest of the
Queens daughters, but after her l
should decidedly place Princess Be
atrice. Vulgarly fat she is not, but
she is blest with a generous figura.
She is built, if may borrow the least
sensation of nautical figure ofspeeeh,
on pleasantly rounded lines. There
is nothing angular about her comeli-
ness. as there was, before her marriage,
about that OF the late Princess Alice,
aud also about the contour contour
is good word, hope, OF the Prine
cess Louise.

Personal Gossip.

Sam Jones, the revivalist, observes:
"God won't keep young lady pious

dude"
A paper gave an account of a society
event and in speaking of one beautiful
lady. of quite large proportions, it
said! "Nlrs.- possessed % form that
q Juno might envy" The. editor went
home, and left a subordinate to get
out the paper, and the next morning
he read in his paper that "Nlrs-
possessed q form that Jumbo might
envy"
A lady in this city, who has false
tooth set on a pivot, sneezed it out
the either day while feeding chickens.
An old hen thought it a grain OF corn
and swallowed it as soon as it struck
the ground. After a long chase the
hen was captured, beheaded, its crop
opened, the tooth found, and restored
to the lady's mouth, where it after
wards helped to masticatethe old hen.
