Dickens Mt Thirty.

Charles Dickens, when he first visited
Washington, in 1872, WIS just entering
his thirtieth year. He was q middle
sized. somewhat .icsly person, his hair.
which was long and dark, grew low
upon the brow, rad WAY kink where
it started from the head, and was cork
screwed as it fell on either side of his
face. His forehead retreatad gradually
from the eyes, without any marked pro-
tuberance save at Che outer angle, the
upper portion of which formed a prom
inent ridge a little within the assigned
position of the organ Of ideality. The
eyeballs completely filled their sockets.
The aperture of the lids was not large,
nor the eye uncommonly clear or
bright. but quick, moist and expressive.
The nose was slightly aquiline, the
mouth of moderate dimensions, making
no great display of the teeth, the facial
muscles occasionally drawing the upper
lip most strongly ON the left side as the
mouth opened in speaking. His feat
ures, taken together, were we'll pro
portioned.

The Yastness Of Londcn.

"Suburban residence" is common
phrase in these days, but it would be
difficult to explain the exact meaning
of the term. The suburbs of London
now extend to such distance from the
actual metropolis that their practical
limit is almost beyond the power Of
definition. The same difficulty was ex-
perienced more than century ago,
long before London had acquired it's
present bcwildcring proportions. On
the 10th of June. l777, according to the
records Of the day, "a cause of great
Importance to the inhabitants Of Old
street and parts adjacent was deter
mined in tie Court of Kings Bench.
The question was whether the messen-
ger carrying letters from the penny
posto:1ice in London had right to de-
mand OF the said inhabitants of Old
street and its vicinity penny for the
delivery of each letter over and above
the penny paid at the postotfice. The
case turned upon the description of the
suburbs of London, and whether Old
street was within that description. The
court YVES of opinion that all the streets
and houses adjoining and contiguous to
the city of London, and joining togeth-
CT by one continuous range OF houses.
must be deemed suburbs, and Conse-
quently exempt from the charge OF
penny contended for by the postot1ice
authorities. st. James Gazette.

Home Decorations.

Handsome and most effective border
ing for small tables, mantels, valances
and curtains are orna,hented by cutting
red twill out in the form of red pop
pies, appliqueI with red ingrained cot
ton, and center formed by raised
knots of crewe}s. The leaves are of
crewel; also the stalks. Another way
is to arrange few artificial popples,
as a spray or border; remove some OF
the petals so that tie flower lies toler-
ably fiat, and then applique them with
red silk, III long stitches like veins; the
stalks are done in silk, the leaves il
crewel veined with silk.
Some of the fashionable new sachets
for hollng night dresses and for the
brushes on the toilet table are arranged
III the same way. On white, dark blue,
e.-eam or gold colors these .oppies are
very effective.

one, may be made at no great expense.

Making 4 Railroad.

When the war closed one Of the Geor-
gia railroads hadn't depot or freight
house on It's line, and is rolling stock
consisted OF two old locomotives and
four fat-cars. These couldn't roll until
new ties and rails were laid, and the
outlook was dubious enough. Howev-
er, the President called meeting of
the board to see what could be done.
When he had stated the condition of
the track and equipment he added that
the company hadn't dollar in cash and
no collateral to borrow money on. He
then asked what should be done.
Il move we declare a dividend of 10
per cent?" boldly replied one of the Di-
rectOrs.
It was thunderclap which knocked
'em all down; but he followed it up by
Offering to loan the company s'32, 900 to
make the dividend, and dividend was
declared. The stock at once leaped
from 81 to so cents, and in year it
was held at 10S, and paying dividends
on that.

A teacher in grammar school, not a
thousand miles from Boston, gave an
object lesson, one morning. The sub
ject was "Acorns," and at the conclu-
sion requested each pupil to write an
abstract of it. The following, which
was handed in by a girl, not over bright,
is not only one of the curiosities OF COM
position literature, but good illustra-
tioa of the difficulties teachers meet
with in training children to shoot ideas:
There is great number of corns.
namely: the capricorn, vegetable corn,
and animal corn Animal corn grows
on the toes, but vegetable corn grows
in rows. Animal corn is very painful,
and comes from wearing tight boots. l
pity the poor farmer who has animal
corn. Acorns are very cunning to play
with, for they are like cups and saucers,
and are very nice to play with. When
/ was in the country last summer WI
used to play house with them, and tes

GEaeSIMo AGAIN.

The report that Geronimo returned to his former camping ground at Camp Apache IS confirmed On the morn ing of the 22d ultinio, lie and four other Chiricahua bucks appeared near the camp at about half past one o'clock, and when within three
 miles of their destination they seized a White Mountain squaw, who was guarding her corn field, and demand ed that she should show them tue Cbificahua catnp, which, under the circumstances, she was only too glad to dc. Arriving at tho camp she pointed out Geronimo's wife's wicki- np, whereupon the renegades laid down in the shade of an old stone wall (the moon shining brightly and while there a Chirieahua squaw re- turning from 2 camp where two per- sons were slck, was seized, and upon attempting to halloe was thrown to the ground, a gun placed at her head and was told if she did not keep quiet they would kill her. It was then that Geronimo entered his wire's habita. ton, found her asleep and jerked her and her child out of bed and left with them and the ChirlcahRa squaw, whom they captured returning from the sick camp, as silently as they entered the camp. They took the old woman whom they found in the corn field, a short distance up White river and re- leased her. Sheimmeaiately returned and gays the alarm. which caused great excitement in the Indian camp and fort. Men were immediately sent in all directions to discover 6eroHimos trial, and as soon ag practical Savia. nc, a captive Mexican, in charge of fifteen Indian scouts were started in pursuit, followed by wbite soldiers. Geronimo and bis party were well mounted and were seen twenty-five miles from Camp Apache on the Camp Thomas read, bg an ambulance driver before daylight. They were also seen at q crossing op Black river.

CORRESPONDENCE.
GloaE. Oet. '.

GIoBE, Oct. ], 1885
 EDTToR BELr: Theeattlemen of this county were not little surprised at q ruling of Judge Pinney at tho present court, in and for Gila county, VIZ: That the law approved March Eth, 1881, 'For the protection of stock raisers, is deseetive, in this, that sec ton 3, of said act tis no good and has no binding effect, It now becomes 8 matter of moment 10 parties inter- ested to know in what respect tho act is defective. The legislature which enaeted tue law was composed of in telhgeut men, ainong whom were law yers of reputed standing, The Judges decision, however, governed in the premises. The section referred to reads as follows: i,The stock raisers of each general neighborhood within the Territory shall elect a Judge of the Plains annually, who shall attend at each rodeo in such general neighbor- hood, and decide all disputes that may arise between the owner of sueh rodeo and any of the stock raisers, or be- tween any of the latter respecting cat. tie affairs, where the matterin dispute does not exceed in value the sum of fifty dollars. But, if for any reason She said Judge of the Plains is not present. three disinterestea stock own CTS shall decide such dispute"
 The Judge ruled that the act did not provide for the issue of subp@nies and keeping record of proceedings in contested cases, and in tbat respect the law was defective. He also sup. plemcuted his remarks by saying tbat even had subpnnie( been issued and a record of proceedings kept, 1t would have made no difference in the case for the reason that "tbe law was no good" RAxcuEEo.
