About Mr.. Lowell.

Ex.MiuisterLowell was madea good
deal of socially when he came to Phll-
adelphia the other day to attend the
opening of O new educational lnsti-
tuition for women at Bryn Mawr, 10
or l6 miles out, writesa Chicago Irib-
une correspondent. He attended a
rerention or two, and was given sew
eral dinners. 1t was his first visit
cor As wears. Thatfact may nothave
been complimentary to the town, but
| Philadelphians are very forglvlng to
bio men. Just after his marriage he
boarded here with his wifein aQuaker
family for a year, and to see aett
way in which he gave ANY TO n
members OF the Society OF Friends,
who are the chief supporters OF the
new women's college, was a literal ed
ucation in diplomacy. He looks eS-
| ceedingly well, and the fit OF h~isclothes
and the nicety with which his HAIR was
adjusted on each side OF q line down
the middle of MS head were all very
agreeable to the mild Philadelphia
| dudes whom hemet out.
In the course OF adinner at thecoun-
try place OF Minister John Welsh,
Mr.. Lowell expressed a very high adj
miration for the Spanish, to whose
I court he once was minister. For val
or, intellectual ability, honesty and
dignity of person. he sad, enthusiasts
cally, the S%paniards rank with the
best people on the face OF theearth.
/ Apropos OF the honesty o the com
mon people, he told this %anecdote:
When he left Madrid and went to Lon
don, he brought with him Il manser-
want who had attended him some
years. Afterward the servant gave
| Mr.. Lowell n sum OF money, with a re-
quest that it beiorwardedt to his broth
er in Spain. Mr.. Lowell took the
money and offered a receipt, but the
servant seemed to be panied by the
proceeding, and to consider h tender
OF the papera reproach.
"NVhy," said he, drawing himselfup,
honest man. Idonot want the
paper. | would not take advantage
OF the absence of the paper to cheat
you, Senior"
But you do not understand" said
the ex-minister. ''This is simply q
business affair. The paper will pro-
tect your interests"
"No; my interests are protected"
"But your brother, then, he would
like to have themoney accounted for
"My brother is anhonest man, too"
"Nell, then, would likeyou to take
the receipt for my " satisfaction"
"You, Senior. Are not you also an
honest man?'
Lowell despaired ofmakingthe trust
ful and picturesque Spaniard under
stand and forwarded the money as it
stood. In Il few weeks, he received a
let crfrom his servants brother couch
ed in the hyperbole OF Spanish polite
ness, thanking him for the gracious
gift" OF gold.
Mr.. Lowell at the same dinner said
he had mapped out his future life. He
will accept no governmental office OF
any kind, but will give himselfup alto
gether to literature. He has a greal
liking for English life, and says he will
spend a considerable part of every
year III Great Britain; but, in order
that he may not eXpatriate himself,
he will accept no position abroad.

IN THE FIRELIGHT.

The fire upon the hearth is low,
And there is stiffness everywhere
Like troubled spirits, here and there
The freight shadows tluttering go.
And as the shadows round me creep,
A childish treble breaks the gloom,
And softly from a further room
Zones; Now | lay me down to sleep"
And, somehow, with that little pray'r
And that sweet treble in Aiy ears,
My thought goes back to distant years
And fingers with a dear one there;
And as | hear the child's amen,
My mothers faith comes pack to me
Crouched at herside l seem to be,
And mother holds my hands again.
Oh. for an hour in that dear place
Oh, for the peace OF that dear time
Oh, for that childish trust sublime
Oh, for the glimpse OF mothers face!
Yet, as the shadows round me creep,
do not seem to be alone
Sweet magic OF that treble tone
And Now l lay me down to sleep!"

A Very Tough Story.

a telegram from Toledo relates the
story of a farmer in Montclara, Ohio,
who died and was buried thirteen
years ago, but is still writing to his
family. The Washington Sunday Capt.
tol prints a story quitea as remarkable,
as follows: "A very remarkable case
has come to my attention through 6
friend III the Pension Office which fur
nlshes incidents for a novel as power
full rs any Dumas or Eugene Sue ever
used. In 1854 a Lieutenant from an
Ohio village was killed in one OF the
battles in Virginia and his body was
sent home, buried with military
honors and a handsome monument
erected over it by the citizens of the
place. Thousands ofpeoplepaid their
tributes OF honor to the young hero
and looked upon his face as the body
lay in state III the Town Hall. He left
a widow to whom he had been mar
red only a year, and for more than
twenty years she has been trying to
get a pension; but, although she keeps
fresh flowers upon her husbands
grave, she cannot prove that he is
dead. The records in the Adjutant
Generals office are perfect, and afti-
davlts an be furnished from thou
sands OF people who saw and recog-
nlzed his ~liieless body, but every
lew months she receives a letter
from him written in q hand
as familiar as her own. Two letters
never come from the same place; now
they are postmarked III Colorado, then
IN Texas, then in New York. Once she
got a note from him dated at Wash
lnSton. He appears to know what is
gong on ut home, and always alludes
10 local occurrences with familiarity
that is amazing. He sends messages
to Old friends and gives her advice
ABOUT business matters whichitseems
impossible Tor a stranger TO know.
one ahhot answer these ghostly NOS
slVes, because he never gives any cftie
10 his Whereabouts, and no detective
has even been able to find him. Her
friends believe that the writer is some
crank Or malicious person who takes
ms way to annoy her. and hedistress
the poor women suffers cannot be
measured by any other human expert
ence: Long ago she ceased to open
envelopes which came with thefamiiiar
address, but sends them sealed to her
attorney, who uses every possible
means to secure a clue to the identity
OF the writer. The only circumstances
TO suggest that it may possibly be her
husband are the penmanship and the
iamlilarlty the writer shows with the
,ady $ private life, but how he could
keep himself postedis anothermystery
Iiat cannot be solved. Several times
Ihe writer has minated that he might
soon pay her Il visit, but the next let
yer always contains an apology for
not having done SO. The woman has
suffered agony ofmind beyond descrip-
e,on, and her life has been ruined by
bas horrible mystery, but Of late she
mas econ more resigned, and would
neither be surprised nor disappointed
into her door"

eral articles in your paper in regard
to the building of the Town House
in the town Of Woodsitle, ,cond GINNING
the Town Board for using the Road
and Bridge fund tor the construction
of said house. Our Todd county
friends, as we'll as othtrs, would do
we'll: before they cast too many sluts,
to consult the Town Board and know
of what they speak. In order that
everybody may know how the matter
stands; I will explain and shoH that,
in reality, tile Town House was not
built out of the Road & Bridge fund.
III the first place the Road and Bridge
fund owed the Town Ordinary fund
about Sits or $3.50, which was Dor
rowed from time to time in order TO
enable the town to pay cash for jobs
let, as by so doing they would be
done great deal chearer. Now, by
repaying tile Town Ordinary fund
from the Road and Bridge fund, there
will be enough money in the Treas
ury, to the credit OF that fund, to run
the town for the next year without
Voting any more, and the tax payers,
if they see fit, can vote $3.50 for the
building of said town house and not
have any greater tax next year than
if the money was left, as it has been
for the past five or six years, in the
Road and Bridge fund. In the next
place, the Town Board was obliged
to furnish place to hold election, rs
the School B1ard Of district No. 142
had notified item that they could not
use their school house any more.
The Board had had to meetin private
houses many times, which is not very
agreeable, especially to women folks.
If any one has any doubts of the
truth Of the above statements, they
can call on the Board or Town Clerk,
and be thoroughly convined on the
matter. VISIBLE.
