In William NJ. Evarts, New York has elect
ed to the senate not only one of her ablest
but one Of her wittiest lawyers. One OF his
professional brethren says in the Tribune: l
am not sure but his choicest mot was uttered
at q dinner which Was given in this city seve-
raj years ago to Thomas Bayley Potter, a
member of the English House of Commons.
Rev. Henry Potter was the host, and among
the guests were number of other well-known
members of the Potter family. When it came
Mr.. Evarts's turn formally to speak, he began
about this way; "When | remember that
we are being entertained by Rev. Henry
Potter, that we were invited to meet Sir Thom-
as Bayley-Potter, when observe at my right
Olarkson N N-Potter and at my left Rev Eli
phalet Nott-Potter, / am reminded of the
young country clergyman who was unexpect-
edy summoned to supply city pulpit The
church was so imposing and the congregation
so fashionable that when he arose to make
the opening invocation he found himself Q
good deal hustered. The result WAS that, to
the CONSERVATION OF his hearers, he led of
with the petition, % Lord, help us never tC
forget that Thou art the clay and that We a q
the potters. One morning the elevator tha
carried him up to his office in the state de-
partment contained an unusual number oi
strangers, presumably applicants for minister
ships or consulships. Turning to a frienC
who accompanied him, Mr.. Evsrts whispered
"This is the largest collection for foreigI
missions that I've seen taken up for som'
| time"

ATrus s,or, Of Mon,eaore.

"Ob, nurse nurse - cried bright little
girl, dressed in exquisite taste and simplicity,
as they passed high gate over which the
flowers hung, "look-what lovely flowers -
and the bue-eyed child pointed to bunch OF
roses that filled the air with their fragrance.
They are lovely, indeed, said the nurse,
'but have you not flowers enough in the gar
den at home 2"
"But would so like to have that beautiful
bunch" she exclaimed, so Earnestly that heI
eyes half filled with tears.
It was in the morning hour. The wall
along the Ramsgate hills was the child's daily
exercise. Each day she saw the beautiful
roses, and each day she was sorely tempted tC
pick them, but she knew they were not hers
They belonged to someone else."
'If you please, maam," said voice beside
her, and the gardener appeared at the gate
II heard the little miss asking for the flowers
and III be after asking the master to let me
give them to her."
"Oh, thank you," said the nurse, that,
very kind of you"
Lest the gardener might forget, that very
day the child's mother wrote a note to tn,
gentleman who lived in the villa with th,
lovely garden, asking that her little CIR
might have few roses. And the next morn
ing the child entered the gate, and was al
lowed to gather as many roses and violets a.
she liked. How happy she was as she darteC
around the Aowery paths with birds joyous
ness, and what happy words fell from he
lips
Many, many years have passed since then
The gentleman who let the child gather hi,
roses is now Sir Moses Montedore, and tn,
child is-Queen Victoria Aud when, las
year, the baronet entered upon his one hun
dredth year, she and her eldest son, the Primo,
of Wales, were among the first to send hin
their kindly greetings. She has not forgot
ten, perhaps, that bunch of roses.-JeUisj

An Augusta, Ga, weekly paper, the Sentinel,
has been started in the interest of colored peo-
pie, and the annexed paragraph is In the ini-
tial number; 1--WE are living here among the
same people that once owned u.s. We must
get on together. There is nowhere for us to
go. We could not 60 if we wanted to. They
could not send us il they tried. We should
thank God for the measure Of peace that exists
among us. 1t could be much worse It only
remains for US to educate our children, buy
lands, make our homes pure, dignihed, and
comfortable, and save money, and every other
right will follow"
Willis Starkes, a oolored man, who died In
the Freedman's Hospital in January last, drew
his own will in homely style, but 1t has been
admitted to probate. The instrument as oop-
led by the Washington Post, is as follows :
'It 1, Willis Starkes, should re the shortest

The railroad connects with Georgetown Of

An enterprising country publisher in Eng

bers of people suffer from an almost uncon'
querable repugnsnoe to letter writing, has
prepared a special post card for the use o.
| lazy correspondents. The back OF the card il
divided ledgthwise into ten unequal spaces
and the energies of the reluctant scribe are
spurred by following suggestive headings, on'
of which is conspiouously printed to the lef
of each of the divisions: l. Date. 2. Excus

When Japanese girl gets up in the morn
ing, she washes her face, but does not have
to dress her hair. That is attended to only
once a week. when the hair-dresser comes TO
the house and arranges her jet-black locks in
the fashion for little girls of her age. So sh,
has no trouble about her hair, and after her
bath the servant assists her to powder her
neck with small white brush. She puts q
little red paint on her lower hp and little
her sleeping-dress she has on only a shori
skirt, which is simply a square piece Of cloth,
Grape or silk, tied around the waist. No 9th
or underclothing is worn.
In making her toilet for the day, she first
puts on a garment made usually of some
coarse material, reaching only to the waist
but having long sleeves On the neck of thi-
garment is sewed deep fold of scarlet OF
some bright colOred Grape or silk. A long,
straight skirt of blue or red Grape, silk OF
wool is tied around the waist, and over al
three of these garments is worn the kimono,
or dress. This is of some dark color, Rnc
made of coarse spun silk or thick Grape. Fol
festivals and holidays the dresses are of hus
material and very handsome. The outel
dress is simply wrapper reaching to tn,
feet, with very long and wide sleeves hanging
nearly to the ground and used as pockets
On each shoulder deep tuck is made, which
extends to the waist, thus making little full
| ness for the skirt. But the dress has no gath
ers, and is straight all the way down. ThI
neck is adorned with wide piece OF blaol
velvet or satin, which reaches nearly TO tn,
waist, and the dress is crossed over the bosom
and confined by girdle. Over this is wori
a very wide SASH piece of brocaded silk o
satin, stiff with embroidery in gold or silver
lined with soft silk, and fastened behind in
very large bow. When these are all on, bu
barefooted, or if in cool weather, in whit
mitten socks, made to reach only to the ankle
aud with place in which to put the great to
| Gust as mittens have place for the thumb
she goes out to say "Ohaio," or good. morn
ing, to her father and mother. st. NiehOld

By an almost unanimous vote the faculty
of Harvard University have adopted new
scheme of entrance examinations, which will
make il possible for student to receive his
diploma without ever having studied Greek.
The scheme, which will go into effect in
1887, embraces two classes of studes-ele-
mentary and advanced and candidate for
admission to the freshman class may, il he
chooses, present himself for examination on
all OF the elementary studies with the excep-
tion of either Greek or Latin, and on at least
four advanced stodies with the same privilege
as to Greek and Latin. There are other in
teresting features in the new scheme, but the
option in regard to Greek will attract the
most notice. A sturdy fight will doubtless be
made by the friends of the classics to recover
the ground apparently lost by this action OF
the Harvard faculty.
