PEOPLE who wonder whence novelists
get the names of their characters. unless
palpably manufactured, will be amused
by the method resorted to by lady nov
elist in England. She took all her names
in lump from some subscription list in
provincial paper. In the course of
events the book dIifted into that particu-
lar part of the country. The result was
considerable stirring up of the inhabi-
tants when they discovered, upon reading
the novel, that the local banker had a
liaison with the Methodist minister S
wife, that q respectable lawyer had served
seven years of penal serVtude in his youth,
that the proprietor of the most rowdy
public house in town had been in the
Balaklave charge. that the chief cheese
monger was the illegitimate son of a
duke, and that the consumptive Ritualist
curate had wound up London career of
fearful crime by tampering with the Der
BY favorite. All these things and more
did this quiet country population find set
forth against their names; but it had the
effect of causing quick demand for the
book in those parts.

A WASHINGTON letter writer says:
"The presidents sister, Mrs. McElroy,
who has done so much for the social part
Of this administration during the visits
she has paid him each winter, came from
her Albany home last week to stay here
until March. 1t is noted as coincidence
that President Arthur and President elect
Cleveland should both be dependent up
on Albany sisters to help them through
their public duties. President Arthur has
an unmarried sister, who until recently
taught school. Since his entry to The
White house Miss Arthur has been tray
cling and living abroad, and as she cares
netting for society, has avoided Wash
ton steadily. Miss Cleveland, who has
also been a school teacher until her broth
er's political elevation, will do her duty
after the 4th of March, and is expected tC
preside over the White house.

presents pitiable case. He applied to
the proper authority to be sent to some
charitable institution because he was too
old to work, and had no money to live
upon. 1t was wormed out of him that he
had brother and sister who had given
him world of trouble, and he wanted to
get clear away from them. Even an asy>
lum for the insane or prisoner cell
would be preferable to liberty with those
two loose relatives in the world He also
confessed that he had made a little for =
tune of 500, 600 during his working life,
and that this money was in a savings
bank, but beyond his reach, because he
had torn up his bank book to keep it out
of the rapacious hands of his brother and
sister who wanted his money. The old
man was taken care of by the commits
sioners of charity until new bank book
can be procured and placed where the ole
mans tormcntors cannot get it to worf

A CAMILLE case is making a sensation
in Buffalo society circles. Cyrus Clarke
Vaudeventor recently married the "Coun>
tess" Lena DeGrasse, and Lena's record
has been looked up and printed. She ran
away with a lover from Toronto at the
age of Is, and went wild and wrong. In
two or three years she suddenly flashed
on Buffalo, where she captured rich
young man, lived in q fine house, drove
out in stylish carriage and was called
countess. The young mans infatua-
ton continued, and his father offered the
countess $4,000 if she would leave his
son, quit Buffalo and never return. She
took it, and left town with the intention
of keeping her word, but it appears she
couldn't stay away. She returned, and
soon the marriage took place. DeGrasse
is an assumed name which Lena took
when she went for trial on the stage il
New York. She is now 81 years of age
and luxuriously beautiful, with great blue
eyes, dark brown hair and perfect fig
ure.

THE effect of railroad pools is seen in
the case of Mattoon, III, which from one
of the most prosperous grain markets in
the state has became third rate town.
There are now only two elevators where
there once were four, and every day
looks like Sunday" The tendency of
pools is inevitably to build up small
towns, as railroad companies would nat
urally prefer to carry grain from places
where they have a monopoly than from
pooling points where they are compelled
to divide their profits with their rivals.
