A gentleman, who knew Mr.. Parnell

Magdalen College. Oxford. he was caught
in some peeeadillo by a proctor and his
bulldog He promptly knocked down
the bulldog and ran for home. He
thought that he had been recognized and
feared that ne would be sent down for a
year. He went to an old chap who kept
a chemist shop opposite the Magdalen. gate
(who IS now doing penal servitude, by the
way, and asked him if he could initiate a
black eve. We'll. Mr.. Parnell, l might.
but can't put it on in fast colOrs." But

Toned one All right. let her co. The
embryo Irish statesman braeed himself and
the old fellow let him have il straight and
hard between the eyes. The next morning
he had not only one. but a beautiful pair of
eyes Of the desired color. When he was
hauled up before the dean for his encounter
with the bulldog Parnell claimed that he
had got the worst of it, and as he looked A.
if he had he got of scot free. His pluck
and readiness OF wit had saved him, as il

carriages, and had high old time at her
expense. She would not allow one of them
to spend dollar. and sent word 10 all the
shops and restaurants that anything The
American officers ordered was TO be charged
to her account, There was good deal of
scandal over this affair at Saptiago. and
the Americans who were not asked TO share
the madam's hospitality felt at liberty to
talk about it as severely as they pleased.
Last spring the madam fitted out one of
her coal ships. prOvisioned it in the most
eXtravagant manner, hired an orchestra of
twelve pieces, and invited fifty or more
ladies and gentlemen to take cruise. The
party visited Juan Fernandez, the island
that is sacred to the memory of Robinson
Crusoe, and then sailed down the coast to
Terra del FuegO, where several days were
spent in search Of good time.

of age. she declares that she will not marry
again, and there is not man in Chill who
has the courage 10 ask her. Not long since
she took fancy to young German with
very blonde beard and hair, and insisted
that he should give up his business and
make his home with her. The inducements
she offered were sufficient. and for several
months the young man has been tied to her
apron strings having the Ostensible EN-
ployment of a private secretary. But the
madam is very tickle, and will probably
throw him overheard when the within sezeS
her. as she has many others. The portrait
which ! send represents Sonora CousnO in
her everyday costume, which consists of
the traditional black embroidered manta
worn by all the women of Chill and Peru
when they appear in the street. The pict-
ures of her daughters show one, Senorita
Pacifica. in fancy costume. and the other,
SeDOrita lsadOra, in ordinary reception dress.
Neither of the girls inherit their mothers
business ability, or at least they have not
developed it, but are very popular in society,
and SenOrta lsadOra, the elder, has great
deal OF musical talent, performing on the
violin and piano. Both are very bright and
pretty, one being about II and the other 10
years of age. Their brother, young man
of % or 25, will share the property with
them; and it is quite an unusual thing for a
boy with so much money to develop the
business capacity and industry that he
shows. He looks after the estancia at
Macul and spends from six to eight honrs a
day in the saddle, riding about the place,
seldom joining in the festivities that his
mother enjoys so much, and being quite
pronounced in his disapprOval of her ex-
travagance. He is to marry young lady
of rather humble station. and it is expected
that the Meiggs mansion, which / have de-
scribed. will be given to the bride by his
mother as wedding gift.
