A Goddess Turned to Clay.
Froan tAe BOston Record.

A Boston lady who returned from the White
Mountains last week told the historian about
an interesting experience that she had when
she went there. She was greatly taken on the
train going to the mountains with a young
woman on the seat in front Of her, who was
in form, in face, in bearing, verltable Juno.
During the long ride she built many airy
castles of imagination around the form of
this godlike young person. She tried her on
as a society queen, but she looked rather too
sweet and unworldly to be that. She tried
her as a Countess travelling in the United
States, but she didn't seem exactly foreign
The lady couldn't make anything else of her
than a Princess-an ideal Princess, travelling
incognito.
By and by her sojourning place was reached
and what was her delight 10 see the beautiful
young woman alight and so to the hotel where
she herself stopped.
snow | shall have an opportunity to know
her, perhaps, or find out who she isl said the
lady to herself.
That night at dinner the Boston lady seated
herself at the table and began peerlng about
among the guests to see if the one who had
charmed her so completely on the train was
there. Suddenly she heard the voice of the
waiter girl over her shoulder;
"Soup, ma'am?"
She looked up at the girl. Heavens and
EARTH 1t was her Juno, her Princess of the
Journey from Boston!

Rules for Whist Players.
FROM life.

/. Always look solemn.
II. Allow no conversation within 500 feet of
the game.
III. II playing at a club. hotel parlor or
any public place, show clearly by your man
ners that you expect the other occupants of
the room to withdraw.
~. Judge others by their knowledge of the
game, as no other pastime requires SO much
memory, such close attention to established
rules, so little originality and absolute silence
as whist.
V. Never forgive partners error.
VI. Do not allow the fact that the solemn
ty of your appearance is out of all proportion
to any amount of intelhge nce that can posi-
bly, be brought upon the game to deter you
from playing in the presence of others.
VII. Never forget that many of the greatest
men In history were good enough in their
own way, but knew nothing of whist, other
wise you may fail to realize the Importance
of your own accomplishments.
VIII. IT, during the game, a child should
drop anything or raise its voice. it is best to
shoot before the offeAse can be repeated.
TX. Should any ignorant person fail to real
iZe the almost abnormal combination of tai
ents required to play even an ordinary game
of whist, teach him the game at once.
X. Always bear In mind that it is s'scien-
tific" game. aud far ahead of both chess and
poker. which are merely games of chance.
This may be hard work, but 1t Will be good
mental exercise.

Young BIRine'a Wife.
From the Washington CAPITAL.

from tfIo HdSStJ1ytOf CdpLtdL.
Mrs. Blaine, Jr., is an uncommonly pretty
girl, the purest of blondes, with Charming
manners. statuesque figure and a complexion
of peaches and cream. She has spent her
winters in Washington for three years, and,
being bit of a flirt. has the scalps of any
number of dudes hanging at her belt. A
Western Senator, possessed of millions, was
one of her most ardent admirers, and while 1t
is not believed that he actually offered her his
hand and bank book. his devotion was so
marked as to cause much comment That
Jimmie Blaine should have .won against
such rivalry makes the match the more
interesting and inexplicable, partic-
ularly as he is several years
Younger than his bride and has no attractions
to speak of beyond the family prominence and
expectations. Miss Nevns had aspirations in
dramatic way and imagined she could sing.
Her fasco as Paul IN the amateur perform
ance given here under the direction OF the
Portuguese minister's daughter in Victor
Masses opera OF Paul and Virginia" is well
remembered. She sought the society of stage
people, was on intimate terms with Rhea
Modjeska and other actresses, and IL is said
that she is under contract to appear with
Modeska during the approaching season.
This arrangement was made unknown to her
parents, but was conhded to some OF her
friends. who kept the secret until the unex-
pected marriage was announced.

The Sea Islands.

Oh! solemn lands where tired fellows rest
And murmur lullabies on sands of silver
sheen,
Where Southern zephyrs sigh through forests
dim.
And strike sweet chords on Natures glor-
Gus Tyre.
Here summer fingers hand in hand with
Spring,
And hoary Winter wears smile of Youth,
For glowing Autumn keeps her hand IN his
To guide his footsteps down the path OF Time.
Here weary souls car rest in quiet peace
And leave behind dull black, engrossing Care,
The troubles and the WEAKNESS OF Life
Can have no place in lands so calm and fair.

Wall Street Stocks.

In the Forum for October Mr.. John II.
Hume has an article ON "The Heart OF
Speculation" Mr.. Hume's effort is to
show that the New York Stock Exchange,
and, in fact, all the exchanges where the
business Is speculative rather than real,
are curse TO the country. He ridicules
the idea that these exchanges are use
full sin supplying quotable values and
giving stability and tone to the business
of the country" He points out, for in
stance, that In the last five years there
has been no change in the real value OF
the Delaware, Lackawanna and West
ern stock, aud that there has been little
or no variation in its dividends. Not
withstanding this satisfactory condition
of the stock, the exchange quotations of
it have varied greatly. In March, 1884,
the stock was quoted at 1875, and in the
January following at only S25s. In the
following December it was up again to
1885.
1t is mistake, says Mr.. Hume, to sup
pose that the Stock Exchange has upon
its list, to be dealt in, all, or nearly all,
prominent stocks and bonds of acknowl-
edged value impartially selected because
OF their merit. We look in vain for the
shares of the Baltimore and Ohio, whose
stock has not drop of water in it; of the
Pennsylvania Central. whose paper is
equally valid; OF the Boston and Provi-
dence, Boston and Albany, the New
Haven and Hartford, the Maine Cen
trial." and, Mr.. Hume might have added,
the Georgia Central. Watered stocks and
stocks that have little real value are GER
tain to be found in the list OF the EX-
changA

A Mistaken Congressman.

REPRESENTATIVE Norwood's attention
was called yesterday to the article in the
MORNING NEWS in which Congressman
swinburne, of New York, is reported to
have said that the Georgia delegation in
Congress was not III sympathy with the
administration, and that no member of it
would ask favor from the Treasury De.
partment.
Mr.. Norwood said that he had no recol-
lection of the incident to which the New
York CONGRESSMAN draws attention. He
asserted, very emphatically, that the
statement that the Georgia delegation was
not on good terms with the administra-
ton was not true. Speaking TOR himself
Mr.. Norwood said that he had been, and
was now, on the best Of terms with the
administration and gave it his hearty sup
port.
From this statement OF Mr.. Norwood's
1t appears that Mr.. Swinburne is one OF
those men who talk without much re-
gard for facts. II would not be surpris-
ing If he were in the habit of coudemning
newspaper reporters for making mis-.
takes. Those who are least able to make
a correct statement OF facts are often the
severest critics Of the newspaper re-
porters.
The impression that Mr.. Swinburne de-
sired to create was that the Southern
members Of Congress have very little
sympathy with, or respect for. the admin
istration. As he appears to have been
wholly wrong respecting the attitude OF
the Georgia delegation towards the adj
ministration, it is fair to assume that his
statement relative 20 the Southern mem
beTs and the administration is erroneous.

Looking to the Next Congress.

BY making tariff reform an issue in this
campaign, something may be effected in the
flftleth Congress. ii, indeed, there is nothing
TO be expected from that which meets for its
last session this winter. Here in Massachu-
setts the line has been very strictly drawn,
the Democratic nominees for Congress being
pronounced tariff reformers. In some of the
W estern States the pressure of opinion in the
business community has compelled the Re-
publican party TO select as It's candidates men
holding the same views. AS 1t will be too
late after Nov. 2 to effect any change for two
years to come, the presents the season for an
active movement for the relief of trade.

1t may seem strange that the Italians
OF New York were the only people in the
country who took the trouble to celebrate
the three hundred and ninety-iourth an

the sands of Cat Island. They are proud
OF the fact that Columbus was a native of
sunny Italy, but they are oblivious to the
other and more important fact that he left
their country in early life, else he proba-
bly, would never have amounted to row

The Gale on the Gulf.

The storm along the Gulf coast, ac-
counts of which have appeared in our
dispatches for the last two days, was
much more severe and far more destruc-
tive of life and property than was sus-
pected until the details of disasters began
to be received yesterday morning.
The destruction wrought by the wind
and water was considerable at many
other points, but it is hardly worth no.

lamity suffered by Sabine Pass, small
town near the mouth of the Sabine river,
about $50 miles northeast from Galveston.
The town, which contained about 200
inhabitants, was submerged, and fifty, if
not more, of the 200 inhabitants drowned.
The location of the town is low
and fiat, and it's inundation occurred
so quickly that the people did not
have time to seek place OF safety. The
town is a comparatively new one, and
great anticipatiOns with regard to its fu-
tuFe were INDUCED in by those interested
in it. Some years ago the government
made quite large appropriation for the
improvement of Sabine harbor.
