THE DEVIL AND TOM WALKER.

Congressman Vilman of South Carolina.
You may ask, who was Tom Walk
er! lie was Boston man, who was
meaner than the devil, as was prov
ed in this wise: According to Wash
ington Irving, our American Walter
Scott, Tom Walker was Boston
usurer who formed a partnership
with the devil to discover Captain
Kidd's treasure and open a brokers'
Office in Boston on condition that
they should divide the profits for a
long term of years, at the end of
which time Tom was to deliver him
self up, heart, body and soul, to the
devil as part of the contract. Tom
had a wonderful run of business and
made immense sums of filthy lucre,
but some time before the contract
expired he was driving such a hard
bargain with a poor, helpless debtor
that the devil himself got cnrqged
that any one should be meauc. .han

Evil is sly, subtle, treacherous,

should be utterly impervious to the

SEVEN AGES OF MAN.

Now that photographs are attaina-
bis by all, thanks to the march of
science, man passes through seven
distinct stages Of being photographed,
each exceeding all previous efforts
in that line First he is photograph
ed as prattling bald-headed baby,
absolutely destitute Of eyes, but max
ing up for this deficiency by wealth
of mouth that would make negro
minstrel olive green with envy. The
second stage on the downward road is
the photograph of the boy with fresh
cropped hair, and in which the stiff
ard protuberant thumb takes lead
ing part. Then follows the portrait
of the lad, with strongly marked
freckles and look of hopeless mel
ancholy. Next comes the young man
OF twenty-one, with bis front hair
plastered smoothly down over his ten
der, throbbing dome of thought. He
does not care so much about the ex-
preston and the mobile features so
long as his left hand, with the new
ring on it shows distinctly, and the
string of jingling, Jangling charms ON
his watch chain, including the cute
little basket cut out of a peach stone,
stand out well in the foreground.
Soon after this he has tintype tax
en-, in which young lady sits in the
alleged grass, while he stands behind
her, with his hand lightly touching
her shoulder, as though he might be
feeling of the thrilling circumference
of a buzz saw. This thing continues
until one day he comes into the stu
dio with his wife, and tries to see
how many children can be photo
graphed on one negative by holding
one to each knee and using the older
ones as a background. The last
stage in his eyentful career, the old
gentleman allows himself to be pho
tographed. 1t is picture at which
the thoughtless may smile, but it is
full Of pathos, and eloquent for those
who know him best. His attitude is
stif and his coat lunches up in the
back bus bis Kind ola heart esert3

Hum mori5t Wilder Relates a Joke on Htna

IN. T.Mai1 and Express.}
Marshall r. Wilder the humorist, who
returned last week from q visit to En
gland. tells good little story upon him.
SELF. He was given g reception by Will
lam Beatty Kin ;ston, Of the London Dolly
!, Telegraph, and many ARTISTS and people OF
!aote we're present. Wilder hnd been pre-
sented to a gsntleman whose name he
difference of customs between, America
and England Wilder remarked that in ths
United States one man was as good as an.
other, while in England he was st "a loss to
know how to address those he met. There
was Duke "Come -Up-the-B Back -Stair' and
Lord this and Lord that. The gentleman
to whom he was speaking replied that all
that was necessary would be TO address
any gentleman as plain "Mr." The En-
glish nobility were not fools and would bo
satisfied with that title. Later in the even
ing q lady asked him how he enjoyed his
conversation with the Duke of Teck.
Then, for the first time, the humorist
discovered he had been talking in rashet
plain manner to the brother-in-law Of the
Queen. Mr.. Wilder speaks of Lady Wilde
SIS being even more eccentric than her two
sous. Her receptions are attended by tho
most prominent people in London and are
much sought after. She receives her guests
seated upon a throne, with Oscar on her
right hand and Willie on her left Every
now and then, in imploring tones, Willie
will address his mother: Mother do yeu
love mea'' Then Oscar takes up the strain:
t'sMother do you love your Oscars" Then
they will shake hands all round. Lady
Wilde, though quite advanced in years,
will insist upon wearing her dresses very
decollete and pinned at the breast with
brooch containing the picture of her late
lamented husband. This brooch, the day
Mr. Wilder dined with them, would insist
upon falling into the soup. Oscar Wilde's
dining-room is most peculiar il the design
of it's decoration. The entire aoor is made
of glass to represent water the walls being
decorated in the same style, and the table
is set upon an island in the middle of the
room. The glass and china are equally
unique, the dishes and plats representing
various fishes, and the glasses shells. Tho
tables are waited upon by young girls in
peasant costumes.
