Timothy Webster was one OF the
staff OF Major Allan (Pinkerton) OF
The secret service department in the
army OF the Potomac with General
Mcclellan. Webster caused the arrest
N Washington of Mrs. Rose O'Neil
Greenhow, an agent of the confeder-
ate government of JEFF Davis. Soon
afterward Webster was detailed to go
to Richmond on important special
service. Meantime pressure was
brought to bear upon the authorities
at Washington to release Mrs. Green.

Allan believing that her release at

A Daughter of Burns4
rom the Pail Mall Gazette.

From the Pail Mall Gazette.
1t will surprise many and may in.
terest % few Of your readers to learn
there died at Moffat on the 18th Of
last month a veritable though illegiti.
mate daughter of the poet Burns. The
old lady in nquesJion, Helen Armstrong
by name, who was 81 or 90 years OF
age, resided for many years in Moffat
in the same little back street in which
she was born somewhere about the
year 176S. The fact of her relation
ship to Burns was well known in Mof-
fat and the eneighborhood. Her moth
er, Nelly Hysloy, was a beauty in her
day, and Burns was for some time
devoted adn.irer of hers. Helen is
said to have borne q strong resem-
blance to Burns in her earlier days,
and indeed thelikeness to the portrait
OF Burns was traceable to the last in
the contour OF the face and in the
dark bright eyes, dimmed as they
were by age and sickness. Nor was the
likeness confined to physical points;
in her mental powers Helen showed
strain of the political blood. "A few
years ago her conversational powers
and her quickness OF repartee were
most amusing and attractive. Even
a few months since, when vel! enough
to talk. her convel sation was highly
interesting. Helen's life, as far as /
can learn, was not a very eventful
one. She went to service at very
early age-7 l think. She belonged to
that genus OF Scotch servants, still ex-
tans though rather rare, who remain
years in one place and identify
their employers interests with their
own. She was thirty years in one sit.
uation at the Buccleuch Arms Inn. at
Thornhill, with a family named Glsn
dinning.

How Clairvoyant United States
Senator Won a Bet.

Chicago Herald.
A United States Senator who used
to f1irt with chance, but who has sinca
become staid and conservative citi
zen, said to a Washington critic re.
porter one day recently:
"Here is card story that you
won't believe, but it happened just the
same. just after the war | was in
Washington on visit, and one night
l went around to gambling house
with several acquaintance. / hap
pened to know the man who ran the
place, and stopped in the ante-room
fol-h few minutes to talk to him while
the rest of the party passed into the
cardroom. In a short tine followed.
There was a faro layout there and a
crowd gathered about it, and as l
came up the cards had just been put
in the box for fresh deal. The in
stant looked at the box l saw under
the first card, which you know does
not count, the jack of clubs. 1t was
as plain to my eyes as though the top
card were made of glass. Before the
dealer began asked him what odds
he would give me if l called the second
card. He looked up little queerly,
and the people about the table laugh
ed derisively. That is acurious way
OF betting, he said, but I'll lay you
ten to one that you can't / put
down $40 and called the jack, and
when he removed the top card the
jack OF clubs was there sure enough
just as had seen it. l would have
called the suit, but was afraid that
he would not bet. The cards had
been put in the box before / came up
to the table, and the only one visible
was the top card, but it is literally
true that / saw the card under it.
You don't believe it? Ibid not sup.
pose you would. Nevertheless, this is
absolute fact. OF course did not at
tempt to account for it, and it has
never happened since"

Manners Next to Morals.
v. Higginson in Harper's Bazaar.

i. W. Higginson in Harper's Bazaar.
Many an ardent and jealous young
reformer offends the very word he is
burning to reform when he refuses to
meet it with some slight compliance;
as Felix Holt, in George Eliot's story,
was willing to die for the improve.
ment of society, but could by no
means consent to wear q cravat for its
sake. Manners come next to morals,
not alone because they help us to make
the world pleasanter and thus render
life easier to allaround us, but also be.
cause they afford a key to those egreater
successes and usefulness for which all
generors persons belong. And their
domain goes beyond this world, for, il
the utmost saint makes himself per.
sonally repnlsive, he so far diminishea

A Young Dakota Belle in hel
Marriage Robe of Plain Pinl
Calico.

A tourist in Dakota recently attend
ed an Indian wedding, and describesit
in letter to the Boston Traveller.
He says that there was large tent,
with the front opened, and q row o.
stakes covered with canvass, making
tense, upon each side leading to it.
Outside was quite small tent trim.
med with all kinds OF pretty feathers,
and over the door a wildcats skin
trimmed with beads and porcupire
quilts. In the large tent, back in the
centre, against very gay curtain, sat
a young girl, half.breed, not
more than fifteen years old, dressed
in skirt and jacket with bright but
tons and boar's teeth, her hair long
and black and falling in front, while q
wreath of feathers on her head COM
pleted her wedding outfit. All llaround
were ornaments, and yards OF pink,
red and yellow calico as drapery, and
on little green trunk near the bride
sat the old chief wrapped in buffalo
robe, looking like a great bear.
Along on one side of the tent sat the
women and girls, and upon the other
side the men, young and old. They
were all painted frightfully and wore
dreadful ornaments, bright blankets
and feathers, and most OF the men
had on but little clothing. Near the
middle OF this group were piled the
provisions, the feast. meat, bread and
boiled corn.
The ceremonies began with the old
chief drumming upon drum and
making a shout and noise like an ami
NAL. Hethen rose and walked around
the girl several times, got on his knees,
and again walked around her. knocked
her from side to side, then smoothed
her hair, gave her something that he
called medicine, then took dish and
placed it before her, knelt down and
took a sip OF what was in it, as she
did also. He then stood up, went
through with some nlumblings over
her head, and then began topass the
feast, first to the women and then to
the men.
The girl took off her gay outside
robe, and it was given to her mother.
Underneath she had short blue dress,
which was taken of, and when the
eating was concluded the poor little
girl slipped out OF the tent in a little
plain pink calico dress, and, with bare
feet and legs, looking frightened and
cold, went to her own tent all alone.
Then they were ready for the dance.

The Cities of the World.

1t will hardly be thought that there
are not on the whole globe fifty cities
containing 100000 people but such
is the fact, and any one may convince
himself Of it by consulting geographi-
cal dictionary. 1t would seem at first
that there must be at least 200 cities
OF 100000 population; but there is
not one-fourth OF the number. OF
these Great Britain has about o;
France, 3; Italy, 4; Germany (properl,
. or u; China, some 8; India, 8 or g.
and the United States, according to
the latest census, 8 or 10. It's some
what remarkable that a country only
100 years old, should have as many
Ut not more) large cities as the Oldest
lands; but it is not improbable that,
before another century, we shall count
as large n number OF cities OF 2OO.-
600 inhabitants as there are now
In the whole world. New York
ers may look with q certain dis
daln upon towns of that site, but
when they remember how few there
are, their disdain should be modified,
If not converted into respect. We are
all inclined to think that old and ia
nous capitals, llkeCordova, Granada,
Cadiz, Florence, Venice, Padua, Yer
ona, Bologna, Warsaw. Cracow, Ant
werp, Chen, Rotterdam, Leyden, Leip.
sic. must be very large, though they
really have no more than from TO-
900 to LAO, ,OOOo or $50, ,OoOpeoplee each.
The cities that can lay claim to 1OO,-
900 population and upwards, are per-
hapS about $50, and these include
many of those which at first thou ,ht
we should suppose contained two or
three times the number. This planet
is very little after ALL It's millions
are not near so numerous as it would
seem that they ought to be, and the
bulk of these do not come within our
idea of civilization, any more than we
come within their idea oft. The more
we know OF our small world, the more
insignificant it appears.

Beautiful Mrs. Cleveland.
From the Cleveland Leader.


Mrs. Cleveland is beautiful wom
an, and she is better looking thar
any OF the pictures which have been
published to represent her. She is a
bout the same height as President
Cleveland, perhaps a tritle shorter.
She stands straightupon her feet, and
her shoulders are very pretty, very
straight and well rounded. She has a
beautiful neck, pretty pink ears. and
her arms are large, fair, and beautiful.
Her complexion is fair, but not rosy,
and her eyes are perhaps the prettiest
feature ofherface. She smiled at near.
ly every man that shook hands with
her last night, and the smile seemed
each time as though it was intended
for the man to whom it was address
ed. 1t was not stereotyped, icy, or
ELUSIVE, but it was full OF friendly feel
ing and personal magnetism. She
made a splendid impression.
