PARIS, May S-Miss Folsom, the
fdncee of President Cleveland will
not start for home as soon as expect
ed. She will hardly be seen in New
York before the early part of June.
1t was, as bave already cabled you,
the intention of her party to sail from
Liverpool May Is, by the Inman
steamer City of Chicago. Unfortu-
nately for this plan Mrs. Folsom, who
has never entirely recovered from the
attack of Roman fever which COLL
PEELED her to take to her bed in Genoa,
has fallen i'll again and the departure
will nave to be postponed for about
fortnight.
Meantime the preparation of the
wedding outfit is going on with all
possible expedition. The fact of the
engagement is no longer denied by
the family among their intimates
and, indeed, the bridal dress is
already made. Besides Miss Folsom
her mother and her cousin. Mr.. Ben
Ijamin Folsom, the party at the llote
Bellevue includes Mrs. John IL,
Steuart, wife of the American Consul
at Antwerp. Mrs. Steuart is an old
friend of the Folsoms and has been
helping them in their shopping. The
family avoid observation as much as
possible, but the people who have
met Miss Folsom speak enthusiastic
ally of her striking beauty, intelli
gence and tact.

the first trial the jury decided that
beans were garden seeds, and duty of

This did not satisfy the plaintiff, who
thought they were farm seeds. A sec

unsatisfactory, and a third trial was
had, when the conclusion was reached
that beans were neither seeds nor vege-

The Coming White House Bride.

Washington Letter in Boston Traveer.l
The President has rot given notice
to anybody as to whether he intends
to marry Miss Folsom at the White
House or whether he will 60 home TO
Buffalo and have the interesting cere-
mony performed there. In either
event he will probably be satisfied,
and the dear public will have to be.
The impression prevails here that
the ceremony will take place at the
White House. This is owing to the
fact that scores of Miss Folsom's rela-
tives have been saying that she has
already decided upon that place. OF
course in such a matter Mr.. Cleve-
land would defer to the wishes of the
bride-elect, and consequently iftbe
lady says the word the event will
undoubtedly take place here. Sever
al dates have been announced for the
wedding, none of which are certain !;
but it is quietly whispered that the
pair will probably be made one eth
err on the 9th or 10th of June. Ever
since he first took possession of the
White House, Mr.. Cleveland has
manifested great interest in the blush
ing brides and grooms who wander
through the stately rooms hand in
hand happier than they ever have
been before or ever will be again.
The President is not over fond of ba-
bies-he may come to that after a
while-but he loves 10 gaze upon the
examples of marital'bliss who come
to see what great and good man he
is. Miss Folsom will find her Presi-
dental lover bigger man than when
she left him last fall. lie is stouter
and heavier by some thirty pounds
than he was when he put the moment
GUS question to her at their last exec
utive session and when the motion
was carried unanimously with a
blushing assent. Mrs. Cleveland
will only have SIX rooms at first, be-
cause these constitute the entire pri-
vate part of the White House, but
later on there will be all extensin
built by Congress, and then she will
have plenty of room. Nothing has
yet been said about a bridal tour,
and it is not known whether or 10
the President intends 10 take one.

excelsior"

Many admirers Of Longlcllow win be
interested to learn that the idea Of this
popular poem was suggested to the
author by the lofty sentiments contained
in letter which he received from his
friend Charles Sumner. In letter which
the poet himself wrote to another of his
friends, Mr. C. X. Tuckcrman, he tells
how this idea was developed in his
mind; and he gives in plain prose, the
intended lesson of the piece:
The hero passes through the Alpine
village, through the rough, cold paths Of
the world, where the peasants cannot un-
derstand him, and where his watchword
is in an unknown tongue" He dsre-
CARDS the happiness of domestic peace,
and secs the glacier, his fate, before him.
He disregards the warning of the old
mans wisdom and the fascination Of
woman's love. He answers to all,

The monks of St. Bernard are the

\ young lady in an eastern city, who
was reared in luxury, but whose circum-
stances were sadly changed by the
bankruptcy and death Of her father,
has been making living Of late by do
ing mcnding in various families of her
acquaintance. Like many other girls
accustomed to idlcncss and wealth, she
had smattering of many things, but
was not proficient enough in any par
ticular line to make a living. At length
it occurred to her that she could mend
clothing, darn stockings, and do odd
jobs of that kind, and on applying for
work found that there was plenty of it to
do. She now has all the customers that
she can attend to, and is making a great
success in her chosen industry. Other
young women who have found the oc-
cupations that they have felt themselves
fitted for overcrowded, or who have
been unable to turn their hands to an
business requiring preparation on their
part, may find in this girls experience a
suggestion that will be worth something
TO them.

Short History of Candles.

Candlcsticks are mentioned in the
Bible, but there seems to be no doubt
that these were lamps for burning olive
oil rather than supports for which are
now called candles. The candles used
by the Greeks and Romans were rude
torches made by dipping strings Of papy-
rus or rushes into pitch, and afterward
coating them with wax. In Europe this
candle was in use during the middle ages,
the wick being of twisted tow. Often
these were very large and heavy. Among
the poorer classes candles were made by
soaking splints of wood in fat or oil.
The use of these wood splints is mention
ed in English history about the begin
ming of the fourteenth century. Wax
candles were also made during this CEN
tury, but they were expensive and deem
ed great luxury. Soon after this
dipped candle made from tallow was in
trodueed. A company for making wax
candles was incorporated in London in
1881 Mold candles are said to be the
invention of the Sieur lie Brez, OF Paris.
spcrmaceti candles are of modern manu-
facture. Chicago hte- Ocean,

New African Chiffon Fields-

Africa has 50 long been regarded as a
steady consumer of imported cotton.
that the idea Of her ever becoming a
producer and entering the cotton mar
kct as Il rival to the United States would
doubtless appear to most people as i'm
possible as that the scauty and unprotita-
bic tea plantations Of Southern Russia
should one day surpass the finest growth
of China, Yet this seeming cxtravagant
idea was graycly discussed years ago by
one of the geatcst living authoities upon
all questions connected with Africa, and
pronounced perfectly feasible not only by
him but by several other competent
judges Strangely enough recent events
in the northeast Of the DARK Continent
seem to have shaped themselves on pur-
pose to favor the making Of this eXtraor-
dlnary experiment, which aims at moth
ing less than the retaining Of the entire
Nubian Desert at one blow, and the turn
ing of the whole extent Of that vast re-
gion that lies between the Upper Nile
and the Red Sea into one gigantic cotton
plantation. The scheme is undoubtedly
a colossal one, but generation which
has constructed the Sucz Canal and the
Mont Gents Tunnel, and which is now
considering the feasibility of submerging
the entire western half of the Sahara
Desert beneath the Atlantic, can hardly
venture to pronounce it impossible or
even improbable. -BrooIjgu Uaion.

Hiding YaIuables.

Speaking Of silver, says NJ. G. McClel-
land in the Chicago Times, reminds me
of little story heard Richmond lady
tell my mother some time after the cap
ture. She had aquantity of valuables
and slowed them about in every conceiv-
able place for safety. Among other
things she had huge solid silver fire
mans trumpet, which had been presented
to her husband by the volunteer fire
brigade of Richmond many years before
in recognition of his service as their
chief. This trumpet was forgotten in
the general hiding Of valuables, and the
Yankees were fairly in sight when she
discovered it resting ostcutatiousy in the
middle Of the center table in the parlor.
She was loath to lose it, knowing that
her husband valued it greatly, but where
to stow away the big thing She could not
think. At last She took it out to an old
negro man who was very much attached
to her husband, explaining her dilemma,
and told Him to take the thing away and
hide it. Long before the end Of the
three days she gave the trumpet up for
lost, as the soldiers, not being hurried,
pokcd about in every hole and Granny
with a perseverance and fertility OF re-
source worthy of better cause. But the
day after they departed the old negro
presented himself at the house with smiles
on his coumtenance and the trumpet
under his arm. On being questioned, he
explained that he had "totcd de horn
down de hill an jammed it up in one ole
hollcr log what was sorter layin' in de
creek, an too soggy fur to make fire. "
He had stuffed up the opening in the end
with wet leaves, and calmly watched the
soldiers sitting on the log by the hour al
a time without the faintest suspicion ol
its silver heart

Bunting the Feelings.

"Curious how ones feelings get blunt
ed by the sight of blood and horrors,
says Sir Chas. Wilson, in his new nara
tive of the Nile expedition. "Thcrc was
one strange incident. An unwounded
Arab, armed with a spear, jumped up
and charged an officer. The officer
grasped the spear.with his left hand, and
with his right ran his sword through the
Arabs body; and there for a few seconds
they stood, the officer being unable to
withdraw his sword until a man ran up
and shot the Arab. 1t was living en-
bodiment of one of the old gladiatorial
frcscoes Of Pompcii. 1t did not, strange
to say, seem horrible; rather, after what
had passed, an everyday occurrence.
