OF Queen Victoria'sdaughters Adam
Badeau says: "All these ladies lead
very dull and humdrum lives. They
are too high to find equals in society;
they must be surrounded with a GER
tain degree Of state and ceremony;
they have their people in waiting; ev-
erybody courtesies or kotows to them.
But this is the extent OF their grand
eur. Their incomes are not to becom-
pared with the OF the nobili-
ty; their jewels and toilets are inferior
to the trappings OF many of the ladies'
who wait on them; they have nogreat
estates, or mansions, even, but must
putup with apartments in some half
deserted palace; aud the spectacle they
present of impoverished royalty ispit-
liable, rather than dignified. The ma
ton grudges them their allowance and
threatens not to support their chill
dren. The demand for a dowery is
fought by the radicals at each success
sive marriage, and the more obscure
they remain the better the chance OF
their portion being paid. The English,
perhaps, are still willing to be taxed
for the state of the sovereign and the
heir to the throne, but not for the
support OF the royal relatives, whose
existence is q burden to the nation
and can never be a benefit.

A Rich Mans Dining-rOom.
From the Philadelphia Press.

"Howmuch does it cost tofurnish a
dining-room for the mansion Of a mill
ionaire?" was asked of a fashionable
furniture dealer the other day.
"Weli that depends entirely on what
he is willing to pay. Chairs. for in
stance, range in price from SIS to $50
~apiece-that is, the chairs for the side
Of the table. The arm-chairs that are
placed at either end cost from S25 to
500. Tables run from $50 up to
$3.50 according to the wood that is
used. All tables are, OF course, OF the
extension pattern. Wedo not sci! any
that can not be extended to eighteen
or twenty feet in length"
"What would a carved oak dining
set COST"
"Here is a sample OF o. chair with
carved oak feet andback. 1t is cover
ed with embossed leather decorated by
hand. Such a chair will last a hun
dred years. 1t is worth $50. The
arm chairs to match are worth $50
each. Put six or eight chairs on a side
and add a table, and the set would
cost in round figures 81, 200. That
does not include u side-board and side
table. OF course there are cheaper
sets" remarked the dealer. with a
beautiful smile. "Food, doubtless,
does one as muchgood whenset before
one on a rough pine board" he solilo-
quized, ''but people who can afford it
prefer not to take it that way, and
therefore we exist"

Houses that Great Men Lived In.

Pail Mall Gazette.
The committee on inscriptions in
Paris has been continuing it's useful
and interesting work. The house in
the Chaussee d Antin where Rossini
lived for SO many years has been dis
tinguished with a plaque marking out
the circumstances. Any one who has
Travelled much in Germany and Italy
knows how sedulous foreign munich
palities are to throw this kind ofllstre
over their cities. We find the Dante
House at Florence and the Goethe
House at Frankfort bought by the
state, which is proud to own and dis
play them. Even if a traveller OF note
has descended" on his way and be-
come a resident of the place, the fact
is gracefully recorded. The word
Mozart" in gilt capitals over the first
floor windows OF a house in the Leil,
at Frankfort, tells it's own tale, and
a bust of O'Connell decorates the
frontage Of the Hotel Trombetta, at
Genoa, where the Liberator died.
Here in London we have few records
US. 1t is known that Haydn and
4Attilocl uilu 21eiilc!SSllOl, SaliuyCk
and Rubens and Kaufman and
Voltaire have all been here, but we
have no trace Of their habitations.
We do not care to record and distin-
guish the dwelling places of u own
great men. One society does, indeed,
act the parto Of asort ot"Old Mortali-
ty'in revivifying old traditions, and q
few plaques scattered over London
show how great an interest is allowed
to remain unawakened. The houses
where Goldsmith died, where Thackery
wrote vanity Fair" where Charles
Dickens wrote edwin Drood"-these
and many others are now known and
will soon be forgotten. France, Ger
many, Austria or Italy would be proud
to record of foreigners what our care
lessness thinks not worth mentioning
OF our own countrymen.

Does a Woman Marrying a Minis
ter Marry His Whole Congrega-

ton?
A pretty good story is told OF a
young but gritty pastor OF the First
Baptist Church at Pittsfield, Mass,
bearing on the old notion that when
a lady marries a minister she practi-
cally marries his whole congregation.
1t seems that a short time ago he
married q vivacious young lady whose
family was OF the Episcopal Church,
and this gave occasion to some OF the
tattlers of the husband church. But
the climax was reached q few weeks
later. when the young wife attended a
social given by the Business.M Mems
Association, and joined in the waltzes
and quadrilles, just like other ladies
present. Then the tongues OF the Cos
sips of the husbands congregation
wagged at double-quick; and, the facts
he shot a little gospel truth at the
gossips, saying, among other things,
the following:
"My wife came to you in a position
involving no responsibility. She Is
neither the property OF the church nor
my property IN that sense, having
views r%eligiously, socially, and domes-
tically which are entirely her own.
She is not to be criticised by you.
She is accountable only to her God,
and the church is not her keeper.
She is not a co-worker with me as far
az church affairs go, and you have no
authority to gossip about her. St.
Paul says if church members have a
grievance against q brother they shall
go to him with two or three and then
if he declines to hear to cite himto the
church. / want you to come to me
if you have any fault to find and not
talk to third parties. My wife shall
do as she pleases, and she shall not
be accountable to you III any sense.
You would better let her alone"

A KNoTTY problem in will case, said

A KNoTTY problem in will case, said
to have never been settled, came up the
other day in Seymour, CT. John II.
Tingue died recently in Seymour, leav-
ing personal property of $4,000, be-
sides considerable real estate, to his
heirs, "to be taken, owned, and pre-
served by them, as if had died in
testate." His heirs were five brothers
and sisters, one of the latter being q
half sister. The will was executed in
New York, where he had formerly lived,
and if he had died intestate in that
State the half-sister would have been
entitled to an equal share with the
others. But had he died intestate in
Connecticut she would have had moth
ing. The question of how mans
will, executed while citizen of one
State, is affected by his dying while a
citizen of another State, is still open to
Interpretation. The matter in this case
was settled by the other heirs sharing
equally and voluntarily with the half
sister, and so the question remains I'M
determined.

How to Keep Out the Noise.

There are q multitude of sufferers
from the noise of their neighborhood
who endure what amounts to agony,
exciting their nerves to abnormal action
and their pulse to fever heat, when it
would do no injury to use a simple
means of obvating the whole thing.
The clangor of machinery, the ringing
of bells, the cries and laughter, the
yells and roars of one hundred or less
children at recess or at ball playing,
the passing of heavy drays-all or any
of these, and other things, are some
times fatal to TIE health of the invalid
and to the work of the thinker. Often
it is utterly impossible to move into a
region where no heavy draYs pass, no
bell ringing is allowed; and then there
is hardly region to be found not in
vaded by the whistle of the steam en-
CINE, or where boys do lot shout at
their games; and even where there are
no cocks to crow, or dogs to bark, or
birds to sing at unseemly hours before
dawn, there is always some other sound
to torture the sensitive ear.
If, now, the sufferer will take bit of
spermaceti ointment of about the size
of pea, tie it up in small square of
fine linen and place it deep in the ear,
working it round tillit takes the shape
of the orifce, leaving the end to hang
out, not murmur of sound can be
heard; the atmosphere is sweet and
Sc rene, the nerves are quite at rest, all
evaporation is subdued, and when the
noise is over, or the necessary season
of quiet has been had, the little plug
can be removed, the murmur of the
world allowed to return, and no harm
is done.--The Argonattt

Touching the attitude of the Repub-

spondent telegraphs that journal as follows:
There is considerable feeling upon the Repub-
IL In side of the Senate, growing out of the ac-
ton OF some Of the committees IN reporting
nominations to succeed suspended officials,
which is claimed to be violation of the pro-
gramne adopted ut recent caucus, when it
was decided to suspend action upon all such
cases until the points at issue between the Pres
ident and the Senate were decided. It is
the policy OF Edmunds and other lead
ers to hold in allegiance all Of such nominations
until the President or the members Of tho Cab
met send in the papers called for in suspended
cases, TO either finally reject them or to hang
them up unconfrmed until the end of the SEES
sion. Mr.. Edmunds advances the proposition
that the Senate cannot act intelligently upon a
nomination until IL knows why the vacancy it
is to fill was made by the President, and IL the
latter refuses to furnish such information the
Senate ought TO punish him by refusing to con-
firm the nomination
