President Madison's Love-Maklne.
IGav's Life of Madison.l


Madison seems 20 have never been
youn, man, but during the last winter of
his term in Congress ''yo 18th finally over
tool, him, for he fell in love" The dam
SCI was sixteen; Madison was twice her
age; she was "of more than usual beauty
and of irrepressble vivacity. He was of
extraordinary solemnity. He fell in love
with her, but it was her father, General
William Floyd, signer of the Declaration,
who did the love-making on her SIDE.
They became engaged. But there was
sentimental young clergyman who 'hung
round her at the harpsichord," and who
KIN W how to make love to some purpose.
Mr. Cav says that when she dismissed her
solemn lover ''she sealed her letter-cOn
veyin to him alone, it may be, some mer- Y
but miscellaneous meaning-with bit of rye
dou.h." 1t was cruel blow, and Mr..
Gay quotes sympathizing letter from JEFF
fersoQ;
Il ; merely lament the misadventure
which has happened, from whatever cause
it may have happened. Should 1T be final,
however, the world presents the same and
many other resources of happiness, and
YOU possess many within yourself. Firm
ness of mind and underwriting Occupa-
on will not long leave you in pain. No
event has been more contrary TO my ex-
pectations, and these are founded on what
l thought good knowledge of the ground.
But of all machines ours is the aost COM
pIicated and inexPlicahle."

Smuggling in the Northwest.

Smuggling, says a Victoria, B. c., dis
patch, is being carried on between here and
the United States on gigantic scale. A
large number of citizens of Victoria, it is
said, are engaged in this business, many Of
them having done nothing else for years
during which time they have made them
selves comparatively independent. Tho
most profitable part of the trade is found in
smuggling opium, tobacco and fancy goods
into Washington Territory from Victoria.
The duty on opium is $40 per pound, and
the Chinese will readily take all that can

A Preachers Good Fortune.
IBoston Herald


For thirty -one years Rev. David Walk,
pastor of the Central Christian Church,
indianapolis, Ind, plodded along, confn-
ing his energies to preaching the Gospel,
and paying no attention to the accumula-
ton of worldly goods. Many years ago,
then a pastor at Memphis, he made trip
to Kansas City. While there he observed
a beautiful fve-acre tract of ground some
distance from the city, which was so at
tractive as residence site that he pur-
chased it for $500. He has held it even
since, though it has been unpro-
ductive and calling for heavier
taxes year by year. Much to his
establishment few days ago he received
a letter Offering him 81 900 for the prop
erty This was nice little sum for pir
money, but with an eye to business he de-
clined the proposition, stating that he
hoped to make country residence of the
place some time. The would-be purchaser
wrote back and doubled his first offer. The
next day Mr.. Walk received a telegram
Offering $50, 900 and others offeri@g as high
as 1000 for the property. Finally on in
ouiry. he learned that his five es were
in the heart of Kansas City, and would sell
for almost any price he would ask; and
that, without knowing it, he had gradually
become rich man. He will probably re-
tire from the ministry at the close OF his
year in April, and after spending year IN
looking after his business matters will &C
to Palestine to spend year or more.

on a piece of paper and under it the name
OF the person they wished to marry, then
hand it to the President Tor inspection, and
if any gentleman and lady had recipro-
cally chosen each other the President was
to inform each of the result and those who
had not been reciprocal in their choice kept
entirely secret" After the appointing mt OF
the President communications were accord
ingly handed up to the chair, and it was
found that twelve young ladies and gen.
tlemen had made reciprocal choices, but
whom they had chosen remained secret
to all but themselves and the President.
