THE RICHEST OF WOMEN.
The south American Lady who II
said 60 Have That Title.

The south American Lady who II
Said 60 Have That Title.
Inotice an interesting paragraph in an
English journal which informs us that a
Leith firm has just completed handsome
screw steam-launch which has just been
built to the order of Mrs. Couseno, South
American lady, who is reported to be the
richest woman in the world. The launch,
which is built of steel, Is twenty-five feet in
length and isto be employed as tender to
her large yacht. (The large yacht is en-
gagged at present in the unpretending bnt
profitable trade Of carrying Goals from Lots
TO valparaiso.) II is deliberately fitted up in
polished mahogany and is to be dispatched
forthwith by one of the mail steamers from
Liverpool for conveyance to Chill.
Besides being the richest lady in the
world, she also enjoys the singular privi-
lege of being Empress over tract Of ter
ritory called Lota, which lies some two or
three hundred miles TO the south of the
port. It may appear strange to speak Of an
Empress in the heart of 0 free republic, but
nevertheless the fact exists, and so abso-
lutte are her Majesty's powers that there are
few of her subjects who would be resel-te
and courageous enough to claim the posses
sion of their own immortal souls, or vino
would not be prepared to deny that on the
making of the place special arrangement
was made with reference to coal deposits
between the Divinity and the reignins
monarch.
| During her absence the government is
carried on, much as it is Ireland, by means
OF viceroy, with the exception that while
the Irish are not unfrequently rebellious
aud troublesome and actually lay claim to
the right Of having slight say in their des-
TIMES either in this world or in that which
is to come, such supernatural effort
never enters the simple and accomplishing
minds of the population of this remarkable
portion Of Gods footstool. And why
should it be otherwise? The Viceroy or
boss Pasha and his court have been no long
accustomed to licking and cleaning the boots
of their sovereign mistress and passing along
their own in return to their subordinates,
who preform similar but humber task
and keep the ball rolling always downward,
that II would be at once q dangerous and
unkindly action to persuade them that they
are featherless bipeds and not officiating
nutomatons.

The people of the United States know
but little about Washington, and Of the 6o,-
DOC, 900 which we have now in the country,
perhaps 80, 000, 900 have never visited the
capital. II is the finest national capital in
the world, and travellers who have gone
the rounds of the globe say that they have
never seen anything to equal it. 1t now
contains over 210, 900 people, and its citizens
spend more money proportionately than
those Of any other city in the United States.
It lies in sort Of basin on the banks OF the
Potomac, which is q mile wide where IT
flows by it. Great hills surround this
basin, sloping almost abruptly up from
Boundary street, which bounds the city on
the north, and rising upward from the
banks on the other side of the river. Some
of these hills are wooded, and on many OF
them residences are now being built. 1t IL
supposed that they will in the future
form the most fashionable parts Of the
Capitol City.
The Capitol is in the exact centre OF
Washington, and oil the streets are laid out
at right angles to it. The lettered streets
run one way and the numbered another,
aud the numbering of the city is so arrans-
ed that you can tell at a glance just where
house IL located by its number and street.
All Of the streets of Washington ore wide,
and the avenues which cross them in a
diagonal way are wider still. They ara
paved with dark gray asphalt, and are as
smooth as floor from one end to the other.

In the New York bar not much attention
is paid to realities or the science Of the law,
but to the commercial record of the law
firm. Conkling's income for the last year is
thought to have been about 800, 900, which
is probablyssas high as man can get even
in New York. asked man quite equal
10 him how he stood as lawyer. The
reply was, "Why, he goes up there like q
character newly arrived from q strange
wild land and rolls off vocabulary as big
as the spots on the tattoed man. When he
ia done nobody quite knows which sido he
has been on, but there is something about
his manner which comedies the case to him.
He is grand bulldozer." The firms
which stand highest in money-making are
Evarts, Choate a. Beaman, the latter, be-
lieve, O son-in-law of Mr.. Eyarts; Wander
poel, Green & Corning; Alexander * Green |;
the two Greens above are brothers. One Of
them lives at Elizabeth, N. J. The Greens
and Alexanders have their association about
Princeton College and they are bottomed
upon old orthodox Presbyterian ancestors.
You will he surprised to hear that the two
sciences of law and church-going have an
intimate connection in New York. Probably
DR.. Halls church, which was founded by
the Alexander family, is the chief citadel of
clients and lawyers in New York; some of
the Judges, like vanvornt, get both their
law and gospel from DR.. Halls sermons.
A successful new firm in New York is that
Of Dillon & Swnyne. Dillon was notable
United States Judge west of the Mississippi
river, whose knowledge Of railroad law
attracted Jay Gould anil others, who desired
him to go to New York and serve them.
He resigned and went into business with
Wager Swayne, of Ohio, who was on the
Supreme bench at Washington. They pro-
badly stand at the head Of railroad lawyers
in New York. Swayne is bold, deep
chested pleader, with an easy grasp upon
language and ideas.

DEATH or REV. ?. a. srupp1roRp. DID.


Rev. Peter Augustus Studdiford, d. D.,
for over twenty years pastor of the Pres
byterian Church in this city, died at his
home last Monday evening. DIR. Stud
diford's health had been on the decline
for some months, but it was not until a
week before his death that any alarm
was felt as to his case, when pneumonia
set in, and he grow worse and worse un-
til his death ensued.
DR., Studdiford was native of Lam
bertville. His boyhood days were pass
ed here in preparation for college. and
after passing through college and semi
nary, be became pastor of the Milford
Presbyterian Church, and subsequently
ofthe Belleyille Dutch Reformed Church,
succeeding in the latter church the Rev.
T. Dewitt Talmage. AT the death of
his father, who served the church here
for over forty years, he was called to
the pastorate. and in his twenty years of
his ministry here he has by his manly
and consistent course of life, won the
respect of all classes of people.
He was a man of learning and Of studi-
GUS habits deep rather than brilliant,
and free from everything that savored
of tho sensational and the insincere. He
was preacher who believed in indoctri-
mating his people in the truth, and he
preached no uncertain gospel. Those
who cared to think could not but be
benefited and instructed by his teach
ing.
Not only was he an able preacher but
he was a consistent Christian man. His
life testified to his faith. His was not a
narrow mind, but he reioiced in the sue
cess OF the churches of other faiths, and
showed his love and goodwill to them
in innumerable instances.
he was affable, kind-hearted and gen.
erous, and had smile and pleasant
word for every one.
His death is loss to the Christian
Church and to the community. Loved
by many and respected by all, he leaves
the SAVIOR of a good name, and well
spent life.

GUM CHEWING.


Practice Originating Among the
Barbaric Tribes of Africa.
The origin of chewing is unknown"
said manufacturer who was in Detroit the
other day, and it is impossible to definite
" decide what people to charge with its
invention. Dealers who sell it, and the
manufacturers who make it, profess pro-
found ignorance Of its genesis, while sn-
wants differ as to where the practice origi-
mated. The majority of persons who have
given the subject investigation are disposed
to truce the practice to the barbaric tribes
of Africa, whose women find the resinous
gum which the tropic sun causes to exude
from the trees and chew it. It is probable
that this custom was introduced into the
Southern States by African slaves, who
found the pine trees of the South as pro-
life in gum as the trees of their native for
ests. The white women Of that section at
that time were almost entirely given to the
nauseating habit of dipping snuff ii. e.,
:ubbing it over their gums with the frayed
ends of piue stick. In time they adopted
he more clearly and healthy custom of
their slaves, and the pine tree gum became
their favorite, largely superseding the snuff
dip. An observing Yankee travelling
through the South in ante-bellum days
noticed the feminine gum habit and saw
prospective fortune in manufacturing an
artificial gum of superior flavor to that
gathered in the woods. A little rancid tai
low, trife of gum-arabic mixed together
and hardened, then cut into small cubes
and wrapped in colored paper, constituted
the chewing gum Of twenty years ago.
The mixture found ready sale among
Southern women, and in time demand
grew up for it in the cities of the North.
Gum-chewing in a few years spread rapidly
among the lasses of the East, and finally
crossed the Alleghenies and swept over the
West like wildfre.
There is no basis upon which to est
mate the percentage of American women
who chew gum, but the number has been
put at from one-half to two-thirds of the
feminine population. The practice is con-
fined to no particular class. The lady in
her parlor and the maid in the kitchen exer-
else their jaws over the tasteless substance
with the same industry. It is far more
common among women than chewing tobac-
co is with men,"
:" Who are the greatest users Of the stuff ?"
Probably the girls employed in the
large factories are Tho most confirmed gum.
chewers. A walk along Gratiot and Michi,
gan avenues in the evening, when those
thoroughfares are thronged with girls
returning from work, shows about every
other one assiduously plying her jaws"
