Oscar Wilde's Ma.

Oscar Wilde is well remembered in
this country, but little is known of his
eccentric mother. Oscar comes nat
urally by his aesthetic ways. Marshall p
Wilder, who recently returned from
London, speaks of Lady Wilde as being
even more eccentric than her two sons.
Her receptions are attended by the most
prominent people in London, and are
much sought after. She receives guests
seated upon throne, with Oscar on her
right and Willie on her left. Every now
and then, in imploring tones, Willie Will
address his mother: Mother. do you
love me?' Then Oscar takes up the
strain: Mother. do you love your Os-
carr Then they will shake hands all
round. Lady Wilde, though quite adj
vanced in years, will insist upon wear
ing her dresses very decollette and pinned
at the breast with brooch containing
the picture of her late lamented hus-
band This brooch. the day Mr.. Wilder
dined with them, would insist upon fall
ing into the soup. Oscar Wilde's dining
room is most peculiar in the design of
its decoration. The entire floor is made
OF glass To represent water. the walls be-
ing decorated in the same style, and the
table is set upon an island in the middle
of the room. The glass and china are
equally unique, the dishes and plate
representing various fishes and the
glasses shells. The tables are waited
upon by young girls in peasant cos

Chicago Nan at the Concert.

My wife took Inc to n Thomas concert and
made me sit III corner and listen 10 de
scriptive music for three hours. The piece de
resistance of the programme was n move
mcnt from the Ocean symphony by Rubin
stein. Ny wife said it represented storm at
sea, but l failed to see where the representa-
ton came III. The blaring OF the tromboncs
and the rolling of the drums We're supposed to
be thunder-so my wife said. l told her that
the noise answered Just as well for a passing
freight train or a scene in "A boiler factory,
but she said L was Philistine. The violin,
walled in the most agoniZing manner, and
this my wife said represented the fury of the
blast
Il defy anybody to detect anything like the
fury of the blast in n tremolo on the violins.
IL might a. well DO service for a bicycle race,
or fight with hard gloves, or 4 comic opera
chorus in distress rs for the fury of the blast.
The shrickS of the piccolo and clarionct my
wife said portrayed the lightning; but l never
heard lightning make such an uncarthly
noise, and it struck me that the walls of those
wood-wind Instruments very much more re-
scmblcd the noise of u pig under a gate. My
wife heard III her minds ear, Horatio, the
signals of distress given by the shipwrcCkcd
mariners, the singing of birds after the storm
and other poetic sounds, but it was all
chaos of empty, meaningless sound To me, and
l was very glad when it was over, that |
might retire TO the refectory and quafr
bumper Of so-called beer."-ChicaSo News.

4 Free Circulating CITY Library.

The late d.. Cocswell, the renowned libra
ran of the Astor library, expressed the opin-
ion many years ago that free circulating
library was impossible, because in five years
any collection of books for that purpose would
be scattered forever, beyond hope OF rcroy-
cry. Bat what is the experience of tn, Ep.-
ton public library: 1t loses only one buu,;
out of every 9,GOJ loaned, or unc-nneticth 81
per cent. The free circulating library Of
New York has had similar experience of the
trustworIhiuosS of the public so far rs Dor
rowed books are concerned, for its LOSES an,
insignificant. We question very much
whether II library like the AStor, whose books
are held for reference merely, does not, il
proportion, suffer more from depreciation,
and limitations than great free circulatn-
library. The scoundrels and vaudals who
steal rare books, or who tear out chapters AMI
plates froIl choice books, are not from anon,
the poor and humble but are men far aboyr
poverty fellows, who do not
resist the temptation to purloin. New York

Accounts of the massacre of Catholic
missionaries and converts i'm Southern
China show that the race of martyrs is
by no means extinct. Father Terrace,
who had lived many years in Hunnah,
when "A mob surrounded his house at
night, gathered his followers in the
chapel, gave the last dissolution, went to
the door and. presenting himself to the
rabble, said: Here am to answer for
ALL" He was at once cut down by sa-
bres. Father Bechet, a young priest in
Tongking, saw a number of his converts
beheaded, and then, refusing to he
bound or blindfOlded. offered his neck
10 the executioner without tremor.
Father Chatelet, ordered to descend to
the place of execution, as hundreds of
his converts had done. said: Il shall
not go so far. If you want my head
come and get it." The swords made
short work of him where he stood.

lowed to vote or exercise his franchise
rights except at the dictation of his mas
tiers. Yet here right in the sight of that
palatial residence in Washington which
Blaine has erected from the fruits of va
rious enterprises in which, as Senator
from Maine, proved no deadhead, we see
him about to show practically the pro-
gress he has made under Southern aus
pices, and the capacity he has developed
under Southern influences.
Nowhere in the country will the negro
have more cordial hope for his success
in this exposition than from the South,
and to no people will he be under greater
obligations than to those of the South,
for having educated him to the point of
being able to get up such an exhibition
as he proposes. To the old Southern
masters and mistresses to whom his pro-
genitors were indebted for their first
ideas of civilization-and whose descend
ants have ever since watched over the
modern negro with more or less of pa
ternal care--is the "poor African" of
to-day indebted for being able to hold
a fair, Just like white people" at the
Federal Capital. The greater the success
of the proposed Washington colored ex-
position, the greater the tribute to the
Southern Democracy and the greater the
rehuke to Northern Radicaism.

Virgins Changed the Location.

Savannah Times: TIE Atlanta Con-
StitutiOR with it's accustomed enter
prise, wired Virgins concerning his
foolish and absurd earthquake proph
ecies, and it seems has run that foxy
fraud to earth. lie now says that the
distur bance he has predicted will take
place somewhere in Central or South
America in locality near the Equator,
far removed from telegraphic or other
means of communication. As the sec
ton of country to which Wig. has so
kindly removed his terrestrial convul-
sion is the home of the earthquake. and
is likely TO experience such visitations
every day in the year. it is not imposs-
ible that something of the sort may &C
cur. If, however, the goth of September
should be remarkably free from any
whatever, but an earthquake
should be felt in any quarter of the globe
at any time during the next year, Wig.
will declare that his prediction was YER
flied, and that he only made a slight
mistake as to dates.

The Progress or the Negro.

The American citizens o: African d.
an early date in Washington the progress
they have MADE ''since freedom" They
are to hold a mechanical and industrial
fair in that city ut which no exhibits of
white men are to be permitted, and only
the handiworl of the colored people of
the country is to be shown.
This is good idea. says the Savannah
Times. 1t has always been favorite
theory among the politicians up North
that the negro of the South has been cir
cumscribed and literally cribbed, cab
ined and confined by the whites. Ac-
cording to them he has been imposed
upon and kept down until neither as
citizen nor as man has he been able TO
manifest himself And yet he now
blooms forth as full-fiedged, progressive
human being, not only capable of pro-
gress, but able to show his capacity to
the admiration of mankind.
But what terrible thorn in the side
must this colored exposition at the Fed
eral Capital prove to the Radical party:
Mr. Blaine, who is by common consent
just now, the leader of that party, is
never so happy in his magnetic political
efforts as when endeavoriDg to show that
in this free country the negro is the most
unfortunate of beings, still a serf and
