terra; La fin du monde arrivera"-which means

The new bishop of Ely, Lord Alwynne Comp
ton, comes of about the most cultivated aristo-
cratic family in England and one which has
already given an eminent preate to the episco-
pate In the person of that militant prelate who
donned armor and jack boots in 1858, Bishop
Compton, of London. He occupied the see
the first TO introduce into England many foreign
trees and shrubs, notably those of North Amer

MRS. EvARTs, the wife of the New York Sen
ator, is a sensible, well-mannered lady with no
pretentions to aesthetic dressing. She sees visi
tors promptly and thus spares busy people the
agony of waiting To them the plain, black
stuff dress and linen collar she appears in is the
extreme Of elegance Mrs. Eyarts wears her
white hair combed back from her face and bound
with black ribbon. She has merry brown eyes
and kindly face. The house occupied by the
Evartses is in a fas.,i enable neighborhood, few
doors from that which is making ready for Sec

NOBLE nincompoops seem to be Lord Sails
bury's favorites for garters His first choice fell
on the Duke of Northumberland the next on
Lord Abergavenny. who, if he had not been
born in the purple would have been an absolute
nonenity. He never even took degree at col
lege, and, it was said. could not have passed for
his step in the Life Guards. He never sat in
the House of Commons, and has kept all his
eloquence entirely to himself in the House of
Lords, his services to his party having simply
been those of sort of parliamentary watch dog
at the party clubs. Men like Lord Dufferin or
Lord Lyons are not deemed worth what is given
to the most ignorant of country gentlemen.
ONE of the daughters of Mrs. Elizabeth Cady
Stanton gives amusing account of the way
her mother and Miss Susan B. Anthony work
together on their History of Woman Suffrage"
Mrs. Stanton is stickler for the philosophy of
the suffrage movement and Miss Anthony is
punctilious about dates. The two dear old ladies
often get into excited discussions over Their sub
Ject, and dip their pens into their mucilage bot
ties and their mucilage brushes into their ink
bottles in their excitement over their work
They sit at opposite sides of a large double desk
IN Mrs. Stanton's library, and occasionally they
find each other so persistent in opinion that they
sit back and stare at each other in silence that
is very near anger. Once in a while they will
march out of the room by different doors, and
there seems likelihood that their beautiful friend
ship of forty years will be broken, but after
while they will be found peaceably at work
again together
