She loves Europe. She is here with hcl
parents only for short stay, and ther
will return to the land where she has
made so many conquests.
1t is said that this girl comes rightly by
her good looks and polish. Her ances,
tors for five generations have been ladies
and gentlemen of means and intelligence
There is no affectation about her, and
her dress is in such perfect taste-rich
and plain--that it defes description.
While she is interested in England, she
seems still to be in love with her native
land. Taking it all in all, there is moth,
ing especially wonderful in this young
lady, except her good sense and self pos,
session. She has been flattered enough tc
lie spoiled, but seems to have escaped
this misery. OF course, her face is her
fortune, in addition to the money she
possesses. In our life she would attra Il
no more attention than hundreds OF
other girls over whom we do not rave.
But for the wide publicity that has been
given to the shape of her form and face,
she would be lost among the crowd of al
most as pretty women you can see every
day along our thoroughfare.

Cost Her Weight in Gold.

Mrs. Jesus Castro, an aged Mexican
lady, now residing at American Flag, in
the Santa Catili"a mountains, is perhaps
the only woman who, literally speaking,
ever cost her husband her weight in
gold. 1t is said that in the early gold
digging days of California she was a
resident Of Sonora, in which State she
was born and grew to womanho d. When
about the age of seventeen a ratcrnal
unc,e, but few years her semi r, re-
turned with his companio Is, gold laden,
from the Ell Dorado of the West and b :
came desIe atcly enamorcd of her. He
sought her hand in marriage and was ac-
cepted, but the church refused. because
of the near relationship existing between
them to solemnizc the marriage Per-
suasion being in vain, he tried the power
OF gold to win his way, and succeeded
only by the payment of her weight in
gold. She at the time weighed III
roands, and against her in the scales the
glittering dust was shovel,d Her af-
tinccd husband still had sufficient of
this worlds goods to provide comfort
abl' home, and they were married. They
lived happily together. and she bore to
her husband eleven children. In the
course of years ! C died and she married
again, Mr.. Cast being her second hus-
band. The alb we is a fact and not tic
ton, as living witnesses can prove.

A young Englishman arrived in Ham,
ilton, Cnt,, several months ago, desti-
tute of money and friends. The Mayor,
after investigation, gave him money,
and the Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton helped him BY and by he got
work. Now comes the climax of this
remarkable story. He paid the Mayor
the money he had got from him, and
left with HIM a like amount for the next
unfortunate that might need it, and he
paid the Christian Association people for
every bit of food he had received at
their hands.

EPiSTOLARY ETHICS.
Why . Gentleman or Lady Should Answe
Every Letter Received.

Why . Gentleman or Lady Should Answer
Every Letter Received.
The man who deliberately and in
tentionally neglects to acknowledge q
gentleman's letter is blackguard.
The mere fact that the letter be of no
profit to the receiver, and that to send
an answer will inure in no way to his
benefit, is no excuse for neglecting to
pay this debt which every man owes to
society. Every man is born into the
world under certain obligations to the
community. and it is on the condition
of his honestly meeting these obliga-
tions that he can lay claim to member
ship in that community with its at
tendant rights and privileges. Among
these duties is that of aiding in the
protection of your fellow from physi-
cal or moral outrage. If this duty
were not fully recognized the crowded
streets of city at broad noon woulS
be no more secure for the traveller than
the most lonely Western road at mid
night. And persons character would
be no more secure from aspersion in a
public assembly than in the most Sc
cluded chamber. The robber and the
slanderer could "gang their ain gait"
without hitch or hindrance. There
are many other duties and debts to
which a human being falls heir the
moment he breathes the breath of life,
which we will not enumerate, but re-
turn to this matter rofanswering letters.
There are, of course, many letters
which require no answer, such as those
editors and business men often receive,
such as merely contain some suggestion
or information. There are other letters
which deserve no answer. 1t is not to
these We refer, but to the ordinary
respectful letters which gentlemen are
in the habit of writing to each other.
Not to acknowledge one of these is an
objectionable solecism. Yes, it is
worse than a solecism, it is an imper-
tinence. Naturally there may be many
excuses tor neglect-ill health, great
press of business. domestic affection,
etc.
Some people claim that they are so
overwhelmed with correspondence that
they can not attend to it all. In such
cases the person is generally of sutfi-
cient Importance to be able to afford q
secretary.
We Americans are sadly derclict
both in this matter and in that of keep
ing appointments, and were we to
carry this National habit into Europe
we should soon find ourselves dropped
Ito use the mildest term) out of all de-
cent society. But fortunately we are
an observant and adaptive people, and
readily "catch on" to the usages of
those with whom we come in contact,
and SO save our dignity and our status.
