MRS. HAWLEY.

Professor Edward North of Hamilton College in the
 Cleveland Earnest Worker" for June.l
 Her maiden name was Harriet Ward Foote. She was relative of the late Ad- miral Foote, and of the author of "Uncle Toms Cabin" The oldest of ten children. she was born ill 1881, on one of those rocky hillside farms iu Connecticut. which so stubbornly Cooperate with the puritan creed in the Schooling of heroic character. She cheerfully accepted the exacting dis cipline of her home life, and grew into the habit of forgetting herself in contriving for others, of making the best of insuffi- ciencies, ofssympathizing with the needy and distressed, and above all of believing that loyalty to the truth and conscience and duty would always lead to good re- suits. In the village school she was the chosen leader, who planned the outdoor sports, quelled the insolent bully, protect ed the feeble, and nipped rebellion in the bud.
 On Christmas day, in 1o55, in Guilford, Conn.,, she became the wife of Joseph R. Hawley. In the spningsof 1861, her hus- enlist for the war to preserve the union. She enlisted with him as completely and unreservedly as If the had donned the sol dier's blue. Her husbands enthusiasm, confidence and dashing EGourage were ad- mlrably supplemented by her endless resources of tact, coolness, good sense and faith. Without a murmur she gave up the dear delights of quiet home for the tumnlt, the coarse fare, the sudden changes, and the dangers of the camp and the ministries>of the hospital. The winter of 1862 found her at Beaufort, s. O., quar- tered in one of it's abandoned dwellings, with it's furniture missing or badly crip- pied, amid strange surroundings, and with such rations as colonel's wife would be entitled to-if they could only be captured. It was one of those cold winters, for which southern dwellings are poorly provided. There was an empty fireplace, but nc wood, and no servant at hand with wit enough to find it. While others were scolding and shivering, Mrs. Hawley made rapid reconnaissance, and quickly return ed with an armful of fuel captured from the picket fence, and cheerful blaze was soon followed by cheerful supper. Il was after one of these triumphs of woman ly ingenuity and enterprise that her hus band said to her, My dear, you are the best fellow I ever knew"
 This hearty praise was well deserved some months later, when Colonel HawleJ was quartered with part of his regimen at St. Augustine. There had been re pulse with heavy losses at the assault or Fort Wagner, and Colonel Hawley wal ordered thither with his regiment.

Cst. Louis sunday sayInes.l

A good story on Eugene Field, news paper man formerly engaged in this city, is told:
 ''Gene got telegram from a friend in this city, apprising him that the will of his grandfather, Joshua 0wings, of this city, who died week ago, had been ad- mitted to probate, and that Q snug little legacy of $1 ,000 had been left him. Gene was delighted, and in the fullness of his joy invited ten of his intimate journalistic friends to sup with him at the Chicago press club, intimating that the steward should do the best he could inside of Q $10-a-plate limit. While the supper was iu progress Gene increased the hiarity of the occasion by dilating warmly upon the advantages to be derived from the posses sion of generous grandfather, He also informed the company that he had q strange presentimeut to the effect that the telegraph operator might have made a very important error in the transmission of the message announcing his good for tune For instance, gentlemen,' he said, suppose that there was one more naught which the operator forgot to send at the end of the figures in the dispatch.

 "A message for Mir. Field" the breath less boy cried. ....-...L
 "That's very good boy, and here's n nice round dollar for yourself, Johnny. No answer ; mo-"
 As Gene read the message his face grew as long as a column of sharps and flats on headachy morning and no wonder, for the telegram read

Notwithstanding the depression in busi- ness and the great strikes which have re- tarded progress in an industrial direction, the outlook for railway building this year Is better. than nforsInany years. A detailed record from January to June 30, 1886, compiled from exclusively official state- ments, shows that track laying has already been i'll progress this year in thirty-two of the states and territories on Binety-seven lines, and that no less than l, 755 miles of new main track, not counting sidings and additional tracks, have been added to the railway system of the United States since January l. The mileage laid during the first six months of any year is so. uniform lv less than one-third of the total for the entire twelve months that it may be safely predicted the total new railway mileage of 1886 willEnot fall short of 5000 miles, and may considerably exceed that. This is even greater than some of the. most pros porous business years in the country. The southwestern states seem to have the most activity, although Iowa, Nebraska, Kan sas and Dakota will lay good many miles of track.
 Brooklyn Eagle: It is pretty impossi- ble. don't you know, for everybody-in fact, for some people-to enter into the soulful enthusiasm of an ardent fisherman.

A Mountain Pink" was presented at
the Grand Opera House last night by
the Bella Moore Company. The lower
part Of the house was only partly filled,
while there was large audience in the
gallery. The play is very interesting
and can not fail to interest every one.
Miss Moore is an actress fully up, il not
above the standard. She has a sweet
face, good voice and winning ways.
and always carries the favorable atten-
tion of the audience. In the play,
which is intensely sensational, and one
of the best dramas. she docs some
strong emotional acting which shows her
to be master of her profession. Her
support is strong and show evidence Of
careful study. The introduction Of
songs by Miss Moore does much to carry
the good will Of the house, as her voice
is very clear and strong. and her songs
we'll selected. Tomorrow night "a
Mountain Pink" will be reproduced for
the benefit Of the Native Sons Of the
Golden West. A great many tickets
have been sold and large and fashion
able audience Is assured. The people OF
Los Angeles should not fail to see this
talented actress. This afternoon there
will be matinee and the price of ad-
mission has been reduced to SO ceuts to
all parts Of the house. Mountain
Pink" will also be the attraction.
Manager Wyatt has not neglected to
have ice water passed around during the
acts aud this is greatly appreciated by
the ladies'.
