A Portrait at the Exhibition.
She wears great big bonnet
With a bunch of roses on it,
And It's tied beneath her chin
In bow;
Altho' she looks so shy,

As the restless crowd pass slowly
To and fro.
Now, do you think she'd care
If some day / should dare
To speak to her, and ask her
What's her name!
Alasl tho fair, she's mute,
She'd never heed my suit
For she's nothing but picture
In frame. Life.

From Youngstown, O., comes the story of
a blind man, who is as remark able in his
way as the late Peter Fawcett the British

both show what a man can do who has a
determined will, though he is deprived Of
the first and greatest of the five senses.

The type was cast wedge-shaped; that is.

fitted. The ends of the "lead," in turn,
fitted into slot in the column rules and
these latter were bolted to the cylinder.

OF doing it.

The Inventor of "InnOcuOus Desuetude."
OF the historic twenty-six persons who
gathered around the festal board at
the sumptuous "stand up" wedding
supper of President Cleveland, four
were wives of cabinet officers. These la
dies were called from private life to a semi
official social position when their husbands
accepted the various portfolios of their re-
spective departments, They appear to be a
harmonious gathering of women, on the
whole. The country has heard less of that
petty and dsgraceful pickering about who
shall go ahead Of whom and which shall sit
nearest the president at state dinners than
usually gets to the public ear in such cases.
The cabinet ladies have certainly done their
best to make President Cleveland's adminis-
tration social success They seem to have
been equal throughout to the arduous social
duties required OF them-duties so wearing
that in the beginning, poor, sweet Kate Bay
ard succumbed to the strain. They are
courteous, dignified, handsomely DIRE 'sed and
hospitable. Our readers will be glad to see
