Miss fRkANC CE> -. IOl1oo-h.
When Cleveland was nominated at Chica-
go, Mrs. Grundy at once desired to know
who would be the mistress of the White
House, in the event of his election, and one
of the campaign jokes against the President
was his bachelorhood. After the election
rumor connected first this and then that
ladys name with that of Mr.. Cleveland,
but it seems now definitely settled that Miss
Frances c.. Folsom, of Buffalo, n. Y, is to
be the fortunate lady. Miss Folsom has
been soourning in Italy, with her mother,
who is the widow Of an old law partner of
Mr.. Cleveland. The family being in some
what reduced circumstances it is said that
the President offered to defray the expen-
ses of the trip. The marriage is to take
place in the White House in June and is
to be very quiet. This information was
gained from Mrs. Wellington, of Troy, N.
y, who is an intimate friend of the Fol-
SONS. Miss Folsom is an extremely hand
some girl, about twentyone years of age.
She has dark hair and eyes, matchless
complexion, coupled with a perfect phys
ique and manner which bespeaks the lady
of birth and breeding. She is highly educa-
ted and is graduate of the West College
at Aurora, n. Y. That she will, in virtue
of her talents and beauty, hold the foremost
position in fashionable circles in Washing
ton cannot be doubted.

ing, he added as he took her hand and
pressed his lips upon it, II suppose l may
do this, at any rate, without offending you
and I thank you for what you told me-I'l
try and live on that for a little while. But
Susie, you won't be too hard on me, hope
you won't keep me waiting forever?"
"No, not forever. Tom, please don't stay
any longer now."
"Good-night, then-I'm off. When may
see you again."
"Oh, in week or so, perhaps"
"Oh-hw
But Susie gave him gentle push, which
sent him off at last and when the garden
gate was fairly closed behind him, she sal
down on the steps and broke into fit o.
passionate crying. "Oh," she said aloud
through her tears, "I wish ] hadn't told
him that! 1 wish hadn't! Why did
let him drag it out of me? 1 meant to keeE
it secret all my life. But I won't marry
yeti won't; no not for ten years to come
Why can't he give me up and be done with
it? It doesn't matter about me. I can con-
tent myself as am. He ought to forget
me and marry somebody else."
Her sobs gradually spent their force and
died away. She sat silent for few mo-
ments, drawing occasionally long, culver
ing breath then half-whispered plant
broke from her still tremulous lips.
"Oh! Amos, Amos, if had only made
you better Wife!'
There was rustic in the shadow near her
and low moan breathed like an echo
through the leaves.
But she did not hear it, or if she did, il
seemed to her only that the night-wind
sighed. Presently she rose from her lowly
seat and went into the house. AS she van
ished, the man who had been listening made
step forward out of the darkness, and
stretched his arms out toward thespot where
she had stood, embracing the empty air as
though he could enfold her form within his
clasp.
"My witen' he murmured, brokenly.
"Oh my wife!"
He stood there for a moment, motionless
then, with swift and silent steps, departed as
he had come.
"Now," he said to himself, as he retraced
his way homeward, ~ can hesitate no lon.

in order to secure her happiness, and I shall
take it at once. What is my life, compared
to her suffering? My choice between the
| two is made"

HON. HOWELL II. JACkSON.
On April 10Th, 1856, President Cleveland
nominated Howell +. Jackson, of Tennes-
see, to be Circuit Judge of the United States
for the 9th Judicial Circuit. The nomina.
tion was Immediately confirmed by the
Senate. Hon. Howell Edmunds Jackson
was born at Paris, Tennessee, April Sth, 1882
He graduated at West Tennessee College in
1S4S, and subsequently spent two years at
the University of Virginia. He graduated
from the Cumberland Law School. In 1856
he began the practice of law in Jackson,
but removed to Memphis in 1859. When
the war broke out he was appointed to a
civil position under the Confederate Gov.
ernment, and on the return of peace re.
sumed the practice of law in Memphis, but
removed to Jackson again, in 1876. On two
occasions he had served for brief periods as
Judge of the State Supreme Court, by ap'
pointment, and in 1878 was a prominent can
didate for the Democratic nomination for a
similar position. In 1880, he was elected tc
the State Legislature from Madison county
and has always been a staunch advocate OF
honest dealing with the creditors of the
State. In January, 1881, while member
of the Legislature, he was elected to the
United States Senate. The contest was a
bitter and protracted one, the Democratic
majority being split into State-credit and
low-tax factions. At one time, the late
Horace Maynard, came within three votes
Of being elected, few Democrats joining
the Republicans in voting for him. Final
ly, on the thirtieth ballot, a Republican
member voted for Judge Jackson, STAN.
pede ensued, and he was triumphantly elect
ed. Judge Jackson has not figured conspic.
uously in the Senate, but he has been an
honest, Woodworking member, popular
with both parties, as he is in his State. The
Circuit of which he is made Judge, includes
Tennessee, Kentucky, Ohio and Michigan
THE WILL on TIE HEARTHSTONE.- =
When was boy heard of lawyer who
was called up in the middle of cold win
ter's night to draw out the will of an old
farmer who lived some three miles away,
and who was dying. Tne messenger had
brought cart to convey the lawyer to the
farm, and the latter in due time arrived at
house he was Immediately ushered into the
sick room, and then he requested to be sup
piled with pen, ink, and paper. There
were none in the house! The lawyer had
not brought any himself, and what was he
to doo No; they had none. The farmer
was sinking fast, though quite conscious.
At last the legal gentleman saw chalked up
on the back of the bedroom door column
upon column of figures in chalk. These
were milk "scores" or "shots." He imme-
diately asked for piece of chalk, and then
kneeling on the floor, he wrote out concise
ly upon the smooth hearthstone the last
will and testament of the dying man. The
farmer subsequently died. The hearth
stone will was sent to the principal registry
in London with special aftidavits, and was
duly proved the will being deposited in the
archieves Of the registry. l may mention
that the law does not state what substance
what or with instrument will must be
written.-CH Chambers Journal.

A BLADE OF GRAss.-"Gather," says
Ruskin, "a single blade of grass, and exam
inc for moment, quietly, its narrow, sword
shaped strip of fiuted green. Think of it
well, and judge whether, of all the gorgeous
flowers that beam in summer air, and of all
strong and goodly trees pleasant to the eyes
or good for food, there be any by God more
highly graced, by man more deeply loved,
than that narrow point of feeble green.
Consider what we owe to the meadow grass,
to the covering of the ground by that glo-
rious enamel, by the companies of those soft
and countless and peaceful spears"
