There is a mania for relics of the Oregon
among fashionable people, and hear of por-
traits of Mrs. Langtry. picked up of Fire
Island on March 49, selling for 81 and So EACH

soaked photographs in the window of phOto-
graph sales store uptown that | became i'm
pressed with the attention which the ladies
nestOw on photographs Of theatrical stars and
other public characters. In this show window
were two or three hundred such portraits.
There are similar displays in Fourteenth and
Twenty-thlrd streets. In fair weather you
can scarcely find room to pass by on account
of the number of women who stop TO inspect
the pictures. If you top with them you will
be surprised at the whisperIngs you hear pass
from one to another about the beautiful form
OF this or that actress, which not infrequenty

ejaculation, ''Pshaw she has no better figure

Years ago young man in my class in COL
lege conceived the idea Of securing place in
the departments here to enable him to study
Ia Nv meanwhile, and wrote TO Mr. Edmunds
about it. He received the following reply:
WASHINGTON. ID. c., January. 1877.
DEAR SIR:-I have yours of the 18th. I
should be pleased to aid you if possible. but
the chances of your getting place here now
are not more than one in twenty five with all
the aid could give you. There are literally
hundreds of applicants for each vacancy as il
occurs and, truth TO say, Vermont has her
full share Of people IN place here. : i'll tits

come TO You in getting place If you wish To

advise YOU not to come here even If
you can get place. The sort OF law educa-
tion YOU get here, while in a departm emit is of

pose. The average Of lawyers turned ont of

as IL always has been. by men who in poverty

drudgery and ardent labors of a working law
office.
Having thus volunteered advice I remain
yours very truly. GEO. +. EDMUNDs.

that Miller forced of the lid.
The person who packed the box had been

corks from champagne bottles had been
placed on the bottom. and false bottom Ia Il
