Puz<led About a ThtBtbIe.

1t is very lamentable to confess how
little we really know, considering all we
are supposed to know, about the boss Co
nundrum Of natural history-woman.
This is especially true Of the semi-artih-
cial creature Of the present age, the artis-
tically founced, futed and furbelOwed
paradox Of the upper tertiary formation,
geologically speaking. Only yesterday
a case in point occurred which proves two
thing, first, that we don't know all we
think we know, and second, that when q
thing is too obvious it becomes proper
tionately mysterious. One gentleman
propounded to three other gentlemen col
lectively the question: On which finger
does lady wear her thimble when sew
ing? One Of the trio answered promptly,
the thumb. Another one was sure that
it was the index finger, while the third
maintained that it was the one which,
from its utter uselessness for any other
purpose, is known as the ring finger.
Such diversity Of positive opinions fail
ed to settle the question, 50 an appeal
was taken by telephone to a Supreme
Court having appellate and original juris-
diction in such grave matters. OF course
it was the middle finger The fable
teaches Us that it takes at least more than
three men to know all about one woman.

THE SPINET.

In gown Of white at sunset light
She sits and plays upon the Spinet,
And falling clear upon his ear
Come forth the dainty airs within IT,
Unconsciously her fingers stray
His heart-strings DER, as on the spinet
Love makes him weak he dares not speak
His coward tongue cannot begin II.
The twilight falls adown the walls,
Yet softly on her fair form fingers
\ last red glow, as, 10th TO go,
The sun leaves kisses on her fingers.
The moments fly, her faint hopes die
And vanish with the fading day;
The airs grow sad that once were glad,
And Love, discouraged. creeps away.
They both are gone. Now, quite forlorn,
In dusty attic stands the spinet-
And naught remains TO mark Loves pains
Except the airs she found within 1t.

4 LOVE THOUGHT.

If thou vert only, love- a tiny flower,
And butterfly with gaudy wings,
Fitting to changing scenes each changing hour,
Careless of aught save that which pleasure
brings
Not even could leave the loliest glade
That held thy lovelineSs within its shade.
If thou vert but a streamlet in the vale,
And ! sailor on the stormy sea,
Flying through whirling foam beneath the gale,
Chartless in all that wild immensely
Thy murmuring voice would echo in my soul
Though bowling storm or crashing thunderroll
If, darling. thou vert but far-off star,
And l a weary wanderer DER the plain,
Unwilling of celestial worlds afar,
And knowing naught of all the shining
train
My glance would single out thy ray serene,
Though blazing sun and planets rolled between
Yes, dear one, thou art these to me and more
My flower, whose radiance passeth all decay
My streamlet of sweet thoughts in endless
store;
Ny star to guide my steps to perfect day;
Ny hope in earth's dark dungeon of despair ;
My refuge mid life's weary MONDAY glare.

From the Washington Critic.
,JEDGE WAXEM'S THEOLOGY.
His Vieics Of Sunday observance aud
Sectarianism tn General.

Yesterday morning, as the Critic scribe
came out of church, he overlook Jedge
Waxem, the new member from Way
near the front door. The Jedge wore n
clean paper collar, a nice pair of cellu-
loid cuffs an unrufIied shirt front, new
suit Of clothes and look of cheerful res
ignation.
"Ah, Jedge," said the scribe, good
morning. This is the first time I've seen
you at church"
"P'raps," replied the Jedge with a
smile, signifying that possibly it was the
first time the scribe had been there.
"You are not here every Sunday
"No, but | go every Sunday. It's a
weakness of mine that I've never tried to
break myself Of | always here SER
mon by somebody on Sunday"
Grain or shine?"
Grain er shine. I've noticed that
when the dark clouds of trouble comes
down around us, we air quickern ever to
fly to the Lord, and | don't see the con
sistency of Ayin' tother way when it
clears off.
"Are you a member, Jedge?"
"No, | am sorry to say I'm not. |

Mrs. Riegsi to Appear ON the Stage,

from the New York World.
Through adyerisity and ambition the stage
constantly receives recruits from the draw
ing room, and ON the whole the record of
the society women who have adopted the
stage as profession has been one of sue
cess. The latest-a handsome Philadel phia
blonde, well.known in Quaker City circles
Mrs. lie l.. Riegel, wife OF A. b. Riegel, of
the late we'll known firm Of Reigel, Scott *
Co, of Philadelphia, is to appear in October
at the Temple theatre in that city as the
leading lady in the new comic opera entitled
the Mystic Isle" This is by the author q
the "iittle Tycoon" Sydney Rosenfeld, and
the music by Brandt Mrs, Riegel has been
known in society for her beautifully trained
voice and her wonderful cross country rid
ing. She is always in the first flight, and the
Orange county hunt knows well her grace
ful, erect figure, her firm seat in the saddle
and her own and her hunters ambition to
lead throughout the most diiiicult riding.
She can always be seen well TO the 'front.' aud
she rides straight, never pausng TO look for
gates or hunt easy leaps. Financial difficul-
tes have swept away the hunter, however,
with good many other things and she has
turned where impoverished women are turn
ing more every day, whenever they have the
requisite voice and appearance, to the stage.

A Natural Result.

The officious attempts of the Philadel-
pbia Press to stir up strife in the Demo-
cratic party have had their natural and
very gratifying result. The Democracy of
the state very properly .sresent the inter-
meddling of rabid, unscrupulous, opposi-
ton, partisan orgaI, whose only hope for
its own lost cause and losing ticket is to
weaken the Democracy by provoking
internal trouble. In this it has signally
failed. The Democrats of the counties vet
having delegates to elect are choosing
representative men, in spirit fairness to
all interests, of harmony and conci liation
No faction is having triumph and no selfish
interest, dictates names or policies.
The several county conventions held last
week and those yet to be held give promise
of sending delegates whose voice in the
councils of the party will be for wise, dis
Greet nominations, consistent with what
must be the policy of the party in the cam
paign and its past principles and professions.

WING HIS F1SS.
How President Roberts Had to Pay His Fare
One TIME.

How President ROBERTS had 10 ray his rare
One TIME.
From the Newark Call.
There is a general interchange of passes
among railroad men, and the president and
vice president OF the Pennsylvania railroad
have passes all over the country. President
Roberts is a very strict man. Sue very
stormy day in winter he got on the New York
division and took seat in the middle car.
The conductor knew him, as we all do, and
when he passed him the president simply
nodded. 1t was catch, and Roberts was
only trying to see if his man would break the
rules and not make him show his pass. The
conductor fell into the trap. When he passed
through the train again Roberts arose from
his seat and, tapping him on the shoulder,
said:
See here, you have not seen my pass"
No, SIR" taltered the conductor, "but-
but know who you are
THAT makes no difference, retorted Rob-
erts with a trown, " the rules are made to be
obeyed and not to be broken. The rules
laid down for your guidance say that any
passenger who has neither ticket nor a
pass must pay his fare or else you must eject
him from the train"
a. know it," replied the conductor, but,
&" No butts Now you may 60"
" | haven't sven,your pass yet, though, de-
murely remarked the ucket-punCher, wish
ing 20 demonstrate the thOrOughness OF the
lesson.
"Thars right" replied Roberts approx
ingly, "make no difference between the
president OF the road and the poorest passen-
ger"
He reached in his inside coat pocket and
then into his vest pocket His face grew
red and he fumbled around his hip pockets.
The conductor grinned. Roberts sailOw
complexion grew paler aud then redder. He
went through his pockets again, but no
passes. The conductors smiles grew more
expansive.
" Humph ~ eclaimed the president
"SIngular Just stop as you pass this way
again"
The conductor stopped and the president
dryly handed him 81 bill and told him to
take out the fare. He had left his book of
passes at his office.

JusT over the Texas border in Pasodel Norte
afever of excitement reigns; an American edi.
tor is in JAIL and large body of troops are
under arms The air is hot with magnificent
Spanish oaths against the " Americanos" 4" an d
although Secretary Baysrd has expressed his
confidence in the immediate release of Editor
Cutting, the dispatches from the scene of the
trouble say that Mexico is determined 10 re
tain him.
The truth is that the spirit OF revolution is
rife in those parts, and the release OF Cutting
might be made the pretext for an uprising,
so that the Mexican government will not ven
ture it until troops have been massed in suffi-
cient numbers to repress an outbreak.
A mile or so away the garrison Of Fort
Bliss is undisturbed by all the turmoil, wait
ing calmly for something to turn up and
ready to act when few telegrapbic taps
bring orders to that effect from Washington,
or when Mexican threats become aggressive
acts.
1t is to be hoped the matter will soon be
settled; for these things are tiresome in warm
weather.
