cat the studio of a young portrait
painter" says a London correspondent,
81 saw yesterday q picture which was
very curious in its subject. 1t contained
two upright figures---one, that of n
swarthy Indian raiah covered with
jewels and wearing the star of India
upon his breast, the other, a tall ana
lovely English girl of about eighteen,
in a pink dress, her hair gathered be-
hind by a ribbon and falling loose again.
The rajah is smiling the smile Of proud
possessorship, and the girl is looking
with a somewhat bewildered air at her
future lord. They are two real
people. She is the daughter
of an English chemist, and
her parents have consented to her mar
riage with the Raiah, who, after the
ceremony, will take her out to his do
minions. One instance of such mar
range between christian maid and pa
gan man is very we'll known and has
turned out a decided success. A Miss
King, the daughter of u governor of an
English jail, married about thirteen
years ago 1.-THE Shereef of Oran," who
is the spiritual head of the empires of
Morocco. The Shereef, who is a des-
cendant of Of the Prophet, on marrying
Miss King, %renounced all his other
wives, whom he lodged in an asylum at
Tangier, which it is a part of his duty
to keep up for the refugees from the
secular power, and he moreover gave'to
his son by his christian wife, the Sacred
Stick, the possession of which at the
time of the Shereef's death determines
the succession amongst his children to
his sacred Office and great possessions.

MOTHER.

The Neglected Grave in the Woods o
Indiana.
The Centryville, Ind, correspondent
of the st. Louis Globe sends the follow
ing to his paper: In a neglected piece
of woodland on the outskirts of Lincoln
City, Is the grave of President Lin
coins mother. A marble slab four feet
in height, and almost buried in a dense
growth of weeds and dog wood, bears
this inscription:
Omaha daily bee., 1888-05-27
NANCY HANKS LINCOLN,
MOTHER OF
PRESIDENT LINCOLN.
Died October 5, A. D., 1878, aged So
years. Erected by q Friend of /.
Her Martyred Son, 1879.

.......-........~
AT the foot of the grave is a small
marble foot-stone with the letters IN.
H. L." engraved upon it. Surrounding
this grave are the graves of seven other
persons, but there are no stones or mon
uments to identify the occupants of any
of them, and all are sadly neglected.
The deserted spot is but a short distance
from the highway, but is SO situated
that it can be reached only by crossing
cultivated fields. With the proper
efforts the place might be made very
attractive, however, and there is some
talk among the people here of beautify-
ing it and erecting a more costly stone
over the Lincoln grave. The place is
seldom visited by strangers and rarely
by the people living ~hereabouts.
Not more than 900 yards north of the
grave is the spot upon which stood the
house in which lived President Lincoln
while a young man. 1t was made of logs,
of course, and was situated on a small
rise of clayish looking ground. Not a
vestige of the old structure remains.
The writer frequently visited the
house before it succumed to the ravages
OF time and the elements, as his uncle
lived on and cultivated for years that
which has passed into history as the
Lincoln farm. Just back of the spot
where h house used to stand runs the
Cannellton branch of the road.
Time has nearly obliterated all traces
the Lincolns here, save the lonely
Grave in the deserted wood.
Lincoln City is so named because it is
situated on the site of the old home
stead. 1t had II population of about two
dozen families,an is the junction of the
Evansville, Cannellton & Rockport di-
vision of the Louisville, Evansville 81
st. Louis railroad. Some eastern CAPT
%talists, a few years ago, made an at
tempt to boom the place, but, despite
the magnetism of the name, the boom
was not successful, an it is very doubt
full if the place ever grows in popuia-
ton, as the land surrounding it is of a
very poor quality.
Some of the old inhabitants of this VI
entity tell how, in 1874, when Lincoln
was an elector-at-large on the ticket
with Henry Clay, he visited the home
of his boyhood, squared his back up
against the old stone school house and
talked to his old friends and neighbors.

the hoariness of the age. The limitation in
the tenth section of the act of March 3, 1868,
should be removed forthwith, and all claims
be submitted to an impartial adjudication.
Thus the relief to congress and claimants
furnished by the Bowman act of 1883 would

nMother.in-Law."

A romantic story from Clayton
county, Georgia, says the Pittsburg
Times. Back in '69 one Mann fell in
love with a local beauty, and all ar
engagements for their wedding were
made; but subsequently the father-in-
law ~interposed an objection to the young
mar because Of his politics. The bride,
too, suddenly became adverse TO marry
ing him on that account, and so on the
day of their wedding she was united
with another sutton. The rejected
groom at inc disposed of his property
in the county and removed to Texas,
whore he has since lived, and is said to
have grown rich. About a year ago he
visited tho scene of his country days to
find hat his sweetheart had "a daughter,
aged eighteen, who bore a striking re-
semblance to her mother. He lost no
time in proposing to her. She accepted,
and this week is set for the wedding
which will make his old-time love his
mother-in-law instead Of his wife.

Facilitating but panzerons sp,rt.

The most intensely fascinating aud by
far the most dangerous way of hunting
the Bengal tigers is the way most of the
natives do it. They collect in throngs Of
hundreds and 60 to the woods, with half
bred bull and terrier dogs, rifles Of 40
esliber and innumerable spears, and drive
the tigers out of their iungles- The vicious
dogs GO in and hound them and snarl and
howl threateningly. The tigers are grad
ually driven from point to point by the
bowling dogs and shrieking natives, and
are finally worked into a gigantic and
strong netting nine or ten feet high and
with interstices seven or eight inches
square. Then the chetties. as these queer
natives are called, range themselves along
the sides, and when the tigers lunge at
them they are met at every point by
cleaning spears. Such bowling and
snarling, combined with the shouts Of the
natives, sounds like the ,yailing Of the
damned. The native women are on hand,
too, and lend their aid, and when the
government officers join in the European
ladies are perched conveniently in trees,
TO lend bit of life to the seene.-San
Francisco Examiner.

narbnric ua,tI NeSroe..

Hayti has for nearly century been q
black independent state. The negro race
have had it to themselves and have not
been interfered with. They were equipped,
when they started on their career Of free
dom, with the Catholic religion, q civilized
language, European laws and manners,
and the knowledge of various arts and
occupations which they had learned while
they were slaves. They speak French
still; they are Iominslly Catholic still,
and the tags and rags of the gold lace Of
French civilization continue to cling about
their institutions. But in the heart Of
them has revived the old idolatry Of the
Gold Coast. and in the villages Of the in
terror, where they are out of sight and can
follow their instincts, they sacrifice chill
dren in the serpent's honor after the man
ner of their forefathers. Perhaps nothing
better could be expected from liberty
which WAS inaugurated by assassination
and plunder. Political changes which.
prove successful do not begin in that way

Miss Anderson at Home.

Miss Auderson's house, Mount Wal
than, is on the slope of the side street.
called Netherhall Gardens, which runs
from steep, broad thoroughfare. 1t is q
dard red brick modern house, from whose
windows can be seen on clear day nearly
all of London lying below. 1t is in the
midst of ample grounds and is above the
fog line. The house is handsome, large
and well fitted. The hallway is very
broad, square and in dark oak, with a
great fireplace upon one side. All Of the
rooms on this floor open into the hall. In
the center of this hall there stood on the
day that called an enormous Christmas
tree. Above the Christmas tree from the
bannisters leading to the second floor
hung brilliantly colored silk United
States flag. This tree was for the benefit
of Miss Anderson's young brother. She
has all of her immediate family with her,
and lives as few actresses can live-at
home, with her own people about her.-

Card or a Photn.raphs

"would you rather have my card or my
photograph"
Two young men who had been discuss.
ing a bottle of wine in an uptown picture
gallery were preparing 10 part.
Your card will do; don't want to put
you to SO much trouble
"No trouble at all II you like III put
my portrait on the back of the card"
He thereupon drew from his pocket
small rubber stamp and imprinted on the
back Of his card very creditable Likeness
Of himself
An inquisitive reporter, who overheard
the dialogue, took pains the next day to
learn TO what extent the fad had gone.
He found that there are several concerns
in the city where portrait stamps are
made, similar in style to the rubber
stamps, containing ones name and ap-
pended TO it a pocket lead pencil These
stamps cost from 81 to 50 each. and are
from one TO three inches square AL the
stamp makers require is a tintype por-
trait OF the customer and a money order.
The stamps wear well and are much af-
fected, by young clerks and East side bust
ness men.-New York Nail and Express.
