English Boots.

Science covers good deal Of ground, !"
said man to New York Sun reporter;
''but there is one thing that [ can not
explain, and that is why boots which
are bought in England and which fit
one perfectly there, are utterly useless
on this side of the water. In my own
case | have tried the plan of buying
boots in England halfa dozen times
and never with success. They are
much cheaper there, besides being a
trif1e more shapely than the work of
our own shoemakers on this side OF the
water; hence travellers are anxious to
bring over stock of shoes with them.
1t is great mistake, for the English
made boots are simply useless here.
They bring cOrns and cramp the feet.
1t is asserted that this is partly due to
the fact that the English climate is
more moist than ours, but this does not
seem sensible, for moisture invariably
swells the feet and hands, as anybody
knows who has tried to put on gloves
in a hot ballroom. Corns are plenty
here. | went to corn doctor this
morning and he told me that three men
in bis establishment treated on an aver
age over 100 people day. They charge
% cents a corn on this side, whereas
the price in London is 81 foot-a hui
man foot, by the way-but corns in the
ordinary acceptation of the term are
unknown in London, all of which is
probably due to the climate"

NEW YORK, Nov. 27.-There was q
large and brilliant assemblage in st.
Bartholomew Church at high noon to-
day, to witness the nuptials of Miss
Leila Wilson, of Virginia, and Michael
Herbert, of the British Legation at
Washington. The groom is one of the
ten children Of the late Lord Herbert
who was English secretary of war during
the civil war in this country and the
event was made doubly interesting by
the presence of the groom's mother,
Lady Herbert, who has come to the
United States to work among the col
ored people of the South, and who pro-
poses to erect colored orphanage in
Baltimore. After the ceremony there
was a wedding breakfast at the Wilson

Anecdote of De Lesseps.

Old NJ. de Lesseps is a great fellow.
M. de Blowitz tells that the other day
he was talking with him. "All at once
he remarked: You make me think of

ger. SO and ask my sen if we start
this evening, at what hour and for what
place. The messenger returned in a
few minutes. saying: You start this
evening at $40, from Mont Parnasse
Station for LIE Mans very well; 60 to
my house and tell my son we shall dine
at Z punctually.' Finally turning to me
he remarked: Pray excuse me, am
going to the Academy of Sciences, where
i have promised to attend what will be
a long sitting, and | shall be just in time
for the paper that am to hear He ac-
cordingly went with me as far as the
door, and entered his carriage to go to
the institute. On returning he will
have railway journey lasting till 2
O'Clock in the morning, this being fol-
lowed by meeting in the afternoon,
and by another night in the train; and
he will perhaps start next day in some
other direction

ONE of the largest deals for several
years In the white pine line of the lum-
Der traffic has just been closed at St.
Louis, after considerable negotiation,
and over 6,000,000 feet of lumber, owned
by the Eau Claire Lumber Company,
passed into the hands of the Methudy Il

the transaction is presumably in the
neighborhood OF 100000. This winds up
the Eau Claire Lumber Company, which
is succeeded by the Eau Claire-St. Louis

There is growing conviction that the
practice Of abnormal phenomena tends
to make them normal, or permanent
characteristics of the patient. The only
safety for any person is to retain abso-

notism is doubtless of advantage in

A QUANTITY of English steel rail laid
on the main line of the Wabash in 1873,
Is years ago, was recently taken up and
relaid on branch where it is expected
to last II or 10 years more, which will
make life of from 81 to 80 years. The
rails cost in 1873 $lO3 per ton in gold,
which is a good deal more than three
times the present cost of steel rails.
The same company recently took up
iron which was laid in 1856, 80 years
ago, and sold it as old rail for more than
two-thirds the price of new steel. But
iron rail made twenty or thirty years
ago was very much superior to the later
productions of that article.

GERMANY proposes a general European
cooperation in preventing the expor-

the importation of powder and guns.
England and France have responded
favorably, each sending war vessels to

and as they hold vast tracts on the East

many of them the summer houses they

houses belonging to Leland's Ocean

AN improvement on church fairs has
been devised in Lincoln, Neb., if we
may trust the Omaha papers. One OF
the churches. wishing to raise money to
pay off the debt, offered merchants OF
all sorts a chance to advertise on the
walls of the church. A large and hand
some advertising card appeared in a
conspicuous place containing the names
of such merchants as accepted the OPP
portunity at So head. AT the close OF
divine service, the pastor called atten-
ton to the card. saying that they were
all reliable men, who could be safely
dealt with, and advising his parishion-
ersto patronize them. This may be bet
ter than some other plans a good deal
more commonly adopted. At least the
merchants get their moneys worth.

for their curiosity, but they refused to
take it. They paid $l5 for it. The coin

stalk, the bars and stars of the Confed-

pole through it and liberty cap on top
of it.
