POPPING THE QUESTION.



''Miss Laura" said the professor, as
he looked fixedly at the young lady, Il
have felt for some time, as | have just
now tod you, that there is an intel.
lectual sympathy between us which
means something more than the ordin-
airy, commonplace attraction Of one
sex for the other. Doubtless you have
reflected on the symbolic meaning Of
the Mosaic account of the creation Of
woman, representing her as having
once been a part OF mans anatomical
structure, and the Hindoo legend.
possibly based upon ii. which sets
forth that man and woman are but the
severed halves of a once complete and
perfect being, dual in nature but one
in impulse and perception. each of
which longs i~nvoluntarily for the re-
establishment Of the intimate union
that existed before the separation, and
out Of which longing arises the passion
or emotion we call love. But in the
growth Of u acquaintanceship, Miss
Laura, l have been at times conscious
Of what seems to me a deeper sympathy
than this generic and universal emo-
ton. Without expressing n belief in

Gladstone's London House.

Mr.. Gladstone's London House is
near Buckingham Gate. 1t is in the
old-n OF the new fangled-Queen Ann
style. and the drawing-room windows
overlook the parade-grounds of the
Wellington Barracks. Mr.. Gladstone
likes spending a few moments now
and then watching the soldiers go
through their drill. The entrance
hall is square and roomy, paneled, as
is the staircase, with fine Chippendale
carving, and lighted by stained glass
window. In it are few reproduce ions
of the Autotype Gallery, and a large
picture of the entrance to Alex
andria. which must recall to
the ex Premier each time he enters the
house one of the most unpleasing
"reminiscences of his official life. The
dining-room is on the ground floor,
and it is of somewhat restricted di-
mansions. Above it is the dra wing
room, which is long. charming
room. In one corner is a portrait of
Mr. G. adstone paint by Watts. and
IN the middle window is placed Mrs.
uladstone's writing-table. 1t is shut
IN by a screen on which hang por-
traits OF her husband and younger
son. Inc room IN which Mr. Glad
stone works is at the back Of the
house. and is in consequence free from
all noise. Not even the sound of a
passing cab-wheel can break in on his
quiet. London Letter.

GREEK NUMISMATISTS.

Another Athenian Gent.

Exploits of TimoIeOn Pericles BlastO and
Another Athenian Gent.
Some forty-four years ago there ap-
peared in London young Greek gen.
tIcman called Timoleon Pericles Bias
to. He came to London highly rec
commended by more than one foreigner
of distinctio and thus got the per-
mission to study the collection of
Greek coins in the British Museum.
He very soon proved to the off GERS in
charge of the med al room that he was
au accomplished nun.ismatist His
knowledge of coins was great, his de-
votiOn to the subject greater; for a
whole month he came every day 10
study the magnificent collection ac-
cumulated ever since the time ofPayne
Knight His manners were ingenu
Gus. and ladies thought him quite fas-
cinating. At the end of the month.
Just before he left England an acct
dental discovery revealed that rare
Greek coin was missing. Further
search disclosed the fact that large
number of the rarest coins had van
ished. and had IN many cases been re-
placed by inferior specimens. The
authorities of the museum were ap-
palled, but fortunately they lost no
time in putting their case in the hands
of the ablest detective then known at
Scotland Yard, the cele brated Mr.
Field. b. dexferous coup de main
Mr. Field captured in few hours limo
leon Pericles and all his booty. OHe
was tried at the OIL Bailey, pleaded
guilty. and convicted. His sentence
was seven years transportation. which,
OF course, was committed on account
OF his exemplary conduct. He was
consigned 10 the model prison at
Pentonville, where he was seen by
sympathetic lady visitors reading
Sophocles and Euripides in his cell.
Before his trial he tried to avert the
operation of the law against felons, as
1T then stood. by conveying all his
goods and chattels to friend on the
morning of the day of his conviction.
But British law was equal to the &C.
caslon. The conveyance of his proper-
~ was pronounced, null and void, be-
cause the court said that there was no
such thing as half or fraction of q
day. he was convicted on a given
day, therefore the conveyance exc
cuted OH the morning of the same dav
was void Thereupon his coins. as the
property of felon, were forfeit 10 the
Crown, and were handed over to the
treasuryi which, after restoring to the
British Museum all they claimed. pro-
ceeded to invite other claimants to
prove their ownership. In due course
the residue. consisting of some rare
coins. remained in the hands of the
treasury unclaimed, and were ulti-
ma!ely handed over TO the British
Museum. will not pursue the career

THE English Government offers to owners
of over twenty horses an annual retainer Of
$3.50 for each horse for the option of pur-

In Belgium, says the NetU England Farmer,
passenger rates are so low that city labor

AT last England is about to be walked

A MAGNIFICENT engineering work of the
fifth century, which had been partially de-

4,425 acres, or about seven square miles,
from which water is taken to smaller dis

A MAN near Vienna lost three wives, by
each of whom he became possessed of a
child and mother-in-law. He was on ex-

to meet frequently at his house, where they
came to see his children; but the meetings
finally eliminated in grand pitched battle,
and they all three subp9naed their sOn-in-
law as witness.
THE Jews are generally believed to drive
hard bargainssnot only with their custom
ers, but with those in their employ; yet the
recent official investigation of the "sweat-
ing" system in vogue IN the London cloth
ing trade showed that the best prices are
paid by Jewish houses, and their employees
get the best treatment One Jewish firm
offered to raise remuneration twenty-five
per cent if the trade would adopt the prin-
ciple generally, but the other dealers would
not agree to it.
In Skiatos, one of the Grecian isles, there
had been no case of diptheria for over thirty
years until the summer of 1884, when a
child died of the disease, and in the coarse
of five months there were over 100 cases,
with SO deaths, in a community of about
1000. Careful investigations of the origin
of the epidemic resulted in tracing it to a
flock of infected turkeys received from
Salonica, and which, on examination, showed
unmistakable evidence of the dfphtheria
process.
AN out-of-the-way quarter of the world is
the Mexican State of Yucatan, to most
travellers, but it appears to have caught the
spirit of progress. A recent traveller writes
that the taxable property of the State is
now valued at $3,657,6S3. The public schools
supported by the State number POP, and are
attended by upward of II 900 pupils. Col
leges are located at Merida for the study of
law and medicine, and Valladolid has an in
stitute, a conservatory of music and acade-
mics. The postal service of the country is
good, and telegraph and telephone offices
are being rapidly multiplied.

THE CENTENNIAL EXPOSITION

nothing is being left undone that will con-

The guarantee fund of one million and
fifty thousand dollars, which the Board of
Commissioners have at their command, has
enabled them to provide magnificent quar-
tiers in which to display the mass of articles
already offered, and these, in conjunction
with the permanent building in which nu-
merouS EXpositions on smaller scale have
been held, and which cost over one million
dollars, will give to this affair better facili-
ties than were ever enjoyed by any thing of
the kind ever held in this country, not ex-
cepting the famous Exposition in Philadel-
phia in 1876 The area of exhibiting space
will be about 7O0,0 square feet. The tenn
porary buildings, when ready for occu-
pancy, will have cost no less than a quarter
of million of dollars, and are models of
architecture, combining all the elements
necessary for the uses to which they will
be put.
The Exposition has been advertised for
the past year in mastery manner, and
there is no section of the country that has
failed to hear of the great event. Applica-
tons for exhibiting space have been re-
ceived in abundance from every cline, and
there seems to be no reason to doubt its en-
tire success, both artistically and finan-
cially.

thief escaped from Athens with his
booty, sold it to MN. Rollin and

their premises, recaptured it. with a
view probably, of reselling the coins

whole story is that the two keepers of
