The Death Of .rad" Lincoln.

In February 1862, this fond father was
visited by a sorrowful bereavement The
executive mansion was turned into q
house of mourning. Death had chosen a
shining mark and the beloved Willie, the
apple Of his fathers eye, the brightest
and most promising of his children, was
torn from his embrace. The dreadful
stroke well nigh broke the presidents s
heart, and certainly an affliction more
crushing never fell to the lot of man. In
the lonely grave of the little one lay
buried Mr.. Lincoln's fondest hopes and,
strong as he was in the matter of self
control, he gave way to an overmastering
grief, which became ut length q serious
menace to himself.
Never was there witnessed in an Amer
ican household a scene OF distress more
touching than that in which the president
and Mrs. Lincoln mingled their tears
over the coffin that inclosed the lifeless
form of their beloved child. A deep and
settled dependency took possession of
Mr.. Lincoln, and when it is remembered
that this calamity-for such it surely was
-befel him at critical period of the war,
just when the resources Of his mighty in
tellect were most in demand, it will be
understood how his affiicti0n became q
matter of the gravest concern to the whole
country, and especially to those who stood
in close personal and official relations with
him. The measures taken by his friends
to break the force of his great grief, and
to restore him to something like his old
time cheerfulness, seemed for a while un-
availing. III. Lamon.

The umhrelln RArgnln Shon.

Not n great many New York women
know about the umbrella bargain shop; It
does not advertise itself, and those who
are in the secret are too shrewd TO spread
the secret and thereby lessen their own
chances for that triumph dear TO the fe-
male heart One woman, at least, whose
income is limited, makes that bargain
shop stand her in good stead, and man
ages, by the aid OF skillful seamstress
who comes to her by the day, TO dress bet
ter than women with twice her income.
The shop itself is carried on in about this
fashion: Down stairs is an umbrella shop,
where a little old Hebrew does n meager
business. Above there are three or four
rooms, where his wife, little old He
brew lady, carries on the real business OF
the establishment In cedar closets,
ranged all about the walls, are gorgeous
costumes in various stages of freshness
and good repair, shoes, slippers, bonncts,
furs, great boxes of long gloves, under
wear, vinaigrettes-ever that wo-
men wear The old Hebrew lady gets
hold of these things In all sorts Of ways.
Many of them are the wardrobes OF peo-
pie who have had to go suddenly into
mourning; others are sold out each sea-
son by women who want to get rid OF all
their old things and get something toward
the bills for the new; and others, again,
perfectly fresh and unworn, have a Curl
Gus history.
There are women of wealth whose hus-
bands will pay unlimited milliners' bills,
but will not give them ready money, and
when they need the latter they simply
order home costumes, bonnets, furs or
gloves, the bill for which their husbands
will pay, and the goods are sold to the old
bargain maker for ready cash, though far
below their original value. These the
aforesaid skillful woman buys at bar
gain, and by the aid of n seamstress re-
models, refits and makes over the dresses
for her own wear. She gets gloves in the
same way sometimes, and bonnets, and
manages to drive many good bargain
with Nine. Umbrella. Second rate
actresses also buy from the old woman,
and with little relooping and furnishing
manage to look very stylish and present.

of the slim ones buy the gowns Of fat

HOW THE uTERATI LAUGH.

Lowell, Twain, Cable and Others Enter.
tained by tho Poet Riley.
One Of the most amusing things, be-
sides hearing James Whitcomb Riley re-
cite, the other evening at Chickering hall,
was to watch how the big literary lights
were affected by the inimitable s'Hoosier''
poet. James Russell Lowell, the Right
Rev. III. G. Potter, Mark Twain, DIR. Ed
ward Eggleston, r. III. Stoddard, H. G.
Bunner and George w. Cable all had read
or recited their pieces on the programme
when Mr.. Riley was announced. He came
forward with a luminous smile on hi.
mobile, jovial face, buttoned up his Prince
Albert coat, looked at the highly intel
lectual audience, composed mostly of
ladies, and said he would recite a poem
called, "When the Frost is on the Pun
KIM" just as the old farmer was supposed
to have spoken. The laughter began as
soon as he repeated the first line and con-
tinued until he finished.
Mr.. Lowell as chairman of the meet
ing, tried to look as calm and unmoved as
possible, but his companion, Bishop Pot
ter, could not repress his visibility and
joined in the fun with graceful dignity.
Mark Twain's face resembled the diagram
of a five-act comedy in blank verse, while

backward and forward as il the wind of
humor had contract to blow through his
tangled locks. Poet Stoddard crossed his
legs and laughed till the tears ran down
his face and were soaked up by his snow
white beard. Mr.. Burners black side
whiskers ceased to look staid and prim
and joined his smiles in q bolero of almost
unrestrained cachination, and as for Mr..
Cable, he put off for moment his Ire
mont Temple Sunday school air and roared,
not in his favorite patois of the Creole,
but in common every day English. Bill
Nye, Mr.. Riley's side partner, merely
corkscrewed dry grin on his noble
facade, and kept it there at equal tenn
perature during all the fun.
Toward the last of the "Hoosier''
comedians recital the glacial dignity of
Mr.. Lowell melted somewhat, and he put
his hand to his face and quietly beamed
several ripples of enjoyment from his half
closed eyes. Mr.. Riley's power TO create
fun was not gauged when his name was
placed on the programme, or else these dis
tinguished literati would have have been
prepared, and not taken front seats on the
stage. Maj. Pond, who is somewhat of O
prophet, remarked carelessly before the
authors met that Riley would take the
"beann easily. II the bean meant to
create the most amusement and delight
an audience as it had never been before,
he certainly deserved that richest and
rarest of Boston dishes. His personation

Little Fanny was making visit with

to have pretty much her own way. Ono
day she was doing all the mischief she
could in the dining room when something
fell to the floor with loud crash. "Do

her hostess. "What il she did?n was

Gypsies seeking Winter Quarters.

From the 1st to the 10Th Of November
the great movement of the American gyp-
sizes from their wandering merripen, or
life, upon the road to winter quarters Is
in full progress. Some begin to fly from
the frosty days q month earlier. Others
wait with dogged sort Of clinging to the
tent homes until fairy driven from them
by bowling December storms. Last year
was a guest with q band near Mount
Tom, in Maine, as late as Thanksgiving
day, and until it was SO rigorous in that
region that every time we got water from
the little stream hard by, we were COM
PEELED to break the ice upon it, Fre-
quentIy the larger bands divide into sew
eral smaller portions. These gradually
work their way back from extreme north
ern points to their winter homes in cities
and towns, or to where the climate is
tolerable for little longer stay in their
loved out of door existence.
Their far annual pilgrimages are re-
markable. l have visited gypsy bands in
New Brunswick whose members owned
property in Central Texas. Beginning in
February they travelled leisurely in the
finest Of wagons, and with droves Of the
finest horses, trading, selling, dickering,
dukkering telling fortunesl along as the
season advanced, fairly coming with the
spring from the south, until June found
them, like many a more aristocratic wan
derer, along the shores of the st. Croix.
During September they would traverse
the New England states. In October they
were across New York and Pennsylvania
and well into Kentucky; and before the
Christmastide had come, they were back
ct their own home for two months
putter and preparation for the next
February departure, perhaps across Mis-
souri, and Iowa, away into the witching
dingles Of the Sauk River valley Of Mime

amount to 5000 miles, an almost incom-
prehensible distance when their apparent
ccaseless roadside tarryings are con-
sidered. Edgar L. Wakeman's Letter.
