How she Became a Baroness.
From a Saratoga Letter.


Only two or three years ago she was Mrs.
Rlegel, wife of young Philadelphia mer-
chant. He obtained a divorce from her.
She was very handsome, and she could sing
little, so she applied to Col. McCaull, the
opera manager, for employment on the
stage. He told her that be could do no
more than to place her in the ch rus at $40
a week. She said that she would not ac-
cept his offer, because she must earn a
living somehow. But she Immediately got
a chance to be star. The attempt resulted
in an artistic failure, but it was q success in
recommending her to the love Of Baron
Blanc, a wealthy and handsome New
Yorker. They were married. His given
name has led to the erroneous impression
that he is a baron, and the pair are known
wherever they go as the Baron and Baroness
Blanc. That isn't any wonder, considering
the gorgeousness of their luxury. They
have divided this summer between Long
Branch and Saratoga
Mrs Blanc is a beauty. If she should
suffer a reverse of fortune she surely could
get employment i'll some great dressmaking
establishment as a model, for she can wear
hnery TO as great an advantage as any
woman ever saw. / suspect that she
knows it, for between o'clock this morn
ing and O'Clock this evening she has ap-
peared in our hotel in six separate and dis
tinct costumes. Beginning with an early
horseback ride and going through the
days episodes of breakfast, morning ride in
victoria, midday luncheon, trip to the
races in the afternoon, late dinner and an
evening in the dancing parlor, she has made
the six complete changes of attire. Pre-
suinably the two maids whom she employs
did as much as they could of the work
of dressing and undressing her, and yet it
has been a long and arduous days job for
her to display herself in such a succession Of
toilets

CUTICURA REMEDIES.
AN ABSOLUTE CURE
Of Most Distressing Skin Disease
by the Cuticura Remedies.

VI a Most Distressing Skin Disease
by the Cuticura Remedies.
IN the winter of 1S79-'sO 1 found myself
L afflicted with a singular eruption on my
limbs, to which had hitherto been a stranger.
The trouble appeared in large blotches, upon
which the skin was raised, but no gathering
under it. No particular pain attended it, save
a burning, singing sensation and an intolerabe
itching, such as was never before experienced
After becoming satisfied that it had come to
stay, called my physician, who, after a thor
ough examination, pronounced it case of
eczema. He comfored me by saying he could
cure it; that it was merely skin disease Incl
dent to old people, was neither dangerous nor
contagious, but If not arrested would prove ex-
ceedingly troublesome pnd annoying to me.
asked him to prescribe which he did; powders
and pills to be taken ihwardly, and a wash for
outward application. attended faithfully to
all directions, but the wash only aggravated the
irritation, and after a few applications had to
be abandoned. Becoming thoroughly alarmed,
l asked my physician to call counsel which he
did. The case was examined, the medicines
changed. l obeyed orders to the letter, all TO
no purpose The blotches would disappear in
one place (leaving a stain upon the skin as if
to appear in another. 1t had been part of my
early education to discountenance all adver-
tised medicines delusipn and snare but
one day, in glancing over newspaper, noticed
under the head of your CUYICURA REMEDIES
case precisely similar to my own, and after
reading it over several times went Immediately
to the nearest drug store, purchased bottle of
CUTICURA REsoLvENT, two cakes of CUTICURA
SOAP and a box of CUTICURA, resolving to use
them clandestinely, carefully noting the effects
The result of the first bath, with after appli-
cation of the CuTIcURA, was most grateful and
astonishing, quickly allaying the burning, itch
ing sensation, and making me almost forget it
ever existed. l persevered until an absolute
cure was effected. l consider your CUTIcURA
REMEDIES invaluable, and cheerfully recon-
mend them as SUCH One of your Seven Cuti-
cura Boys" which has gone all over the world,
is my grandson, and the remedies that effected
his speedy and wonderful cure was applied upon
my recommendation.

SCIENTISTS IN CONGRESS.

SCIENTISTS IN CONGRESS.
From time to time there have been dis
tinguished scientists in congress, who have
spent their spare time in toying with light
ming or in the investigation of the habits
or history of bugs, fossils and fishes. Theo-
dore Lyman, of Massachusetts,, had fine
assortment of star fish, and was engaged in
romantic research : into the history
of their origin. He was deeply interested in
the genealogy of a variety of animate par
ticles. Dr. Samuel Mitchell of New York
was a scientific researche-. The very first
congress was given quite distinguished
scientific character by the presence of
Franklin, Livingston and Rittenhouse, a I'd
from time To time since then seats in the
capitol have been held by men who delight
to search out the hidden mysteries. In the
present congress there are very few. The
students of nature generally conduct their
INQUIRIES with gun or fishing rod.
Carlisle has been a pedagogue, but only
in a limited way, the period of his reign
with birchen sceptor being brief.
Wilson of West Virginia fingered longer
in the classic shades. The shadow of his
rod stretched across the school-room floor
until it assumed strong characteristic out
line. He is now regarded as a man OF consid-
cradle scientific attainment, so much so that
he was selected as one of the regents of the
Smithsonian.
Cox takes enough interest in science to
entitle him to rank with those who know
the password that opens the portals of ma
ture.
DR.. Atkinson, Mr. Phelps, Gen. Wheeler,
Senators Morrill,, Cullom, and Gibson dip in
science with an interest.
Mr.. Allen of Massachusetts takes a little
to science, but more to sketching and pho
Biography, with glance now and then in a
literary direction.
Gov. Long has amused himself by trans
lating Greek classics as relaxation from
more serious occupation.
LITERARY LEGISLATORS.
Reed occasionally writes for reviews. Mr..
Foran has poured out his romantic soul in a
thrilling novel.
Senators Morrill, and Blair have INDUCED
in more serious literary efforts, especially
the latter. Voorhees, and Sherman have
published books composed largely of selec-
lions from their speeches.
Vance is a student Of nature from pic
turesque and sportsmanly rather than
scientific point OF view. He is one of the
best huntSmen in the Senate, ana his inl-
pressions of the topography Of his native
state have been outlined in a volume on
"North Carolina mountains and physical

CONGRESSIONAL RELAXATION.
How Senators and Representatives
Enjoy their Spare Moments.

How Senators and Representative
Enjoy their Spare Moments
From the Washington Star
Congress is composed of men of variety
of professions and pastimes.
There's Darlington, in the House, thinks
that if there is any one in this country who
can beat him making butter, it is another
Darllngton-his brother. Everybody who
knows anything about butter has heard of
the Darlington brand. By devoting him
self to the making of genuine butter he be-
came statesman before he knew it. Not
only that, but he made lots of money. His
active and serious business is now legislating
for the country, but it is pleasant pastime
to make butter and loan money.
Very few members of congress started out
in their early life with the set determination
of becoming statesmen. In their very
young days most of them have felt that
popular ambition which thrills the hearts
of very small boys to becone bootblacks or
dog -catchers, or, if of despotic disposition,
hackmen-or, best of all, the man who
talks funny and sells sugar plums and
painted pin-wheels on the street corners.
Many of them have confessed to reporter
that their young and tender ambitions were
pricked by such desires. If their parents
had followed the theory of training youth
in the way It's lncnnatlonS tend, the country
might have been over-stoclled with a select
variety of showmen and fakirs, instead of
having the service OF a few able statesmen
NO SCHOOL OF CRAFTSMANSHIP.
All of which goes to show that there is no
especial school of craftsmanship, and that
while the profession of law. from having
more representatives. in congress, may claim
especial distinction, there are many other
roads that lead to-Washingtonl Some
may have been cotton planters, some ordi-
nary everyday farmers, some lawyers,
some doctors, and others ordinary laborers.
A few have sold clothing, or dry goods and
notions. Some have taught school; one or
two, possibly, kept bar.
At least one man worked his way futo
the house as a skilled cooper, and it is a
popular belief that several senators have
