forgotten. A lady admrer, however,
upon whom her Floating Down Lost
Creek" had made an impression never
to be forgotten. determined recently
TO see her, and stopped over for that
purpose day at ST. Louis. where the
authoress now resides. She thus de.
scribes her visit to one who has been
classed with Howells and James as
the leading novellsts of the day:
while waiting for the entrance of
Miss Murfee quietly took a survey of
her surroundings, Il single glance at
which was sufficient to convince me
that the modern craze for aesthetic
furnish ngs has not rs yet taken any
hold upon her. ] he room was as bare
of pretty decorations as tho average
hotel apartment rs wont to be. A few
cheap prints in fine frames upon the
walls; carpets and paper that swore at
each other, as the French would put
it; the usual complement of armed and
armless chars. all upholstered from
the same piece of jute. and a huge
writin g-table, of the kind usually
found in offices, with a Webster I'M
abridged upon it, completed the visible
picture upon VIII oh the eye of the gift
ed author daily gaz.d. But the in

After five minutes waiting the door

stitflooking garnet-colored silk gown.
limped painfully towards me. She was
of medium height with rather thick
set figure, square, coloress face. eyes
small, OF blue-gray color. and a mass
of red. brown hair. The extreme plain
ness OF the face and limping gait made
au almost painful impression. which.
however. was soon dissipated 10y her
pleasant, low pitched voice and simply
interested manner. For few moments
there was touch of shvness about her.
but this soon disappeared as she be-
came interested in conversation. and
she talked very fluently of travel and
scenery and the commonplaces of the
day. She particularly admired Bar
Har Dor, and thought the combination
of mountain and sea beautiful. IL was
OF her native Tennessee mountains,
however, that she spoke with the great
est enthusiasm. dlating upon the
exuberance of the vegetable growth
there-upon the beauty of the rhodo-
dendron in the spring and the glory of
It's autumnal foliage. The impression
her personality made upon me was
precisely that conveyed by her books
"a serious. earnest, painstaking soul.
thoroughly imbued with the pathos.
tenderness and beauty of nature in her
native mountains.

An AcrObatic Fish.

II Is not unusual when near body OF wa
ter 10 see the fish Gear the surface In jump
for flies. The following, however, told by a
gentleman claiming to have been an eve wit
ness, rather beats the record OF long leans by
the finny family: Early one morning in
autumn the narrator. then in the country
went tn the shores of little lake 20 try his
luck with tue line. Coming to a tree over
hanging the water his attention was called to
two young birds at the end OF one OF the
lowest limbs. IL looked as though IL was the
first time they had been out OF the nest, as
the mother bird was lowering restlessly about
them. They made no attempt TO fy, but kept
edglng along the branch until at the very tip.
when the water reflected every movement dis.
tinctly. Suddenly a glistiDg pike dsrted up
out OF the bosom OF the lake, snatched one
of the little feathered fellows, and fell back
into the water with 10 In hts mouth.
Ii seemed incredible, and the observer could
hardly believe his own eyes. One OF the
young blrls was gone, that was unqucstions l.
ole, AMI the old one was sounding her notes
OF alarm. The rippes Of the water had hard
~ gone down when with whisk OF his tail
up came the pike again and carried away the
second youngster, falling back into his native
element with loud splash. In both instsnc-
rs the fish hal gone over tn branch. dis

Crowley and the Dad IS.

New York is beginning to recover
from It's almost whelming grief
for the demise of Crowley. the CHM
panzee. The people should be con-
soled with the thought that although
Crowley has gone to join Jumbo in
the angel menagerie. there are lots of
dudes behind
Crowley was remarkably intelli-
gent animal. but still scientists do not
regard him as the missing link. OAR
wins idea. which has been generally
accepted. was that Oscar Wild was
the missing link. At the same time,
there are other scientists who main.
tain that the New York dude comes
very near the marx. Crowley was too
intelligent to fill the sccnt iic require
ments of the III. l.
However the death of Crowley must
come home to the dude with the force
of family affl cton. IL is. perhaps,
asking too much Of the dude. but he
should try to console himself with the
thought that in this world pain aud
pleasure. like light and darkness. sue
ceed each other. Without suffering
there could be no fortitude. no compass.
sion. no sympathy. and many of the
brightest virtues. like tao stars. shine
only in the dark. BY all means, let
the dude weep, for misery is cured in
the brine of tears
1t often happens that fate not only
presses a cup of misery to dudes lips,
but compels him to drain il slowly
drop by drop. At the same time. there
are no circumstances. however un-
fortunate, from which consolation may
not be drawn. The hide of Crowley.
properly upholstered and provided
with glass e., will be on exhibit on
at the Museum of Natural History in
in Central Park, aud there the dude
can repair aud greet his lost relative.

THE NOYES CASE,

The case of the Rev. w. H. Moves, who was recently ordained by a council at the Berkeley Temple in Boston for work in the foreign missionary field, is widely discussed. It was hoped that he might be accepted by the prudential committee of the American board, and that this action would bring to an end very unpleasant and not very profitable controversy. It appears that Mir. Moves took the statement, on the basis of which he was recently ordained, to the prudential commit tee of the board, and that he insisted upon the acceptance of this document, without further explanation on his part,a 8 sufficient testimony to his fitness to receive an ap- pointment as one of it's missionaries. The question before the committee, already bound by two resolutions of the corporate members of the board to act under certain directions, was whether they could follow their wishes or their instructions, and they have felt call ed upon to follow their instructions. Mir. Noyes' published statement of belief contains little that could be construed to teach the doctrine of a second probation or to imply that he intends to teach this doctrine, but the prudential committee would seem to have required some evidence that he did not occu- py identically the same position that he had held twice before when his case was in hand. It is said that this was distinctly refused and it is understood that on this affirmation of his views as formerly expressed to the com- mittee he was again refused an appointment.
 Thus the matter stands, much to the dis appointment of many. The Boston Herald makes 8 sensible suggestion when it says: If we may propose 0 way out of difficulty that seems to have reached the point of deadlock it would be that the president of the Ameri- can board, with the prudential committee, should venture something for the sake of peace. No one sapposes that Mir.

The decision of the committee seems to have been reached as a necessary result of previous action and not as the expression of their personal feel ings or convictions. There is a man of straw in this contest who is troubling both parties, and the point now to be urged is that he shall be taken out of the way. DfStorrs has been able to bring the American board partially out of the storm of recent controversy and it is believed that he is equal to the task of ef- fecting some sort of compromise between at present dieagreeing intellectually and the ologically where their hearts and sympathies are directed to the same great end.
