Should Miss McTavish of Baltimore marry
the Duke of Norfolk and become che mistress
of Arundel Castle she will outrank her fair
fellow countrywoman, the new Duchess Of
Marlborough, mistress of historic Blenheim.
Lady Randolph Churchill Lady Playfair and
all the other American women who have mar
ried titled Englshmen would be thrown IN
the shade by Miss McTavsh as the Duchess Of
Norfolk. The title is far older one than
that of Marlborough, which is indeed a recent
creation compared with very many of the
British ducal houses and the Howards have
played a conspicuous part in the history of
their country since the very dawn Of that
country's history. One of them was Lord of
the Admiralty at the time of the descent upon
England of the Spanish Armada, whose re-
pulse was celebrated with such a blowing of
trumpets some month or two since, when a
statue was erected to this Lord Howard of
Efingham, the present Duke of Norfolk pre-
siding at the ceremony.--[New York Tribune.

do fade as tile leaf. But the fall of
man into decay and death is unlike
the ruins of the ages, because he is
marked by destiny not given to
aught else He is illlstrious in his
ruins, and will rise again. I have
often fingered amid the ruins of dead
cities, and listened to the voices of
the past, but in all the whisperings
OF the ages, no word of prophecy
came to my thought about new
life for such blighted and fallen glo-
lies. But often, amid the quiet hush
of a lovely cemetery, where flowers
blush i'll beauty, and ripping foun
tains make sweet lullaby for the
holy slumberers. and birds carroll an
evening hymn, | have listened for
prophecies which come to the ear
and heart. Nothing is more sooth
ing than thus to spend time in
communion with the swcetly resting
ones, ''whose names are written in
heaven" There come voicings then
sweeter than any cvangel man ever
hoard, telling of Resurrection and
Life" The triumph of the law of
life over tho law of decay and death
is as certain rs that spring banishes
tho winters storm which chills the
life blood Of nature. But | must not
preach to your readers. Yet I do
most sincerely pity those, who may
see these words, who have no reviv
ing hopes with the glories of nature,
aud the srander lights and life of re
ligion.
SUMMER TIME.
We are in the midst OF glorious
summer out here. This has been one
of the most vital and growing sea
sons of years. Everything is burst
ing into grand and vital activity in
nature. Such crops as we arc having
would make an old mountain farmer
open his eyes in wonder. The wheat
crop turns out better than was OK
pectcd early in the spring. Corn is
simply grand. Oats never better.
Grasses unsurpassed. Business con-
Times good, AZ evidenced by sales
and shipments made here. st. Louis
still improves and real estate keeps
up regular boom. Every line of
improvement is being pushed. Our
cable car system has become one of
the great features of city growth
We lave number of cable roads
now, with others in prospect, while
the electric motor is being applied,
and will, l think, yet become the
great motive power for city transit.
Elevated rodas are spoken of, but
none have been made. The health
OF the west, and particularly this
city, has never been better. I am a
widower now, my family having gone
into "summer quarters" up the coun-
Try. So must beg pardon for tho
length OF this letter and its want of
interest, MS my thoughts are far
away with wife md Frank. More
