A Plot for q Novel.

year or more ago The Sunday Call, of
Newark, N j.. published local story
which, while quite true, was improbable
and marvellous TO degree What a
plot for novel," observed the writer of
il, 'Wilkie Collins would find in such an
incident" Recently copy Of the paper,
with the article marked, was sent to Mr.
Collins, and he now replies as follows,
under date of London, Jan. 10: 90 .
l am recovering from an attack Of i'll
ness, and most of my letters are written
for me by another hand. But l must
personally thank you for the very re-
markable and interesting story which you
have so kindly sent me. The incident
marked is so dramatic and Ito mel so en-
tircly new that l really hope to find an
opportunity of making use Of it. In that
case it is, trust, needless for me to say
that the yet unwritten story will find its
way across the Atlantic to express its
sense of obligation TO you as it best may"

Death Scene snoiled.

Grace Hawthorne, who was formerly,
in small way, known to the dramatic
newspapers as Grace Cortland, was play
ing Camille" one night at Aurora, Ills
The property man of the company had
formerly lived in that town, and while the
last act was on he stood in the wings
talking over old times with some of the
resident stage hands. So engrossed did
he become that he forgot where he was
The doctor Of the play entered, took
Camille by the hand and spoke his line,
''Ah, Camille, you are very ILL.," The
dying woman was about to make answer
(the house being hushed as DEATH when
the property man was distinctly heard to
exclaim:
yah! Wat yer givin' me,'
The result OF that awkward break
was simply ruin, so far as the perform
ance was concerned, and Camille was
obliged to postpone her death until the
next night.-Detroit Free Press.

of persons have been assembled be burned,

presence of organic matter; and If the
condensed breath be allowed to remain on
the windows for a few days, it will be
found, on examination by microscope,
that it is alive with animalcules. The in

matter causes untold complaints which

The entertainment by the kings Daugh-
ters" last evening at Brubaker's hall was
! attended by large and well entertained
audience. Signor RigiO was present with
his tunefui harp, which, of course, shows
that we had the best of music. The pro-
g,amme was well rendered, and the cos
tunes and relics of the past very much en-
joyed by those present. There WAS no
supper, as We reported there would be, as
supper and such 4 programme could not
have both been gotten up and enjoyed in
one evening. We are sorry if any one was
disappointed because of our mistake.
Thomas V. Outright, OF Chillicothe, o.,
is visiting his brother, S. J. Outright. He
is also looking for employment, as there is
nothing to do in Chillicothe. They ought
to have some of our manufacturers there to
build shops and give poor men work and
wake up the sleepy old town. Mr..
Outright says that the free delivery system
commenced there last Monday. and when the
uniformed letter carriers made their first
rounds, 1t was amusing to see cd meT-
chants and others rush out on the side
walks and stare after the carriers, many of
them never having seen such sight n
their lives before. He brought laurel
cane with him, which he cut in the Laurel
hills If Ross county, as a present for his
old friend, Grandpa Laybourn. 1t is so
crooked that it will almost have to be tied
down to make 1t lie still on the floor, and
yet it was the straightest one to be found
in large hillside full of them.
