Senator Malone was at the Capitol the

lunch OF hot buckwheat cakes. Malone is u
"a lady's, and his Oversaiters are knit. His
coat is bell shaped and his linen Is almost as

his frame is made up of bone, brain and

be thinner thnn ever, and he shines out in
strange contrast to his handsome wife. Mrs.
Malone watches Billy with care, and, like
Mrs Logan and the general, she was with
him during part OF his military career.
There was no southern officer Drawer than
Gen. Malone. and the marrow of his bones Il

Run Mrs. Malone stopped few miles off,
watching the smoke and hearing the thun-

husband was wounded. A moment later
came Mahoues servant TO tell her his mas

The Irish love dancing, and there is no

when the weather Is dry; but when it is wet

the thick sole should be worn, for it keeps
