PROF. ELLIOTT COUEs. WILLIAM Q. JUDGE
DIETZ BLAvATSKY.
The society was founded in New York,
in 1875, by Nine. Blavatsky, with the CO.
operation of Col. H. s. Olcott. Nine.
Blavatsky is now at the head Of the branch
of the Theosophical society, which she es-
tablished in London. She has been sue
ceeded in America by Professor Elliott
Coues. who is president of the society.
Among the early members of the group
Of which the society was originally COM
posed was Linda Dietz, the actress. She
was at that time favorite with the public,
and was playing at the Union Square
theatre. She has since retired from the
stage. and has disappeared from public
view. Then there was Mr.. w. Q. Judge,
a native of the Emerald Isle, who is now
the secretary of the society. He has had
charge of Nine. Blavatsky!s business
affairs for many years. All the branches
Of the society were represented. twenty
two in number, at the Chicago convention.
It appeared from the records that there
are now in the United States about 600
enrolled members. and several thousands
secretly affiliated.

him by. as Mrs. Langtry never takes him
out to walk. and therefore doesn't need
such an aid to swing him over cutters.
1t is pity that there is not fashion Of
having strong belt or harness with a
handle by which mothers and nurses could
lift little children over cutters and up
steps without dragging them by main
force by one tiny, delicate little arm.
But then fashion will never permit that
some mothers should bestow as tender
care upon their little ones as they do on
their dogs. If it were so these mothers
would at least put tags on their children
with their own names upon them, SO that
strangers who saw the abuses the nurse
girls iniict upon their helpless charges
could send word to the parents.
Mrs. Langtry is having some very pretty
gowns made at leading house. and the

It is the rule in the very best New York

GREATNESS.

He may be great who proudly rears
For coming years strong pyramids;
But greater he who hourly builds
A character by noble deeds.
He may be wise whose mind is filled
With all the wisdom time has given;
Who sees and does his duty well
Is wiser in the sight of heaven.

With pictures by rare genius wrought (.
Greater it is to line the soul
With tints and gems of noble thought.

A poem grand is greater still.

gagged in an easy conversation with the pilot
in moment of the latters relaxation. and
the pilot told him certain war "reminiscences
of an interesting character, without, how.
ever, directly intimating that he had any
personal part in them. So the Yankee asked,
point blank
(which side were you on during the war?'
The pilot gave him glance which seemed
to say, You are too inquisitive," and then
answered.:

Then he changed the subject Of converse.

Clock DiaIs.

We have sixty divisions on the dials OF
our clocks and watches, becaused the old
Greek astronomer, Hipparchus, who lived
in the second century before Christ, ac-
cented the Babylonion system OF reckon
ing time, that system being sexagesimai.
The Babylonians were acquainted with
the decimal system, but for common or
practical purposes they counted by "sossi"
and "sari," the ''sossos" representing sixty
and the "soros" sixty times sixty-36O.
From Hipparchus that mode OF reckoning
found its way into the works of Ptolemy,
about $50 A. D., and thence was carried
down the stream of science and civlliza-
tion and found its way to the dial plates OF
Onr clocks and watches.

THE TEA PARTY.

With acorn cups and saucers,
And lovely oak leaf plates,
A paper for table-cloth,
And bits of stone for weights
Because the wind in frolic
Might blow it all away,
We children had a company
In Cedar Woods to-day.
We had a loaf of gingerbread
From grandma's best receipt,
The very incest kind of cake
For hungry boys to eat.
We had Aunt Sarah's cookies,
And biscuit made with yeast,
And sandwiches of course beside
A real royal feast.
We'd asked our cousin Lucy
And DIR. Perkins Fred.
And pretty Lottie Sanderson,
And merry Jack and Ned
But sitting by her window,
AS dull as dull could be,
We saw. as TO the woods we went,
That fretful May McGee.
Poor little lonesome cripple,
No wonder she is cross;
We all OF us d light be the same"
So pleaded darling Floss.
And as we looked and listened,
We thought about a way
To make sort of litter
And carry little May.
You should have seen her wonder,
You should have heard her laugh!
We had a splendid time with May,
better time by half
Than if we'd left her pining
prisoner by herself,
As lonely as a single cup
Upon the kitchen shelf.
And since we've thought about it,
We mean to have care,
And always in our pleasant things
Let some forlorn one share;
And thus, our mother tells US,
Wen keep the golden rule,
And send the hsppy times along, =
At home, at play, in school. asa4,

We have read over carefully Ex-Sen-
tor Fontenot's letter to Mr.. NJ. L.
Swords and find nothing in it to justify
the attack made upon him by the Farm
erss' Alliance. In that letter, written to
Mr.. Swords while foreman of the grand
jury, we find nothing but sound pre-
cepts and pure moral sentiments credi-
table alike to his head and heart. We
are at a loss to guess how such a
groundless attack could have been
made upon Mr.. Fontenot in a body of
people large majority of whom we
take to be his personal and political
friends, and still more surprised that
the fair minded members of that body
did not interfere to prevent such a
groundless and unjust reflection being
cast upon the good name of citizen
whose life and character are irreproach-
able.
