She Gave 100000 to the Church..
Engaged to a French Soldier.

Mary Gwendolen Caldwell, who subscrib-
ed 100000 to the Catholic University at
Washington, is the promised bride of Prince
Murst, a defendant of Napoleon's greatest
cavalry soldier. She and her sister are

of an English family residing at Freder-
icksburg. Virginia Their mo: her was a

the cities Of Louisville, Cincinnati and New
Orleans. Their grandfather was Protes-
tant, but their parents were converts to the
Catholic church. Mary GwendOlen came
of age in October, 1856, when she received

sister by the death of their father, about
seven years before She was educated in

Our portrait is very excellent one of q
distinguished visitor, George G. Vest,
United States Senator from Missouri. With
bis picture properly belongs a sketch,
which, regretfully, necessity compels Us
to abreviate to the limited space allotted to
a daily print.
George Graham Vest is native of Ken
tu ky, where he was born in 1880, and on
December 9th next his age will be SO
years. After college course he entered as
law student at Transylvania University,
following which he removed to Missouri,
and at the age of % became a practicing
attorney. He took early to politics, and
soon attained distinction as lurid orator
of the extreme tropical type. In 1860 he
aspired to the Legislature, and secured a
nomination and election to the Miss Ouri
House of Representatives. During the
exciting debates Of the ensuing session his
voice and vote were given on the Southern
side in the struggles which anticipated
secession and civil war, and he forfeited his
membership to become Representative in
the Confederate Congress. Having served
as such for two years, he furnished creden-
tials which admitted him to the Senate of
the Confederate States, but subsequent
catastrophies limited his term to one year
of actual experience in that body. Fol-
lowing the overthrow of the rebellion he
returned to Missouri and resumed the
practice of law, making Kansls City his
home. Mr.. Vest was first elected to the
United States Senate in 1878, and took
his seat as successor to James Shields in
March, 1879 He is an able and aggres-
sive leader of the Southern wing of his
party, and has had no little to do in shap-
ing the policy of the Democracy in opposi-
ton to protection and in favor of free
trade. His present term will expire in
March next, after twelve years service in
the Senate.

EMMA EAMES.
The New American Prima Donna
Delights Paris.

Paris, which is the center of interest this
year, has musical attraction in Emma
Eames, as Montana has in Annie Carpen-
ter, whom our music lovers have heard
with rapture, and will hear again tonight
Both of these young ladies have passed
the same courses of instruction relatively,
and each enjoys celebrity as a vocal
PRODIGY. Miss Eames is now singing at
the Grand Opera House, Paris with the
great success due to her genius and indus
try. Her debut was the event of the musi-
cal season this year in the gay capital. She
was born in Boston, the daughter of lady
who appreciated her natural gifts in the
divine art, and had the means to give
them cultivation. Mrs. Eames took her
daughter to Paris, where she studied in
the school of Madam Marchesi. Her first
engagement was at the Opera Comique,
Paris, where she drew salary but was
given no opportunity to sing. This unsat-
isfactory state of things was ended at Miss
Eames' urgent entreaty and she was en-
gagged secretly to sing at the Grand Opera.
Her opportunity came in an outcry for
better Juliette than the one performing in
Gounod's celebrated opera, "Romeo ct
Juliette." It was used with the utmost ef-
feet, and the way is plain to fresh tri-
umphs. Miss Eames has superior personal
attractions and is an accomplished actress
as well as vocalist of the first rank.

Philadelphia Record: "There is a rug
that has been in use for fifty years at least,
and it has been sashed and tori, probably
by some Arab robber but it is worth 500
nevertheless" said a prominent Philadei-
phia carpet merchant, referring 10 splen-
did piece of Persian work stretched on the
floor before him. That gives you an idea
of the valns ct An oriental rug" he con-
tinued American industry will never
produce any thing to equal it.
The Eastern rug wears forever. 1t is
made by the most tedious hand process
Every tuft of wool is tied asst to the warp
of the rug, and hence the ever. varying
patterns which could never be turned out
by a machine. The wool can not be torn
from its place, as in machine made car
pet. The clips of the famous Armenian
sheep are used in the manufacture, and
after few years use it is more like silk
than wool. But these are unique in an
other respect. Absolutely fast colOrs are
not known outside of the orient The vege-
table dye which is used there will never
fade, as will the anliine dye There are
endless shades of color, two which are not
reproduced outside the domain ofthese rug,
makers. There is one establishment in
Wisconsin which follows the eastern
method of weaving, but in the matter of
cOloripg rivalry ceases.
Second hand rugs? Why, the richest Of
them have been in use for years. Repre-
sentatives of the Constantinople merchants,
who trade with the West, are sent travel
ing through the barbarous empires, Rugs
that have been trCdden for years under the
feet of MOhammedan worshipers in the
great mosques, or perhaps for several de-
cades have bedecked some nobleman's
harem, are bought up sometimes at an ab-
surdly low price and CARED away in horse
or camel trains.
Some rugs are found which have been
made by the dainty hands of court ladies,
involving the labor of several years; but
the tendency is for the owners to hold fast
to them in the hope of realizing an i'm
mense purchase price. 1t is not an unusual
thing for Arab robbers to attack . party of
rug merchants travelling with their valua-
BILE loads, and in the fight rugs are rent and
torn like this one which you see.

LincOIn's Offer of Marriage.
IIndiananolis Iournal /

indianapolis Journal
Abraham Lincoln's offer of marriage was
a very curious one, and, singularly enough,
it has but recently come to light. Numer-
Gus as his biOgraphers have been, and
closely as they have have CLEANED for new
facts and materials it was left for the
latest one. Mr. Jesse Weik, of Greencastle,
to discover this unique and characteristic
production of Mr.. LincOln's almost un-
tutored mind. The letter is one of several
written, presumably, to the lady he after
ward married. Addressed to MY Dear
Mary" it reads as follows:
You must know that l cannot see you or
think of you with entire Indifference; and
yet it may be that you are mis- AIKEN re-
gard TO what my real feelings toward you
are. If l knew you were not, l should not
trouble yeu with this letter. Perhaps any
other man would know enough without
further information; but consider it my
peculiar right to plead ignorance, and your
bounden duty to allow the plea. I want
IN all cases to do right, and most particu-
larly so in all cases with women. want
at this particular time, more than anything
else, to do right with you; and if knew it
would be doing right, as rather
suspect it would, to let you alone, l
would do it. And, for the purpose of
making the matter as plain as possible,
now say you can drop the subject, dismiss
your thoughts you ever had any-from
me farever, and leave this letter unanswer-
ed without calling forth one accusing muir
mur from me. And will even 90 further
and say that if it will add any thing to your
comfort or peace of mind to do 80. it is my
siucere wish that should. Do not under
stand by this that wish to cut your ac-
quaintance. 1 mean no such thing. What
l do wish is that our further acquaintance
shall depend upon yourself. If such further
would contribute nothing to
your happiness. am sure it would not to
mine. If you feel yourself in any degree
bound to me, am now willing to release
you, provided you wish it; while, on the
other hand, am willing and even ~ xious
to bind You faster, I can be convinced that
it will in any degree add to your happi
ness. This, indeed, is the whole question
with me. Nothing would make me more
than to believe you miserable;
nothing more happy than to know you
we're so. In what have now said l think
cannot be misunderstood; and to make
myself understood is the only object of this
letter. If it suits you best not to answer
this, farewell. A long life and merry one
attend you. But if yor conclude to write
back, speak as plainly as do. There can
be neither harm nor danger in saying to
me anything you think, just in the manner
you think it. Your friend, LINCOLN.
Probably this isthe queerest love letter

marriage ever made. 1t is q love letter
without word of love and proposal of
marriage that does not propose. Every
