LONDON, March 2.-Woman's rights in
England have received, according to a tale
from Southport, blow from an unexpected
quarter. A meeting held early this week
at the residence of lady in Southport was
going on very well when mouse came out
and sat down In the middle of the floor,
That produced complete silence, during
which the women were cautiously getting
upon the chairs. Nobody had enough
presence of mind to turn out the disturber.
In the course Of whispered consultation
about mice, one woman who had come there
to enforce her rights observed that she had
heard those animals bit dreadfully, when
another woman who wanted to vote screamed
out that mouse much bigger than the first
had run up curtain. A demand for the
reform of mans injustice was temporarily
abandoned, and the meeting broke up in a
rush for the door.

Notwithstanding the Measure is Declared Unconstitu-

money paid to the Government to assist in
putting down the Rebellion, The President
says the measure is unconstitutional; that it
discriminates unjustly, and that it is not
necessary for the general welfare of the
country. He further intimates that the
actual taxpayers did not complain at pay

as they now stand. The Senate passed it
over the veto, but the measure has yet to 60

one bright Sunday, to go with her
mamma to hear papa'preach. It was a
time of great rejoicing and response

CHANGED that on this special occasion
papa's sermon was on the warming
order, and his earnest voice rang out
solemnly in the Sunday quiet. After a
moment Of breathless surprise and
horror, the little listeners soul was
wrought upon with a great pity for the
poor mortals upon whom so much
wrath was descending. She rose ex-
citedly to her feet, and, her wide, re-
proaehful eyes just peeping over the
back of the seat, called out, in sweet
chiding tones: 'sWhat for is you

Sherman at the rheater.


General Sherman is a frst-nighter,
and usually sits in an aisle seat or
proscenium box. A popularity Of the
Generals is that he seems to forget
that any one besides himself is in the
theater. He talks TO his companion
about the performers on the stage with
out regard to his surroundings. The
other night. at one of the fashionable
houses, he broke in upon silent bit OF
stage action which was being worked
out by young actress with the stento-
rian praise Of:
She's going to make an actress"
Every body near him stared. and then
laughed. The General did not appear
to be aware that he had been heard.
He settled back into his big collar with
an exclamation of contentment. At that
theater, where every body knows the
old warrior, his rumbling Interruptions
are accepted good d-naturedly. But down
at one of the Bowery houses the man
in the gallery would bring down his
rattan cane to command silence, and
the gentlemanly usher would come
down the aisle. touch the soldier on
the arm. and say:
"Soy, old man, bite on yer stories
DOW, or go outside and lose Jour voice. .

stanIeY,s Love Affair.

Henry M. Stanley, the explorer, had
an early love affair at Omaha, Neb.,
the particulars of which have been re-
sently given out on ''undoubted author
Ity." It was when he was young,
handsome and fond of adventure. He
fell in love with an actress who was
then on the boards of the old Academy
of Music-a vaudeville actress. She
was coquette, and flirted with young
bloods of the city who had more money
than Stanley. When Stanley got per-
fectly crazy in his affection for her she
arranged meeting with him after the
performance, and, posting her friends.
had them stationed behind the scenes
to observe the results. Stanley, honest
in his infatuation, knelt before the
woman and protested desperately.
She amused herself at his expense
for some time, and then called in her
concealed friends, much to her lovers 8

here-that is, from April to October;
while during the colder months the
winter wren takes the others place.
These little brown birds are exceed
ingly alike in appearance, in habits
and in size, and l shall never forget
my communicating the fact that they
were not the same, to Miles Overfeld.
1t was almost my last conversation
with him.
''Not the same?" he exclaimed. "You
might as well tell me that a snowbird
isn't chippy in its winter dressn
They are not, indeedr' replied,
astonished to hear SO remarkable a
statement.
80 you set up book learnin' against
me, about such things as that, eh?''
Miles remarked, with unlimited scorn
in both his voice and manner; and
from that time lost favor in his eyes.
Such crude ideas concerning our COM
mon birds are still very common, nor
is it to be wondered at. knowledge of
local natural history is still at dis
count. Is there a country school where
even its barest rudiments are taughtp
The heaped-up logs that, burning
brightly, made CHEEKY my room when
l sat down for a quiet evenings medi-
tation are now bed of ashes and lurid
Goals. They typify the modern wood
| piles about our farms; mere heaps of
refuse sticks and windfall branches of
our dooryard trees. Fit for kindling
perhaps, but never for a generous fire
upon an open hearth. AS l linger
over them, the irrecoverable past, with
all its pleasures to the fore, comes
back with painful vividness. The fam
tastic shapes of the ruddy Goals, the
caverns in the loose ashes, the shadows
of the andirons, the filmy thread of
smoke, are landscape to my fancy,
upon which my eyes can never dwell
again. In the faint moaning of the
wind that fills the chimney corner
hear a voice, long stilled, whose music
led me dancing through the world.
Place and people are alike changed.

And nv heart is sick with its sorrowful learning

forever and ever listen to voices
whose echoes alone can hear,
And nv daily task is the lifting Of crosses
Too heavy for mortals to bear.
Forever and ever my sad soul is longing
To look upon faces once more
That have gone out of sight since life's rosy

Past the angel who guards Heavens door.
Forever and ever I stand by the river
That parteth the living and dead,
And silently wait with my lips a-quiver,
While my eyes fill with tears unshed.

Shall whisper: "Our loss is her gainr'

HOW sovERElGNs DINE.
The Viands Preferred by Some of tn
Worlds Great Monarchs.

The Viands Preferred by Some of the
Worlds Great Monarchs.
Beginning with the offshoots of royal
houses, it may be mentioned that the
Due d'Aumale has French cuisine
onion soup for luncheon and household
bread; the only luxury admitted is
cheese made of the finest cream. With
the CoD1te de Paris the cuisine is
English and bourgeoisie. so NJ. Benigne
says, though the custom of taking soup
for breakfast is surely not English. In
the morning he uses English, in the
evening French plate, and his favorite
wine is Asti. In Italy the court dimes
around table covered with magnifi-
cent service in gold; it is the only
luxury; there are no howers, and the
dishes of the country are invariably
served-above all the fritto, composed
of a foundation of artichokes, liver,
brains and cockslcombs. The Empress
Victoria adheres to the old English
fashion, but has used more milk ever
since the first symptoms of her hus-
bands illness appeared. She is fond of
gravy, soups and pastries. At the Ger
man court the finest table is that of the
Grand Duchess of Baden; she has an
excellent French cuisine and Partisan
chef. The cuisine is rather too white,
thinks the writer-there are too many
"quenelles" and "coulis a la refine, :"
but the wines are excellent and every
thiag exquisite. The Queen of Sweden
has very tempting table and bill OF
fare-soups, almost always milk ''cat-
tie, !" and beefsteak; one of her favorite
dishes is composed of balls of mince-
meat cooked with oil and surrounded
with a garnishing of poached eggs;
then there is almost at each repast the
national plate, salmon preserved in
earth.
M. Benigne cites Queen Victoria as
an example of sovereigns who live,
comparatively speaking, more plainly
than ordinary individuals. Among the
other likings she has learned in Scot
land is one for the dish on which sgd
ney Smith and his companions cult
waited the muses., but we never before
heard it called ''une bouillie d'avoine
ct de creme porridge;" however it is
just possible that the phrase may con-
vey the right idea to the French minds,
though we should doubt it. We are
further told that the Queens favorite
wine is pale sherry, which she drinks
from beautifully carved silver cup,
inherited from Queen Anne. The
royal dinner is very complete. The
table is lighted with gold candelabra
furnished with candles; orchids placed
in epergnes rise up to the ceiling. The
Queen eats special bread square,
well cooked and of mastic color.
Among the beauties who did not eat,
one may mention Nine. Recamier,
whom very few people ever saw al
table. She ate alone, rapidly, and
that she might not spoil the romance,
scarcely ever accepted a dinner in
town. If she was forced to do so. she
came late and took only some slight
deicaey under the pfetext of illness.
Oftener she remained gantee, aud sal
at little distance from the table. II
was said ut the time that her stomachic
regimen sprung from a belief on her
part that she did not look to advantage
at the table. Glohe,
