Louis Willis, was a schoolmate Of General
Washington, his cousin, who was two

very remarkable. Whilst his brother and

A good story is told on IL popular

genius canine. The yonng lady has
an ugly, snarling. growing little pug
dog, which she has made The idol Of
her heart. This young lady went
south some weeks ago, and, fearing
that the Jules of the slecping-car con
pany might separate her little darling
from her, she adopted Il clever ruse to
deceive the porter. A full set of baby
clothes was prepared for his pugship,
and on the day Of the departure lie
was deckcd out in long skirts. Ancat
little hood and Il heavy veil completely
concealed his identity. The supposed
young mother was the object of a
great deal of interest to the other

with all sorts of embarrassing inter-

the ruse and were especially attentive
to baby's wants. One old gentleman

When night came everybody wanted
to kiss the baby good night before the

diplomacy on the young lady's part to
prevent disastrous consequences. The
veil could not be removed under n
circumstances. Baby was very Young
and very delicate, and the doctors

off the veil" So everybody kissed
baby through The veil and everybody
went to sleep. About midnight the

A Cure for the Nose Bleed.

of Kaiser Friedrich, | was attacked with
nose bleed and was obliged TO retire from

lowed Into the adjoining apartments by
the medical knight, who told me of his
simple plan of stopping the flow of blood.
II is as follows: Grasp firmly the nose
with the finger and thumb of the right
hand for fully ten or fifteen minutes, thus
completely stopping the movement Of air
through the nose. This will stop the
hemcrfhage without any danger of a re-
ncwed attack"

BULKELEY ON A STILL HU MI.

BULKELEY ON A STILL HUNT.
 It has long been an open secret that Governor Bulkeley has the senatorial bee in his bonnet, and it is being whis- pered aloud now in republican circles that Senator Hawley's seat is the ob- jective point of his attack. How he hopes to achieve his ambition is told in special dispatch to the Boston Herald.
 Senator Platt's term of service expires next year and it is a foregone conclusion that Hon Samuel Fessenden of Stamford will make an attempt to become his suc- cessor. The scheme to work Governor Bulkeley into the senate is said to be as follows: Influential republicans are, it is said, about to urge the administra- tion to appoint Senator Hawley minister to Russia. If the favor is granted, then the rest of the scheme is simple. Governor Bulkeley will resign and Lieutenant-Governor Merwin will step up to the gubernatorial chair and appoint Morgan G. Bulkeley senator to fill Hawley's vacant seat. Leading re- publicans in the state are of the opinion that Hawley cannot be again reelected to the senate after the expiration of his present term in 1893. He has many political enemies in the state, and probably would not care to be made target for their attacks in 1893. Bulkeley would be satisfied to fill Hawley's un- expired term with the prospect of a re- election for full term. The only hitch in this programme is that Hawley might not be willing to accept the Russian mission, and that Lieutenant Governor Merwin might refuse to become a party to the scheme. Friends of General Merwin are of the opinion that he would have nothing to do with it unless Hawley is willing. It is quite likely, however, that way will be found to swing General Merwin into line if the rest of the goods can b.

A tabby cat belonging to the family of David B. Paul, of Wallingford, Pa., is re- ported to have committed suicide while grieving over the loss of her family of five kittens that had been drowned in order to keep down the cat population. When the old cat missed her offspring she went tear. ing over the house, showing her great dis tress by loud moving. Failing to find the kittens after a long search she went up to the third story and deliberately jumped out on the porch roof below. When picked up old tabby was dead, her neck being broken in the fall. ---

A Summer Sonnet.

It is the summer time; sweet odors rife From flower lips, breathing fragrance, fill the
 air,
 For Earth's great heart is warm with rich, full
 life,
 And golden sunshine fingers everywhere. Bright blossoms crown the mountains rugge d
 brow,
 And happy birds make glad the verdant wood |, Where, tinkling low meath overhanging bough, A brooklet seems to murmur God is good" Fair roses blush, as wooing breezes pass. And roseate clouds wait on the radiant morn; |; While, from her lowly home amid tho grass, The lark scars far: ve the ripening corn, Singing her Makers i.ra.se in strains sublime, Sing too, sad heart; 1t is the summer time!

CORPORAL TANNER IN BRASS.

Corporal Tanner has hung picture of himself, framed in brass, on the wall of his pension office. At the same time the dispatches that tell of this announce that the president is unwilling to have Tanner whitewashed and that he does not want him elected commander-in- chief of the Grand Army.
 In view of the record made by Cor poral Tanner since he took charge of the pension office he could be framed in nothing more appropriate than brass. But many will wonder why he should believe himself in need of artificial brass when he had enough natural brass in his face to make frames for all the big guns connected with the administration. If there was any danger of his own supply giving out he might have squeezed some from his friend Lemon or blocks-of five Dudley, either of whom has enough to stock we'll equipped brass foundry. And then there is the republican press that is upholding him ill his raid on the national surplus-there could be no lack of brass while they survive.
 Tanner went to the wrong brass foundry. He could have found enough of the metal nearer home.
