Four nice old ladies called on Mrs. Har-
rison on Thursday, one of them bearing a
unique gift for the president, which she
delivered into Mrs. Harrison's care and
keeping. 1t was a silk quilt, blue on one
side, old-gold on the other, and was made
entirely by hand. In the absence of the
president, Mrs. Harrison received the gift,
entertaining the old ladies gracefully
throughout their call.
Caleb Cushing had little poetry i'm his
nature, but he was not insensible to the
beauties of the beautiful little Plumb Is
land, in the Merrimac. 1t was the practi-
cal and tangible, however, which most
pleased him. "What species of tree is
that 3" he asked one after another of his
fellow voyagers on a trip down the river,
pointing to a tree on the shore rather pc
culiar in form INT foliage. No one could
give him the desired information, and
the matter was soon forgotten by all save
Gushing, who never gave up a problem he
had once taken hold OF. 1t was some
days later that q member OF the party re-
ceived a manuscript in which the tree was
not only properly named and described,
but n regular botanical essay was in
cluded, the results of Cushing's zeal and
research.

Oberly, the "bishop," was a younger

pressible Joker. A member Of the
Jefferson Club, who claims to know

John was born at just l o'clock in the
morning, and relates IL e,followiug
circumstances concerning TIE twenty-
first snnivers of that event: The
entire household was asleep excepting,
presumably, young Oberly. At few
minutes after o'clock he went to the
door of each bedroom and with feigned
cautiousness aroused the sleeper, say
ing:
"There's man In the house"
Presently everybody was up half
dressed. Some ventured out into the
halls and others stood timidly in their
half-open doorways, while still
others remained out Of sight behind
locked doors.
'Come out here" said John to those
who had not left their rooms; 81 tell
you there's q man in the house."
FINALLY he succeeded in getting

StanIe,,s Last Achievement.

In the history Of exploration and a6-
venture few things are more memoir
able than the dispatch lately received
from Stanley announcing that he and
Emin Pasha are well advarced upon
their journey TO the east coast of
Africa. 1t Is almost q quarter of q
century since, to the aIDazement and
admiration of the world, a man pre-
viously unknown undertook to find
Livingstone, and found him. Of the
career thus begun it was q fitting
crown that Stanley should determine
TO rescue Emip, and should tri.
umphantly fulfil his purpose.
We had learned from former dis
patches that when Stanley, after &C.
complishiug the long and difficult as
cent of the Congo and one of its main
afiuent., first encountered Emin Pasha,
the latter was unwilling TO forsake the
equatorial province which his self
devotion had carved out of the heart
Of Africa Although cut of from
Europe by the capture Of khartoum,
Emin Pasha continued faithfully TO
humanize and civilize the people COM
United 10 his care, and he had up to
that time succeeded in protecting them
from Mahdist aggression. Should he
abandon them he knew that they would
speedily relapse into savagery and be
anew subjected TO slave-hunting devas-
sation. lie would stay at his post,
therefore-so he told Stanley-as long
as there was work for him to do.
1t is fortunate that Stanley did not
take the man, whom he had come to
rescue, at his word. Had be done so,
and returned 10 Europe by wsy OF the
Congo, we now know that Elnin must
have shared the fate of Gordon. He
cetraced his steps, however, only as far
as the place where he had left a large
deposit of arms and ammunition with
bis rear guard. Once possessed of
.hese resources, Stanley hastened back
20 the last surviving representative of
The khedive's authority in Central
Africa, but found that in his absence
Emin had been made q prisoner by
some Of his own men, and that the
eerocious Mahdists were advancing up
The Nile.
Both resSler and rescued deserve
he homage Of the world. The high
im of ENNIS self-consecrating labore

achievement will shine forth on the

A Matter Of Etiquette.

\ woman who has studied the cues
ton good bit was speaking to me The
other day Of the difference between
New York and Chicago cafe etiquette.
"In Chicago" she said, ono lady
thinks Of taking q glass of wine at
public restaurant. Should she ordey
wine for her luncheon at kinsley's OF
the Richelieu she would be socially
ostracized. AT Ders or the Brunswick
here the reverse is true. 1t is q COM
mon affair to see ladies order wine at
either of these places and nothing Is
thought of it." The New York fem
in he swell never goes 10 the opela OF

with her maid unless she is to be of
party. a veritable sensation was made
{ other night at the opera by the ap-
peaTauce of sweet creature who came
in in the middle of the second act ac-
companied by her maid. The lady was
fair ID look upon, and her frock was
very smart, but she had, as il were,
laid herself out on her Dorcas. The
maid was a very pretty girl, several
years younger than her lady. Sha
wore the stiffest and sp1artest of caps,
aud as she slipped of her pc showed
to an awe-stricken audience that she
wore black stuff gown, high-necked
but with shoulder-sleeves! Long black
gloves we're worn which did not quite
reach the shoulder and which left an
inch or two of the pretty, bare arms
exposed. There really seems 10 be no
valid reason why maid should not
expose her anatomy as well as her mis-
tress. but it is an innovation, to say the

It Is a popular error that mushroom
grow TO their full size during a singia
nighSa"d that they dissolve and vap-
ish after the sun shines upon them.
They are rapid in growth and rapid in
decay; but the same mushroom may
be watched growing and expanding
for two or three days, and then gradu-
ally decaying away. Much depends
on the dampness or dryness of the sea-
son. In some seasons they are exceed
lngly plentiful. lille at other times
they are COM /aratively rare. This
also is believr 1 TO depend chiefly on
climatic CO Editions. II is no: unusual
for cultivated mushrooms to become
attacked by parasite mould, which
renders them unfit for food. This
misfortune rarely happens to the wild
form, until it is in process Of decay.
The catacymbs of Paris are MOTEL for
their production of mushrooms in i'm

LineoIn's Half Hour as q watchman.

James Etter, an old soldier, who for
over twenty years has been one Of the
day watchmen in the Winder building
at Washington, which is occupied by
the Bureau of the Second Auditor Of
the Treasury, relates with pride an in
teresting experience he had in 1868.
AS he was alone in the building one
sultry July Sunday morning, a tall,
clerical-looking man entered from
18th street and politely asked him
whether Surgeon Barnes was in his
office. He replied that Barnes had not
been there since the preceding dav.
The stranger thanked him and retired,
but returned half an hour later with
the same inquiry. Again receiving a
reply in the negative, he said: al am
MIR. Lincoln, the President. You
allow me to take your place as watch
man, while you 20 to Surgeon Barnes
house and tell IN l want TO see him.
LeU me have your badge, and l will sit
right here in your chair and carefully
attend TO your duties till you come
back"
The veteran in relating the story.
saws that for moment he was speech
less from establishment, but quickly re-
covering himself, he pinned his badge
on the coat of the President of the
United States and hurried of after Dr..
Barnes, whom he brought back with
him. "Well," said the President, as
he returned the badge TO its rightful
possessor, 81 have proved true to my
trust as your substitute; and nothing
has gone wrong while you were awav."
The old wafcllunaO feels DrDud rn think
that he is the only policemen who was
ever relieved by the President. Sur
geOn Barnes lived on Lafayette square,
and it took Etter half an hour to go
there and back; so for that space of
time Abraham Lincoln acted as a
watchman at the Treasury Department.
