Not long ago Gen. Corse received q
complaint from a well known woman of
letters, who passes the winter months in
Boston, to the effect that her copy of the
Atlantic Monthly was invariably delayed
much after the time when it should
naturally be received. When finally it
did come to hand the leaves were always
cut and it bore the appearance of having
been read in transit. She was inclined
to the belief that some one connected
with the postofice, carrier, perhaps,
was in the habit Of taking it home to
read before delivering it. The complaint
seemed reasonable, and an inspector was
detailed to look the matter up. He soon
discovered that the postoffice and its em-
ployes were guiltless in the matter, but
that the janitor of the hotel in which
the lady had her apartments was in the
habit of retaining her Atlantic for a
time for his own perusal.-Boston Rec

Beethoven's Inst Pinno.

The "Beethoven's House society,""
Bonn, has recently acquired Beethoven's
last piano. 1t was made by the court
piano maker, Konrad Graft, who died at
Vienna in 1851. He went to that city in
the beginning of this century, and soon
gained a reputation by the excellence of
his pianos, The instrument in question
was expressly ordered from him by
Beethoven. In consideration of his deaf
ness, il was made with four strincs 10
each key, instead of the usual three
Owing to the strength of its tones,
Beethoven used it almost exclusively in
the last years of his life. After his death
it passed into the hands of the bookseller,
Franz WINNER, of Vienna; and, after
the marriage Of his daughter to a Swiss
clergyman named Widmann, it became
the property Of the Widmann family in
Berne, Its genuineness is proved by
documents, and confirmed by the au-
thority of Johannes Brahms. 1t is now
in the house in which the great COM
poser was born at Bonn. - London

Another hydriatic method, which acts
by removing the cause of disturbance, is
the slipping of hot water an hour before
meals, in dyspepsia, writes DR., S.
Baruch, in Times and Register. The hot
water craze, which now has taken firm
hold upon the lay public, is but the legiti-
mate outcome of : 'nable therapeutic
application of Wa. yhose simplicity
commends it at one ,he Judgment Of
the intelligent ply IAN. Brought into
prominence by DR.. Salisbury, who COM
mitted the error of most enthusiasts of
regarding it as panacea for most dis
eases, it has now been adopted by the
profession as most valuable agent in
many gastric troubles. By removing the
process Of fermentation, by cleansing the
mucous membrane of mucous, it restores
tone and vigor to the gastric lining, and
enables the natural forces to come into
play. 1t is important to observe strict
compliance with the rule laid down by
the originator, viz. that the water should
be slipped as hot as possible, and that an
hour should elapse before meal is
taken. Examples of failure due to neg
lect of this rule are numerous in the ex-
perience Of all medical men.

Der Hash Vas Goot.

A Dutehman was travelling in the far
West and, stopping at a hotel in a small
town, called for dinner He was little
late, and big dish of hash was about all
that the waiter set before him. Being very
hungry, he could not restrain the anger
that boiled up in him as he looked at the
bGled-down product of the hostelry.
"See here, my frund. did'n / dole you to

| WASHINGTON, January 17th.-The cir
| cumstances of Walker Blaine's death wert
rather peculiar. On Thursday he acted q:
best man at the wedding of Lieutenant Res
of the navy. After the ceremonies he at.
| tended breakfast at the residence of the
| bride, and then made several calls. In the
evening he attended reception given Mrs
General Grant and Mrs John Mclean.
On Friday he was taken with the grippe
and gradually grew worse until Sunday,
| when the family became very much
alarmed about him. On Tuesday the doc
tors regarded him ss critically i'll, and
despaired of his recovery, but on Wednes-
day night, shortly before his death, the
symptoms we're much more favorable.
The doctors left the house at 7;30 oclock,
giving Mr.. and Mrs. Blaine cheerful in
formation about his condition, and after
discussing it they sat in the library read
ing.
At s o'clock Mrs. Blaine went upstairs
and gave Walker his medicine, leaving him
in charge of his sisters, Miss Margaret and
Miss Hattie, whom she cautioned tosee that
he was well covered. as he was in violent
perspiration.
As they sat in the room reading some
minutes later, the sisters noticed something
peculiar about their brothers breathing,
and going to his side, they found the body
almost rigid. They screamed, and their
father and mother came running up, to find
that their son was dead.
None but those who knew the Blaine
family well can understand what shock
the death of Walker was to his father, or
what an inconsolable man he will be when
he comes to realize fully that his favorite.
son is no more.
Ever since he came from college in 1876
Walker has been his fathers right hand
man, and the sense of dependence was not
only remarkable, but has increased with
years.
The Secretary had the most profound
confidence in Walkers judgment and fore.
sight, and, although they frequently differed
in opinion and sometimes engaged in warm
discussions. the fathers faith IN his son
reached further than that which he had in
in any other man.
The funeral will take placed on Saturday
morning.
