Compliments from Various Sources.

When the great Duke of Wellington
said "He always slept we'll when
Stapleton Cotton was on guard" he
paid sterling compliment which
must have gratitied that oflicer-if he
heard it-as much rs promotion in
rank would have done.
A little absurdty about compli-
ment often gives it point. A Spanish
lover is reported to have said to his
mistress: Lend me your eyes;
want tonight to kill man."
Mrs. Moore, the wife of the poet, twas
noted for her benevolence to the poor
in the vicinity of their country resi-
dence. On one occasion a guest OBJ
served: Il take it for granted that
no one is dying in our neighborhood,
or we should not be favored with Mrs.
Moore's company"
Not long ago, when a brief matri-
monial engagement was broken off, a
near relation of the gentleman, one
who fully appreciated the high quail
ties of her from whom the sometime
lover was sundered, said to the young
lady: You have only lost an ideal;
he has lost a reality" A sweet COM
pliment this. under the circumstance,
it seems to us.
A husbands compliment to his wife:
They were visitors for a few days at a
country house, and on being shown in
to their room the lady. who was nearer
40 years of age than so, prepared to
take off her bonnet. Now, be it OBJ
served that looking-glasses vary very
much in quality; some distort and some
flatter the cOuntenance.
These different qualities in glass
making are no new things, for we may
remember that when Queen Elizabeth
was dying she asked for true glass,
into which she had not allowed herself
to look for twenty years. The glass
that was on the dressing-table on the
occasion to which we refer was n de-
lightfui one-that is to say. ''tlatter-
ing" one-and as the lady saw herself
reelected in it she merrily exclaimed:
30, what charming glass! look
about Is in it." ut is just like my
eyes, then" the husband promptly
replied.

Mr.. ChiIds and Elsie Leslie.

Office in the Ledger building in Phila-
delphia chest full of nice teacups.
says the N. Y. Sun. and it is Mr..
Childs' delight to present one of these
teacups to each distinguished visitor
who calls upon him. While little Elsie
Leslie was recently in Philadelphia
playing in THE Prince and the Pau
per" Mr.. Childs sent request that the
little girl call upon him. Elsie went to
Mr.. Childs' Office, accompanied by her
mother, Mrs. Lyde, and by Dora Les

his gorgeous office, and at the twenty
clocks of wonderful design whose tick
ing Mr.. Childs loves continually to

wonders of his office to the little girl
and her bright comments pleased her
very much. Finally Elsie said:
You don't look at all like l thought
you did, Mr.. Childs. / thought you
were an old man, with long, white
beard.n
Mr.. Childs told Elsie that he was old
enough to be her grandfather. But
Elsie's remark about his age caused
him prodigious delight, and, when the
party came to take their departure.
Mr.. Childs did what he was never
known to do before-he gave his dis
tinguished visitor two teacups instead

An Interesting Old Man.

There is living in Bolivar. Pa, IAN old
gentleman named William Reese, who
was born in England on June Is, 1878,
says the Medical Record. He has al.
ways enjoyed excellent health. the only
illness that he can recall being a slight
attack of sciatica few years ago. His
hearing is impaired, but his eyesight is
still good, and he can read without the
aid of glasses. He was always very
temperate in every way. having made
it a rule to rise from the table unsatis-
fed, and although he is pretty con-
slant smoker, his method is to 90 out
on the porch for few whffs and then
return to his seat at the tireside. He
is a very interesting old man to talk
with, and steadily declines all assist
ance but that of his cane in going
about. His father and grandfather are
both said to have lived to be over a
hundred years old, and his mother also
had passed the century line at the
time of her death. He has had five
sons and five daughters, all of whom
lived TO maturity, but the special
strength of constitution seems TO have
been inherited only in the male line.
OF the sons but one is dead. and he
was killed in the war, while of the
daughters three are dead, one from
phthisis, another from cancer of tho
breast and the third from ovarian cyst.

A Curious Episode of the War.

A veteran of the - Connecticut
Regiment of Volunteers keeps at home
a handsome uniform of q Confederate
officer which was never worn but by
himself, and to which he owes some
months or years of liberty, if not life
itself.
He was tailor before the civil war,
and when he was captured on South
ern battlefield this fact reached the
ears of the commander of the prison
ers' barracks.
"Egad I'll have the Yankee goose
pusher make me new suit" said the
officer, gazing at his dingy uniform.
The fine gray cloth, gold-lace, and
bright buttons were brought to the
tailor prisoner. who worked cheerfully
away at the welcome employment. On
the evening the suit was to be deliver
ed, however, bright idea occurred to
him, and soon what was to all appear
ances spruce Confederate officer
walked past the guards, and was seen
no more in that part of Dixie. History
kindly draws the veil over the ex-
pletives vented on the nutmeg Yam
kee" for not only gaining his liberty
he earned that-but for taking that
precious suit, which cost so many hum
dred dollars of good Confederate
money!-Harper'S Magazine.

A Funeral in Naples.

While traversing one of the narrow
streets / was fortunate enough to see a
funeral, writes Naples correspondent.
Of course, was sorry for the deceased,
but was glad, since there was a corpse,
that was there to see the funeral pro-
cession, as it is one of the most curious
of sights. The corpse is placed in n
highly decorated receptacle on a raised
platform, which is carried high over
the heads of the eight bearers. Then
come about dozen of the Brothers of
The Miserecordia in their grotesque
costumes of white flowing sheet. with
heads entirely concealed by the same,
save the large holes cut for eyes and
mouth-looking like ghosts of the past.
After them came about twenty old
chaps dressed in black, with huge black
hats of ancient make. After these came
the relatives and friends, the Brothers
Of the Miserecordia and the solemn old
chaps who are hired for the occasion.
No funeral in Naples would be COM
olete without them.

are as well dressed as the Portuguese
merchants; they are officers in the
army, and they wear the robes Of the
priest, and they are often physicians
with white patients. These are the
educated negroes and half-castes. Re-
moved from them by the same barriers
of social exclusion which separate the
whites from the lowest blacks are the
laboring negroes, many ofthem Scared
and tattooed like native Africans. The
educated blacks and mulattoes. when
they are able to dress in European
style like the whites, are accepted in
Brazil by the governing race on terms
of social equality. Both affinities and
antipathies of race are less potent than
they are in America.
A striking proof of this fact was af-
forded at a wedding celebrated in a
protestant chapel. The bride was a
full-blooded negro dressed in white.
with large pair of kid gloves on her
swarthy hands, and bouquet of bright
flowers carried with no lack of grace.
The bridegroom was attired in black,
with white gloves, and carried another
bouquet. Three friends, less elabor-
ately dressed, accompanied them as
witnesses-a man and a woman stand
ing with the bride and another man
reinforcing the bridegroom. The
minister performed the ceremony with
solemnity in the presence of a congre-
CATION of seventy-iive people of every
shade of color, including many whites.
When the pair had clasped hands and
promised to stand together until life's
end the company pressed forward to
offer congratulations. The bride was
kissed by everybody-black, brown,
maroon, drab, pale-gray, and lily
white. There were Portuguese ladies
of irreproachable social position, but
they kissed the bride twice on the
mouth and congratulated the BRIDE
groom with unaffected heartiness.-

The Stove Is the Cheapest.

Modern methods of heating include
the use of open CRATES, stoves, fireplace
heaters, hot air furnaces, steam and hot
water heaters. OF these devices the
stove is the cheapest and the most
economical of fuel. OF the various
forms of stoves and surface-burning,
base-heating construction gives the
largest proportion of heat for the coal
consumed. This style, commonly
made with sheet iron bodies, arc most
ly used in the East, while base-burners
are more largely used in the West.
Base-burners are convenient because
they require filling with coal but once
a day, and are not far behind surface
burners in economy of fuel. The latter
have the merit that more frequent open.
ing to put in coal. and letting the door
stand ajar TO check the fire materially
aids in ventilating the room. Base
burners may now be had which take
fresh air from out of doors, warm it and
discharge it into the room, and which
also have exhaust fues to take the
foul air from the room. thus largely
overcoming the greatest objection to
close stoves. Wood burning stoves OF
improved revertible hue construction,
and stoves for burning soft coal with
little smoke, SCOT or dirt, may now be
had of all dealers. Surface-burners
and base-burners are now artistically
ornamented, so that they are among
the most attractive of house furnish
ings. Wood and soft coal stoves are
also now made in scarcely less orna.
mental patterns. Stoves must, on &C.
count of their cheapness and economy,
always remain the means of warming
the dwellings of the mass of the people.

A Reasonable suggestion.

Representative Allen of Mississippi

constituents-it was colored friend
and brother"-to give him a recon-
mendation in writing by means of
which he hoped to secure a situation as
Waterman or something equally inn
portant. Mr.. Allen complied with
readiness, as he new the man to be ca
pable and trustworthy. In fact, the

tionally complimentary and set forth
Sambo's qualifications in such glowing
terms that, turning to Mr.. Allen, he
said:
Look heah, Marse Allen, can't you
glib me something to do YOURSELF on dat

Allen to explain to the colored friend
and brother" that just now he possessed
not much "inflooence. " WASHINGTON

body, says that just what takes place
in the human organization to produce
death from an electric current seems 10

A WASHINGTON man has discovered
that tall, slender girls take to grey
hounds and dogs OF similar build,
while short. plump girls are invaria-
bly, seen on the streets with pugs, poo
dies, and CANNES OF kindred shape.
This is natural enough. 1t springs
from the feminine love OF symmetry.
A short, pudgy girl would appear
doubly so by the side OF u lean, long
greyhound. A tall, thin girl leading a
pug would look like broomstick.
