after notoriety none have been more persis-

called "Divine" Sara Bernhard. A few
months ago she attempted to assume the
character of the Virgin Mary on the stage In
Paris. She was thwarted in this by a dra-
matte censor who was not in sympathy with
the slender advertiser. Recently she took

SO the dispatches say. At the same time, or
after she recovered her ordinary state of
mind, she proclaimed her recently awakened
'piatonic affection" for Henry M. Stanley,

nate desire Of seeing his name in print; but
1t is doubtful If at the present time he de-

peace and quietness with his bride, free
from the prosecutions of designing actress.

The Boston Transcript is disturbed be-
cause Columbus, Ohio, claims right to the

For some reason as yet unexplained the
sea-serpent has not made himself quite so
conspicuous thus far this season as has
hitherto been his custom. This is not right.
1t is well into the summer already and only
one resort so far has had sight of the mon
ster. eighty feet long and as big round as a
barrel. The Boston Transcript suggests
that the Englishman who has been hypno-
tizing hens should turn his attention to the
sea-serpent and should after reducing him to
subsection guide him into shore waters and
fasten him there. 1t surely ought to be
done, for summer without sea-serpent
will never do, under any consideration what
ever.

our estimation to leave boats both big and
