also made King consort to the Queen of
Egypt. 1t was a full and splendid court;
there were councillors, lords, captains,
eunuchs and waiting women-all save Char

Charmion came not. At length Charmion
entered gently by side entrance and took
her place among the waiting ladies about
the throne. Even as she did so she cast
glance at me, and there was triumph in he-
eyes, though over what she triumphed

TlMIDlTY OF GREAT MEN.
Cushing and Choate Were Dumb In tbs
Society of Women.

Cushing and Choate Were Dumb In this
Society OF Women.
The writer knows it for a fact that
Hon. Caleb Cushing, who, with the ex-
ception of Hon. Rufus Choate (paf
mobile fratum), was the best man to sit
and listen to he has ever been acquaint-
cd with, was substantially dumb in the
society of women. He either did not
know how to talk to them, or he would
not, and he could scarcely look in the
face of one of them without blushing.
He could not look them fairly in the
eyes, in fact, nor could he men either,
for that matter. There seemed to be an
unaccountable timidity and shrinking
about him, as there was even about
Choate himself, great man that he was
And the writer would remark, in pass
ing, that he remembers, as to the latter,
that one evening at one Of the large
hotels in Boston there was reunion,
for some purpose, of the graduates of
Harvard College in and about Boston,
and Choate was one of the invited
guests. The late brilliant Josiah Quin-
cy, Jr., las he was them, presided at the
table with his usual inimitable and
piquancy. While the company were as
sembling the writer (then very young
mani was standing by himself in cor
ner, when Choate came in, with slouchy
gait and his head down, looking as con-
fused as schoolboy, and, catching a
glimpse of the writer. he rushed eagerly
toward him and grasping his arm, said
substantially, "You must help me up to
the committee" who were standing
at the head of the hall re-
ceiving the guests. We had only ad-
vanced few steps, however, when
Choate, being discovered, was pulled
hither and thither by hosts Of hands,
and the writer was left again to COM
mune with himself, or with others like
him and of his own age who happened to
be standing near; not, however, before
he had ventured modestly to remark to
Choate how surprised he was that man
of his experience and distinction should
be at all desirous of thus walking under
cover, as is were And | have stated In
a previous paper how ae always avoided
as much as possible the eyes of men and
how. when walking from his Office to
his house, he preferred to walk through
lanes and the narrowest rather than
through the broadest and most crowded
streets. He was very peculiar in this
particular. 1 have it from authority
which can not be questioned that Mr..
Cushing once, at an evening party in
Newburyport, attempting to make him
self agreeable, it is to be presumed, said
to pretty, bright-eyed girl of seventeen
or eighteen summers, and quite distin-
guished for her beauty and accomplish
ments, in the circle of her young admir-
ers: pray, Miss -, can you tell me
how love begins?' And she instantly
replied, with merry twinkle and .

When Woman Mails a Letter.

Femininity in the post office is an
amusing study. In the matter of
dropping simple, ordinary, white,
everyday letter, for instance, she
affords AZ insight into the character
of the average woman. The locker

day than to watch this little opera
tion for five minutes. Ort of thirty
young women who went t, cast their
epistles in the slot, twenty-five by
exact calculation, withdrew the let

scan both sides of the note to be
.Svery"- sure the letter was securely
sealed, properly addressed, stamped,
and to be certain no one could look
through the envelop to read its con-
tents. Out of these twenty-five
ladies three had forgotten to put a
stamp on their letter, and two had
to add something to the address on
the envelop, while another carried
off with her the letter she had in
tended to mail.-Bostoaa Record.

voting. The case came up on appli-
cation for a writ of ha6eos corDus
made by Samuel ID. Davis who is in
jail in Idaho, having been sentenced
for unlawfully taking the prescribed
test oath when he was a member of
the Mormon church. The court de-
MES the application for writ of Ao-
beas corpus, holding that polygamy
is a crime and that the constitutional
provision guaranteeing freedom of
religion is not intended to prevent
the punishment OF any person who
in the name of religion commits
crime in the eyes of the law.

The New York Journalist is quite
right when it says that the clean

most permanent circulation and pa

ELECTRICITY IN AN oRGAN-LoFT.
A Panic Barely Averted In the Church of
the Holy Innocents.

An exciting incident occurred at tho
Church of the Holy Innocents, on west
Thirty seventh street. New York, during
the celebration of Mass Monday morning.
Ii appears that this church, OF which the
Rev j. Larkin is pastor, uses electricity
for lighting purposes and for motive-power
for the organ. AT the conclusion of the
sermon Yesterday the Rev. Father Doherty
left the pulpit and the Rev. Father Ken
nedy assembled the altar steps and began
the Credo. The organist turned the
switch and set his resistance box. but the
motor wouldn't work and not sound could
be obtained from the organ. At that mo-
ment the congregation became alarmed on
seeing a large spark, which was followed
by loud noise from the electric appara-
tus.
The choir, especially the lady members
was Immediately in a state bordering on
panic. The ladies rushed for the door, but
were met by Mr.. ID. Columbus, who is ia
miliar with the working of the electric
plant, and who assured them that there
was no danger whatever. They finally re-
tired to their places. and MIR. ID. Columbus
after investigating the cause of the trouble
soon had the machinery in working order
again.
The members of the congregation who
sit in the galleries were in the mean tins
anxiously watching the mishap. and bac
the members of the choir been allowed e
leave the church there would no doubt
have been rush TO follow their example
and a serious panic would have resulted.
