STRANGE CONDOLENCES.
Walter Besant's Experience with An Ar
tlSt and a LOve-SIck Youth


tist and n I.ove-Sick Youth.
Walter Besant has lengthy paner In
the Independent on condolences, with
examples from his own experience.
Three of them are as follows:
The following Is an illustration of the
coincidence that can not be classed-
the coincidence startling. The other
day l was consulting with an artist
about the face and appearance of a
character in novel which he was illus
trating. "Do you know" 1 asked,
"sach a one?" He had never met the
man, :'Well," said, "T want some
such face as his" so briefly described
the'kihd of face. Meantime his, pencil,
which is one of those pencils which can
never keep still, went. ON working.
Glow Is that?" he asked, showing mo
the exact portrait of the man in NV
mind whom he had never seen.
pass over the condolences which
can be, explained by the. fact,that many
minds are engaged upon the same sub
jcct at the same time. Itwas no coinci-
dence when the Tichborne case was
being tried for a stranger in the train
to address you on the Subject, your
own thoughts being also occupied with
II. A coincidence which can be ex-
piained by natural causes is q sham
or bogus coincidence. And since there
are condolences SC. many and SO various
that one might. go on like a brook for
ever ripping. about them, I will end
with the coincidence oracular. OF these,
three occur to me. . ~
There was once swain in love-: he
was disconsolate swain, one of those
who whistle reed of melancholy on the
mountain side. The reason, of his sad
ness was not that he had been dismissed
by that Lady, but he feared to be dis
missed by the lady's papa. The ex-
Equity of the outcome, in fact, could not
be denied. This sorrowful shepherd
wandered forth in tho unsympathetic
London streets, expecting nothing
but shinty-hearted GOODNESS. Sudden
ly he raised his dropping eyes. He
saw over a shop-front. written plainly
in letters foot long: s'Cliford and Mar
riage"--the lady's name, was. Clifford.
He started; he read the words again; he
accepted the omen; he walked briskly
home and wrote a letter with iocund
heart, and he has now been married for
fifteen years. I ought to know, because
l was present at the wedding and signed
the register.

A HoRSE:S MEMORY.

He Remembered tho Trick He Had Played
..--...r.s Two Years Before. E.
:, <rSay, friend, you are on my horse"
said one gentleman to another as he
refined his horse before the door. ;.
D"Your, horsel Oh, mol Why, bought
this horse two years ago." ...- -
tYou did?" answered the other. "Well,
I lost my horse. It was stolen just two
years ago." ...'',
Tho conversation took place under the
far-spreading oaks Of an old-time plan
tation home, says the st. Louis Globe
Democrat. A planter was surprised to
see his horse return home after two
years, and ridden by q gentleman who
evidently had bought the horse in good
faith. After some conversation the old
owner Of the horse, with much earnest
ness, said: "Well, sir, If you will dis
mount, unsaddle the horse, and he
doesn't go to the fence, take the bars
down, walk to the we'll, and If he doesn't
find water in the bucket let it down the
we'll, and then walk off to his old stable,
! will give up, and that horse isn't
mine." "Atyour word; the horse is yours
If he does all that" cried the visitor,
and leaping from the horse, unsaddled
it,. What was his astonishment when
the horse went straight to the fence, let
down the bars, CROSSED over, went to the
we'll, and finding no water, let the
bucket down, and then, as though he
had left home but yesterday, walked to
the old stable. The animal remembered
the trick and the owner recovered his
horse. There are those living who can
attest to the truth of this story, though
1t happened years ago.
Tho Old Way Much Better.
"Rubbing alcohol on the lips to make
them cherry-red is all very pretty for
awhile" said leading doctor recently,
as a young lady passed him, "but the
alcohol hardens the skin and soon
leaves the girl with disagured lips"

stanley's Eyes.

The marvellous influence which STAN
lev exercised. not only over his Zanzi-
bari followers. but also over all the ma
tives with whom he was brought into
contact during his tranSafrican expedi-
ton, is attributed by his European
companions 10 the peculiar expression
of his eyes, says the N. Y. Tribune.
One of the latter describes them rs fol-
lows: lie first looks az the natives as
IL he were going TO eat them, and then.
when they give in and do what he
wants. he looks as if he had done SO
and was grateful 10 them for the meal"
His eyes are stated TO frequently dis
play that strange, PARKWAY light which
constituted the most striking charac-
teristic OF the late Gen. Gordon's per-
sonal appearance. Gordon. like STAN
ley. seemed 10 possess kind OF super
natural influence over the natives of
Africa, who regarded the puny and
misunderstanding little general with the
same awe rs they manifest toward
Stanley
Stanley's present visit TO Cairo re-
calls the fact that the first time he
passed through the Egyptian metro
polls was in 1868, when on his way To-
join the British expedition TO Abys-
sinia. On that occasion England spent
sum of fS. 600. 900 To effect the rescue
of eight persons from the cruel hands
OF King Theodore. Stanley now re-
turns after lapse OF twenty-five event
ful years TO the banks Of the Nile with
the proud consciousness of having res
cued 800 persons at a cost to England
OF ESQ. 900. Stanley's reception on his
arrival at Cairo was more magnificent
aud enthusiastic than any that have
ever been accorded To the crowned
heads. special ambassadors. or victor
ious generals who have passed through
the khedive's capital during the last
thirty years. The most characteristic
feature Of the scene. however seems
to have been the fact that. apparently
unconcerned by the ovation with which
he was greeted, Stanley's sole preoccu-
patton was about the safety OF his bag
gage.

company eight times each one in turn

something like the old English custom
