How the Latter Meddied With All the
Great Sovelist's Affairs
Il is hard TO understand how Dick
ems put up with Forster. The great
novelist was a good man of business,
even before he came in for the inesti-
mable privilege of Forster's guidance;
but after the ''h'arbitrary" person
took him In charge he was always
treated as a more or less helpless in
FAINT, and he accepted the situation
with a comical patience that was all
his own.
Forster interfered in Dickens lit
erary affairs, In his monetary af-
fairs, In his business affairs, In
the minutest of his social affairs,
and, most of all, in his family
affairs. How the incubus was en-
dured none can tell. Sometimes
Dickens objected, and told his men
tor some salutary truths; there then
ensued a quarrel of some duration,
and good deal of verbal sparring by
no means light in character; but in
the end Dickens real esteem for his
bearish friends sterling character al
ways caused him to relapse into
amused tolerance.
One example of Forster's colossal
capacity for meddling would be reck-
oned as incredible, had not so many
people been present when the III arbi-
trary" philosopher made an exhibition
of himself. At somewhat large din
ner party Dickens happened to men-
ton that he had five children. The
meddler could not miss the chance,
so he shouted:
mo, you have mott You know you
are wrong by one. You have only
four living"
This tremendous piece of impudence
was doubtless uttered with a purpose;
it meant:
"You may think that there are some
matters which you can decide with
out my assistance, but I assure you
that you are quite wrong"
Dickens smiled and said, mildly:
''My dear Forster, you must really
allow me to know something on that
point"
We should think so, and we should
have thought that the polite astonish-
ment of the assembled guests might
have curbed the exuberance of the In
effable meddler; but he seems to have
gone on gayly to the bitter end, and
he closed the proceedings by writing q
biography of Dickens which may be
better described as 1.-THE Autobiogra.
ply of John Forster, with Incidental
References to Charles Dickens" So
strongly did this most heroic of med
dlers wish to thrust himself forward
that he compelled those who loved
Charles Dickens to publish collection

were, for the breath of life upon the

Flood Incidents.

Some curious incidents of the foods
in Pennsylvania are reported. A man
called at the relief headquarters in
Pittsburg and asked for a suit of
clothes. After he had been fitted he
remarked that he had plenty of
money, but clothes We're what he
needed. A resident of Williamsport
put two pigs in his parlor for safety,

phosed, as they say in the books, that
it made my head ache to recognize
him, and man with less mansard
roof to his forehead, though far greater

him pass unchallenged.
So did I, for that matter, but I was
at great pains not to lose sight of him.
His low-crowned linen hat and long
duster had given place to high silk
tile and broadcloth coat, while his legs
were engaged in a pair of shapely,
ight-colored trousers.
Pausing in his walk, he seated him
self upon rustic bench, behind which
was bracket and board sign, "Look
out for paint!''
Whether it was the pongs of his
guilty conscience or the odor of the
lead and oil, shall never know, but
he soon leaped excitedly to his feet,
caught up his coat-tails, and looked
searchingly behind him.

A Heroic Woman Gone.

A new-made grave in the National
Cemetery, Preside, marks the last
resting place of Margaret Molloy.
There is not O soldier who has served
in the First Artillery Regiment during
the past thirty years who did not know
and love the woman whose life has just
gone out.
Margaret Molloy was the daughter
of the First. She had followed its for
tunes for the past thirty years.
Born in County Mayo, Ireland, she
came to this country when little girl,
and from that time almost up to the
hour of her death her life was an event
full one.
The booming guns which marked the
opening of the civil war were her we'd
ding bells, for beneath the stars and
stripes floating over Fort Sumter
Margaret was married to one of the
little band of soldiers comprising the
command of Major Anderson, and when
the garrison marched out of the fort
they had so nobly defended, Margaret
Molloy marched with them.
She was eighteen years of age then,
and through the long years of the civil
war she followed the fortunes of the
First, caring for the sick and wounded,
nursing back to life many soldier
who, but for her aid, would have filed
an unmarked grave. For her services
Margaret Molloy more than once re-
ceived the thanks of the commanding
General, and her name has found fre-
quent place in the army reports.
At the close of the war Margaret and
her husband still remained with the
First Artillery Regiment, and with
that command came to the Preside
in 1881.
In February last her husband, John
Molloy, Battery &C." died, and was
buried with military honors. He, too,
was q native of Ireland, having been
born in County Westmeath fifty four
years ago. He had served longer in
the First Artillery than any other
soldier in the regimgnt, and his fune-
raj was attended by all the officers
stationed at the Preside.
And now Margaret Molloy's wish
that her life should end has been full

Philadelphia (Pa.) Herald, May rs.
The mother of little John Kilgallon, of 2O41
Fifth street, says her boy is lucky child.
He was born on July 18th. 1870, and now has
$4,000 in bank. Johnnie earned five
cents every day by carrying dinner for a
neighbor to his work shop. The weekly saw
ings were deposited in small bank at home.
Ten days ago the father went home and re-
marked to his wife: "If had dollar now,
l would invest it in Louisiana State Lottery
ticket" The son heard the remark and
quickly said: "Pop,. got a dollar in my
bank. Buy ticket for me-" After talking
over the suggestion with his wife, the hus-
band agreed to invest the dollar, and one
twentieth of ticket No. As $50 was purchased
in the name of the boy. Luck smiled on the
investment, and on Thursday last telegram
was received announcing that the ticket had
drawn the first capital prize of $500, 900. He
soon learned that the money was on the way
to this city in the custody of the Adams Ex-
press company, and by giving proof that he
was the boys father, received the SIS, 600,
that being one-twentieth of the capital prize.

er, and so was the guard. Presently q
partridge passed, quite high over their
heads. Both sportsmen fired at the
same time, and the bird fell. It was
brought by the Emperor's servants.

Charles, killed this partridge?"
1t was T." said the guard.
"Thou liest, scoundrel," said the
Emperor.
He had hardly spoken when the
guard struck him so severe q blow in
the face that he could hardly keep his
feet.
Charles first movement was to point
his gun straight at the audacious
guard, and pull the trigger, but the

had not been reloaded.
While the Emperor was reloading he
decided that he would not shoot the
guard on the spot. He sent him to
prison instead, with orders to prepare
for his execution.
"Your fault is the greater" said the
Emperor. because there was doubt
whether thou didst really kill the
bird"
@There is no doubt, sire, in my mind, ;"
said the guard. "Will you permit me
to see the bird?"
The partridge was brought, and the
guard showed the Emperor that it had
been killed with ball from his rife.
The Emperor had been using bird-shot
all day.
The Emperor felt little remorse at
this, but did not countermsnd his or
der for the guards death; but at the
last moment he had the man brought
before him.
''Dost thou repent of striking me?"
'eNo, sire," said the guard. ''1f I had
q thousand lives, and your Majesty
should tell me thousand times, with
out reason, that I lied, a thousand
times would put my fist in your face

The Emperor sat pensively for some
time revolving the matter in his mind.

"My reign has need of such men as
you, after all. I wish there were
thousand like you! Live, and be

Mammoth Corset Enterprise.

One of the leading and largest manufactu.
rers of corsets in the United States has hit
upon the very novel plan of making corsets
for each season of the year. It has been
known to the ladies themselves for years
how cumbersome and uncomfortable the av.
erage corset is in the summer. This compa-
ny now manufactures line of open mesh,
specially stiffened corsets, warranted to keep
shape perfectly and add gracefulness to the
figure. The goods are being adopted through
oat the country, and are becoming absolute
~ indispensable for summer wear. The pub
fishers of the Housekeeper, of Minneapolis,
Mimi, with characteristic enterprise, have
placed an open order for thousands of pairs
of these corsets to distribute among their
lady friends throughout the entire country.
1t Is one of the boldest steps yet taken by
any newspaper publishers, and it will be inn
possible to estimate the number of ladies'
that will be directly benefited by it. No
leaders of fashion or authorities on dress,
have failed to endorse these summer corsets.
In this day of modest dress and correct
taste, it is to be hoped that comfort will al
ways reign supreme in the matter of our la
dies wear.
