Her Grace of Marlborough.

Yesterday afternoon encountered the
Duchess on tour of a picture gallery.
She is not an especially pretty woman
in spite of the adulation of the tribe of
Jenkins. She represents very usual
type of the well-bred society woman,
with brown hair, the standard blue-gray
American eyes, regular features and
somewhat ennuied expression. She is
rather above middle height and weighs
from fifteen to twenty pounds less than
she did when she was plain Mrs. Ham
ersley. This, however, is an improve
ment, rather than otherwise. She wore
tailor gown of chocolate brown with
brown straw capote trimmed with one
rather large yellowish-brown orchid.
She chatted with her two companions
with considerable animation, and her
voice was cultivated and musical. She
is making herself very pleasant in New
York, but there is o look about her
r:outh and her eyes which would not
impress me as belonging of right to a
woman who was especially happy in her
day and generation.-N. Y. Letter.

A PRACTICAL DARKY.

Trying Circumstances.

Trying circumstances.
Out about four miles from Natchez l
came across a colored man who had
headed for town with a jag of wood on
one-mule wagon. At narrow spot in
the road, where the mud was a foot
deep, his old mule had given out and
the wagon was stalled. The man sat on
log by the roadside, smoking corn
cob pipe and enjoying a sun-bath, and
after viewing the situation l asked:
''Well, what are you going to do?''
"Nuffin', boss" he answered.
''Going to leave the rig right there
until it sinks out of sight?'

"Well, you take things pretty cool, I

''Say, boss, iist sot down heah half an

he answered. ''I'ze working a common
sense plan on dis difficulty"
got down and took seat, and it
wasn't ten minutes before a cotton
team with four darkies perched on the
bales came up from the rear.
"Yo', dar-what's de rumpus ?" de-
manded the driver as he checked his
mules.

'Oh-ho. Come along, boys, and git
dat ole mewl outer his trubble."
They all got down, each took wheel,
and with ''heave-o'' the wagon was
lifted out of the mud and was ready to
go on.
''See de pint?' queried the owner OF
the rig, who hadn't lifted a pound him
self.

EMMA ABBOTT'S WEALTH.
The Snug Fortune Acquired by the Ambi'
tions American Songstress.

The snug fortune acquired by the AmDi-
tions American Songstress.
Few American songstresses, says a
New York paper, can prove the substan-
tial success that is the lot of Emma Abb
bolt, She is an example of the pluck
and perseverance of the American gir.
AT the age of eighteen she was sopsaHo
in DIR. Chapin's church in New York
and known to the communicates as a
very pleasing singer; and an operatic
future she had never believed possible,
but through the interest of friends she
was induced to go to Paris and complete
her studies. She was even at that time
the betrothed wife of Eugene Wetherell.
He urged her to accept the proposition
and she went abroad and studied with
such ardor that she inside of year had
completely lost her voice through over
work, but by careful medical attention
she was enabled to regain her former
vocal capabilities, and returned to this
country, where she was introduced TO
C. d. Hess, and coalition was formed
by Wetherell, Hess and Miss Abbott to
star the latter with the Hess English
Opera Company. Last Saturday she
walked into the Treasury Department
at Washington with an ordinary package
of brown paper, about eighteen inches
thick, carried carelessly in her hand.
General Rosecrans had one of the clerks
examine the package, and it was found
to be $135,OO0 in Government four per
cent. bonds Miss Abbott had brought
them to have them registered. This
amount represents tho partial profits OF
her stage career, and it is safe to say
that no other prima donna can match
Miss Abbott in wealth, with the exceu
ton OF Adelina Patti.

 "To every thing there is season, time to every purpose under the heaven.'' One evening last week seemed to be the proper time for Sodom mans horse to fall down in the highway and break both shafts of the wagon as the man and his wife were serenely driving homeward. Both leaped from the wagon and the man held down the horses head while the wife attempted to unbuckle the harness The straps were drawn so tightly she could not unbuckle them so she attempted to hold down the horses head while the husband unbuckled the straps, but by this time the horse began to make desperate efforts to arise and the struggle became serious and lively Now was the time if ever to hurry. but the husband proved equal to the occa- sion and quickly drawing his pocket knife he cut the straps and liberated the horse. That man can hurry when occasion requires it, 'tand don't you forget 1t.

Judge Edgerton, in accepting the lease,

HURoN's SCRIP FRAUD.

The last faint effort of the now doom.
ed town on the Jim to meet her financial
obligations is one of the worst frauds
ever attempted to be perpetrated upon the
people of the state. Having run short OF
funds with which to carry on her corrupt
campaign, Huron has now had printed an
immense lot OF scrip, representi7eg oyer taco
milton dollars. This scrip has the same
appearance as a bank not or any paper
money, and purports to be redeemable at
its face. value if Huron gets the capital
This so-called money is being passed .off
onto the farmers and the uninitiated in
consideration for work and votes for
Huron. This script is not and neuer acstl5e
acorth aaaY more than the paper 1t IS printed
on whether or not Huron should be the
capital. 1t is fraud and snare to
catch unsuspecting victims. Having
failed to float her 100000 bogus school
bonds, Huron is compelled to use some
pretext for money and to keep up appear
ances Of meeting he obligations in some
way. Think of it! Huron promises to
redeem two million dollars worth Of scrip
if she gets the capital. If we stop to
and consider this moment, the utter
transparency and righteousness of the
proposition is at once apparent. The as
sessed valuation Of Huron. does not noao
reach taco million dollars How can She
pay upstwo mirl1of d6rlarss Huron IS
Anow SO deeply in debt that financial in;
stitutions refuse TO buy her bonds or give
her money on any securities whatever.
How will she raise two million dollars aft
er election if she can't raise one thousand
now? Would any man accept the paper
OF a financial institution which he knew
was already bankrupt? Will any voter
in South Dakota accept payment for his
services in Huron scrip, when he knows
that Huron cannot pay her debts? Huron
cannot even pay the interest on her huge
Indebtedness. and it is common talk
among her citizens that Huron will make
no attempt to pay up her immense debt
after election. Besides Huron has no
more show Of being the capital than has
Wolsey and tbs Huron capital committee
know this as we'll as anyone, and they
know they can safely promise to pay any
thing and every thing contingent on
Huron success, knowing full well that
they will never be called upon to pay up.
1t is more than probable that.if the mat
ter was looked into it would be found
that the action of Huron in issuing this
scrip is highly criminal. Beware of the
man who offers you Huron scrip.
