Miss Mary Anderson as Our Mary, for
the brilliant and beautiful young actress

that long cherished term of esteem and en-

New View of Stanley.

That Stanley is man ofvast energy, great courage, and undaunted perse- verance, I do not for moment ques- tion. So were Cortez and Pizarro. But very much doubt whether the marches of Stanley through Africa have benefited humanity in general, or African human beings in particular. Geographically he has discovered new pond, and seen new mountain. What then? A pond is depression, . mountain is an elevation, and whether there are more or less depressions and elevations in Africa than we heretofore supposed is an exceedingly unimpor- tant matter. He has brought back Emin and a number of the people who were with Emin. A great many of Emin's people died during the process of bringing them back, whilst Emin himself, so soon as he was brought back, walked through window and injured his skull. During Stanley's marches, many Africans were laid hold of, and made to carry burdens, with the result that they died of fatigue; :; many men (dwarfs and others) who objected to his traversing their terri tories were shot, and many of their villages were burnt. Civilization has not been presented to the inhabitants of Central Africa in very alluring as- pect, and they are not likely to enslave each other or to eat each other less in consequence of their glimpses of it. One cannot help asking why this waste of energy, why all this shooting and burning, why the Africans cannot have been left aloneP-London Truth.

An Election Tip from 8 Hen,


 No little fun has been enjoyed over the many incidents that occurred on the day of the recent exciting city election in Marietta, Ga. MT. J. Spilman, who was a strong T. w. Glover man, exhibits 8 phenomenon which he says is the result of that memorable contest. It is an extreme ly large egg, measuring 6 1-2x8 IA inches, which, MT. Spilman says, was found on the day of the election, in a trough of his livery stable, having been laid that day by large top knot Dominick hen that had been about the stable for years.
 Now, this egg is not only very large one, but on one end of it is ci- pher or vignette composed of indented lines, in which the letters T. w. G. can readily be seen, and much more dis tinct than many of our great men can write them. Mayor Glover is respon- sible for saying that Capt. Church An derson discovered, by holding an egg up to the sun, the figures 1O5, Mayor Gloyer's majority, could be seen. At lanta Constitution.

Head of the Spanish Colony.

John M. Ceballos is 8 very young man, says the New Orleans Times's New York correspondent-he is not more than twenty-six years old-to oc- cupy the position of the head of the Spanish colony in New York. But he is their recognized head, although he is hardly more of a Spaniard in feeling than he is in looks. His complexion is fair and he dresses, talks and acts like hundred other successful young men of New York.
 The position mentioned has been more thrust upon him than sought rather it descended to him from his father. For more than quarter of 8 century the Ceballos family have held prominence in the south as being at the helm of the sugar market, and in the metropolis they have been given the respect due to intellect and wealth.
 The elder Ceballos came here from Spain; his wife, the beautiful Mime. Ceballos-she remained beautiful and young up to the time of her death, and, indeed, she died young-was a Cuban. Two of the daughters married into the business house, Antonina, who had black hair and eyes, becoming the wife of Mir. Hewitt, while Irene, blonde and blue-eyed, married the sec ond junior partner, a young and hand some Englishman named Beste.
 A sad and tragic fate was his. He carried his bride, Irene, 8 girl of fifteen, to England to visit his family, who had an estate in Suffolk. A fete, in- cluding feu d'artifce, was given to celebrate the arrival of the couple, and the bridegroom, descending to the eel lar to attend to the fireworks, was caught in sudden explosion, horribly burned, and, at last, died from his in- juries. Subsequently his widow mar rled again, this time with compatriot, the p0Tta Delng OpanlarO OI IaDulOus fortune.
 John M. Ceballos, jr., was edu- cated in Montreal, but early and priest ly training have not kept him from growing into modern thorough-going American. He is popular in society, but he would be that if he had no oth- CT claim upon it than his Spanish de- scent. Spaniards are popular this winter in New York. In every salon and at every tea one is sure to encoun- ter two or three, and the sound of their difficult titles is enough to make ordinary people with names like Smith, or anything with one syllable, ashamed of themselves.

A New Western Novelist.

Mrs. Mary Hartwell Catherwood, formerly resident of this city, and still well remembered here, has achieved permanent place in the lit- erary world. Her novel, "The Ro- nance of Dollard," has won golden opinions, so high literary authority as the London Athen@um saying: ssIt is more than romance in name. It is bit of the real thing at last, and proves that Mrs. Catherwood is among the few who know how to animate the past, and to recreate by-gone deeds of heroism-is, in fact, one of the chosen few in whom the light of true romance is still burning. During her residence here Mrs. Catherwood built snug cottage with the proceeds of her pen, but at that time she was writing only children's stories and had not yet at- tempted novel.-Indianapolis Jour nal.

Edmunds' office is on the ground floor, near the buffers pantry, and his library and parlors are above. The house is worth about $50, ,0OO, and the lot on which it is built cost the senator $l4, ,0O0 some years ago. Just above it is Blaine's palace, for which the rich retired merchant, Mir. Letter, pays him ell ,O0O year, and does not use it more than four months out of the twelve. Across the street from this is Senator Stewards castle, for which the Chinese legation pay him a rent of S10, 1000 year, and which the Nevada senator says he owns but cannot afford to live in. I understand that he would like to sell it and that his price is $125, ,0OO cash.
 One hundred thousand dollars seems big thing to pay for house, but Washington has dozens of such man. sions, and big transfers are made every week. I see advertised today the res idence of Stanley Matthews. The price asked is $S7, 800, which is less than tho value of the ground and the improvements. Senator Palmer, now minister to Spain, is asking $125,OOO for his Washington house. Ex-Secretary of the Navy Robeson was ruined by the owning of big house in Washington, and his mansion on 18th street has been on the market for long time at somewhere between $75 ,OOO and s10O, 1000. Just below this is the beautiful home of the late Sen- ator Pendleton, which will probably be for sale on account of the Senators death, and across the street is the great red brick which Windom built, and in which Blaine wrote the greater part of his book. This has been sold for a good round sum. Next door to Pendle- toms is Senator Cameron's old house, which has enough rooms for summer hotel, and which he sold to Morgan the New York banker for e96 ,0OO.

Eczema.

Eczema-accent on the first syllable is one of the many eruptive diseases of the skin. The blood-vessels of the parts affected are in state of con- gestion, accompanied by itching, smarting, and exudation of serum, or watery portion of the blood. The disease varies greatly in severity and extent, as well as in it's course and character.
 It's simplest form is mere redness, perhaps on the eyelids or behind the ears, or near the joints. Sometimes there are pimples. either OH the affected spots, or around them, or more or less diffused over the body.
 Sometimes vesicles-water-b -bladders = are formed by the emulation of serum beneath the skin, the special seat being the back of the hand, or the front and sides of the fingers. In few days the serum may be absorbed; the swelling subsidies, the cuticle dries up and comes off, and the skin either returns to its normal condition, or the cuticle is thrown off in scales.
 In another variety there is intense redness, profuse exudation, and the formation of thick crust, through Assures in which mucous pus exudes.
 The final period of eczema, when chronic, may be characterized by a coming off of the cuticle in thin, fine scales, or by tendency of the skin to chap and crack; sometimes the mere stretching of the finger will cause it to break.
 In some cases the skin becomes as hard and tough as leather, with an inclination to itch and throw off dry and scaly scurf; more rarely it is rough like all old wart, in which case the itching is generally very severe.
 As 8 rule, the eezma occurs in large patches, but occasionally it spreads over a large part of the trunk or limb. There is hardly any part of the body which it may not attack. It is not contagious.
 The disease may result from condi- tion of the body,-from constitutional

Gifts and Givers of Gifts.

Kindness is not so much shown in the cost of presents, but in the way of pre- senting them. There is, as German proverb says, much honor in glass of wine-which means that gentle na- ture will show much more in the way sought to oblige than in the magnitude of the gift, which may depend on the means of the giver and not on his heart felt wish to be kind. A man may be able to give an eagle as 8 charity, but may throw the gold coin SO as to avoid the touch of the needy person, and, by humiliating him, diminish the value of the gift. It is given only to few peo- pie to accompany the gift with warm, sympathetic look or smile, or a kind word, which will do more than the gift itself to console or comfort.

Sixteenth street is the wide avenue leading from the White House north to the boundary. It is one of the most fashionable streets of Washington, and lots upon it need carpet of bank notes in order to pay the sum de- manded for them. At the head of it ex-Senator Henderson of St. Louis has built grand brown stone castle, and this is about ready for occupancy. It has turrets and towers, balconies and cosy hooks, and it must have cost in the neighborhood of $10O,O to build t. It has large lot about it on the side of the hill, and it's windows give 8 view of all of Washington and miles of the Potomac valley.
 On the corner of 16th and K, in 8 big red brick, nicely furnished, lives Secretary Evarts. Evarts was great entertainer while he was secretary of state. It is said he spent $30, 900 more than his salary during his administra ton.

Mrs. Zach Chandler has just bought big lot on 18th street, opposite the Evarts mansion, and she will probably build house here as 8 residence for herself and her son-in-law, Senator Hale of Maine.
 A number of the Senators live in historic quarters. Senator Cameron paid $67 ,OO0 some years ago for the old Oglethorpe mansion on Lafayette square. It is three story brick, of a dirty yellow, with an iron portico run ming along the second story, above an English basement. The front door is painted an olive green, and the lower story contains the office of the senator and his reception room. The parlors are on the second floor and the house is nicely furnished. In this house have been entertained all of the presidents since the days of Andrew Jackson, and Winfield Scott and Martin Van Buren have often put their legs under the mahogany in the dining room. One day when Gen. Scott was dining here a violent hailstorm oc- cured, smashing the windows and bringing down Jumps of ice the size of hickory nuts. These hailstones were brought into the table, and Scott, as he dropped one of them into his wine glass, said:
 "Ladies, we will cool our champagne with celestial ice."
 Just below this house of Cameron is the home of Secretary Blaine. He rents the house, but he has refurnished and repainted it. You enter the ground floor from the street through an olive green doorway, and you find the par lors on the second floor. The drawing room is furnished in salmon tint, and the woodwork and mantels are of pearl white. The dining-room is on the ground floor, and it's walls are hung with crimson tapestry, and the chairs are upholstered in red leather. The sideboard is of old oak, and the whole house is adorned with the pictures and bric-a-brac which Secretary Blaine picked up in Europe. This house and lot is worth now at least $1O0, ,OOO day the lot would bring $50, ,OOO under the hammer. Still it was once sold for { jackass, and it was Henry Clay who sold it. It was just across the stree from the White House, and Clay hat often refused to sell it. One day how ever, old Commodore Rogers came home from the Mediterranean with hi, naval vessel full of live stock, whicl he picked up abroad. One of Clay'l hobbies was stock farming, and Rog ers' cargo included one fine Spanisl jackass. Clay saw it and wanted it The commodore refused to sell it, bu at last said, laughingly:
 "You can have him for your lot op posite the White House."
 "Done," said Clay and the anima was shipped off to Kentucky. Com modore Rogers built 8 big four-stor, brick on the ground and this bricl has been the scene of many Washington festivity. In it Blain' will entertain this winter, and in i Seward dined the diplomats when h. was the secretary of state.
