LADY HoNoRIA LEARNS PART OF THE
SECRET.
In due course this charming anonymous
letter reached Lady Honoria, bearing a
London postmark She read and reread ii,
and soon mastered its meaning. Then, after
nights thought, she took the 'Riter's" ad-
vice and wrote to Elizabeth, sending her a
copy of the letter Cher OWN, vehementIy re-
pudiating all belief IN it, and asking for o
reply that should dissipate this foul slander
from her mind forever.
The answer came by return. It was short
and artful.
"Dear Lady Honoria Bingham" it ran,
"you must forgive me if L decline to an

feet awav from me, and his sight is now as
good as that of any public man In the
United States.
General Butler was sitting side by side
with that other Massachusetts septuagena-
rian, General n. P. Banks. The two made
a remarkable picture. Both men are long
past their seventies, and the skins of both
are rosv with the iron in their blood, and
they both show sap in brains and limbs.
Both have been many times in Congress.
Both have served as Governors of Massachu-
sets Both made national regulations
during the war; and when General Butler
left New Orleans General Banks took COM
mand in his place. Since then both have
been in the thick of public affairs, and both
are still keeping their fingers on the key
board to which are attached the political
wires of the United States.
WHEN DAVIS WAS SUPREME.
General Banks is the elder of the two, and
he was a national character when Ben But
Ter was still practicing law at Lowell, and
was investing his surplus funds in buying
little houses at auction, and thus laying the
foundation of his big fortune. 1t was then
that n. P. Banks was the candidate for
Speaker OF the anti-Southern element of
Congress, and the contest was so close that
for two months the balIoting went on.
One hundred and thirty-three ballots were
taken before Banks was elected, and he was
the leader for that Congress of the North
against the South. 1 chatted with him the
other day as to the influence which Jefferson
Davis held in that Congress and with the
administration of President Pierce; and he
illustrated his statement by giving a descrip-

There is q curious fact TO be noted in
association with the exhibition of "The
Angelus" at the American Art Galleries
This is that that costly work was not in
sured for cent. The association had a
fire patrol on hand night and day, and
in case of fire certain pictures, the chief
or them "The Angelus," would have
been carried to safe place in pretty
short order. There are great many
ways out of the galleries. What with
windows on three streets and blind en-
frances on Broadway and Twenty
street, in addition to the main entrance
and scuttles leading to roofs that extend
without a break to Fourth avenue, a
great deal of property might be rescued
il fire was discovered in time.
With an efficient fire patrol ON guard,
tho association could afford to take the
chance Of insuring itself. J SEQ some
western paper has printed the story Of an
alleged plot to steal "The Angelus."
This is pure bosh. 1t would not pay any
one to steal a picture SO well known, be-
cause no dealer, collector or public mu-
scum would dare buy 1t, and any one to
whom it was offered, knowing that it
must be stolen, would be likely to put the
offerer under arrest. The attempt might
be made for the sake of possible re-
ward, but here also imagine it would
be failure, for the owners are persons Of
the sort who would rather expend double
the money to capture and convict thief
than pay premium on his felony

to be. The new member is the game
hunted by the page
On his first appearance in congress the
member is liberal, if he ever intends to
be SO at all. The young men rush to wait
on him then, and if he does not respond
quickly they know that he is not going
to be paying investment for them, and
they are less assiduous in their attention
afterward. AS a member grows older in
service he discovers so many ways of in
creasing his expenses above the limit of
his salary without giving away money
just to impress these little men that he
gradually gets out of the habit of "tip-
ping" The pages, too, have suffered
through the graceless conduct of Silcott
The members at the opening of this ses-
sion did not feel that they could afford
to be quite as liberal as usual.
Another source of revenue FOR the
boys is from the distribution Of circulars
and pamphlets through the house. Near
ly every great project that is brought to
the attention of congress from the out
side is supported, and generally opposed,
too, by the circulation among the menu
bers OF pamphlets and various docu-
ments, These are left with the door
keeper to be placed on the desks of the
members. If they are merely left with
the request that they be distributed they
do not appear on tho desks. If tho in
terested party comes back and leaves a
considerable fec for the pages he will
find the desks piled up with his circulars

A little boy was walking with his
father one day. As they trudged along
the father saw an old horseshoe lying in
the road, and babe the boy pick 1t up
and take it along.
The lad looked at the shoe carelessly
and replied that it was not worth carry

more, but quietly picked it up himself.
He pretty soon sold the old iron for a
penny at roadside smithy and invested
the coin in cherries.

man noticed that his son was beginning
to cast longing eyes upon the box Of
cherries, but did not offer any, to his son.

Hot water aud Desperate.

Another hydriatic method, which acts
by removing the cause of disturbance, is
the slipping of hot water an hour before
meals, IN dyspepsia, writes DR.. S.
Baruch, in Times and Register. The hot
water craze, which now has taken firm
hold upon the lay public, is but the legiti-
mate outcome OF valuable therapeutic
application of water, whose simplicity
commends it at once to the Judgment Of
the intelligent physician. Brought into
prominence by DR.. Salisbury, who COM
mitted the error of most enthusiasts of
regarding it as panacea for most dis
eases, it has now been adopted by the
profession MS most valuable agent In
many gastric troubles. BY removing the
process of fermentation, by cleansing the
mucous membrane Of mucous, it restores
tone and vigor TO the gastric lining, and
enables the natural forces to come into
play. 1t is important to observe strict
compliance with the rule laid down by
the originator, viz. that the water should
be slipped as hot as possible. and that an
hour should elapse before a meal Is
taken. Examples of failure due to neg
lect of this rule are numerous in the ex-
perience Of all medical men.
