A Lucky Misprfnt.

Even the ''intelligent compositor'
sometimes proves to be the instrument
of great good. For an example, a
week Or so since an indignant hus-
band wrote and gave to Brooklyn
newspaper an advertisement in which
he gave notice that he would not be
responsible for any debts contracted
by his wife. He wished it to be in
serted twice, and somewhere on the
copy of the advertisement he wrote
the words for two days" These the
':intelligent compositor" interpreted,
so that when the notice appeared it
read as follows: For two days after
date will not be responsible for any
debts contracted by my wife" The
separate d couple both saw the absurd
ity Of tn e thing and concluded to take
the compositor's view of the case.
They are now among the happiest
persons in Brooklyn.

1fefused Louis NapOleOn.S Hand

Two remarkable maiden ladies have
just died, both of SIavonic race, one
distinguished for her beauty and the
other as distinguished for her ugliness.
Princess Helena Sanguszko had the
reputation of being the most beautiful
woman in Poland; indeed, the fame of
her loneliness was at one time Euro
pean. It was her own fault that she
did not become the empress of the
French. Louis Napoleon made her an
offer of marriage when she visited
his imperial court and it was not until
after her rejection of the splendid
position that he turned to the Countess
Eugene Montijo. The princess had
many suitors among the high Austrian
nobility, but she preferred to live and
die in single blessedness. She was a
woman of wide culture, and made her
ancestral castle of Gumniska veri-
table museum. She died in her fifty
sixth year.

Frightened Negroes,

A reign of terror exists among thJ
colored population of West Philadet-
phia, who believe that the medical
college of the University of Pennsylva-
MIA has a paid gang of powerful men
whose business it is to Turk about the
streets at night, with hoods and ctloro-
form and capture negroes for subjects
to be dissected by the students. It is
almost impossible to find a colored
man or woman willing to pass within
a block of the medical college after
dark, and coachman of one of the
professors was so terrified at the idea
that he became a raving maniac on
the subject and died in the state in
sane asylum. The mania has been ag-
gravated by thoughtless students, who
have played upon the fears of the col-
ored people.

Its harsh, coarse stems and leaves,
the dry, artificial-looking, scentless

to submit a question of this kind to the

they would not vote for it with such

The China Trade.

In the early years of this century
Boston had no more imposing phase of
commerce than that of her merchants
in the China trade. Hong Kong was
usually the centre in the celestial en-

stately steamers piled their way over
the vast oceans. Teas and silks were
the leading imports, but other pro-
ducts and manufactures were some
times added. The failure of the house
of Russell & Co., which was reported
revives the memory of this
picturesque phase of commerce which
was SO Important half-century or
