THERE are people of whom one never tires,
says the New York World, no matter how often
one sees them nor how intimate the associations
may be- There is about them that air of per-
petual charm and variety that makes them de
lghttul companions. They are sure TO be good
tempered. There is never any fear of finding
them IN pet, nor prey to some illhumor
wholly unreasonable and unexpIainable. They
are pleased when you are pleased and interested
IN what you have to say. They are so sympa-
thetic that your ills and troubles become so dear
tc them that not for the world would they do
anything to rob you of them. Sometimes with
THESE bright sweet natures you find the added
charm OF originality and when you come across
Such one treasure it and preserve it as one of
the pearls of your life, for seldom indeed are
talent, originality and good nature found com
blned IN one mortal frame. A nature that is so
Tlclly endowed Is sChree-tOld talented. 1t has
the talent of magnetism, the talent of keeping
good -natured and the priceless talent of orig.
lnallty, which, as Rudyard Kipling says, is not
the discovery of anything new, but is rather
new way of looking at old things. And that
makes 1t all the more delightful.
MATRIMoNY can not change human character,
and when two persons of essentially antagon-
lstlc natures are unfortunately united in its
bonds 1t is only by the exercise of mutual for
bearance that they can hope to live together in

never mate with imbecility, nor principle with
immortality nor purity with grossness. No good
ever came OF such unions, yet they take place
every day. Passion blinds the Judgment in
these cases. and when the love-lamp goes out
and the ordinary daylight looks in, one of the
parties, at least, is sure to stand agaast at the
realities which it reveals. The most foolish
thing that fool can do is to
marry a highly-gifted womau. His van
lty-for all weak men are vain-iS sure to take
hre at the discovery, which will soon be forced
upon him in spite of his stupid ty, that his wife
is his superior. If he is OF brutal nature he
will endeavOr to shelter his natural inferiority
behind his marital authority, and taunt and
torture the being who, by right of mind, if not
falls helplessly into the position of dependent
and submits quietly TO be guided and governed
by the stronger nature to which he has allied
himself, he will simply be pitied and desoised
In either case he will have cause to regret that
he married above his intellectual degree; and
the lady, that she stopped to conquer.
LAST spring, when one of the younger min
listers OF Albany, N Y, was devisiug ways
and means for a summer vacation trip, there
was ring at the door bell and the caller upon
the minister announced The stranger intro
duced himself, explaining that he was from
Buffalo, but now of Albany, and a salesman of
BARRIERS supplies. With very few introduce
tory words the gentleman asked the minister to
perform the marriage ceremony for him in two
weeks time. Promptly at the hour appointed
the couple came. An officer Of the church had
been invited to witness the ceremony. While
the necessary papers wei being filed out the
groom opened a small travelling bag and
produced half pint bottle with glass
stopper. There" said he placing the
bottle on the minister's desk, Il leave this with
you as token" Then the marriage ceremony
was performed, congratula ions offered, and the
certificate placed in the hand of the BRIDE AS
the happy couple were leaving the study the
groom drew from his pocket an envelope aud
handed 1t to the minister. A few minutes later
the envelope was opened and the following
found: Albany, May 29-i will call on you on
Saturday Night and Pay you my fea what you
may ask" Many Saturday nights have come
and gone since then, but the enthusiastic sales
man of BARRIERS supplies has not been seen by
the minister, but he still has the bottle.
FREEDMAN's Town, asuburb of Houston, Tex,
says the Kansas City Times, boasts of a female
Samson who has repeatedly proved herself a
match for any three men that have pitted their
united strength against hers, and who q few
nights ago successfully routed Officer John Bax-
ter and three OF his assistants, all men of fine
physique The woman is negress as black as
night and of a stature slightly above the aver
age, but magnificently built and extraordinarily
active. Her grip is such that she was able to
break two of the bones of the hand of q woman
with whom she had fracas recently and it was
on the police attempting to arrest her that she
not only was able to prevent then from putting
the handouts on her, but taking the officer and
his posse, one by one flung them out of the
house and closed and locked the door, Baxter
in particular, is accounted a man of unusual
strength, and is of large build but he SAYS his
muscles we're as child'S when compared with
those OF the black amazon. The woman who q
name is Caroline jenkins, is about 80 years old
and is the mother of seven children. She has
been seen 10 pick up barrel of flour and carry
1t a distance of some yards without appearing
to overexert herself, and when tested was found
to be able to break with ease new grass rome
an inch In diameter. Since her exploit with the
police it is said that party of gentlemen pro-
pose travelling with her if she will go and give
exhibitions OF her strength. which is to be as
cribed to no electrical or magnetic process, but
to muscular development alone.
THE strange custom in America of appointing
men to offices without any regard to their pre-
vious career or occupation, says the Pail Nah
Gazette, frequently leads to the most extraordi-
nary Incidents, which to English readers unac-
quainted with transatlantic life would appear
extravagant even if they witnessed them on the
stage of some theater devoted to opera bouffe
Thus, what can be more comical than the con-
