Christopher Columbus is to be made

Those who never lead any one TO the
grace OF holiness. but always disturbed

1t must be something OF a salts

a little money. and then make it al

the Duchess sold her wonderful gems

PARALYSIS.
The Peculiar Result of a Slight Attack
of the MaIady.


The Peculiar Result of Slight Attack
of the MaIady.
One OF the most noticeable results
OF slight attack OF paralysis, says
the New York Tribune, is the tendency
to substitute the wrong word, or even
sentence for that which Is intended,
quite unconsciously, on the part OF the
speaker, who can not comprehend why
he is not understood. To a patient
who felt very much discouraged be-
cause he asked to have the window
shut when he meant to say. Fetch
me some water" a noted specialist re-
lated the following incident: A promi-
nent man in Boston. who had a slight
shock but who apparently had quite
recovered, wished some nails and
went into a hardware shop to purchase
them. Il want dozen or so of arch
angels" he said to the somewhat mys-
tilted clerk I'VE do not keep them,
sir, was the response. THAT is
into another shop and asked again for
archangels. Again the smiling clerk
told him that they did not have them
Quite veXed at his failure to procure
such simple things as small nails, he
tried the third time with like result
and finally gave it up in despair Il
never saw anything like the stupidity
of these shopkeepers, he declared to
his wife at dinner; II went into three
hardware shops after archangels and
could not get them" After whatr'
exclaimed his wife; and it was not
until after she explained her astonish-
ment that he realized what mistake
he had made.

THE sweating system has no advo-
Gates who have publicly espoused its
cause. Unlike many other things
involving human want and sin, it is q
matter that admits of no discussion;
1t is absolutely without mitigating
attributes; there is but one side TO it.
The most that can be claimed in its
favor, even by the sweater himself, is
that it affords him a living; for to the
poor wretches in his employ, it offers
only slow death. And it may be
seriously questioned whether. if the
adjustment OF the system meant also
the extinction OF such men as had
used it as a means of subsistence that
were mot in itself, a benefit TO the
world at large. AS n system, this
hideous scheme OF human greed can
not be supported by a single argument

WHEN the rulers of Europe had set
tied themselves firmly on their thrones
once more after the remarkable revolt
of the people in 1848 the United States
became the asylum OF numerous dis
tinguished refugees who had led in
the abortive movement for free gov
eminent To these strong men this
nation owes much, for they were in
accord with all its institutions save
that Of slavery. AS citizens of the
republic they worked manfully for the
overthrow Of the traffic in human
beings. There can be no doubt that
the tonic quality OF the fine European
thought brought to the United States
by the scholarly men who had struck
so brsvely for freedom at home did
much to correct the vicious sentiment
concerning slavery then prevailing in
this country sod to prepare the north
for the great events which crowded
upon it decade later.

Mr.. WILDE, to whom Mrs. FRANK LEsLIE
was married last Sunday evening. il de-
scrlbed as tall and stalwart man Of thirty
nine Yeas. It will not belpassing the
bounds OF propriety to say that his bride is
older than he. She must be many years
older. and she has been married twice be-
fore. Yet both she and Mr.. WILDE declare
that only romantic love prompted their
union. DR.. DKKars in marrying them Joined
two hearts and blended two souls. they say.
All the circumstances also indicate that
only passionate love was the motive Of the
marriage. II MB. LESLIE had married the

charged with an ambition to wed . title;
but Mr.. WILDE has neither title nor for
tune. He is a journalist" says his bride.
"aSd he IL going to help me In my work. !"
OF course. she could get the assistance Of
journalist without marrying him. and
therefore her romantic attachment for
Mr. WILDE is made manifest. It seems also
that he fell In love with her in London
ct flrst sight. and was 30 much enamored
TINT when she returned to this country
from England he followed her forthwith
and pree sed his suit with 80 great ardor
and impetuosity that "the whole affair was
arranged two days after he arrived" That
Is. he resched New York ON Wednesday, on
Fridsy they were betrothed. and on Sunday
they were married. Yet when Mrs. LESLIE
left Lond,m three weeks ago there was no
thought Of the engagement on her side. she
says. Mr.. Wilde seems to have won her
heart by the violence and rapidity OF his
assault.
Their marriage. therefore, has all the
marks Of a genuine romance. Age has not
chilled the passion Of her heart, and his
comparative youth has only increased the
fervor Of his affection. The hesitation. II
hesitation there was. seems to have been on
her side and not on his. He was impulsive.
impetuous. and she exhibited the caution Of
superior years and longer and wider expert
ence; but at hast abe yielded to the DONNA
ton Of love.
This shows that even in their mature
years women may have power to capture
the hearts OF youthful lovers. II they chose
to exercise it. undoubtedly many moro Of
them could marry men very much their
juniors. Many girls Of from twenty-five to
thirty years could marry lads Of seventeen
or eighteen II they were 80 minded, and
women as old as Mrs. LESLIE oftentimes
are able to excite tender feelings In the
breasts of men Of half their age.
That SO few women make use of this
unquestionable power is proof that the
customary superiority in age on the side Of
tho husband Is enforced by law Of the
feminine nature. Women have the selec-
ton OF mates. and usually. even when it Is
in their power to get those who are
younger. they choose those who are older
than they. sometimes much older. or they
insist ON the superiority in age in the man
even when tho requirement shuts them out
from marriage altogether.
Yet the number Of marriages whore the
wife Is much older than the husband seems
to be increasing in our day. and almost in
varisbly they appear to result in happiness.
