Good Chance to Take Him at His
Word.

The curtain had risen on the first
act of Richard ILL.," The house was
crowded-fashion in the pit and boxes,
quiet responsibility in the first bal
cony. and the ''profanum vulgus'
watching with eager interest from the
gallery rows. 1t was the scene in
which Richard wooes, beside the bier
of Henry VI, the widow of the prince
whom he has slain. The aud'eEce was
hushed in admiration as the willy
sutton, kneeling before Anne, offered
his sword to her, and barred his breast
for her to strike.
Lol here lend thee this sharp-pointed sword,
Which if thou please to hide in this true
breast
And let the soul forth that adOreth thee.
/ lay it naked to the deadly stroke,
And humbly beg the death upon my knee.
The lady raised the sword and fall
tered. But in an instant a gigantic
negro. his face ablaze with enthusi-
asm, leaned far over the rail of the
gallery. shook his fist in the air, and
shouted, in stentorian tones: Kill
him. by G., kill him?'
It was too much for the gravity Of
the audience, and the disturbance that
followed covered the noise of hasty
exit from the gallery. N. y. Tribune.

What the Millionaire Eats.

It is rather an accepted idea with a
great many persons that New York's
wealthy citizens feast daily and per-
ennislly on costly viands and rare
delicacies. Such notion is erroneous.
There are great many talented cooks
employed by the rich residents Of the
city and great many choice and ex-
Qtisite dinners are served in the course
of the year, but these alternate with
very simple ones. Here is an actual
dinner eaten last week in the house of
a three-times millionaire of birth as
we'll as fortune. There was cream
soup, PURGE to begin with. q steak
with two vegetables, a salad of lettuce
with dressing, and dessert of stewed
rhubarb with coffee and bit of cheese
and waters to finish. What farmers
wife would not consider beefsteak and
stewed rhubarb a sufficiently homely
repast?
But this meal as it was eaten lacked
nothing of relish or elegance. 1t was
served by butler in beautiful din
ing-room, soft with wax lights and
rich with tapestries and handsome fur
nishings. The diners. consisting
simply of the family, were in conven-
tional dinner dress; every article of
food was deliciously cooked; the steak
was four inches thick and broiled to II
turn; single wine Of choice vintage
gave a zest to the reDast; and if ever
art lurked in stewed rhubarb it did in
that particular dish of the compound
clear square pieces Of the fruit float
ING in transparent siruD of absinthe
green. 1t is the manner, not the mat
ter, of New York's private dinners
which gives them their reputation.

RARE OPPORTUNITIES.
What the South Has to Offer the Home
Seekers.
Rich Lands .at Low Figures-EarIy Crops at
Fancy Prices.

A certain small town in Louisiana, and
another in Mississippi, on the line of the
Illinois Central r. r., but few years
ago had absolutely no commercial impor-
lance, and from them not a dollars worth
Of produce twas sold to distant market.
This season, however, it has required
from one Of them, an entire fruit refrig-
orator car every day for six weeks to
transport its early Crops to the Northern
markets while from ten to twenty car
loads per day of vegetables Were shipped
during the season from the other. This
is but single illustration, and by no
means the most forclble one that could be
presented, of the rapid development of
certain sections of the South in a prOtita-
BILE agricultural section. There are
many localities in that section. particular
ly in Tennessee, Mississippi, and Louisi-
ana, on or near the line of the Illinois
Central Railroad, that, although as yet
undeveloped, are capable of'easy cultiva-
ton, and will grow the finest kind of fruit
and vegetables. Lands we'll adapted to
growing early strawberries and grapes, Of
quality to bring fancy prices in the mar
ket, can be obtained there very cheap
in some instances as low as S1.00 per acre.
The availability OF the Illinois Central
fast fruit and vegetable trains for sending
the crops to profitable markets adds but
final weight to the security Of its being a
profitable enterprise to engage in the de-
velopment Of these lands. For informa-
ton as to locality, topography Of the
country, character Of the soil and pro
ducts to which it is especially adapted,
prices, and kindred matters, as we'll as

THE PATHos OF UCLIN5ss.
A Few Tears Which She May Not APP
precfate Shed Over the Plain Woman.

There is a small doubt as to how
majority of women of average good
looks would answer the following
question: Which would YOU rather
be, regnant in the world of letters
or art or gifted regally with fault
less beauty before which all men must
thrill? 1t is more than likely that
ninety hcmely women out of any hum
dred would in honesty prefer the pow
er that goes with personal loneliness to
that which goes with wealth with the
accident Of lofty birth, or with the
rarest intellectual distinction. 1t was
a shrewd observation of the late Dr..
Holland, that when we find man or a
woman who is absolutely fawless in
form and features we usually find
fool. For homely-even an ugly
man." he said I have no pity to
spare. never saw one SO ugly yet
that if he had brains and Il heart he
could not find q beautiful woman sensi
bic enough to marry him. But for the
hopelessly plain and homely sisters
these tearS!"
There is no pathos in human life SO
profound and universal rs this-not
upon battle-fields not in the wild, vain
struggle of a soul adrift. seeking its
God. The ugly woman is in every
village in the world, living out her
little tragedy. In every worthy, wom-
anly quality she may and is likely to
be the superior of her pretty sister; she
is tender, she is meek, she is true. But
men yield her a snug respect and
turn to her sister with eyes of passion.
She has heart~hunger, and sometimes
when she either does not possess gifts
Of mind or strength to cultivate them,
she starYeS into that stolidity which
appeals to one of gentle feeling as
does the look of pain afloat in the eye
of a faithful wounded dog. 1t is
worse still to see her slowly brutalized
by an migrate upon whom she has Law
ished love that is next to the divine.
1t is love like hers, indeed, that should
be the proudest boast of the human race
so clean it is. SO enduring SO won
derful in devotion and self-sacrifice;
but it is love like hers, instead, that
fills the world with sorrow, fills its
asvlums and graves.
This love has been sketched adroitly
in fearful tales By many noyelists; best,

The past week was notable for the num-
Der OF meetings of ladies interested in vari-
Gus charities and institutions deserving aid
Almost every day there have been gather
ings of the noble women of this city, who de-
vote their lives to acts of benevolence for
which their satisfaction in doing good is the
only reward sought or desired. The social
season is just dawning, but these women do
not care so much for the receptions, parties
and 8 o'clock teas as for doing what they can
TO ameliorate the condition of those who are
not so well supplied with the blessings Of
life as themselves.
The hospitals, especially, demand the con-
slant attention of those who are ever on the
watch for an opportunity to do good. In
this connection it is noteworthy that the
Ladies' Aid Society OF the South Side Hos
pital is getting along bravely with its pre-
parations for the entertainments to be given
in the beginning of November, and from
which they expect to net large sum for the
benefit of the struggling institution on the
South side. Then there is the National
Pageant, that the ladies of the
Church of the Ascension are ar
ranging for, SO that they may build q
new parsonage. 1t is evident that the ladies
of Pittsburg are determined to do their part
toward building public edIfices in their city.
There were several notable marriages
during the week 1t is remarkable that most
OF the weddings have taken place in the
home, instead of in Che church. Is it possi-
bic that there is a feeling in favor of home
weddings, to the exclusion of the parade in
the church altogether? 1t appears SO.
There is one thing in favor of the present
wedding season. With one exception the
past week has been beautiful. Happy is the
bride the sun shines on, they say. If this
be true the brides of the past few weeks
should indeed have been happy, for the sun
has done his duty in this respect, and has
shone persistently on every bride. The air
of the last few days. however. has had
snap in it that brings sweet blush to the
maiden cheek, regardless Of her feelings. If
brides have not looked attractive in the air
It is because they are utterly destitute of
beauty. And where in the wide world is
there such bride? IUCETTA LoRNE.
