OLD WAR OFFICE.


war Office of Gov. Trumbull, at Leba-
non, Conn, where the plans of the revo-
lutionary leaders were discussed, was
fast falling into decay, and his tomb.
where lie the bones of several revOlu-
tionary celebrities, was crumblins
away. They had both been offered to
the town by Mrs. Wattlcs. their
aged owner, on condition that they
should he kept in repair, but the penuri-
ed would not undertake the small out
lay that would be necessary. The New
York Sun some months ago published
the facts and aroused the attention of
the Sons of the Revolution. and they
sent n committee to treat with Mrs
Wattles.
The old war Office was many years
ago removed from its old site on the
town green and is in n state of dilapida-
ton. 1t will be brought back to its old
position, where Washington, Trumbull,
Putnam, Knox. Sullivan, Spence. the
two Adamscs, Franklin, jefferson, John
Jay, Lafayette, Rochambcau, Admiral
Tiernay and other revolutionary lead
ers, American and French, used to sit
around table and discuss their plans
of campaign. The day of the removal
will he made a great revolutionary fes-
tival in which all Connecticut will take
part. The old house was Gov. Trum-
bulls place of business before the out
break of the war. lie was engaged in
the shipping trade with the West In
dies, his vessels coming up as far as
Norwich and the goods they landed be-
ing sent over the country in carts.
Gov. Trumbull's tomb is in one Of the
oldest graveyards in New England. in

MEMS OLD CLOTHES.


They Are Carefully Hoarded and jealous
ly Guarded.
A comparison between men and
women in their love for many posses
sions when it comes to clothes will
show always that it is men who cling
to their old clothes and not women.
Why. most men are perfect magpies
about their garments. No matter how
frayed, or shabby or soilcd a garment
is. no matter how impossible it is that
he should ever want it, he would nc
more think of parting with it than he
would with his scalp-lock.
And as for getting clothes enough,
no man ever did that The Woman
knows one man who has eighteen over
coats and fOrty-three pairs of shoes and
he couldn't be induced to sell. give
away or pawn blessed one of the
coats or pair of the shoes And he's no
fOp, either. but 4 sensible business
man. And the Woman knows another, a
man, a stout, middle-aged man. beyond
the time of vanities in dress, who
boards his clothes like a perfect miscr.
He gives liberally to all kinds of chari-
ties, public and private; he couldn't
pass a beggar on the street without
giving him dime if he tried; he even
gives his best cigars and liquors to his
wife's relatives, who never approved of
the match, when they come to call.
But if. at any unfortunate moment, a
ragged, Notwithstanding beggar
asks for pair of worn-Out shoes or a
coat to keep out the winters cold, that
poor fellow gets the door banged in his
face with an emphasis that is wickeder
than any words could be. His wife
says it would be easier for him to di-
vorcc himself from her than from any
one of his old suits of clothes.-N. Y.

A Eronfier Fire Alarm.

There is a town in Colorado in which,
it is said, there being no other stated
means of giving an alarm of fire, the
practice is for citizens who discover a
fire to announce the fact by rapid and
promiscuuus discharge of their re-
volvers. In this way the authorities
learn that something is wrong, and are
enabled in course of time to find where
and what it is. But in what way n dis
tinction is made, or whether any dis
tinction is attempted. between a fire
and a fracas, and how it is determined
whether the police, the fire department
or the ambulance is the particular arm
OF the law required. is not made appar.
ent to the reader.

VICE PRESIDENT MORTON.

suggested that the busts of the vice
presidents be placed at the foot of the
gallery, where they would have a splen-
did top light and show to good advan-
tage the character of the men who have
occupied the prominent place of vice
president of the United States, and this
change of position may possibly be
made later on. The architect of the
capitol has shown rare good judgment
in having the work made from life. Too
often important matters of this kind are
left until it is too late accurately to
portray the character of the men who
have held this great Office.
1t is said that Mr.. Elwell modelled the
bust in two sittings of three hours each,
and perhaps this accounts for the spirit
and vigor of its handling. Mr.. Morton's
face is one that is sculptoresIuc, having
the large. noble qualities often found in
the Greek sculptures. Both Mr.. and
Mrs. Morton have expressed themselves
as satisfied with the result. Mr.. Nor
ton himself chose Mr.. Elwell to make
the bust, which is of heroic size.

FACT AND FANCY.


Tho Skillful Blending Of the Real and
Imaginary.
When man knows in part, he is eager
to know in full. He is sure to make
effort to know. His mind works from
the known toward the unknown by
varied processes. He reasons. He
traces analogies- He imagines. He
adds surmises to his certainties. And
after awhile one is puzzled to know
how much of his story is dieam stuff,
and how much the substance out OF
which true history is made.
But thus it has always been. HON.
ers poems are to such a degree the
product of his own fertile and splendid
fancy, and of the myths which he found
afioat in the air of the world he lived
in, that pr Dple forgot how much reality
had place n the works of his genius.
When Schliemann began to unearth the
facts of marble, bronze and gold long
buried in Greece and Asia Minor every
body was surprised to find SO much in
the Had and the Odyssey that may be
called history.
Sir Walter Scott has put his own
dream power into the ancient times of
which he wrote. One who reads him
needs a well-schooled critic and interpre-
ter at hand to distinguish between the
historical facts and the creations of fancy
which the Wizard of the North has
SO bewitchingly blended.-Bishop John
H. Vincent in Harper's Young People.

SHE SAT UP AND WIPED HER EYES.

back, saying:
Hugh, waitr' then added: "Mis
Merrill, my brother"
He knew her in the dim light of tn,
hallway, but, her eyes being dazzle,
by the change from .outer darkness t,
inward light, failed to recognize him
which was not SO strange. since sh,
had long ago forgotten him and hi
nose.
After that he met her often, but neve
once alluded to their first meeting, a.
he saw she did not in the least remem
Der him. He very seldom spoke to he
more than required by common court
esy. She regarded him as rather Z
''dfy" young man, not in the least in
teresting, but real good, poor soul,
which is perhaps the most damnatory
praise woman can bestOw on a man
AS she was impetuous and not analyt-
ical her opinion was formed on the in
slant and was unfair to him.
He admired her of course, as she
possessed all the qualities in which he
was most lacking. But he was analyt
ical, and decided that some of her i'm
pulses needed restraining, and a rash.
ness of speech, to which she was given
toning down. Nor would he have OBJ
jectcd to the task had it not been fol-
his benumbing timidity.
But fate had not forgotten him. One
day she sent him, ostensibly on bust.
ness, to the tenth story of the Mohawk
building. On the ninth was the con-
servatory where Elinor studied and
taught The business completed, he
was returning, and between the tenth
and ninth floors the old dame oiled the
wheels of the elevator SO they glided
along perfectly. At the ninth they
stopped for n single passenger, and as
it had already been ordained, it was
she-the she that fate had selected for
him and introduced with SO much en-
phasis- The elevator being a good
one, moved smoothly on its earthward
way, and would have accomplished its
task had not fate appointed it to hang,
stuck fast between the fifth and sixth
floors The boy in charge jerked up
and down, signalled and called, all to
no purpose; for there are powers su-
perior to man and mechanism, and
there it was destined to stay for time.
Now was the time appointed for
ElinOr to recognize and appreciate
qualities il Hugh whose existence she
had not suspected nor been interested
enough to try to discover
At first the suspension in midair was

there's any danger? Will we ever get

pulsively clutched his asm. They were
both standing, and before replying he
gently unclasped her fingers, and, hold
ing the trembling hand, said, quietly:

in summing up his good points, that
his nose was his strong point This
had been literally proven, for it had
just come out of a terrific encounter
unbroken, but with a serious loss OF
shape! The most skillful anatomist
| would have been unable to decide now
| its class-Greek, pug. aquiline or what.
So much for him. Now for her.
When she hurried off and left him
standing on the steps half bewildered
she was overwhelmed with regret and
shame. But before she had reached
State street, by a transition peculiar to
female feelings, she was giggling hys-
terically until her eyes were watery
match for Hugh's.
''Good gracious! how funny he
looked. He might have got out of the
way. the big stupid. He seemed more
| scared than hurt, too. l do not like Il
man to show fear at any time, and to
show it for such trifie is contempti-
bier and she called up look of scorn
! at his lack of endurance of physical
pain.
Then at the thought of actual pain
her expression changed to one of com
passion. and she said:
81 suspect it did hurt him, poor fel.
low. It's no small thing to smash ones
nose with big door like that" and
then she laughed again at the unpre.
| me editated turn of her sentence.
That day in her round of duties at
the conservatory where she was a
pupil and teacher she had fits of abstrac-
ton al.ernatcd by fits of giggling, but
by evening had nearly forgotten the cir
cumstance.
At the close of her days work her
mother asked her what she had been
doing Then she related the misad-
venture of the weather-door. Her
mother said, seriously:
''Elinor, if you do not restrain your
impetuosity you will certainly kill
some one one of these days"
Elinor was as quick and eager in her
movements, and habits of thought and
ate, and fair division of their re-
spective faults would have made them
models of department, at least
Time went on, as il mas an unimpedi-
BILE way of doing, till it reached that
division marked by man as February.
Hugh still kept his trophy and a dis
tinct remembrance of the encounter
and the girl. Elinor had an intermittent
recollection of the accident, and very
indistinct one of the man. She now,
however. took a look before she went
through wcather-door So did he, for
that matter.
Hugh's sister Mary had formed new
acquaintance and was at that high
pitch of enthusiasm incidental to new
female ''fidus Achates.' IE stronger
gush of admiration than usual she had
gone SO far as to say to him:
"Oh, Hugh, you ought to know Nell.
She's just lovely! So full of go and
spirits, she'd stir even you up
To this Hugh made no reply other
than grunt and the muttered words:
