actsTistic, is told of his trip to Ireland last fall. After the trouble with his son, J. K Emmet, jr., at the Harlem opera house. Fritz" took a sudden notion to go across the water and see the green isle of his fathers. He went there, got of the steamer st Queenstown in the afternoon, and returned to America by the next steamer the following morning.
 When he got on the steamer in the af- ternoon he engaged an Irish jaunting car and told the man who drove it to take him to some familiar spot in the suburbs. "Fritz's" brightness and humor and the Irish drivers natural and homely wit es- abolished an affinity between the two. The old man was delighted with the 'tfoine American gintlemAn," as he afterward ex- pressed it, and Fritz" was reciprocally delighted with the "dacint bit av an Irish man" as he afterward expressed it.
 When the journey was at an end Fritz asked the driver how mnch he wanted.
 ''A couple of shillings, sir, II do," said the old man modestly.
 "Why, you can't live on a couple of shillings," said Fritz, taking out several one pound notes, 'here, take these. and may God bless you." So saying he hand ed him the bills and the delighted old man took home to his family five one pound notes.
 Fritz loved Ireland. Magnificent dogs also had a share in his affections He of ten declared that be paid four thousand dollars for Rector. Fritz was naturally modest and his numerous charities will never be known. Like the silent and in visible dew that falls and refreshes, so were Fritz's many charities to his fellow creatures.

Tact of SocIerxLeaders

Society leaders are the most wonderful women in the world, though they are usu- ally accounted among the idle and worth less butterflies of life. But every one of their e1travagant little whims and likings gives to the great army of workers inn petus in designing and perfecting the vari. ous handicrafts and employment in carry. ing out the designs. But the remarkable thing about this species of women is not what she wears or what she does, but what she remembers.
 In the first place, she invariably remem- bers your name and your hobby, if you have one, asks after your last book or pie ture or poem, your sick baby, your gout or your religion, your new bonnet or but Ter. She doesn't care a pin about it, but it f1atters you, and you like it. And how she can retain and call up at the proper mo ment your particular name, face and in terest, and never ask the emancipated wom- an how her baby is, or the poet about his painting, is the remarkable part, psrticu- larly when she does it with no apparent effort, and never seems to think of any thing at all with the frothy brain beneath her stylish bonnet. ''The great secret of social success is to hurt no ones self love, |" and it is great art, and the woman who eIcels in it lacks neither intelligence nor genius.

A NEBRASKA IDEA.


 The farmers of Nebraska are going to try an interesting experiment. They in tend to beat the grain spectators, so far as their own crops are concerned, by talk ing advantage of the law that was passed last winter giving to the public the use of all the warehouses that are in the State. The farmers propose to store their grain in these buildings and hold it until the market affords the best advantage for sales, raising money in the meantime upon this stored grain, if it is needed, as would be done upon any other property. This plan resembles, in some of it's features, the one proposed by the alliance platform as set forth by the convention held at Ocala The alliance demanded that the govern ment should erect warehouses, receive the grain and other crops that were offered by the farmers and advance money upon them. The agriculturalists of this west ern State will make purely business mat ter of the experiment, except that the State furnishes the warehouses.
 This plan looks we'll enough Con paper" but in practice it may not work as it is e1- pected to. The speculators will probably be as cunning as the farmers. They always have been, and their performances have often been valuable to the farmers We predict that in the forthcoming contest the speculator will be found able to take care of himself, and perhaps the farmer,

lie, who lies now in an unmarked grave
 near Petersburg, Illinois. Dr. Stephenson
 distinguished himself in the war, particu-
 larly at the battle of Shiloh, and at the
 conclusion of hostilities he formulated a
 scheme for banding the surviving soldiers
 in Illinois into benevolent organization.
 Early in January, 1866, he wrote out ritual and constitution, which Governor Oglesby approved, and soon afterwards posts were established at Decatur and Springfield. By August of the same year forty posts had been organized in the State and the order was firmly on its feet It now contains 300,000 members, and is the most powerful order of its kind the world has ever seen.
 Dr. Ethelbert Talbot, who has just been elected bishop of the Episcopal diocese of Georgia, has made a remarkably successful record as missionary bishop of Wyoming. He is generally ranked as a moderate high churchman; but is better known as practical missionary worker than as party man. His racy stories of his work in his great western diocese have made him one of the most popular and best known men in the Episcopal Church, and the announcement that he is to preach or speak always insures large attend ance He is fine specimen of robust manhood and in his missionary labors enters with sympathetic zest into the al fresco life of the far West. He says that when he visits new town in which he desires to start religious services he gener ally makes for the largest saloon the first thing, as he is pretty sure of being able "to round up most of the boys" there. With breezy unconventionality he an nounces that he is a parson, and asks some gentlemen" to aid him in arrang- ing for service. He never appeals in vain, and there is no one to-day more universally beloved by the rough iron tiersmen of Wyoming than Bishop Talbot, whom they regard as "a white man an don't you forgit it."

ANEW BEDFORD JONAH.
The Wild, Weird Tale of Bartley and
 the Whale.


 the Whale.
 New London Letter to St Louis Globe-Demo-
 crat-l
 The whaling vessel Star of the East ar rived here yesterday, after a cruise of two years and half in the South Atlantic waters. She had on board man who is veritable Jonah, having existed in whales belly thirty-six hours.
 The mans statement is vouched for by the captain and crew of the vessel, and to- day he is an object of great curiosity among the sailors. The mans name is James Bart ley, and he halls from New Bedford, where he was born thirty-eight years ago. He has made two voyages from this port on the Star of the East, and notwithstanding his exciting experience during his last trip he says that he will.ship for another voyage as soon as an opportunity to do so offers it. self. The strange story told by him is, in substance, as follows:
 Last February the Star of the East was in the vicinity of the Falkland Islands searching for whales, which were very scarce. One morning the lookout sighted whale about three miles away on the star board quarters. Two boats were manned and put chase to the prey.
 III a SnOIU IlIue Oue OI tne DOAtS was near enough to enable the harpooner to send a spear into the whale, which proved to be an exceedingly large one. With the shaft in his side the animal sounded and then | sped away, dragging the boat after him at | terrible speed. He swan straight away about five miles, when he turned and came back almost directly toward the spot where he had been harpooned. The second boat waited for him, and when but @ short dis tance away from it he rose to the surface. As soon as his back showed above the sur face of tho water the harpooner in the sec ond boat drove another spear into him. The pain apparently crazed the whale, for it thIeshed about fearfully, and it was feared that the boats would be swamped and the crews drowned. Finally the whale swam away, dragging the two boats after him. He went about three miles and sounded or sank, and his whereabouts could not be exactly told. The lines at tached to the harpoon were slack, and the harpooners began to slowly drag them in and coil them in the tubs. As soon as they were tautened the whale arose to the surface of the water and beat about with his tail in the maddest fashion. The boats attempted to get beyond the reach of the animal, which was apparently in its death agonies, and one of them succeeded, but the other was less fortunate. The whale struck it with his nose and upset it. The men were thrown into the water, and be- fore the crew of the other boat could pick them up one man was drowned and James Bartley had disappeared. When the whale became quiet from exhaustion the waters were searched for Bartlsy, but hecould not
